MONTHLY. COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
Britisu Trape anp MANnuFACcTuRES.— The failures of several houses of the very 
first respectability, both at London and in diferent. provincial towns of Great Britain, have, 
within the last month, been unprecedented in numberandimportance. A West India bro- 
ker, wh6 has long been considered the fixst in his line, was, we are told, the prime cause of 
the stoppage of a banking house, whose credit was previously unimpeached. ‘The several 
banks in the country, connected with the London house, of course shared its fate, and from 
them the evil spread to merchants, manufacturers, traders, and in short, to the very servants 
and dependants of these, numbers of whom are thrown out of employment, and their fami- 
lies deprived of bread. Speculations in Spanish woal, an article which. has fallen aboue 
50 per cent. are considered as the origin of those unloaked-for disasters. Five Maitchester= 
houses have stopped payment in the city, and we are sorry toadd, have involved numerous 
industrious persons, both in town and country, ia their ruin. The demands upon the five 
houses are sald to amountto TWO MILLIONS; but it is supposed that.their real property 
will ultimately cover alk deficiencies. Speculative exports to South Amersiea are the rock 
upon which these houses have split. In consequence of these wnexpected events, public cre= | 
dit is at the present moment as low as ever it has been inthe memory of man; the fluc- 
tuation ef price in the money-market is unprecedented, and the depression so considerable, 
that emnium is fallen to 94 per cent. discount. We understand that some respectable mers 
chants have waited upon the bank directors in order to solicit their aid towards -the allevi- 
ation of the burthens with which our internal commerce is-at present borne down. ‘Fhe 
result of this application fs not as yet pubiicly known; we trust it will prove favourable, 
The renewal of our intercourse with the United States of America has in-some sort bene~ ‘ 
fited the manufacturing interests; but this felicitous effect is almost. swallowed up in the 
vortex of those calamities which it has been our painful duty to record. : 
~ East Inpites.—We tura with a certain sensation of pleasure from the foregoing to the 
present head of our report ; under which we have the satis!accion to announce the safe arsie

Sides several other parcels of goods, the particulars whereof are not yet known. From the 
‘advices brought home by the fleet we learn, that in consequence of the rains not having set 
in till August last; the crops of indige throughout the disirict of Benares were very short, 
that there will not be one-third of, last year’s produce, and that the manuiacture of the artie 
cle will cost 60 per cent more. ‘This «is unpleasing intelligence, for, as we observed ina ¢ 
former report, the East India indigo. becomes daily more valuable. The statement of the 
eargoes has occupied so large a share of our limits, that we can only quote the prices of a 
few of the East India and Chinese ygoods. Bohea tea fetches from 1s 8d. to 9s. 1d. 3 con-
