The Third Report of the Committee appointed by
the House of Commons in the last Session to consider
of the means of maintaining and improving the fo-
reign trade of the country, has just been printed. It
will be recollected, that to this Committee was re-
ferred the Report communicated by the Lords on the
Trade with the East Indies and China. The Com-
mittee begin by a general view of the peculiar regu-
lations which govern the commercial intercourse of
this country with the East Indies; next consider the
commerce of those possessions with other parts of the
world, and generally the trade of other countries in-
cluded within she limits of the Charter of the East
India Company, so far as the United Kingdom is in-
terested ; and after observing, in regard to the trade
with India, upon the " inexpediency of continuing
the restriction upon the tonnage of vessels, if it can
he done away without interfering with the rights of
the East India Company," and expressing their "hope
and confidence, that the other restrictions which the
system of 1813 imposts, may be put in force by the
Court of Directors and by the Commissioners for the
Affairs of India, with a constant recollection of the
inconvenience of all commercial restriction, and the
necessity of alleviating it wherever it cannot be re-
moved"—they conclude as follows:
" As to China, it is unnecessary for them to deprecate, be-
cause the House would assuredly never contemplate any inter-
ference, by authority of Parliament, witlithe monopoly secured
by law to the East India Company.
" Nor are they prepared to recommend as desirable, inde-
pendently of the consideration of public faith, any interference
with that branch of the China trade which is actually and pro-
fitably conducted by the Company, and constitutes their most
plentiful resource in aiding the administration of the countries
temporarily intrusted to their government.
" If your Committee were clearly satisfied that the monopoly
enjoyed and exercised by the Company, of the supply of 'l'ea to
the ,United Kingdom, would be in great danger of being either
lost or seriously injured, through the regulated admission of M-
ash traders to the ports of China, for the purpose of carrying on
those branches of trade in which the Company has ne immediate
concern ; and that this danger would be the peculiar consequence
of a relaxation of the monopoly in favour of British merchants,
while in the bands of foreigners a similar traffic may flourish
without injury to the Company—they would readily admit that
the duty of the Company might call on them to object to any
modification whatever, in either branch of their monopoly;
British subjects must, in such case, be still prohibited from re-
sorting to Canton, and from concerning themselves directly in
any branch of the trade in tea.
" But, after a full consideration of the subject, and of the
evidence taken by them, and communicated by the Lords, your
Committee cannot concur in all the apprehensions which the
East India Company appear to entertain, of the consequences
of a partial relaxation of their monopoly; and, on the other hand,
they concur in the substance of the opinion stated in the Report
of the Committee of the Lords referred to them, that under cer-
tain regulations calculated to obviate the principal objection that
'has been stated, without interfering with the monopoly of the
British market enjoyed by the East India Company, the British
merchant might be safely admitted to a participation in the di-
rect trade with the dominions of the Emperor of China : at the
same time considering, that as the monopoly, in its sttictest form,
is secured by law to the Company, they can only submit the evi-
dence, and their observations upon it, to the House."

CRITIQUES ON THE ABOVE WORK.
• A COLLECTION LIKE TRESS LIVES, WAS A DESIDERATUM in our
National Literature.--We could follow these Memoirs one by
one, and dwell upon the names and works of some of them until
we bad perhaps exhausted the reader's patience and our own
powers.--We are persuaded that the public wUI appreciate
this elegant little work at its due rate; for our own parts, we
have been much delighted with the entertainment it has afforded

One of the principal transactions in the Funds for
the last week has been the sale of £360,000, in Con-
sols, made by a Gentleman recently declared heir to
an immense property, and for the purpose of pur-
chising one of the finest estates in the kingdom.
GEORGE R ex's BA NKRUPTCL—This bankrupt, who
was committed to York Castle in September last, for
not answering satisfactorily to the Commissioners,
was again brought before them last week, and after a
further examination of five days, was recommitted to
the Castle. This bankruptcy is likely to be a subject
of serious inquiry, and has already been attended with
several incidents not very common; Mr. Jennings, of
Great Driffield, was the original Solicitor under the
Conimission ; but the present proceedings are con-
ducted by Mr. Boulton, of that place, as the Solicitor
to the Assignees ; and the Acting Commissioners are
Messrs. Shepherd, England, and Foster. It may, there-
fore, be truly said, that GEORGE Rex has been com-
mitted to prison by ENGLAND; cautioned by two of
our great Law Authorities, viz.—Shepherds Touch-
stone, and Foster's Crown Law.

" The Lives of Eaimrnv SCOTSXZN, by Me &lately of Ancient
Seats, is a little work which might subdue even the national anti-
pathies of. Dr. Johnson. It consists of short notices of the bio-
graphy and works of the most distinguished men of letters of
that nation, written in a very pleasing style • and its moderate
price and convenient size, bid fair to render it a familiar pocket
companion. Amongst the articles of most inteffist in this part
of the work (Penn) which is devoted to the Poets are the Lives
of James the First (of Scotland), Ramsay, Beattie, and Buena.
To the general English reader, such names as Barbour and Wyn-
toun are comparatively unknown ; but he cannot fail to be pleased
with the manner in which they are here Introduced 60 his fa-
vourable notice."—Monthly Mag.
I' Although the first part contains biographies only of persons
who are so well known that it might be supposed everything
respecting them had already been published, yet we here meet
with many new facts, some new productions of the author, and
an original estimate of the talents and character of each indivi-
dual. We are not led into the track of former biographers, but
each is an original memoir, as much so in style and diction as if
no other had existed."—Literary Caron.
0 It may be fairly stated, that the first part is a very agree-
able sample. We shall not go further into tie subject than to
signify our general approbation of its plan and execution."
