In the National Assembly yesterday the debate on the vote of censure on the Ministers commenced, but had not concluded when the post left. 'We read in the Pays—" The President of the Re public has received from several members of the As sembly, who hitherto have shown themselves hostile to his person, marks of sympathy which have sensibly e fected him. Some of these representatives have been to him to assure him that the hostility of the Assembly would calm down. The President replied with much sangfroid, 'lf the Assembly has any fears for its sefety, it can protect itself by any number of troops that it pleases, and give the command of them to the General of the Chamber. But from the moment when the Assembly shall have placed itself in a state of hostility to the chief of the Executive Government, I will respond to it by an act of confidence and re conciliation. I will send away from the Elysee every guard aad every sentinel, and will confide myself to the protection of the population of Paris." 3,591 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1851. Cotton Piece Goods—Grey Shirtings—ln our last curanaary we reported that the feeling for the lower qua lities, say 48 to 60 reeds, was still unfav„uratle. This, coupled with the eagerness which holders displayed as already mentioned, led to a decline of about la. to 2a. I per piece on some inferior made goods. The better sorts of all reels have maintained their position, and, generally speaking, we do not see reason to disturb previous quo tations. The transactions last month have been nearly equal to those of October, embracing all qualities; but the imports have been somewhat in excess. This month's sales already have been very extensive, one transaction alone amounting to 40,350 pieces, chiefly of 54 and 66, with a quantity cf 72 reeds. White shirtings sold to a fair extent last month with reference to the transaction in October; a large portion of the sales, however, embraced the heavier reeds suita ble for winter consumption. Prices on the whole have fluctuated a little, rising in some instances and falling in others, according to the make and finish of the goods. We are therefore obliged to lower our quotations gene rally to a trifling amount. White figured shirtings have become very dull as the stock in second hands still hangs heavy, and notwith standing the extreme lightness of the supply, priceshave given way fully 4 annas per piece on those that were cur rent when the last mail left. Grey Jacconets—ln our last summary we mentioned that in consequence of the frequent interruption of bu siness by native holidays the sales of this fabric had been limited ; but since then increased activity in the demand, particularly for the lower qualities, has led to large transactions, making the entire quantity placed last month nearly double the sales of the preceding month. The supply also has not been excessive, still we have not noticed any ehange in value, which con tinues the same as before. White Jacconets—The transactions in this fabric last month were upon nearly the same scale as in the pre ceding month, and the demand continues very fair, but the somewhat ready manner in which holders have been bringing forward s:ock, coupled with the heavy imports, have had the effect of causing a decline of about 2a. per piece on all qualities. White Cambrics—The moderate arrivals of this fabric has induced buyers to give it increased attention, and the sales last month were considerably in excess of those which took place in October, still prices have undergone no alteration. Gray Madapolams were imported largely last month, but the demand on the cther hand continued steady; a fair amount of sales were effected at previous prices. White Madapolams come under the same observations as the preceding article. The arrivals last month were considerably larger than in October; but the sales at the same time were comparatively extensive. The stocks however, are ample, and ieep prices down. White mulls have coma into very active demand, and although the bulk of the sales last month consisted of the better descriptions far the supply of the up-country spring trade, the lower qualities have been sought after latterly, as the Caubul dealers have commenced making their appearance, and prices have experienced a further improvement notwithstanding the amplitude of the sup ply. The transactions last month were nearly three times as extensive as they were in October, and pro mise to be much larger during the present month. White twills sold to a larger extent last month than in the month before, but the supply at the same time having been excessive, prices have a downward ten dency, although we cannot as yet alter previous quota tions. Book Muslims have been freely imported of late; but the demand is improving, and the sales last month were considerable, in some instances at an improvement of about 6 pis per piece on the favourite tickets. This month the transactions have already been very large, and if they continue on the same scale, the market will soon be left without stock in first hands. The advices from Rangoon are much the same as before, in regard to the restrictive measures of the Burmese authorities against the exportation of silver; but for books they are somewhat better. Lappets—The demand for these goods is daily be coming more active, and the transactions last month were extensive in