The colonial and general produce markets re-open
to-day, but the public sales are as yet limited. Prices,
although stocks are large, are expected to rule firm.
The attempt of the Americans to extend their trade
witli China cannot too much excite our vigilance. It
observed in a communication from New York, that
" there is a very large trade carried on between
Russia and China.on the North and West, besides traffic
to an immense extent, between the British East India
possessions and China. Heretofore, the foreign trade
by sea has been very insignificant compared with the
total foreign trade of such an immense empire. Five
ports are now open to the commerce of the United States
and Great Britain. Commercial treaties of a very fa
vourable nature have been perfected between these
Powers, and the industry of each have, in the perspec-
tive, full employment for many articles of manufacture
fur the demand that must inevitably spring from the
Wants of more than three hundred millions of people—
& mass of beings greater than all the rest
of the world in the aggregate. The table of
imports into Canton gives us an idea of the description
of goods they immediately require, r<hile the table of
exports shows us their principal staples, and to what
extent they are at present used by the people of the two
nations referred to. We learn irom Washington that
the treaty recently made with the Chinese by Mr.
Cushing, was read to the Senate while in secret session,
Auld we may hope soon to have the pleasure of a perusal.
The ratifications of this treaty, if as favourable to our
interests as anticipated, will be one of the most import-
ant movements made for the extension of our COM.
IfterCe ever known during the settlement of the country.
Thera is not a section of the Union that will not be
benefited by the opening of this trade. The manufac-
turers of the north, the planters of the south, and the
ieadminers of the west, are deeply interested in this
Movement, and look for a speedy settlement of the
question." •
The Funds have been again very quiet, but there is no
reakniss in the market. Consols have been 1004
for the opening; Exchequer Bills have been 625. to
$43. premo Bank Stock has realised 2114 to 2104, being
higher again. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 1034 to i•
The Foreign Maiket has not been active, but a fair
business is doing in Spanish Bonds. The Five per
Cents. have been 284, and upon a large sale made have
dropped again to 274. The Three per Cents. have ob-
tained 364 to 4 Mexican. Bonds have been quoted 354 4,
and Colombian, 144 1, which is a slight rally. French
Scrip has been 14 premium; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
'Cents are 634 to 634.
The Railway Shares are generally buoyant. Great
Westcrn are higher, owing to tbe opinion of the Board
Of Trade in favour of its projected branches; and South-
. Western have declined, from the report against the con-
templated auxiliary lines.

On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and
Queen of the French received the President of the
Chamber of Peers, the Charg d'Affaires of Spain, the
Swedish, Danish, and Dutch Ministers, and Generals
Berthois and de Dampierre.
The King and Queen :of the Belgians left Paris on
Monday for Brussels.
The France says it is informed that Prince Louis
Bonaparte has received at Ham letters announcing that
his father, the Count de Saint Leu, who is at Florence.
is in a state of health which excites some uneasiness.

A Frankfort letter states that Mr. Fox Strangeways,
the English Minister to the German Diet, was to leave
Frankfurt tor six months, but that he was not to be re-
placed, his absence being partly for the purpose of his
receiving new instructions concerning the negotiations
to be opened with the German Customs Union.
Letters from Constantinople of the 17th ult. state that
full satisfaction will be given to the British Consul at
Trebizond fur the insult offered hire by the Fuchs
Other measures were about being taken by Sir Stratford
Canning, in conjunction with the Ambassadors of France
and Russia, to obtain redress and compensation fur the
cruelty inflicted on a Greek at Trebizond.
Dr. Wolff was on his way from Teheran to Erzeroum,
according to the latest accounts.
Mr. John Kerr, her Majesty's Consul at Adrianople,
died on the 7th of December.

