INDIA COMPANY'S INDIGO SALE. In consequence of-the pressure of the times, several of the principal in n brokers applied to the Company to have their sale postponed. The Directors referred the ap plicartkm to the Committee of IWarehouses, which in its turn brought the eubjeet under the consideration of the Dirre tors, who took-ten days to consider it, and then returned for answer to the brokers, that the sale must take place on the usual day. In consequence of this decision of the Directors, the sale commenced yesterday morning, but at a much later hour than is custotnary, as it ditl not begin until twenty minutes before one o'cleet. A few chests of the first part of the ca- talogue were reeled fur sale. but no purehmars appearing. the taxed prices twine considered too high, the sale was ad , journal until to-morrow (this, day). Eighteen hundred elit-sts were withdrawn from the sale. We understand that the hrokera are dissatisfied at the short time that was given to them for inspecting the indigo, by reason of the delay occasioned by tie Directors not earlier declaring their in tention of bringing on the sale; and in addition to this circumstance. the short and dark days orerated against an inspection of the article to he sold by the brokers.

It is unnecessary. in the present dulness, to enter into a regular statement of the variomi articles manufactured here. Trade, nt this season of the year, is in general brisk, in consequence of preparatim. for spring orders. The late feverish state of the moticy market in London— the insolventy of a number of the most extensive banking eltablialorneliu , —and the want of confidence naturally re sulting from these causes, have been severely felt here, as will as In ether parts of the kingdom. Although the stability of our banking establishments here was never called irt question, public credit received a a vcre shock by a recent occurrence in oar manufacturing circle, and the want of the usual discounts which it pro &Jell created considerable ernbarrassinent among those to io commercial pursuits. The fancy silk gauze trade, which was one of our most important branches, and, in all its various den's'- - - 4 041templeyn - est inwards siviene at a consphie viand, and many individuals, who supportea their famine+ very respectably, have beeti reduced to poverty. This trade was doing well, both for manufac turers and operatives, and was gradually increasing every year. It would appear, however, that it is to be sacri ficed to some ucw-fangled notions of our political econo : ; and those principles of trade under which this f ingdm o has reached its present pre-eminence, are to be Andotted for theoretical conclusions, and our liberality is to be shown in adopting measures which will have the elf et of taking ;he trade from our manufacturers and in genious operatives, and putting it exclusively into the hands of our rivals ui.en the Continent. No time therefore ought to be lost in endeavouring to avert this calamity, by an appeal to Parliament upon this momentous question : arid petitions agaiiist the admission of foreign silks upon tl.e proposed new plan should he immediately prepared, and put into the hands of our Nlembers, before the) have for London ; fur it is impossible that the manufac turers here can contend with those upon the Continent, so lull as there is such a great disparity in the price of the necessaries of life.—Paisley Advertiser. Li /marmot Cesrostenoust.— The receip t t of Custom- ! house duties at this port, in the year just en ell, we under- stand, considerably exceeded three millions of money, not withstandiug the panic whi:h prevailed in the interior of the country during the last quarter. The revenue here cons, quently amounts to an entire fifth of the whole col d for the three kingdoms, as the statement made in the I.indon Pipers of last week gave but fifteen millions WI the aggregate. It appears, Scotland and Ireland to gether produce nearly one other fifth, and the large Eng lish ports of Bristol, Hull. and Newcastle conjunctively, almost another fifth ;' so that but two-fifths are left for London and all the remaining parts of England to make up —Lie•rpool Saturday's Ad:whirr. It appears from some official documents which have been published in the Bristol Joornal, that the differences between the Corporation of that city and the Chainuer of Commerce having, in the course of tiler inquiries, forcibly smarted the attention of the Parliamentary Commissioners, site Chairman, Mr. Wallace, otteied to mediate between the' parties, in order to settle those unhappy and injurious divisions: and it being thought that the establishment of a channel of free communication totween the Corporation, t the'Sneiety of Merchants, and the Chamber of Commerce, by the appointment of a Committee from each body, would, in all probability, hare the effect of extinguishing all discord between those bodies, the measure was 'weeded 1 , to by the Meechacts and the Chamber ; but the Corpora tion met the whole proposal by a (indention, that " it could not but antieipate insuperalie difficulties in applying the principle of the negotiation and arrangement to the settlement of diffirences which wholly consist of hostile semrssions, on the one hand, upon the revenue and consti tutions! government of the Corporation; and, on the other, of the necessary defence and maintenance of rights tstab'islied by the enjoyment and usage of centuries." A Itt.sor RECKONLII.—When ()raze Bidder, the cal cuiiting phenomenon, was a very little boy, he made the toot of England with his father, displaying everywhere his astcmiehing power of combining and resolving numbers ; among severe extrerr,elv ingeuioue and difficult questions %Melt bad been prepared for hint, an ignorant pedagogue asked (without furnishing any data), how many cow-tails .would teach to the moon?

