COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

We copy the following from a New Mislead Paper of the
14th January The manufactures of New Inglond have
advanced during the past year, in a ratio far exceeding the
most eager anticipation of the friends of domestic industry. It
is a fact worthy of notice, that some of the very individual mer-
chants, dealers in British cloths, who in Boston raised Jigs
during the war, as indicative of their determination to resist the
Government In prosecuting measures which should prevent an
unrestricted trade with Great &halo—some of the same mer-
chants who scouted the idea of American manufactures-4re

now Investing theft money for the erection of large cotton and
woollen factories."

Letters from Batavia' of the 9th November, mend= that the
Sugar crops had entirely failed.
Letters were received this morning from Odessa to the 25th
ult. but comain no politics. Some large order., however, for
shipments to that port have been received, which is considered
a freconable Indication of the state of affairs.

During this week there has been some improvement in West
India produce. Coffee is 3s.itearer, and is in request for home
consumption. Sugar is also a shade dearer for the same purpose.
It is understood that an arrangement of great importance between
the American Minister and our Government, is on the point of
being concluded, by which there will in future he a direct com-
munication between America and our West India Colonies. This
is a part of the intended alteration in our Navigation Laws, and
will be of great advantage to the West India Proprietors. Pi.
mento is a good deal dearer, and even Rum is a little higher in
consequence of the prospect of this additional outlet. An Act of
Parliament must, however, be obtained, before the arrangement
can be carried into execution.

It is generally thought that the reduction in the Mak Duty
will not take place before the sth of July, and eaneripaently there
has been a great damp thrown on the sales of Malt, neither the
*ewer nor the Maltster knowing exactly what the duty at pre-
sent is. The former will only therefore buy from necessity until
he knows when the reduction is actually to take place.
Baltic produce is very dull. Tallow is rather on the decline,
and is nominally quoted at 55 to 57.
Irish provisions (beef and pork) are without any alteration.
The request for bacon has revived; prime at 355. The ronti.
nued mildness prevents any improvement in batten; the quan-
tity of inferior Irish presses on the market, and the prices must
be quoted es. to 4s. lower. There is very little business doing
in tobacco; the late prices are, however, maintained. It is diffi-
cult to give correct quotations of yellow candle tallow, on ac-
count of the few purchases lately, the extender holders and spe-
culators demand 58e. but the nearest quotation is 565. the spe-
culators have been much disappointed, no duty being yet re.
pealed, nor any discussion in Parliament even upon the probabi-
lity of such a measure.
