OF all the practices for which the male
violence of bad men has procured the sane
ton of custom, that OF duelling, particular
ly as it is managed amongst US in this coun-
try, is the most offensive TO the moral sense,
the most audacously insulting to society the
most retrograde to nature, the most daring TO
God and subversiye of his laws-in word
the most wicked violation of all laws human
and divine, and at the same time the most
disgraceful 10 the understanding, as COM
hining in itself the greatest degree of stu
pidity sweled forth by the vanity OF mo-
dern refinement, into bloated relief from
the dark and baleful ground ofgothic igno-
rance and baJbarism. With not one plau-
sible claim on admiration, and every thing
that can excite contempt and disgust, it has
been enabled by the help of pride and ran
cour, TO tyrannise itself iRto custom, and 10
intrench itself securely against every effort
made by wisdom and virtue and religion TO
curb its outrages, or even to prescribe
bounds Of any kind to its excuses. Its
damned spirit refuses to be exercised by
any of those awful processes to which all
other kinds of human guilt have hitherto
generally held themselves amenable. Nei-
ther fear OF punishment. nor sympathy for
the sufferings, of others, nor consideration
for the miseries--th the utter ruin one single

mer year. OF our present stock OF 10000
barrels Of American Flour, three fourths are
sour. The imports last year into this port
have been $50, 1000 barrels, while in lSl7,
they were 100000. From the inconyen'-
ence caused by the fuctuation in prices
from the sudden foundations of foreign
grain, little doubt is entertained but our
present corn laws will undergo an early re-
vision, and the maximum he hxed at a
higher rate, or duty imposed on imports.
The prices Of flaxseed, at all times very
precarieus, depend almost entirely on the
extent of supplies from the United States
and the wants ofIreland. Flax is now at
a price which pays the farmers well; good
demand for sowing is consequently locked
for in the spring.-Shipments should be
made early.-The quantity, exclusive OF
home saved seed, usually sown in ireland
is So, 900 hhds. In 1877, there were sown
80, 1878 and in 1918, 47,6o5. The season
last year was fine, and rather more home
saved seed than in 1877 their imports
were So, GAG hhds.; of which 1890 were

Our imports of tar have been CT, l42 bar
rels, against II 1856 in 1877 but the con-
sumption, has been very great, so that our
presentstock is but 25, 900 bbls. against II,
600, at the close Of 1917. The general i'm
port in other ports OF Great britain has
been by no means commensurate with ours,
being little more han loo, GOO.
The imports of turpentipe have greatly
increased, being 40, $50 bbls and casks to
this port, against 81 900 in 1917. The re-
naming general imports have been 81 ,G43
casks against 81 900 in 1877. The stocks
are also greater, being here 1000 bb!,,
against 5000 at the same period last year.
Contrary to all former calculations, and
informations from every quarter OF the U,
S. respecting the quantity of Tobacco that
would be exported in 1918, they have been
remarkably great. II has now gained ge-
neral credit. that, in the yearending on the
lst Oct. last, the exports have been SO a
$4,000 hogsheads.

terial surplus is given, admitting the crops Of

$1,000 hhds or more, as has been estimated
the supplies would still be more than sulii-
Gent but II is now believed that the excess
of the western crops will be fully adequate

lie opinion in Europe, which was founded
on the best information that could be pro-
cured, is THEREFORE now completely changed.

Making an increase of stock of l85, 1861
bales, which, it. viii be observed, is very
nearly the excess Of import in 1918 beyond
that Of 1917; thus showing the consump-
ton of the two years 10 be very nearly equal
although it is generally thought that in the
last year there was an increase of consump-
tion OF about l5o bales per week. Ameri-
can cottons during the last year were held
up at such high prices (from the strong de-,
sire Of the holders to diminish the loss oc-
casioned by the extravagant costs in the
States that their consumption is supposed
to have been diminished from Is TO 90 900
bags, while the East India cottons have
been so generally pressed upon the market
and the prices so much reduced, as TO offer
very strong temptation TO the spinners to
adapt their machinery to the use OF them;
and in fact, from various circumstances, the
consumption is encreased at least 10000
bales, and is now estimated at nearly loo,
600 bales per nnum.--The total comsump-
ton of cotton is estimated at about 5000
bales per week, and We think it is evident
ly on the increase, Tor great number OF
spinning mills are erecting, many old ones
are charging, and the spinners are carry
ing on profitable trade, and are enabled
to make contracts Tor the sale OF all the
Twist they can supply for considerable
time to come. Increasing, however, as may
be the consumption Of Cotton, il is certain
the increase in importation very far exceeds
it, so that we see no other result than that
prices will fall materially, and be perma-
nertly lower.
