* The Commission have determined upon the following
classification

Section I. Raw materials and produce; illustrative of
the natural productions on which human industry is em-
ployed.
11. Machinery for agricultural, manufacturing, engi-
neering, and other purposes, and mechanical inventions;
illustrative c f the agents which human ingenuity brings
to bear upon the products of nature.

My Lord—l should have desired in open court, before
the and the public, to give utterance to the
regret of the bir that illness compels your Lordtl4 to
resign the high office you have long filled with dis-
tinguished honour t-) yourself and with eminent aclvan-
Lige to your country.
I may thus, however, be allowed to convey the ex-
pression of our feelings, and to assure your Lordship
that the learning, fie impartiality, the high sense of
honour, the firmness and the dignity which merited and
ennobled your administration of justice have always
commanded admiration and respect; while every prac-
titioner in your I ordship's co.irt bears gratJul teiti-
mony to the kindness and the courtesy that endear( I
you to us all.
We are sensible that failing health and advancing
years entitle your Lordship to lay rode the arduous
duties of the Judge; but we pray that you may be blessed
with vigour to enioy the I•2sure you have justly earned,
and to devets to the public service the patriotism and
the eloquence rlready so conspicuous the aunrls of
Parliament.
In the evenincr of an event 7,0 life your Lordship will
carry with you into ref ircmert the alTeltionsve sympa-
thies of every memb::: of the profeczion, and wili reap
some reward for your labours in the knowledge that you
will long live in their memory an example to applaud

Dear Mr. Attorney,—l receive with the highest satis,
feotion yoer kind letter, expressing your own sentiments
and those of the bar in general, on my retirement from
office. If I have merited in any degree your valuable
approbation, I am conscious that mainly it must be es-
cribcd to the learning, ljberality, and candour by which
you and your brethren rendered the performance of my
laborious duties during so many years both easy and
delightful.
Fully aware of my many deficiencies in other re-
spects, I yet will not disclaim the praise of a constant
and earnelt endeavour to discover truth and promote
justice; and it is my pride to feel that, with the assist-
ance of my excellent colleagues, I have not failed in my
anxious wish to sustain, and even elevate, the character
of the English bar. Among the many consolations
which support me in taking this painful step, none will
be more effectual than to witness the increasing pros-
perity and honour of the profession which you so worthily
represent.

With every feeling of esteem and respect towards
yourself, I remain, my dear Mr. Attorney, your faithful
and obedient servant, DENMAN.

tities of hops from Ireland, the produce of that country,

rived from Dublin, Belfast, and Waterford, respectively,
has brought 11 bales of hops as a portion of her cargo,
which, b&ng the largest importation cf the kiwi from
,Oat country, is of interest.
