All the advantages peculiar to mutual Life Assurance, aris ing from a division amongst the assured of the whole of the mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only guaranteed Mutual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat lower than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non -participating, and for those who effect assurances for temporary purpoars, or debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than by any other plan. By a half premium credit system one-half of the premium. may be retained for the first seven years, and repaid at the con venience of the assured: and by the Ascending Scale a greatly diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.

ALEX. ROBERTSON. Manager. SPORTING. The past has been a great week for Newmarket. I think I never saw such an attendance of gentlemen and so many of the . Manchester division. I have been trying to discover why the latter should be such a hot-bed for sportsmen ; manufacturers usually hoard their ill-gotten.gains, risking not one penny but with the certain return of two. This is quite contrary to the nature abetting men, a valuable body to the pro prietors of race-horses. Few men in the world could stand the expenses of breeding and training, was them no more money to be won than the stake run for, yet there are boobies in the world who endeavour (God help them, for help they want) to write down Tattersall's and the whole system of betting, as if betting was not . an indispensable adjunct to horse.. racing. As I have not yet-found out why they bet so much more at -Manchest er th an th ey do at Liverpool or Leeds, I'll be like Victorine—l'll sleep on it. The fates decreed us no less than seven races on Monday, commencing very properly with a dead heat; so dissatisfied, I must add, were both parties with this result, that a long argument ensued whether it should not be run again after the other races, or on Wednesday. Out of th e seven runn i ng f or the Handi cap three were roarers. The distemper too often ter minatesj thus. Jeremy Diddler won in a canter, there fore by public running is the speediest horse in train ing. The grand match, 5001., all the money, now came off, and, as I was fortunate enough to predict, Dr. Caius won in a canter. To our utter dismay immediately afterwards the horse was declared not to start for the Cesarewitch. Now, had St. Francis been handicapped for the latter race his weight would have been at least 9st. 121 b. What, then, would have been the odds against him had he only carried Bst 101 b.? The reader may now see whether or no I was justi fied in selecting Dr. Caius to win the great race. I maintain he would have won. Of course, Blue Bonnet directly advanced in the favour of the public, and as little as 8 to 1 was taken. As no less than thirteen started for the Nursery Plate, I can only say to the handicapper, whoever he may be, fbr the Nursery Stakes, beware ? Some young horses run amazingly raw the first time they start. We had two remarkable instances of this in Assassin and Little Wonder. John O'Gaunt was beat very easy by Dis cord. The public seemed to forget the Cambridge shire Stakes last year altogether. Some cf the best matches we have had at Newmarket this season were run to-day. The Palace Stable, thanks alone due to the Gallant M.P. for Westminster, is hard to bea t , but the Hon. Member must not attack Garry-, wen in matches Garry is known to be invincil-j ie ", Th e betting on the Cesarewitch was flat, stale, and to bookmakers, most unprofitable. TUESDAY.-1110 heath was by ;to means so crowded as on the same occasion last `season ; but, if I remem ber right, there wag then a prize-fight in the r, 'ale additional attraction of neighbourhood. Colonel Anson again wins the Clearwell, value this time 5801. Murat is evidently an improving horse, and, as a very shrewd gers'cleman remarked, if the Derby is post poned, he, m a y very likely win it : he certainly runs better every time he starts. After this and three mata;nes—one of which Lord Exeter actually won—l p':oceed to speak of the great Cesarewitch—(value to :the winner, 8951.), and for which eighteen started— the precise number I told you would start. In the lamented absence of the celebrated physician, Dr. Caius, we stood on Ralph, although beaten in his match on Monday, as I told you he probably would be. Ralph, not rode by Robinson-*--too fat to ride the weight, confound him I—was beat less 'than one length by the winner. And does any man dare to tell me that Dr. Caius cannotgive this horse 31bs, and beat him a length ? lam bound to thank Lord Eg- Hilton for not starting his horse, as a horse under such circumstances cannot be beat, at the same time I must express my unmitigable surprise that his Lord ship should neglect winning such a good stake, and —and not allow any prophecy to be fulfilled. Every word I said of Florence (second) also came off true. It was a fine race between three, every one of which, belieVing their respective owners, ought to have won: in my humble opinion the best at the weights won, and