Called to order. Dr Ooiwy suggested that it would be better for the president to hold the speakers to the rule of order, and that members should watveall claims to courtesy. | Mr. TRrarrree continued.—It has been proposed that it should be competent for a number of bishops equal to that which imposed the sentence, to have the power of revoking it. This he was opposed to. In placing the power of relief in majority of the bishops, he thinks the proper remedy lies; for, after al! that has been said, eae appeal is to a majority of the House of shops. Kev. Mr. Burn, of Ohio, hoped members of the con- Yeution will not hereafter be confined to any particular polot, but that the whole subject should be open to dis- ‘The proposed amendment, which was the last offered, was (hen read by the secretary Mr. Wanton enquired how th by the amendment was to be obtained; whether it was to be larger than the number assenting to the sentence? Judge Cramorns said he waa willing to adopt the oof gestions thas thrown out, and he would offer as a substi- tote, an amendment oo that a majority of the House of Bishops should have the power of revoking a Sentence passed in this way. Judge Bunnerr said he was opposed to all amendments “pt the verbal ones. He has yet to know that there is or will be an exigency which would authorise the ehureh to depart from the principles followed by our courts of justice. A majority is always a quorum. Various attempts have been made to substitute a different rule but th» priacipte that @ majority shall have the power of deciding is tho bast in all cases. There may be, and ‘he thioks there is, danger that « particular case may in: ‘uence our Judgments, but he denies that in general le- aistation the house has the right to refur to @ particular cass, Particular cases and particular principles must come under geveral cases aud general principles. No two cases are alike, but all have genere! principles in them which azearoply provides for by general legislation. Surely there is no danger of the House of Bishops be- jpg too lenient in oases of the kind before the house Does it come within the scope of probability that the Lishopa would be put to the inconvenience of being call- #1 togethor tolegistate on agpecial case? Neither can he 26a member of the house harbor the imputation that tl louse of Bishops would screen a guilty person. He is opposed to every measure that woulh change the princi ple whieb prevaila in all civilized countris istion of judicial decisions. . . * . . Mr. Seymov f York, said it is not possible to jay aside ail reference to the particular case of this dio- cede in laying down general principles, this he conal. dered twpoasible, and he knows that th® suspicion that something is intended toupply to the particular case be- fore us, hus led to so much diversity of opinion in this house He holds that no bishop suspended, no matter for what cause, should be restored without the consent of ‘ity of the House of Bishops. He believes, when the house ehall have agreed upon vesting this power in atribuval, wnd shall have adopted the rule applicable to the case, in his judgment the whole difficulty would be at an end, We would then have fixed upena tribinal to decide on the matter, and fixed upon the number who shall have the power; all difficulty would be at an end. A decision from such @ number of such @ tribunal would be binding by general consent. wv. Mr. Mason, of Massachusetts, thought there wer: insuparable difiloulties in the way of the proposed reme- dy. Many members of the court may not attend; and again, the court would have to investigate the subject thoroughly, and some of them might be unwilling to de- cide. In iact, he —— there were insuperable diffi- culties in the way, and he therefore hoped the house would direct its attention to the amendment of the gen- tleran from North Carolina. 4 Rev. Mr Gattacuer enquired if the canon states what shall constitute # quorum of the court? On being informed that a mojority would constitute a quorum, he said he would be grieved to vote against the canon, and leave an individual without relief. Mr. Wanton paid he ought to bear in mind that the canoh for the trial of bishops authorises seven to form a quorum. A majority of the seven might, therefore, try aud sentence @ brother bishop. The canon p1 Te quires a majority of all the bishops entitled to a seat te content to a repval of the sentence. It has been said « ting might be called in the middle of winter, or acci- dent may prevent a number from attending; but the same remarke wili apply to the canon for the trial of a bishop. ‘Chere isanother consideration. Gentlemen who ure prepossessed against coming to a conclusion, can ef- foot Lavir purpose by staying away. He thinks full justice Wiltbe done by giving notice to all to attend, and giving & mujority of-those who did attend power to remit the Yentence, in the same way asa majority of those who ‘attend « court have the power of inflicting a sentence. Mr. Conyxcram said that he would call attention to the canon for the trial or bishops, and they would see that the rights of al guaranteed by it. The form of the presentizent is laid down—the manner of taking evidence—provision is made for the defence of the ac- cused. And how, he would ask, is the restoration pro- Yided for in the proposed canon? We simply say the dishops chal! have the power of revoking the sentence, bat do not eay s word in respect to the manner in which thoy shail do so, the evidence they shall take, or any thrng .else which is provided for in the ounon for the trini of bishops. Rumor, the policy of the restoration, symputhy too,will be be brought to bear onthe judgment of the court, and will enter inte the question of restora- tion. We ought to provide that something more should be required in one case than in another—we should say there yball be a majority of .he whole number of those entitled to seats empowered to reverse a jud Mr Ga.tacHen—The gentleman certainly has pre- sented this canon in e startling light; he would enquire if it were not possible, under this canon, for two or three ‘Dishops to reverse a judgment? The Seeretary informed him, that according te the rniue of cther eases, a majority of a quorum would be esenany Rev Mr Youre wouk to alter canon 8, of 1844 Mr. Evans seid it wae so contemplated. Mr. Youxo asked if it isp: ed to alter the third section, and on being informed that it was, said he was opposed to the amendment. Mercy and not justice is contemplated.

