BEGINNINGS OF BRITISH COMMERCE We find the substance of the following statements, rela tive to the origin of the commerce of Britain with foreivn countries, in a curious but somewhat verbose and prolix, " Memoirs on the Revolutions of Commerce of the British Isles, from its commencement to the invasion of the Ito. mans, by M. Melot : read before the French Royal Academy of Inscriptions, in 1743." It appears, from Strabo, that the Phenicians first esta lished commerce with the British Isles. This writer gives s the following details of t brought to this country ear and Copp and tin d cattle; that the Las sk for the cl nations, e and whi oved in r merce might 1 found in I inexliausti them very near th, rocky, it wja;trave his commerce The PheniCians aware, salt, all sorts of iron s, leather were 1 ❑tained mines of gold, silver part of their trade ich were excellent var. Whatever the extent even 0. ars certain that the trade in tin Les of tin almost everywhe re , man y o-, f surface; and, although the soil was d in all directions by veins of sand or gravel, which contained metal in abundance, and nearly on the surface of the earth. Thus these mines were hot only numerous, but also rich, and required neither much labour nor expense to work them. The natives, who knew not their riches, and who estimated the value of the metal by the amount of labour which it cost them to procure it, and its worthlessness to themselves (the Phenicians being, of course, too much interested to instruct them in its uses), gave their tin almost for nothing, and took in exchange inferior articles, for which they paid extravagantly, because they were useful to a savage and slothful people. Pliny, according to Bochart, attributes the discovery of the British Isles to the Phenician Hercules : and w find from Eusebius's Chronicles, a Phenician Hercules existing in the 73d year of Moses. Elsewhere Herodotus insinuates, and some critics have thought, that all the tin which was an ciently found in Asia had been brought there from the Bri tish Isles, by the Phenicians. Now the Bible informs us, that this metal was employed in ti— - 'traction of the ta- . Lne cons. bernacle. From these facts it may be inferred, that the discovery of Britain by the Phenicians must have been about the time of Moses. The destruction of Tyre, and the es tablishment of Alexandria, destroyed the commerce of the Phenicians ; and, for a time at least, Britain was left without a trade with the East. About three hundred years before Christ, nians discovered Britain. and opened a commerce wu.. but, whether they were less fortunate or less skilful than I. Phenicians, they did not long preserve their monopoly in this commerce. Pytheas, an astronomer of Marseilles. in a voyage which he made to Thule, discovered Britain about same time as the Carthaginians ; and, by the account be published, made known the existence of these islands, and revealed the secret of their commerce. Diodorus states, that it was the Britons of Cape P who obtained tin from the mines; which thP- the Carthaw reduced into cubical masses (blocks), which they transported to the Isle of Wight, on chariots at low water, when the sea let dry the tongue of land which joined that island with Great Britain. To that island the foreign merchants came to buy the tin, which they took thence to the coast of Gaul, where they loaded horses with it ; and, in thirty days after quitting the cost, arrived at the mouth of the Rhone, at Marseilles, as Strabo explains in speaking of this commerce. As soon as Narbonne was built, British tin was carried thither, as well as to Marseilles. Diodorus also states, that the Gauls carried away from the Carthaginians the trade with Great Britain in tin. Caesar tells us, in precise terms, that the Veneti formed the most powerful state in Armorica that, by their skill in naval ' • - '^h they had at by the large force torn all vessels in which ~.. sea, tney levied tributt. that latitude; and that they maintained a numerous fleet in the trade with Britain. Probably their port was in the neighbourhood of Brest, and their commerce with Britain commenced about 120 years before Christ. It appears, then, that only three nations are known to have carried on trade with Britain prior to its invasion by the Romans, viz., the Phenicians, Carthaginians, and Gauls. Another French Writer, however, shows that the Marseillese of that early period were Greeks, and so includes that nation amongst the traders with Britain. Anderson, in his " Historical and Chronological Deduc tion of the Origin of Commerce," states, that according to the learned Bochart, in his Canaan, the Island of Britain was, about the year 904 before Christ, known and traded to by the Phenicians for the tin of the Cassiterides, there being then none of that metal to be found in the eastern countries. The author of " The Rights of the Kingdom, or the Cus toms of our Ancesto rs ," says that many Greek authors be fore Strabo a n d and Massilian Pliny relate the Phenici a n, Cartbagenian, [ Marseilles] traffic to the Cassiterides for tin, and mention the story of the Carthaginian pilot, who was re warded by the Carthaginian senate for sinking his ship, ra ther than he should be forced by the Romans to discover their traffic for lead and tin found about the British isles. Speaking of a later p; A Pe-Pu, Anderson says, that, although the Romans held Britain about 360 years, yet in all