Thu statistics of imports and exports far the year 1859, just issued by the Board of Trade, posies' great interest, the past year having been one of the most remarkable on record. It was remarkable, because, though it was separated by only a twele► month from • period of universal panic in the com mercial world, the ncuperative energies of trade were displayed in a manner never beton) equalled. The exports of 1839, representing according to the odic al returns an aggregate or 130,440,4271., were by far the largest on record, being fourteen millions above those of 1838, and eight millions above those of 1837, the year when trade ran riot. From these figures we may draw conclusions explanatory of the coarse of the money market. In 1857 the commercial public were very im provident. They traded beyond - their means. They despatched enormous consignments of goods to distant markets, the balk of the re turns for which could not be received fee • long time. Meanwhile an immediate responsibility was assumed in respect of the raw material obtained from abroad and worked op into those goods. The large profits which flowed in from previous consign ments were at once embarked in fresh ventures. If Great Britain in one year exports one hundred millions of good., in the following year one hundred and twenty millions, and in the third year one hundred and thirty, it is reasonable to look for a tight money market and • rise in the value of capital; since a noosiderable amount of property is sent away on credit, and is partly repre sented by en increased amount of commercial paper float tug in the market and requiring to be cashed. It may be that in the third year payment up received foe the hundred and twenty millions of goods sent away in the second; bet if the profit be immediately re-embarked in the same class of helloes. the state of tension become the greater. It stands to reason that the third year's exports must involve • heavier strain upon the money market than those of the second year, fees pending the returns, a cull larger amount of bills is afloat. The course of trade is 1837 was very mush of this met. But iu the autumn of that year the blow descended, and a rescues set in. Tee mode in which the alteration was brought about was very simple. Several of our principal toteign customers, and notably America, fell into trouble at home, paned through the several stages of panic, and, whilst pressing for the discharge of every maim due to them, suspended remittances for the many mil lions' worth of goods with which we had trusted them. Meanwhile, though not receiving what wee due to us, we were required to meet with punctuality our obligations to all the rest of the world io respect of raw material and other commodaies. The severe drain thus oeciseiooed soon reached its climax in a monetary crisis and panic ; and then, when we turned round and ecrutiutsed our position with a sodden rigour, all its weak poiora came out. The individual merchant who bad over traded was in precisely the same position as the nation which had osertradedr that is to say, be bad to meet all his own en gagement., and to wait with patience for what was due to him from the weak p eop l e whom, for the mere sake of doing business, he led treated. 'lns reerchait whose capital had lasi vanished, found that his accesomodatioe-paper, per vioesly accepted with little question, could not be converted at any price. The whole commercial fabric was siverely shaken ; the mercantile faileres which Ir had orananeaesd Britain, the C markets ; and limits. The asmedy was applied. The Yeatif speculative expanaise-1867—when the value of merry rose to 8 and 10 per cent., was Mowed by seed enatiow-1868.--aad the vales of money fell to n per cent. This was the natural consequence of the influx of the returns sad profits of the large consignments made abroad daring the former year. It will perhaps be urged that the difference, apparently fise-and-a-balf millions sterling, between the amount of the experts of 1867 and those of 1868, gams hardly selleisat to acconat for the striking difference in the condition of the money market. Bat is reality the demons in the exports was larger than it appears to be. Instead of five and-a-half millions, the amount of the difference becomes se veral millions larger If ere compare the twelvemonth ending Oct. 31, 1867, with that ending Oct. 31, 1868 ; for in the last two months of 1867 bacillus fell off greatly, whilst in the last two maths of 1868 it wee recovering. Moreover, of the 118,408,7661. of exports in 1868, a far larger proportion than usual was paid for in cash or at short credit; and an unexpected and welcome relief was afforded by the sudden meted of • demand for oar manufactures in the great Indian market. Whilst the exports to foreign countries and the colonies fell from 110,899,8 UL in 1867 to 99,826,370 i. I. 1868, the exports to British India, which was particularly anxious for the geode and eager to pay for them, rose from 11,666,7141. to 16,782,3801. Taking into entrant the additional feet that the weeding out of weak commercial houses had cleared the market of the very clam of paper the competition of which had driven up the rates of se mismodation to the prejudice of the legitimate baler, we shall have little difficulty in understanding uke very different aspect of the money market in 1868, es sompared with that presented in 1867. The hellions traneacted was altogether of • superior Made, more far cash and leas tor credit ; whilst the Mutton impressed upon the public mind caused foreign commitments generally to be restricted within a narrow compass. The contraction of trade has been followed by 111111111.114 expansion. The foot that the exports in ' 18110 Were fourteen millions larger than in 1868, sad eight millions larger than in the specu lative year 1867, suggests the inquiry—are we again extending our engagements too far ! The Minded effect suddenly produced in the money market during the last few weeks by the partial mospension of specie remittances from abroad lends riot to the question. The reports from the Indian