thassgh Mr. Rush, at the very utmost, was instructed to
contend for nothing snore than Mr. Pitt would have
granted in 1783, as has been seen lately in the co-
lumns of this Journal. Long ambitious of treading
in thiefootsteps oT his great patron and prototype in all
things else, we are here struck with the awakening fact,,,
if more had been wanting to awaken us upon this point,
that, in the matter of according to our flag a substantial
reciprocity of trade and navigation• in the West Indies,
Mr. Canning would not tread in the footstep; even of
Mr. Pitt. The friend of Plato indeed, but always more
the friend of Britain! Finally, it was_ Mr, Canning,
who, in 1826, departed from the very pledge that had
' been given to resume the negotiations of the year
1824, and, standing upon his perpetual desire to
promote more fully. the aggrandizement of the British
fl +g in the whole range of colonial, as at every other
point of competition, whatever may have been the al.
leged motive of the departure, abruptly closed tbedis.
of those negotiations, whilst our Minister, Gallatin; was
' within but a few hours sail of the English shores. This
Minister, too, in a spirit of the .highest conciliation on,
the part of his Government, had at, length been autho•
rised to forego the point for
_which it had antecedently
been the duty of that Government to contendOe very'
point Once conceded CO us by Mr. Prtg—thereby re-

But we will stop. Mr. Canniog's name belongs to
history, and we are presuming to touch it whilst the
shock of his death still rings in our ears. To departed)
genius reverence is due. Britain has emit:abed hiaasoolt

public career was brilliant and commanding. That it
has been as brief as brilliant does but recal the pathetic
exclamition of Burke " What shadows we are, and what

COMMERCIAL INThLLIGENCE-THIS DAY.

SAL! Or E&sr INDIA SILKS.—This mornial the
ale of the East India Company's Bengal Raw Silk terminated. the

whole quantity offered, el; 2000 bale; ttaving been purchased at a
considerable advance on the last sale. 'The contention to retails
the coarser description was greater than recollected for a long time
past ; animating allowance Inc the late Improvement in the Silk
Trade, the quotations obtained since Monday havebeen much above
what was at all expected. The silks are divided into three classes.
The first, consisting, of the fame and better polities, have gone off
front one to two per cent. on the bat sale; the middling sorts
from ail to eight per cent. and the more inferior debriptions, of
which the larger portion of the Company's Declaration consists,
from 10 to IL' per cent. higher than last sale. The priers obtabed
at the former side' were upon an average five per cent. above those
obtained at the February sale, dun making an improvement lo the

quotations of East India. Silks, since the commencement of the
Nestor year, of not less than from 10 to 13 per cent. The Wee/
privileged Bengal raw silk has Past commenced, for which equally
high vices are expected to be given. The extreeedinary high
prices given for East India has produced a corresponding advance
le all other description* of silks; and upon the whole it may with
truth be stated, that the Silk Trade at the present moment exhibite-
a degree of briskness not equalled at any period during the last three
or four years.
