SHANGITAE, MAacit R.

Since my last, there has been another stoppage, the second
principal native merchant here, and although his liabilities
are not nearly of so large an amount as the preceding failure,
it must have an increased and powerful tendency to rarifv
the trade at this emporium, and cause our business to
be carried on through the agency of a number of small
traders.

This new state of affairs will, of course, have a depreSsing
influence upon the trade of this port, until it fairly comes
into operation, and until the confidence of the tea and silk
men is established in the working of the system, which must
sooner or later ensue. Strange to say, hwever, notwith-
standing the difficulties in which they have been so recently
involved (cases of extreme hardship to many of their num-
ber), the producers from the interior pertinaciously. ad-
here to the old established principle of extensive hong%
and object to their business being thrown into numerous
channels.

Tea—Very little doing, except in greens, in which there
have been lately a few operations et comparatively high
rates.

Silk—Little really first-rate remains in the city, but there
is no doubt that a moderate quantity might be (gained from
the interior by the purchaser paying for it in Sycee or iu ap-
preciated imports, say good assortments of Spanish striped and
long ells. This export still continues most difficult of ex-
change, so far as our staple imports are concerned.
Middling Taysaam may be quoted 270 dole. to 310 dols.
for Sycee ; Tsatlee being SO dots. to 100 dole. in advance of
these rates; 12,000 bales (all kinds) have already been•ship-
ped from this port, and we may possibly, before the year's
export is completed, find some 3,000 more, making the total
shipments for this season Moons, ► 000 bales, more than half
of which will be Tsatlee:
Opium—Patna 695 dols. t 07931 ; payment in dollars.
Really first class Malwa held for 770 dots., but at that value
not in requisition. Holders of the new drug have fixed a
high prico upon it to enable them to clear off old stocks, but
as the supply has become extended by the arrival of the
Island Queen and Denia, we shall, in all probability, expe-
rience a decline from present rates.
Sycee—Most difficult of obtainment even for payment of
duties, and then only at premium ranging from 8 to 1°
per
cent.

FREIGHTS.
61. per ton, and not at all likely to recede, as tonnage is
much wanted.

CHUSAN, MARCH 30.
Sales of Patna have been made here of late at 710 dollars,
and I suppose it will recede to GBO dollars. There is a good
deal lying at Woosung under limit of 725, clear ofevery-
thing ; and as it has been there some time, the desourraga
upon it will not be small.
There is no Scene here whatever, and none at Shanghae.

IBRAHIM PACIIA.—Mr. Sheriff Laurie had an inter-
view with Ibrahim Paella before he left for the north, to invite his
Ilighnees to the Sheriffs' dinner, at Greenwich, on the 24th inst., to
meet her 31ajesty's judges, who have appointed that day. His liigh-
aces. through his interpreter, expressed the great honour he felt in
being waited upon by the oftleers of the first municipal City in the
world, and said, as he intended to return to town before that day.
nothing should prevent his being present on so interesting an ocea-
-1 sion. The Lord Mayor ii invited as one of the guests on the ecca-
eon, and the Ministers are expected to join the party, w-ho are to
embark in the City slate barge from Blackfliara Pier. and ill are tq
