TRADE REPORT.
(From the Englishman.)
Our commercial operations have, during the past
month, been characterised by their usual languor at this
period of the year. The last mail, bringing the news of
the alteration in the sugar duties, has caused a con-
siderable derangement in that trade, and has created great
anxiety amongst the principal speculators in the article,
who must now calculate on heavy losses. It is expected
that many bills drawn against such consignments will
be returned, and the operations of the money market are
consequently much disturbed. The general tendency of
exchanges, both here and in China, is downwards, and
there are some amongst the merchants who confidently
anticipate a return to bullion remittances. Should this
be the result, it is :probable that such remittances will
be made direct from China to Europe in Sycee silver,
and that this market will be for some time deprived of
its regular supplies of the precious metal. The East
India Company has announced that its operation in
exchange for the ensuing season will be limited to
800,0001. sterling.
The indigo crop may now be considered as certain not
to fall below 140,000 maunds, and may somewhat exceed
this quantity. A violent storm during the past month
did considerable partial injury, and raised the hopes of
the speculators for the moment. But neither that nor
the locusts, nor droughts in one district and inundations
in another, have been able to counteract the general pro-
ductive tendency of the season, and we have consequently
another bumper crop coming forward.
A report just published by the Agricultural Society of
Calcutta will put an end to the expectations of those who
thought that India might rival China in the tea trade. It
appears, on the evidence of the most experienced cultiva-
tor in Assam, that tea cannot be grown at less than one
shilling a pound on the average of years, and this with-
out reckoning any of the expenses of bringing to market.
It can, therefore, never compete with the produce of
China, not even in this country. Advices from Canton
notice the gradual increase of the import trade arising
from the peace. The American Ambassador, Mr. Cush-
ing, has negotiated a treaty on the same terms as Sir
Henry Pottinger's, but has obtained a slight concession
in the duties on lead, which the Americans expect to
supply in large quantities from their western territories.
The opium trade was brisk, and the price will certainly
be high at the public sales of the ensuing season, pro-
bably not under 1,400 to 1,500 rupees per chest.
The public here is anticipating with satisfaction the
establishment of a regular monthly line of steamers,
which will relieve it from the expense of the conveyance
of letters from Bombay, and the uncertainty attending
the bad geographical position of that port during the
S.W. monsoon.
TRADE AT HONG-KONG.
(From the Hong-Kong Price Current, July 26.)
AMERICAN DOMESTICS AND DRILLS.—There is still
little or no stock in first hands, but further supplies are
looked for by American ships daily expected.
BETEL N UT.—We hear of a sale of some magnitude
at 64,50 per pecul in Canton. Early importations, if
moderate, will command these rates in this quarter. At
Amoy, and further north, there is less demand. We
understand the Bintang is on her way from the port men-
tioned, where she scarcely sold anything.
CAMLETS.—We hear of a few sales at $22 to $24 per
piece, but the market here is, on the whole, as dull as
before. At Amoy, prices are quoted at a dollar to a dollar
and a half over rates here ; but there also the hands of
the dealers are full. At Shanghae and Ningpo some
barter transactions have taken place.
CHINTZES are in no demand anywhere, the market
being quite overdone.
COTTON.—We hear of a few transactions of minor im-
portance in New Bombay and Bengal. Tinnevelly is
utterly unsaleable, owing to the heavy stocks which have
accumulated in the Nankin country.
COTTON-YARN continues as depressed as before, and
sales are very difficult to effect. The stocks here and at
Amoy are very large.
IRON.—The market is over-supplied, and little is
consequently doing.
LEAD.—The market is somewhat firmer, in con-
sequence chiefly of the demand created by the Tientsin
junks now loading in the river, and prices have advanced
somewhat. To the northward there is some inquiry for
this metal, at an advance of about half a dollar on
Canton rates.

LONG CLOTHS.—A good deal of business has been
done in these goods during the by-gone week both at
Canton and Hong-Kong. At Amoy the demand is
steady, and likely to continue so if supplied in a
reasonable degree. At Chusau, Ningpo, and Shanghae,
the transactions reported to us have been almost all in
barter.

LONG ELLS.—Little iF doing, except in barter, the sea-
son being unfavourable for the sale of such goods.
OPIUM.—The market continues firm, being supported
in some degree by the smallness of the supply. Our
latest arrival is the Waterwitch from Calcutta, with
dates to the 18th of June, when prices were quoted at
Co.'s rs. 1,480 for Patna, and Co.'s rs. 14,000 for Be-
nares, with a stock of 2,518 chests of the former, and
1,099 ditto of the latter.