Me. Esre, of Ohio, snid—It is all important, when a Judgwent is passed, that its reversal should go to ‘the world, tbat it is a jadgment which will give satisfac- tio to th ch at large; and can this be done in any way except by ® majority of the body havivg the power to reverse the judgment, ‘This is, in his opinion, the Most difdoutt part of the subject before the house ‘The qaestion was then taken on the amendment, and it was earried The following is the canon as amended : “Phe bishops composing the a triguual of special meet mit or term nate any adict I seute ce which m beeu imposed, or may here- Mectivele’ as a judicial to designate a pri tingenc e shall utterly cease ded that no such re xcept at ‘months’ potice of the time, place and onject of the merting being given pers ually to each bishop, or leit at his w ual place of abode J20, that said remission or modification of seutence said bishops, not less thin a ma- d at the time ton sent in the farther, that nothing in this 0 ot ta to repeal oe alter the provisions of Mr Futur Wittiams, of Va, pr ment, that no restored bishop shall diocere over which he formerly roised jurisdiction, without the consent of such dioo or in other words, tha be texe 2 shall not be a recommendation. vir, WiLtiame spoke at considerable length in support of his proposition. Ia the course of his remarks he said ropored an amend- ll be placed over the had withdrawn his amendment from the present. Mr. Wi.tiane said he had not withdrawn it, Pilling to do eo, if any gentleman had » better The Hon, Jonw C, Rives, of Virginia, then rose, and sald that the preposition which, behead ‘intended to offer moment. but was proposi- had been offered by his colleague during his absence. In his view that proposition embraced the whole subject — It was impossible to evade the question. In the public estimation every where the great business to be settled by this convention was the settlementef the questions growing out of the anomalous position of the diocese of New York. Let them settle these questions, and then proceed with general legisiation. His firm belief then, ‘was, that it was impossible to evade this question. Let them meet it with calmness and deliberation, yet with firmness. He would then propose to lay this subject on the table for the purpose of meeting boldly aud manfal- ly the important case of the diocese of New York This nee matter referred to'the joiat committee. That committee had fallen entirely short in their report of affording the relief which had been sought, with the hope that the house might be brought to take some ac- tion which would respond to the call of the diocese He would offer the following resolution, and move that the subject then before them be laid on the table for the pur- pose of entertaining it. Resolved, That justice to the diocese of New York, as well as @ proper regard for the on ge subject of and welfare to the church, requires t) juitable provision should be made for the election of a new bishop te full episcopal power in any diocese whe: mtence of sus- pension, without limitation of time, shall be or has been imposed upon the former diocesan. fudge Cuamarns offered the following as a substitute for this resolution :— Resolved, as the judgment of this house, that a sen- tence of Suspension from all exercise of episcopal and ministerial functions does not void jurisdiction, to the full exercise of which the suspended bishop will be ne- corsarily restored by # general remission of the sentence by competent authority. Mr. Rives renewed his motion to lay the proposed canon upon the table, for the purpose of taking up rectly the matter concerning the diocese of New York, but withdrew it to give H R. InceRsot an fopportunity of offering With reference to the Fe gy of from Virginia, Mr.J. begged leave to say that it left the subject open for thought andaction. He should not express any opinion as to the merits of the question contemplated by the resolution. He would coincide with the hon. gentleman in urging the propriety of making some response to the respectful and urgent appeal of the diocese of New York, and also to the mos morial of the bishop. They could not di-regard the me- morial of the bishop any more than they could disregard the appeal of the diocese, He should, however, at some future period, if permitted, submit an amend- ment to the proposition of the honorable gentleman, so as to prevent altercation in the house as to the re- storation of the bishop It wasin vain for his friend from Ohio to contend that the sentence was a degrada- tion, and that there was a vacancy where tl had now been three years without a bishop. Wei they to hold out an apparent response to the will of the diocese of New York, while that response was partial? If they would look into the records of the church, he believed they would find that no sentence of suspension been passed which should exceed the interval which might elapse between the sitting of one general conveation