circumstances. And even among those who have been, and aull, even after emigration, continue to be Ituriste, a strong commercial spirit prevails. In different settlements in which they have already established themselves, they have shown themselves skilful in the cultivation of the most different species of products, “Formosa,” says Mr. Parker, ‘‘com- paratively unknown to them centuries ago, is Bow supposed to contain three millions of Chinese, andthe amount of sugar, rice, hemp and indigo which they export thence is enormous. Nearly an equal number is spread’through Annam, Siam, and the Strait settlements, where they are the prin- al cultivators, traders, miners and artizans. Gambier plantations of Singapore, employ- ment on which is attended with danger on account of ex; to tigers, are chiefly in the hands of Chinese. In Java there are large indigo and coffee planters, and the extensive sugar and tobacvo culti- vation of this island was at one time wholly in their hands. Elsewhere, 1s in their own land, they are ers of cotton, and their delicacy of touch pecu- ly fits them for the occupation of ‘sorting the dif- it qualities.’ a ‘Bowring notices two invaluable elements for governing them well when they are brought to- gether in settlements, which, he says, will be inva- Hably fonnd among the Chinese—the habit of asso- d respect for authority. How to govern fren who have attaiced the foius of eivization to which the Chiaese have arrive ter, especially when a system of ethics and religion, and the ons of centuries of national isolation, combine to interpose a for- midable barrier between the ralers and the ruled. ‘Phe very qualities which Dr. Bowring instances as such important aids to the enforcement and pre servation of disc'pline, seem dependent almost for their existence upon the maintenance of national customs, national institutions, and national modes of thought. Respect—the quality which is the founda- tion of all obedience—is with them directed into a peculiar channel by the influence of habit and early education.. What they learn to reverence is old age, parental authority, and such literary excellence as consists in the knowledge of their classical books. Dr. Bowring informs us that he has himself witnessed ig no easy mat- examples where a turbulent mob, wholly rdiess of the presence of armed m’ st and bands of soldiers, has listened to and dispersed a‘ the estion of a solitary literary mandarin, appearing only with his tan, and quoting them some aphorism from the books of their sages. Such a people are docile, gentle, and tractable in the hands of those who can appeal to them in the way which long ex- perience has shown to give a ready access to minds 80 peculiarly constituted and trained, but are apt to prove unmanageable and refractory when feted ‘under a system alien to their feelings and their ha- bits, The Chinese, too, honestly and devoutly be- Jieves that his country is superior in its learning, literature and institutions, to an; rtion of the outer world; and this deeply instilled national vani- ty isa great bar to his proving docile under the guidance of a foreigner. Several (Ae freighted with coolies have been lost by the Chiuese rising upon the officers and crew ; and it is stated that, in some instances at least, there has been (sas Teason to believe that the ey may be fairly attributed to the want of judzment d mayen in the manage- ment of the passengers, and of proper care in pro- viding for their accommodation aud good treat- ment. The Chicese,” says the consul at Shang- hae, ‘will often bear a great deal for a time, and unrepivingly; but when roused at last to impatience or resistance, they know no re- straint, and have no value for human life.” And not only are they stung to resistance by injurious treatment, but there are certain indulgences, and a eertain amount of consideration in trifles, on which they insist, and without which they are sure to make their employers regret that he has spent his money haeworiirs theirservices. They willnot bear being kept very closely to their work, or allow themselves to be driven forward at a faster pacethan is habitual tothem. As living is cheap in their native country, they never care to serve in a piace that does not suit them. ‘They are fond of a sort of gossiping relaxa- tion; and will often leave off for a few minutes in the middle of their work, however well disposed to do it fairly, while they smoke and chatter.” They are fond ot holidays, and manage in their native coun- try to make a good many. if they are dissatisfied with their work or their treatment, and are in cir- cumstances where they cannot or dare not leave, they become sulky and impracticable. In short, nae judicious and considerate masters, they are some of the best, and under negligent or severe mas- ters, some of the worst, laborers to be found. ‘There does not seem to be much difficulty in find- ing persons willing to emigrate, although, of course, those who leave their own country are never among the thriving and settled portion of the populaticn. But the rate of wages is very low, and a sufficient number can always be tempted by the prospect of the ample remuneration which a tropical planter can ‘efford to bestow; 4d., or perhaps 3}d., is the daily hire of an able bodied man. A first class agricul- taral laborer is on the footing of a skilled craftsman, and receives 6d.a day; he is e: for this to un- derstand sowing and reaping, ploughing and irri- ting, the compounding of manures, liqnid and solid Genich is the greattriumph of Chinese agricultare,) and generally the entire cultare of rice, wheat, millet, Indian corn, meet cane, and numberless other pro- duets of the soil. A man who knows so much as thi May well be anxious to receive rather more than £8a year. Emigration is expresely prohibited by the law | of China, but this does not seem to Spemes as any ehbeck upon its amount, oreven on the degree of pub- licity with which it is carried on. To leave the do- minions of their father, the Emperor, is a heinous Tebellion against his parental authority, but is one that is always pardoned, or, rather, overlooked. The enly effect of the existence of the probibitory law is that, in cases where Chinese return to their native country, they have to offer a portion of their wealth to the mandarin in command of the district, to per- guade him to remain unconscious of their having ‘wandered from their home. An instance of one re- turned emigrant is given, whose gains abroad had been so large that he was prepared to disburse £40,000 as hush money to the mandarins. The coolies are generally procured through the mey of a number of crimps, who are dignified with the name of coolie brokers. These crimps Leap the arts of recruiting. They send out ‘ir scouts to the villages, and haunt the resorts of the poor and idle about the towns. They distribute prin d bills, containing the terms of the contract, xy lend cash to those whom, after examining, they accept, for the purpose of gambling and buying cakes, or disbu:se a dollar or two to quiet friends, which they are afterwards repaid with usurous in- terest when the contracts are signed, and the ad- vances upon the contracts have been made to the coolies on board the vessel, as she is on the t of starting. But there has not, it is said, m apy approach to kidnapping, and, gene- fally speakixg, the treatment of the coolies while still on shore has given no ground for com- plaint. The emigration to the West Indies is still quite in its infancy, and the small num- ber who have keen cent out to Australia are eearcely to be considered even the beginning of an emigration. But we learn from the terms of the contracts entered into by persons emigrating tothese Gestinations, what are the prospe.ts that are foand enfficient to induce a Chinese to quit his home. B; 7 Demerara coutract, tae coolies are bound to wor! n shops, sbeds, or in the fields, as may be conve- nient, for three dollara a month. The allowance of food is eight ounces of salt beet, and one and a half — of plantains, beans, or other similar kind of |. Medioal assistance is guaranteed in the infir- mary without loss of pay for fifteen days, after which the pay stops, but the patient continues in the in- fismary til) the term! ion of the contract without expense ; two suits of clothes, a woollea jacket, and blanket are allowed yearly ; the contract is to last fer eignt yeurs from arrival in Demerara, after which the emigrant is free to labor for himself. A small sum of money is ad- vanced, and two saits of clothes supplied before embarkation, and a dollar is deducted every month trom the wages until the sum advanced and the cast of the clothes is repaid. There is no stipulation for ‘the return of the laborer to China. The Syduey con- ‘tracts are for five years; the wages are fixed at 24 dollars per month, ana the weekly provision is to consist of ten pounds of meat and the same of wheat, @ quarter of a pound of tea, and snch other articles jay be agreed on. ‘The greaiest obstacle to successful emigration of the Chinese is the almost invincible repugnance of Chinese women to leave their homes. Isis a current seport respecting the native emigration to the com- pany’s settlements in the Straits, that though the annual numberof male emigrants is at least 5,000, only ane woman during the present eentury has gone there from China; and as the Chinese never emi- grate with their families, their anxiety to re- warn to their homes is proportionately greater, especially a3 religion and ancient custom make them desirous, before all things, to maintain un- broken tke chain of reverential honors paid to ances twal tombs. 