MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE—JULY 14.
We have again to report a small supply of Wheat to Wakefield,
whilst from Ireland and other quarters the arrivals are moderate.
During the early part of the week, the trade remained in a flat, inactive
state ; since Thursday, however, there has been rather more disposition
to do business, and the same feeling (as regards Wheat and Flour) was
observable at Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday. This may partly be
attributed to the reports of a considerable fishing offin the agricultural
districts, where, it may therefore be presumed, stocks are nearly ex-
hausted ;
import of Foreign Wheat, present every inducement to their being now
as good prices, fine weather, and the probability of an early
brought forward. At this day's market we have a good business doing
in Wheat and Flour, at rather higher prices for fine fresh qualities of
each. Oats, Oatmeal and Beans are slow of sale, but are held at late
rates. The same may be said of Malt. Bonded Wheat and Flour are
again in considerable request, and 3d. to 6d. per bushel higher than at

REVIVAL .OF THE SLAVE TRADE

The Demarara papers lately received notice the arrival at
George-town andl3,rhice of the TV/titby and the Hespirus
front Calcutta, with cargoes of Hill Coolies, of whom th,
former had on board 270, and the latter 175, iaclusive of six
women and eleven children. Connected with this opening of
a new sort of traffic in human beings the house of lienley,
Dawson, and Boatel, of Calcutta, have addressed a circular to
West India planters, which, for greater publicity, they have
insetted in the public prints. In this document it is stated
that during the last two years they have "procured arwi
shipped upwards of 5,000 free agricultural labourers for our
friends in the •Alouritius," of which number 500 were for
estates in which they themselves possessed a " a direct into. and from this they take occasion to a'sert that "a
happier and more contented labouring population is sel-
dom to be met with in any part of the world than tit
Dhargas, or mountain tribes " of the East Indies. The
cost of those sent to the Mauritius is stated to have amounted
to no more than 100 rupees or 101. per man, in which are
comprised " six months advance of wages, provisions, and
water for the voyage, clothing, commission, passage, insur-
ance, and all incidental charges." The expense for the West
Indies is, of course, calculated at a larger sum, from the
greater length of the voyage, and frcrn the superior kind of
arrangements necessary for the health and comfort of the pas-
sengers.

•
Taking into account all these matters, the firm in questian
calculate the outlay (if they do not absolutely offer to con-
tract) et 210 rupees or 211. per m In, delivered in the West
Indies, six months' wages in advance, and the other neces.
saries before enumerated inclu ive. The %%hole Ate of charge
at which these labourers can be engtged and bound for five
years before embarking, is stated, comprehending all charges,
voyage out and back, clothing and victualling, at I/. 9s. 6d.
per month r the whole term to the planter, of which the
Cooly receives in the shape of wages 300 rupees fur the
five years, being 5 rupees or 10s. per month only. A copy
of the agreement, consisting of 13 articles, entered into be-
tweon the Calcutta agents and the Coolies previous to em-
barkation, is also given at length, front which, if any fair
security for its strict performance could be devised or jute.
pined, or any possible recourse existed for the unprotected
objects against the principal contracting parties so far atvuy.
or the secondary and other parties to whom transferred
or transferable, for breach of engagetneut, it would err
tainly at•p.sar that every fair precaution had been taken
in beltelf of these simple expatriated labourers. But in a
strange country, and sp.'aking only a strange language,
it is sufficiently clear teey must be at the mercy of their
employers, or rather what is infinitely worse, of their subor-
dinate agents of every class. On these and other points, the
Demerara Gazette makes various judicious reflections. In
respect to the wages, it is asked how it is probable the Coolies
will be long satisfi, d with 10s. per month, when the common
rate for able field hands in that colony ranges from 16 to 20
dollars currency per month, and for coopers, carpenters, and
sugar boilers one dollar per day, that is live or six times more
than what the Coolies in their ignorance have bound them-
selves for during a term of five years on the representa-
tions of interested persons practising on their credulity ?
The remedy suggested for this evil, as well as to guard against
the too extensive introduction of the Coolies through the
greediness' of speculators, is, that on landing they shall he
declared at liberty to choose their own service," on satisfy-
ing the importers the previous expenses of passage, &e.
The " immoral tendency" of the importation of large
bodies of males is a'so pointed out in a colony like De-
merara, now suffering from the "large excess of males Os or
females" among other labouring immigrants frotn the neigh.
bouring islands. To meet this it is proposed that " the
owners of the ship shall give bond to import, within twelve
months, an adequate proportion of females." Such provi.
sions duly enforced will do something, if not to stop the new
traffic in human beings altogether, at least to place it, under
such restraints, es to be of as little prejudice as possible to the
Coolies, as well as to the. West Indian colonies themselves,
but the traffic must be pronounced in every view of it to be
detestable. It is observed by the Demerara papers that the
supply of this description of labourers from the East Indies is
"looked upon with great suspicion by the British public," and
therefore should be the more 'cautiously encouraged there.—

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR
TIIE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)
Cuttings of Geraniums may be now placed under hand
glasses with a little bottom heat.
Seedlings of all Stove and Greenbnu.se plants may be pricked
out into small pots as fast as they come up.
Inarebing and budding may go on with any class of plants
propagated in these ways.
Greenhouse plarts generally may be propagated by euttirga.
Carnations and Piccotees, where the layers are long enough,
may be laid while in bloom, especially if there be a great
number to manage; but genorally speaking the prime pert of
the bloom may be otter before it is actually required to be done.
Bud stone fruit trees on plum stocks.
Continue to watch all plants grafted or wci iced on stocks.
and free them frora side shoots, tuckers, &c.
Propagate hardy Shrubs by layers.
Cabbages, Brocoli, Savoys, &c., may be planted I let the
ground be dug and the plants be put in immediately, if the
ground be so situate as to be too dry for this operation, t:tre
will be saved by waiting for rain.
Brocoli seed for lute crops should be sown.