meekest, may be watched with the more anxiety bosses the exports thither, which rose from 11.111116,7141. in 1867 to 16,782,3861. in 1868, have advanced is 1869 to 19,832,6991., showing an in erease of no less than 8,16.5,9851, within two years. Again : the receipt of news of a commercial crisis at Melbourne makes as scan closely the shipments to that port. We cud that to Victoria there were sent in 1869 goods valued at 6,467,8891.. being upwards of a million more than in 1868, and within 181,5971. of the amount shipped thither in 1867, when the Australian markets were glutted. There are, however, many reassuring indications.. The higher value of money this year is a natural consequence of the increased amount of business goiog forward, and does not prove that that business is unsound. The improvement in the general cha racter of trade noticed as the peculiarity of the year 1838, appears to be, to • great extent, main tained. The reign of long credits and " open" credits has not yet returned. All practical observers agree that trade is healthy. We may have over-supplied the Indian markets for the time, but we see no real ground for anxiety in that quarter, since there is • vast capacity of absorption in the interior. To Au. trail& there has been an excess of supplies during • prolonged period, as the market reports show, ship; en owning to forget that the colonists, though un- Idoubtedly able to pay for • very large amount of British goods per head, are still comparatively few l in number ; and that there is not, as in India, • large native population ready to absorb any surplus. Bat as the total shipments to all the Australian eolonies and New Zealand in 1859 are stated at 11,225,6161. morainic 10,483,0321. in 1858, and 11,632,5241. in 1867, the difference is not sufficiently large to invalidate the reassuring conclusions derived from a general review of the position of trade. Were the aspect of trade in the United States lees oonti dut than the journals and mercantile advises prove it to be, we should almost be disposed to look to that quarter as the one is which engagements are being multiplied too rapidly. TN exports to the United States in 1869 were no less than 22,174,2461. against 13,994,8161. is 1868, and 18,552,8671. in 1857. But in 'payment for those enormous supplies America has an unusually large crop of cotton, which she is now seeding os, and which we are at work upon for re exportation. It is not easy to see how America can acquit herself of her liability without sending us a good round sum in specie, in addition ; and this is a peiat in favour of our mosey market.

WARNING TO THE PRIESTS. The Yossiteor of to-day pabliehse a circular, ad. iressed by M. Itenland, the Minister for Public In &MOON to Iheatabbiehope and bithope of France, ioneeleigeg Ike customs, laws, and principles mai* slam a distant period, have established in Fromm the incontestable authority of the church over religions society in independence of state, which is the regulator of civil and political society. The minister recalls the conduct of the Emperor sines 1849, who has accorded to the church great confi dence and liberty, and has never made use of the prohibitions of our special laws in reference to it. The Emperor, however, will not permit that this liberty, which had been conceded in the interest of public welfare, become. an expedient for agitation. The minister reminds the bishops, &0., that the disagreement between the Emperor and the Papal dose not refer to religious but only to temporal questions. To excite civil discord would be a deplorable fault of the religious class. The minister acknowledges that the immense ma jority of the clergy have known how to escape such dangerous ground, but expresses his regret that some priests have abused the liberty of the pulpit to make offensive allusions and culpable provocations. Tee country condemns such outbursts of passion. The minister hopes that the bishops will bring back to the way of the Gospel and to their I daty the men who had departed from it. If the clergy owes veneration to the Pope, it owes respect and fidelity to the Emperor. Thus disorders com promising religion and prejudicial to public peace will be prevented. The Emperor will always be happy to protect the French clergy, but he ener getically wills that the laws be maintained and executed. Es has the firm hope that the bishops will fulfil their mission of order, peace, and con ciliation. The following circular ham been addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects of Depart rants : Paris, Feb. 17, 1860. M. le Prefect,—The Roman question has for some time pest given a pretest for attempt* at agitation to which it is neesimery to put en sod. Forgetful of what the Emperor hr does for the lest ten years for the Holy Father, we bear people talk of hostility and sp liattan. Regardless of the proioned peace the church erjoys to France, of the respect with which the government surrounds of the benevo brae and liberality with wbi•:h it is treated, people talk of peessentioe. Little pamphlets composed in this sense, with store eon less of ability, and in a popular for.., are by hun dreds el thousands gratuitously distributed is the temple', in wheels, la private bosses. Tin pulpit itself is made in metal. plans the mho of those calumnies and this emetement. Anions the promoters of these SIMI:O4MM tansy, doslitlem, are Wad, though sincere. The sprit of PAM. however, gives them armiliaries—aed these are not among the Meet ardent. The populations seem to be little moved by all this iffervemeace, which is in the eyes of sensible people more hurtful than usefal to religion ; and the government Mid hoped that it would outride in memos of its patience end its longanitaity. flood citizen. ask whether loriganimity, by being prclueged use lessly, might not become weakness, end whether it be really russet to allow sucitement to be say Mager spread among the fiathfui, me* betimes there islets a diplomatic question which most assuredly will not be resolved by these imprudent but fruitless attempts to lead the public astray.

