The opinion still continues to be on the increase, not-
withstanding the doubts of some of our Contemporaries,
that a satisfactory progress has been made in the ar-
rangement of a fresh treaty between this country and
the Brazils. How ardently such a consummation is
wished for by our merchants -.teed not be repeated. M
the terms be liberal on both aides an immense impetus
will be given to the export of British manufactures. The
subject is one of all -engrossing interest. The arrival of
the packet, which is al most hourly expected, will no
doubt set the question at rest.
At a public sale of teas which took place yesterday,
the produce of Uprzer Assam, it is pleasing to state that
the quautities (offered generally showed an improve-
talent in the growth, the manufacture, and the
condition of the leaf. Some good parcels realised
from 2A. 9d. to 3s. lid. per lb. It properly conducted,
sad rft. sag'e economy is practised, the supply from the
Indian plantations must become a most important
tr tide of importation to Great Britain.
We have not heard of any late colonial arrivals this
baorninr:.
There is a public sale here of American hay on
Friday, and which is expected to excite considerable
attention, many of the leading salesmen and cattle-
Eroprietars having intimated their intention to attend.
he same parties, Reeling and Hunt, who have so in-
dustriously introduced foreign provisions after over-
eo!ning a great deal of popular prejudice, will submit
this novel importation to the public, and we shall say
nothing of its quality until we hear what prices it
realises, although described to us as a good sample.
The quantity is not large, but we may expect more.