The critical situation in which the trade and manufac tures of Scotland are placed, from the operations of the various combinations, are strongly illustrated in the present state of the iron trade. From the manner in which this im portant business has been obstructed and impeded in its regular operations in all the various departments, from the first process till it is converted into manufactured goods, the iron-mcsters and founders are no longer able to com pete with the Enid nib and Welsh iron-masters. In a recent instance, where offers were wanted for iron cast ings, the Scotish iron-masters could not afford to furnish them under 181. a ton, while the English contractors offered them at lIL a ton, and to be at the coat of carriag e. The certain consequence of this state of things must he that, unlesa this trade if very soon made open, and labour rendered free, the Scotish manufactmer of iron will be beat out of the market, and the trade transferred to England, where no such impediments exist ; and a parallel ease will be afforded to that of the wearers combination, who drove a branch of their manufactures to the north of Ire land. The business is at present completely clogged by the regulations of the combinations. In the founderies the workmen maintain a complete monopoly, making from to 4i. a-week, and rigidly excluding new hands, anti allow. inr no apprentices to be taken but what they seem proper. In a recent case a respectable man put his two sons to learn to b.! founders—it was intimated that this was transgreasing the rules of the combination, and they would strike unless they were withdrawn. The employer was forced to com ply. They also determined that every man must abide by the work he has once learned. The employers are thus tied down, and at the met cy of their workmen, who, if any new hands were introduced, or any thing else done at which they might choose to take offence, would desert their work in a body. All kinds of ironmongery goods hare risen, during the last six months, from 20 to 30 per cent. owing to this cruse. door-lock, that could formerly have been bought fur a shilling, is now 22d. Screws and other articles used in furniture are risen in die same pro portion. From the additional expense thus incurred in furnishings, and a small rise in timber, a common bedstead that formerly cost 30s. is risen to 2/. he cabinet-makers will allow no hands that come from the country to work in a shop in town Bolen they conform to their regulations. . . j'heie Imola are injured, and ski,' swim annovees'hat. they have to give it up. The house-wrights, if their employer engage what they call "groin hands," that is those from the country, and who are not so experienced as they think they ought to be, refuse to work with them ; and es bud nes* of this kind is done by contract, and within a limited time, there is no resource for the employer but to comply, and lismiss the hands obnoxious to the combined. Cases of the same audsciolia interference with the choice of work men are constantly occurring in the various trades formed into the monopolising plan ; and it is very easy to foresee that unless this system is torn up by the rats, it must very soon prove fatal to the best interests of this country. There must be complete freedom of labour in all the ramifications of business, to enable it to be successfully carried on for the advantage of the employer and employed. There is no question that those confederacies which are at present leaping inordinate wages by excluding the well deserving and peaceful workman from their trades, will soon bring a terrible re-action upon themselves.—Glaegow Chronicle. At the Shropshire and Staffordshire ironniarters quarter slays lase week the price if iron was generally advanced I los.; or, more correctly, the advance of lOs. agreed to it a numerous meeting of the trade at Wolverhampton, in No vember last, was confirmed. Is was proposed to advance it IJ. per ton. hut the proposition was negatived ; and under present circumstances, and the remunerating prices now obtained, the permanent interest of the trade is certainly heat casulted by limiting the advance. No. I melting pigs are advanced ins. per ton additional. The trade has been but slightly affected by the recent " panic" in the money market, and but a few insignificant failures have occurred in consequence. The demand of the consumers has not been di minished, and a considerable exportation has taken place in the last quarter. Although the makeof iron will probably be increased in the present year, by the completion of many new works and public companies now forming, yet, looking hack the progressive increase of the demand and consumption, it is not probable that the increased supply will lower the price. The failure of the Birmingham hank of Messrs. (lihbins, Smith, and Goode, whose notes had a consider able circulation in Stsfl'ordshire, among the ironworks and collieries, temporarily inconvenienced some of the masters, and caused much severe lots to many of the labouring class who held their smaller notes, and who were least able to I bear it. This great staple trade, however, though but slightly affected by the recent convulsion and scarcity of cash, in common with the whole mercantile criminality, consider Ministers bottud to introduce into Parliament such legislative measures as will enable an Englishman to calculate, with some degree of certainty, on the value of Ida property, and the means of punctually meeting com mercial engagements. Coal continues at its former high price, and the presi nt severity of the weather will doubtless maintain it.--Sl.97;.rdshire Puler.

