This colour, unusual at so early a period as the Ist of Sep tember, became more and more marked, and at length at tracted sufficient attention to induce the farmer to examine the " tubers" or " roots." To the no small surprise of those who had viewed the changes in the tops or " shaw," as the result of a sharp frosty night, the potatoes were found dis coloured on the surface—soft and friable ip places, and the interior much changed in colour wherever the disease had manifested itself. Examining furrow after furrow, as some had done, where the tops showed the withered appearance, and finding the same untoward condition of the " roots," the greatest alarm has been caused amongst those who have the misfortune to possess such crops, and this alarm, we need hardly add, has taken possession of the purchasers.—Carlisle Journal. FIELD LABOURERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Witnessing the conclusion of a most bountiful har vest, my attention has been called to the state of the field labourers in harvesting the allotments of their half acre, quarter of an acre, and some few from one to three acres. Their little ricks of corn, safely gathered, the spade is immediately at work, women and children busily engaged in getting potatoes and beans. Hundreds of families here have allotments. All hands are employed. Viewing the country from a fine eminence, it looked like a terrestrial paradise, but seeing no labourers' cottages, asked where are the poor workmen ? One said, driven into towns or large villages, sleeping four or five in a bed. The Duke, said the man, would build us cottages, but great objections are made by the farmers, who are afraid of having too many of us, and cannot allow us to get a little food and comfort. Three hundred labourers left here for Australia a few years ago ; they blessed the day that caused them to go, where land could be had. Meeting the Rev. Mr. Hawkesley, of Souldrop, he told me he had fifty tenants ; the Rev. Mr. Thornton, of this parish, the same; John Gibbard, Esq., the same, and many others.—Yours, &c., MATTHEW PHILLIPS. Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, Sept. 24, 1845. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 20th of September, was 23f. 15c., and that of rye 15f. 78c. The general discussion ofthe project of law relative to corn, &c., was opened in the Senate to-day, and closed in the same sitting. The Senate will proceed to •morrow with the dis cussion of the articles. The report presented by the Duke d'Ursel, in the name of the Committee charged with the examination of the law, shows that the members of the Com mittee unanimously approve it. The discussion cammenced immediately after the reading of the report. As in the Chamber of Representatives several members dwelt on the necessity of executing the public works already decreed, the discussion was well supported, but did not go into any details which have not already been the subject of observation in the other Chamber. The Senate will likewise proceed to the project of law for a vote of credit to finish the works of the Canal of Campine. This morning, at eight o ' clock, a salute of twenty-one guns, fired by the artillery of the civic guard, and the ringing of the bells of all the churches of the capital, announced the solemnity of the first day of the anniversary of September. The Gazette of Aix-la-Chapelle announces that the King of Prussia has consented to the construction of the railway from Aix-la-Chapelle to Dusseldorf by way of Herzogenrath and Gludbach. The King has also consented to a line from Cre velt to Ruhrart, and to that from Maestricht to Aix-la- Chapelle. Besides the importance of these new lines to the manufactories and trade of that part of the Rhenish pro vinces, the works will provide employment during the winter to many families, who will thus be secured against want. For these two reasons we owe much gratitude to the King for having granted these measures at this moment. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bausszt,s, SErr. 24. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent ....

COACH ACCIDENT.—NARROW ESCAPE. —A few evenings ago an accident took place between the towns of Watford and Harpenden, by the upsetting of a coach which had nearly proved of serious consequences to a number of passengers. It appears that about eight o'clock the Beehive pair-horse coach, belonging to Messrs. Bryant and Seymour, had taken up a number of passengers at the Watford sta tion of the London and Birmingham Railway, to proceed to St. Alban's and Luton, and had arrived between Harpen den and the latter, when the coachman, in carelessly and negligently taking too wide a turn to pass a cart, ran the coach upon a bank, which caused it instantly- to upset, and nine outside passengers were thrown on the road with great violence. Fortunately there were no fractures or broken limbs, but two of the passengers, a lady and a gentleman, Mr. Baldwin (of the respectable firm of Baldwin and Aders, of Bishopsgate-churchyard), were seriously bruised by the fall ; however, not so much so as to prevent their proceeding on their journey. Mr. Baldwin was, however, so much bruised and shaken, that he was obliged to keep his bed for three days, but is now nearly recovered. It is his impression, from the night being moonlight and fine, that much blame is attributable to the coachman, whose name it appears is Reeves. _ _ POISONING BY COPPER.