and another. If judicial pardon was pro- per, judicial eggravation was hardly to be tolerated. Mr. Inceasou. did not pretend to meet the arguments of the gentleman from Ohio. ‘T'o proceed with his re- marks—If they abould refuse to grant the diocese of New York the relief which they sought, what would prevent the subjest from coming up again and again? Nothing in his view. Let the matter be decided at ence then. But he would have the diocese of New York first indi- cate their wishes upon the subject. Did they or did the; not wish to have the bishop restored? Mr. Rives did not understand the gentleman as op- posing his motion to lay the canon on the table The jonorable gentleman had indicated that his view might afterwards be presented in the form of an amendment — The honorable gentleman seemed to think that while hia propesition was responsive to the appeal of the dio- cese of New York, it was not responsive to the memori- alof the bishop. He intended it to respond to both. But where there were two parties, it was, of course, im- possible to respond affirmatively to both. ‘His sole object was to bring the subject directly before the house. He wished both sides of the question to be duly considered. ‘The question on laying on the table was then taken, and decided in the affirmative by a large mnjority. A motion for adjournment was then made Rev. Dr. Hawxs moved that the house adjourn to7 o'clock this evening, The Secretary suggesting that the house could not readily be lighted, he withdrew the motion, adding that he should renew it to-morrow. The house then adjourned to the usual hour this morning. Law Intelligence, Circuit Court, Oot 20.—Befure Judge Moorehouse.— Lynde vs. Lynde.—This case was resumed.

In 1845 I lived at 325 Broadway; kept vapor baths there; was in the habit of keeping a memorandum of the dif ferent visits of parties who frequented my place.

Gabried B. P. Hoyt being called as a juror, Mr. Brady rose and stated that he wished the court to take the form of the challenge which the defence proposed to put to each of the jurors called. The form was as foliows, viz:—Whether the jusor called bas formed an opinion that the defendant in this case is guilty charged in this indictment; or whether he an opinion in relation thereto. Mr. Hoyt being sworn asto his competency to serve us ® juror, was examined by Mr. Brady, as follows : Ques. Have you heard of this case? Ans. Yes, sir. Q Have you read any statements relative to it in the pa- pers?” A. I have partially read them, but I do not rv. member much of w I thenread. Q Have you heard it spoken of? A. Ihave. Q. Have you formed an of the matter has expressed opi. nion of the guilt or innocence of the defendant in this cave? A. | have not fully made up an opinion in the couse, because | have not fully examined the statements made in the papers in relation to it. Q From what you have seen in the papers, havo you or have you not form ed an opinion as to the defendant's guilt or Innocence? A. [ cannot ssy but that | have formed some opinion in relation to the case. Question by Ogden Hoffwan— Would you, if you wero sworn as a juror,be governed by the testimony you heard, in rendering your verdict! A. | should be governed entirely by the testimony udduc. ed. Q. Is that opinion 60 slight or strong in your miod, asit may be #o fixed that you would not disregard what you have heard and read out of Court, and what you would not render a verdict according to the evidence alone? Here Mr. Brapy rose and objected to the question, on ibe following grounds: Ist, that it was whether the ju- ror had formed a settled opinion. 2d, that the question was irrelevant; and 3d, that it called for the opinion of (he juror on a bpyothetical state of facts, and contend ed that from the taet that the juror had formed an opin- ion as tothe guilt or innocence of the accused, the Court wus therefore bound to exclude him as being au incom- petent juror, The Court decided that the question put by Mr. Hoffman was admissible, to which avcision the defence excepted The Court decided that the defence could not except until the question had been put. ‘The defence here tenderd their exception to the court toseal. The prosecution objected to the exception, on the ground that the question had not been put to the Proposed juror subsequent to the court giving its deci- sion. The defence again tendered the exception, which the court refused to Kenl ‘The prosecution then waived his provious question, for the present The court then signed the fir t exception, when the examination of the juror was resumed. Q, by Mr Horrman.—From what you have heara and Tead, have you formed an opinion, or is it an impres- sion resting on your mind, as to the guilt or inno. cenoe of the defendant? A —I think I can eny, that it is partially an opinian that I have formed from the cireumnstances, as they have been detailed in the papers, that if the facts of the care are so and so, then my im- pressions are so and #0.

