COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CANTON.—Business during the month has again been
more than ordinarily brisk, sales of manufactured goods
having been effected at irnprovei rates, and purchases
of tea and other produce (which have been shipped
freely), on what are considered easy terms. A peculiar
feature as regards the tea market is the excess of this
season's shipments over the amount shipped at same
period last year, being from Canton alone 1,700,000 lbs,
extra.

SHANGHAE.—This mail will take home the market re-
ports of two months. Eleven days of strong-southerly
winds kept the Island Qacen cut of part with the Shang
baa mails until tho day after the Malta left. Business
appears to have been pretty go)d there throughout the
whole of the long period, prices for imparts, however,
being generally lower than former quotations. Excess
of tea shipments over last year, at same period,
4,600,0001b5.

AmoY.—Thera has been a fair demand for manufse-
Aires at quotations named.

ing nominally at 4 Bi, but this rate, as might have beets
expented from the continued high rates ruling at Shang-

RANGEMENTS for KOSSUT
DEPARTURE FOR AMERICA.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company have placed one of their splendid steamers
at the service of Kossuth, to convey him down South-
ampton Water to emable him to embark on board the
O.ean steamer llumboldt in Cowes Reads. Kossuth
is expected at Southampton at ten o'clock on Thurs-
day morning. lie will proceed from the railway
station to the residence of the American Consul, J.
R. Croskey, Esq. After a short stay at the American
consulate, the illustrious Magyar will proceed to the
docks, and embark on board the steamer placed at his
disposal, where a splendid defamer will be provided
for him and his friends, which will be partaken of
while the vessel is proceeding down Southampton
Water. Other steamers will run from Southampton.
to Cowes in the middle of the day on Thursday,
to convey persons to see the Hungarian patriot
embark on board the Humboldt. The scene and
proceedings in the Southampton Docks on Thurs-
day will be most interesting and exciting,
owing to the great concourse of persons which is
likely to be assembled there, a concourse which, it is
expected, will not be inferior in magnitude to that
which greeted Kossuth when he arrived in this coml.
try. At the same time that Kossuth will leave the
docks the Bentinck steamer will leave the same spot
with the Indian Mail. Captain hillock, the com-
mander of the Bentinck, which is one of the largest
steamers belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, would have conveyed Kossuth to Cowes,
but owing to the immense number of passengers for
India she will have on board, she would be unable to
accommodate the large number of friends who are
anxious to accompany the Magyar hero, to see him
safely on board the Ilumbolt. Immense preparations
are making at Southampton to celebrate the departure
of Kossuth from England on his mission to the United
States. The corporation of Southampton meet to-
day to make arrangements to conduct those prepara-
tions, and to give them official sanction and guidance.
The Mayor of Southampton has returned from Lon-
don, and is indefatigable in devising
measures calcu-
lated to render the reception of Kossuth in Southamp-
ton on the day of his departure of the most cordial
and splendid description.

SHAKSPERE AND KOSSUTH,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.
Sir,—lt is written in the brief history made known
to us of Kossuth, that in an Austrian prison he was
taught English by the words of the teacher Shaks-
pere. An Englishman's blood glows with the thought
that, from the quiver of the immortal Saxon, Kossuth
has furnished himself with those arrowy words that
kindle as they fly—words that are weapons; as
Austria will know.
Would it not be a graceful tribute to the genius of
the man who has stirred our nation's heart, to pre-
sent to him a copy of Shakspere ? To do this, I
would propose a penny subscription. The large
amount of money obtained by these means, the cost
of the work itself being small, might be expended on
the binding of the volumes, and on a casket to con-
tain them.
There are hundreds of thousands of Englishmen
who would rejoice thus to endeavour to manifest
their gratitude to Kossuth for the glorious words he
has uttered among us, words that have been as pulses
to the nation.
I remain, your obedient servant,
DOUGLAS JERROLD.
