,--,..otednes:.3• to t'ance, had occupied, says the
Report, the attention of former Ministers of the
Colonies, and the Governors of the colony had
been authorised to submit the traffic of gum to
certain exceptional measures tending to preserve
the agents from the wild competition existing
since 1838. , As those measures, and particularly
the last, consisting of the #brmation of a Company
invested with certain privileges for the trade,
had excited loud complaints from the French
shiivowners and merchants, it was thought advis-
able to nominate a Commission to inquire into
the exact state of the trade, and after having
obtained all possible information on the subject
to suggest a remedy. This Committee bad-now
finished their inquiries, and proposed unani-
mously that the gum trade should be subjected
to regulations based on full liberty of barter, but
accompanied by important restrictions, in order
to repair the commercial disorders of late years,
and prevent their return.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market the sales were good
yesterday, being 5,000 bales, at about previous rates.
For the Railway Shares the market was generally
firm. Eastern Counties were 81 • Grand Junction,
180 ; South Western, 591 ; North Midland, 61; Paris
and Rouen, 23 ; and South Eastern, New, 178.
The West India Mails bring rather satisfactory
news from the different Islands. At Jamaica the pros-
pects are very promising for next year, and the ex-
ports this season have much exceeded those of last,
viz., by 13,321 hhds. of sugar, 3,850 puncheons of
rum, and 1,233 tierces of coffee. In Demerara mat-
ters had not improved.
The failure alluded to by some of our Morning
Contemporaries is a very minor affair in the seed
trade, and scarcely deserved mention. Another
party connected with Cornish mining speculations is
reported in difficulties.
'The plain ribbon weavers of Coventry have effected
much good by their Association for the improvement
of their manufactures, and they have succeeded alike
in protecting the weavers, and giving all honourable
manufacturers fair play- in the market. The first
Report gives the following gratifying statement :
" Your Committee are happy to inform you that the
branches are in a prosperous condition, and, con-
sidering-the depressed state of trade, surpass our most
sanguine expectations."
The Funds are very firm, but business is limited, as
usual on the closing day of the week. Consols for
present transfer have been marked 944 to 941, and for
Thursday next 94} also. Exchequer Bills continue
heavy, at 55 to 58 premium ; India Bonds •51 53

demand, and the value is 169 to 170; New Three-
and-a-nalf per Cents. 101 i 1, and Reduced• Three per

The news from Mexico seems to be approved of,
especially as it is accompanied by a'remittance for the
dividends, and the Active Bonds were worth 338 ;
Colombian Stock is steady at 211 ; Brazil nominally
is 65, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realise
528 to 53h. The Five per Cent. Spanish Bonds are
dull at 18i, and the Three per Cents. at 23. Portu-
guese New Five per Cents. obtain 384.
Railway Shares are steady. Brighton 14/ dis-
count; Birmingham 94, and Great Western 19, and

AnYssixrA.—The most cruel kind of negro slavery,
perhaps, in existence, is that practised at Dahaleh, an
island on the Abyssinian coast. The pearl fishery,
according to Ruppell, who visited it in 1831, is carried
on exclusively by youths, who are often sacrificed to
-the severities which accompany it. Many aro de-
stroyed by sharks, or fall victims to the negligence
of the overseers, who are warming themselves at a
fire while the poor creatures are pulling in vain at a
rope which is attached to the arm, and is destined to
give notice to those above when thay are in want of '
air. M. Ruppll could not obtain any estimate of
the profits derived from this accursed business; but,
as the inhabitants were wealthy and slaves in the
arket numerous, there can be ho doubt that the loss
of life attendant thereon is easily made up by fresh
purchases, and that the average duration of existence
among these helpless creatures must be short indeed.

There was, one Sunday, at Holland House, during
the life of the late lamented owner, a party of twelve
at dinner, and it was agreed, that when the same
party met a week after, each guest should bring a list
of the twelve best and most interesting works e had
ever read. There was, of course, no concert or com-
munication between them, who were all men of lite-
rary pursuits and great attainments ; and when, at
their next meeting, the lists were opened by Lord:
Holland, there was but one name found in all.
