CHINA TRADE.

The preparations making by the merchants con-
nected with the Clyde, tnr the opening up of the
China trade, are on the most extensive scale. Yes•
sels destined exclusively for this trade are building
in the ship-building yards of Greenock and Dum-
barton, and one has been contracted for within these
few days to be laid on the stocks at Ayr, as it was
found impossible to get her built at Greenock ; and
a beautiful ship built at Quebec, has arrived in the
Clyde this season, and will be despatched for the
East Indies immediately. A number of the East
India trading vessels belonging to the Clyde ate
about to be fitted out fur this trade, and to sail in a
short time, which has given a stimulus to specula-
tions in one or two branches of the manufactures of ,!
the west of Scotland. It appears that the vast
quantity of carpetings formerly shipped from the
Clyde for the United States were re-shipped at
New York, an sent by American bottoms to Can-
ton, where the American merchants enjoyed the
privilege of trading. The carpeting will now be
sent direct from the Clyde, and from the proficiency
attained by our manufacturers, in the fabrication of
both quality of cloth and richness of figuring, not
a doubt exists but that the competition with Jona-
than► will terminate in favour of our manufactures.
In the preparations for the China trade, the sugar
lords of Glasgow seem to be considerably behind
the merchants of Greenock, Port-Glasgow, and
Rothsay; for, strange though it may appear, the
merchants of the latter port are bestirring them-
selves in the China trade speculation, being actually
building vessels for it at the present time. A hand-
some ship, belonging to this Company, will be
launched from one of the yards in Dumbarton in a
few weeks, and will be immediately despatched for
the East Indies. 'Wednesday a beautiful ship,
named the Eliza Stewart, also for the China trade,
was launched from the ship-building yard of Mr.
Steel, Greenock. The vessels about to sail from
the Clyde will be in the East just at the time
when the Company's monopoly expires.—Glasgow

CURIOUS CASE OF APOPLEXY.-A gen-
tleman has informed us that be was professionally called to
visit a young woman on Thursday last, who was taken
suddenly ill. On his arrival at her abode, he discovered
that his patient was labouring under a paroxysm of apo-
plexy, produced by the immoderate consumption of fruit.
We tnention the case as one of very extraordinary occur-
rence, as we do not remembce baying heard of a similar.
The female, we learn, is recovering.—Tipperary Free
Press.