—At the present season, when preserving operations are usually in active practice, it may not be amiss to notice a subject adverted to at Guy's Hospital by Mr. Alfred Taylor, who in the course of his discourse observed upon the reprehensible practice of using poisonous substances in the manufacture of preserves. The lecturer observed that "itis a common practice for people to colour their preserved green fruits by adding to them a quantity of the sulphate or the acetate of copper, and the presence of either may easily be tested by introducing into it a needle, which' in a very short time will be coated with metallic copper. Copper may also be detected in such substances by galvanism by aid of a platina capsule and a piece of zinc." In respect ofusing copper vessels for culinary purposes, he observes that " these vessels are liable to become impregnated with the poison, and if common salt be pre sent, the chloride of copper is readily formed. But there is this important fact to be considered—any liquid boiled in copper vessels is only liable to be poisoned if it is allowed to cool in them, otherwise no injury is created. Copper utensils are sometimes lined with tin, but it is far better to keep them untinued for this season, unless they be well tinned and kept in a proper condition ; if a portion of the surface of the copper becomes exposed, the tin and the copper together will excite a galvanic action, and any acid liquid will displace - the salts of the copper formed. If soups be boiled in copper vessels, it is necessary, in order to prevent any accident, to pour the soup out while hot, and allow it to cool in another vessel." THE GRAND LONDON AND DUBLIN APPROXIMA noN RAILWAT.—The project of forming a direct railway communication from London to Holyhead is not altogether new, but it has hitherto been considered to be so surrounded by difficulties, that it has been deemed all but impracticable. At no period, however, were men's minds so determinately set upon overcoming difficulties (physical as well as moral) as the present. The undertaking for uniting the two capitals, which is now contemplated, could not have been submitted to the public at a more favourable moment. The map that has been published to accompany the pros pectus, indicates very clearly the proposed line of route, and shows the great saving that will be effected in 11.1 e distance from one metropolis to the other. It not less evidently demonstrates the numerous other advantages which will result from the adoption of this grand and noble scheme. From the intercourse which has already taken place between the two countries in consequence of the great works commenced in Ireland, and that which is certain to take place from those in projection, we feel fully justified in the belief that the shareholders in this railway will derive a far larger profit from their investments than from any other line in the kingdom. The Government alone will avail themselves of this railway as a vehicle for the transmission to Ireland of troops and military stores. Merchants and travellers of every description will select it as a route by far the most con venient in every point of view, whether regarded as to cheapness, distance, or expedition. The rich and populous counties through which it will pass will have a direct inte rest in promoting it to the utmost of their power, as they will derive a corresponding advantage from its immediate con nexion with the metropolis. We cannot conclude these ob servations without expressing a sincere hope that the Directors will listen to no remonstrance or persuasion that would induce them to abandon that independency of character which they have thought it right to assume from any apprehension of the powerful opposition they may meet with from different com panies, and be thereby prevailed upon to unite themselves with interests which would at once mar the integrity of the scheme. They may be assured that so long as they hold out such certain prospects of advantage as this line offers to the public, they will receive, as they are well entitled to do, public support and confidence, and we do net hesitate to say that the sanction of the Legislature will be obtained, not withstanding the most fActious opposition to a scheme fraught with such manifest advantages to the nation at large. The shareholders will then have no reason to repent their having lent their aid in furtherance of a great national un dertaking, and we fearlessly anticipate the period, perhaps not far distant, when this Company will become one of the most powerful and lucrative associations in the kingdom. OLDHAM.---THE FACTORY HANDS AND THEIR Em- PLOYERS. —We are glad to hear that the factory hands of this town have invited their employers to a tea-party and ball, the object of which they state in their address to be, "to return to them their most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the liberal manner in which they have acceded to their re quest for an advance of wages." The festival is fixed for Monday next, and the operatives request the favour of a half holiday on that day. We trust that the effect of this meet ing may be to cement the good feeling which now exists be tween masters and men.—Manchester Guardian. PULMONARY CONSUMPTION.—From the fourth an nual report of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, the following statistical facts may be gathered;—" Of the 60.000 deaths which annually occur in England and Wales from slow and lingering disease, upwards of 35,000 are due to pulmonary consumption ; and as the duration of the disease, taking one with another, is about two years, it follows that more than 70,000 per. sons are constantly suffering from consumption.' It may be well to add that many, very many, of these poor sufferers are the acknow ledged victims of unventilated workshops, ill-constructed dwellings, long hours of work, and the want of open places for exercise and recreation. The new hospital for consumption, dm., now in the course of erection at Brompton, by those extensive builders the Messrs. Bird, of Hammersmith, will be opened for the reception of patients early in the forthcoming spring. GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—These few days past this market continues very animated, with an upward tendency in prices. Sales have been made at 85s. nett cash. At this price holders are very firm, and few disposed to accent of it. Contracts have been offered to the makers for large quantities at 80s. nett cash—say immediate payment for future delivery—which has been refused, their demands being 90s. per ton. We quote the prices of to-day as 87s. fd. nett cash, although a few small parcels may be picked up at 85s. nett.:—Glasgow National of Wednesday .i 4 . • '4 7 :1 .. ~ .

The quantity announced for public competition on the 7th of October has been increased to 17,989 chests. SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough submitting to rather lower rates has occasioned a good business to be transacted privately.