A.—I we, but that opinion is not so: strongly fixed that it cannot be removed by evide: Mr. Buavy here contended that the examination went to show that the challenge for principal cause was sus- tained. Q. by the Court.—The conrt wishes to know whether you have formed an absolute and fixed opinion or whether it is a mere impression resting on mind from what you have read? A.—As I have said before, | have formed and expressed an opinion, but only a casual one The Covrr finally decided that Mr. Hoyt was an in- competent juror, and he was scoordingly set aside. John Alexander, William F. Mett, William A. Burtis, Alexander M. Anderson, Ssmuel O. Buker, Nelson Sam- mis, Charles Duykinck, Solomon 8 Flint,’ James Wal er, Henry P. Went, Peter Poillion, Alfred Beatty, Benj min Parker, Sidney Young, Thomas Morris, Poter P. Lyon, Jacob Bogert, Vi ine Cargell, and Clrarles J. Cook, were severally called, but having respectively formed or expressed an opinion as to the guilt or inno- cence of the defendant, were also set aside as incompe- tent jurors. Henry Boswell and Noble G. Minor, had heard of the case, and read statem mts relative to it, but had not formed or expressed any opinion as to the guilt or inno- cence of the aceused—were peremptorily onallenged. Richard Venables, Russell Benedict, and Robert Young, having neither expressed nor formed any opinion in the case—were severally aworn as competent jurors.

Wednesday, Oct. 20.6 P. M. ‘The news from Europe had no particular influence upon the stock market, Some of the fancies went up and some went down. ‘There were very few transactions at either board, and the market appeared to be in an unsettled state.

The statements made in that report in rela- tion to the importance, Ke , of the line, not ouly asa lo- enl convenience to the people along the entire length, but as @ mewns of communication between the principal commercial cities in the |/nion, we agree with perfectly; but as regards the construction of a bridge across the the Connecticut river at Middletown, it appears to us as an infringement ypontthe rights aod privileges of thore A.—Ihave not. Q. by Mr. Brady.—How | Whore busloes, and conse uently whose interests, would be seriously injured by the slightest obstruction to the free and full navigation of that river. When we take into consideration the fact that the prople of Hartford would in s great measure be deprived of an unobstruct- ed navigation of the Connecticut, by the construction of this bridge, and in connection with the fact—equally well established—that the success of this “ air line” rail. | road does not depend upon crossing the Connecticut up- on a bridge, we do not see any good ground for the argu- ment that it is indispensable. {Several of the mont important railroads in the country | are connected by ferries, which, although not #0 con- venient as bridges, are not so inconvenient to the com- panies and travellers, as the construction of a bridge across a very important navigable stream, would be to these engaged in its navigation or interested in its being unobstructed. This bridge question is very important one to the people of Hartford, and there is but one way to settle all questions of that kind, and that is by Con- gress passing a law, that upon no account or considera- tion whatever, should a navigable stream be ob.tructed by the erection of bridges for private purposes, under which head railroads would rank. The justice of such a law would at once be seen by those not interested in Unes wanting such facilities as bridges for crossing navigable streams, particularly as it would not cut off py connexion one company might wish to make with another across such waters, On Monday, 18th instant, a meeting of Illinois bond- holders was held at the office of Jacob Little & Co., for the purpose of seeking information as to the progpess of the Illinois canal, as well as to other matters pertaining to their interests. Elisha Riggs, Esq. was called to ‘he chair; he ‘stated the object of the meeting, and called upon Col. Oakley, the State trustee, for information as to the condition of the canal works, and his opinion as to the completion of the same. Colonel Oakley replied that, presuming he wuld be called upon, he had reduced to writing such matters as he thought might be interesting to the bondholders to know, and such as he considered it his duty to give. ‘he Secretary (Tho- mas Dixon, Esq.) being requested, proceeded to read the paper, which commenced by setting forth various mat- ters in detail, relating to the canal, im the course of which much stress was laid upon she inactivity and want of energy of the present chief engineer, and his delay in prosecuting the work, and a recommenda- tion that he be “dismissed. The paper went on to remark that he (Colonel Oakley) from = sense of duty, was compelled to speak plainly, and re- gretted that he was obliged to complain of the course pursued by his colleague, David Leavitt, one of the bondholders’ trustees—the want ofco-operation