that time there was but little of a commercial spirit to be found amongst the Britons, whose shining, regular towns, arts, and manufactures, it must be a cknowledged, they owed en tirely to the Romans. He adds, that although neither Lon don nor any other place deserving the name of a city or town existed in Britain in the time of Julius Caesar, London was a considerable place in Nero's_ reign, 10 0 years later ; and hence conjectures that it was founded in the re i gn of Nero ' s predecessor, Claudius [whom Snet oni us suppo se d to h ave been the first contriver of marine ins urances.] t owar d s its close, probably about the year 52 . Tacitus, who li ve d some time in London about 50 years after this period, s ays it was famous for its many merchants, and the abund ance of its merchandise. This would be about the year 102, A.D. CHARTIST RECREATIONS.-011 Monday night the char. tists assembled in their hall, No. 55, Old Bailey, not for th e purpose of listening to the " sweet voice " of Miss Ann Walker, nor to " further the charter to the utmost of their power," but to take part in a concert and t The females The concert com - 1. 57 male ar on this occasion greatly predominated, menced, and consisted of chartiOrng artistes of the chartist school ; among them was the favourite song (among the rhartists) of " O'Connor 's the man of oar sang a song, the burden of which was " Oh, moth my gentle mother dear !" Now came the ball. After d for some time, a subscription was raised among the gentle men (?), the ladies strongly protesting at being excluded, and threepennyworth of misletoe was bought. A Air. Hogg pro- posed to have the "cushion dance," upon which a general cry of " by all means," many of them not knowing what it meant. No cushion being found, a " bolster " was intro duced, with which the " proposer " danced until nearly out of breath. The " bolster ' was then presented to Miss Susannah Cleopatra Inge, who at the same time received a kiss from Mr. Hogg. Miss Inge then danced with the ‘` bolster," and having received several chartist kisses, sat down with the_ air of an eastern monarch. she heincr the Queen of the Nig t, our a/-••••is 1,14 I.IIC shade. The " bolster" havin g danced for upwards of an hour, was allowed to retire, as did the other dancers, at the peep of dawn, many of them thinking it was better to spend the time in the manner they had done on that occasion than in agitating for the charter.

Nay, have they shown anything like a sympathy for human labour? Do they ever, by choice, em ploy flesh, Mood, and mind, in preference to wood, iron, and the mechanical powers? Quite the contrary : even where the man would be as cheap as the machine they prefer the engine, because, as one of the Utilitarians once said to us, the engine never gets drunk—the true reason being, that the engine never disturbs the comfort or the profits of the master with complaints of overwork and insufficient wages. Need we give any other proof of the indifference with which these philanthropists can look through the medium of their own interest at human suffering, than the history of the Factory Bills, and the causes which forced the legislature to such an interference, and the delays and difficulti es w hi c h that interferenc e h as :ad to contend with? The recent re ports of the factory inspectors give abundant evidence of the eagerness with which every possible improvement of machi nery is caught at, in order to get rid of men. "Ingenuity," Mr. Horner, "has been stimulated to the utmost to SU . !:.bour by mechanical contrivances ; and, manual labour is still necessary, by getting it per formed by children and young persons instead of adults." And he gives the instance of one class of spinners, who were by a very simple invention thrown out of employment, who bad been accustomed to live well upon high wages, and were now too old to learn a new trade. " The case of these spin ners," adds Mr. Horner, "is a very bard one, and entitled to great commiseration. The change has come rapid% upon them ; and men advanced in life, and long accustomed to good wages, if they find employ men t i n th e same tra d e, must take subordinate situations, and can only earn a scanty sub sistence." And by this change Mr. Horner found that the millowner made a savinc , of £1 16s out of £6 10s., or near 25 per cent. on the wages he had been paying. Do we depreciate the use or improvement of machinery ? We are guilty of no such absurdity : without machinery there could be no human labour at all, for everything beyond our persede manual where naked fingers is machinery ; the needle, the spade, the distaff, and the plough, are as strictly machines as the steam-engine. We therefore shall never stoop to flatter the working classes by delusive declamations against machinery ; but we feel, on the other hand, that when new machinery is likely to eject an established class of human labour, those who introduce it in justice as well as charity—to make the change d the discharge of the poor people as little afllic- We think, therefore, that some of the ex hich the millowners of the League are bound— been expending at " CoVerences” and "Demonstra !ons'' abcut the country, would have been better employed at home in alleviating the immediate distresses of their own people—iu delayir b , rather than accelerating any unfavoura kle changes i n the condition of the workmen; and, when 'ch changes become