1t seems advisable that, after the con- elusion of the period fixed by the contracts, or when advancing years preelude the expectation of conti- nued labor on the part of the emigrants, some fa- effities should be given by the authorities of the colony in which they have been employed for the retarn of well-conducted laborers, as the ‘best means of improving the character of the emigration. The folly and recklessness of those engaged in the transportation of coolies ¢o their several destinations have also raised up “ee barrier in the way of extensive of the better class of laborera, which is at ne the most formidable difficulty with whish those who are interested in the suc- cess of such. an emigration have to contend. In- eoflicient space, provisions unfit for human ¢an- gamption, all the misxries which rapacious and brutal avarice can inflict on Ned passen- » have made the voyage of the most extreme dread and disgust to the ‘Chinese. “The return to the district of Sue: says Dr. Bowring, of 4 great number of who have escaped from the Robert Browne and other vessels, amd who have reported to their eountrymen the ill usage and cruelties to which they and their companions were anbjected, will, J have o tly augment the difficulties of obtaini bane of TMbertrs, and not leas deteriorate she que: lit Hi ose who will be now willing to leave China.” mischief iv, that persons gnilty of oppression exercised towards coolies escape almost entirely without punishment, and it is very difficult to an- ticipate the evil. British Jaw in China can only be eutireed through the British Consuls, and ‘the persons concerned in emigration eould, with the support or connivance of the Chinese authorities, which would be readily obtained, ship their emi- grants at places in which no British consular autho- rity existed, and in which, consequently, the ships would escape even the general check on their pro- ceedings which is derived from the existence of such an authority. It may be possible to make some ae lations which shall diminish the evil. A penalty might be sips on any British ship that took in passengers before receiving a certifieate from the consul that she was ina proper condition for the voyage, or which took in a greater number of emi- ine is than was allowed by the certificate. When, , & British colony is the’ destination of the ship it is comparatively easy to make persons offendin, against British law amenable to its discipline. It ight thus be possible, in the course of time, to con- vince the natives thatemigrants toa British colony were always Properly cared for, whatever were the sufferings endured by those who were conveyed to i other destinations, From Amoy alone 6,000 emi- |, be prScurea uy, OF even. rants could, it is eald, be anauaiiy, Ta | jovble that number, with improved facilit is a source of free labor inexhaustible, and of the very character requisite to give their proper value to our West India possessions, It cannot be supposed that England will really endure that the selfish shor!:ightedness of a few shipowners and captains sane deprive her of so important an element of wealth.

I sailed from New York in the bark Oregon, Capt. Higgins, for this port, on the 22d of March last, Wo had about two hundred passengers on board, gath- ered from Canada, and most of the States of the Union, Western, Northern, and Southern. We had passage of one hundred and six days, having ar- rived out on the Gth of June. We made a straight course for this port, and I never saw land from the time we left Sandy Hook until we saw the head- lands, not far from Port Philip. We had no sickness on board beyond sea-sickness, and Capt. Higgins (from the Old Dominion) was very clever to all on board; and as a testimonial of his kindness, we, the cabin passengers, presented him with a silver trum pet, to be purchased In New York by Greenway Brothers. Our voyage presented few incidents worthy of de- tail, beyond those hts encountered during a similar tedious journey. ‘e had the misfortune to lose one passenger, a poor Irish boy, by the name of Maloney, recently from the factories of Connecticut. He fell overboard and was drowned. His melancholy fate was seriously regretted by all on board, whose spirits were much dampened by the accident. The beauty and splendid plumage of the tropical sea birds were admired by all. We caught several as they came near the vessel when rounding the Cape. I caught one albatross, which measured eleven feet trom tip to tip of his wings. There is much interest felt here, and especially among Americans, to know who will receive the ap- pointment of Consul to this port. There are several American residents in business here who have made application for it. The office has become one of mach importance, and promises to be lucrative. Whoever the fortunate man may be, I trust that he shall boldly act up to the principles ct our repuoli- can institutions, and display sufficient courage to keep the stars and stripes fiying over his head all the time. ltis a great relief to an American to see his national colors flying in the breeze of a distant land. Yesterday, for the first time since I have peen in the country, the American colors were uoturled. The American merchants, so called by the Ameri- cans, but by the English, ‘‘ Yankee merchants,” are,at least ull who have capital sufficient to operate on, succeeding—though there is @ great fulling off in trade, especially in merchandise, owing to the great quantities which come in from America and from England. The emigration to this place is enor- mous, and reaches an average of from 500 to 1,000 people per week every week since I arrived here. The ship Nimrod, from New York, has arrived in | the bay of Port as Her passengers have not | yet been landed, but be in a few days. There are now about 500 ships laying in the bay, and a | number of them unloaded. Lighterage is scarce at present is about thirty shil- | and high. The pany | lings per ton.

