STATE OF TRADE.

CARDIFF, Sept. 6.—The steam coal trade is Ilia.
racterised by a large amount of activity, and there
is a fair prospect of fully an average trade being
done this month. The reports from the Spanish,
French, and other continental markets are en-
couraging, and there is no doubt entertained
that the demand will continue brisk during the
coming months. The current quotations are obtained
without difficulty, where anything like a reason..
able delivery is guaranteed. Should the supply of
vessels be adequate the collieries are likely to be
fully employed at least for some time. House coal
remains without any material change. The iron
trade retains its increased vitality, and buyers are
sending in their specifications with readiness.
Rails are quoted £7 to £7 10s, free on board, and
and bars £7 to £7 ss. Coke is in moderate re-
quest, and the patent fuel works are in full employ.
DUNDEE, 6th.—Privately the demand for flax
was very limited to-day, and prices are ratherweak.
A considerable quantity was put up ;to auction to-
day, and about half of what was offered found
buyers, but at low prices, the remainder being with-
drawn for more money. Fine tow is held pretty
firmly, but common qualities can be bought cheap.
Fully 3,000 bales of jute were put up to public sale
here today, and more than two-thirds of the quails
tity was sold, but the 'prices realised were consi-
derably below the nominal market rates. These is
almost nothing doing by private sale, as spinners
look for still lower prices. The demand for yarns
was entirely consumptive to-day, and the business
done was at rather easier rates than before. Goods
suitable for the American market were in more re-
quest today than for weeks past, and considerable
transactions are reported. Other fabrics are in
moderate demand, and manufacturers are still kept
well supplied with orders, but they are now willing
to book them at rather lower prices than when
things were brisker.

LEICESTER, 7th.—There is continued activity in
the hosiery trade ; all branches except the glove re-
main in a healtby and satisfactory condition. There
is plenty ef empioyment in the country districts.
Yarns are firm, and high rates are realised, spin-
ners being well engaged. There is not much alte-
ration in the wool market, which continues quiet,
but material is commanding high prices.

NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—The lace trade generally is
quiet, hut not more so than is usual at this time of
the year. A little is doing for the autumnal demand
for the German markets and for France. Mechlin
quillings keep in request. In plain stiff nets there
is still very little doing. There is a tolerable
amount of business doing in black silk laces and
narrow edzings, while there is very little or no im-
provement in the demand for silk mechlins and silk
quillings. Stocks of all kinds of goods continue
light. In lining there is not much change; the
market generally is rather quiet. Yarns are selling
at high rates.
London, England, 1864-09-08

amount entered under the head of re-exports !
from Shanghae—goods which have been brought to
that port as an entrepot, to be thence forwarded to
other ports of China and Japan. The native boats
rave an advantage over European vessels in being
able to visit any of the ports, and the Chinese natu-
rally avail themselves of this power to a large ex-
tent. The report of the trade of the port of Swatow
during the last year, made by the British Consul,
Mr CAINE, confirms the favourable impression made
by the Shanghae returns, The shipping returns
for 1863 show an increase of 75 in the number of
British vessels enter the port, with an additional
tonnage of 30,123, while there was an increase
of 83 in the number of vessels leaving
with cargo. In the foreign shipping there
is also a large increase ; greater, indeed, in propor-
tion, than that in the British, but the coast trade in
steamers is still entirely in British hands. The
valua of the import trade of Swatow during 1863
shows an increase of half a million over the pre-
vious year, the principal item in the increase being
beancake ; while the excess in the exports, which
amounts to more than £BO,OOO, is principally owing
to sugar and tobacco. The total value of the trade
of Swatow, exclusive of the native trade in native
vessels, is estimated at more than two millions and
a half sterling, being considerably more than half a
million in excess of the former year. In communi-
cating this fact the Consul is anxious that the
various disadvantages should be taken into account.
The foreign merchants are denied access to the chief
cities, certain powerful village clans claim heavy
dues on all goods sent inland, and the internal
state of the country is anything but tranquil. • The
trade between Swatow and Singapore has also
been almost entirely suspended by the exactions of
the Chinese officials, and the extortionate demands
of the villagers. The Singapore vessels are, there-
fore, compelled to resort to the expedient of dis-
charging their cargoes into lorchas at Hong Kong,
so that these lorchss, being native owned, can
choose their own market and select some less grasp-
ing and extortionate port. The state of our trade
with China is, therefore, highly satisfactory, and
there seems little ground for the discontent and
uneasiness expressed by some honourable members,
who averred we had spent blood and treasure in
enforcing unprofitable treaties. The opening of
such channels for commerce may tend, we may
hope, to the gradual civilisation of the Chinese, and
to tranquilizing their internal provinces. When
it is clearly ascertained by experience that peace is
more profitable than war or rebellion, all parties
will soon discover that their inclinations correspond
with their interests.

