STATE AND PROSPECTS OF BRITISHI COMMERCE (From Ma anan and Sons' Circular.) The year just terminated opened with good business prospects ; there existed an increasing confidence ; a powerful reaction in many departments of business was perceptible, and decided, in other cases ; and though in its progress the importing merchant has almost unive sally been a sufferer, sa gre demand, that all medium p the con ties, between hir .60, appear to ~ ueyond recent experience. -0, al- most every branch of manufact u r e h as b een in a state of Stamps great prosperity; but of cotton, (now the most important) Taxes perhaps, without any former precedent ; and in speaking Property Tax. of the unexampled prosperity of th e cott o n manufacture, Post Office... in order to estimate the extent of it s p u blic benefit, we Crown Lands. must not lose sight of the immense scale on which this Miscellaneous business is at present carried on, and consequently the rr , numbers who have, more or less, participated in thus realised.

All these measures seem to tend to cne result, namely, to depress the value of most articles, for the benefit of the consumer, and to check speculation ; so that capitalists have deserted the produce markets and gone to the share market. This tendency has thus far been prejudicial to imports at home. Foreign producing countries hitherto have not suffered, as we the buyers have ;e on t QUARTERS ENDED JANUARY & I 1811 1 1845 done, because from competition, and in order to get re turnaor British manufactured goods there have been too ma uyers, and thus sellers have been enabled to rea lize good prices for their productions, and the losses have chiefly fallen on the British importer. On this account, and for the reasons before named, as likewise because our marke's have been well supplied, there has generally been a downward tendency ; and when a decline has once oc curred, no matter on how low a price it has taken place, there have been few real opportunities to produce reaction, and nestain it. Though hitherto these losses may have been more felt at home, the obvious consequence must be, that hereafter the British importer may (and should) re tire, and force the producing co ,030,77/ 3,230,940 200,169 523,653 1,601,658 78,005 868,857 1,880,190 1 11,633 Taxe Property Tax . 454,415 487,541 Post Office .. 143,000 146,000 Crown Lands . 30,000 50,000 Miscellaneous 11,91 7 9,190 33,126: '3.006 20,000 1 Revenue 111,829,581 112,307,934 I 481,1 Imprest&otherl Moneys 50,136 1 146,7 250,980 ;rie thec selves to ship their produce, which they cannot hold, to the markets of consumption, or take less prices, A season of similar disappointment, to that which has just been experienced here, might bring them to be satisfied with less prices than they have hitherto been enabled to realise, and thus check eacess of production and suppl is accomplished, matters will be in a m so soon as We have seen a with , our manufacturers, that they have been induced to throw the holding of stocks on the importer. Let the importer throw it now on the grower, and then fluctua tions will be made to depend more on real supply and de mand. home. wh Referring here to the late Government measures, we have already stated that they tend to keep down the value of all business property - ; and this has taken place at a time when money has been the cheapest commodity in the market, low as others have been. The tariff keeps down the price of provisions, and the corn law that of bread stuffs ; for so soon as there is the leastimprovement in the latter, there has •usually been enough of Foreign grain at hand, on which duty, high as it may have been, has been paid ; at all events on sufficient, not only to check speculation or advance, but rather to produce decline. As a matter of revenue, therefore, probably as large an amount of duty would be paid on wheat as 15s. to 20s. per quarter, as would have been realised at Bs. per quar ter. The late Corn bill further tends to keep down prices, because under it, impJrters see their interest in selling, whilst the previous bills induced them to hold. Now, however, with reference to the general comme of The B payments of] I 332,060 Advances I Total Income 112,211,777 11 Deduct Decrease Increase on the Quarter, (From Yesterday's Times ) The increase on the customs for the year is £1,300,000, exceeding by about £200,000 the estimate formed by Sir Robert Peel, when bringing forward his budget of 1842, of the loss likely to be sustained by the revenue from those reductions of duty then proposed on timbe r, cctlee stage-coaches, and various miscellaneous articles affords no particular indication, the return being a ger ral one, and entering into no deta which the consumption of those articles consequence of the reduction ; but thz fact, deduced, as is probably the case, from the general improvement in the trade of the country, is yet highly gratifying in bring ing us back to the point, ceteris paribus, at which those concessions were made. At the same time we would call attention to this circumstance, that the income and property-tax, estimated in the same budget at £3,770,000 only, has produced in the past year £5,190,000, being an excess over the estimate of £1,420,000. It is exceedingly important that these incidents of the pub lic accounts should be borne in mind and well under stood, since, taken together, they denote a degree of . strength in the finance department, of which the country, when the budget of 1845 is brought forward, may hope to receive, in one shape or other, the benefit.

In consequence of an article furnished by Mr. Dick, sur geon of the Fire Fly, relative to the collision between these vessels, which appeared in the Dumfries Courier, and was copied into several of the Liverpool papers, Captain M`Grath, considering that it conveyed an impression to the public affecting his character, and at variance with some of the facts—has addressed a letter to the Journal of Saturday last, in which he details all the circumstances that took place on the unfortunate occasion, not only showing that he was not to blame (as is admitted by the captain of the brig himself,) but that he did everything that humanity and consideration could suggest, and thus succeeded in saving the lives of all on board the brig, with the exception of the mate, who, probably not aware that the vessel was in immediate danger of sinking, obstinately rejected all entreaties to leave her with the others, and consequently perished, it being impracticable again to reach her before she went down.

When they had gone about 250 yards from Derby house, and were within 200 yards ottMr. Scott's cottsge, which leads into the Rock-park, two men suddenly jumped from a plantation and made their appearance on the footpath. The fellow who was accompanying Mr. Peacop gave a whistle, and instantly the two others sprang upon Mr. Peacop and felled him to the ground with a violent blow on the side of the head from a heavy stick or club. While down they struck him several other blows and rifled his pocket of the 21s. in silver which the little bag contained, but, in their hurry and confusion, left the remaining £7 behind them. At the time a gentleman, named Keyzier, who lives at the Pasture, was going home from the Rook Ferry, and hear ing the noise. he ran to the spot and found Mr. Peacop weltering in his blood on the ground, and two fellows over him, one in the act of rifling his pockets and t' other attempting, as he thought, to strangle him .