Seal has been pur chased with caution, and prices are drooping,. The business transacted in Cod has been trifling; and prices downwards. Sperm Oil is not so much in request, but full rates are insisted upon. Although Linseed Oil can be purchased 6d per cwt under previous rates, still the demand from the home trade continues to be limited; there are few ex port purchasers, and the contracts entered into for forward delivery have been trifling. Rape Oil has been sold to some extent. Palm is wanted, and prices rule firm. For Cocoa Nut late rates are asked, but there has been less doing privately. Olive Oil has been in good demand, and holders show firmness.

It was with the greatest satisfaction that we learnt of the renewal for the rest of the present and the whole of the en suing year, of the convention between the banks and mer chants to receive the Sicilian dollar at 4s. 2d., and also the Maria Theresa dollar at the same rate, and the Spanish dollar , at 4s. 4d. We hail this measure as an example of uniformity of action between the British and native merchants, which we trust will be followed in future on all similar occasions, whence no little good must result to this community. We hail it as a proof that the bank committees know far better what is bene ficial to these inhabitants, even in regard to so extended, complicated, and widely-ramified a subject as that of the currency of the island, than my Lord Stanley with all his under-secretaries. We had it as a legal act of self-defence against.a Ministerial act of spoliation, adopted in a manner to convince the Minister that there are men in this colony, as well as at home, who have the courage constitutionally to resist acts of robbery which at home would not be suffered for a moment. But above all do we hail it as a conclusive proof that this island can never be well governed until it enjoys a real Council of Government, effectively representing the in habitants, and actuated by a sense of what the public good requires. Neither would such a council be wanting here for any length of time. were the English to join with the Maltese in endeavouring to obtain it ; for a greater anomaly does not exist on earth than that the British subject on his arrival at Malta should possess fewer of the rights his birth entitles him to than he does even in a province of Turkey. But. returning to our subject, some of our contemporaries are advocating, as a standard of currency, the coinage of a colonial dollar. The idea is singularly absurd ! If the pro posed dollar were to be of standard silver passing at its intrinsic value, it would immediately disappear from circu lation. Every dormant capital would be replaced by it; out of Malta it would be everywhere saleable; it would get dis persed in other countries where it was not current, and where, there being no incitement to send it back again to Malta, it would infallibly get melted down, and converted into the ordinary, uses of bullion. If, on the contrary, such dollar were to be of an intrinsic value sufficiently less than its nominal one to keep it in the island, we should then find ourselves where we are at present with the British silver, obliged to go to the money-changer for every dollar we want for abroad, paying the difference of value between the dollars we purchase and those in which we pay for them, for surely no one would sell us dollars for less than what it would cost him to replace them. This in sub stance would be taxing pralta in favour of the mother country, as is attempted to be donee at present. For the alloy of the coin would be gained by England, and lost by us in purchasing dollars for, or in, paying for, articles from abroad—in which Operations we could only pass them at their real value, Against the foreign coin or the goods repre senting foreign coin at a nominal one. To the extent of this loss everything would rise in price, and this would be equi valent to having a currency at a discount, or in all operations except between the people and the Government; or, in other words, it would be having a local standard of currency mea sured by a foreign standard, so that the real standard after all would be the foreign coin, or articles imported represent ing it, and with the additional disadvantage, that the foreign coin not being current in the island, there would not be, as my Lord Stanley calls it, free access to it at all times, and therefore we should have to pay something more for it, for no one would keep it on hand for us without at least getting interest on his money. We pity the want of intellect of any one wbo cannot understand the absolute necessity in a place which is all the year round purchasing articles for cash from neighbouring States, of having a coin that is current in these n h te h m iul . n States. But, above all, what a precious currency would be that x e p s e h ri o e u nr , wish h nd ouwrheoic m contracted—to. , the colonial h dollar) ich nwhich additionc ul d couldneit hermadebe whenexpanded nor a an a m bim edi d e a m nt w ? as por aries to tell us what amount of colonial coinage they would rec ommend to be put into circulation, stating to us the data on which that amount is calculated, To do this, howevor, we apprehend that they would have to go into a sea of awe, rages and statistics. with which they have never tro u bled their heads, and which would o n ly en d i n s h ow i ng th e ab surdity of the idea of a colonial coinage. A currency without elasticity is hardly any currency at r T e h p e r nelasticityelio of a va c l u n r e ren be cy ing is co p m ro n d all. It cannot meet the var yi ng wan t s o f t h e commun i ty. g a e l a l er c a o l u ly n , tri b es y , l e e e n e to the so that supplies can be had from abroad and locally by banks and capitalists. This elasticity can never be wanting where the standard is gold at the generally established rates in bul lion markets. In Malta, it is insured by the currency in the island of certain foreign silver coins. To tie Malta - down to a certain amount of a local currency, would be like setting a man to run a race in a suit of armour. We do not think it necessary to follow the subject though its other ramifications, in order to show that a local coin cannot possibly meet the wants of the island. _ _ The following is the new convention between the banks and the mercantile classes : " THE NEW MONETARY CONVENTION OF THE BANKS AND MERCHANTS, &C., OF MALTA. " We, the undersigned, presidents, directors, and share holders, of the Anglo-Maltese and Malta Banks, and others, merchants and traders, in this island, feeling the inconve nience which arises to commerce from the legal valuation of the Spanish and. Sicilian dollar established by the proclama tions of the 18th of July, 1844, and 16th ofJuly, 1845, whilst British silver money continues an unlimited legal tender (although, as compared with the legal valuation of the said coins, it is of 10 per cent inferior worth), have resolved to continue the agreement of the 4th of March last, reciprocally to receive the said Sicilian dollar at 4s. 2d. each, or 30 tari of Malta currency, and to extend the same, to receive reci procally the Spanish pillar dollar at 4s. 4d., or 31 tari and 4 grains each, and the Maria Theresa dollar at 2d., or 30 tari each. This agreement to hold good untirshe 81st December, 1846, unless the British or local Government should, by an authentic and legal act, ordain that no one shall be compelled to receive, in any one payment, more than 40s. of British silver, in which case the present agreement shall be considered cancelled and of no effect at the expira tion of thirty days from the date of such authentic act of Government. " And it is further understood, that unless this agreement be signed by the majority of the shareholders of the two banks, and by the majority of those who signed the agree ment of the 4th March last, it shall not be binding on the undersigned.

