TRADE AND COMMERCE

The monthly Accounts relating to Trade and Naviga-
tion continue to tell awkward tales. What a pity that the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce cannot suppress them,
as "inconvenient and unnecessary."—ss they have dons
the " weekly return of unemployed hands in the borough
of Manchester."

The general character of the facts revealed in these ac-
counts, is that of increasing imports, and decreasing ex-
ports. We will give a few samples, being the results of
the first ten months of 1848, compared with the first ten
months of 1846.

THE LATE IBRA HI M PASHA.
Ibrahim. Pasha has left only three sons living—Ahmed
Bey, born in 1825 ; Ishmael Bey, born in 1830, both pur-
suing their studies in Paris ; and Mustapha.Bey, born in
1832, at present in Cairo.
Ibrahim Pasha was buried with military honours, but
with little ceremony, on the day of his death, in Mehemet
Ali's family tomb, in the vicinity of Cairo. Selim Pasha
has gone to the Upper Country to see that order and tran-
quillity are maintained there, and during the temporary
absence of Abbas, Said Pasha assumed the authority in
Cairo.

Abbas Pasha, who succeeds Ibrahim in thegovernnaent
of the country, was born in Arabia, in 1813. He is the
son of Toussoon. Pasha, Mehemet Ali's second'son, who
died of the plague in the year 1816, and his right to the
succession arises from his being at present the eldest
living male member of Mehemet Ali's family.

CHARITY BALL AT AINTREE.—The charity ball at the
Grand Stand, Aintree, under the patronage of the Earl
and Countess of Sefton, will take place in the Large Room,
on Wednesday, the 13th instant. It is fully expected
that the attendance will be numerous, and that the affair
will be at once brilliant and delightful.
STREET ACCIDENT.—On the night of the 25th of last
month, a man named John Moony, aged 54, was crossing
Parliament-street, when a cart coming down, went over
him. Whether he had fallen down before the cart came
up or was knocked down there is no proof. He died on
Saturday.

RAPHAEL'S ALMANAC. This prophetic messenger,
which last year contained such a singular prediction—since
verified—of the revolution in France, is now published
for next year. It contains many new predictions as to the
weather, political commotions, &c., which are interesting
to the curious. There is also much valuable information
in addition of a miscellaneous kind.
BITING A MAN'S EAR OFF.—At the Police-court' yes-
terday, an elderly man, named Robert Rushton, who had
his_head bandaged up, preferred a charge against a rough-

looking young-man,' named Robert Beggs, for having:
violently assaulted him. The prisoner is a carter, and
was employed by the complainant in that capacity. He
was at work on Saturday, and complainant paid his wages
to his wife. Prisoner next day came to his masters, and
on his refusing him money, he struck complainant, and
in a scuffle which ensued, actually bit off a great part of

the wound, said that about half the ear was to
off. The prisoner was committed for trial.
CHARGE OF STEALING WEARING APPAREL.—Yester-
day, at the police-court, a female named Ann Smith, and
her daughter, a young girl, were committed on a charge
of havinc, stolen a quantity of clothes, &c., the property
of several parties. In the elder prisoner's house there
were found a box or case, containing, amongst other
things, a kettle-holder, eight pairs of socks, a muffler,
It was proved that the kettle-holder was
eirthur Littlejohn, of Bold-street,

some tea, &c.
the property of

taggart, draper, and Mr.. Sillitoe, tea dealer.
LIVERPOOL iNDUSTRIA.L. SCHOOL SOCIETY.—We are
glad to find that a strong effort is now making to extend
the number of ragged schools in this town, to which the
half-clothed and ill-fed children of our struggling poor
can resort for mental cultivation ; and which will attempt
to reclaim the hundreds of those children who, steeped in
ignorance, and with vice and improvidence daily before
their eyes in their cwn wretched homes, are cast upon our
streets, and almost thrust into crime. We have before us
a prospectus of a society for the promotion of this object,
of which we observe that his Worship, the- Mayor, is

chairman, ex-officio, supported by an influential commit-
tee, and with a very active secretary in Mr. J. Hubback ;

the meantime, we invite 'every friend of order and of
religion to give the society the benefit of his aid in the
furtherance °fan object so beneficial. Amongst the com-
mittee are Chas. Cotesworth, Esq., and T. B. Horsfall,
Esq. ; T. D. Anderson, Esq., is the treasurer.
CURIOUS SEAMAN'S CASE.—Two seamen, who had
belonged to the ship Hero, of this port, and also the com-
mander of the ship, Capt. Grant, appeared before Mr.
Rushton yesterday, with a view to clear up a circumstance
of, we believe, rare occurrence, the shipping of foreign for
British seamen. Capt. Grant said that the ship sailed
from Liverpool for Bonny on the 17th July last. Two
seamen were shipped on board the vessel by Mr. Hodson,
jun., as British seamen, and they produced register tickets.
After the ship had been out a few days, the captain found
that both the men were foreigners, and that one of them
could not speak a word of English. He had, however, no
fault to find with them, and had no objection to pay them
their wages. The tickets were produced: Messrs.
