The Commercial Glance, published by Mr. Burn,
of Manchester, for 1849, contains some striking
results, illustrative of our position as a manufac-
turing people. We shall give a brief summary of
the principal items of this able publication.
Of the article of cotton yarn the exports last
year were, 127,121,446 lbs., against 116,512,874 lbs.
in 1847, and 157,130,025 lbs. in 1846. Of plain
calicoes the export was, in 1848, 556,199,538 yards,
against 488,044,682 yards in 1847, and 618,839,181
yards in 1846. Of printed and dyed calicoes the
export was, in 1848, 301,515,780 yards, against
287,384,903 yards in 1847, and 267,084,797 yards
in 1846. In the first two articles there has thus
been an increase in 1848 over the preceding year,
but a considerable decrease as compared with 1846.
In the article of printed and dyed calicoes there is
an increase over the whole of a period commencing
at 1844.

WE have not been careless, albeit silent obgerVel%
of the course pursued by the government and the
post-office authorities with reference to the postal
arrangements between this town and Dublin, since
the opening of the railway to Holyhead, and the
line of packets established on that station. Ad-
mitting the paramount importance of securing the
most rapid transit between London and Dublin,
we cannot close our eyes to the scarcely secondary
importance of maintaining, at least, on its former
footing, the facility of intercourse between Dublin
and Liverpool. We made every allowance for the
irregularities inseparable from the first working of
any new system, and so complained not of the
positive injury arising to Liverpool by the removal
of the day mail-packet altogether, and the incon-
veniently early departure from Dublin of the City
of Dublin Company's contract packet ever since.
The Dublin letters that, under the old regime,
would have reached time enough for the first or
second delivery, do not come to hand until the
evening, and sometimes not until the next day.
And a similar delay occurs in the delivery of Liver-
pool letters in Dublin : for, while there is an
especial delivery of London letters there, on the
arrival of the mail from Holyhead, the Liverpool
letters must take chance of the next delivery that
takes place after their arrival—all this being, of
course, to the manifest injury of both places, and
to the detriment of the trade maintained between
them. We felt and saw this all along, but still we
waited and hoped, not unreasonably, that all would
speedily he adjusted—that while the intercourse
between the two capitals was facilitated, the inte-
rests of such a port as this would by no means be
compromised. But now, we are informed, that it
is in contemplation not to renew the contract with
the City of Dublin Company for conveying the
mails direct between this and Dublin, which ex-
pires in June next, after which the entire commu-
nication both of letters and passengers must of
necessity be directed through Holyhead. We
think it becomes the duty of our Liverpool Corpo-
ration to take care that no such slight or injury be
inflicted upon our town and trade. One single
firm remonstrance will be sufficient to secure for
Liverpool that accommodation to which she is
largely entitled. The abettors of the Holyhead
scheme would not be over desirous to have a com-
parison instituted between the two ports as steam-
boat stations, nor to have public attention directed
too minutely to the result of the experiment even
of the fast boats, since they have been in operation.
We will return to the subject; meanwhile hoping
that some of our influential Town Councillors will
take notice of the matter in his place in the Town-
h all.

to be applied to the carrying on of the works, as
far as such a sum would go. By the same act the
constitution of the company was materially altered,
by the admission to the board of a certain number
of Wallasey commissioners, and a number of re-
presentatives of the bondholders, the estate being
thus rescued from the effect of the original predo-
minance on the board, of Birkenhead commissioners
and land speculators. The money, authorised to
be borrowed under the act, has been raised, we
believe, by some of the leading bondholders,
amongst whom are several gentlemen of most
undoubted wealth, and equally undoubted honesty
of purpose. By the new board, constituted as we

upon, of which, although we do not pledge ourselves
to every detail, we believe the following, as given by
the contemporary, to whose account we refer, to be
about correct, The bridges, gates, &c. of the
Morpeth and Egerton Docks are to be completed;
and the entrance through the Woodside basin
deepened. A dock of 18 acres within the dam is
to be completed, with walled wharfs, and having a
minimum depth of water of 22 feet. As the most
important work, the great float of 150 acres is to
be temporarily penned up, until the completion of
the outer works, affording space for the discharge
and floating of the timber trade, and also render-
ing the land, which has a frontage of four miles,
available for building yards, foundries, and other
purposes. The works at present resolved upon are
let to a most enterprising contractor, Mr. M'Cor-
mack ; and nothing will be attempted which it is
not perfectly within the means of the parties now
at the head of affairs to complete, whilst the most
strict discrimination has been used in selecting ;or
completion such portions of the entire scheme as
are most likely to be at once beneficial and pro-
fitable in their operation.

their train, fostering typhus by crowding in large number

Up to the present time it is notorious that these
works have been most grossly mismanaged ; that
the board has been most injudiciously constituted
of parties having interests totally separate from the
dock proprietary and bondholders ; and hence, in
some measure, the bad odour, into which a project,
calculated to serve equally both sides of the river,
has fallen. From the first we objected to these docks
and our own being treated as antagonistic interests.
Unfortunately our warnings were nothstened to, and
bad feeling on both sides, accompanied by injurious
litigation, followed. Most sincerely we trust that,
on the part of the inhabitants of both sides of the
Mersey, this absurd jealousy of each other will be
permitted to die away. Liverpool may well afford
to say to Birkenhead, with Uncle Toby to the poor
fly, that he was urged to tread upon, " There is
room enough for both thee and me !" We, on this
side of the Mersey have now a guarantee, in the