Blundell, Esq., of Deysbrook, has for some past been in a sickly condition. Mr. George Kirkham, veterinary surgeon, West Derby, having been called in to give his advice, found that an abscess was forming on the left side, between the sixth and seventh ribs. Having lanced the part, he discovered the handle of a spotin protruding, and, with the aid of forceps, succeeded in extricating the instrument, which is nine inches long. The cow was first observed to be unwell about twelve months ago, and there is no doubt she swallowed the spoon about that time. It must since then have been making its way from the stomach to the position in which it was found, near to the surface of the skin. It was origi nally an iron-plated spoon, but the gastric juice has com pletely dislodged the plating, and a portion of the iron mouth of the spoon has also been dissolved by the same powerful agent. What remains is almost as thin as a wafer. The cow is now in a fair way of recovery. The operation was skilfully performed in about ten minutes.— Glcis9ow Courier. rADVERTISEMENTI—A HAND AND ARM COVERED WITH WOUNDS CURED Wins HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS I—Thomas Main injured his hand two years ago in the yard at Nortbileet, which in a short time began to swell to an alarming extent, and broke out from the fingers up to the elbow into several ulcers.

SUGAR.—To-day all descriptions of West India Musco vado Sugar were in excellent request for the use of grocers and refiners; there was more doing for the ontports, and in consequence of the firmness of the merchants, buyers were compelled to pay stiffer rates, so that prices are now the same as they were on Friday last. REFINED.—To••day refined goods were only in brisk re quest by the home trade, brown Lumps at 648 6d to 65s 6d, and Standard Lumps 66s to 675. Bonded Crushed Sugar is offered at the reduced rates of 40s to 40s 6d per cwt for first sorts. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a better demand privately for Mauritius Sugar, and the rates obtained were equal to those of the last public sale; the sorts the most wanted were the low and middling yellow at from 47s to 50s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal was pu'rchased more freely, and, privately, several parcels were sold at fully former rates ; 500 bags at auction went as follows—good white at 565, middling 54s 6d to 555, low dingy 53s to 53s 6d, damp 53s 6d to 555, washed 535, sugar drainage damaged 535. Of brown sorts some parcels sold privately. In all, 1,500 bags of Dobah have been sold at 52s to 625, and 2,000 bags of strong grainy yellow at 54s 6d to 55s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was little desire manifested to purchase Foreign Sugar by private treaty. At public sale 29 tierces and 363 barrels of Foreign West India in bond were sold, but at a decline of is to is 6d per cwt ; low yellow selling at 23s ; middling 23s Gd to 24s ; and good middling 24s to 24s 6d per cwt. MOLASSES.—This afternoon West India Molasses were sought after, and stiffer rates were given, 250 puns of An tigua were sold, fine new at 23s 6d, and very fine 24s to 24s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public salii of any sorts of Coffee, but 6,000 bags of East India are declared. There was little business transacted by private treaty in any description. For good ordihary pale Ceylon 478 to 48s per cwt are however asked. .ntwerp TEA.—For Congou holders are unable to obtain any amber M.B. 13 14i further advance, but the demand has been excellent for Altona — all descriptions.

