LEITH.—The shipping trade here in every de-
partment still continues remarkably good. Besides tho
large teaship which has just discharged her cargo, we
have a vessel in from Virginia with 450 hhds. tobacco,
the finest quality that has been imported for the last 30
years. The grain trade, too, keeps up its briskness not-
withstanding the advanced period of the year, and
the rise of the Custom-house duties. A vast number of
foreign grain-laden ships are still in our docks. The
duties received upon grain, for the last few days, have
been chiefly upon barley and beans. Holders of bonded
wheat are waiting fur another turn in the scale of duties;
for, from the immense quantity cleared at the low rate,
the market is so glutted that an immediate demand is:
not wanted.