would win again run again to-morrow. Scott's two cut a wretched figure, and Mr. Etwall's Thistle Whipper, I am told, broke his leg : how or why they do not say. The betting on this race has been throughout bad for the books: true, seven horses have seen 8 to 1 in the quotations, namely, Ralph, Flo rence, Belissima, Portrait, llesling ton, Arcanus, and • Blue Bonnet; but the betting has not been sufficiently general to enable any five hundred book to get full against each. And here let me exclaim against the outrageous nonsense that weekly appears the He rald and Advertiser in imitation of these letters. The editors-of those, journals are evidently not versed h sporting, or they could never be parties to the publi cation cf such insufferable trash. My attention has been called to this subject by some " elegant" extracts that have reesntly appeared in Bell's- Life, a journal that can boast of the services of a gentleman " Pega sus," an exi erienced man, and one who understands his subject. Judex will give him 7lbs. across the Plat nevertheless, but it would be a nice point. The settling on Wednesday went - off •smoothly enough—it usually happens so at Newmarket. I fancy abouts,ooo/. changed hands, and no more. There were two races. The Garden Stakes, usually an interesting race, were not. Two or three horses were heavily backed for the Derby in the afternoon : Cotherstone, 4.niorins, and Progress colt.

ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED By PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realised. Take, for instance, thi. case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 5 1. 3s. 4d. 'to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,000/., sub ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which may he fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,000/., which he cin bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper.

Again, we had very little sport on Thlirsday, but three races. The Stockbridge party have not done wonders this week. On Monday Discord won his race in a canter, but was not backed for one guinea. To-day Palladium was backed for some 5001. and wa3 beat, oft: Bellissima also (they say themselves), de feated by bad management ! John Day, you must turn over a new leaf, or you will send to the wall your re maining partisans. The two matches were both won easy. A brilliant week terminated on Friday with no less than eight races—l must say one word on these. I spoke of Murat's wonderful improvement on Satur day, but I was not prepared for the gigantic strides he evidently intends to take. On Tuesday Napier beat him a head, and on Thursday was sweated : being very backward, it, of course, follows, that he would run all the better on Friday for his previous work. Murat, on Friday, beats him in a common canter : if he has a good winter, and goes on at this rate, the Yeoman and Aristides may remain in the north. Large sums of money were wagered on the match between Dr. Caius and Ralph. Colonel Peel and Colonel Anson voted with Lord Eglinton, while the Palace stable had a host of influential supporters. The Doctor falling lame, it was, . of course, no race, and Ralph cam e i n by himself. It seems that there was a reason, and a good one, too, ,why this horse (Dr: Cams) not *start for the eesarefiteh. He has recently had a leg, as the saying goes, and they were afraid of doing too much with him. He will not now show for the Cambridgeshire I should imagine. John Day (alas! John Day, you certainly are getting old) won two more races without backing his horses for a fi-ver, as they say in the ring. Honest John has shown more ingenuity this week than in any five years previous in his life. As we depend on the Palace stable for matches at Newmarket, the re sult of the stable's performances may not be uninter esting. They had horses in fourteen matches—they won four, lost four, received forfeit in three, paid for feit in one, and ran two dead heats. For this portion of the week's sport we are entirely indebted to the Hon. Capt. Rous : in the name of the publio and per sonally I thank him. After the races on Thursday there was an amazing altercation and argument as to what horses really belonged to Scott's lot. The question appears to be, whether those horses not actually in training are to be included, as, says one, it is quite possible Major Yar burgh may send his horses to some other trainer. There was a great noise, and most gentlemen argued as they were interested, and no fools either. As the Jockey Club, at their meeting, came to a resolution they would no more decide disputed bets, the " Scott's lot" question, as far as it relates to any bets already made, must be settled by the parties immediately concerned. The remedy for the future is most simple, for the names of the horses can easily be written down and booked with the bet, and it need hardly be said that it is absolutely necessary gentlemen must know what number of animals they back or bet against. There is much to be said on both sides of the question, I confess, but my opinion is decidedly