FLINT Carry those umbrellas, cottons, and wearing-apparel, up stairs.

He was easy to draw was this man, and already the world had him to study at leisure on lamp chimneys and children's plates, on Anti-Boomfood medals and Anti-Boomfood flags, on the selvedges of Caterham silks and cottons and in the linings of Good Old English Caterham hats.

Bright cottons and silks flaunted pennons of gorgeous colours.

There can be no question that, so far as British agency is directly concerned, or British interest involved, in the contraband introduction of cottons, or other manufactures, or tobacco, it is almost exclusively represented by the trade with Gibraltar.

Not that it is of any signification for more than uniformity, because, on referring to years antecedent to 1839, the relation between imports of cottons and re-exports, with the places from which imported and to which re-exports took place, is not sensibly disturbed.

"Of the imports and exports of Naples, unfortunately, no accounts are possessed; but the imports of cottons into the island of Sicily for 1839 were only to the extent of L.26,000, of which to the value of L.8,000 only from England.

In 1838 the total imports of cottons were for L.170,720, but no re-exportation from the island.

The whole of the inconsiderable exports of cottons from Malta are made to Turkey, Greece, the Barbary States, Egypt, and the Ionian Isles, according to the returns of 1839.

What more preposterous than the vague assumption founded on data little better then guess-work, that one-fourth of the whole exports of British cottons to Italy and the Italian islands, say L.500,000 out of L.2,000,000, go to Spain, when, in point of fact, not one-tenth of the amount does, or can find its way thereor could, under any conceivable circumstances short of an absolute famine crop of fabrics in France and England.

It has been shown that in the year 1840, not the shipment of a single yard of cottons took place from Genoa, the only port admitting of the probability of such an operation.

Not less preposterous is the allegation, that three-fourths of the whole exports of British cottons to Portugal are destined for, and introduced into Spain by contraband.

The second is, the greatly exaggerated notion of the transcendant amount of the illicit trade carried on with Spain in British commodities, cottons more especially.

Among these imports from France, various other prohibited articles are enumerated besides cottons.

As here exhibited, the illicit introduction of cotton goods from France into Spain is almost double in amount that of British cottons.

The export of cottons, woollens, silks, and linens, from that port to Spain, which in 1840 amounted in value to 15,800,000 francs, 1841 also 15,800,000 francs, 1842 had fallen to 5,700,000 francs.
