310 ING, JAN.

28, 1845

We have had within the last few days a variety
of reports as to the changes likely to occur in the
_ raving to the death of the Earl of Saint
3ermains and the consequent succession of his son
Lord Eliot (the present Secretary for Ireland) to
the peerage. Amongst those mentioned as likely
to occupy this important position, we have seen the
names of Lords Lincoln, Ashley, and Mahon, Sirs
Thomas Freemantle and George Clerk and the
Hon. Sidney Herbert—the latter of whom, accord-
ing to the Dublin Evening Mail, is considered in
Ireland as the most likely party, whilst the
Morning Chronicle states that our noble representa-
tive, Lord Sandon, is the party selected by Govern-
ment for . the Secretaryship. The Chronicle,
however, is in error in his facts so far as the move-
ments of his Lordship are concerned. That paper
states that " the Noble Viscount came rather unex-
pectedly to town from Sandon Hall, Staffordshire,
where his Lordship was passing the winter with his
father, the Earl of Harrowby, and a family circle ;"
and adds that on Friday afternoon he waited upon
Sir Robert Peel, with whom he had a protracted
interview. It was from Liverpool that his Lordship
was summoned to London, for which he left on
Friday morning by the mail train; and the current
report here yesterday was, that Mr. W. E. Glad-
stone goes to Ireland, Lord Sandon occupying his
post as President of the Board of Trade. So far as
Lord Sandon is concerned there can he no doubt of
his eminent fitness for the office set down to him,
but we have considerable doubts of Mr. Gladstone
being selected, or, in case of selection, consenting
to go to Ireland. It is probable, however, that
yesterday's London Evening papers may contain
something decisive upon the subject, which will be
communicated to the subscribers to the STANDARD
in our Town Edition.

In our notice, last- week, of the main facts deduci-
ble from the ably-compiled tables in Burn's Com-
Inercial Glance, we shewed that a very material, and
most beneficial, increase had taken place in our ex-
port trade during the past year, as compare:] with
the year preceding. We propose now to direct the
attention of our commercial readers to the particu-
lar markets, and the class of manufactured goods,
in which such increase, or, on the other hand, a de-
crease has manifested itself.
In the article of cotton yarn we stated that we had
a decreased export, amounting to 19,112,524 lbs.
The greater portion of this has occurred in our
shipments to the Hanse Towns, which shell• a fall-
off this year of 12,104,908 ]is; to Holland,
le deficiency is 9,115,677 lbs ; to Naples and
cily, where the decrease was 2,592,366 lbs. The
only material increase observable is in our ship-
ments to Belgium, 3,390,008 lbs., and to India and
China, 1,479,119. We have no conclusive reasons
to adduce for this. It is scarcely to he inferred that
the markets supplied from the Hanse towns, and
other markets where this decrease is observable,
have during the past year become self-dependent, to
the extent of one-fourth of their average imports of
:ie preceding two years ; and we rather conclude
that they have been driven, by the scarcity of the
article in this country, owing to the demand for
manufactured products, to fall back upon the stocks
on hand, the surplus of former years' importations ;
and that we may look for increased shipments in
the year which is before us. We may remark that
we find no materially increased exports of perfected
fabrics to these countries, to account for their fa.l-
- off in the consumption of our yarns. On the
contrary, Holland has taken only half of her last
year's supply of calicoes : viz. 13,890,634 yards in
1844 against 27,014,624 yds. in 1843. The latter
year, however, was one of extraordinary import, the
excess over the preceding one being equal to the
decrease upon this year.

The increase and decrease which have taken place
in our exports of manufactured goods exhibit some
singular facts. Our exports of plain calicoes to
Brazil and South America (markets which, it has
been so confidently said, we had lost) have increased
from 45,293,498 yds. in 1843 to 56,636,533 in 1844,
or upwards of one-fourth : and this is in addition to
a large increase over the year 1842, when the ex-
ports to these markets were only 31,977,181 yards.
In printed and dyed calicoes the exports to the same
markets were in 1843 30,644,663 yds., and, in 1844,
39,764,383 yds. Our exports of plain calicoes to
Belgium, which amounted to only 647,989 yrds. in
1843, have increased to 4,253,495 yds. in 1844, and
those of printed and dyed calicoes from 1,413,852
yards in 1843 to 1,888,156 in 1844; and this, not-
withstanding the increase noticed in the article of
yarns. Our exports of plain calicoes to the coast of
Africa have fallen from 17,707,801 yds. in 1843 to
1,894,016 in 1844—a fact which we leave others to
account for. We may state, however, that those of
1842 were only 5,712,560 lbs., and of 1841 only
1,181,957 yds. The exports to the same markets,
of printed and dyed calicoes, were, in 1843,
12,026,293 yds.. and in 1844 only 4,963,491 yds.
Our exports to France shew a singular and yet
gratifying feature. We sold to that country, in
1843, 3,326,257 yds. of plain calicoes ; and in 1844
only 947,366 yds., or less than a third of the quan-
tity. Of printed and dyed calicoes, however, we
sent to France, in 1843, 1,413,368 yds., and in 1844
4,856,283 yds.. It is impossible, of course, to trace
the exact causes of this change in the demand of
France for our goods. We cannot congratulate
ourselves upon the fact of our own printed goods
having entered more extensively into the consump-
tion of that country; but with greater safety, may
presume that she has taken them in this state, for
export, instead of buying them in the plain state,
and herself printing them for foreign markets. With
respect to the particular market, to which they have
gone for consumption, we may perhaps guess
rightly if we say Africa, to which our exports have
so materially decreased during the past year, and
where the French power has been so predominant.
The solution of this question is worthy of conside-
ration by those who view, as an insignificant mat-
ter, the aggressions of the French on the African
coast.

The greatest amount of increase, however, is ap-
parent in our exports of manufactured goods to In-
dia and China. In 1843 we sent to these markets,
of plain calicoes 191,253,520 yds. (nearly two-fifths
of our total exports), and, in 1844, 260,873,198, or
nearly one-half. Of printed and dyed calicoes we
lent to India, in 1843, 21,741,803 yards; and in
1844, 30,129,788 yds., an increase of nearly one-
third. The value of our Indian and China trades
we need not therefore comment upon.
The above facts, with those stat d last week, we
leave the commercial community to weigh for
themselves. They embrace, however, far from the
whole
exa-
minationtruth to be gathered from an attentive
of the " Commercial Glance," to which

we beg, in, conclusion, to refer our readers, as to
a work almost invaluable from the extent of infor-
mation which it conveys, and its general accuracy
of detail.