that the lot backed must include every horse then the property of Scott's known m as t e r s , whether the horse was in training or not. My reas on is this, simply becaus e between honourable men, a bet stands as it was understood by both parties at the time it was made; and why this year an exception should be made, I am at a loss to discover. Mr. Nevill's horses generally go up late, frequently after the lot have been backed ; but I have never heard the question mooted whether his horses were to be excluded. Cooper's lot were backed for the next Derby long before St. Valentine left Hampton Court. John Day's lot is often backed long before all Mr. Wreford's horses arrived from the country. We have no laws on the subject, but if long-established custom is binding, certes, it is on my side. People talk of the published list, when, perhaps, no two papers contain the same ; moreover, m the list I have seen I observe a horse named Game cock, the prop er t y o f L or d Ch es t er fields steward, and trained by him, if Mr. Dorling's Epsom list be cor rect, and I have no reason to believe it otherwise. 0ct.17. JUDEA. A LTERATION in 'CHANGE HOURS. A most numerous and highly influential meeting of the merchants of the City of London took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of holding the Exchange at an earlier hour in the afternoon. Among those present we noticed Lionel Rothschild, Esq., J. Bates, Esq., J. Doxet, Esq., James Cook, Esq., and several other influential merchants and members of the Stock Exchange. THOMAS BATES, Esq., of the firm of Baring Bro thers, in the absence of John Heath, Esq., the Gover nor of the Bank of England, took the Chair shortly after two o'clock ; and after reading the advertisement calling the meeting, he stated that he believed in con sequence of himself and others having agitated the question with respect to the alteration in the hours of 'Change, the present meeting had been called. He had conversed with several most influential persons, and he believed from those conversations there would be very little, if any, opposition to the plan intended to be submitted to the meeting, which had been called solely for the purpose of knowing whether among the merchants of London there was any ob jection to that plan; if, therefore, any gentleman present had any objection to urge, he should be happy to hear it. LIONEL ROTHSCHILD, Esq., moved the first reso lution, which was to the following effect :—" That in consequence of much inconvenience having arisen from the late hour .of meeting and remaining on 'Change, it is desirable that henceforth the Exchange be holden from three to four o'clock, p.m., to close pre cisely at the last named hour." He had much plea sure in proposing this resolution, because he believed it would facilitate business, and would meet with the approbation of all parties. GEORGE MOFFAT, Esq., seconded the resolution, feeling no doubt that its adoption would be attended with great convenience to the commercial world. He believed that the alteration proposed was essentially necessary, as he found upon inquiry that the 'Change in London was later than any other commercial mart in the world. Mr. SimesoN wished to say a few words with re spect to the resolution. He had been a broker for upwards of 23 years, and from the experience he had derived during that period, he thought there would be many disadvantages attending the closing of the Ex change at so early an hour as four o'clock. He thought if it was kept open to half-past four, every necessary advantage would be secured. With respect to what had been stated by the seconder of the resolution, as to the 'Change in London being later than any other ports, it should be remembered that the port of London was more extensive than any other port in the world, and the business of it was conducted upon very different principles. He was connected with the timber trade, and from his knowledge of the traffic in that commodity, he was convinced that it would be greatly injured by 'Change hours being shortened to four o'clock. Persons engafed in that business fre quently could not sea the Custom-house officers till two o'clock at the Docks, and it was, therefore, im possible they could be prepared by four o'clock. He would, therefore, submit to the meeting whether half past four o'clock would not be a better hour. Ha would also add, that he did not think they could carry out the present proposition till the new Exchange was completed. He would not move any amendment, but only stated what he had done for the consideration of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN observed that, with respect to the timber trade, which had been adverted to by Mr. Simp son, it must be remembered that it was but one among many trades, and that, by commencing busi ness a little earlier, the evils complained of might be remedied. As to the faults of the Custom-house officers, that was an evil that ought, and no doubt would, be remedied. .The worthy Chairman having put the resolution, declared it to be carried, with only one dissentient. Mr. DALLAS