I would as soon take $1,000 and bet it a a faro bank worth $5,000, with a view of breaking it, as to expect to make a fortune in the mines digging gold. : Both the city and country are infested with robbers toan extent never heard of in any other part of the world. It is almost dangerous for a man to rep out after dark in Melbourne, or to cross over to Colling- ‘wood, just across the river, and which contains 30,- 000 inhabitants. | . It is pleasing to announee that the colony of Vic- | toria is rapidly increasing in wealth and population, and that extensive improvements are either under way or are projected. Among others, there is a railroad now under contract from Breton to this city, and also another from Williamstown to Melbourne. Notwithstanding these and other indications of ad. vancement, there is wide-spread discontent amongst the cclonists geuerally. Thisis not confined to Vic- toria, but the inhabitants of the esau oelag colo- nies are holding Fea meetings, and discussing their grievances. Public meetings are also held to dis- cues the new C em agareren my ptoea for the accept. ance of the British Colonial government. The peo- | ple of this colony, heretofore, have paid but little attention to the subject; but they are now, however, beginning to open their eyes, and I think, from all I can learn from the most distinguished and influential | men, that the colony of Australia will ere long be | compelled to declare its independence, and set up anew republic of itsown.

From the London Times, Nov. 4.] A fresh blue-book on the affairs of Australia, which has lately been issued, furnishes the materials fora resumé of the steps adopted up to the present time for accomplishing that vital object forthe develope- ment of the{country—the introduction of steam navi- gation on the river Marray. It appears that the navigation of this river for steamers of light draught has been ascertained to be practicable for a distance of 1,300 miles from the neighborhood of its mouth, in the colony of South Australia, through | a territory of undisputed richness, which constitutes the respective frontiers of the colonies of Victoria and New South Wales. An obstacle, how ever, ex- iste to the conveyance of produce frem these districts tothe sea at Encounter Bay, South Australia, in consequence of the surf on the beach where the river peer itself, which renders exit or entrance im- | practicable. To obviate this difficulty, it has therefore | been proposed to construct a tramway from the bay, seven in length, up to that part of the river where the impediment ceases, while at the same time prizes bave been voted by the legislative coun- | cilof South Australia for the first two steamers | that shall successfully navigate the river to the | point of its junction with the Darling, a distance of to miles. The construction of the railway has ap- peared to Sir H. Young, the governor, to be the first and most important olject to be accomplished, inas- much as the opening up of the river by steam vessels would be of little use without good facilities for a fea outlet, but it was not without considerable op- ony from the townspeople at Adelaide, who that the shipping trade of that may be rivalled by a new » 80 near toit that the authority was obtained from the home government for carrying it into effect. The estimated cost is only £21,000, and is to be defrayed from the crown land fund; but, although the sanetion of the colo- nial office was given more von Mate tees an; ress mn made The prentama tor the first two navigate the siver, amount to- does not appear in the undertaking. steamers that shal) gether to £4,000, and will be defrayed from the colo- ue; but in this case, also, the prospects of realization are not clear. A year back tae advices from Adelaide mentioned that a Mr. Caddell, a ship- master in the merchant service, had offered, after having explored the river for 1,300 miles, to con tract for the navigation of it with two steamera of the required description, but if this has been follow- ed up no account of it has yet tran’ pired. The colo- nial authorities appeared to expect that when the premiums should be advertised im the London Ga zette a company would most probably be started in London to carry the scheme. Nothing of this sort took place, although in August, last year, Messrs. Allen and Skinner, engineers, of Upper Thames street, intimated to the Colonial Office that they were about to leave for Australia, and contemplated taking out two steamers of 40 to 50 horse power, and of an average draught of two feet seven and a-half inches, if they could obtain some guarantee from the government that, in case of success, the premium might be considered cer- tains These