comparison to those which took place in October; but the imports r on the other hand, being also very heavy, prices have been prevented from experiencing a more material improvement, although the stock before the recent arrivals was very moderate, particularly of Spot, which has formed the bulk of the sales. Assorted has been taken, but upon comparatively a limited scale. They will, however, be more largely wanted now that the Caubul dealers have commenced arriving, and we hope to see a further advance in the price of all descrip tions before long. Chintzes—The stocks of all kinds of chintz continue small; but the demand for up-country has not been so active lately as before; for Calcutta consumption, how ever, the inquiry has been steady, particularly for neu tral setts and stripes, the prices of which have advanced to the extent of 4 to 5 and 1 to 2 annas per piece res pectively. Transactions on the whole were limited last month, but the supply at the same time was also short to some extent. Cambric chintz has been selling mode rately, and in furniture chintz there was a very small business done, as it was very scarce. Bengal setts and stripes have not altered in value, but neutral pines seem to be lower. Woollens have continued in steady demand, but the transactions on the whole were limited last month, as compared with those in October, and the imports being heavy, prices have been kept down. We quote them at Co.'s as. 11 to Co.'s rs. 1 per yard for low; Co.'s ra. 1-4 to 2 for middling; and Co.'s rs. 2-4 to 2-12 for fine. There have been some few sales also of the superfine qualities at prices ranging from Co.'s rs. 3 to 4 per yard. Flannels have been selling upon a fair scale, but prices have not undergone any alteration, and may be qucted as before. Say for low Co.'s as. 8 to 10 per yard; middling Co.'s as. 12 to 14; fine Co.'s rs. 1 to 1-4. Turkey Red Goods continue to occupy a very favour able position and stocks of Turkey red twills and cloths remain very light. Of the former the sales have been upen a fair scale, and the demand is still active, par ticularly for 8-4 widths. In the latter the business last month was not quite so extensive as in October, but prices are very firm, and as holders seem perfectly sen sible of the importance of not pressing sales, we are not without hopes of seeing an improvement in the value of both twills and cloth before long. Turkey Red Garments have undergone little change, being in good demand, but stocks being very light, sales to a small amount only are reported to have taken place last month, at former prices of Co.'s as. 4 to 6 per yard for 7.8 red grounds. 9-8 s and black grounds are not in the market. 6-4 Turkey Red Printed Malls have improved both in demand and value, and the transactions that took place last month show an advance of 4 annas per piece, bring ing:our quotations up to Co.'s rs, 5-12 to 7-12 per piece of 20 yards. This improvement we attribute to the scarcity of Turkey Red Garments. have seen far more extensive transactions, notwithstand ing the high prices and the high rates of exchange, and th,.; comptive .lialculty Gt . D . .;af-ft shipment, unless drawn by, and upon, parties of known respectability and substance. Latterly three has been Itss inclination to purchase, but this is always the case when people are in the expectancy of an in-coming mail, and aro busy with an out-going one, The interval be tween the arrival of the Bombay express, which only brought a few general letters, and the arrival of the Haddington, which had all the private correspondence of the merchants, has been unusually great on the pre sent occasion—full three days, during which, of course, shippers remained in suspense. PRODUCE. Sugar has continued to be an object of great attrac• tion, but in consequence of a great paucity of supply, the shipments last month to Great Britain show a deficiency of 16,477 maunds, as compared with those in October. Benares qualities have been greatly wanted, but the arrivals have been so scanty, that they have not been able to keep up a stock of more than about five thousand bags sound in the bazaar for the past three weeks. The consequence has been that small parcels of really good white have been taken off with eagerness at high prices, the moment they have been placed on the market. There has hardly been any of first quality available; but third and fourth have been comparatively more abundant, and have also been taken with much spirit at extreme figures. In this scarcity of Benares, the attention of shippers has been to a considerable de gree directed to Doma which has commenced arriving, and to Gurputty, and some business has been done in them, but the supply of these has also been wholly in adequate to the demand. The price of the former has advanced about 6a. per maund for the better qualities; the latter remains much the same as before. We have not heard of any extensive operations in Khaur. Vacuum Pan—The demand for this class of sugar has throughout been most animated at an advance of 6 to 8 annas per maund, and this to on an advancing exchange. This great confidence displayed by buyers would appear to be warranted from the very excellent position of the article in the home market ; and looking at the fact that the export of grainy sugar this year falls conside rably below an average, it is more than likely that the result will justify present comparatively high