inevitable, in making them gradual :1 of " rapid." One might expect from persons of iberality arid benevolence, that they would not have sec], as the Factory Reports state that they do, faith -4 efficient servants fully equal to the work on which ' too old to learn a new they I g that might be made by the substitu tion of " ;young persons and children." We are not san guine enough to dream that such indulgence could be exer cised for any long time, or on any extensive scale; but is it ever attempted? Are these changes ever alleviated even by the cheap decency of sympathy, real or assumed ? W e de sire these gentlemen to produce, any circumstances in their management of their affairs or their dealings with their workmen, to show that they are, or ever have been, actuated by any other principle than that same object which they are pursuing as members of the League, namely, that of getting the most work they can for the least wages—a natural object we admit, and one which, as a matter of dry business, can not be complained of; but we may, and we do, complain of the falsehood and hypocrisy which disguise this object under professions of liberality and philanthropy, and which endea voured to excite against other classes of the community all the odium of the frequent and extensive distress, which is, and, we fear, always must be, the inevitable result of their own manufacturing system. We have shown, that the league have spent, according to their own statement, £90,000 in the last year, we know not exactly how, but clearly in futh erance o f the unconstitutional, illegal, and dangerous practices which we have detailed. We have shown, we think, abundant reason to conclude that the £50,000 which they are now endeavouring to raise is, probably destined to the same, or perhaps still more illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerous practices, We have shown, that from first to last, their system has been one of falsehood and deception—from their fundamental imposture of being the advocate of the.poor, down to the meaner shifts of calling brutal violence freedom of discussion, and a subscription for feeding sedition and riot a fund for education of charity- A -4 finally _ .y, we hope we nave shown, that no man of common sense, of any party—if be only adheres to the general principles of the British constitution—cal hesitate to pro nounce the existence of such associations—raising money— exciting mobs—organised—and, to use a term of the same Jacobin origin as their own, affiliated—for the purpose of coercing the government and the legislature, can hesitate, we say, to pronounce the existence of such associations dis graceful to our national character, and wholly incompatible either with the internal peace and commercial prosperity of the country—or, in the highest meaning of the words—the SAFETY OP THE STATE. THOROUGH DRAINING AND SUBSOIL Mr. Smith, of Deanston, the distinguished writer on agricultural science, paid his expected visit to Belfast on Tuesday last, and delivered a highly important, interesting, and instructive lecture on the above subjects, in the Music.hall. The announcement of Mr. Smith's coming to this town was hailed by all the landed proprietors and extensive farmers in the province with a degree of enthusiasm seldom witnessed in Ireland. He had been for some time on 'a visit at Hailsborough Castle, the seat of the Marquis of Downshire ; and that nobleman took an opportunity of requesting that his guest would, if his convenience per mitted, address a meeting in Belfast, on those subjects in agricultural improvement with which his name has become so honourably connected. Mr. Smith readily acceded to the wish of his lordship, and to that of the influential gentlemen who signed a requisition to that effect, which had been forwarded to his lordship. The meeting was one of the largest and most respectable that have ever been held in the Music-hall. There were certainly not fewer than six hundred of the principal landed ,proprietors, leading agriculturists, hankers, merchants, &c., of the province present. On the motion of the Most Noble the Marquis of Donegal!, seconded ley Sir R. Bateson, Bart. the Most Noble th e M arqu i s o f Downshire was call e d t o the chair.--Ulster Banner. LECTURE ON PLOUGHING LEGAL PICKPOCKETS,—A clergyman a few days ago having occasion to send a notice of appeal fur surcharge to one of the ofliciaries paid and appointed by her Majesty for the pur pose of annoying the community, fastened the envelop, in a spirit of most uncalled-for courtesy, with wax, and that wax he happened to impress with one of those glass toy seals that sell in our trinket shops for a penny a-piece. The answer to his notice was a letter from the said officiary charging him XI. 4s. for armorial bearings ! On making some inquiry into the matter, he was informed that the same party had, on similar proof, charged upwards of a hundred individuals in the same way. It is said that the commissioners have no power of relief. At least. they have power to present the im pudent functionary to the treasury as a public nuisance, and to have him sent about his business. But they have power of relief. The letters in question, we are informed, were en closed in envelopes. There is no evidence to connect any particular envelope. From the moment the seal is broken the identification of the letter, it must be attached to the letter. The envelope is not traceable. It carries with it no sign. However the commissioners settle it, the case will, we trust, operate as a warning. Whenever you address a tax man, be he high or low, rich or poor, remember he cannot be, on any hypothesis imaginable, a gentleman, therefore use a wafer to close your letter.