FREIGHTS.

The rate to Great Britain is as last quoted•--61.
10s. per ton to Liverpool, and 6/. to London ; but in
the interim it has been down to 6/. for the former,
and 51. 17s. 6d. for the latter port, at which engage-
ments were made ; it is now firm at the first-named
quotation. For China it has been gradually improving,
and since the last accounts came to hand on the 28:k
instant, has gone up from llrs. to Mire. per candy,
the latter having been paid yesterday for a full cargo.

EiCHANGE.

In the last two days the rate on London has fallen
from is. 11d. to is. Hid., to is. 104 d. to is. 11d.,—
the extremes in both instances being the rate for China
and local paper respectively, at six months' sight. The
decline was not generally looked for, and may again
be attributed chiefly to the large purchases of bills
made by one of our local banks. Bank and local en-
dorsed China bills are not to-day to be had at a better
rate than is to 10.1 d. per rupee.