A very valuable Parliamentary paper has just been issued from the Vote-office, for which the public are indebted to a motion of Mr. Has Tin's, made on the Bth of August last. No document could have been better calculated to exhibit the present condition of the several main branches of our Indian, Colonial. and general American trade than this. Under the heading of " Exports and Imports," it exhibits an account of " the decla re d va l ue o f t h e various articles of British produce and manufactures exported to the British West India Colonies, for each of the past five years, ending the sth day of January, 1845, with the rate of duty imposed on each a r ti c l e in the colonies ; and of the quantities of the principal articles of the growth and manu facture of the British IVest India Colonies imported into the United Kingdom; and of the quantities cleared for home consumption, and the rate of duty charged upon each arti cle, &c. ; also the number of ships, distinguishing British and Foreign, with their tonnage, that have entered and cleared for the British West India Colonies from the United Kingdom during the same period." From this well-digested mass of statistics, it results that the aggregate value of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported in 1840 was 3,574,970/. ; in 1844, 2,451,477/. ; showing a de crease in our exports to our West India colonies on the latter, as compared with the former year, of 1,123,493/. This aggre gate decline in 1841 improved in 1842; again in 1843, when it reached the amount of 1840 by less than 700,000/. In looking over the articles which compose these exports we have been struck by the general precision of the relations which they bear to the transition state of these ' colonies in their progress from slavery to freedom. It is painful to remark how large a decrease there is in articles necessary to the culture or the manufactur ing processes of the principal staple products of these islands, and also to those commodities of luxury or refinement which Were till within these few years so largely exported from this country for the enjoyment or consumption of the planters and proprietors. On the other hand, it is at once increase has and satisfactory to remark how marked an has gradually manifested itself in our exports of those arti cles, not, as heretofore, almost exclusively of necessity, but of what may be called coarse luxury and finery, such as we may well suppose would be among the most favourite and the earliest gratifications of a newly enfranchised race of a rude people. To begin with this last class of exports first, we find, accordingly, a decided increase in " apparel, slops, and haberdashery." In 1840 they were 231,0001. odd ; in 1844, 244,437/. Of manual instruments, within the same period, the exports rose from 5,9511. to 7,045/. Of perfumery (always extravagantly prized by the negro races), from 7,466/. to 9,543/. Earthenware of all sorts, 33,0001. odd. to 35,700/.. Against this pleasant glimpse of improvement we must place, with pain, such significant indi cations of decaying tillage and impoverished means on the part of the planters as we fear these must be taken for which follow. The decline on the declared value of our exports to the same colonies in manure was from 9,459/. to 5,850/ ; oil cake, 8,747/. to 7,298/. ; lime, 7,5371. to 6,917 ; bacon and hams, 39,492/. to 20,9311. ; beef and pork (the most enormous decrease on any of the items), from 104,6181. to 15,8771., or 650 per cent. on the five years. Then cabinet and upholstery ware dropped from 15,814/. in the year 1840, to 9,6781. in 1845. Butter and cheese from 111,808/. to 64,707/. Beer and ale from 81,689/. to 57,923/. Cordage from 19,007/. to 15,301/. Cotton manufactures, including cotton yarn, from, 1,234,687/. to 637,962/. Linen manufactures and yarn from 332,0411. to 217,0711. Plate, plated ware, watches, &c., from 23,2231. to 13,122/. Silk manufactures from 36,230/. to 25,078/. Woollen manufactures and yarn from 90,9161. to 78,695/. Then there is a fall in brass and copper manufactures in the same period of some 12,000/. ; in coals, culm, and cinders, of more than 11,0001. ; in machinery and millwork, of 20,000/. (this item in 1840 was 44,388/., last year only 24,110/.); in painters' colours, of 5,000/. ; tin and pewter wares, and tin-plates, of 2,000/. These are, all of them, commodities which in a sounder con dition of our West India trade ought to have shown a large rate of increase instead of such a fearful diminution. In addi tion to the very few items of "improvement," we scarcely know whether we ought to take account of so ugly an item as apothecary wares, which have gradually expanded from 18,123/. to 20,385/. " Hardware and cutlery " has risen from 70,8791. to 77,5291. Our imports from these colonies, for the same term, show some contra dictory results which it is not very easy to reconcile. For example, whilst cocoa, at a duty of 2d. and a fraction per lb., rose from 2,045,244 lbs. in 1840, to 2,583,400 lbs. in 1845, at just half that duty per lb., coffee, which, at a duty of 6d. and a fraction per lb., was imported to the extent of nearly ten millions of pounds in 1840, and upwards of ten millions and a half in 1841, lastar, at the diminished duty of 4d. an d a fraction, had rapid run down to 7,712,211 lbs. only, in Contempt of the Chancellor of .the Exchequer, the poli tical economists, and everybody else who had predicted a concurrent rise of consumption with lowering of the duty. In like manner, in 1840 we imported of ginger, from these colonies 7.935 cwt., at the duty of Ifs. 6 3-sd. per cwt., but directly this duty was reduced to ss. 3d., In 1842, the import fell to 5,068 cwt. It Is now so far recovered as to have been, last year, 6,100 cwt. The rum imported in 1840 was 3,772,047 gallons, of which there were entered, for home consumption, 2,498,255 gallons. In 1844 these quantities were, respectively, only 2,506,941 and 1,987,970 gallons (this latter quantity exclusive of 104,793 gallons East and West India rum vatted together). Sugar shows an increase in the same period of about 50,000 cwt., at the duty of 11.55. 