PARTS, SUNDAY RYINING. Yon will have remarked in the Mositeur the im portant report of M. }twitter, containing, with mach detail, the government plans for carrying out the commercial treaty; and also the handsome com pliment to Mr. Gladstone which is placed at the head of a fall translation, in large type, of his great speech on the budget. It appears, both from the above report and from a recent letter of the Minister of Commerce, addressed to the Chamber of Com merce at Nancy, that the protectionists who so loudly clamoured for an inquiry at the beginning of the year are to be partially gratified. There is to be an inquiry, but it is only to bear upon the point as to how much less than the maximum protective 'duty of 30 per cent. mentioned in the treaty it may be expedient to fix for certain article*. This will 'no doubt be thought a solemn mockery by the more bigoted prohibitionists, who see nothing but visions of utter ruin even if the full amount of 30 per cent. protection were to be insisted upon in every case. The Memorial of Lille, however, pro ' fames to be much pleased with the minister's con cession, and says that all interests may now be re assured since the manufacturers will themselves have an opportunity of discussing, in the coarse of a "solemn inquiry," with what precautions and gra dations the new commercial system should be brought into practice. Vioe-Admiral Jacquinot, the maritime prefect of Toulon, has been sent for by telegraph to confer with the Emperor. When the Emperor was at Brescia, in the course ' of the last campaign, he expressed great admiration of an antique statue of Victory which he saw there. The municipality lately sent him a model of it, and the present wee acknowledged by the following letter from M. Fould Mace of the Louvre, Feb. 9, 1860. Gentltmen,—The Emperor very deeply feels the kindness of the municipality of Breeds in presenting him with model of their et•toe of Victory, which i/ justly regarded as a die drasiers of ancient sculpture. I have the honour to inform you that, by his Majesty. orders, this model, which hes retched Pais to the most perfect state of preservation, will be pieced in the moan= of the Louvre, and I am further desired to eey that his Majesty begs to present to the muni *silty of Brescia, ea a souvenir of his peerage through their town, two vases of the imperial manatee me of Sense, orna mented with portraits of the Emperor and Emmet. I have gives the neemeesry orders to ensure the receipt by you of them presents • itbout loos of time.—iteoeive, 100. The Minister of State sad of the Empentee heusehold, A. FooLD. The new Turkish Ambassador, Ahmet Effendi, who has been long expected, and whose departure from Constantinople was delayed in consequence of the serious state of affairs there, has at length arrived in Paris. He is accompanied by his son, his brother, and a private secretary named Hassim Murahim. H. de Levalette does not leave Paris till the beginning of next month. Last month M. Jules Viard, lately a redacteur of the Opinion Nationale, presented to M. Mocqnsrd, for the Emperor'e consideration, a scheme for facili tating communication in Paris by establishing several arterial lines of mou,ster railway omnibuses on the American principle. He proposes to call his new carriage a Wagon de Paris. It will be an elegant eight-wheeled vehicle, drawn by four bores., and will carry 200 passenger., 100 inside and 100 outside. The outside seats are to be pro tected from the weather by blinds in summer and slotted essesnents in winter. Fares:—First class, 9 wasp second class, l am The Emperor was so mach pleased with the project that he sent it for examination to the Council of State, by whom it has been referred to the Prefect of the Seine for a final decision. The medical men of Paris proposed to give a grand banquet in the Hotel des Louvre to Dr, Lee embank, the obscure country Esoulapius,who become famous the other day by his discovery of a large planet near the sun. Two bandied and twenty subscriptions were collected, the day was fixed, and the whole profession of Paris was in a state of ex • traordinery excitement about the demonstration, when, to the consternation of the dinner committee, a letter was received from the modest astronomer of Orgeres declining in the most positive terms to sc ulpt the profferred honour. A project is now on foot for presenting him with a magnificent