The folios ilia Report %els Ikea read, " Your Committee beg in risort tiss,t, in pursuance, to the mos lotion passed at the general meesiog of the shareholders held oa the 121 day of Novi:usher lam, they caused application to he made to the Directors hut otrininsion to inspect the tiOnEs and proceedings of the Compat,y, hitt although the Siiheitn, to the Company for warded such application to the Directo r s, no answe IssyS been pi `ten to the **the. " Your Committee alsit report that they directed their Solicitor to lay a Eadinnesit of the whole of the case relating to the Associ a ti on before the Attorney and Solicitor General, Mr. Pollock, Mr. Tin. (NW and Etiight, of the Chancery bar, and a Sub•Committet atteuded the Consultations; and your Con.rnivee have the satisfac tion to report that all those gentlemen concur in opinion that any original shareholder may ritaaatilts an action to recover back h l t; de. I posit money, either at jaw ur in equity ; but they entertained con. siderable doubt whether any action can be scope - tied by those who are not original subscribers • at the same time. Mr. Knight, of the Chancery bar, considered that those parties who haste so become shareholders, although they could not rector,* at law the amount of the deposits paid upon tile respective shares, n:ipht obtain relief in a court of coldly. And with a view of furthering that object with the inure facility, and to save expense, recommend to the share holders that they shoulri appoint trustees:, and convey to oath trustees the whole of their elaitts in respect of the Awrociatim„ in trust, to take such proceedings, on behalf of themselves and other aharxhbVers, as might be deemed advisable for the general int rest of the whole. " Your Committee therefore recommend that trustees should be named by the mee:ing, anti a Deed prepared to carry the proposed trusts into immediate eirat.—Dated this 17th day of January, 1326. " 11Exits Chairrnqui." The CHATItataX said that such was the nature of thh Report presented by the Committee; but it was right to say that they were possevied of more information than they thought proper to enmold. Ideate or to entlooly in the Report. There was another circum stance which he thought it his ditty to state. lie and two other members of the Committee had an interview with three of the Di re:tors yesterday. They did not tneet officially. but the result of the conference wasobat the Directory proposed that three members of the Committee and three of the Director; should meet, that the mines and property should be sold, and the proceeds equally di. aided. lie believed he stated the opinion of the Committee when he said that they by no means recommended the proprietors to ar. cede to such a proposition, although if a resent:a:A proposition was made, the Committee would hare had no hesitation in recommend ing the shareholder to concur In it. Mr. Roßtaxeox said be had hen pr'sent at the interview al luded to by the Chairman. uti4 thought it right td state more fully the proposition made by the Directors. They proposed that upon a sale of the mines and property their expenses should be paid ; so that the whole lots in this unfortunate speculation would fall upon the shareholders, whilst the Directors would tote nothing. Ile (Mr. Robertson) had proposed that the whole transaction should he left to the declaim of • Chanter* barrister. To this one of the Directors acquiesced, but another declined. It was then asked. if the mines were sold, would the Diree.ors forego their claim for 8(10 shares held by them 1 and this one Director answered unhe sitatingly in the affirmative, whilst the other refused to enter into any such arrangement. The only result of the centimeter was, proposal on the part of the Directors to nieet a tie/welkin from the shareholders. The owl, course now open for the shareholders was that recommended by the Report—she appointment of trotters to carry the proper measures into execution. This woad alatplify the proceedings in Chancery ; and as to the expense; no man would be obliged to put his hand in his pocket, as it was only pro posed to deposit the shares in the lands of the trustees, bisected uf money. The Solicitor (Mr. KNIGHT) did not wish to takeupon himself to name the probable amount of expense that would be it:wrest ; but he thought half.a.erown a share would defray all 'mensal expenses. Mr. KNIGHT was hero stilled upon to explain the nature of the proposed trust. Ile said the intention was, fur the great body of shareholders to conrey their interest to five trustees, who could het. ter seek and obtain redress than the individuals themselves. The CM! was the same in principle as an assignment in trust for the be nefit of creditor Nor the same as aseignvis under a lisoktuptcy Att. Mr. Ron t:h.ON said he wished it to be i g&mally known that those only who concurred in the proposition now matisiand de. posited their shares, could participate in any beneficial results. Ile mentioned this lest aeon should conceive that they could enjoy fie victory without joining in the battle.
