The following appear,
impression of Saturday

,d in a portion of teur

COMMERCIAL.

The increase of the exports of 1859 over the previous
year is 12 per cent, and is 7i per cent. more than in
1857, the most active year ever known.

The failure of Messrs. Smyth, Searle, and Co., com-
mission merchants in the past India trade, was an-
nounced yesterday. The liabilities are 'estimated at
between £20,000 and £30,000.
The produce markets, during the week, have been
generally inactive, the proposed abolition of the duties
upon numerous articles having, at present, exercised but
a slight influence on prices.
