£160,000 has been distributed amongst the winners.
We observe in an announcement of a forthcoming number
of the Quarterly Review, that there is an article on the
anti-corn-law league.
Lord Ellenborough bas addressed a circular to the clergy
of the West and North Western Provinces of India, exhort-
ing them to special thanksgiving for the late successes in
Affghanistan. The letter would do honour to a bishop.
Upon a calculation made, it appears that the number of
deaths of children from fire in England, is more than the
average of females formerly immolated in India by the horrid
suttee.

This publication, which we have occasionally noticed as
being issued in weekly numbers, is now converted into " a
monthly ;" and taking the present number as a specimen,
we must candidly confess that we have to offer Messrs. Curry,
Nickisson, Tait, Bentley, and other publishers of our periodi-
cal literature, a grain or two of advice to look about them,
as they have now a very strong opponent started up in the
field, to " share the triumph and partake the gale" of public
favour, which they have so long monopolised. In its present
form it commands greater attraction than in its former state,
and it will take a yet firmer hold upon the respect of the
reading public. How It can be published at the price is sur-
prising, considering the outlay that must take place for its
contributions and illustrations : of the former there are
fifteen, of the latter three. The first article is entitled
" Windermere and Wordsworth," by Maurice Harcourt.
It is extremely interesting and well written. The interview
with the poet is pleasantly told. The poetical description of
the lake scenery is clever, and the stanzas harmonious. The
second contribution is a powerfully written Irish tale, called
" O'Donohue's Oath." This, and the preceding article, are
illustrated by spirited plates : " The Rescue " is admirably
executed. John Gibson, the Sherwood Poet, is next men-
tioned, in a kind and liberal article, in which several extracts
from a forthcoming work of his, are quoted. "An Evening
Ride " is a well-told anecdote of a trick played upon a couple
of country bailiffs. Mrs. Craven Green, whose name we fancy
to have seen in La Belle Assemblde, as a frequent contributor,
relates a little historical story, in which Anne Boleyn is the
heroine. " Dickens' Notes" receive a handsome notice, in
which justice is done to them. Mr. Sargent contributes a
short story of a " Snow Storm," and the Sherwood Poet a
poem entitled " Day Break." The biographical notice of
Allan Cunningham is well written, and in a kindly tone.
The extracts from the letters of the Rev. Mr. Freeman, on
the subject of his journey to Kumasi, in Ashantee, will be
perused with considerable curiosity and pleasure. We next
find under the title of " A Marriage in the Mountains,"
some account of Louis XIV and his courtly doings. The
number concludes with an account of the " Origin and Pro-
gress of Writing." There are amongst the contents several
clever little poetical pieces. We can recommend Bradshaw's
Journal as being the cheapest, (64 pages for a shilling,) as
well as the most amusing and instructive periodical of the
day.