on his part upon subjects of interest to the State of Il- linois, and still further that Mr. Leavitt in conversation with Col, Oakley, had stated‘that he did not cares straw for the people of Illinois, &c , &o, Mr. Leavitt hereupon exclaimed, “that’s a lie, andhe knowsit.”” The reading progressed to the end, when Elisha Riggs, rose and stated to the meeting that the conversation alluded to by Col. Oakley, took place in his presence, and that the observation which Mr. Leavitt pronounced a lie, was made by Mr. Leavitt to him while in company with Col. Oakley and severa! other gentlemen; that it made such an impression Upon Shim, that he repeated it tos friend, as a strange remark for Mr. Leavitt to make. After the reading was terminated, the subject of the charges was referred to the trustees, and a resolution was then intro- duced by Dudley Selden, Esq , that the trustees (Swift, Oakley and Leavitt) should make an immediate examina- tion of the canal and the works, and make a public re- port asto the condition thereof, and their opinion, from actual observation, as to the time of completion of the canal. The strangest part of the whole affair, however, was the refusal of Mr. Leavitt's friends to listen to the testimony of Capt. Kennedy, who was 8 contracter on the Illinois Canal and an‘engineer, and who was abundantly able to give information that could be relied on, respecting the evils existing on the line of the canal, from personal observation. When Mr. Ken- nedy was called upon to say what he knew of, the condi- tion of things in Illinois, one of Mr. Leavitt's friends moved an adjournment, and the meeting broke up with- out taking the question, and the object of the meeting, things in Illinois being refused s hearing, and this was more particularly outrageous when it is known that Capt. Kennedy was one of the largest, "if not the very largest, bondholder in theroom. ‘The bondholders who appoint- ed the present trustees have it in their power to effect a change inthe management of the canal fund. Now the State trustee does all the work, while the two trustees who reside here get double the salary, and seem to know but little how the werk progresses, or of the difficulties which the contractors sud workmen labor under. ‘We must not omit to mention, that Judge Douglass, the United States Senator from Illinois, who was present by invitation, addressed the meeting at some length, and assured the bondholders that the State of Illinois would pay every dollar of her debt, principal and inti rest; that such a thing as repudiation was now never heard nor thought of in the State—that no candidate for any office, however humble, whe did not go for paying their debts, could Shave the smallest chance of suc: He had been much among the tax payers in the Stat and the feeling was unanimous to pay. This is gratify- ing news for the bondholders, coming as it does from one of the leading men in the State.

Theuniform movement in this de- partn.ent, shows the influence of the present banking system upon the business of the Bank of England. The fluctuations in the rate of interest the bank has estas Diished from time to time, since the present panic inthe London{money market commenced, have created a great deal of dissatisfaction among the commercial classes, snd the restrictions which the new act have placed upon the issue department, have raised up a stiong party in opposition to it, and its repeal is loudly called for. There is no doubt but that the course pursued by the Bank of England during the past year, has hastened the explosion of many houses reported, and, moreover, there is no doubt but that many of these concerns would have been able to have continued in existence tor sometime longer, had the bank been able to have sustained the old system of credits; have parted with its bullion, and at the same time increased its circulation to an unlimit- ed extent. Had the bank expanded in this way, it might have put off the evil day, but it could not have prevented,’by any course, the crisis which has been realized, and has brought to light some of the most astounding facts connected with commercial credit, ever dreamed of ia ,times of the most desperate speculation Itis not astonishing under these circumstances, that there should be loud and deep complaints sgainst the bank ; that the most powerful attempts should be made to bring about a repeal of the Peel act, and that the blame of the embarrassments and diMoulties existing in the European money markets, should be placed upon the shoulders of those governing this institution When mon who have for years been engaged in desperate ape. culations, fail in their plana; when those who, haviog been hopelessly bankrupt for years, are compelled to de- clare their insolvency; when credits, which have been #0 fictitious thatthe entire system has become deranged, undergo @ revulsion, and the whole fabrio falls to the ground, it becomes necessary for those who have boen | hora of their artifoial resources, to look round