Letters from Athens, of the 20th ult., state that the
Chambers were still engaged in verifying the elections.
By a manceuvre the Deputies, partisans of Coletti, were
favoured and admitted in such numbers as to constitute
for him a vast majority. The Post-office convention be-
tween France and Greece had been agreed to.
Very severe weather has prevailed on the coast of
Syria since the latter end of November, and a great
number of country vessels have been lost on the
coast. Fresh supplies of troops were constantly
pouring into Syria from Turkey, and Ali Pasha had
arrived at Jerusalem to re-implace the former Pasha,
on account of his inactive conduct during the
late disturbances, caused by Sheikh Aboo Ghosh,
in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The new system
of petty Christian governors, under the Druse Emeer in
the Lebanon, is being carried into operation, but it is
not expected that much good will be derived from it.
The old Turkish coinage lately called in by the Govern-
ment is again perfectly current in every town in Syria.
The ships of war lying at Beyrout on the 11th ult., were
two Turkish steamers and a frigate, an Austrian and a
French corvette, without any English vessel. -
Lady Hardinge and family arrived at Alexandria on
the 17th tilt., in her Majesty's steamer Hecla, Com-
mander Duffil.

M. Bourne's Postal Convention with the Pasha of
Egypt has been terminated as far as that gentleman is
concerned, and it is to be sent to England by the
steamer Oriental to be ratified. The conditions are
not so satisfactory as expected. Although the par •
ticulars of the agreement have not been made
public it is believed that it is based on the same
principles as the one made with the French Government
for the India Mails proceeding through France, and that
Mehemet Ali will receive an amount of postage on the
mails passingihrough Egypt to and from India at the rate
of 6s. per lb. on letters, and Is. per lb. on newspapers.
The term is for five years. The mails will be conveyed
through the country by the Viceroy at his own expense,
and will be accompanied by an English messenger.
The Egyptian Transit Company is still in a state of
discomfiture, the real Directors not being yet
known. In the meantime, the Government continues
to take measures to make a monopoly of the transit
through Egypt. The British and several European
Consuls at Cairo have received instructions from the
Egyptian Government to prohibit travellers from cross-
ing the Desert between Cairo and Suez by their own
conveyances, as the means of proceeding between those
two places are to be strictly confined to the Egyptian
Transit Company.
One of the Pacha's Nile steamers, of fifty-horse
power, was lost a few days ago near Aboukir Bay, on
her way from Rosetta to Alexandria. The fault is
entirely ascribable to the captain, for not taking pre-
cautionary measures.
A considerable leak has formed itself in the dock of
Alexandria, which was opened with so much ceremony
last month, and the engineer will have much difficulty
in efficiently stopping it His present intention is to
remove entirely the paving of the dock in the vici-
nity of the leak, and reconstruct it. Alexandria has
now been free from plague since the 10th of October;
one or two cases have occurred at Cairo during the past
month, and at Damietta an occasional case is reported.
A fire broke out at Ibrahim Pacha's sugar manufac-
tory at Cairo on the 13th ult., and property to a consi-
derable amount was destroyed.

FATAL ACCIDENT on the LIVER-
POOL AND LEEDS JUNCTION LINE.
On Monday last a fatal accident occurred on that
part of the North Junction Railway, which is carried
on pillars between the New Bailey prison and the
Bolton Railway, and near, New Bailey-street, Salford,
by which the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Com-
pany have lost one of their oldest servants-4 mau
well known and respected—Mr. John Forsyth, who
has been in the service of that Company, and
generally stationed at Ordsal-lane, for a period
of seventeen years. The day was a very
foggy one ; and he was proceeding along the
junction line towards Ordsal-lane, where he re-
sided, when, a train coming on from Liver 1,
he stood close to the iron parapet on that side of the
line next the New Bailey prison. When the train
had passed, being deaf of the right ear (the side next
the rails), he did not hear or perceive an engine and
tender coining just behind him ; and he stepped across
the rails, when he was knocked down, his head lacer-
ated, and the engine wheels passed over the toed a
his right foot. The engine was instantly stopped ; but
the poor man was found to be quite dead. What ren-
ders the case the more painful and distressing is, that
his son was upon the engine, and saw the unfortu-
nate catastrophe, without having the least power to
prevent it. Both father and son ware on their way
lame, to attend the funeral of a daughter of the de-
ceased. The son was upon the engine, having lost a
leg some time ago by being run over by an engine.
Another daughter was iakrp,pd to death about twelve
months ago, so that this may with truth be called an
unfortunate family.
An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, be?
fore Mr. Rutter, at the nearest public-house, one ad-
joinipg the railway, in Ordsal-lane, and the jury
r
a ver.4}ct of " Accidental death." The same
graveeturn
welll receivetbe remains of both the father and
daughter.—Manchester
