last night :—]

FRAN CE.

In the National Assembly yesterday the debate on
the vote of censure on the Ministers commenced, but
had not concluded when the post left.
'We read in the Pays—" The President of the Re-
public has received from several members of the As-
sembly, who hitherto have shown themselves hostile to
his person, marks of sympathy which have sensibly e-
fected him. Some of these representatives have been to
him to assure him that the hostility of the Assembly
would calm down. The President replied with much
sangfroid, 'lf the Assembly has any fears for its
sefety, it can protect itself by any number of troops
that it pleases, and give the command of them to the
General of the Chamber. But from the moment
when the Assembly shall have placed itself in a state
of hostility to the chief of the Executive Government,
I will respond to it by an act of confidence and re-
conciliation. I will send away from the Elysee every
guard aad every sentinel, and will confide myself to
the protection of the population of Paris."

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1851.

Cotton Piece Goods—Grey Shirtings—ln our last
curanaary we reported that the feeling for the lower qua-
lities, say 48 to 60 reeds, was still unfav„uratle. This,
coupled with the eagerness which holders displayed as
already mentioned, led to a decline of about la. to 2a.
I per piece on some inferior made goods. The better sorts
of all reels have maintained their position, and, generally
speaking, we do not see reason to disturb previous quo-
tations. The transactions last month have been nearly
equal to those of October, embracing all qualities; but
the imports have been somewhat in excess. This month's
sales already have been very extensive, one transaction
alone amounting to 40,350 pieces, chiefly of 54 and 66,
with a quantity cf 72 reeds.
White shirtings sold to a fair extent last month with
reference to the transaction in October; a large portion
of the sales, however, embraced the heavier reeds suita-
ble for winter consumption. Prices on the whole have
fluctuated a little, rising in some instances and falling in
others, according to the make and finish of the goods.
We are therefore obliged to lower our quotations gene-
rally to a trifling amount.
White figured shirtings have become very dull as the
stock in second hands still hangs heavy, and notwith-
standing the extreme lightness of the supply, priceshave
given way fully 4 annas per piece on those that were cur-
rent when the last mail left.
Grey Jacconets—ln our last summary we mentioned
that in consequence of the frequent interruption of bu-
siness by native holidays the sales of this fabric had
been limited ; but since then increased activity in the
demand, particularly for the lower qualities, has led to
large transactions, making the entire quantity placed
last month nearly double the sales of the preceding
month. The supply also has not been excessive, still
we have not noticed any ehange in value, which con-
tinues the same as before.
White Jacconets—The transactions in this fabric last
month were upon nearly the same scale as in the pre-
ceding month, and the demand continues very fair, but
the somewhat ready manner in which holders have
been bringing forward s:ock, coupled with the heavy
imports, have had the effect of causing a decline of
about 2a. per piece on all qualities.
White Cambrics—The moderate arrivals of this fabric
has induced buyers to give it increased attention, and
the sales last month were considerably in excess of those
which took place in October, still prices have undergone
no alteration.
Gray Madapolams were imported largely last month,
but the demand on the cther hand continued steady; a
fair amount of sales were effected at previous prices.
White Madapolams come under the same observations
as the preceding article. The arrivals last month were
considerably larger than in October; but the sales at
the same time were comparatively extensive. The stocks
however, are ample, and ieep prices down.
White mulls have coma into very active demand, and
although the bulk of the sales last month consisted of
the better descriptions far the supply of the up-country
spring trade, the lower qualities have been sought after
latterly, as the Caubul dealers have commenced making
their appearance, and prices have experienced a further
improvement notwithstanding the amplitude of the sup-
ply. The transactions last month were nearly three
times as extensive as they were in October, and pro-
mise to be much larger during the present month.
White twills sold to a larger extent last month than
in the month before, but the supply at the same time
having been excessive, prices have a downward ten-
dency, although we cannot as yet alter previous quota-
tions.

