* This was the first year after the duty was reduced from
12s. 7 2-sd. to ss. &l. per Imperial gallon. This reduction of
duty being known six months before it was to take place at sth
January, the dealers allowed themselves to get quite out of
stocks, both of Rum and also of Gin ; and as there was plenty
of Rum to be got at once, a great deal was taken out of bond
immediately after sth January, 1826, while the stocks of Corn
Spirits to make Gin was small at sth January, 1P26, and could
only be supplied as the distillers could manufacture them.
This, in House of Commons Paper, No. 211, of this Session,
is 3,302,143 gallons, from which statements have already been
made, making the increase of this year 237,287 over the pre-
ceding.

The name of PENN has long been identified
with true benevolence, and is associated with some of the
most pleasing recollections of English history. The pre-
sent representative of that amiable family—the descendant
of the founder of Pennsylvania—has given a valuable proof
of the interest he takes in the cause of humanity, by ten-
dering the use of his beautiful grounds at Spring-gardens
to the Ladies, Friends of the Charing..cross Hospital, for
the Bazaar which they are about to have to-morrow and
following days, for that institution. Mr. PENN is One of
its Vice-Presidents and kindest supporters.

TRADE.—At the Bradford market, on Thurs-
day, the brisk trade of last week was continued. The
advance in price, we are happy to say, was more generally
confirmed ; and we know, from unqiie,tionable authority,
that considerable orders were refused by the manufac-
turers, at old prices. This is the most cheering fact we
have vet had to record, in reference to the trade of the
district. Still, we atT, not over sanguine, but look with
anxiety for sonic improycmcnt in wageQ. At our market,
on Saturday last, (though not so numerously attended by
buyers,) considerable business was done. In some articles
an improvement in price was obtained, but others remained
stationary. From Huddersfield, however, our accounts
are not so flattering. The market, on Tuesday, did not
realise the anticipations which had been formed from the
improvement of former weeks. The business of the retail
dealers is at the lowest ebb. One correspondent says--•
t, The situation of the shopkeepers generally, is beyond
precedent disheartening, whatever may be said to the con-
trary by those who profit by promulgating glowing de-
seiiptioni of returning prosperity." Nothing can be fur-
ther from the truth, and the enterprising spirit of cur
townsmen is broken by the protracted gloom which
darkens the commercial horizon,—//abfax Chronicle.