TIN is in little request.
TIN PLATES are firmer than for some time past, the
supply being more moderate, and rates having advanced
somewhat.

WooLLENs.---We hear of a few sales of Spanish stripes
and habit cloths at lower rates.

EXPORTS.

ALUM.--This article is now brought down in large
quantities from the coast, and shipped generally for India.
CA➢IPHOR is plentiful, and can be bought from $lB to
525 per pecul.
RHUBARB.—A large quantity of the new crop has ar-
rived, and will be brought to market as soon as it can be
dried.

SlLK.—Tsatlee—There is none of, last year's crop now
here. The new silk is said to be firmer and more plen-
tiful than last season's. Canton—The supply is small ;
the second and third crops are said to have been de-
stroyed by the late rains.
TEA.—Black—Very little is doing in old Tea ; a few
chops of new Congous are in Canton, far which most
exorbitant rates are asked, and have, in. one or two in-
stances, been given ; we hear of one chop having been
bought at taels 39 per pecul, short price. About 4,000
chests of Orange Pekoe have found purchasers at taels
28 to 32 per pecul. Green—Businrss is entirely con-
fined to Canton made Teas.

the national revival which has begun, and if they do
not enter upon it at once and vigorously, their good
name must suffer." Who would have drethiail,, but
two short years since, that a high Tory periodical vOuld
have held language like this, and recommended the
example of the manufacturers as worthy to be imitated
by the landowners. The passage is. in every respect a
remarkable one, and gives undeniable proof,* the
power of events and circumstances 0411s4414latioup
even on the stubborn mind of ToriOd.,:yir*afati,
find it admitted by an enemy—a ji4i and cotjagien-
tious one we must confess—that the ggegtOttep
lords are by no means the hard, selfish, mer-
cenary wretches that self-complacni'4‘hpopoly
has so long represented them to- be
they do not stand coldly and haughtily aloof from
the numerous work-people in their employ, or treat
them as mere senseless machines, fit only to be used
for the purpose of making money ; but, on the con-
trary, that their conduct is so considerate and kindly
—so devoid of all upstart arrogance and assumption—
so marked by an unassuming show of courtesy to-
wards the operatives, and a sincere wish to
elevate them in their own esteem—that the land-
owners cannot possibly do better than adopt the
same just and beneficent course of policy towards the
peasantry on their estates. We cordially agree with
Fraser that the time is at length come when " the
landlords must bestir themselves." They have been
talking of it long enough, they must now set to work
in right earnest. It is not by making showy speeches
in Parliament that they will be able to effect
any substantial good, hut by going personally among
the peasantry, acquainting themselves with their little
wants and wishes, treating them with a kindness and
familiarity that shall have nothing of lofty condescen-
sion in its tone, and assisting them to the utmost of
their power whenever they require and deserve assist-
ance. The Allotment system is good, so far as it
goes, but it is an instalment only—and can be re-
garded in no other light—of the heavy debt that the
1 .ndovvners have long owed to the peasantry. The
very forbearance and exemplary patience which the
latter have manifested during their long night of
suffering should plead trumpet-tongued in their favour,
and quicken every generous emotion in the breast of
their superiors. We most fervently hope that the
hour is not far distant when they will in some degree
be compensated for their terrible
_privations, and be-
come again what they once were, and ought always
to have been, " their country's pride," instead of its
opprobrium.