then moved the following resolution : " That a Committee be appointed to carry the fore going resolution, and other matters connected there vith, into effect." He believed, if an efficient Corn nittee was appointed, well acquainted with 'Change, the best results might be expected. Among the old practices he should wish to see kept up, was ringing the bell, and effectually closing the doors at 4 o'clock. Mr. POWELL seconded the resolution. He depre cated the old plan of ringing the bell, considering it a great annoyance. He had spoken to Mr. Tite, the architect, on the subject, and that gentleman had stated that the evil might be remedied by placing the bell on a belfry, above the Exchange. The resolution was agreed to unanimously. The following gentlemen were then appointed to the Committee :—J. Heath, Esq., J. Bates, Esq., Lionel Rothschild, Esq., F. Huth, Esq., H. Salem, Esq., J. Doxet, Esq., and. J. Cook, Esq. Mr. SIMPS O N wished to know whether the Chair man was aware that there was a Treasury minute in existence, to the effect that the doors of the Exchange should be kept open till five o'clock. The CHAIRMAN was fully aware of that fact, but thought it might be easily got over. Mr. MOFFATT was sure that Sir R. Peel would not act against the wish of the merchants of London. Mr. DOXET thought that the great vice was the late hours at which foreign bills were delivered. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. At the conclusion of the meeting it was arranged by those gentleman who had been appointed on the Committee that they should meet this day at two o'clock, for the purpose of considering the best course to be pursued. THE SLAVE TRADE-PROCEED INGS OF BRITISH CRUISERS. LETTER FROM LORD ABERDEEN TO THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF THE ADMIRALTY. Foreign-office, 20th May, 1842. My Lords—l big to call your Lordships' attention to the subject of the instructions given to her Majes• ty's naval officers employed in suppressing slave trade on the coast of Africa, and to the proceedings which have taken place with reference thereto, as detailed in the papers named in the margin of this letter. Her Majesty's Advocate-General, to whom these papers have been submitted, has reported that he can not take upon himself to advise that all the proceed ings described as having taken place at Gallinas, New Cestos, and Sea Bar, are strictly justifiable, or that the instructions to her Majesty's naval officers, as re ferred to in these papers, are such as can with perfect legality be carried into execution. The Queen's Advocate is of opinion that the block ading rivers, landing and destroying buildings, and carrying off persons held in slavery in countries with which Great Britain is not at war, cannot be con sidered as sanctioned by the law of nations, or by the provisions of any existing treaties ; and that however desirable it may be to put an end to the slave trade, a good, however eminent, 83,nt .irtest,,esh. should olf nenjsrgau eaNal:days not e o oroo t efntt:olls be a see tted o ihtri bsee;aepeo2i employed obtained leoheoyNAi this t opdnedur proceedings el da ll ol v ife: i scA s 4cli e rlacl: t cp7b h aottl a s.rhe n dNwt: ug y a ; nitlsye l ea si a ,l, : ea s art r na f no u mtdd l t thaih n j, et i eei e tosl: a tei partment to the Admiralty on the Gth April, the Ist d submit to the consideration of your Lordships that it is n suppressing the slave trade should be instructed to ab stain from destroying slave factories and carrying off persons held in slavery, unless the power upon whose territory or within whose jurisdiction the factory or the slaves are found should, by treaty with Great Bri tain, or by formal written agreement with British of ficers, have emp owere d h er Majesty's naval forces to take these steps for the suppression of the slave trade ; and that if, in proceeding to destroy any factory, it should he found to contain merchandise or other pro perty which there may be reason to suppose to belong, to foreign traders, care should be taken not to include such property in the destruction of the factory. - With respect to the blockading , rivers, it appears from the papers referred to that the terms blockade and blockading have been used by British naval officers, when adverting to the laudable practice of stationing cruisers off the slave-trading stations, with a view the better to intercept vessels carrying on slave trade, contrary to treaties between Great Britain and the Powers to which such vessels belong, But as the term blockade propotly used extends to an interdiction of all trade, and indeed all communi cation with the place Recliaded, I beg leave to submit for your Lordships' consideration, whether it will not he proper to caution her .Ifajpsty's naval officers upon this head, lest by the inadvertent and repeated use of the term blocka . de the exercise of the duty ,nnfided to British officers in suppressing slave might, by thea any aocnhei,al bi bec o o e n t f a o d.— t e m de l d , :w hp. i . t v. h e, t,b,ce7every different one of (Sign, Anntlruy.