prices. Saltpetre—ln consequence of the existing scarcity of sugar, this article has commanded a large share of the attention of speculators; and although latterly there has not been much done on English account, the transac tions previously were extensive, and the shipments of the last month show an excess of 41,728 maunds over those of October. For France and America there has also been a large business done, particularly on the latter ac count. Chuprah and Allygunge have been taken most, and only a small quantity of other descriptions, but all at about former prices with one or two exceptions, in which an advance is visible. Whilst on the subject of saltpetre we may mention that the mail just arrived has brought intelligence that some supplies of the article had arrived in Liverpool from Boston, United States, in October, and more was expected in consequence of the glutted state of the American markets from the immense quantities that have gone forward from this for some time past. This will no doubt interfere with the direct shipment from this to England and disarrange the calculations of importers at home. This year, from Ist May last to the end of Oc tober, the exports have amounted to 77,053 maunds. Rice—The business done in this article last month has been upon very nearly the same scale as before. It would have been in all probability much larger, as there was an active speculative demand for the article before the mail arrived; but the supply has been very limited, and has consisted almost entirely of inferior qualities. Prices remain without change. Raw Silk has continued in most spirited demand; but the absence of anything like desirable qualities has ()prated greatly against purchases, and the shipments last month were a little more than one-third of those in October. 6-4 Dyed Mulls have also been in better request, but their price has experienced no advance, and may be quoted as before at Company's rupees 5-8 to 6 per piece of 20 yards. Turkey Red Figured Cloth continues in muoh the same position as before, and has been selling occa sionally at former prices of Company's as. 4-3 to 4-6 per yard for 7-8, and Company's as. 6-6 to 5-9 per yard for 9S. The imports are very trifling. Bandanoe Handkerchiefs are worth nominally Com pany's rs. 1.13 to 1-14 per dozen. METALS. Iron—The demand for this metal has fallen off ma terially of late, as the transit of heavy articles to the in terior by country boats has become difficult and tedious by the closing of the Bhaugeerutty. The imports too have been very heavy, and prices, under the influence of h e given way to the ex t en t o f 2 a . to 4 s :. percircumstances, maund on have e a r l y all descriptions, except,hoops, t n which, being much wanted for the securing of indigo chests, and Government having advertised for tenders for their supply for upwards of 30,000 chests of opium of the ensuing season, have risen nearly Ir. per maund on previous quotations. Steel has declined about 4 annas per maund, and is not worth more than Co.'s rs. 7 to 7-4 per factory maund. Silk Corahs—Tho transactions in these goods were likewise limited from the same cause which operated in restricting the purchases of the preceding article, namely, the absence of the finer qualities. The demand is very active, and prices remain unaltered. Oil Seeds have been taken extensively, and the ship• meets of last month exceed those of October materially, but prices have undergone no alteration. Shell Lac and Lac llye—Several parcels of both ar ticles having arrived, transactions to a f a i r ex t en t have taken place, particularly in the former, but at prices that show no variation from previous quotations. We have not heard of any sales of the known European marks, but we believe there has been some business done in them, which has not come to our knowledge. Safflower has been in good demand, but the absence of the finer descriptions has kept transactions within very narrow limits; prices are much the same as before, but for several kinds they are almost nominal, as there has been no supply of such in the market. Jute—Notwithstanding the rather unfavourable posi tion of the home market, a slight decline in price led to extensive transactions last month, at Company's rupees 10 to 11 per bale, according to quality. Hides—A large business has been done in this article, consisting principally of slaughtered and dead green cow, and some dead green buffalo at previous prices. Cotton has continued in active demand for the China market, and the supply having become more abundant, several large transactions have been reported. We heard of no transactions in Agra or Cutchera. Opium—ln consequence of the gambling transactions that are going on amongst the Marwaree speculators, the market is rather in an uncertrin state, and flactu. ates three or four times a day, rising in one instance and falling in another, but not to any groat extent. The object is obviously to force prices up. The pre sent quotations are as near as possible for Patna, Com pany's rupees 984 to 985 per chest; Bonares, nominally, Company's rupees 990. Bargains for the next sale have been made at Company's rupees 984 to 985 per chest. Copper,having experienced a further decline, the trans actions last month were larger than those in October, whilst imports were comparatively less extensive.. With the exception of Japan, which remains the same as before, and