A. for figures concerning the production of beet sugar in Germany may be of interest. 1838/7 192 mills were in operation, turning out about 25,40flowts, of the raw article; in 1841/2 the number had risen to 190, and the pro. duction to 256,000owts; and in 1849/50, 148 with an output of us 769,000exts. Fifty years later the number of mills was 3, and the annual production 3,800,000%ovie! The home consumption on increased from 512lbs. per houd in the begin. ning of the last century to 26.5 at its clase, and how stands at about 321s, the decline in prico owing to be abolition of the expect bounty having stimulated the demand.

BACCHARINED WOOD,
Wood prepared in this manner is said to lose its póréunit and to berome harder, beavior, and more durable; an Tinuidditiozial advantage of the process is averred to be that it can be applied to green wood, which becomes fit for use without any danger of warping. It remains to be soon, however, how the thing will "pan out," as the Americans say.

Mr. Harding-This netion against the junk is -to recover damages for non-delivery of a portion of goods entrusted for earringe by a Shing Lee junk, of which the defendant is the owner. There were a Inaidred jars of good, the een onts of cock jar weighing fifty eatties-five thousand] catties in all - and the valug was $10.50 per picul (525 altogether). These goods were put on board for safe parriage to Hongkong. The jank arzivud hers on the morning of the 12th-they endeavour to direct trade to Antwerp

The igures given may therefore be assumed to excoed the actual ones by at least 10 per seal.
His Houour-What were the goods? Mr. Jarding Rico, As Your Lordship knows, the Chinese Government does not want rice to be exported from the country, so the rice in question was put up in jars and styled chit choy (a dark coloured turnip). The de- fendant and plaintiff arranged togol her.
His Honour-Rice came down under cloak of turnips for Customs purposes?

Before the goods were removed from the junk the attention of the master, was called by the bostan to see of the jars being light and some heavy. The other replied that this was no business of, kis. Immediately the goods arrived in the shop the attention of the plaintiff was called were light. The to the fact that, some plaintiff thereupon opened the top of one of the jam and found that a lot of rice had been removed. He then went to the junk and asked tho master to come on shore und see the rice weighed. The men declicul to do so. The jars were thon opened in the presence of witnesses, and it was found that ninety-six out of the hundrad jars had holes made through the baskets and furs, evidently land and by son during the last five years. to allow the rice to leak out.

If Rotterdam owes much of its sucress tarifs proximity to the estuary of the Rhine, Hunlag is indebted in a similar manner, although perhaps not quite to the same extent, to the River Elbe for the rapid expansion of its trade, Navigable almost to the frontier, of Bohemia this river opens up a wide histerland, compris. ing agricultural, mining, and industrial districts of considerable importance. It is not surprising therefore, that Bremen, which does not posscas the advantage, should be bestan in the race. to trade has made steady progress as shown by the above figures, but its scope is more limited, and it is confined to fewer articles.
