The trade of this flourishing seat of Eastern commerce still moves onward, the aggregate of each succeeding year striding over the preceding one and exhibiting a vi- gorous exertion and advancement which have few paral- Tela in the history of commerce. The increased value of the import and export trade for the official year 1853-54 over the year preceding, amounts to nearly eight millions of dollars, or nearly equal to the sum total of the trade of the place in 1823, four years after the establishment of Singapore as an emporium for trade. The following are the total imports by square rigged and native vessels for 1853-54, $19,958,974; and the total exports for the ‘wan faquiry into the proceediagt, cond n inquiry into the ings, conduct and position of Sir James Brooke, the jah of Sarawak, never been directed by 8 committee of the House of Commons, thiv important and delicate investigation has been entrusted to Mr. Princess and the Honorable Mr. Devereux, who arrived here from Calcutta = few days since, and will hold their first session on the lith of Se tember, The inquiry will be conducted in the Court House, in the most open and public manner.

The Dutch government has exhibited a very laudable ire for keeping its set- tlements mi with ice, as appears front the following translation of @ government regulation, dated July 2, 1664:—That for every ton of ice brought to Java shall ‘be paid from the Treasury # Piemium of ten rupees, whether imported under the Dutch or any other fag.

Decision by Hon, Judge Mitchell. Oct. 26.—in the Matter of Extending Park Place — ‘The ground taken, 65 feet by 385 feet 10 inches, belongs to Columbia College, which also owns about 80 feet on the north side of it, and 45 on the south side. For the land taken, the college is allowed $200,000, and for the benefit of the rest of the land it is assessed $170,000, One of the bjectors values the two strips remaining to the college at $800,000 when the street shall be opened. The part taken is more than half of what is left, and at the same rate would be worth $400,000 and upwards. It would be a most extraordinary improvement, it the bene- fit more than doubles the value of the land; yet such would be the result, if $200,000 is more than the present value of the land taken. There are, however, no proofs as to the value or the amount of damages, «0 that the court is left to the judgment of the Commissioners, and such facts as are apparent on the face of the maps. It was at first contended that in the lower part of the city, if no buildings were taken, the whole assessment for benefit should be borne by the land half way between the improvement and the two streets on either side of it. This is a statutory rule as to lands on the Commission- er's map, and as it applies to the whole property on that map, its effect is generally ual and just; each lot thus Piet pays for half of the street in front of it, and fhe eXpense of opening it, and no more. But no such neral rule has been applied to the lands in the wer part of the city; but then for every improve- ment, every lot that was benefitted, however much it might be, has been made to pay its fair share of the benefit. Columbia College has probably paid in this way for the widening of West Broadway, of College placg, and perhaps even for the extension of Hudson streét in olden time from Duane to Chambers street, apd probably will to pay again when Robinson t shall be wid in continuation of the present improvewent. true rule is as counsel and parties seemed finally to concede on the argument, that the benefit is to be assessed to the owners adjoining the im- ement, and to all others in proportion to the benefit received by each; and that if the benefit to the adjoin- ing owners were equal to the loss to them, and there was benefit also to other owners, the other owners must ‘pe assessed in common with the adjoining owners, each according to the benefit he receives. ‘That is justice, and there is no law against it. The college is assess for benefit to land 125 feet by 385 feet 10 inches $170,000, and the objectors do not consider that too much, but too little; that land would make about 24 lots, cach 26 by 80 feet, and the assessment then is equal to more than $7,000 on an ave on every such lot left to the college. Dr. Trenor holds the house and jot on the northwest corner of College | xe and Robinson street, which is 25 feet 7 inches on College place by 130 feet 6 ‘and he is assessed $1,200, about one-sixth of the average of the college lots, although they are wach smaller than hie. Mr. Ellsworth holds the house and lot on the southwest corner of the same street, which is 27 feet on College place by 76 feet, and he is ayessed $745, about one-tenth of fhe average on tho collége lots, al though his lot is as large as theirs. Robinson «treet is about 35 feet wide, so that the proposed straet being 65 feet wide, and directly opposite to Robinson street, will give a ope ng of 16 feet front to each of their houses rectly through the new street aud Broadway, an vintage almost equal to having an entirely new stre t in front of the lots. The lot of Mr. Mason, next to Mr. Ellsworth’s, is assessed lees, because it is nar. rower, and does not directly face the opening. The lot. of Mr. Bard, next to Mr. Mason’s, ix assessed the same a8 Mr. Mason’s, because while it {s further from the new street, it is larger than Mr. Mason's, being 24 by 112, instead of 23 by 76 feet. The same rule pre- V@ils in assessing other lots, the more distant being deemed to receive the lesa benefit. The owners of the above two lots also say that at a future day Robinson street will be widened, and then fifteen feet will be taken from the width of each of their lots, and, so they say, they will not enjoy the benefit of the improvement. If it ig an improvement to the extent of the assessment, (as this argument assumes,) their property will be worth Fy just so much more, and will be valued accordingly when the new take , and then the owners will be the amount of this assessment, They also say that are lessees under the college, and that the college will, at the end of the leases, receive the benefit of the improvement. That is a very remote benefit, as it will not accrue for sixteen or seventeen years, and to @ rene rtially then, as the lessees are enti! t the liability of the lessees to pay for assessments arises only from their voluntary contract, and must have been considered by both parties when the leases wore made, and the amount of rent must have been regulated accordingly, Some owners on Park place urge that t! should not be assessed, as they allege that they or th ors in ownership ceded the rite of the present. gratuitously. In that the former owners no doubt wisely consulted their own interest, and they have reap- ed a great benefit from it; and when it was done, that part of the street being occupied for private residences: only, one great part of its beauty was the grounds, thelr ancient trees and lawn, forming fine back ground to the view, +o that, at that time, the own- have paid rather to keep those grounds as they to have them open. the meaawhile, these been unproductive to the o while ceded street have been highly table. ceded when the cession was necessary, in ive i, value to the lots, and when the land ittle value, Now the land taken is of .

