There are commercial advices from Singapore the
morning to the 18th January. Fine cotton goods woof
in demand, and sold well. • Most woollens were dull
sale, principally in consequence of the accounts that ",
markets in China were not favourable. The exchisP
on London was at 4.2, and bills much in demand. TilLie ch re
were 18 British vessels in the harbour, • most of vi,,u re
were likely to have cargoes. The Chinese at Sillger,.„j
had resolved to present Mr. Bonham a beautifully tigitlf
1 umbrella for his kindness during the period be l',;;s
Governor of the Straits settlements. It was to be
,0
home by an Englishman, who was about to leave rio
island. The address (in Chinese), which was agree"
at the meeting referred to, concludes-thus :- • k ell
" All the Chinese inhabitants of Singapore thin
your great virtues, and do exceediAgly desire 7°ll
return. They therefore unanimously, and le!,
sincerity, respectfully offer you an umbrella, em
broidered in superior silk, - ' as' a me 0.
of your virtue, most fervently hoping your accePPlf,lo
of it, not indeed as a recompense, but as a small tcuf
of the respect and attachment of us all, and as a pr""
that we du not forget you."
The commercial accounts from the United States,"
• - -poll
ceived this morning, possess but little interest. •

had been very extensive. In anticipation of a..its
shipment this year of timber, the trade was very brif.s.t
all parts of British North America. .