nails, which are scarce and high, all other kinds are from 8 annas to 1 rupee lower than they were when the last mail left. Indigo—The season has fairly opened, bat as yet the greater part of the sales have been effected by private contract, taking into account, of course, the largo quan tity sold in October. The first public sale of the season took place on Mon day, the 2d inst. The second was held yesterday after noon, and on both these occasions 1,055 chests (the whole quantity offered) were disposed of with great spirit at an advance of fully 5 rupees per maund. The third sale will take place on Monday next, at the New Mart, and the fourth on Tuesday, at the Old Mint Mart, but the quantity to be offered at each sale has not yet been declared. In the meantime we may remark that we have heard of offers having been made for the only large parcel of fine indigo that is now available, and should not be sur prised to find they are accepted before the departure of the Express. The market has an upward tendency, and there is every probability of a further advance if the txchango becomes easier, as the French have scarcely made any purchases yet, for until the receipt of the steamer's letters yesterday they wore without orders. Exports of indigo last month :—To Great Britain, 575 chests or 1,884 cads.; North America, 10 chests or 26 mds. Freights—Tee rates continued unaltered for some days after the departure of the last mail, but business alto gether was evidently slack; subsequently, however, the growing scarcity of country produce caused a material check in shipments, and the freight on sugar to Liver pool declined to the extent of 2s. 6d per cwt. For seeds the demand for tonnage remained good; indeed, at the commencement of the month an advance of 2s. 6d. was established on this article to London. On the arrival of the Express, consignees made a stand for higher rates on sugar to both ports, but they have been unsuccessful as yet in securing any advance, and on the whole the rates to-day are from 2-6 to 5 per ton under those cur rent when the last mail left, bringing our quotations down to 21. 17s. 6d. for sugar to London, and 31. to Liverpool; saltpetre 2/. 12s. 6d. to London, and 21. 17s. 6d. to Liverpool, and other articles in proportion. For detailed particulars we refer to our freight list in the usual place. Exchange—The market for the present Mail opened at 2.2 i per company's rupee for credit, and 2-2 i for do cument bills ; but on the receipt of the news by the Express, of a large amount of funds coming out in Company's drafts and bullion, drawers became more firm, and the business closed yesterday at an to a below these quotations. Bank post-bills have sold at 2-1 i to to 2-4 i, according to amount. On China some draughts have been negotiated at 223 to 225 per 100 dollars, and bills very scarce. Spelter is beginning to feel a re-action, and although the imports lAst month were heavy, sales have been effectedat Co.'s rs. 6 la. per factory mannd under the in fluence of diminished supplies of China brass coin. Tin Plates of the lighter kinds have declined to the extent of about 2r. per box, whilst the heavy have be come scarce and dear. CHINA MARKE TS. (From the Overland Friend of China, Nov. 28.) IMPORTS.

Our market for country produce has continued to pre sent the most animated aspect under the influence of the accounts that have been received from home for some time by each succeeding mail of the progressive advance in the value of most of our leading articles of export. The advicos just received to the 24th of October are of a still more favourable character, as they represent the existence of a variety of circumstances that have tended greatly to lessen the doubts we had entertained of the stability and continuance of the improvements that have been going on. We have already stated that the pros pects of the harvest, and of the abundance and cheapness of food, were no longer involved in uncertainty, whilst an increase of consumption of colonial products was calculated upon with confidence, from the fact that our operatives were in fall employment; that our mills and looms in M anc h ester, an d ot h er manufacturing districts were in active operation, and that money was daily be coming more plentiful, and discounts were low. To those primary elements of a prosperous trade, we have to add the deficiency o f t h e supply, which, i n the instance of several important staples, was below that of several preceding years, and mould most certainly operate in preventing large quantities being pressed on the market. The transactions here, however, have been in some mea sure checked by the denuded state of our bazaar, where, with the solitary exception of saltpetre, the stocks h ave not only been sma ll , but they have consisted principally of . qualities that h ave afforded the speculator but a poor field tor selection; but at this season of the year more abundant supplies could hardly be expected. Had it not been fur this circumstance, we should moot certainly Canton, Nov. 26.—The scarcity of money, and high rates of exchange, have had the effect of checking an otherwise favourable market; in the early part of the month unfavourable news from the disturbed districts had also a prejudicial effect. Shanghae, Nov. 13.—The high rate of exchange has here induced large sales of imports at low prices, in order to avail of the favourable remittance; and the scarcity of money has been a further inducement to diminish stock in first hands. At Amoy, November 13, a fair credit business had been done during the month. Gray Shirtings, Canton —Sales have been effected to the extent of 40,000 pieces at the following rates:- 64 reeds weighing 81 to 8i lbs. $2,45 to $2,55 66 „ 81 to 9 „ 2,60 to 2,70 70 to 72 reeds 9i to 94 , 2,85 to 3 At Shanghae—Sal es h a d reached to 85,000 pieces at, say— _ 51 catties $1,95-6 oatties $2,10 64 „ 2,20-6 fr „ 2,28 7 „ 2,50-7 i At Amoy-6,500 pieces of 64 r ee d s had found sale at 2 dolls. 40 c. per picee, five months' credit.