2 2-sd. per cwt. Upon the whole, these statistics of our trade with the British possessions in the West Indies appear not only unsatisfactory, but alarming. We shall soon have occasion, however, to recur more largely to this interest ing point. The return of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported from the United Kingdom to the East India Com pany's territories and Ceylon is far more encouraging. The aggregate in 1840 was 6,623,192/. (declared value) ; for 1844 it was 7,695,606/. The importations from, and exportations to China, present an interesting feature in the document, The articles of British and Irish produce and manufactures, exported from the United Kingdom to China, consisted of apparel, slops, and haberdashery, arms and ammunition, beer and ale, printed books, brass and copper manufactures, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware of all sorts, glass, hardware, and cutlery, iron and steel, lead and shot, linen manufactures, pickles and sauces, plate, plated ware, ewellery and watches, stationery, tin, and pewter, wares and tin plates, woollen manufactures, and other articles. There has been a great increase in the last year. The following figures show the aggregate value of British and Irish produce and manu factures during the five years :-1840, 524,198/. ; 1841, 86 9 ,570/. ; 1842, 969,381/. ; 1843;1,456,104 ; 1844, 2,305,617/. The declared value of hardware and cutlery exported last year was 16,281/. The exportations have increased since the establishment of the tariff with China in a surprising manner, and must have given a great impetus to trade. The articles imported from China are likewise given. Of course the article " tea" is a great feature in the list. For the five years the following return is given :-1840, 22,576,4051b5. ; 1841, 27,639,8171b5. ; 1842, 37,409,5441b5,; 1843, 42,779,265 lbs.; 1844, 51,754,4851b5. The quantities entered for home. consumption are for the years respectively 31,009,966!:05., 83,588,12214, 30,003,4671b5., 38,685,2621b5., and 4 ! ,1 ;i18,782 lbs, The rate of duty charged i s 2s. 2 1 / 7. . per lb. In the accounts rendered of shipping, it appears, 'with respect to China, that the vessels that have entered and cleared for China from the United Klue.,m, in the last two years, ending in January last, ntimbered, as " entered inwards" in 1844, was 84, and in 1845 104, British; and "cleared out wards," in 1844, 73 ; and in 1845, 78 British ; and of foreign there were 3in 1844, and sin 1845. Our exports to the Mau ritius in the same term had declinedfrom 325,8121. to 285,6501., whilst those to the British North American Colonies increased from 2,874,913/. to 3,070,861/. A bad account, indeed, is shown of exports to New South Wales and the Australian Colonies. In 1840 they reached 2,004,3831. In 1844 they went down to 744,060/. Our export trade to the United States, after declining from its amount in 1840 (viz. 5,283,0200 by nearly the sum of 2,300,0001. in 1842, had risen at the close of the last commercial year to 7,038,079/. Our trade to Cuba stood as 514,782/. in 1840 ; at the end of 1844 it was 654,214/. To Brazil, it was in the first year of the same term 2,625,863/. ; in the last, 2,413,538/. ; to Mexico and the States of Central and South America we exported, in 1840, to the amount of ' 3,576,357/. ; in 1844, to 3,013,267/. HOP INTELLIGENCE. BURWASH.—Hop-picking commenced here on Tuesday last, and will be general in this neighbourhood to-morrow. It is now beyond doubt that the crop has been, by many of oar planters, much over-estimated. Almost every planter who has begun is inquiring for more pickers, his usual number of hands being insufficient to supply his oast daily with the re quisite quantity of hops, " We can't get on at all," say the pickers, " the hops don't rise, they are so small—so very small." The sweeping winds of the last week have done an amount of injury in the gardens, to which the farmers and labourers here say they do not remember a parallel. Great numbers of labourers, male and female, are employed daily, propping up poles and gathering up the large quantities of scattered hops. A common expression with us is, " Depend upon it, these winds have blown away twenty thousand duty." FARNHAM.—It is said the crop of hops is never safe until they are picked and dried ; and so it would appear this year, for where there is a tolerable crop they have been sadly knocked about by the tempestuous weather which prevailed from the 15th to the 18th inst. ; this must much detract from the quantity to be picked in the Farnham district; the wind was so violent that many branches have been blown off, and thousands of poles blown down. The picking would have begun on the 15th generally, but many have waited until the violence had abated on the 19th, There has been no mould throughout the year: bu; of the Aphilice, they have nod laid prostrate the foliage of many trees, assisted by the winds. The gardens are carpeted with the decayed and in fected leaves, and the poles are as if plain wires were twisted up them; and this appearance occurs more particularly in the deep rich learns of the vale of Farnham, always called the best grounds in the district. HEATHFIELD.