vessels had been already used on the Thames, and it was proposed, by lengthening them, to reduce the draught to two feet. Whether ther were taken out as proposed is, however, not stated, the colonial office being unable to furnish any guaran- tee of the kind applied for, as the matter rested solely with the local government at Adelaide. Meanwhile, no other question possesses equal im- portance as regards the permanent welfare of the colonies, since the Murray obviously offers the means of far higuér Mciéd that dan be obtained from the Nd fiel a BS Lay be the ae i ereinaeas ig supplies of wool, tgllow, hides, and grain, while, in addi ion, the me a Tanges on its borders are said to contain mineral wealth of no ordinary kind. Dien, between se pcos Mank sseyen ra Company an or Detroit Theatre, ) [From the Detroit Tribune, Nov. 15.) There is a hoses as rather significant old that he who lays down with dogs will get up with fleas. Italian opera troupe have bad a rather forcible illustration of the truth of the proverb in their intercourse with the pro- prietor of the Metropolitan theatre. After finding that they could not procure Firemen’s Hall for their appear- ance, they leased the theatre for a given number of nights ats stipulated price. This amount was paid each night in good faith, and to the apparent satisfaction of the lessee. But last evening, after the performance was over and the audience had left, but before the company had dore so, the doors of the theatre were locked, and Sherlock, backed up by several hirelings with clubs, de- manced eighty dollars more than was agreed upon between S. nt of the company exhibited his contract, but was told he must comply with the demand or the company could not leave the theatre. The pro- prietor also had the ruffianism to enter the dressing room, where some cf the ladies of the troupe were changing their dresses, and to insult them with threats of violence if the money was not ferthcoming. After a at Ceal more of this exhibition of brutality, and find- ae they had fallen into a den of thieves, and ‘that they were in the power of the ruftian gang of black mailers, they at last consented to pay the eighty dollars or so, de- manded, when in fuct they did not owe a dollar according to the terms of their contract. a These are the facta of this infamous outrage, as they have been related to us. They may or may not be cor- rect in all particulars. But they are so in keeping with what we have understood to be the conduct of the man in quertion, in his eapacity of proprietor of the theatre, that we are prepared to believe that they are not too strongly stated. And now, we ask the citizens of Detroit how long they will permit this cisgraceful pest to be kept amongst them by their patronage. The character of the city is involved in its continuance, .and as lovers of peace ard decency it becomes them to abate the nuisance, by withholding the means by which it is sustained. Against a well managed theatre, by respectable men, we have no prejucice. But the quicker the city is rid of one where such outrages as the above are practised, the better for the character and well being of the city. P ‘incethe above was writteu we have received the following card, which, it will be seen, substantially sustains the above statement :— TO THE PUBLIC. The underrigned, members of the Artists’ Association, fearing that wrong impressions may go abroad relative to the difficulty they had in settling with the proprietor of the Metropolitan theatre, would respectfully*submit, for tLe information of the public, the following statenient, viz — That they hired this theatre for four nights, at the stipulated sum of $40 per night, the proprietor agreeing to furnish gas lights, supernumeraries, carpenters, door- keepers, and one person to attend to the stage aut to keep the theatre clean. 2d, That by the orders of the proprietor, money was paid from time to time by the treasurer of the Artists’ Association to some of the men employed, which was to be deducted out of the amount to be paid to Mr. Suer- Tock, and for which they have the receipts. 