The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of Saturday :

COMMERCIAL.

The prospectus of the long-contemplated. Bank of Tur•
key is to be issued on Monday.

It is rumoured that the Indian Government is
about to place a heavy duty on saltpetre. : • '
In the colonial produces markets during the week
there has been considerable activity. Prices in several
cases showing further improvement. The operations
have been of greater importance than usual immediately
after Christmas.
.The'riaes devotes several columns to a review of the
events of the year, and summarises as follows :—The
old year has ended with a general advance of prosperity,
and with cheerful hopes for the future. Exports and
imports, employment and profits, and the produce of
the public revenue have steadily increased, notwith-
standing political uneasiness and the Continental war.
The shipping interest seems likely soon to recover from
the exceptional depression which followed on the special
deinand for vessels during the Crimean campaign.
Every other branch' of industry is flourishing as abun-
dantly as at any former period, and ,the England of
_lB6O is richer, stronger, and better contented than the
wealthy and prosperous England, which, in 1850, com-
manded the respect and envy of the world.