FRESHFORD, Nov. 30.—About five o'clock on Tuesday
evening, a middleman, named Mortimer, who holds about
four hundred acres of the lands of Kyle, adjoining this town,
from Mr. Browne, of London, was attacked at his own door
in this town, by two men, who fired at him, wounding him
mortally. Some persons who happened to be in the street at
the time pursued the villians, who ran along the Kilkenny
road and escaped. Mortimer died soon after. On account
of the hot pursuit after the murderers, there are strong hopes
of their speedy discovery. The attack it is supposed, arose
out of contentions between Mortimer and his sub-tenants.
I have heard that the rents on the land are very high, and the
life of Mortimer was the last in the lease between the middle-
men, and Mr. Browne, who enjoys the reputation of being
an excellent landlord. This neighbourhood, which had been
so much disturbed nine or ten years ago, has been latterly
exceedingly peaceful.—. Dublin Evening Post.
On Wednesday evening, as the Rev. Wm. Bathurst was
delivering his customary Wednesday evening lecture at St.
Giles's Church, Oxford, his bands by some means managed
to get caught in the flame of the candle lighted at the side of
the pulpit. Immediately, to the great consternation of the
congregation, his face was enveloped in flames. Many per-
sons rose simultaneously from their seats to offer their assis-
tance, at seeing the imminent peril in which the rev. gentle-
man was placed. Fortunately, however, he had the presence
of mind to envelope his face in the velvet hangings of the pul-
pit, which immediately bad the effect of extinguishing the
flames, not, however, till his neckcloth had also caught fire :
and his face was dreadfully burnt. Prompt assistance was
given, and the rev gentleman conveyed out of church. Medi-
cal aid was instantly procured, but although his burns are not
of a very serious nature, yet they are sufficiently so to be pro-
ductive of inconvenience for some time to come. The sen-
sation produced by this unlucky occurrence was extreme—
several of the congregation fainted, and shrieks were heard
in all parts of the church.
EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—An amateur pe-
destrian, named John Sandars, 23 years of age, undertook
for a trifling wager to start from the Surrey side of London
bridge, and run over the five bridges and round the enclosure
of St. James's-park, in the space of fifty minutes. The per-
formance came off on Monday. The start took place from
the Bridge-house Hotel, and one minute only was occupied
in crossing London-bridge. In four minutes more the
" novice" had reached the Surrey side of Southwark-bridge,
and another four minutes was occupied in getting to Black-
friars, on the Surrey side. In fifteen minutes from starting
St. Clement's Church in the Strand was gained, thence to the
Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge five minutes were consumed,
and five more in reaching Westminster-bridge-road. He
came to the bridge in gallant style, apparently as fresh as
when he started, and arrived at Storey's-gate, without the
least falling off in speed, in 29 minutes from the start. His
opponents had now only one hope left—namely, that he would
not last out the remainder of the journey round the enclo-
sure ; but in this they were deceived, for he accomplished it
in 12 minutes, thus completing the whole distance in the
short space of 41 minutes, and that, too, with scarcely any
apparent distress. Bates, a well-known pedestrian, did the
same distance in 48 minutes, having had one hour allowed.
and that was looked upon as an astonishing performance.