ST, PETERSBURGII, OCT. 4.—On the 4th of August (perhaps the 16th) there was a dreadful fire in the town of Troitsk, in the Government of Orenburg. This town is celebrated for its extensive commercial intercourse with neighbouring Asiatic nations. The fire was caused by the long continued drought and the great heat, during which a dry west wind blew without interruption. The barracks, the Custom house, the school, the prison, and 246 private houses, were destroyed. The principal Greek church and two Mahometan mosques were much injured. The high wind, which filled the air with clouds of sand, made it impossible to save any effects or domestic animals, which fill a prey to the flames. Two separate subscriptions are set on,foot for the sufferers at Kasan ; one by the Philanthropic Society, the other on 'Change. The Philanthropic Society headed the first subscription with 8,000 silver rubles. The subscription on 'Change amounted yesterday to 94,000 rubles. The dreadful storm which raged on the 3d of Au gust, in almost the whole of the South East of Europe, the destructive effects of which were felt at The same time in teventt parts of Southern Russia, and Constantinople, in Galicia and 'Warsaw especially, did immense damage to the corn-fields, meadows, and ha bitations in the Governments of Cherson and Ekateri noslaf.

THE REFORM 'MOVEMENT. . - While the members of the Aberdeen Synod —men who have enjoyed the advantages of a liberal educa tion, and who hold, or oug ht t o h o ld, a high positi on in society—were indulging in stormy discussions and violent altercation=—the minority co nsigning th e majority, with ou t muc h apparent compunction, to eternal perdition, and both sides exhibiting, to some extent, a want of Christian forbearance and courteous feeling—Henry Vincent, a youth of 28 years of age —originally a printer's devil, and more recently re ported to he a vulgar, violent, and wicked Chartist —was expounding the principles of liberty, enforcing the excellence of morality, and illustrating the truth and beauty of Christianity in a series of dis courses, which, for sound ability, powerful eloquence, polished dicti on , tolerant spirit, and happy manner, have, we verily believe, never been equalled in this city. Any one who, like us, went from the West Church to the Temperance Hall, or the Dissentin Chapel, where th e Complete-Suffrage meetings we re g held, must have be en f orcibly struck with the con trast betwean the reverend wranglers—the paid advo cates of religion—and the lay lecturer on the rights and duties of the people —a contrast so h onoura bl e t o the latter and disgracef u l t o the former. The pains which M r . Vi ncent took to recommend to his audiences peace, moderation, and, above all, true tolerance for the opinions of others ought for ever to put down the calumnies that have been heaped on the cause of thorough Parliamentary Reform.—Aberdeen Herald. STATE OF -- - -- PAISLEY.—We can not e no particular change on this subject since our l as t publication. The finer de scriptions of goods con nected with the Paisley trade TRADE. continue as dull as ever; b u t great numbers of the workmen are turning th e i r h and to lighter, and plain work, so far as it can be obtained —and, we are sorry to state, weavers are so abundant, that webs of even this description can only be occasionally obtained as a personal favour. From the limited supply at the com mand of the Relief Committee, and the equally limited and indequate allowances given out by them to those in want,du b st r ions pe bornerivationsby and sufferings have at pre sent to hundreds and hundred s o families, which it is most appal ling to think of, and which it i s a s h a me t o th e . country should be permitted in it. To be deprived of food for one or two days at a time, is quite a common occurrence; and then, at the termination of that period, the pawning of the last shirt from the back, the last rag of blankets from the bed, or some other equally necessary article, in the means usually resorted to for satisfying the irresistible call of hunger. Many families, during the last ten days, have scraped up a meal or two from the gleanings of the potatoe fields ; and on Sabbath last, an eye witness informed us that he observed a respectable looking old woman engaged searching a field, near Meikleriggs, for such scraps of potatoes as the farmer had left behind,_G laygozo Sa turday Post. ehli'ete,eb`alr'rlier Stages OF MADAME DIARBLA.Y.— i ll j n E'o d Tl e Tu r En s llt t e a s nd , an entirely new field to (the fifth) i ' work h D e lA o ß p Y ens A , forthcoming N .e Of this delightful with almost all those the Diarist.