—Birmingham Journal. CONJUGAL AND FILIAL AFFECTION.—There dwells near the top of Chance's Pitch, at Little Malvern, in this county, an old dame named Betty Bright, who met with an adven ture last Sunday which well nigh caused her death. Betty left her cottage in the afternoon, to attend the Wesleyan Chapel, at Colwall, and on her return was overtaken by a tremendous storm of rain. The night came on so fast that the-poor old woman lost herself, and remained all night on the grovnds of Mr. Vick, of Old Castle Farm, exposed to the pelting of the pittiless storm ! It seems that when the dark ness came suddenly on, she was in a field enclosed by a stone wall, and after wandering about for a long time without being able to find her way out, she gave up the attempt in despair, and sat under the wall all night, where she was found about five o'clock the next morning, by a boy who came with a candle and lantern to attend to the cows. The boy promptly took her home, and as soon as the circumstance came to the knowledge of his mistress, she kindly sent the poor old dame wine,' brandy, &c., which, with other attentions, had the effect of enabling her to recover from the effects of her expo sure. The kindness on the part of Mrs. Vick contrasts in broad relief with the conduct of those of her own kin : for Betty's affectionate husband and son kept themselves snug in doors, and never thought of looking after her, though she is nearly 80 years old, (and consequently but ill able to con tend with the storm of Sunday night,) and bent nearly double by age. We should add that there is a large pool and deep ditch in the field that she passed the night in, consequently it was next to a miracle that she was not drowned.—Wor cestershire Chronicle.

In the same letter the vua uguin gets the Dater or LUC religious, and the widow thus breaks forth :—" I have kissed it (a note from Rowley,) not twenty times, but twenty times twenty, how much would I rather have had them from the writer, not the writing ; hope I shall soon." The extracts having been read, Mr. Bridges addressed the court, saying, that the facts formed, if not a justification, such a mitigation of the words used as to exonerate his client from penance and from costs. Mr. Hartley on the other side pressed for sentence against the defendant. The learned Chancellor then proceeded to deliver his judg. .nt. The learned judge having gone over the facts of the ;e as stated above,, then said, that the words used were ,tie question was, wire _ ..as a justification of them. The Chancellor then read some of the letters, dommenting upon some of the im passioned expressions in them, and said there were in all fifteen or sixteen letters in the same fervid strain ; and it was impossible that any wife should see such letters addressed to her husband without being irritated. Whether any criminal ntercourse really took place between the plaintiff and the efendant's husband he did not know, but looking at the tters there was every excuse to the defendant for believing at there had. Was this then a case in which a court pro 'ute ai - -;41 the defy +int for I ...nsmce could punisu .enc _ _laving uttered words that she did utter under the circumstances?

His client, coming into possession of certain letters which he would presently read to the court, felt that she was wounded in the most cruel manner in which a wife could be injured, turd she felt also that she had daughters whose reputation and fair prospects in life depended upon the discontinuance of a correspondence which those 1 -**--- .3 exist between her husband and Mrs. Payne. She diC At any respectable woman, a mother ad a wif would do ne evinced even more than common and in the case, for she went to Mr. Chidgey, who is an assistant surgeon at Keynsham, and the brother of Mrs. Payne, to induce that gentleman to prevail upon his sister to discontinue the correspondence. She requested for this pur pose to have a private interview with Mr. Chidgey, which that gentleman refused, and said, that if she had anything to say she should say it in the surgery, when there were two gentlemen present. Excited, as may be supposed, by the letters then in her hand, still more excited at being thus treated when she came *upon an errand the most judicious, the most temperate, and be might say the most kind to the plaintiff that could be conceived, Mrs. Rowley certainly did speak under the impulse of strong feeling, and said, " If I must speak out, I say your sister has been holding an im proper correspondence with my husband ;" but even if she used the words stated on the other side—of which she was avvure—ne conceives the court would consider that the provocation was such as to remove the necessity of con demning her in costs and enjoining penance. Whatever the words were that she then used, Mr. Chidgey was apparently not , less excited, for he shook his fist at her, and said " By ant to Mrs. Payn THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE (From the Qaarterty Review.) a beast i❑ the mouth of )oiled child of agitation I poll tl ;station, It me 1 . question a Aitical object of sense, boy mr.