The Weser Zeitung says :—We are enabled to com municate the plan of M. Von Bruck, and the manner in which it is proposed to carry it into execution. The Austrian industrials have declared themselves in favour of the same Zoll tariff (with small modifications only) which in Cassel was approved of by the whole Zollverein Congress, with the exception of Brunswick. On this footing the Vienna Cabinet is ready to treat, if Prussia be thereto disposed; and if not, Aus trian Commissioners will be deputed to attend the Zollverein Congress to be held in Dresden on the Ist of Febivary next. The plan is as follows :—The three commercial districts (Handelsgebrete) should by compact form one commercial verein, which should adopt the above described tariff system for its entire circumscription. Simultaneously with this equa lization of the tariffs, all transit duties should bs removed from raw materials of every sort on the frontiers of Austria. On the other side, Austria demands the introduction of a tobacco monopoly by all the other German Governments. This compact should be concluded for six years, with the prospect, at the end of that time, of a complete union. During these six years a careful control should be established on the boundaries of the three commercial districts over the import as well as consumption of foreign goods in the separate states, so that it might be pos sible to calculate exactly the customs' income of every . state. The complete union would be stipulated for 12 years. Austria calculates that the North Sea States will be won over to this plan,by the great market the abolition of transit duties will procure them; and Bavaria, Saxony, and the Silesian provinces, by the facilitation of the frontier trade. Austria hopes by this plan to turn to account her natural productions, particularly in Hungary, so to get out of her own financial difficulties, and to force Prussia to abandon the 'vantage ground her Zollverein position gives her. SCHLEsWIG-HOLSTEIN The Stadtholders have addressed the following pro clamation to the army : " The Commissioners, which the Great Powers of Germany have in the name of the Germanic Con federation sent to this country, have undertaken to execute the treaty of peace of the 2d July, and at the same time to protect (zuwahren) the rights and interests of the country of Holst?in and its an cient connexion with the Duchy of Schleswig. In consequence of this, the Statholders have decreed the cessation of hostilities. The Danish army will retreat, and only that number of troops which is sufficient for the maintenance of tranquillity and order will be left in Schleswig. The Schleswig-Holstein army will remain in possession of Rendsburg and Friedrichsort, and the territories which belong to these fortresses. The rest of the army will retreat across the Eyder, where they will go into cantonments. Two-thirds of the troops will be dismissed on leave. " The staff of the regiments will remain, and these will guard the arms, uniforms, and accoutrements. " The Stadtholders trust that the army, having given such glorious proofs of its gallantry and honourable per severance, will continue in order and discipline, and thus insure the respect and the gratitude of the country. " The Stadtholders of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. " REVENTLOW, " KROHN. " Kiel, Jan. 11," The Borsenhalle states from Kiel that the Austrian troops will not enter Holstein unless public order and tranquillity be endangered by riotous proceed ing or assemblies. A Berlin correspondent of the Rainer Zeitung states that the Austrian and Prussian troops, which were progressing towards the Holstein frontier, have received orders to discontinue their march. INDIA AND CHINA. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Commercial and Shipping Gazette.) CALCUTTA, DEC. 7. IMPORTS. Onr last overland summary was dated the 21st ult. Here we have not noticed the occurrence of any cir cumstance since the departure of the last mail calculated to produce any remarkable change in our market for cotton goods. The weather has undergone no alteration for the worse as regards its influence on the grain crops, which are now being reaped in most of the districts in Bengal, and the harvest promises to be a plentiful one. The only trifling drawback to a state of complete pros perity is, perhaps, the slight pressure that has been re cently experienced in our monetary system; but we are not aware that discounts in the bazaar have risen to any extent. The accounts for piece] goods from Mirzapore, and other great inland marts, are still favourable, and although we are now advancing into what is usually termed our dull season, we have not yet seen any important falling off in the demand ; whilst stocks remain in several cases