We are told by a person who has lately been through the
greater part of the Weald of Sussex, that the appearance of
the young wheat is better than it has been for many years;
though we have had a considerable quantity of rain, it has
not been at all too much for the wheat sowing on the Downs ;
and the beasts and sheep are doing well in the pastures with-
out any need of hay as yet.—Brighton Gazette.
THE VICTORIES IN CHINA AND INDIA.—At the meeting
of the Dublin corporation, on Wednesday last, Mr. Town-
councillor Symes moved a resolution to the effect, that the
freedom of the city be conferred on Sir Robert Sale, General
Nott, General Pollock, and Lieutenant Cuddy, of the 55th
Regiment. The resolution being seconded, a gallant town-
councillor (Mr. Fitzpatrick) begged to move' that a like
honour be conferred on the heroic Lady Sale. It appears
there was a precedent in case, a similar distinction having
been conferred on the daughter of Alderman Nugent during
the old regime. Owing, however, to an informality in the
shaping of the motions, and there being some doubts whether
the right of granting the freedom by " grace especial" still
existed in the new corporation, the subject was deferred till
next day of assembly.
THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE AND THE MISSIONARIES.—
When the late lamented Mr. Williams was in England, he
had the honour of an interview with the Duke of Devonshire,
who showed much interest in his character and labours. On
Saturday last, the Rev. Mr. Moffat had also the honour of
visiting his grace, at Chatsworth, by appointment; and with
Mrs. Moffat, and the friends who accompanied them, were
received by the duke in the kindest manner. His grace con-
versed with Mr. Moffat for a considerable time, and assured
him that he had read his book, much of it twice over, with
great delight. With reference to Mr. Moffat's intended
journey of discovery beyond the bounds hitherto passed by
white men, his grace emphatically desired him to remember
poor Williams, and to run uo needless risks. His grace
placed in the hands of Mr. Moffat a cheque for a handsome
amount; and after entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Moffat and
their friends at lunch, and accompanying them through the
conservatories, left them, with the warmest good wishes for
their prosperity and success.—Derby Reporter.
The following lamentable tale is related by the Breton of
Nantes. On the 17th instant, as M. Ruz6, of Croisic, in
the Loire Inferieure, was beating for game along the sea-
shore, he observed at a distance, on the top of a rock, rising
above the tide, which was coming in, an object, which he
took to be an albatross, or some other large sea bird. Ap-
proaching carefully to within gun-shot distance, he was on
the point of firing his gun at it, when he distinguished that
his aim was levelled at a young girl. Supposing that she had
wandered till she was surprised by the incoming tide, he im-
mediately stripped himself and swam out to her assistance.
The poor child, however, who was only ten years old, at first
refused to be taken off her perilous sitation , declaring that
she was so cruelly treated by her mother-in-law that she had
resolved to drown herself. With great difficulty M. Ruz6
prevailed upon her to trust herself to him, but when on dry
land resisted all his persuasions to return home to her friends
at Batz. Some of the inhabitants of the place, who came up
and learned the event that had taken place, became so indig-
nant that they hurried to the dwelling of the cruel step-mo-
ther, and would have done some desperate mischief, had not
M. Ruze followed and prevailed upon them to desist.
NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—A meeting of the Direc-
tors of this Railway was held at the Company's station, at
Derby, on Wednesday week. In consequence of what took
place at the Special General Meeting of the Proprietors, held
at Leeds, on Wednesday the 16th inst.—the whole of the
Directors determined to resign ; but in order that the Direc-
tory might not come to a stand, six of them resigned at the
meeting, and the whole of the Committee of Inquiry were
elected in their places. The remainder of the (old) Directors
will retire from office, we understand, as soon as their places
can be filled up by being appointed by the newly-elected six
Directors. The names of the persons who formed the Com-
teittee of Inquiry, and who are now Directors, are—P. W.
Brancker, Esq., J. T. Alston, Esq., Geo. Hudson, Esq.,
Geo. Wilson, Esq., John Waddingham, Esq., and William
Murgatroyd, Esq. The names of those who retired, are—
John Walbanke Childers, Esq., M.P., Pickersgill, Esq.
(London), Hatton Stansfield, Esq. (Leeds), F. Carbutt, Esq.
(Leeds), and Hall, Esq. (Burton-on-Trent). The six
old Directors who continue in office are—W. L. Newton,
Esq. (Derby), Chairman ; Anthony Titley, Esq. (Leeds).
Deputy Chairman; Laycock, Esq. (Sheffield), Tee,
Esq. (Barnsley). Cox, Esq. (Derby), and J. Holdsworth,
Esq. (Wakefield).
CURIOUS CASE OF SMtJ GGLING.—At an early hour yester-
day morning Mr. Thomas Worthington, collector at this
port, accompanied by Mr. Martin, tide-surveyor, and others,
officers in the Customs, proceeded to the " Stores Inwards"
of the City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company, North-
wall, for the purpose of determining the quality and contents
of an importation of seeming pot-ash, which had been landed
on last Saturday from on board the steam-vessel Duchess of
Kent, from Liverpool. Upon divesting some of the casks of
their well-coopered heads, it was discovered that they con-
tained at least some part of the bleaching stnalts ; but alas !
the " ingenious device " was bootless for its purpose, for on
the removal of some six or eight inches of the seeming real
contents, a quantity of American tobacco stalk, wrapped up
into handy packages of about SO lb. weight each, was found
located in the head of an oak cask. This article is solely used
in the manufacture of snuff, and is of so much more valuable
a nature than leaf tobacco, as to cause its total prohibition
into these kingdoms under very heavy penalties. There was
also placed in the casks a quantity of sea coal, with the evi-
dent intention of bringing up the average weight of the barrel
of pot-ash to its proper standard, the contraband article being
of a much less specific gravity thtin the material which it was
sought to displace. After minute investigation, eleven of the
casks were found to be entitled to the fostering care of the
authorities, and were forthwith conveyed to and deposited in
the Queen's stores at the Custom-house, to await there the
time that it is allowed to elapse between seizure and sale.—