On her arrival at the gate Joe demanded his toll, on which, supposing her self exempt, when on her way to a place of worship, she said, " I am going to absolution;" which latter word sorely puzzled poor Joe, who replied he did not " know sike a place here abouts," and believing that the little demur in paying the toll arose from the lady having no change, be civilly con sented to allow her to pass, if she wouid pay on her return. This caused her to explain that she claimed exemption, and Joe having been partially enlightened that absolution was luough a toll- .. some ceremony at the priest's house which he did not under stand, brought all his knowledge into play to contest the claim. In vain the lady asserted she was going for absolu tion to the nearest place of worship, for Joe smartly replied, " Absolushun! absolushun !! it woant do for me,--abso lushun woant pay t' bar." She then attempted to reason with Joe on the •unreasonableness, if not illegality, of de manding toll under the circumstances ; but Joe continued inflexible, and showed " absolution stuck in his gizzard," as he often repeated the word in a low grumbling tone. The lady, notwithstanding, persisted in her claim to exemption, until poor Joe waxed warm, and delivered himself as fol lows :—" Marm, I've been a bar tenter these foive and twenty year, and I ne'er heerd o' absolushun afore." The claimant became annoyed at Joe's pertinacity, and proceeded to lecture him pretty freely ; but he answered, " I care nowt abawt the noise ye mak i'th hoile—l must have t' toll ; there's pout abawt absolushun on my board, and I ne'er seed it int' genral or loocal act." Baffled by Joe's law and eloquence, the lady paid the toll, and threatened to summon him, to which he answered, " I'll go afore my betters when yo' and it woan't be t' first time by monny a won." Joe, how ever, did not feel quite assured that be had settled this, to him, new point correctly, and he essayed to consult a rev. trustee of the road on the following day, but not succeeding in meeting with the gentleman, he took much trouble to find the law clerk, whom he addressed thus :—" Mr.—, can yo' please to tell me what absolushun is ? there's a wooman fro' Harrygate says it clears her t' bar; but I tould her my boord said nout abawt it, and I made her pay, and shu says shu'll fotch me up." The clerk enjoyed Joe's amusing account of the scene. The lady did not summon him, and poor Joe was much gratified with his further acquisition of turnpike law as regarded "absolution." —Leeds intelligencer.

This it is that supplies the source and feeds the current agitation. This is the secret head of this muddy and inundating Nile. Revolu tionary feelings and projects have mixed and will continue to mix themselves up with it; but the first and great object of the league was and is the LOWERING OF WAGES. Sup posing their theory had been as right, and their intentions as good, as we think them the reverse, we know that no theory of political economy —no abstract benevolence for suffering humanity—ever did or ever could create and sustain such an intense and persevering activity as the unappeasing greediness of gain has imparted to these agitators. We are not such sentimentalists as to blame men for pursuing their individual advantage with the eagerness, and even the selfishness, which after all must be the mainspring of successful business; but there are moral limits to this allowance, which seem to have little or no practical influence on the leaders of the League; who, not satisfied with the great, and in some cases enormous, profits and fortunes that have been realized under the present system of food and wages re endeavo" ' I 'he and —.bring by tk. ue influence of confederation, intimidation, and deception—to reduce wages still lower—to the great injury of the working classes, to the ruin of the agricultural interests, and to no immediate profit but their own. lower t we really kr r fou TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27.—Wind W.N.W.

COTTON A.ARKET, DECEMBHR The tone and feeling of our Cotton market is remarkably healthy, and the amount of transactions this.week will be on rather a large scale. On Tuesday 5,000 bales were sold, yesterday 7,000, and to day 5000 at very full prices, with a tightning market, and holders bring out their stocks sparingly, though the accounts by the Columbia confirm the previous estimates of a large crop. It is said that if trade is to improve and keeps at all brisk, the consumptio❑ will be considerably increased, so much so, as to require s heavy stock to keep prices from rambling.

The pre-existing dulness, the absence of any extensive buyers, and the holidays as usual at this season of the year, contributing to render the market exceedingly uninteresting, we have to report a very languid sale this morning for every article of the trade. Importers of Wheat, however, remained firm, and at an early hour of the day, in some instances, re quired rather higher prices; but no advance being obtain able, and the transactions very unimportant, the sale of all descriptions of this Grain closed heavily at the rates of last week. Flour also continued in slow request, and in general barely sustained its former value. Fine Malting Barley, upon a short supply, partially ex ceeded our last quotations, but grinding qualities experienced no improvement. Prime new Malt was rather dearer, infe rior kinds of old remaining very unsaleable. Beans and Pease continued nominally as described on Friday. Oats, of which a few limited parcels alone found buyers, receded d. to id. per 451bs; and Oatmeal moved off very sparingly on the reduced terms, specified in our preceding report.