for | something upon which thoy can cast all the blame, and place themselves before their creditors in a more honor- able position than circumstances would otherwise give -them, The Bank of Rngland {a therefore made the sause Of all their troubles, and it is, according to their state. Mente, the sole cause of their suspension, to wit, information, was defeated—the very person most competent to give a correct account of the true state of It is fortunate they have something else to attribute their difficulties to but their own miserable bad mamage- ment ; how many of their creditors will agree with them, is pretty dificult to say, but we should think very few, ‘unless most of them are in the same position. Many of the oldest, heaviest, and supposed to be the wealthiest houses in Great Britain, will be found in the list of failures reported since the lst of August last. The aggre- gate Mabilities of all the suspensions which have ocourred thus far, cannot fall much short of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars; we might say two hundred millions, ‘and then be within limits, From all we can gatherfrom the best authorities at our command, the probability of good dividends from these concerns is oxtremely small. Many Of those whofuiled early in the season have proved to be in ® worse condition than first expected, and we have no doubt, from the losses many of those who sus pended later in the season must have sustained from the previous stoppages, must give their creditors poor hopes ” of good dividends. As # general thing, failures in Europe turn out very disastrous; very few dividends ex- ceed five or six shillings on the pound, the majority be- ing much below even these low rates.

Tonacco Trape —We are indebted to an ex, rienced broker, of this cty, for the following int facts in relation to the growth and future prospects tobacco ; showing the value of its cultureto the United ‘States, and to Florida in partioular :—* When an article ison the eve of undergoing « total change in its rela- tions, here and abroad, it is well worthy to lead the at- tention of those interested to the facts. The business in general, and more particularly in kinds most used by segar manufacturers, is un a rapid change. It is a settled fact, that the tion of tobacco most used in Europe for is decreasing, which is to be from dominance which the segar gets over the in the last five years, the consum increased #0 rapidly, that if it goes on at ratio for a few years more, we will be able consume ourselves all those kinds of tobacco grown in this country, which are most sought after, for segar wrappers, and for which the European continent was our best customer. This is so muoh the case, that the rices paid in Bremen, formerly, established our prices Recs, but now # days the tables are turned, and in the very face of low W ytg ste for he sarge amg toad Penn- sylvania seed leat in Bremen, we pa; prices ye \eduitat oscdioehy reahip} i here; and some lote of Connecticut a from Bremen, found ready takers here, and proved @ good operation. The crop of Connecticut seed of 1846, was 5000 cases, of which one half was exported, and the other baif sold here to manufacturers. The crop of 1847 ylelded, it is said, only 2000 cases, Until the latter is in Working condition, we shall run short 2000 cases for immediate use. Thi clear enough, that if the present state of affairs con! 8, of which ‘there can be no doubt, we cannot spare a single case for export, and be in want for 4000 cases more, ¥ October next year.— The new crop, which has been injured by will come forward 1 » but ing paid for average lots from 10 tu 11., we must ourselves to pay the highest rates for lots. Penn. aylvania seedienf, the new crop, we will have two-thirds of the usual number of cases, about 3600, rather heavy, but of a lar Judging of the merits of thesame. The num! rained is said tobe about 110,000, which quantity can be consumed in the State of New York alone. If tobac- same price would be obtained. This year, however, no foubt the highest prices will be obtained for all Fiorids answering the above description, as Havana tobac- co is scarce, and that kind for which Floride forms the substitute is not to be had. Havana and Cubs to- bacco will certainly be affected if the general increased demand for segar tobacco, and if the next year should n produce # good average crop, we may anticipate an advance in price, from 10 to 15 cent, St Domingo tobacco, although entirely out of fashion here, may, un- Present cironmetances, come into use demand for, all black fat Virginia and Kentucky to- bacco, will contiuus so faras it is wanted for tho Alricam and the Pacific trade. Sweden and Norway are rather inoreasing in consumption. For the latter twoodun- tries the demand is regulated according to their fishe- ries. (the poor fisherman indulging in the luxury of “quid,” if fishing has been profitable) they are good customers of ours. Kentucky and Virginia segar leaf will always fetch @ remunerating price.
