slavery was introduced by man, who, in bis

the whole province. They FIRST try TO bring the
IudiAn Into debt, either by making him drunk
(easily done with An Indian) aud then lending
him some money, or by taking him out Of pris-

always arrange with the authorities by means
OF money. The Indian cannot pay his debt and

DEcRxAsH OF TRsAsuRs SKfrMHETs.-T Ths
Alta comments upon this gratifying fact ss some
length in its commercial column. IL says that
"judging by the shipments since the close Of June,
We seem TO be approaching an average expectation
Of about three millions Of gold per month, to be
nearly equally divided between the three steamers.
This would show q material annual falling on IN
the shipments, and from present appearances. such
will probably be realised. Thus far, we have ex-
ported Of treasure all told $25 sos 2i against
$50 AL ,464 SIS for corresponding period OF last
year; showing falling off Of IS, ,766 81. II We
do not exceed an average Of three millions per
month for the balance Of the year, we shall fall
short Of total Of $40 900 for $780, and in trea-
sure exports will be seven millions behind 1859.
But there are ample causes at work to account for
this, should IL occur ~ probably Il will, without
supposing. as may be inferred abroad, any falling
OF in the productiveness Of the mines" One cause
is the expectation Of silver nom the new mines,
taking the place Of gold coin and bars and another
IL the large expectation Of agricultural products.
The effect Of decreasing shipments is already seen
In an easier condition Of the money market, and
reduction Of rates Of interest," stimulating all forms
Of industry.
