" Finding a great- disposition among our friends in Glas-
gow to commence a direct trade with this country, we em.
barked from London with a brig fully loaded with dry goods
to our address, and such is the speculative disposition of our
friends, that another brig is now on her passage from Liver-
pool, following us. These are all flattering prospects enough
were there an opening for trade here ; but we are sorry to
say, that from present appearances, there is little hope of our
being able to dispose of these cargoes to advantage
" The resources of this country have been over-rated at home,
and although, taking it in its extent, it is naturally rich, yet
these riches are still in embryo, and likely so to remain, while
the people continue of the same debased and indolent habits
they at present possess.
" The only hopes of improvement appear to be by the intro-
duction of industrious foreigners; but the illiberal manner they
are looked upon, and the obnoxious laws existing against them,
will always he a bar to their settlement with advantage to them.
selves or to the country.
" What a moral people you are in Jamaica, when compared
to the debaucheries of the Republic, particularly in gaming
and intrigue.
" It is hoped that our Commissioners at Bogota will be able
to remove the shackles at present existing against her foreign
commerce, or every prospect of establishing a direct trade, mu-
tually advantageous, must be relinquished for the present.
" Carthagena itself is a fine city, rather cool than otherwise,
considering the latitude, and has an excellent harbour. It is
also strongly fortified, tolerably well garrisoned, and is consi-
dered healthy. Its advantages, however, are by no means favour-
able in a commercial point of view, being situated in a part of
the country lying entirely waste to an inimensedistance, and hav-
ing a difficult communication with the river Magdalena, the
great outlet for the interior, and consequently for the produce
of the country. The only articles brought in from the neigh-
bourhood are hides and .'fustic, of an interior quality. The
latter is current at twelve, and the former at two dollars, and
even these cannot be produced in any quantity. Flour and pro.
visions, and lumber of all kinds, are in no demand, and the
place is overstocked with dry goods."

FaitAct INTREPIDITY.-11 dashing young man
was brought before Mr. DYER, the Sitting Magistrate at
Marlborough-street, on Wednesday last, charged by Miss L.
Denham, (laughter of Mr. Denham, Printer and stationer,
189, Regent-street, with stealing two valuable books. It ap-
peared in evidence, that the prisoner went into the shop, about
half-past nine, on the 2Gth of May, and requested Miss D. to
show him some Albums, as he wished to purchase one as a pre-
sent for a Lady; ho made choice of one, for which lie agreed
to pay 21. 75., but seeming to recollect himself as he was taking
out the money, said he wanted a purse, which was in the fur-
ther corner of the window, and while Miss Denham was in the
act of reaching it, he ran off with two Albums, and although
he was instantly pursued, he got clear off'. Search was imme-
diately made but he was not heard of till Tuesday evening,
when Miss Denham was taking a walk with her two younger
sisters, she met him in Cleveland-street, she immediately re-
cognized him, took bold of his arm, and accused him of the
theft, and solicited several persons passing to assist in detain-
ing him ; but no one seemed willing to render her any assist-
ance ; she by the greatest exertion got him into a butcher's
shop, the master of which ordered her out on pain of being sent
to the watch-house, the young man immediately made an effort
to make his escape, but Miss D. again seized him and detained
him without any assistance for some time, when Scofield, the
Police Officer, came up and conveyed him to the watch-house;
lie was remanded till Saturday, when the following cases were
brought against him. Mr. and Mrs. Dolby, of Wardour-street,
swore to his having been at their shop on the let of May, and
ordered 15 numbers of plays to be looked out against the even-
ing. When he called, he requested to have another number,.
and while Mrs. Dolby was in the act of getting it, be ran off'.
with the books. Mrs. Clifton, of Wardour-street, also swore.
to the prisoner being the person who robbed her of a pairof
handsome razors, three weeks since, in a similar manner. The
prisoner is about 18 or 19, very fashionably dressed, and ap-
peared quite indifferent to his situation : he was • remanded till
Wednesday for another examination.

Mr. ROBERT GOURLAY, who made the assault
on Mr. BROUGHAM, in the lobby of the House of
Commons,remains confined in the prison-room of
the House, in the custody of two messengers. lie
was visited on Saturday by Doctors MUNROE and
THURTELL, and they, after the meeting of the
House on Saturday, had an audience' of the
Speaker in the Speaker's retiring chamber. Mr.
G. had, on Saturday, prepared a petition to be
presented to the House but it was deemed advis-
able to postpone the business till the meeting of
the House this day. The conversation of Mr. G.
ever since his confinement leave little doubt as
to the state of his mind ; but it might be preju-
dicial to him to relate them now.