Every day brings with it, to our mind, increasing
confirmation of the apprehensions we have not
ceased to express with regard to the operation of the
Premier's Bill for the so-called "Regulation" of the
Currency—from its first announcement. We have
very lately endeavoured to urge upon the serious at-
tention of our readers the growing disproportion
between the circulation which the supporters of the
measure have assumed to be sufficient for the
enormous transactions of our home and foreign
trade, the ordinary other demands of social inter-
course, &c.—and the new and multiplying channels
through which the energy of speculation is now en-
a'svouring to diffuse our hitherto undeveloped capi-
tal. The .
immense works connected with railway
lines, whether pen's::
ted, in progress, or still uncom-
tno directions into
menced, appear to be
which that capital is tending. ;,,d there is nothing
wonderful in this fact. At a time when the financial
policy of the Government has reduced the inte:est of
the public debt so extensively, and on so mani
classes of Government securities, it is natural that
they who have money to invest (especially when the
sums to be invested are but small ones) should
prefer those concerns which, Ly the daily lists of the
share and money market, appear it.; yield the best
returns. Thus, the extraordinary premiums of from
75 to 100 per cent. now paying on original shares
of the three most powerful railroad associations,
operate as a direct inducement with persons whose
limited capital renders them more anxious to secure
a large interest for it, in the shape of share divi-
dends, than considerate of the disadvantageous—be-
cause exorbitant—terms, on which they invest their
principal. The very facts that recommend such in-
vestments to their selection ought, in a prudential
view of the matter, to operate with them to select
other lines, shares in which can be obtained at the
far more modest premium of some 2 or 3 per cent.,
which is commensurate with their smaller scale or
more limited revenue. It is, however, quite indis-
putable that this preference for the shares command-
ing such extraordinary premiums is, prima facie,
justified by the confidence and patronage bestowed
on them by the public ; the grand and even magni-
ficent system on which they are administered ; and
the vast and permanent market they furnish for cer-
tain descriptions of our industrial and mechanic
labour. No such considerations can fairly be predi-
cated of those immense railway lines on the Conti-
nent, executed, or in course of execution, by English
contractors, however profitably they may have re-
munerated, or may promise to remunerate, their
undertakers. In these latter instances, it is too gene-
rally the case that there is a vast efflux from this
country of British capital, subscribed by British
shareholders, which is rapidly absorbed by the wages
of foreign labour, expended in foreign countries, and
but ',slowly and disproportionately returned to the
limited number of individuals here who are benefited
as iron-masters or constructors of locomotive ma-
chinery. The return through the contractors them-
.;elves will probably be slowest of all. They will
have but little capital to remit and invest at home,
pending the construction of works which must de-
mand, until they he completed, the almost entire de-
votion of their time and means, either in the per-
sonal discharge of their contracts, or the personal
supervision of those who execute them, on the spot.
Let the amount of British capital thus diverted, or
locked up, or impounded, as it were, from British
circulation, and carried off in bullion, or exchanged
against it, on the Continent, be taken into account,
together with the demands of the new forty railway
lines just now candidates for public approval and
sanction, and what will be the extent of the conse-
quences that must ensue upon any groundless panic,
or other possible event, that may have the effect, of
producing a temporary depression and discourage-
ment of railway stuck ? 'We tremble to contemplate
it. The day, however, will come, when the pres-
sure from this single source alone—on a currency
which is committed to the disorganising action of a
standard cheap price of gold, irrespective of its
scarcity or abundance, and the effect of either of
those conditions on the prices of all other commodi-
ties ;—when this pressure, we say, will be felt in
tremendous force. The last week's return of the
Bank stock of gold and silver bullion showed a
formidable decline in quantity, as compared with its
amount a week or two after the passing of the Bank
Charter Renewal Bill, of something like four mil-
lions sterling. And again, the price of gold does not
appear to fall at Hamburgh or Paris in the propor-
tion which might have been theoretically anticipated
from the large exports of silver within the last ten
days to Rotterdam, Hamburgh, and other foreign
ports. The truth seems to be, that, notwithstanding
the apparent improvement which has been taking
place in the general aspect of our trade for some time
past—the causes are already at work which will pre-
cipitate the testing of those disastrous fallacies in the
Premier's currency policy that are fraught with ulti-
mate ruin to the whole industrial classes of this coun-
try; to that very commerce, the interests of which
the infatuated Premier supposes he is upholding by
his Bill of pains and penalties against the better re-
presentation and more easy transfer of property or
capital; and to all the legitimate markets of trade or
employment in which it ought to have been his aim
and his gratification to secure to the honest artisan or
labourer "a fair day's wage for a full day's work."
Instead of this, he has done his best to crush and
keep down wages; to lower prices to the standard at
which cheap gold would keep them; and by that
means to throw upon the overburdened shoulders of
the famishing operative producer, and the agricul-
tural labourer, three-fourths of all the immense

amount of indirect taxation levied in the United
Kingdom!

