A large Deputation of persons interested in the Silk - Trade hod a very long conference yesterday with the Board of Trade. for the purpose of representing the dist:meal condition of chat branch of our manufactures, which they attribute mainly to the reduction of the protecting duties. On the other hand, the Government attribute the present evils to the smuggling. which, notwithstanding every exertion which can be made to prevent it, still continues; and we understand that the . Board of Trade expressed a very decided opinion, that the present system of duties should n. t be altered, unless indeed for the purpose of reducing still lower the present . rate of duty ou the importation of the article. We could hardly have supposed that the system of smuggling could have been still carried on to such an immense extent as to affect the whole of this br-ncb of our national industry, and if such is the case, the imposition of a higher rate of duty would necessarily add to the evil, by increasing the temptation to smuggle. We suspect, however, that some other cause must exist than that which is assigned for the distresses of this trade, and we cannot help fearing that it is to be traced to that general stagnation of business which pre veils in too many other branches of industry, but which, from the Silk Trade being more sensitive than any other, is first and most seriously felt in that line of business. We trust this subject will receive the fullest consider. ation of Government, as it affects the interests, we had almost said existence, of so many thousands of persons. We received this mmning the Algemeine Zeihing to the 20th inst. and Brussels Papers of yesterday's date.
