TRADE Maims. —The French Consul at Man-
chester, 31. D. Kiaetser Ressareta, has male known to the
merchants, minute:turtle, otners interested in trade,
that the French government have opened • record-016os in
Paris for the registering trade narks, in order to prevent
imposition. The communication is as follows :—"Manches-
ter, Sept. 3, 1/4410.—5ir,-1 beg to inform the tradespeople
of this country, through your valnahle newspaper, that an .
manufacturer in England may now deposit in the
office of the Chamher of Commerce in Paris the tilde
mark of any goods that will not be prohibited after the
time fixed for these special goods by the final conclusion
of the Anglo-French commercial treaty. This deposit of
the trade mark changes, however, nothing in the present
laws of customs still misting, but it would be advantageous
for opportunity
manufacturers to avail themselves of topportunity

before the conclusiou of the commercial treaty, in-order to
secure at mice the benefits arising therefrom. Yours truly,
D. KaAerzru Itsssutcrs, Consul fur France."
The old English blood has not stagnated in our
veins. The population of the country is tepidly increasing
despite of the enormous drain of emigratian—nor has the
race degenerated in any respect. Yost of the suits of armour
in the Tower would be found too small for the stunt limbs
of the young Cumherland recruits' who joie the ranks el
our Household troops. The duration of life has increased.
It is a mistake to suppose that the increase of luxury has
sapped the vigour of the English people. We have still •
practical mouepo!y of the coal sod iron of the world, sad
teenaged skill in sing them. Better still, we have abso-
lute freedom of action and thought —Oen s wok.