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE DECEMBER 2.
The duties on all sorts of Grain and Flour from abroad
continue unaltered this week.
Including the receipts into this port and Runcorn, the
fresh supply of oatmeal from Ireland is again to a liberal ex-
tent, while those of other articles from the same quarter are
still upon a very limited scale, and we have no arrivals to
notice, either coastwise or from foreign countries for several

days past.
Notwithstanding the small nature of our supplies collec-
tively, the Wheat trade has remained without much animation,
our millers having purchased very sparingly; several parcels of
duty paid foreign, however, were taken for investment, in-
duced by low prices, which form the only business worth
naming between Tuesday last and to-day.
Having few town or country millers at our Corn Exchange
to-day, and no impulse from other markets, all descriptions
of foreign Wheat, in the absence of further speculation,
were in limited request, but holders generally refusing to
accept lower terms, our last quotations remained unvaried :
English and Irish new Wheats, though in moderate demand,
were slightly depressed in value.
English, Irish, and foreign free Flour moved off very
slowly at the rates last noted.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, confined to sales chiefly
of a retail character, merely sustained former prices.
Oats, continuing to excite a tolerable share of attention,
were disposed of, to a fair extent, at Tuesday's currency ;
and Oatmeal, upon a moderate steady demand from country
buyers, maintained our last quotations.

A professorship of civil engineering has been estab-
lished at Trinity College, Dublin; Mr. John Macneill,
C.E., M.R.1.A.. F.R.A.S., F.R.S., has been elected to the

CES CURRENT.

Blackwood.

It does the heart good to meet with the name of Walter
Savage Landor. He may be classed as one of the deepest
thinkers of the day. He " opens the ball " this month with
an imaginary conversation between Southey and Porson.
The verses written after a visit to the grave of Sir Walter
Scott possess merit. " The Stranger in London" is by no
means equal to those that have preceded it, either in depth
of thought, observation, or style. In the " Poems and Bal-
lads of Schiller, No. 1V.," we are presented with many
charming specimens of his genius. A review of Mr. John
Burnet's edition of Sir Joshua Reynolds' discourses will be
read with interest. " Dickens' American Notes " next
come under notice. The critic cuts Boz up in so friendly
and kindly a way, that it will tend considerably to assist the
sale of the work rather than retard it. In 'the review of the
" Lays of Ancient Rome, by Thos.. Babington Macaulay,"
the creamy parts of his book are'brought before us. The
description of the death of Virginia is charmingly written.
Mr. Macaulay's work ought to have a great sale, if we may
judge of the rest of the contents by the merits of what
Blackwood extracts. This number contains the third part
of " Ricardo Made Easy, or what is the radical difference
between Ricardo and Adam Smith."

EXPEDIENCY.—At a late meeting of Roman Catholic pre-
lates in Dublin, it was resolved that an Irish translation of
the Douay Testament should be forthwith published. From
1200 to 1300 copies were subscribed for on the spot.
The account of the London and Dover Railway, for the last
half-year's receipts and expenditure, exhibited to the meet-
ing on Friday last, shows a balance of £108,375 10s. in
favour of the company.
AN AstEme,AN EDITOR.—Mr. White, the editor of the
Flemingsburg Kentuckian, shot a man dead on the 18th of
October, who dent into his office for the purpose of caning
him.—Quebec Paper.
THE TARIFF.—The importations of foreign cattle are de-
cidedly falling off as the winter advances, and in several
instances the beasts have deteriorated so much on their
boisterous passages as to fetch very low prices.
A FLYING MACHINE.—A man in New Orleans is con-
structing an extraordinary machine by which he intends to
navigate the air. He is a skilful and intelligent mechanician,
and is sanguine of success.
The Gazelle of Friday states that the Queen has ap-
pointed Sir 'William Parker, Sir Henry Pottinger, Major-
Generals Pollock and Nott to be Knights Grand Cross of the
most Hon. Military Order of the Bath.
The Dublin Evening Mail says that considerably more
than three-fourths of the registered electors of the Dublin
University have already promised Mr. Hamilton their votes.
1727 electors have qualified.
James Brien, a soldier of the 36th regiment, was killed by
a kick from a restive horse, while the troops in Limerick were
celebrating, on Monday last, the triumphs of her Majesty's
arms in India and China.
Beaumont Smith, of Exchequer-bill notoriety, was among
the convicts saved from the wreck of the Waterloo, at Table
Bay. All the convicts saved have been sent, for safety, to
Robin Island under a military escort.
A prisoner on his way to Northleath gaol, last week, for
one month, was so terrified with the thought of imprison-
ment, that pretending to do something at his shoe, he slipped
his leg under a waggon which was passing, which broke it,
and he was conveyed to Cheltenham Hospital.
MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—It is now generally supposed
that the legislature will not assemble for the dispatch of busi-
ness until the usual period, viz., the first week in February,
but nothing certain can be known on the subject until the
next Privy Council.—Standard.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW
RAILWAY.—A distressing accident occurred on Monday, at
the Falkirk station of this railway, by which a gentleman,
whose name we understand is Captain MiNab, from near
Callander, lost his life.
The decision in the important case of the Deanery of St.
Patricks, has been again postponed until yesterday (Monday).
A farmer, named Houlihan, a ten-pound freeholder, hung
himself on Saturday out of a ladder near his house at Knocka-
coppul, Kerry.
A few days ago, as Captain Chandler's hounds were run-
ning in Goosehill cover, near Crowle, a woodcock was
started, and a sportsman present, seeing it rising, smacked
his whip, with the lash of which lie caught the bird, and
" bagged" it without dismounting.
WARSAW, Nov. 17.—0 n the 22d of September a fire
broke out in the town of Nordosil, in the government of
Pula, by which, the wind being very high, 40 houses, with all
the outbuildings, and 36 merchants' warehouses, were de-
stroyed.

THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS AND THE TITHE COMMU-
TATION ACT.—The yearly meeting for 1842 have issued the
following minute with reference to the Act for the Commu-
tation of Tithe :—" In transmitting to our subordinate
meetings the following declaratory minute in reference to the
Tithe Commutation Act, we desire that all our dear friends
may encourage one another in a faithful and united support
of our ancient Christian testimony to the freedom of good
ministry, and against all ecclesiastical imposition. This
meeting has under its solid consideration the Act for the
Commutation of Tithe in England and Wales, by which pro-
vision is made for the conversion of tithe into a rent-charge

upon lands, and it is of the judgment that the change has
not altered the objectionable character of this impost ; it is
therefore the duty of friends to bear their testimony faith-
fully against this claim. We are also of the judgment that
friends should not act professionally in making the commu-
tation of tithe, or apportionment of rent-charge, or any of
the expenses arising out of the commutation. And we are
concerned to recommend that when friends, either as land-
owners or otherwise, may think it necessary to attend tithe
commutation meetings, they should be
. very watchful not in
word or deed to compromise our testimony against all eccle-
siastical demands ; and that in reference to all other arrange-
ments connected with the fixing, apportioning, or subsequent
dividing the rent-charge, the same watchful care be main-
tained."

DETECTION OF SHEEP-STEALERS, AND SUICIDE OF THE
SHEPHERD.—A circumstance has just occurred in Hertford-
shire which goes to proves what has always been asserted by
the chief constable of the county, that when farmers are in
the habit of having sheep stolen the shepherd is generally
connected with the thieves. On the forenoon of Friday, the
25th of November, information was brought to the head con-
stable at Hertford that two wether sheep and a ram had been
stolen some time during the previous night from the farm of
Mr. Cheffins, near Ware. Captain Robertson immediately
despatched Inspector Dunn, of the rural police, to the rail-
way to London, and directed Inspector Barnes to go on the
high-road to Smithfield, with instructions how to proceed.
At Enfield, Barnes met a light cart belonging to Humphrey,
a butcher of Hoddesdon, driven by a lad named Welch, who,
being closely interrogated, admitted that he had been em-
ployed by Humphrey to convey two wether sheep and a ram
to London, and stated that they had been delivered to Mr.
Mossman, a salesman. Being convinced from the description
given of the sheep by Welch that they were those stolen from
Mr. Cheffins, Barnes returned to Hoddesdon, and took Hum-
phrey into custody, in whose possession 15s was found,
which he admitted having received from Mossman, but re-
fused to give any account of the sheep sold to him. Barnes
then proceeded to London, taking with him the shepherd of
Mr. Cheffins, and from information received from Mr. Moss-
man, who rendered every assistance to the police, the inspec-
tors were enabled to taace the two wether sheep to the yard
of the Ram public-house, in Smithfield. The skin of the
stolen ram (it having been almost killed) was also traced and
recovered from the fell-monger, to whom it had been sold,
and both that the sheep were subsequently identified by Mr.
Cheffins as his property. The shepherd on being shown the
skins in London, evinced symptoms of uneasiness, and de-
sired to be allowed to go home. He accordingly left London
at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, but did not reach his mas-
ter until 12 o'clock at night, having in the meantime, as is
supposed, given information of the discovery of the sheep, to
others of the gang, with whom it was now found he was con-
nected ; and at 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning it was disco-
vered he had committed suicide.—Hereford paper.