Book Muslims have been freely imported of late; but
the demand is improving, and the sales last month were
considerable, in some instances at an improvement of
about 6 pis per piece on the favourite tickets. This
month the transactions have already been very large,
and if they continue on the same scale, the market will
soon be left without stock in first hands. The advices
from Rangoon are much the same as before, in regard
to the restrictive measures of the Burmese authorities
against the exportation of silver; but for books they are
somewhat better.
Lappets—The demand for these goods is daily be-
coming more active, and the transactions last month were
extensive in comparison to those which took place in
October; but the importsr on the other hand, being also
very heavy, prices have been prevented from experiencing
a more material improvement, although the stock before
the recent arrivals was very moderate, particularly of
Spot, which has formed the bulk of the sales. Assorted
has been taken, but upon comparatively a limited scale.
They will, however, be more largely wanted now that
the Caubul dealers have commenced arriving, and we
hope to see a further advance in the price of all descrip-
tions before long.
Chintzes—The stocks of all kinds of chintz continue
small; but the demand for up-country has not been so
active lately as before; for Calcutta consumption, how-
ever, the inquiry has been steady, particularly for neu-
tral setts and stripes, the prices of which have advanced
to the extent of 4 to 5 and 1 to 2 annas per piece res-
pectively. Transactions on the whole were limited last
month, but the supply at the same time was also short
to some extent. Cambric chintz has been selling mode-
rately, and in furniture chintz there was a very small
business done, as it was very scarce. Bengal setts and
stripes have not altered in value, but neutral pines seem
to be lower.
Woollens have continued in steady demand, but the
transactions on the whole were limited last month, as
compared with those in October, and the imports being
heavy, prices have been kept down. We quote them at
Co.'s as. 11 to Co.'s rs. 1 per yard for low; Co.'s ra. 1-4
to 2 for middling; and Co.'s rs. 2-4 to 2-12 for fine.
There have been some few sales also of the superfine
qualities at prices ranging from Co.'s rs. 3 to 4 per yard.
Flannels have been selling upon a fair scale, but
prices have not undergone any alteration, and may be
qucted as before. Say for low Co.'s as. 8 to 10 per
yard; middling Co.'s as. 12 to 14; fine Co.'s rs. 1 to 1-4.
Turkey Red Goods continue to occupy a very favour-
able position and stocks of Turkey red twills and cloths
remain very light. Of the former the sales have been
upen a fair scale, and the demand is still active, par-
ticularly for 8-4 widths. In the latter the business last
month was not quite so extensive as in October, but
prices are very firm, and as holders seem perfectly sen-
sible of the importance of not pressing sales, we are not
without hopes of seeing an improvement in the value of
both twills and cloth before long.
Turkey Red Garments have undergone little change,
being in good demand, but stocks being very light, sales
to a small amount only are reported to have taken place
last month, at former prices of Co.'s as. 4 to 6 per yard
for 7.8 red grounds. 9-8 s and black grounds are not in
the market.
6-4 Turkey Red Printed Malls have improved both in
demand and value, and the transactions that took place
last month show an advance of 4 annas per piece, bring-
ing:our quotations up to Co.'s rs, 5-12 to 7-12 per piece of
20 yards. This improvement we attribute to the scarcity
of Turkey Red Garments.

Itss inclination to purchase, but this is always the case
when people are in the expectancy of an in-coming mail,
and aro busy with an out-going one, The interval be-
tween the arrival of the Bombay express, which only
brought a few general letters, and the arrival of the
Haddington, which had all the private correspondence
of the merchants, has been unusually great on the pre-
sent occasion—full three days, during which, of course,
shippers remained in suspense.
PRODUCE.

Sugar has continued to be an object of great attrac•
tion, but in consequence of a great paucity of supply,
the shipments last month to Great Britain show a
deficiency of 16,477 maunds, as compared with those
in October. Benares qualities have been greatly wanted,
but the arrivals have been so scanty, that they have
not been able to keep up a stock of more than about
five thousand bags sound in the bazaar for the past three
weeks. The consequence has been that small parcels
of really good white have been taken off with eagerness
at high prices, the moment they have been placed on the
market. There has hardly been any of first quality
available; but third and fourth have been comparatively
more abundant, and have also been taken with much
spirit at extreme figures. In this scarcity of Benares,
the attention of shippers has been to a considerable de-
gree directed to Doma which has commenced arriving,
and to Gurputty, and some business has been done in
them, but the supply of these has also been wholly in-
adequate to the demand. The price of the former has
advanced about 6a. per maund for the better qualities;
the latter remains much the same as before. We have
not heard of any extensive operations in Khaur.
Vacuum Pan—The demand for this class of sugar has
throughout been most animated at an advance of 6 to 8
annas per maund, and this to on an advancing exchange.
This great confidence displayed by buyers would appear
to be warranted from the very excellent position of the
article in the home market ; and looking at the fact
that the export of grainy sugar this year falls conside-
rably below an average, it is more than likely that the
result will justify present comparatively high prices.
Saltpetre—ln consequence of the existing scarcity of
sugar, this article has commanded a large share of the
attention of speculators; and although latterly there has
not been much done on English account, the transac-
tions previously were extensive, and the shipments of the
last month show an excess of 41,728 maunds over those
of October. For France and America there has also
been a large business done, particularly on the latter ac-
count. Chuprah and Allygunge have been taken most,
and only a small quantity of other descriptions, but all
at about former prices with one or two exceptions, in
which an advance is visible.