A trotting match between b. g. Commodore and b. g. Joe Husted was announced to come off yesterday after- noon at the Union Course, and a number of the patrons of the turf went out to witness the race; but returned Gisappointed and with wet jackets. When the horses were brought on the track, Joe Husted appeared very lame in his near hind leg; but his driver, thinking that he might warm out of his lameness, and feeling very sanguine of winning, scored him up several times, and | then came up with the other for the word, Joe broke up, however, as he approached the score, and one’ of the judges cried out “go!” and away went Commodore at a rapid rate ahead of Joe, opening a gap of forty yards to the quarter pole—time, forty seconds. He in- creased the distance between them down the back- stretch, Joe at times going on three legs. Commodore passed the half mile pole in 1:18, and came around to the judges’ stand in 2:40%{, about one hundred and fifty yards ahead of Husted. The backers of Husted were about paying up their supposed losses, when it ‘was announced from the judges’ stand that it was not a race, and that the word ‘‘go!”” had been given by mis- take. This announcement was received with ‘“bravos’’ from the Hi ted party, and with curses laud and long by Commodore’ mds; and before quietness was re- stored, the owner of Joe Husted said he would pay for- feit, amd save the money of his friends. And thus ended the race between these rival horses.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. 3 MONEY MARKET. Toxspay, Oct. 31-6 P. M. ‘The stock market was very much depressed at the opening this morning, and although the transactions were larger than usual, pricesfor nearly every stock on | the list show a decline. At the first board, Illinvis Cen- tral bonda fell off 4 per cent; Pennaylvanig Coal Co., 34 Camberland, 3; New York Central Railroad, 3; Eria Railroad, 34; Rending Railroad, 14; Michigan Central Railroad, 34; Panama Railroad, 1. Virginia 6’s advanced 3g percent. There was considerable activity in railroad Db nds, without any material variation in prices. The @zerations to-day were principally for cash. The ad- vices from Europe relative to the embarrassments of ‘$1¢ commercial classes and the returns of the banks of this city, have had aa unfavorable influence upon the stock market. The numerous heavy failures at Liver- pool and London must be felt seriously on this side of | the Atlantic, Our connections with the mercantile classes ‘of England are no intimate that we cannot escape loss in some shape, either direct orindirect, by whatever tends to destroy private credit there. We are apprehensive that many more are to follow, and that we shall be much restricted in our supply of sterling exchange of proper character, in consequence of the doubt thrown upon bills drawn upon shipments of produce. The stringency in the money market of England has been increased by the policy the Bank of England has been compelled to pursue, in the face of the steady drain of specie for the Continent, and we are in the midst of similar difficulties and embarrass- ments from a similar cause, The banka of this city have been compelled to contract their movements materially, and turn the screws upon the money market,to prevent, if posalble—or at least to reduce—the rapid shipment of specie to England. In this they have been partially suc- cessful, and we have no doubt they will continue the pressure until the object is entirely accomplished. The Bank of England must provide o supply to sustain the drain upon them from the Continent, and there is every reason to believe she will doit at any cost. This coan- try is her greatest source of supply, and we have no doubt tho bulk of the present shipments is stimulated by the capitalists of London on account of the bank. Our foreign trade, for the last six months, has not been so largely against us as to reqiire such an enormous ex- portation of rpecie to equalize the balance, and it is our opinion that mpze specie is going than the commercial relations of the two countries justify. This cannot continue much longer, unless our mar- kets are filled again with foreign manufactures on foreign account. The accumulation of sterling ex- change, by the shipments of produce, must Of itself give us large resources on the other side, which will go far towards the payment of imports. If we aro compelled to hold the bulk of this exchange until it ma- tures, in the absence of a market here, it may cause some embarrassment, and enable the agents of the Bank of England and other parties to continue for a time longer their shipments of specie; but it will ultimately react; and if our home banks keep up the present contraction, we should not be surprised to see the current of specie set ting this way before the lapse of many months, The financial affairs of the two greatest commercial countries in the world are just at this moment ina very difficult position. Both are undergoing a drain of specie, What leaves us for London, merely passes through that mar- ket on its way to the Continent. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to the Bank of England that remit- tances of gold from this side should not cease, and it is equally important to the most vital interests of this country that it should cease as soon aa possible. It is, therefore, a contest between the bank of the great finan. cial centre of Europe, and the banks of the great financial centre of the United States. Our shipments of specie | to London have enabled the Bank of England to meet the demand from the Continent, without much reducing its own volume, Upwards of six millions of pounds sterling have been shipped from this port alone during the past nine months. Had the Bank of England not received that large sum from the United States, its own supply would have been so much reduced that a revulsion ten-fold greater than that. yet expe- rienced would have spread over that country long before this. If we can keep down our imports we can partially arrest the export of the precious metals and if the banks do not launch out again into all sorts of specula- tions and expansions, but, on the contrary, contract gradually but steadily, the imports will be kept down, and we shall have an opportunity to accumulate a few millions of specie, instead of letting all we get from Call- fornia merely pass through our hands on its way from San Francisco to London.

The Ontario and St. Lawrerte Steamboat Company have de- clared a dividend of ten per cent upon the capital of the company. The Great Falls and Conway Railroad Com- pany earned for the year $15,348 50, which was $7,784.40 above the expenses.
