COMMERCIAL REMARKS. _ _ _

COTTON.—Prices have generally advanced with the
dealers, and the foreign holders are demanding high prices for
the small parcels that remain; but, upon the whole, there is
not much doing in the article. Cotton Yarn dull.
laoli keeps in steady demand.
LEA D. —A considerable supply has been recently received
from the native mines, which materially interferes with the
s plc of the foreign metal, and has prevented an advance in the

price.
Lorin CLoTts.—White and grey continue to be inquired
after, and the price is gradually recovering from the late de-
pression ; few in first hands.
Orivm.—The operations of the week have been chiefly at
Wampona, where the demand has been considerable, particu-
larly for the Bombay drug,. Good M.ilwa, from its scarcity,
finds ready purchasers at 460 dollars per chest, and inferior
at rates nearl prop, rtiona.e. There are sellers of new Pstna
at 410 dollars, and even 400 dolls at Lentin. Of new
B nar, s there is very little in the markt•t. Lentin prices, 385
dollars to 390 per chest. The old Bengal Drug has not been
much inquired after lately. Turkey is extremely dull of sale.
WOOLLENS remain pretty steady, and a few sales have been
made
CANTON-The new crop is expected to be brought to market
in about a fortnight. The following are the penalties for
buying and smoking opium:—
" If an officer of Government buys and smokes opium, he
is to be dismissed the service, to wear the collar for two
months, and be beaten with one hundred blows. Soldiers
and '.;le people are to be punished with one hundred blows
and wear the collar fer one mouth. Eunuchs in the Impe-
rial Palace are to wear the collar for two months, and sent to
the most distant frontier as slaves to the soldiers.

( From the Pekin Gazette, 2d Allen, 2d Day ( Feb. 25 )
The Imperial will has been received. I order that Kwo
Se-ping be immediately strangled ; this criminal has auda-
ciously dared to form a connection with the outside fo:eigners
at the important passes of the Sea Frontier ; he opened a
shop, stored it with opium, and seduced peop'e to buy and
smoke ;t ; he has been known to be engaged in this way for
five years; but the former Governors have been negligent, and
not one of them have examined and managed the affair with
regard to truth, and hereafter, with reference to the offences
of buying and selling opium, and opium smoking-houses, the
criminal must be seized, and punished.
A correspondence has taken place between the Hong mer-
chants and the creditors of the Hing-tae- Hong, relative to the
proposal of the Hong merchants to liquidate the claims upon
tnem, owing to the failure of the Hing-tae-Hong. This they
propose to do in the space of nine years, with which the credi-
tors are not willing to comply with.

The Batavier has arrived, bringing the Dutch Papers of
the 2d October. In respect to political news they are void of
interest.
Since the early part of the morning some activity has taken
place, both in the British and Foreign Markets, with an
apparent disposition to a further rise ; to-morrow a great
number of commercial bills become due, and we have so
doubt that the greater part of them will be duly honoured, as
up to the present hour we do not hear of any difficulties in
commercial affairs.
