LONDON MARKETS.

Tuesday, Sept. 28, 1819. Coffee.-The market continued heavy last week, and on the Thursday a depression of 28. a 3s. took place on the ordinary descriptions, the fine nearly supported the former prices. The parcels that were offering in the market by private contract for money, had the effect of further depressing the prices.

Sugar. The business effected by private contract last week was not extensive, yet the market had much the appearance of an improvement, both in the demand and in the prices. The EastIndia sale, consisting of 21,966 packages, went off with some briskness, and it was estimated that about 14,000 packages were sold, and 7,600 bought in. The total imports of East-India Sugar this year, 106,000 packages, of which 74,000 have passed public sale. The stock in the EastIndia warehouse, sold and unsold, is stated at nearly 49,000 packages.

Rice,-16,422 bags declared for sale at the EastIndia House. There were only about 8,000 bags disposed of, the remaining 6,000 were taken in for the proprietors. The total import of Rice from the East-Indies this year is 172,000 bags, of which 120,000 have passed public sale, 52,000 have not passed the sales. The stock of Rice in the East-India warehouses is stated at 184,000 bags.

Cotton.-The India sale, 1st proximo, has been further increased by small parcels of Surat, Bengal, and Bourbon Cottons. The market remains in a very depressed state, and it is generally beIered that the heaviness will continue until the result of the India sale is known.

HUMAN MACHINERY FOR PROPAGATING CHRISTIANITY IN THE EAST.

A previous outline of the branches of this Memoir has engaged us to glance at the complicated specimens of human machinery which have of late years been put into operation in British India, for introducing there and multiplying the ministrations of various forms of religion in the name of Christianity. We see two classes of cultivators working with separate designs: those to enforce its principles among the resident Europeans who profess it; and those to propagate what each independent sect of missionaries deems to be its doctrines among the natives, born strangers to its faith. We shall endeavour to treat of these two branches of duty and experiment distinctly.

1. A View of Christians professing Christianity.

To speak negatively, this can never be morally wrong to speak positively, it may be barely creditable or truly honorable :- as a de Asiatic Journ.-No. 47.

claration of faith, the erection of an altar for public worship in a foreign country is consistent with interest, and is done under the protection of the state, or demands those sacrifices which are the tests of sincerity and courage. The lowest species of dormant faith is that exercised by the Dutch Christians (Calvinists and others) at Nangasaki in Japan. How long this germ. of latent belief might retain the property of evolving into roots and leaves, if not renewed by successive importations from Europe, like the bulbs of choice tulips, no paper in the transactions of any Batavian society for philosophical experiment enables us to determine. We knowindeed, from writers on vegetable physiology, that grain which happens to be buried by the plough too deep to feel the influence of the sweet air, or of the kindly light, will lie dormant for twenty years or more, and still retain the principle of vegetable life, and on being raised by a favourable accident sufficiently near the surface will at VOL.
