A circular has been sent to us by the Messrs. Keeling and
Hunt, containing many cogent reasons why there should be
an amelioration in the duties upon the importation of foreign
cheese and butter, by which the poorer classes would be most
materially benefited. Some of our Morning Contemporaries
have referred already to this subject; bat the more important
points in the circular may be thus quoted
" The result of high prices leads to the use of unwhole-
some substitutes, such as common animal fat, rancid lard and
other grease, boiled potatoes, and boiled peas, coloured to re-
present butter—these ingredients are extensively used in
common pastry for the poor in the low neighbourhoods in and
about London ; and to show the extent of this trade, some
individuals engaged in it make 20,000 to 30,000 pies per
week. Yet, in the face of this we hear from Liverpool, no
later than the 3d instant, that part of the butter now in stock
from the United States, will have to be " tarred," in conse-
quence of the quality not being good enough to enable the
importers to pay the 20s. duty, therefore a large proportion
must be cleared for grease, after being subject to the revolting
process of destruction, by being mixed with " tar," when
this quantity, at a duty of 10s. per cwt., would have been
consumed for the purpose originally imported—namely,
butter.

" The effect of the improvement in the trade of the manu-
facturing districts is shown, as regards importation and con-
sumption, by comparing the stock on hand the past two
years. The stock of butter in London,
On the 7th April, 1844, was 22,480 firkins;
Do. do. 1845, 5,620 do.

So that from this time to May and June (termed by the trade
the end of the season) the price of butter will be 20 to 30 per
cent. above the usual price at that period of the year ; and,
with the present state of the meadow-land in this country,
combined with the limited stock of butter on hand, were it
not for the foreign importation, butter would be worth 2s. 6d.
to 3s. per lb. between this time and the end of May, which
would act as a prohibition to its being used by the middling
and poorer classes of society."
It is a favourable feature in the accounts from America,
brought by the Cambria steamer, that very general doubts

were entertained as to the annexation of Teias after all that
has been advanced upon the subject. The commercial ac-
counts are rather more favourable than by the last arrival.
From the Cape of Good Hope we have advices received at
the Hall of Commerce this morning to the 11th of February.
The only important fact in the accounts is that the proposed
law relative to the Stamp Acts was not to be proceeded
with.

The quotations of the Public Securities have been rather
firm this morning. For the Account Consols have been done
at 991 A 1%, and the same for transfer to-morrow. The Re-
duced Three per Cents. have advanced to 98%, and the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to 101%. The premium
upon Exchequer-bills has been done at 575. to 595. premium.
Bank Stock has been heavy at a fall from 21014 to 20911 210.
A good market has ruled to-day for most of the Foreign
Stocks. Spanish Bonds have been sold at 3014, and the
Three per Cents. at 4014. These rates show an improve-
ment on the values of last week, as the Ministry at Madrid
intend to confine the expenditure within narrower limits
than was expected. The Portuguese Converted Bonds have
been at 65; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 63; the
Four per Cents. at 97%; Mexican at 361 14 ; and Bra-
zilian at 871,!2.
The settlement in the Railway Share Market is going off
very well indeed. The market is extremely firm, as our list
of prices will show.
