"Mal,a is in free pratique with the Cont
nent. Dispatches have been received from the
Board Of Health at Palermo, containing The
very acceptable information, that departures
from our port, with clean Bills OF Health, will
be admitted 10 free compunioa alton in all the
ports Of Sicily. The concurrence Of The Nea-
p~olitan Government in the correct view which
the other European States have taken OF our
isolated situation, and OF the peculiar aptitude
Of our island for quarantine purposes, crown
with final success the hopes and expectations
of all.
"The existence Of plague is so fatal, the Cir
cuma.ances attending il, so terrific, and the o2-
Grafton Of its propagating causes SO entirely
unknown that, perhaps, some allowance may be
made for the hesitation Of the Continental Is.

We look forward steadily, bu, not impatiently,
20 the ameliora,ion OF Commerce, anc the IN

ports; but it must not be forgotten that while
the serious causes that'arrested their activity
have ceased to exist, the requirement OF new
confidence is Of slow growth, and even The
knowledge Of our new quarantine relations will
take some time to spread itself, although, no
doubt, all parties will be equally interest in
making them known. The eventual beneficial
results, however, can scarcely be doubted"

The Chamber OF Commerce al Manchester,
England, has taken alarm at the proposed bill
for legalising the expectation Of Machinery, and
a special general meeting Of its members was
to consider Of the state Of the laws on
that subject, and TO petition Parliament for an
alteration of the Corn Laws. On the first Of
those questions, there was not the slightest diff
ference Of opinion, and fifteen resolutions, COM
prising the chief arguments that have been
urged against permitting The expectation OF ma
%chinery, were passed unanimously. Upon the
propriely Of altering The Corn Laws, each gen.
,leman had his own measure to propose, and
the opinions varied considerably, but the maJo
ri,y being favorable to the imposition OF a mo-
derate protecting duty, al FIRST to be gradually
reduced, aid finally abandoned altogether, reso-
lutions 10 that effect we're voted.

added to the above, form an aggregate Of
twenty one millions four hundred thousand

two millions three hundred thousand dol
