is one of the most remarkable illustrations of the enter-
prise and energy of modern commerce. The trade in
tea now gives employment to upwards 0[60.000 tons of
British shipping, and about £10,000,000 of British capi-
tal, producing a revenue to the State of £5,500,000.
It was rumoured on the Liverpool Exchange on Tues-
day that a gentleman engaged in the cotton trade has

a View of capturing or destroying vessels and cargoes
sailing under the Federal flag, and that another will
shortly follow."
The Nottingham lace trade still remains in a very

into the market are of the most limited character.
