pression of Saturday

COMMERCIAL.
The Emigration Commissioners require a ship to
take passengers to Melbourne.
The Admiralty have .taken up the steamers 'Kherso-
nese, Sir William Peel, and Tigress for transport
seryiee. They will probably be employed in the China
waters.

The Times corrects the statement made yesterday :
instead of the sailings there and at Liverpool being 8,000
tons in excess of the tonnage placed on the berth, the
difference was the other way.
According to a telegram from Hong Kong, dated Nov.
15, the rate of exchange had -declined to 4s. Bd., which
is about 11 per cent. more favourable to this country.
The prices of tea are said to have become firmer, while
those of silk showed an opposite tendency.
The Times city article says the colonial produce mar-
kets during, the week have been very firm, but Kan
experienced little variation, the supplies brought forward
being small. The prices of several leading staples, how-
ever, show a further tendency to improvement. Business.
generally, will not be fully resumed till Tuesday, the
3rd of next month.
