aux and long-continued depression our operatives are in
many quarters earning increased wages ; all articles of food
are at low prices, and with a prospect of their so continuing,
and also with the prospect of continued good employment.
Thus, if some branches of business appear discouraging,
others (and those nearest home) are undoubtedly improving.
A low price for cotton is ever a most desirable consideration,
especially in this immediate vicinity."

But we must repeat that our main reliance must still be
upon ourselves ; we must look chiefly for the improvement
of our markets from our Indian, China, and colonial trade,
and finally from that enlarged consumption, which the reduc-
tion of our public expenditure, the removal of the encumber-
ing and disheartening income tax, and the development of
our own intrinsic and independent resources will introduce
into our own home market.

hi India, we have one hundred millions of subjects, and a
country of such extent as to comprehend every variety of soil
and climate; we may have sugar, and all tropical produce,
to any extent, and the gradual civilisation of the natives will
introduce a large demand for British manufacturers. It re-
quires only a better system of administration in England and
India to develop the vast resources of this mighty branch of
our colonial empire ; we must depart from the narrow sys-
tem of sacrificing the interests of this immense territory to
those of our West India Islands, and we must become more
attentive to the common interests of India and Great Britain.
Unless we greatly deceive ourselves, India, under a more in-
telligent system of commercial administration, would of it-
self more than supply all that we could possibly lose by the
European market, and would amply repay us for any new
privileges we might confer upon them. Without infringing
upon the territorial rights of the Company, we may at once
enrich India and ourselves.

In China, also, it is needless to speak of the enlarged trade
which we may reasonably expect from the new facilities now
afforded to us. " I have traversed China," said Sir George
Staunton, in the late debate in the House of Commons,
" from north to south in two successive embassies, and I re-
sided for some years in a public capacity under the Company
at Canton ; I am therefore enabled to give my testimony,
that the Chinese, from the greatest to the least, are willing
to take, and are able to consume British manufactures to a
very great extent, and that nothing is wanting but a careful
and vigilant system of commercial intercourse upon our part.
But we must have nothing to say to the opium trade; we
must not offend the public opinion of that empire, and the
determined purpose of the Emperor himself, by that odious
and immoral traffic."

In Australia, also, we have a wide and growing field for an
increasing demand upon the British market. Let us extend
this colony by an intelligent system of colonisation, an in-
creased encouragement of settlers, and we shall soon reap
the benefit of it by an augmented demand upon our home
market.

In Canada, also, we have already dons much by the pacific
conciliation of the two pattic3 which recently divided that
colony. Let us continue to pursue the same system and en-
courage her growth and trade, and we shall here also find
another outlet for British commodities.

Finally, let us add to this a steady and uniform reduction
of public burdens at home ; let us get rid of the main griev-
ance as soon as the public necessities will admit ; let us cut
off all useless expenditure and spare the public purse, and
we shall cease to have cause to complain of reduced con-
sumption, and unremunerating prices.—Bell's Weekly Me:-
