PRosrrcrs OF TnADE.-The New York Herald
admonishes merchants not to be too sangnine
in their expectations of trade. 1t concludes
leader on ihe subject with the following:
"Iet us now look at some of the signs that
mark the course of the tide Of trade in Europe
and in this country. An article from London

clodes it's remarks the quarterly returns OF
British trade with some signifc facts The
imports into England of cotton. corn. Hour,
tea. sugar, coffee and spices had fallen off. Yet
else where We learn that yarns, 80 greatly IN
demand for the continental markets, had fallen
and that cotton, sugar and breadstuffs have al
50 fallen in price, both there and here Ihese
| things occur because the war has diminished

| the three hundred millions Of people IN Europe
to take and pay for these productions. II
| London we are told that "little or nothing l

been negotiated at one per cent. per annun'.
To us this proves that merchants cannot fin
employment for money. and that the usua
! channels of trade are interrupted. whe
money is cheap, it proves that good employ
mept for it and good security are scare.
"With these plain indications before us, :"
do not see where the good times for Trade ths
are so literally prognosticated are to sPr'n
FROM And we advise our merchants hetor
they 90 into extended operations, and give OF
their paper. and increase their expenses ar
their luxurIes, relying upon the good TIN
coming to carry them through, to wait awhi'
and see how the cat is going to jump IN ti
European war. Many more protested b'

COURT OF EQUITY.

The Court of Equity for our District has
been in session during the present week. his
honor Chancellor JOB JOHNSTON, presding.-
His Honor seems to be in fine health, and pre-
sides with his usual courtesy and ability. There
is good large amount of business pending,
and sufficient we suppose, to occupy the whole
week. The attendance of citizens generally is
small, comprising principally the parties inter
| ested in the events Of the suits pending. The
taking of the necessary testimony at the pre-
cedng references, dispenses with the presence
Of the large retinue of witnesses; and the hear
ing of the cases proceeds without any o'
those circumstances of popular interests, which
give animation 10 the other Courts.
Among the gentlemen of the Bar from othe
Districts, we observe Mr.. McCRADY, of Charles