Madrid journals of the 24th ult. have been received.
They contain an outline of the speech made by
MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, the Minister for Foreign
_Affairs, which puts at rest the inventions of a Paris
jt;Arnal about a reconciliation between the royal
fauUily and Don CARLOS. He declared with much
.....
en2phAsi3 that never should Don CARLOS and his
fa 4.14 return to the palace of her MAJESTY through
atfrntrigue. This declaration must produce the
e IPpf setting at rest the thousand vague conjectures
4* . have been hazarded as to the bearing of the
at ti,e 4of the Reform Bill relative to the marriage of
1
they 'QUEEN. The" Government, he added, were
peO'ettly well aware that the ,Exaltados and the
C lip were conspiring both within and without the
pil . Fy, but every necessary precaution was taken to
i._ lt the accomplishment of their designs. He
added, that the Ministry had thought it their duty
-not :ito introduce into the Speech from the Throne
any ilitestion which was not a sort of programme
'of their official intentions and the steps which
theysl meant to pursue; they wished thus to
place'n, barrier to discussion. They hoped to con-
solidate the peace of the country, and to establish
those organic laws of which it stood so much in need.
The intention of the Government, he said, was to seek
for their arms in the arsenal of the laws, and not in
that of revolution. The Government had not consi-
dered it their duty to snake any special mention of
the See of Rome, although it should not be supposed
from that that the Government were indifferent to
such a grave subject. Steps had been taken to re-
establish political relations, and relations of a su-
perior order, which it was important to make in a
firm and stable manner, and beyond the influence of
passions and policy, because their character was im-
mutable. These relations ought to exist between the
visible head of the Church and a nation eminently
Catholic. The Government would endeavour by
every means in its power to effect a sincere an ho-
nourable reconciliation, for the Government had two-
fold duties to perform, conciliating at the same time
the rights and wants of the nation with the preroga-
tives of the Crown. He was happy to announce that
those relation:. were likely to be established. With
regard to the remarks of an Honourable Member, that
the congratulations on the termination of the affair of
Morocco were premature, he would observe, that the
Emperor of MOROCCO had given to Spain all the sa-
tisfaction and the indemnities which she had demanded.

Relative to the saute subject, the Minister of
Grace and Justice, and the Minister for Foreign
AfTairs, said that it was necessary to remove all hope
from the partisans of Don CARLOS until they should
have fully submitted themselves to the Government
of the nation.

The Chamber of Deputies did not sit on the 24ti:,
but in the evening there was a meeting of members
opposed to the new Bill, when they could muster,vnly
ei,zhteen.
Aecomits have been received this day from Madrid
of the 25th, but they bring nothing fresh, if we except
a rise in the funds.

Upon the Madrid Exchange of the 24th the Three
per Cents. were at 26i for ready money, and at 26i
at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20, at 60 days.
On the 25th the Three per Cents. were done:at 27 at
60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20k, at 60 days ; and
the Floating Debt of the Treasury at 63f, at 60 days.

The Journal des Debats announces with evident
satisfaction that on Tuesday, the 29th of October, the
anniversary of the accession the power of the present
Ministers, all the Members of the Cabinet dined with
the ICING at St. Cloud. The Ministry, therefore,
has entered on the fifth year of its existence—an age
which no French Cabinet since the July revolution
has attained. The occasion furnishes to the Govern-
ment journal a good subject for congratulation, and
certainly, when we contrast the excited state of
France at the fall of M. THIERS and its present
peaceful and prosperous condition, everything is in
favour of M. GUIZOT'S administration. The same
jourol then adverts to the state of Spain, which
does lease honour to the policy of the pre-
sent Cabinet. It was a wanton, underhand inter-
ference with a neighbouring people, and may yet lead
to the most serious consequences. When that journal
seemed disposed to blame MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA
And NARVAEZ for remodelling the Constitution, and
espec;3lly for abolishing that part of it which ac-
knowledged the sovereignty of the people, we attached
not the slightest importance to its remarks. It was
all for the purpose of keeping up a shoN; of impar-
tiality till the proper time should come for rem)jnising
the new measure. That time appears to have arrived,
and the Ministerial journal, though ostensibly poi
much in love with the new Charter, yet lets the affair
drop away quietly, by saying that " after all, the
Spaniards ought to be the best judges of their own
affairs." It at the same time asserts, that the pre-
tended treaty between the POPE and Queen CHRIS-
TINA, which we copied from the National, is a " mere
fable." We thought as much at the time. Fabri-
cated documents may effect their object in a despotic
Government, ouch as that of NAPOLEON, where no
contradictions were allowed. In these days the
National will find the effect very different, and by
such mendacious arts only men: a title which all
honest, and even dishonest, men abhor. The follow-
ing are the remarks in the Journal des Debats, to
which we refer:—

