The remarks of Sir Brooke scarcely We must all sorrow fally admit their truth, and receive the Warning. If merchants cannot combine, they are assuredly not utterly powerless to prevent this "playing into the hands of the Chinese by bidding one against

Dr B. amplifies Dr Eitel's Bapal bull into several decrees, arriving however, at the same conclusion, that the controversy was thus summarily bet at rest. But here again be introduces us to another singular dis covery, viz, "that the decisions of the Pope have just no much of force as they bave of truth and reason in their favour."

videatly Dr. Blodget belongs to a different school of Divinity to that which at present We commend this prevails in England. discovery to the attention of Dr. Newman and others whose minds have been consi- derably exercised of late about certain Papal decrees. We have generally under- aloud that the force of them stood in an inverse ratio to both their truth and reason. ableness; but perhaps Dr. B. would have us accept all that do stand and have stood since the Council of Trent sa true and rea- sonable because they do undoubtedly so stand.

The Popes, the Dominicans, and Bishop Smith, all feared paganism if Shang-ti were used; and Dr. Blodget has still the same foar, in spite of the utter absence of proof that its use after 50 years' experience has ever so resulted! We suppose most of his roaders will prefer an ounce of living men's experience to pounds of theory enttociated by defunct Popes or even learned" Do minicans.

A great deal of difficulty has arisen among those engaged in the Silk Trade in consequence of the recent fall having caused many who had bought for arrival to throw up the silks as not up to muster or desprip tion. Much of the money which it was supposed, had been made by intermediate speculators will thus appear to have been. realized only on paper, and considerable disappointment is likely to eneas. It does not appear that the speculators can be considered to have been unjustified In their calulations, as the present fall is pistoly attributed to political compilations, and the prospect of war, which at the time the contrasts were made could not be foreseen.. It is carions to note that somewhat similar collapse in the Silk market occurred on the outbreak of the Franco-German WEL