8d, On Monday night, after the performance, while the gentlemen and ladies of the company were undress- ing, the proprietor of the theatre and the persons in his employ, came into the dressing room, and with great violence of action, and in the most abusive language, demanded repayment of the amount already pa'd, an which the contract shows he had himself agreed to pay. In the meanwhile the doors of the theatre were closed and nailed, and the company, ladies and gentlemen, were told by men, who shook their tists in their faces, that they would not be allowed to pass out of the theatre to ask for advice or to seek assistance, until these unjust demands should be complied with Being imprisoned with a number of ruffian looking men, threatening vio- lence not only to themselves but the ladies who were presents the extortion was submitted to, and the money was paid. Grateful to the people of Detroit for their generous patronage, and kind attentions which have bean showered upon them, the underrigned believe it to be their duty to themselves and to the citizeny to expose the Injustice, imposition, and ruffianty treatment to which they were compelled to submit rather than have it said they were persona who had no self respect and who were willing to isturb the peace of the city for a paltry sum, which they would willingly have paid rather than have suffered the gross insults inflicted on themselves and the ladies in their charge. With the hope that this statement of facta will explain the cause of the rumored disturbance of Monday t, and that the public of Detroit will not deem the under- signed _insenaible to pe Kindness, nor ungrateful for thei ralit, ey si emvelves respectful, dah LUIGr ARDTL LUIGI SANTELLIA, GASPARI POZZOLINT, FRANCE3CO TAFFANELLI, GULIO MACHI. Attempt to Force a Youn; vent of the Sisters dence. [From the Providence Tribune, Nov. 15.] An unsucces+ful attempt was made on Sunday, about three o’clock in the afternoon, to force a child into the house of the above order of nuns. We have been enabled to trace the circumstances to their foundation, which are as follows :— Noas ly three years ago the parents of the child, (Ann Fallen, } died, leaving this girl and an ol ter sister, in de- pendent circumstances. The younger was, by her sister, placed in the care of the superior of this Catholic institu: tien, About six months since, a gentleman of this city, finding it necessary to conrect some young girl with his family, rent to this institution, when the above named child was sent to him by the Superior, recominending her as faithful and obedient, and requesting that she should be left without restraint in the instruction of the Catholic religion. ‘These instructions were carefully adhered to by the family in which the child was serving, All pas:ed quietly, till, within a short time, Aun’s sister has mani- ated great concern lest the attachment, rapidly atrength- ening between the family and child, should gradually estrange the latter from the Catholic Church, and she was urged to return to the convent. This she strongly re- sisted. Frequent mersengers were now despatched to bring back the child te the imstitution. The child was consulted by the family.as to her wishes in this respect, aud when told that her clothes were prepared to take with her if she choose to go, she burst into tears and dof them to retuin her, And she was retained, and atill was allowed to attend the Catholic Church and San- Gay school as usual. Last Sunday, as customary, the cbild attended church, and in the afternoon, white at the Sunday school, +he was accosted by an Irish gitl named Mary Kaine, who bad been very active in woring to restore the child to the convent, (and who was attached to the institution,) who took her from the clans in which she was being instructed, and placed her in another, over which she was teacher. ' During service, she decoyed the girl srom church, and together with an Irishman, named Richard Newman, suceeeded under pre- text of showing her a “splendid rock house near the ferry on the opposite side of the river,” in leading her away. ‘Ater a long and fatiguing walk they at length came in right of the roek house. Then the design ef hor crafty companions broke upon her mind, and uttering a wild and piercing scream, she struggled asif forlife with her cap- tors, The man ran toalarmthe inmates of the convent. Suddenly the windows were filled by the sisters, anxious to witness the scene, while two of them stoed by the door in readiners to close it the moment their innocent victim should crossed the threshold. Meanwhile the terrified and incesrant screams and struggles of the child began to Alarm the neighborhood, upen apprehending which the man cried out, “fetch her along, quick! feteh her along!” Ones more the wicked Mai ine endeavored to reach the door with her prize, but the apparent intention of the hurrying neighbors to rescue the child, prompted her to abandon {t. And rushing to the door, the two miserable and defeated tools of the establishment, sought shelter thin the convent, while in an instant, like a disturbed uupassuming calm, srery thing external which would sug: gest the presence of life with'n was hermetically sealed up. The poor child was immediately taken back to the houre of her benefactor, (for such she esteems him,) who feels bound to protect the orphaned girl until her own election shall separate her from the family.