DIONET-TRADE-7COMMERCE.

The value of exports from Canton amounts io about
8,250,0001. per annum.
Letters from the American cotton planters in
Bengal state the complete failure in the experiments
to grow that commodity in that locality. The hot
winds and bad climate appear the preventives.

I.AW AND POLICE.
The driver of the cabriolet No. 1,113 was charged
at Clerkenwell, with furious driving, and thereby
damaging the carriage of R. Davies, Esq., to the
amount of 241. The prisoner's license was suspended,
and he was ordered to be imprisoned for three weeks
with hard labour.

NAVAL &ND MILITARY.
It is said to be the intention of Lord Ellenborough,
in the course of the present month, to review the
whole of the troops who will by that time have re-
turned from Affghanistan, 35,000 in number.

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
The first book auction on record in England was
the sale of Dr. Seaman's library, which was brought
to the hammer A.D. 1676.
COURT-FASRION.A.ELE.

The Dowager Duchess of Cleveland takes possession

The Duke of Richmond, after staying a few days in

The Earl and Countess of Beauchamp arrived in

'MISCELLANEOUS.
From China this country has some of its most
graceful exotics, and among them the Wistaria Sinen-
sis, and many of our finest Camellias and Azaleas.
The tree-peonies of Canton are much esteemed, and
the peaches of Pekin, accounted the most deligious of
the species, weigh many of them upwards of 2lbs.
At the meeting of the Gloucester Agricultural So-
ciety, held near Cirencester last week, Mr. Edward
Bowley remarked, " A Noble Lord in a neighbouring
country is reported to have said that farmers must
exert themselves; that they must not stand idle by
when their cart is in a hole, and call upon Jupiter for
help. I quite agree with the Noble Lord that it
would be useless to call upon Jupiter; but if times
should continue bad there is another power which the
farmer has some sort of right to call upon, and that is
the landlord."
The Duke of Newcastle, at a meeting held last
week at Southwell of the Nottinghamshire Magis-
trates, proposed that instead of the present rural po-
lice, which at present cost 4,8161., 366 constables
should be appointed instead, the total cost of which
would be 3,1701. his Grace's recommendation failed.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS;
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool was plentifully
supplied, and no alteration occurred in the prices.
The demand was moderate, only 4,000 bales finding
buyers. About 100 bales aranham realised 6d.; 100
Egyptian, 6i-d.; 200 Surat, Sid. to 4id. ; and 3,600
bales American 44d. to 51d. per lb. Great Western,
Liverpool and Manchester, Birmingham and Grand
Junction, and the other leading Railway Shares,
were in request, but the minor lines were in but little
demand. Eastern Counties brought 8i; Gret
Western 88i ; Birmingham 188; Manchester and
Liverpool, Half, 304; Paris and Rouen 24i ; and
South Eastern, New, 174.
The overland letter-bags will be made up this
evening, giving barely time to send out the n
raerca-
ill correspondence. It seems desirable that the period
of dispatching the outward letters should be perman-
ently fixed rather later in the month than is the case at
present, for the greater convenience and certainty of
answering tlie Indian advices, but the Overland ar-
rangements must then necessarily be altered.
The papers fom India, show an increase in the foreign
commerce of Calcutta during the season of 18414, as
compared with 1837-8, of some magnitude, though it
is to be feared that various circumstances have com-
bined to render the trade far less profitable, This is
particularly the case with the shipping interest,
freights having ruled unusually low, and leaving no
remuneration to the owners. Last season no less
than 885 ships of 277,816 tons were employed in the
export trade of Calcutta, the value of the exports
themselves being 8.39.40.592 rupees.

From the English manufacturing districts,
as from those of Scotland, we continue to receive very
gratifying accounts respecting the improvement in
trade occasioned by the peace with China, the news of
which could not have come at a more opphortune time
than just at the beginning of winter, wen trade is
usually so dull.

IN RE JOHN GEORGE SMITH.
The inAOIVeIII had been discharged under the Act
In 1839, f-,-om liabilities amounting to 739/. In the
Present instonce all that was available to his creditors,

were two debts, both of which were described as bad.
Mr. COOKE applied to have T. Easel, Esq., a Cap-
tain in the Royal Navy, appointed assignee. He had
lent the insolvent 601., in security for which he got
the lease of certain premises.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the habits of a naval
officer were not adapted for such an office as assignee
to an insolvent's estate. He should appoint one of
the trade creditors.
The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged.
IR RE WILLIAM JACKSON.

The insolvent's petition to be discharged was op-
posed by Mr. Cooke, on the grounds of undue pre-
ference.

It appeared that he had 'executed a warrant of at •
torney in favour of Messrs. Ellington and Wells, the
extensive ale brewers, who thus became possessed of
all the property.—Discharged.