—The all-absorbing topic of conversation at our market on Thursday last was the wet and boisterous state of the weather during that day and the few previous ones, and the consequent havoc and dismantlement of the hop plantations, whereby each garden, without exception, is truly emblematic6l of a field of battl e , w i t h t h e slain, maimed, and wounded, lying cretin and pile in all directions. The decrease of duty on this account was variously esti mated at from 20,004 ta 110,0001., and there were those who, in consideration of the immediate and premature pick ing that must ensue, even ventured an opinion of 40,0001. de crease. Mr. James Relf's choice garden of pockets are of good condition, and weigh well. One of them weighed 1 cwt. 2qrs. 27 lbs., and required GO or 67 bushels to the cwt. Far different will it be with the backward sorts. Ilortsmon.m.--The beautiful appearance which our hop gardens presented last week has vanished, and a scene of de vastation now presents its e lf, th e w i n d h av i ng committed ter rible ravages. Tho u s an d s o f p o l es are torn downtextent. in this parish, and the oeup must be lessened to a a Picking has become general, but they do not l answer t ttloiepiex pectations of the planters, being smale n i c ' e a d n in supplying the 'consequently great difficulty experienced 155,0001, oasts. Duty here is now estimated at Rytc,—The hop-picking has partially commenced in this neighbourhood, and in a few days will become general. The violent gales during Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, did considerable dama in biome of the plantations, and it is conured will mat e rially affect the duty. ject WATlliUnim—The heavy gales of laat week have com pletely changed the appearanee Qt the hop gardens in out neighbourhood: those grounds that a week ago looked like growing from 10 to 15 cwt. per acre, will now in many in stances ow down from 7 to 10 cwt. per acre, So great is t h e havoc, in our parish, that we think if other plantations are Injured in proportion, the duty must come short of list week's quotation from 20, 0001 . to aeopoi picking will become general to-morr ow er Ad aser, .3cpswrous TILE • MAKING.--AtFergusshill Tile work, parish of Kilwinning, twenty-four thousand tiles per day can be made by a single acting machine, attended by five mop, The machine was made by Mr. James M 4 Nab Old Toll, Ayr.

There has appeared at Leipic (says the Coast'tidies nel) a very interesting work on " the actual organisa tion of the Company of Jesus." The information which it discloses (founded upon documents, says the writer, which have been obtained for the major part at the price of considerable sacrifices, which he was obliged to make in order to secure their authenticity), upon the position of the Jesuits in various parts of the work?, has never before been published in so complete a form. The diffe rent establishments of the order are variously called. There are the Houses of Profession, which possess no property, and in which the father Jesuits—the professed of the order, live in common. The Residences are esta blishments of less importance, and have the right of possessing property. The Houses, properly so called, are embryo establishments in countries where the Com pany has tried to penetrate. The missions are formed by isolated Jesuits, who feel their e ay. A mission be comes by degrees, by the adjunction of new members, a college, or a nursery, for the Company, or a home of probation, or a residence. The seminaries are the spe cial establishments in which the Society gives its theo logical instruction. The members may be divided into three great classes :-Ist, the Pri.sts, amongst whom are all the professed ; 2d, the Scholars and the Novices ; and 3d, the Brothers occupied in domestic services and with the material cares of the establishments. In 1626, eighty-six years after the foundation, and under its sixth General, Mutius Vitelleschi, the Company reckoned 29 provinces in Europe, viz., 4in Italy, 2in Sicily, 1 in Sardinia, 5 in Spain, 5 in France, 3 in Belgium, 1 in Scotland, 1 in Ireland, 5 in Germany, and 2 in Poland. Out of Europe it had established 5 residences in the Turkish dominions, 2 provinces in the East Indies, 1 in the Philippines, 1 in China, I in Japan, and sin America. These provinces contained 803 esta blishments, thus classed :-26 houses of profession, 222 residences, 51 places of probation, 48 seminaries, 542 colleges, and 71 missions. The monopoly of teaching was then almost everywhere in their hands by means of the colleges. They had 108 colleges in Spain, 79 in France, 91 in Germany, 36 in Belgium, and 29 in Po land. The number of members of the Company was 15,493, of whom 13,369 were in the provinces of Europe. The order continued from year to year to progress. In 1749, they had 89 houses of profession, 669 colleges, Eli places of probation, 176 seminaries, 335 residences, 273 missions. The personnel amounted to 22,589 members, of whom 11,239 were priests. The documents relative to the following years are not so complete. On the sups pression of the order by Pope Clement XIV., in 1773, most of those papers were destroyed. Notwithstanding the Papal bull, the Society continued to exist openly in Russia. The chiefs, in the interval. and urn-;ii 1805, when the order was re-established by a bull of Pope Pius VII., assumed (i ns t ea d o f t h e name " General") the title of " Vicars-General in White Russia." It is now forty years since the Company has been re -consti tuted in an official manner. Its progress was at first slow and concealed. Towards the end of the Restora tion (of the elder Bourbons) the order was beginning to raise its head and to assume the boldest attitudes ; but the revolution of 1830 arrested it in its progress. It dis appeared again, waiting till the storm should pass away. It soon resumed its confidence, and it now openly pro claims its intention to reassume all the influence