Our Mess.
Coombe Abbey.
The Commissioner.

" Our Mess" has arrived at a conclusion : it has been a
smartly written, well sustained story, replete with character,
anecdote, and humour. It will not he fair to tell the denoue-
ment. The description of Frescatis, and the terrible scenes
enacted there, are powerfully narrated. Madame de Roni's
grand entertainment is capitally hit off, nor is the account of
Mons. de Roni's leg-of-pork dinner without merit. The
illustrations, of which there are four, are cleverly executed.
We are promised two new tales, from the pen of Harry Lor-
requer, to begin the next year,—" Burke of Ours," and the
Loiterings of Arthur O'Leary."

" The Commissioner" is also concluded. This tale, for sin-
gularity and eccentricity has not been equalled since the Tale
of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels appeared ; not that we for
one instant place it on a footing with those incomparable
works. It contains many very smart hits at the follies and
vices of the day, and although the incidents are exaggerated
beyond the possibility of occurrence, there is food enough for
laughter, stuff enough to stare at, and wisdom enough to re-
member. The illustrations have been excellent throughout,
of which the present number contains four.
" Coombe Abbey" has reached its eighth number, the
story progresses with considerable interest, the incidents and
characters happily exhibit the manners of the times at which
the story is fixed. This work, we believe, is from the pen of
a lady.

SIBERIAN FOWLING.—Shooting after our manner is never
practised here. If
a peasant sees any one shoot flying, be
stands with his mouth open, staring with astonishment, not
at the skill of the sportsman, but at its folly in spending so
much ammunition, which is exceedingly expensive on a sin-
gle bird. He believes, as is really the case, that more skill
is required to shoot with his rifle that carries the smallest
quantity of powder, and a single ballabnut the size of a swan-
shot,

these taken a steady aim, rarely if ever miss. T
these rifles do appear, to be sure, the most extraordinary sna-
ahines, and few would have the courage to use them. They
prove, however, that success depends much more on,the skill,
of the sportsman than the excellence of his arms, which,
in-
deed, we have long since found out in many other countries.
We had with us one of Lancaster's tube-guns, for which the
amateurs would have given more than the prime cost, but
more out of curiosity theta for use. The common rifle-bar-
Tell are made at Tobolsk, are very heavy, and have .a very
small bore. The grooves are sound instead of perpendicular,
and the ball, which is cut instead of cast, is forced in and the
edges rounded off in ramming down. The lock is large and
awkward-looking, the springs on the outside, that of the cock
clumsy and not tempered : the whole umehine works so
slowly, that you may see the trigger stop and glove on again
during the progress of the cock towards the pan. The charge
does not contain fifty grains of powder. In the event of a
spring breaking, the Masseur readily replaces it by ono of
wood, generally of larch, which answers his purpose equally
well, and he is thus independent of the guntnaker. With all
these imperfections, as we have said before, they rarely or
never miss, and always hit an aminal whose fur is precious
through the muzzle. Rifles of this sort cost here twenty-five
roubles, powder five roubles a pound, anal lead is also dear.—
,Coftrell's Recollections of Siberia.