moderate, in others not beyond a sufficiency, and in one or two instances only can they be called heavy. Under these circumstances, and keeping in view the unquestionable certainty of the future supply being at higher cost from the great steadi ness in the price of cotton at home we still think that by ordinary resolution on the part o f ? importers the winter may be got over without any material decline in the value of our leading staples. About a week or ten days ago they displayed some eagerness to realize in order to take advantage of the favourable exchange in investing the proceeds, and the dealers became somewhat reserved, and the feeling for the lower qualities of two or three of our leading staples became less fovourable. This, how ever, was productive of no reduction fn prices, except in one or two instances, and transacticns have since con tinned upon a fair scale. The business of the whole of last month was nearly to the same extent as that in October. Grey and white shirtings were taken to an average amount, but at a slight decline for grey. Jacconets sold largely, but white jacconets changed hands to nearly the same extent as in the preceding month. White carabrics have met with better inquiry. Grey and white made pollams have also commanded increased attention since tho departure of last mail. White mulls have been sought after with considerable spirit, and the sales last month were greatly in excess of those which took place in October. White twills and white figured shirtings have been dull. Book muslins have been steadier, and are slightly higher in value. Lappets of all denomina tions have improved in demand and price, and found purchasers to a large amount last month. Chintzes of all kinds continue scarce and mach wanted, particularly neutral setts and stripes. Woollens have been selling steadily. Flannels aro light of stock, and in good de. mend. Turkey red goods have been firmly held, and the supply is light. The metal market has been unsteady, and iron of nearly all descriptions is lower than before. Copper has also declined to some extent. Speltzer, however, is in a somewhat better position. Twist has continued in the most animated demand, and the sales last month were again in excess of the im ports. We reported in our last summary the success which attended the efforts of holders in sustaining the value of the higher counts by declining to sell the lower unless assorted with them. By this judicious means, the stocks of the finer numbers have been materially re duced, and the supply at the same time having been trifling, the demand for them has revived to some ex tent, and we are happy to have it in our power to com municate an improvement in prices of 2 to 3 pie per morah :on 80s, 1-to 3 pie on 905., and 1 pie on 100 s, as compared with the currency when the last mail left. Of the lower counts 70s have experienced the greatest ad vance, say about r to 6 1-3 pie per morah ; on 60s the rise has been limited to pie per morah; 50s and 30s remain the same as before ; but 40s and 20s have bene fited to the extent of 2to 3 pie per morah. The stock in first and second hands is variously estimated; but we still set it down at 3,000 bales. Indeed we do not see how it can be more, having before us the fact that the sales for some months past have either been fully equal to, or in excess of, thej imports. As in the case of piece goods holders of yarn displayed some anxiety to realize about a week or ten days ago, and dealers, taking advan tage of the same, made every exertion to force prices down, but stocks proved too light for them, and their endeavours were signally defeated. Even now they try to disguise their real wants under the semblance of reserve, but im porters seem fully cognizant of this mask, and are by no means inclined to submit to the slightest reduction. This is as it should be, and when we take into consideration the proofs we have lately offered that the arrivals in all this month cannot by any possibility exceed 1,072 bales, holders sales of continue last m mont h n firm.th were W larger g h er av t and in January 1,496 b a l es, we th i n k there is not the e ha a n lr t e h a e already stated slightest gro un d to ' apprehend a depression, provided that always the still they were c ons id era bl y short of the actual consump tion of the market, which may be estimated at 2,500 bales per month. This arose from the smallness of stock and the inadequacy of the imports. Turkey Red Yarns—The imports of this staple were very heavy last month, and stocks have increased to about 500 hales in first and second bands, but the late decline in prices has led to a fair amount of transactions —nothing, however, in proportion to the su ppl y . G era man dy e has experienced a greater decline than En g li s h, which has occupied a steadier position. The material accession to the stock alters the prospect of the market, and, instead of cherishing the hope of a reaction as be fore, we now begin to apprehend an opposite turn. Coloured Yarns—ln orange there has been consider ably more done since the last mail left than might have been expected from the dulness under which it had been labouring, and prices have been upheld. Green, also, has changed hands upon a somewhat large scale, which has cleared the market of the lower qualities, and there is none remaining of the kind that sold a fortnight ago at Cy'a. as. 12-$ to 12-9,
