kary measures, and disabuse the minds of the poor from
apprehension of contagion. The latter part of the letter

T strictly termed clerical duties.

divillual houses the corn trade of the year 1847 has
been fully as disastrous as the cotton trade or the
manufacturing business. It is, however, consola-
tory to us, as a community, that, at least, we have
secured an ample supply of the necessaries of life
in the country, which, added to a favourable har-
vest at home, renders the prospect of food at rea-
sonable prices a matter of certainty in the year
which is before us.

THE CURRENCY.—Thus far our disasters are
attributable to direct causes—the failure of our
potato crop, and the consequent necessity of large
importations of food from abroad, a short crop of
cotton, and the effect of a reduction in our com-
mercial tariff. But a still greater disturbing cause
has exhibited itself in our system of currency,
which has shewn itself incapable of sustaining the

extensive importL To this cause we have to
attribute they .vast depreciation which has taken
place during the year in nearly every description of
property :

stocks, and even a portion of the losses which have
been sustained in cotton, corn, sugar, and other
merchandize, and of that total want of confidence
which has prostrated so many of our leading com-
mercial firms. Upon this subject the circular of
Messrs. Haywood, M'Viccar, and Co., of this town,
contains some very valuable remarks :

I harvest

%t home had reduced the price of wheat

elow the quotations of May ; Prices, in fact,
ere lower here than in foreign ports, and consequently
the fear of any additional export of bullion for fresh
purchases of corn need not to have been felt. The want
of confidence naturally following the failures of those
engaged in the corn trade, and the drooping condition of
allother branches of business, were such as might have
been materially counteracted by some relaxation in the
working of the bill, and the minds of people would at least
have been tranquiized. That the progress of such a state
,e I of things should have been allowed to go on, for even a

month or six weeks, when a timely interference, perhaps,
might have obviated a great portion of the mischief, is a
matter only to be accounted for by the obstinacy of those
who sacrifice everything to a theory. To suppose that an
earlier relaxation of the bill, with a high rate of interest
fixed, would have given a stimulus to speculation appears
a fallacy. Distrust prevented many foreign orders from
being executed which would have corrected the exchanges,
and prices were forced down suddenly to a runious extent
both for the raw material and manufactured goods, when,
had a milder system been pursued, the fall would have
been gradual and less overwhelming. Indeed the conse-
quences of the relaxation of the bill when it did take
place, at the eleventh hour, proved incontestibly, not
only what benefits an earlier suspension would have
realized, but also what uncalled for misery and confisca-
tion it might have prevented."

THE PROSPECTS OF 1848,—Upon this head we
adhere to the view, which we had previously enter-
tained, that we have still a further period of suffer-
ing to undergo. The whole fabric of our com-
mercial body is too completely disorganized, and
out of joint, to be restored to health, except after
passing through a process of purgation, under
which it is probable that many parties, at present
far removed above suspicion, are, in all probability,
doomed to sink. We quote a somewhat opposite
opinion, contained in the very able circular of
Messrs. Dufay, Collins, and Co., to which we have
already referred. These gentlemen say—
