TESTIMONIAL or RESPECT.—The friends of the
Rev. C. A. T. Smith, late Curate of St. An-
drew's Church, Plymouth, have lately presented him
with the sum of 1001., as a token of personal regard,
and to give some public avowal of their grateful sense
of his ministry during the nine years in which he has
officiated in that parish.
In the course of the past week, the brooms have
disappeared from the mast-heads of many of the ships
in the various docks and canals within the port, which
may be regarded as a very palpable indication of a
favourable move in maritime affairs. The shipwrights,
too, who have—very much to their disadvantage
—been idle hands about the banks of the Thames
for some time, begin to find occupation. The value
of tonnage is improving, and with the spring we may
expect more general and increased activity.—Shipping

The corn question .i s the subject of debate in almost
every circle in the City, and from the rumour having
at first obtained circulation in the Stock Exchange,
it has now received credence in other quarters, where
it is confidently asserted that Sir Robert Peel has
consulted some of our leading merchants upon the
best plan for a further modification of the obnoxious
,impost, guided by whose advice, a ,fixed duty has at
last been resolved upon.
In the Liverpool market yesterday cotton was rot
