There are commercial advice's from Singapore this
morning to the 18th January. Fine cotton goods- were,
in demand, and sold well. Most woollens were dull 01
sale, principally in consequenee of the accounts that the
markets in China were not favourable. The exchange
on London was at 4.2, and bills much in demand; Ther,e.
were 18 British vessels in the harbour, most of which
were likely to have cargoes. The Chinese at SingaPers,
had resolved to present Mr. Bonham a beautifully figure,"
umbrella fur his kindness during the :period he wes.
Governor of the Straits settlements. It was to be se?'
home by an Englishman, who was about to leave we
island. The address (in Chinese), which was agreed to
at the meeting referred to, concludes thus
" All the Chinese inhabitants of Singapore think ne
your great virtues, and do exceedingly desire rer
return. They therefore unanimously, and With
sincerity, respectfully offer you 'an umbrella, eel;
broidered in superior silk, as a meraoriP
of your virtue, most fervently hoping your acceptant':
of it, not indeed as a recompense, but as a small tokJ
of the respect and attachment of us all, and as a Prer
that we do not forget you."
The commercial accounts from the United States, It:„
ceived this morning, possess but little interest. rt°
New York we learn that the exports of cotton to Furor',".
had been very extensive. In anticipation of a lag
shipment this year of timber, the trade was very brisk
all parts of British North America.
The Commissioners have rather increased their In t;
chases to-day, a- d have paid for the first time par 1°
Consols. At the present time this is the ruling 14
The premium upon Exchequer bills remains very o,fle,
at 725. to 745. The Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Pis,
duced have advanced to 1021, and India Stock to 299,
In the other English Securities there was not any 131
terial alteration this morning.
