CANTON MARKET REL'ORT.

We have nothing of a satisfactory nature to comment
upon as regards imports. Even on the low quotation.
given in our last Overland we have now to notice a fall-
ing off in the prices of most articles. Notwithstanding
this, however, transactions in thirtings have been on an
extended scale. Holders have shown considerable
anxiety to realise stocks on hand, dreading that further
supplies would cause lower rates than those now current.
By the late mails we have learned that goods rule low
in the manufacturing districts of England. This would
induce additional shipments, which would operate to the
prejudice of stocks in this market. Although it is
extremely difficult to, obtain correct information of
the disturbances in kwang-se—the number or capa-
bilities of the disaffected—their power and importance,
still, as their movements are now engaging the serious
attention of the Imperial Government, it may bo ima-
gined that these malcontents, in disturbing the general
peace of a large consuming district, exercise a very bad
effect on the general trade. That they ever will com-
mand any marked power in the district to which they
belong, or prove " a thorn" to any extent, to the
reigning dynasty, we have no belief. China is seldom
without a petty disturbance of . this nature on its sea-
board or in ita interior. If the Government does not see
it to be politic to crush such with force of arms, it can
readily, and this has been its general line of policy, pur-
chase or pension off the insurrectionists. This Kwang.se rebellion, as it is denominated, has excited attention
for some fifteen or eighteen months. Its results—what
are they? We can only see in them a bugbear to trade.
In the political part of our paper we give what informa-
tion we have been enabled to collect on this subject.
But even this, coming from high authority, we take
with caution, if not with distrust. The making or un-
making of a government in Continental Europe may be
executed in a week, but things move slower in this
quarter of the world. Paris may be, as it is said to be,
France—but Kwang.se is not China. It is said that the
disturbances in this province have an injurious effect
upon the foreign commerce, and being unable in our-
selves to give a better reason, we must, per force, fall in
with the popular one. We make these remarks in our
market report, as we deem it proper to state here that
we consider the Kwang.se rebellion has usurped a posi-
tion in the foreign political phase of which it is entirely
unworthy. Leaving it, we proceed to our general r -
marks upon the trade of last month.

IMPORTS.
Long Cloths—We have bad heavy importations of
these goods, and, by consequence, holders have forced
sales. These for till descriptions have been effected at
reduced rates, but especially is this noticeable in the
middling qualities of grey shirtings, which have &dined
in value fully 20 cents. per piece. Dealers are fully sup-
plit d, and importers bold largely. No improvement upon
prevent rates can be loelrei for for sometime. During the
month, about 55,000 pieces of grey goods, and some
15,000 pieces of white
EX have been sold.
PORTS.

Cassia—There have been no transactions during the
month. It is quoted 16 dolls. to 16 73. Bads are not
inquired for at 16 dolls.
iihubarb is scarce, and no business has been done in
it. The supply at market is of inferior quality—the
prices asked range from 25 dolls, to 50 dolls.
Sugar—For white there has been no demand. A
large business has been done in brown, 50,000 piculs
being sval to be sold at an advance of 10 to 20 cents. Per
Pinle

Silk—Of Twice. and Taysaam, the supply at market
E cal IJ. It is, hor,ever, fully with Cunton kinds, tho
nality of which is better than was looked for. The
,uo tun() s given ure—No. 1, 310 to 325 dolls.; No. 2,
.95 to 310 dolls,; ard for .No. 3, 260 to 280 dolls.
Vermillion and Quicksilver remain as last quoted, at
4t .50 dolls, and 98 dolls., without transactions.

THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER PACHA.
The telegraph announcement from Marseilles of the
loss of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Pacha in the China seas, caused a most painful de-
gree of excitement in Southampton yesterday, on ac -
count of most of her crew having relatives there. The
Pacha was an iron vessel, built by Tod, Macgregor,
and Co., of Glasgow. She was 548 tons burden, and
210 horse power, and was employed several years in
conveying the Peninsular mails. She it was who
brought home the news of the loss of the Avenger,
having been in company with that ill-fated ship be-
fore she was lost at Galita, in the Mediterranean, and
was engaged in looking after the wreck. The Pacha
left Southampton last year to run between Hong
Kong and Shangai. We have been favoured by the
Peninsular and Oriental Gympany with the names of
the crew of those of the Pacha who are connected
with this country, and who are believed to have
been in her when she was wrecktd, also where
each individual hailed from, according to the ship's
books. The following are the names:—Farqubsr
.dacqueen, commander, who hailed trom Ross; W.
Tregeur, Ist officer, Surrey ; R. S Burn, 2d officer,
Exeter; J. A. Bryce, 31 officer, Wigton ; said to be
drowned ; N. E. Fox, surgeon, Hunts; R. H. Fleet-
wood, Ist engineer, --; G. Penman, 21 engineer,
Fife; A. Thompson, 34 engineer, Fife; J. Wil-
loughby, boiler maker, London ; J. Higson, carpen-
ter, Preston ; R. Chaub, boatswain, Dorset ; R. Orton,
bead steward, Chelsea ; J. Cooper, steward, Chelsea ;
John Harper, steward, Plymouth : E. H. Dagwell,
seaman, Southampton ; A. Early, seaman, South-
ampton ; H. Wood, seaman, Deal ; J. Beckle, fire-
man, Devon ; Charles Hewlett, fireman, London ;
Geo. Tarver, fireman, Southampton; C. Rose, fireman,
Hants; R. Silverthorne, cook, Southampton; J.
Light, ordinary seaman, Ramsey; John Black, en-
gineer's servant, Dublin; G. A. Rogers, ordinary
seaman, Kent; Owen C. Edmonds, apprentice, Lon-
don ; Somerville, Helsham, Isle of Man ; Henry Ran-
dall, London. Mr. Bryce, the third officer, had
served an apprenticeship to the company, and had
married in Southampton a day or two before he sailed
for China in the ruche. The Peninsular and Oriental
Company have not lost a ship since the wreck of the
Tiber, which happened several years since. The most
distressing anxiety will prevail in Southampton until
particulars of the wreck arrive in this country to
know which of the crew have been lost and whom
saved.—Morning Paper.