OLYMPIC THEATRE. A new farce, entitled A Scotch Mist, was produced at this theatre last evening. It is a piece de circon stance, anent the Royal visit to Scotland, and the sleepy Provost and mystified Corporation of Edin burgh, do not of course escape Scot free. The mystery of the plot consists in the mystification of Mistress M'Weazle (Mrs. Granby), an old Scotch lady, who has come to Edinburgh to see the Queen, and at the same time to marry her niece, Florence Mayland (Miss Lebatt), to her Highland cousin Rory M‘Nabb (Mr. Searle). She is completely mystified by the introduction to her notice of three Highlanders, each claiming to be the veritable Rory McNabb—Rory No. 1 being the young lady herself; Rory No. 2 being a certain Fre derick Manifold IMr. Fitzjames), whose pretensions are favoured by Florence ; and Rory No. 3 being the real Simon Pure. Miss Lebatt, as Rory No: 1, looked exceedingly well in her Highland costume, and sang a Scotch melody, " The heather for me," with such taste as to elicit a deserved encore. Rory No. 2 brings his mother, viz., Tim Towell, the waiter of the inn (capitally acted by Ross), diyguised in female attire and a Scotch dialect, to vouch for his M`Nabbistn, while Rory No. 3 brings a certificate of identity in the shape of a letter. The lovers are, of course, made happy, • but how that was accomplished we are unable exactly to explain, being, like Mrs. M'Weazle, in a Scotch mist on the subject. Its success also was somewhat misty. It would have puzzled the Speaker himself; with out a division, to have decided whether the Ayes or the Noes had it at the fall of the curtain. The farce was followed by a new burlesque entitled Norval, from the pen of Mr. Leman Rede, the suc cess of which, thanks to the irresistible drollery of G. Wild, as Young Norval, was most unequivocal. The tragedy of Douglas is certainly a most burlesque-in viting production, and it could not have fallen into better hands. The recognition scene was given in a style of the richest humour by Wild and Miss Lebatt, who was the Lady Randolph ; awl the song of sentiment, dance of joy, and jig of delight with which it concludes were loudly en cored. The Adventures of a Gentleman was the first piece, and bids fair to have a long run, and deservedly so ; it is a good tale well dramatized and excellently per - formed. The taste, the pathos, and the feeling displayed by Miss Lavinia Melville, in her touching delineation of the character of Gertrude Douglas, would secure a lengthened run for a piece of much less merit than the Adventures of a Gentleman. Wild's Job Johnson seems to get more and more unctuous the oftener he repeats the character. His glorious song, " The Life of a Vagabond," was encored as a matter of course. The house was exceedingly well filled.

They have had some interviews with Mr. Hardwick. the surveyor to the Dover harbour estates; and from what has transpired, it is conjec tured the station will occupy the site of Beech-street and Fisherman's-row, being the line from Archclitf Fort to Cheesman's Head ; and it appears to us a better situation for the terminus could not have been selected. It will be very convenienkto the harbour and pier, and perhaps the least expensive of any that could have been found suitable hr the purpose. — Dover Chronicle.

TILE TARIFF BEEF AND PORK.—Since our last publication, considerable excitement has been produced in the city- by importations of salted beef and pork, which have been retailed irt various plaCes at 4d. per pound. _Messrs. Westlake and Co., Fore-street-hill, were the first to •announce that they had a supply of " American pork and 'Hamburg beef, at 4d. per lb. ;" and on Saturday, particularly in the evening, after the artisans had received their wages, the shop VMS crowded with customers, to whom several hundreds of pounds weight of the imported meat were sold. We have seen some of the beef and pork—both were very good, and some of the- latter was exceedingly fine.

