Private letters received this morning from Manchester state
that the intelligence by the Overland Mail from India
had been viewe.t as 'favourable, and had created an
expectation that the next accounts would probably cause
an improvement in business. It is with !egret that it
is stated that the correspondence delivered in London
would lead to a conclusion directly contrary. Both letters and
price currents represent the markets all over India to be
completely glutted with cotton manufactures, the larger por-
tion of which are held on account of the consigners. They
singularly agree in one fact, that of directly stating that a
permanent improvement in trade can only be looked for from
a diminution in the stock, which can be brought about but
by a cessation of imports.

This bein,3 lazt, 32-nlri at-the of
England, the confusion in the Rotunda has been very much
increased, and fully shows the imperative necessity of the Bank
providing accommodation anti resuming as early as possible.

The accounts of the revenue have attracted some; attention,
but upon the whole do not appear to give much satisfaction.
A feeling of disappointment is visible at the lirge decrease in
the Custo.ns during the prtsent quarter ; and while it
is admitted that, much of it is owing to the contem-
plated reduction in the duties, ye& it is considered
that the demand for goods which is usual at the
period of the year just passed, would, hid it existed as had been
customary, have more than coun erbalanced the deficiency
occasioned by paying the duties upon no more than necessity
compelled.
Accounts from Launceston to the 16th of March have been
received, but contain no intelligence of importance. The colony
appears to be steadily andfacourably progressing, and although
complaints of the dulness of trade are made there, as well as in
the other parts of Australia, yet the prospect of abundant crops
as Well as a great increase in the quantity of wool, is good.
The necessity and importance of communication with other
settlements was fully admitted, and measures were about being
taken to carry such improvements into effect.
