COMMERCE.

By the last accounts from America Trade appears
to he somewhat brisk at New York, Philadelphia,
and Charlestown, but the prices of some articles ra-
ther law, owing to a superabundance being poured
into the market. This is particularly the case at New
York. Several large orders have however been trans-
mitted, for Manchester fabrics, especially fustians ;
which has had the effect to produce employment for
a number of hands that were out of work, so that
there is now a little bustle in Lancashire.

Letters from Barnsley and the neighbourhood, de-
scribe the Linen Weavers to be still in a deplorable
state, on account of the want of sufficient employ-
ment, and the low rate of wages paid to those who
are in work.

• One of the largest Factories in Yorkshire, situated
at Leeds, erected by Messrs. CLAYTON and Gorisioe,
at-an expense of £60,000, for the manufacture (4'
flax, canvas, and linen. Sec. has been closed, and se.
ieril hundreds of hands in consequence tuned ouf
of employment. It is said to be the intention of tht.
late proprietor, Mr. GOIISIDE, tore:novo to the liiiit,-N.l
States, where, in the vicinity of New York, he in-
tends carrying on similar manufactures, on an ex-
tensive scale. It is quite evident, that if the tide of
emigration is not checked, America wiil possess her-
self-of many thousands more.of our best and most
skilful artisans.

On the subject of emigration, however, the private
letters from New York and Philadelphia :u c extremely
at variance with each other, sonic of them asserting
that there is little or no employment to be procured,
and that many hundreds of Europcati emigrants arc
literally starving fur want n work ; while others, on
the contrary, assert that there is sufficient employ-
ment for every useful handicraftsman and labourer
that chuses to work; and that it will b.: impossible
for. any to meet with .a disappointment, who go out
with a determination to be industrious.

There was a good supply of Wheat, Barley, and
Oats, at Norwich Market on Saturday; but little
other grain was offered for sale. PiICOS atT still uu
the decline. The Cattle market was well supplied
with both Scots and llomebreds, which wine dis-
posed of on terms much as of late. The sheep. pens
were also tolerably well filled.

AGRICULTURE,
MONTHLY REPORT FOR MARCH.

A more favoured Spring. whether with respect to the crops
or the operations of husbandry, has neet:r been witnessed. Tne
Wheats are in a remarkable state of forwardness; and c.eld
their progress be in proportion. harvest might be finished in
South Britain during July, oid style. ;he quantity of March
dust which has flown. has had the full of its proverbial good
effect. All the spring crops which are above ground *ear a
luxuriant and promising appearance, with those occasional ex-
ceptions to be expected ; and the latter seed season is likely to
be favourable. A!! parts of the country are unusually early.--
Tbelambing has been in general very successful, as might be
expected in such a season.
