Regarding tea and silk the secretary of the Canton Cham-
ber of Commerce writes on the 7th of June :
Tea.—The amount of business that has been transacted
aces the despatch of the last steamer has again been limited,
purchases having been confined to Canton made descriptions.
There have been arrivals at this port of portions of
three chops of congou of last season's crop, which
the Chinese affirm are bat harbingers of more to follow:.
With regard to teas, the growth of the present season, it is.
very problematical whether any will find their way here;
doubtless, if the arteries leading hither be thrown open, then
will be brought to this emporium ; but the reports circu-
lated by the Chinese are so conflicting, that an opinion can -
not be formed as to the future course of events.
Estn.—Tbe first crop of Canton is reported to have been
a failure ; but little reliance can be placed oo accounts re-
ceived from the growing disuieta, which are Mill the sewn.
of disorder.

SHIP LAUNCHES.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The Sarah Palmer, an iron ship, of 1,440 tone,
intended for the Indian trade, and built for Messrs. Jones,
Palmer, and Co., of Liverpool, was launched from the
Bank-quay Foundry, at Warrington, yesterday, in the
presence of a vast concourse of spectators. The following
an her dimensions :—Length of keel, 210 feet; and be-
tween perpendiculars, 225 feet ; and over all, 235 het;
breadth of beam, 36i feet; depth of hold, 23 feet. She is
named after the youngest daughter of one of the owners,
who performed the baptismal ceremony. She arrived this
morning at Liverpool, where she will be rigged and pre-
pared for sea. Her first destination is Calcutta.
The Fiery Cress, a clipper ship of 800 tons, was also
launched yesterday from the building-yard of Messrs.
Rennie, Johnson, and Rankin, Brunswick Dock, Liverpool,
in the presence Of the owners Moser,. John and James
Campbell, of Olugow. The Fiery Crow is intended for the
China trade, and is one of the finest ships ever built in the
Mersey. Her length of keel is 165 feet ; length over all,
200 feet ; rake of stern, 9 feet ; breadth of beam, 30 feet ;
and depth of hold, 19 feet The christening ceremony was
performed by Miss Malcolm, of Liverpool.
Both launches were successful, no accident having oc.
curved on either occasion.
The Royal Charter, a new screw steamer, of 2,785 tone,
built for the new Australian Steam Navigation Compaeg
(for whom Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co. are managers),
' was agempted to be launched yesterday, at Sandicroft, near
Queen's Ferry, on the River Dee, but after receiving her
name from Mrs. Samuel Bright, she glided from her
stays, and as soon as her helm reached the water's edge, she
became immovably fired, to the great chagrin and disap-
pointment of thousands of spectators. The cause of
the untoward event was the ground having given
way under her starboard aide, causing her to hang
in her ways. This being the case, the first
high tide will probably set her afloat. The Royal
Charter is 350 fast long, 41}feet beam, 261 feet deep,
while her cabin is 100 feet in length. She is fitted to
carry 66 first cabin, and 693 second and third cabin passer.-
gars. Her engines are 350 horse-power, and occupy the
space of 360 tons. She has capacity for 5,500 gallon •of
water in stank.
The Coromine, intended for the East Indian tratl.u, and
owned by Messrs. Thomas Brocklebenk and Co., of Liver-
pool, was safely launched at Weitehaven yesterdey.

FALL OF A LARGE MANUFACTURING SHED AT
HALIFAX:A portion of a wall nearly 40 feet high, upon
the newly erected shed of Messrs. Robert Crowley and Co.,
carpet manufacturers, Albion Mills, Manisa. fell with • tro•
menden, crash shortly before one o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. The shed was built only lest summer. The extent of
wall which has given way is about 30 yards long, and it has
broken in pieces three cardiug machines, a drill, and other
machinery. The Messrs. Crossley's lois cannot be much
less than S,OOOl. No do'obt the flood of Monday night use
the main cause of the shed falling so suddenly. Raft the
accident occurred during working hours the loss of life
would here been very groat. The machinery was entirely
new.—Monehertor Guardian.
