Any tiling regard ing the wheat market, is of interest to our readers, and therefore we quote remarks of the commercial editor of tne . F. JSnHeli of. the 30th December: The market for breadstuff has remained vefj!T3i2l,rfromaa indispoHitwn to accept of current rates.' 'The Liverpool market is.-still 11a. Sdlls 4d, against lis 9d tins day last year." The war has pre sented no new features that affect the breadstuff market immediately, whatever may ultimately bo the case. The chances eccm now to be that the war w ill be pro longed, mostly because of German milU tary mistakes growing out of the ovcr confideoce which their first brilliant suc cesses created. It is asserted that pru dence required the overrunning of the Frencbi provinces so aa to prevent the fcjrmatioo of armies before the investment of Paris, which would the a have been, so to speak, strangled. After the full of MeU the occupatioa of the provinces was easy. Xow, while Paris has become formidable, requiring , increasing, force and vigilance to prolong the siege, ar mies have been formed oi sufficient vigor not only to restrain the German move uents, but to press upon . their lines, while the garrison is unable to distend its lines of circumvalation.. In short, France is becoming relatively stronger, and a prolongation of the war will seriously affect the crops of anoiher year, notwith- standing that efforts are being niado to extood the culture of wheat to meet that ioticipated want. The future, therefore is more favoiable to a rise than the imme diate aspect of the markets. The want of rain is now again being felt, and fears are beginning to be entertained, iu con sequence of the dryness . of December. But late rains, if they come, are more beneficial than early rains.

The .uurnars Washington special states that, in a dis patch to the State Department, Minister Waahburne expressed an opinion that the surrender of Paris will not terminate the war. The French have at no stage of the struggle evinced greater determina tion, and he thinks they. will not submit as long as they have men or money left.

' -' Advices from Paris to the 30tli state that the Parisians urge Trochu to : make a eoi tie with an enormous force, as now their artillery is so numerous and the weather is moderating. Von Moltke, after the battle between Faiderbe and Manteuffel, sent a messen ger to Trochu that tho Army of the North was annihilated. Trochu paid no attention to the message. A severe engagement preceded the German evacuation of Grey. The German retirement from Gicn is apparently confirmed. Paris advices show that intense excite ment prevails among the population, who demand to make a grand sortie. A num ber of Mayors of the city have called upon Trochu insisting that he will accede to their desire. It is stated that Paris journals accuse Trochu of Idleness. A number of 1 Bor deaux journals seem to coincide that it is understood orders will be sent to the Generals to hasten movements upon Paris. A new General has been sent to command the French forces at Havre. ; The evacuation of liouen is considered certain, and Manteuffel is forced to ccntrate in the north owning to a ward movement of Faiderbe along valley to Ho. , Chauccy continues his successes flying columns of Algerian cavalry. Versailles,. Jan. 4. The bombard I ment is so effectual on the east side of Paris that there are only feeble replies from the jrarrison. The banker's participation in the French loau is severely censured at Ber lin. - London, Jan. 4. Tho Army of the North occupied Aziencourt after ,a tri fling resistance. Villiers and Burqusi were also carried with heavy loss. Paris is suffering for want of food aud fuel. The latter want is mitigated by stores officially distributed. Austria will arrest and detain escaping French prisoners during the war. Prussia declines to back Austria's de mand for a guarantee on the lower Dan ube. .. . Bordeaux, Jan. 4. It is officially announced that Faidherbe sends the fol lowing dispatch, under date of the 3d inst. : "A battle near Bassante yesterday lasted from eight o'clock in the morning till six in the evening. I have driven the Prussians from all positions and vil lages held by them. The enemy's losses are numerous; ours are serious." London, Jan. 4. Amadous made an enthusiastic entry into Madrid on Mon day, and proceeded to the Chambers and took the oath. The enthusiasm is universal. Maduid, Jan. 3. The King cousults Rosas, Serrano, Rivero aud Alazago on the formation of the Constitutional Minis try. -London, Jan. 4. Austria sends Szwain to the conference. Versailles, Jan. 3. The King at a reception said : Great events roust have preceded our getting on such a day to place. It is due to your heroism and perseverance and bravery of the troops. Our objeet is still unattained. Important tasks remain before we can achieve a Iaatiug peace. It would be censurable to make a peace if you must continue duties bringing you here. British demands relative to colliers are in a fair way to adjustment. London, Jan. 4. There was fighting on the 1st near the Swiss frontier. Two hundred French retreated into Switzer land and were disarmed. There was a severe engagement on the 1st at Dclle, Particulars unknown. There arc vague rumors at Lille of a battle on the 2d between the towns of Busigny and Bapaume, with heavy losses on both sides. Tho Prussians were defeated alonjr the whole line. The conference of the Great Powers that was appointed to take place at Lon don will not be held. The whole project appears to have fallen through.; Mean while Russia refuses lo abate a jot of her demands on the Black Sea question, and is disregarding totally the treaty of Pans. What next ? ; late The total vote in Nevada at the election was 13,348. The voting was very irregular. Seven Democrats on the State ticket wcro elected i by majorities ranging from 28 to 1,032, and six Re publicans by majorities ranging from 59 to 797. The issue was not a political oue, and fi&w "straight tickets" were voted. The Republicans have both branches of the Ledature. -T It is reported that, a corps of 12,000 volunteers have been formed in Parie, who have sworn to cut theirway through the Prussian lines and organize a body in the Provinces, t "You can do anything if you baye pa tience," said an old uncle, who had, made a fortune, to his nephew, who had nearly spent one. " '"Water may be carried in a sieve, if you otly wait." "How long?" asked the petulant spendthrift, whe ' was impatient for the old manVdeath. "Till it freezes," was the cold reply. . With characteristic complacency the JNew Orleans Times remarks that the Congress of the United States needs an infusion of that ability and stern integri ty which, the' South, when left' to choose from' her own sons, has never failed to give to that body. 1 Gen. Prim, of Spaiu, died from wouuds received at the bands of assassius, in Mad rid December 31st.. Ilia assassins all es caped. His death produced a profound sensation all over Spain. A man in Chicago has a pair of boots that were made on his wedding day, thirty years ago, and although he has only used them on wedding occasions, they are badly worn. ... Don Pedro, King of Brazil, is expect- cu to visit tne mtcu j-iates, soon, wucn he will make the tour of all the leading cities, taking observations which may be useful to him hereafter. Some short time since a gang of ruf fians were surprised while holding high carnival in one of the vaults of the - old cemetery near Troy.