" The Committees in the two Spanish Chambers have
proceeded seriously and quietly to discuss the newly
proposed constitutional reform. Out of doors the same
tranquillity prevails, notwithstanding all the endeavours
made to disturb it. We have no inure admiration to-
day than we had yesterday of what is passing in Spain ;
but, after all, the Spaniards ought to be the best judges
of their own affairs, and it appears to be certain that the
Bill presented by the Government will be passed by a
large majority. We may naturally expect a number of
exaggerated reports as to the state of the public mind,
particularly in the provinces, to be put in circulation ;
but hitherto all attempts to excite agitation have com-
pletely failed. Projects of reaction are attributed to the
Spanish Government, which, if they had any foundation,
would be most insensate, and a French journal goes so
tar as to publish the articles of a treaty which it pre
tends to have been concluded between the present Go-
vernment and Don Carlos, on the occasion of the pre-
sumed marriage between Queen Isabella and the Prince
of the Asturias. According to our own information, we
may safely affirm that there has not been any idea of
such a union, and, consequently, that this pretended
treaty is a mere fable. On the contrary, it should seem
tliat the Congress Committee has proposed, it accordance
with the Government, to add to the Bill an article ex•
pressly precluding the Sovereign from contracting mar-
riage with any person directly excluded from the o.c--
cession to the Crown. In truth, the Bill is already
strong enough without the addition of any factitious mat-
ter, and attempting to render it worse than it is, will only
make it appear the better."
The National has another furious article against
the new Spanish Constitution, and throws all the
blame on M. GUIZOT. What absurdity in this
journal to come in after the death, without making
the slightest attempt to vindicate the independence
of Spain, when it was invaded by Spanish refugees
from France. Its national vanity, no doubt, was
soothed by seeing Frenchmen exert such influence in
Spain ; and now it attacks M. GUIZOT, not from any
generous impulse in favour of freedom, for of that it
is incapable, but solely to annoy a Government
that has the honesty and Ail' to keep it and other
-
firebrands under salutary control. 2.lese papers con
tain no domestic news. In fact, France is ai present
perhaps, the most per ful and contented nation in
Europe. Louis Ilimn-rE
,a'nd his Cabinet may,
therefore, look back on thelast four years with no
ordinary feelings of joy and exultation.

before Mr. Twyford, charged with naN:ing assaulted M ArY
Ann Hoy, one of the inmates, who Nv,;s evidently fi 1.1
years of age, but who appeared to ire insane, I Um
caused much laughter, by repeatedly declaring she PAS
only " one-and-twenty."
The complainant stated that while in the Oakttm-sbed,
picking oaknm with the prisoners, they useJ bad lan
guage towards her, and began pulling her abo
and
told them that sto believed they were no got 'd "'-
Keefe immediately struck her violently, and ma de der,
bleed, and Griaasdale took her by the arms, struLk burr
and pushed her out of the shed.
Another inmate proved the. same.
Mr. TWYFORD said the comOainant's weak state d
mind entitled her to more protectiol2. He committed t•
whole of the prisoners to seven days' i:ard labour.
Knight and GrimFdale, on leaving ale bar, screamed"
out that they would have Miss Hoy's " beares blood°
when they came out again.
Mr. TWYFORD ordered-them to be put back to the bar,
and altered their sentence to a month's hard labour, thus
marking his horrof of such harpies.

Mary Simpson, a youoosi-looking womam, resperfr
ably dressed, with ng g
an infant in her arms, was placed lit;

James Pitt, footman in the service of the Marquis off.
Douro, stated, that between eight end nine o'clock 10
night, as he was crossing Hyde-park, on his way froni.
the Marquis's residence, No. 3, Upper lielgrave-street,
to the Princess's Theatre, he was met by the prisoner,
and two other well-dressed females; in passirt
them, they seized hold of hold of him with olds
violence, after hustling him about in a joking
but forcible manner. lie felt the prisoner's band in his
left waistcoat pocket, wherein he had a canvas bag co n'
taming a 1. Bank of England note, one sovereign, an
some silver. On her withdrawing it, he discovered that
he had been robbed, and at the instant he observed the
prisoner to pass something to one of her companions,
and both of them directly made off. Ile seized the pri—
soner, and, aftt...r. a violent resistance, succeeded in de-
taining her until- the police took her into custody. On