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Faway, Nov. 18—6 P, M. The stock market improved a fraction this morning. ‘The bears were large purchasers at the advance, for de- livery, But for the demand from that source, transac- tions would have been more limited. The bear interest is rapidly running out. This leaves the bulls in a very bad position, So long as the bears continue heavily short, there is a pretty good guaranty that the market will continue active; but when the bulls hare large lots of stock in hand and very few contracts outstanding, there is danger of forced sales, without finding purchasers ex- cept at very low prices. The bears are the only class of speculators compelled at times to purchase fancies, no matter what the market value may be; and when they are not in that position tke bulls have very little hope At the first board to-day New York Central Railroad Bonds advanced 3; per cent; Delaware and Hudson, 44; Bank of North America, 1<; Pennsylvania Coal, 14; New York Central Railroad, %(; Erie Railroad, % ;#@eading Railroad, 34; Norwich and Worcester, 4; New Haven Railroad, 34. Nicaragua Transit declined 34 per cent; Cumberland Coal, 14. Prices for fancy stocks,generally have been advanoed and sustained by the purchases of speculators, who have taken hold pretty sharp, and laid in large supplies. They must soon get filled up at thia rate, and then the princi- pal cause of the inflation will disappear. When these operators become sellers, they will find a different state of things in the stock market.

But while this larguor is go apparent throughout every brinch of the fe, it is gratifyidg to }now that our importerr, who bave’bsen most severely trie¢ by the pressure in financial circles, and all prudent commission merchants, who have like wise share in the difficulties occasioned by the excited state of monetary matters, fiad themrelves in compara tively safe poritions, and well prepared for the spring business. In making fature arrangement for this, we trust they will bear in mind the experience of the past, and avoid, so far as compatible with the retention of their faithful customers and the natural growth of their trade, excessive and injudicious importations, no matter how enticing may be the terms offered by foreign manufacturers, ‘or how great may be their own ability to distribute invoices on timilar con- ditions.

Of the truth of thexe rema’k# a large number of our most influential merchants are already convinced, and determined to discountenance all practices apt to favor an opposite comclusion.

We are anxioutly looking out for news from England with re- gard to its receptien there. The people who welcomed Beréan with open arms, will be at a loss to testify their sense of its merits. North Carolina Copper sells at 40, The public are perhaps not acquainted with the tenor of a repert "made by Edward B. Wilder to the President, in which, after stating that ‘that the prospects of the mine cannot be equalled by any in the State,” the superintend- ent goes on to say that ‘the moment our crusb, ers and hutches are in operation, which will be about the middle of the present month, we shall be able to turn out daily, from five to seven tons of No. lore, or about 200 tons per month.” We are total- ly at a loss to conceive what purpose the managers in- tended to serve by publishing such statements as this. They are experienced men in our business community, and cannot have expected people to believe so absurd an assertion, Sane men are not to be persuaded that a mine which occupies nothing like the first rank in North Carolina, will pay its whole capital back in a single year. ‘They ought to know that exaggerations, which are, per- haps, excutable in s mining captain, whose selary de- nds on the success of the mine, cannct be forgiven in Board of Directors, and do not serve in any appreciable degree to enhance the marketable value of the stock. A little exercise of memcry would soon convince the mana- gers of the North Carolina that réports like Mr. Wilder’s rather tend to injure than to benetit a concern. We ere sorry to hear that the Groat Northern Lead suspends operations from want of funds. Is appears that they expected to find lead at the very commencement of their works; instead of which it became necessary for them to expend consi¢eradle sums in surface works, and thus to use up all the available cane they had. The sum they require Coes not exceed $20,000; and as the in- dications warrant them in expecting @ fair return from the mine when it shall have been thoroughly opened, we trust they will raise it, and proceed with thei operations.
