consumer will be affected, should they suc- | ceed. We presume that the freight and carriage of sugar to the interior of Russia must be a considerable portion of its price. The prices in the COFFEE Market may be reported as affected by the same causes as those of sugar. The depression is also much the same in proportion, say 2s. to 3s. per cwt. generally; and some more. The finer qualities were the sufferers rather more than those of inferior descriptions: and the latter have more nearly supported their currency. Fine ordinary sold extensively at 136s. to 136s. 6d., some higher. This is not according to the usual course of the demand; but, of late, as we have had occasion to observe, the fluctuations have been scarcely accountable; nor has the best information, or judgement, ventured to anticipate what turn the market would take. The demand for COTTON GOODS, and for Cotton in various states, for exportation, is, we believe, at this time, considerable; and the manufacturers,—such, at least, as may be called the Preparatory Manufacturers, have no reason to complain of any slack in their orders. Nevertheless, there is a visible reserve in the purchase of raw Cottons. At a late sale at the India House, of 7,000 bags offered, not more than 1,200 were really sold the remainder were expected to realize higher prices than the buyers were disposed to accede to; and they were accordingly, perhaps reluct antly, withdrawn. We understand, that the same feeling exists at Liverpool, where the prices have given way from d. to 1d. per lb. generally. At this deduction the sales were not without some spirit; though the prevailing opinion refused to make any advance. The quantity sold was consi derable; say 5,000 bags; the arrivals amounted to 8,000 bags. Thongh this Report has generally the air of a declining market, for most descriptions of goods, yet we know that the commerce of the country during the summer has been very great; as the increased Custom duties received sufficiently prove: the rise in the public income of a million, or a million and a half for thequarter over the corresponding quarter in the last year, speaks strongly in favour of the increased commerce of the country: and this, it will be remembered, notwithstanding the grumblings which in some foreign parts have been loud enough against the monopolizing spirit of Britain. Undoubtedly, the power of Britain to create is wonderful; and the time may come when this very power may be found connected with inconveniences of no ordinary description. A specimen has lately been | We understand that the port of Hull has participated greatly in the general increase of the trade and revenue of this country during the last year. The following is a statement of the number of ship, &c. amount of duties in the corres| ponding quarters of 1817 and 1818, ending the 10th of October, viz: It is possible, that a complete statement of this increase in its various branches, may be laid before parliament on its ensuing session. It will then be seen in what particulars, and in what places the advantage has been most felt. It has been said, in our hearing, that Government must build new, or enlarge old Custom Houses. throughout the kingdom: nor in this kingdom only; our foreign establishments demand similar accommodation; and we know, for certain, that orders are given, and that plans are in progress, not for accommodation, merely, but for embellishment, also, in some of the British possessions, in the western hemisphere, which are gradually rising in the scale of importance. Progress of a POUND OF COTTON.-The following account of one pound weight of manufactured cotton, will show the importance of the trade to the country in a very conspicuous manner. There was sent off for London, lately, from Paisley, a small piece of muslin, about one pound weight, the history of which is as follows:- The wool came from the East Indies to London; from London it went into Lancashire, where it was manufactured into yarn; from Manchester it was sent to Paisley, where it was woven; it was sent to Ayrshire next, where it was tamboured; afterwards it was conveyed to Dumbarton, where it was hand sewed, and again returned to Paisley, when it was sent to a distant part of the county of Renfrew, to be bleached, and was returned to Paisley, whence it was sent to Glasgow, and was finished; and from Glasgow was sent per coach to London. It is difficult precisely to ascertain the time taken to bring this article to market; but it may be pretty near the truth to reckon it three years from the time it was packed in India, till in cloth it arrived at the merchant's warehouse in London; whither it must have been con⚫ CERTIFICATES, Oct. 24. veyed 5000 miles by sea, and 920 by land, | Rebbeck J.

Since this article has been composed the refusal of the American Government to admit British vessels coming from entrepot British ports, laden with Colonial productions, has been confirmed: our Northern Colonies will be glad of this perseverance. West India Rums, Sugars, &c. &c. are now doubled in price throughout America. Why not send them by Canada? AGRICULTURAL REPORT. ESSEX.