Whilst on the subject of saltpetre we may mention
that the mail just arrived has brought intelligence that
some supplies of the article had arrived in Liverpool
from Boston, United States, in October, and more was
expected in consequence of the glutted state of the
American markets from the immense quantities that have
gone forward from this for some time past. This will
no doubt interfere with the direct shipment from this to
England and disarrange the calculations of importers at
home. This year, from Ist May last to the end of Oc-
tober, the exports have amounted to 77,053 maunds.
Rice—The business done in this article last month has
been upon very nearly the same scale as before. It would
have been in all probability much larger, as there was an
active speculative demand for the article before the mail
arrived; but the supply has been very limited, and has
consisted almost entirely of inferior qualities. Prices
remain without change.
Raw Silk has continued in most spirited demand; but
the absence of anything like desirable qualities has
()prated greatly against purchases, and the shipments
last month were a little more than one-third of those in
October.

6-4 Dyed Mulls have also been in better request, but
their price has experienced no advance, and may be
quoted as before at Company's rupees 5-8 to 6 per piece
of 20 yards.
Turkey Red Figured Cloth continues in muoh the
same position as before, and has been selling occa-
sionally at former prices of Company's as. 4-3 to 4-6 per
yard for 7-8, and Company's as. 6-6 to 5-9 per yard for
9S. The imports are very trifling.
Bandanoe Handkerchiefs are worth nominally Com-
pany's rs. 1.13 to 1-14 per dozen.
METALS.

Iron—The demand for this metal has fallen off ma-
terially of late, as the transit of heavy articles to the in-
terior by country boats has become difficult and tedious
by the closing of the Bhaugeerutty. The imports too
have been very heavy, and prices, under the influence of
h e
given way to the extent of 2a.
to 4s:.
percircumstances,
maund
on havee a
r l y
all descriptions, except,hoops,
t n
which, being much wanted for the securing of indigo
chests, and Government having advertised for tenders
for their supply for upwards of 30,000 chests of opium
of the ensuing season, have risen nearly Ir. per maund
on previous quotations.

Steel has declined about 4 annas per maund, and is
not worth more than Co.'s rs. 7 to 7-4 per factory
maund.

Silk Corahs—Tho transactions in these goods were
likewise limited from the same cause which operated in
restricting the purchases of the preceding article,
namely, the absence of the finer qualities. The demand
is very active, and prices remain unaltered.
Oil Seeds have been taken extensively, and the ship•
meets of last month exceed those of October materially,
but prices have undergone no alteration.
Shell Lac and Lac llye—Several parcels of both ar-
ticles having arrived, transactions to a fair extent have
taken place, particularly in the former, but at prices that
show no variation from previous quotations. We have
not heard of any sales of the known European marks,
but we believe there has been some business done in
them, which has not come to our knowledge.
Safflower has been in good demand, but the absence
of the finer descriptions has kept transactions within
very narrow limits; prices are much the same as before,
but for several kinds they are almost nominal, as there
has been no supply of such in the market.
Jute—Notwithstanding the rather unfavourable posi-
tion of the home market, a slight decline in price led to
extensive transactions last month, at Company's rupees
10 to 11 per bale, according to quality.
Hides—A large business has been done in this article,
consisting principally of slaughtered and dead green cow,
and some dead green buffalo at previous prices.
Cotton has continued in active demand for the China
market, and the supply having become more abundant,
several large transactions have been reported.
We heard of no transactions in Agra or Cutchera.
Opium—ln consequence of the gambling transactions
that are going on amongst the Marwaree speculators,
the market is rather in an uncertrin state, and flactu.
ates three or four times a day, rising in one instance
and falling in another, but not to any groat extent.
The object is obviously to force prices up. The pre-
sent quotations are as near as possible for Patna, Com-
pany's rupees 984 to 985 per chest; Bonares, nominally,
Company's rupees 990. Bargains for the next sale
have been made at Company's rupees 984 to 985 per
chest.

Copper,having experienced a further decline, the trans-
actions last month were larger than those in October,
whilst imports were comparatively less extensive.. With
the exception of Japan, which remains the same as
before, and nails, which are scarce and high, all other
kinds are from 8 annas to 1 rupee lower than they were
when the last mail left.