The mercantile letterS from Hamburgh, Frank fort, Leipsic, and other towns in Germany, have ere now fullyconvinced our friends at Bradford, Halifax, Keighley, and. the whole worsted dis trict, that the resolutions of the Congress of the German Commercial League, at Stuttgardt, were correctly announced by us in the Mercury of theist instant, and with fuller particulars i n that of the Bth instant. And now we venture to offer a caution to ex ' porters in this country, not to send large quanti ties of goods, of those kinds: on which the duty is to be raised, in hopes of .getting them within the German Custom-houses betbre the new duty comes into operatien. The Ist of January next is spoken of as the date at which the new tariff of the League will come into operation. But, though that may be the nominal date, yet we fear that a muck earlier period may be fixed, after which goods arriving will. be made subject to•special control, and the extra duty may pos sibly be levied on them afterwards. This is de clared to be probable,in . :a mercantile letter from a highly respectable house in Germany, which we shall quote below; and our English. houses might be great losers if they were not aware that there is such a probability. Of course, in offer ing this caution, we merely wish our merchants to make due inquiry before they commit them selves. The advices received by the principal mer cantile firms in Yorkshire and Lancashire, trading in worsted stuffs to Germany, concur, we believe, in representing that all jiiptred ( - roods, of worsted, or of worsted.and cotton mixed, will be subject to the augmented dhty, that is to 50 dollars per cwt. This is undoubtedly theinten tion ; and we are persuaded that this will be the effect. But it will be seen from the subjoi ne d . letter that in the resolutions of the Congress a word is used to express " figured" which is op en •to dispute. 4e word is " broeMrt" in its Ger man form, and " broche" in the French language, from which it has been recently adopted; the primary meaning of the word is " worked with the needle ;" but it is believed to have been used by the Congress to express the effiTt produced, that-is,figureS or patterns on the cloth, whether that effect be produced with the needle, or (by modern improvements in weaving) in the loom. On this point, as well as on the general subject, the following letter, received a few days since from a respectable mercantile house in one of the first towns of Germany, will be read with interest:— (From a Mercantile House in Germany.) " Our letters from Stuttgardt announce the follow ing changes in the tariff of the Zollverein : " ' Duty on Cotton Twist, To remain unchanged Worsted Yarns. as they are no*, with Linen Yarns, t the exception only of a All sorts of Cotton Goods, B .triflin g addition to th e Mixed with Silk, - duty on prepared Cot and Silk Goods; ton warps. _ __ " 6 Duty on Worsted, and Cotton and Worsted PLAIN. goods to remain unchanged ; but, unmilled Woollen (i. e. Worsted only) and Worsted Goods mixed with 'Cotton, IF PRINTED, EMBROIDERED, Or brOChe,' to pay 50 dollars a cwt. (equal to cotton goods, and next to prohibition), instead of the present duty of 30 dollars. " The labours of the Conference are finished, the thing is settled, and only a few formalities to be gone through previous to the publication. • " But what is or what will be understood by the French-German term' brochirt' or 6 brocke r—There is the rub 1 No doubt the intention is as vicious as possible, and comprises all figured and damasked goods of any description, and manufactured in any way, and the blow is aimed at your worsted, mohair, orleans, alpaca, parisians, figures, and conse quently at two-thirds, and perhaps more, of the busi ness doing now in your goods in this market for Ger man consumption. But, no, it is decidedly more than two-thirds, because merinos and Thibets are entirely done up, and plain orleans and lastings do not reach to one-third of the worsted stuffs on which duty is paid now;-the various descriptions of figures having all the -sway. 'Brochirt,' or brocke (the for mer being the German, and the latter the French term) is a most stupid and unfortunate term. In a general sense all figured goods (where a design is produced by weaving) may be called brochirt,' but there is no authority for that either, and the original and strictly technical meaning of the French term broche' is only one certain description of complicated. figure-weaving—viz., when, be s id es the plain warp and weft, exra threads of warp or weft are woven in to produce an effect that cannot be produced by one single row of warp or weft threads. All your various descriptions of figures are NOT',bro chirt.' Now all depends upon the question, whether the wiseacres in Stuttgardt have made up their minds as to the application of the word 'brochirt,' or whe ther it will remain undefined and open to all kinds of fraud, making the importers dependent on the defini tion that our Custom-house officers will please to adopt; till an end is put to all uncertainty by a new and better framing of the clause. " remains to be questioned whether, along with the publication of the resolutions'of the Zollrerein Congress, measures will not be taken to prevent any extensive importation of such figured goods under the old duty, perhaps making them liable to a special control from that day, and the extra duty to be levied on them . afterwards." It will be seen that the writer of the letter es timates the kinds of goods that will be affected by the new duties at two-thirds of all the worsted goods that are exported from England to Ger many. ~~ ~•`' e - -.