which it possessed in the days of its splendour. The check which the popular will, energetically expressed, has just made it undergo in France, will not discourage it, br cause it to relinquish its projects. The struggle will continue under another form. In ansi out of Europe the Society of Jesus actually possesses fourteen provinces —those of Roue Sicily, Naples, Spain, Paris, Lyons, Belgium, Englan'd, Austria, Ger many, Ireland, Maryland, and Mtssouri. The order reckoned in these provinces, on, the first of January, 1838, 173 establishments, and 3,067 members ; on the Ist of January, 1841, 211 establishments, and 3,565 members ; on the Ist of January, 1844, 233 establish ments, and 4,133 members. Thus in the space of six years there has been an increase of sixty establishments and 1,066 members. In 1844 the increase was still more rapid. In the seven provinces of Rome, Sicily, Turin, Paris, Lyons, and Belgium, the only ones ;eon cerning which the official accounts has reached R,onse, the or - der had an accession from the Ist o' s . January, 1844, to the Ist of January, 1845, of 394 nisw members. Indeed the reception of new members 'clad become so numerous, that Father Rothaan, t-, General of the Order, has deemed it necessary, in a circular to the provincials, dated March, 1844, to point out the dangers of so rapid an increase. Ths, province of Rome reckoned, on the Ist January, 18,1 T,, 702 Jesuits. It is at Rome that the Genera/ of the Order resides, and in that city are con-. centrated the '; , rincipal establishments. The Company has there its more important house of profession, and a college, specially destined to form priests for Germany. It has besides, at Rome, a college and a residence ; a pke of probation, properly so called; a place of proba tion of the third degree; a school for noble boarders; and a seminary where missionaries are brougbt up for the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. The other establishments of the province of Rote s are generally colleges, by means of which the Jesuit have the complete control of the education of the yosiths. In the province of Sicily the order is most fiuussshing, as also in those of Naples and Turin. In the province of Spain its estab lishments have been disoseanised by the p o liti ca l events of which th a t country has been made the theatre. On the Ist of January, 1845, there were 113 Jesuits located in some of the large towns of Spain. There were besides, 90 Jesuits belonging to the same province, but they had retired into other countries. This province pod. sesses a college and residence at Nivelles, in glum, and a residence at Aire, in France. This province has, in South America, residences in Paraguay, Uruguay, La Plata, the Bsazils, New Granada, and Chili. The province of Plsris consists of Paris and of the North of France. 011 the Ist of Janu ary, 1641, this province contained 291 Jesuits, and on the Ist of January, 1845,420 Jesuits. It had residences and seminaries at Paris, St. Acheul, Strasburg, Nantes, and many other cities and towns. As the colleges are not open to them in France, they found one at tt,e very entrance of the kingdom, viz., at Brugelette, in Belgium, and it depends on the province of France. This province has besides missionaries in Canada. and China, and two establishments in North America. The province of Lyons comprises ttie South of France. It contained 290 Jesuits in 1841, a n d 446 on the Ist of January, 1945. There were residences; &c., at Lyons, Aix Bordeaux, and the princical towns of the South. This province had also Jesuits Algeria, and missionaries in the East Indies, its ite Island of . Madura, on the north-east of Java, in Sy , and in Ma dagascar. The province of Belgium is one of the most flourishing at this moment. Thera were 319 Jesuits in 1841, and 472 in 1845. They nave colleges at Alort, Antwerp, Gand, Brussels, &c. &c., besides residences. This province has missiois s in Holland, and also in Gua timala (recently suppressed). The province of England comprised 140 Jesuit% in 1841, and 164 in 1844. They have here 33 establishments, viz., houses, colleges, resi dences, or else simple m i ss i ons . Th ey venture to show them selves less openly in England than in other countries. The colleges take here the names, not of the towns, but of saints, such as St. Ignatius, St. Thomas of Canterbury, &c. &c. Their principal establishment in the college and seminary of Stonyhurst, in Yorkshire, where there are 20 priests, 26 novices, and 14 brothers. The province of England has twenty missionaries at Calcutta. The English Government protects them as well as the Pro testant missionaries, when they are able to serve its mer cantile views in that part of the world, and at this mo ment it is helping them to found a new college, specially destined for China. The province of Austria had 268 Jesuits in 1841, and 310 in 1844. It has 'seri leges in various cities. The province of Germany chiefly consists of Switzerland. There were several Jesuits in 1841 in Bavaria. At Dresden, the con fessor of the late king was a Jesuit. Th's Company of Jesuits is waiting for the time when it may under take the re -conquest of Germany, and it exercises mean while its i n fl uence i n t h at country by means of the German college established at Rome, for forming secular priests to be spread throughout Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland. Between 1822 and 1842, 125 of these priests have been sent into Germany, and 64 into Swit zerland. The vice-province of Ireland reckoned 63 Jesuits in 1841, and 73 in 1844. They have in Ireland three colleges. The provinoe of Maryland comprises establishments in Colombia, Maryland, Massachussets, and Pennsylvania. The numbers were 109 in 1841, and 121 in 1844.