Indigo—The season has fairly opened, bat as yet the
greater part of the sales have been effected by private
contract, taking into account, of course, the largo quan-
tity sold in October.
The first public sale of the season took place on Mon-
day, the 2d inst. The second was held yesterday after-
noon, and on both these occasions 1,055 chests (the
whole quantity offered) were disposed of with great
spirit at an advance of fully 5 rupees per maund.
The third sale will take place on Monday next, at the
New Mart, and the fourth on Tuesday, at the Old Mint
Mart, but the quantity to be offered at each sale has not
yet been declared.
In the meantime we may remark that we have heard
of offers having been made for the only large parcel of
fine indigo that is now available, and should not be sur-
prised to find they are accepted before the departure of
the Express. The market has an upward tendency, and
there is every probability of a further advance if the
txchango becomes easier, as the French have scarcely
made any purchases yet, for until the receipt of the
steamer's letters yesterday they wore without orders.
Exports of indigo last month :—To Great Britain, 575
chests or 1,884 cads.; North America, 10 chests or 26 mds.

Freights—Tee rates continued unaltered for some days
after the departure of the last mail, but business alto-
gether was evidently slack; subsequently, however, the
growing scarcity of country produce caused a material
check in shipments, and the freight on sugar to Liver-
pool declined to the extent of 2s. 6d per cwt. For seeds
the demand for tonnage remained good; indeed, at the
commencement of the month an advance of 2s. 6d. was
established on this article to London. On the arrival of
the Express, consignees made a stand for higher rates
on sugar to both ports, but they have been unsuccessful
as yet in securing any advance, and on the whole the
rates to-day are from 2-6 to 5 per ton under those cur-
rent when the last mail left, bringing our quotations
down to 21. 17s. 6d. for sugar to London, and 31. to
Liverpool; saltpetre 2/. 12s. 6d. to London, and 21. 17s.
6d. to Liverpool, and other articles in proportion. For
detailed particulars we refer to our freight list in the
usual place.
Exchange—The market for the present Mail opened
at 2.2 i per company's rupee for credit, and 2-2 i for do-
cument bills ; but on the receipt of the news by the
Express, of a large amount of funds coming out in
Company's drafts and bullion, drawers became more
firm, and the business closed yesterday at an to a
below these quotations. Bank post-bills have sold at
2-1 i to to 2-4 i, according to amount. On China some
draughts have been negotiated at 223 to 225 per 100
dollars, and bills very scarce.

Spelter is beginning to feel a re-action, and although
the imports lAst month were heavy, sales have been
effectedat Co.'s rs. 6 la. per factory mannd under the in-
fluence of diminished supplies of China brass coin.
Tin Plates of the lighter kinds have declined to the
extent of about 2r. per box, whilst the heavy have be-
come scarce and dear.

rupees 88 to 89 per 100 bazaar maunds for butter. No
commons have been imported for some time.

annas 5-6 to 6 per bazaar maund for steam; Company's
annas 9 to 9-6 for smithy; and Coke, Company's annas
10 to 12 per bazaar maund.

TORT/.
Our market for country produce has continued to pre-
sent the most animated aspect under the influence of the
accounts that have been received from home for some
time by each succeeding mail of the progressive advance
in the value of most of our leading articles of export.
The advicos just received to the 24th of October are of
a still more favourable character, as they represent the
existence of a variety of circumstances that have tended
greatly to lessen the doubts we had entertained of the
stability and continuance of the improvements that have
been going on. We have already stated that the pros-
pects of the harvest, and of the abundance and cheapness
of food, were no longer involved in uncertainty, whilst
an increase of consumption of colonial products was
calculated upon with confidence, from the fact that our

operatives were in fall employment; that our mills and
looms in Manchester, and other manufacturing districts
were in active operation, and that money was daily be-
coming more plentiful, and discounts were low. To those
primary elements of a prosperous trade, we have to add
the deficiency of the supply, which, in the instance of
several important staples, was below that of several
preceding years, and mould most certainly operate in
preventing large quantities being pressed on the market.
The transactions here, however, have been in some mea-
sure checked by the denuded state of our bazaar, where,
with the solitary exception of saltpetre, the stocks have
not only been small, but they have consisted principally
of. qualities that have afforded the speculator but a poor
field tor selection; but at this season of the year more
abundant supplies could hardly be expected. Had it not
been fur this circumstance, we should moot certainly

Canton, Nov. 26.—The scarcity of money, and high
rates of exchange, have had the effect of checking an
otherwise favourable market; in the early part of the
month unfavourable news from the disturbed districts
had also a prejudicial effect.
Shanghae, Nov. 13.—The high rate of exchange has
here induced large sales of imports at low prices, in order
to avail of the favourable remittance; and the scarcity of
money has been a further inducement to diminish stock
in first hands.

been done during the month.