must be constructed either of iron or clothed with
iron. If the latter course is adopted, there can be no
difficulty about the matter, for any thickness of
armour-plating can be fixed on the exterior of the
granite face by the aid of double T ended angle fram-
ing, end the interstices could be filled with sand to
prevent any damage to the granite by the blow of an
enemy's shot. This sand backing would also lessen
the vibration of the armour plate on being struck,
and would afford space for the removal of any
damaged armour plate, and the fixing of a sound
one in its place without disturbing the granite
frame of the fort. On the Noman the contractor's
circular staging has just been commenced. It will
be fully two years before the foundations of the fort
there can be completed.
There is one fort now just taken in hand by Mr
Leather, at no great distance from the Horse and
Noman, which, although it is included in the " Isle
of 'Wight Defences," is really a marine fort, and
must be looked upon as one in the group of the Spit.
head defences. This will be erected on the sandy
spit which runs out towards St. Helen's Roads, on
the south side of the entrance to the shallow har-
bour of Brading, the very spot where this fort will
stand being the silted-up sand and shingle which
covered up by tidal and wind action the works com-
menced by Sir Walter Raleigh for the protection
and extension of Brading Harbour. The fort will
be of an oval form, of 120 ft. in length, and about
190 ft. in breadth, and built of granite. A ring of
caissons will be sunk in the sand, after the manner
of those used in the formation of the Thames Em-
bankment, and within this ring will be formed the
foundation for the fort. The caissons will afterwards
be filled in with concrete and become a permanent
outer protective circle for the work.

Spanish Bishop of Seo de Urgel, under whose pro-

town. The inhabitants were then summoned, and
the obnoxious volumes burnt in their presence by

the bishop's own hand. The lottery brings annually
a large sum into the public treasury, and the prizes
are payable to bearer on the day following the draw-

coming months. The current quotations are obtained
without difficulty, where anything like a reason-
able delivery is guaranteed. Should the supply of
vessels be adequate the collieries are likely to be
fully employed at least for some time. House coal
remains without any material change. The iron
trade retains its increased vitality, and buyers are
sending in their specifications with readiness.
Rails are quoted £7 to £7 10s, free on board, and
and bars £7 to £7 ss. Coke is ia moderate re-
quest, and the patent fuel works are in full employ.
DUNDEE, 6th.—Privately the demand for flax
was very limited to-day, and prices are ratlaer,weak.
A considerable quantity was put up to auction to-
day, and about half of what was offered found
buyers, but at low prices, the remainder being with-
drawn for more money. Fine tow is held pretty
firmly, but common qualities can be bought cheap.
Frilly 3,000 bales of jute were put up to public sale
here to-day, and more than two-thirds of the quans
tity was sold, but the prices realised were consi-
derably below the nominal market rates. There is
almost nothing doing by private sale, as spinners
look for still lower prices. The demand for yarns
was entirely consumptive to-day, and the business
done was at rather easier rates than before. Goods
suitable for the American market were in more re-
quest to-day than for weeks past, and considerable
transactions are reported. Other fabrics are in
moderate demand, and manufacturers are still kept
well supplied with orders, but they are now willing
to book them at rather lower prices than when
things were brisker.
LEICESTER, ith.—There is continued activity in
the hosiery trade ; all branches except the glove re-
main in a healthy and satisfactory condition. There
is plenty of employment in the country districts.
Yarns are firm, and high rates are realised, spin-
ners being well engaged. There is not much alte-
ration in the wool market, which continues quiet,
but material is commanding high prices.

NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—The lace trade generally is

quiet, but not more so than is usual at this time of
the year. A little is doing for the autumnal demand
for the German markets and for France. Mechlin
quillings keep in request. In plain stiff nets there
is still very little doing. There is a tolerable
amount of business doing in black silk laces and
narrow edgings, while there is very little or no im-
provement in the demand for bilk ' lechlins and silk
quillings. Stocks of all kinds of goods continue
light. In lining there is not much change; the
market generally is rather quiet. Yarns are selling
at high rates.

The Southern Confederacy.