A Drogheda paper states, that within the last month up-
wards of one hundred Irish teachers have publicly abjured
the Church of Rome, and received the sacrament in the

A statement of the trade of St. John's, New Brunswick,
for the ended the 30th of September last, has just been
published and forwarded to this country. - The principal facts
are worth extract. By the compadvalif this document with
the one published in the previous year, it appears that in the
entries of vessels inwards from all countries there was a de-
crease of 494 ships, 79,368 tonnage, and 1,640 men ; the
number for 1842 being 1,762 ships, 220,150 tonnage, and
12, 643 men; and for 1841, 2,256 ships, 299,518 tonnage,
and 14,283 men. The entries from Great Britain had de-
creased by 164 ships ; British colonies, by 287 ; the United
States, by 63 ; and foreign states, by 10. The total sterling
value of imports during the game periods showed a decrease
of £696,937, the amount for 1841 being £1,201,736; and for
1842, £504,799. Great Britain had suffered to the extent of
£503 583; North America, £106,003; United States, £76,455;
and foreign states, £11,773. There was the slight increase
of £433 in favour of the West Indies. The return of vessels
cleared outwards shows a decrease of 569, with 91,911 ton-
nage, and 3,693 men in 1842, the number for that year being
1,855 ships, with 257,395 tonnage, and 15,421 men; while in
1841, it amounted to 2,421 ships, with 352,306 tonnage, and
16,114 men. The clearances for Great Britain have decreased
244 ships, for British colonies 323, and for the United States
7. For foreign states the clearances had increased 5 ships.
The return of the total sterling value of exports exhibits a
decrease of £217,461, the difference between £591,088, the
amoun of 1841; and £383,527, the amount of 1842. To
Great Britain exports had decreased to the extent of £lBO,lBO,
North America to the extent of £31,700, West Indies to the
extent of £3,813, and foreign states to the extent of £2,481.
To the United States States there had been an increase of
£7,585. Notwitstanding the very great depression of trade
displayed by this return, the tide of immigration had in.
creased, the number of adults who arrived out having in-
creased by 1,109 over those who made for this British settle-
ment in 1841. The number in that year was 5,015. If we
recollect rightly, it was from this port that an official notice
came from the British Consul forewarning the public of the
burdened condition of the colony by the excess of immigra-
tion, a!ui the depressed state of commerce, and of the diffi-
culties thfr class of persons would have to put up with from
the want of occupation, either agricultural or manufacturing,
should .the numbers increase as they had done for the last
season.

THE TRADE OF CANADA.—It is now proved that the trade
of Canada, during the present season, which in this climate
is a whole year, has greatly diminished. Four hundred
ships, and 117,281 of tonnage less than up to the same
period last year, is a woful falling-off; and when the value
which the articles exported will bring at the places to which
they are sent is considered, the prospect is still more un-
favourable. That value is the measure of the returns to be
expected. It is not probable that these returns, in the shape
of importations, can be much more than one-half the returns
received for last year. Our public revenue, two-thirds of
which is derived from duties on importations by the St. Law-
rence, will consequently be also diminished one-third. To
the diminution of returns for our exports will be added a
diminution arising from a decrease of commercial confi-
dence and enterprise in the different branches of industry,
occasioning diminution of production. We hope, however,
that this cause will be suffered to operate as little as possible.
Idleness is the surest parent of permanent commercial stag-
nation and general distress. Production and low prices will
occasion a revival. We must be able to go into the foreign
market at as low a rate as anybody else, otherwise we can
have no sales. This is the law of trade ; and all artificial or
legislative provisions to evade it must eventually fail, after
having created an artificial encouragement, given rise to false
hopes and dangerous speculations. Timber is still in exist-
ence in great quantities in the forests of Canada, and there
will still be a demand for it in countries where it is less
abundant; but we must be able to offer it in the market as
cheap as anybody else. Any provisions that we can bring
forward, or produce and spare from our own consumption,
will still find a sale, in countries where there is a deficiency,
if they can be sold at the cheapest rate. They will still go
by the St. Lawrence, if they can go by it cheaper than
through the United States. The certainty of the advantages
given in the United Kingdom to colonial produce over that
of foreign countries diminishes yearly, and is likely to fail, if
not by abundant crops in the home dominions, by the in-
fluence and cries of the great majority of the population for
cheap food. Cheap production, cheap conveyance to the
market, and cheap sales, industry, and fair-dealing are our
only sure reliance. All others are likely to prove deceptive
at the moment of the greatest difficulties.—Quebec Gazette,
Nov. 4.
