The reform of 1836 was considered a great amelioration, as
indeed it was ; but the spirit of progress since that time has
been such as to'render a larger concession necessary, both as
regards the mercantile relations between England and France,
and the general international intercourse, which has aug-
mented considerably, in spite of the pestage barrier that still
existed. The new treaty will, therefore, give universal satis-
faction in England and in France, and we trust that nothing
will occur to prevent its being speedily put in force.—Galig-

WEST INDIES.

The Tay steamer, bringing the West India mail, has made
a quick passage, not being a day behind the period allowed
for her arrival, a fact worthy of notice, as showing that it
was, after all, the want of experience, as much as anything
else, which produced those delays hitherto occurring, and
which formed such just basis of complaint among the mer-
cantile interest connected with the various islands. 'When
the revised plan lately submitted and approved of by the
body of shareholders in the company carrying out this im-
portant undertaking shall have been put in full operation,
there is every reason to expect that the voyages will be
successfully and punctually performed, and without any of
those interruptions which, whether viewed in the spirit of
opposition from parties who had other objects in contempla-
tion, or interference on the part of authorities in some of the
islands connected with other powers, were, of course, calcu-
lated to arrest in some measure the perfect developement of
the system. The dates by the Tay came dawn as late as the
9th of September from Jamaica, the 2d from Trinidad, the
3d from Barbadoes, the Ist from St. Vincent's, the 24th of
August from Demerara, the 26th from St. Kitt's, and the
24th from

By the advices from Jamaica it appears that the commercial
prospeJts ui tue lbiallu are navy oecuiniug more disheartening,
tee great causes being the distrust of capitalists and the de-
ficiency of labour. As some remedy to this discouraging
state of things, the merchants contemplate the reduction of
the freight of sugar to ls. per cwt. ; and it was expected
that a meeting would be called on the subject. The present
rate of freight from Jamaica nearly doubles that from Ha-
vannah, and it is said exceeds that from the East Indies.
A lighthouse has been erected on Moran-point, and will be
illuminated on the Ist of November, with a revolving light.
The tower is painted white, and stands 103 feet above the
level of the sea, the centre of the light being 96 feet, and dis-
tinguishable at the distance of 21 miles in clear weather. The
arrival of a native of St. Domingo, who called himself a
brother of the late King of Hayti, had afforded much amuse-
ment at Jamaica. He came with a company of young ne-
groes, and tcok up his abode in a most respectable lodging-
house. A black levee was held every day, and the
appearance of royalty was kept up, when at last the landlord
applied for payment, and was informed that the prince wished
the claim to be deferred till he had received the sum of
£40,000 due to him from the British government. The
whole affair ended with the mock prince being sent to the
House of Correction. The Portuguese are said to be car-
rying on the slave-trade as assiduously as ever, in spite of
all the efforts of this country to restrain them.
The Trinidad papers contain the special report of the Agri-
cultural Association on the result of the crops, which states
that throughout the season the weather having been highly
favourable, the planters, with few exceptions, had succeeded
in advantageously manufacturing their sugars, little of which
now remained in the curing houses, and the general conse-
quence was, that the quantity exported this year up to the
31st of July exceeded by 450 hhds. that exported in the same
period last year. The total amount of produce so shipped is
stated at 18,394 hhds., 1,173 tierces, and 3,354 barrels of
sugar, 6,312 puncheons, and 436 tierces molasses, and 81
puncheons of rum. With respect to the condition of labour
in the island, it is remarked that the rate of wages continued
high compared with the quantity of work performed, while
also great difficulty still existed in obtaining it continuously.
Many estates are represented as being in great distress for
want of bands. The circulation of counterfeit coin had occa-
sioned much vigilance among the shopkeepers. The money,
from its clumsy manufacture, appears to be easily detected,
and the magistrates have made an example by summarily.
punishing two or three parties who had tendered it in pay-
ment of goods.
In the Barbadoes journals complaints are made of the scar-
city of cash and provisions, and the middling classes were
suffering, not only from the high prices which were asked for
the necessaries of life, such as corn meal, flour, bread stuffs,
yarns, and potatoes, but also from the difficulty they experi-
enced in finding the means wherewith to purchase, in conse-
quence of the restricted condition of the circulating medium.
According to the dccounts from St. Lucia, the estates were
suffering much from the prolonged drought and excessive
heat ; for though occagional showers had visited the island
during the month, they were light and partial.