A private letter from an English gentleman re-
siding in the Southern capital, contains the
following :

" Richmond, Va,, Aug. 5. 1854.
" I observe, either by accident or design,' you
do not say anything of 'the war.' Perhaps you
are right ; but as my situation is different I need
not be so reticent. What the opinion or intention of
the French and English may be at present I, of
course, know not, but they may rely on it that
eventually they will have to acknowledge' Southern
independence,' and may wish, some day, they had
not done it sooner. Eight millions of people, who
have ' held their own' against such odds and ap-
pliances as have been brought to bear on them,
cannot be subjugated. We all here have a sort of
feeling that peace is not for off, but, on reasoning,
no one can tell why. As for the confidence of the
people in their rulers, the rulers in their army, and
all in God and their just cause, it is unanimous and
unbounded. At least 150,000 men are within 25
miles of us, panting for the licence to plunder,'
which we know has been held out to them, yet a

stranger would walk our city, and save the sight of
a number of crippled soldiers, would scarcely see
anything to denote the situation, Certainly on no
one's face would he see the shadow 'of a fear. At
our churches he would see as unusual proportion
of worshippers in black; but on Le countenances
of those who had lost their nearest and dearest
would he see noble resignation and firm determina•
Lion to endure All sooner than give up."

had seen some powler put in their beer when she was with
them on the Tuesday, and yet had kept back that circum-
stance when she was previously called to give evidence. It
would seem that, bang present when the powder was put in
the beer, but feeling now the responsibility of her position,
she shrank from adhering to the account she gave the neigh-
bour. It might be that she only stood by while that was
being done, and probably she and the Beckenhams and
Gribbin were in the same condition of intemperance at the
time. The evidence, however, of the neighbours as to see-
ing the woman Gribbin and the husband Beckenham on the
Wednesday afternoon put Mrs Goozee in a better light, for
whatever the two women might have taken on the Tuesday
in her presence could not have caused their deaths. Looking
at the medical evidence, to the effect that there was no organ
sufficiently diseased to account for death, and that the
deaths had all the appearance of being due to cyanide of
potassium, it was for the jury to say whether it was the
cause of death. If they were of that opinion it would be
for them to say under what circumstances it was taken.
The evidence on that point was very meagre. The husband
was a person of weak intellect, and that of the witness
Goozee was hardly reliable Probably, under all the circum-
stances, they would think it desirable to find an open ver-
dict in that respect.

The jury returned a unanimous verdict that the deceased
women, Frances Beckenham and Mary Ann Gribbin, died
from the effects of poison, but under what circumstances it
was administered there was no evidence to show.

AUSTRIA AND THE :ZOLLVEREIN.

BERLIN, SEPT. 8,

The semi-official Provinzial Correspondenz of to-
day state that commercial negotiations with Austria
will probably commence next week, and says :--
"The basis and point of departure for the nego-

tiations, nn the part of Prussia, are solely the
position with reference to her commercial policy
which Prussia has acquired by the treaty of com-
merce with France, and by the newly-established
Zollverein upon the basis of that treaty.
"It is quite impossible that this position should
be abandoned. The question entirely centres in
finding means to bring about a closer and more
beneficial connection between Austria and the
Zollverein."

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 1864.

It is well known that there is no greater mistake
of its kind than an over-haste to get rich. From
the days of the Psalmist, when he uttered the pro-
phetic warning that " It is but lost labour that ye
rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the
bread of carefulness," we have been witnessing the
tfir:etall''thf
etibris sage advice. Many men have sacri-
va,7eshealth, and not a few sink into un-
t: n consequence of the fatal tenacity
with which
devoted thtm:ey, Clung to their engagements, and
it is to mark
th,:beae. to the pursuit of gain. Sad as
and undue esartis
of independent
thus caused by the over zeal
ten times rno„ dreadful individuals, it is
to notice, the misery
brought upon those
who

their ways. It was
the d ce of caution that attend

It has truly been said that
rk was the boon
which GOD vouchsafed toour

appointment no better remedy." Trial:e given dis-
it may often be noticed that those is is true ; for
exempts them from the active and immediatel)t
neces
sity for exertion sink under the trials that others o
humbler circumstances are enabled to surrnoutf4
To be of service, however, work must be confined
within due limits. No toil that is too much pro-
longed, or conducted under trying circumstances,
can be otherwise than injurious to the health, and
by depressing the system must in the end defeat its
own object. It is a scandal to our community:that
tlio wealth which makes the country the emporium
of the world is, in some measure, the calm of the
evil. It is a cruel thing to trade oa the strergth
and spirits of the poor; their hec,lth is their capi•
tat, and when that is expended they are forlorn
indeed. The evil results of overwork have been
sketched by a master-hand, and the words so for-
cibly uttered, in a burst of honest indignation, are
still familiar in our ears, though for many- a year
he who penned theta has been called away from
this Beene—

"It is not linen you're wearing out,

May it nut be said that now is the ac-
cepted tilnP, and that they who neglect
the opportunity and disregard the warnings
so plentifully given to them will have much to

call attention to the subject, for the sake of those
who may Do ignorant of the extent and nature of
the evils that burn:n-4nd the unhappy beinge