FACTORY LABOUR IN AUSTRIA.—The Vienna Gazette
announces officially, that the Austrian Government has come
to the following regulations with regard to the labour of
children in manufactories, which furnish an example worthy
of imitation nearer home :-1. The earliest age at which
children can be employed is fixed at 12 years. 2. The only
exception shall be for children who at 9 years of age have for
three years received a religious education and attended school;
but as long as these children shall continue at an age which
they ought to attend school, the manufacturers shall watch
over their education, and call into them ministers of the
Gospel, but without interrupting their work. 3. For chil-
dren between 9 and 12 years old the maximum of the time
they are to work is fixed at ten hours, and between 12 and
16 years of age at 12 hours, but they shall be allowed an
interval of one hour. 4. Manufacturers shall be bound to
prevent all disorder and scandalous conduct among the adults
in their establishments. 5. Manufacturers shall keep regis-
ters, in which shall be entered the names and ages of the
children, their residences, and the period at which they en-
tered the manufactory. This registrar shall be produced
before the magistrate and the minister of public worship
whenever it may be required. 6. All contravention of these
regulations shall be punished with a fine of from 2 to 100
florins; and in case of a repetition of the offence, the offen-
der may be interdicted from having any children under 12
years of age in his employment. 7. The authorities are char-
ged with the enforcement of these regulations.
FRENCH AND ENGLISH COMSIENCE.—The Journal du
Havre contains the following interesting statistical report :
In 1841, the English ports received or despatched 42,719
vessels, measuring 7,525,585 tons. There had been, in 1840,
42,455 vessels, and 7,497,833 tons. This increase is incon-
siderable; but it must be stated that, in the preceding year,
the augmentation amounted to 882,000 tons. The tonnage
of the vessels leaving or entering the ports of France, in 1840,
was 2,896,000 tons. In 1839, the amount was 2,930,000 tons ;
showing, it is true, only'a small falling off, but still it was a
falling off. Up to this point, putting aside the enormous
numerical inferiority of our tonnage,'the comparison is but
little importance; but it becomes eminently discouraging
when the parts which the shipping of both countries have
taken respectively in the general movement are considered.
In England, out of 7,525,585 tons, English vessels transported
5,525,429, giving a proportion of 74 to 26, or about three-
fourths. In France, out of 2,896,000 tons, our vessels took
only 1,211,000 tons, or a proportion of 42 to 98, or a little
more than two-fifths. Titus, whilst for England the results
of the preceding year give the same returns, showing that if
the movement of the national navigation has not progressed,
it has not at least retrograded. In France, the same exami-
nation shows, that in the space of a year only. foreign ship-
ping has taken from us a twenty-fifth part of the carrying
trade. In 1841, the coasting trade of England gave the hrge
total of 22.183,047 tons. In France, in 1840, the quantity
was only 1,314,735 tons, not much more than the tenth part.
The average burden of vessels employed in the English coast-
ing trade is about 80 tons, whilst in France it only amounts
to 27 tons. The whole of the merchant vessels of England
amounted, in 1840, to 28,692, measuring 3,311,528 tons.
France, at the same period, possessed 15,6U0 vessels, the ton-
nage of which did not exceed 662,600 tons. A remark which
these figures suggest, and which is not without interest, is,
that. whilst the number of our vessels is equal to nearly the
half of those possessed by Great Britain, the amount of their
tonnage scarcely reaches a fifth part."
EASTERN AFFAIRS.—The Univers publishes a letter from
Syria, announcing that the inhabitants of one entire village,
situate near Bethlehem, and inhabited by Greek Catholics,
had been obliged, in order to save themselves from the per-
secution they had endured for many years at the hands of
schismatic Greeks, who were instigated thereto by Russia, to
apostatize and conform to the schismatic creed. After draw-
ing a frightful picture of the sufferings of the Christian po-
pulation of Syria, ever since the Four Powers took them un-
der their protection, that journal adds—" Alas! shall Syria,
like Poland, be considered beyond the reach of relief ? Shall
we, then, likewise suffer an entire Catholic population to be
smothered in cold blood ? In Poland we had Catholic bre-
thren and allies to array against the encroachments of Russia
in Europe, and in the East we could oppose our Catholic
brethren and allies of Syria to the encroachments of Russia
on the Ottoman empire. Who shall now be found to side
with us and fight (r battles at the inevitable hour of the cri-
sis, and share the perils of the struggle ? We abandoned to
their fate the Catholics of Spain and Switzerland. We every-

The Directors, in consequence of the recent heavy losses
sustained by the Insurance Companies, have considered it
expedient to revise the tariff of Mercantile Premiums in Li-
verpool, and to fix the foregoing scale as suitable to existing
circumstances.
In making this announcement, the Board are desirous of
expressing their hope that the present serious addition to the
previous high rates for such Insurances, will, by the intro-
duction of improvements in the construction and manage-
ment of Warehouses, be rendered temporary only ; and they
beg to assure the community that they will be prepared to
reconsider them, so soon as the requisite alterations shall
have been accomplished.
With a view to encourage in individuals the adoption of
measures for the better security against Fire of the Ware-
house Property, the Directors have determined to act upon
the following resolutions :
All Warehouses in the Northern and Central Districts
which shall conform to certain requirements of the Com-
tany, will be rated at a premium of 2s. per cent. per annum.
less than those specified above ; and those in the Southern
Diatrict at Is. per cent. less.
All Warehouses which, on the principal of the London
Dock Warehouse, shall be worked by porters in the em-
ployment and under the control of the Tenant of the Ware-
house only, whether the property deposited in them belong
to one Firm or more, will be rated as in single occupation.
In thus enunciating new principles by which to regulate
the Mercantile Premiums in Liverpool, the Directors rely
with confidence on a continuance of that support of which
the Company hitherto has enjoyed so large a share.

at the close of the season, peculiarly agreeable.

THE GREENHOUSE.—If the plants of this department are
not already snugly housed in their winter quarters,
should be permitted yet further to delay this very necessary
proceeding. Already on two or three occasions the ther-
mometer has stood at 31 Fahrenheit, or just one degree be-
low the freezing point—a sufficient degree of cold to injure
some plants very seriously, although it is probable that, the
injury might not be immediately apparent. After nine o'clock
in the morning the houses should be freely ventilated, but
may be shut up again about four in the afternoon.
THE FLOWER-GAILDEN.—The period is now rapidly ap-
proaching at which the alterations and improvements in this
department may be most advantageously effected, and we
should recommend those who contemplate such proceedings,
to mature their plants, and to set to work while the weather
is so favourable.
Tax KITCHEN-GAUDEN.—Lose no time in getting up the
late potatos, carrots, parsnips, beet, &c. The crops of win-
ter spinach should be weeded and thinned if necessary, or
the crop will soon be overrun with chickweed, and other
running weeds. While the mould is tolerably dry earth up
finally the crops of brocoli and Brussels sprouts, drawing the
mould carefully up round the stems of the plants.