tele scope, but care will be taken to ascertain beforehand that the gift, if offered, will not be refused. PARIS, SATVIDAY EVINDIre. M. About, in the first feuilleton, which he has written since his duels, discusses the question of the annexation of Savoy after the following fashion: Certain journalists tell us every morning that they see black clouds in the horizon, bat I suspect that these writes have not wiped their speotarlss. . . . Is it trite that Ring Victor Enimantui cannot * give us a poor and very barns department without Europe taking umbrage? Every body lowers that Savoy will add much to our expenditure and very little to our revenue. Her honest but poor inhabi tants require roads, railways, and a thousand other costly things, which Piedmont cannot give her without anew*/ emberressment, and which Frallee offers almost gratis. What do we gain ha exchange for our liberality? The satisfaction of recovering our physical frontier, end that of shutting a door white has hitherto never been either shut or open. The smallest proprietor has a right to a fence round his estate, end is the right of the French people to have a lot* sad key on their own house to be contested? I admit that the snnexatioa of Sevoy does odd somewhat to our Im ports», (mous erresetit as pew), but what neighbouring Wake has a right to complain al It? If Piedmont bad re mained within her old boundaries, we should no more have thought of asking for Savoy than she would have thought of offering it to us. Bat now, thanks to us, she has acquired all Conical hely ; the beoefite we have conferred upon her cell for some gratitude—her aggrandivment meltes it a duty for us to take some precautions against her. We shut our door. M. About, who, it must be remembered, wu a Keret agent of the French Emperor in Rome before anyone dreamt that the doctrines of that famous pamphlet stigmatised by the Pope as impudentissum would become official, afterhavingiu thisoffhand way established the incontestable right of Priam to ab sorb Savoy, proceeds as follows to indicate that the turn of the Rhine will soon ootue : An analogous change world occur if some yeses banes Prussia should eggraodiee her empire by the incorporation of the petty protestant states in her neighbourhood. We should moat sincerely hail awl a greet and salutary revolution, but we should not therefore be prevented from looking to oar own Mims's, and we should understand that Pruaeis, being ag grandised, had become a dangerous neighbour for us. We should shut our door, and we should:remind Surope that the Rhine was made to flow between us end Germany. This Is a geoerephiosi truth which we have not the right to forgot, but which we shall be discreet (sough to keep in the beck ground so long as Germany remains precisely in her present state. Notwithstanding the hypothetical form of the above passage, I dare say there are members of the English parliament who will be rash enoug h to think this doctrine of "physical frontiers ' and "geographical truths" rather alarming. I should not be even surprised if in the face of many recorded professions of peaceable intentions there were people who might go so far as to call it impudentiasum. The Bourse was better than it has been for some time. Great confidence was felt that a good under standing between the French and English govern ments would smooth eh European difficulties. Thin confidence was supported by a telegraphic analysis of an article in the Morning Post, which, however, as you will see by what I have previously written, is not construed so favourably by the evening papers. The Rsnte rose 10c. for cash, and 15c. for account, closing at 67.85 and 67.90. Mobilier rose 6f. The Orleans Railway roes 2.60; Northern, 3.76; and Western, Sf. The other lines were without any sensible change. M. Engine Venillot writes to the Opinion Rationale to contradict a report circulated by that journal that his brother Louis had received a ron leau of 1,000 Napoleons from the King of Naples.' The discomfited rank and file of the suppressed Univers have been permitted to found a new re ligions journal, which they have christened the Monde ; and the first number appears this morning. The Univers without the brothers Veuillot is like Hamlet with the part not only of Hamlet but of Horatio omitted; and notwithstanding the modesty of the title chosen, I doubt whether it sufficiently indicates the vast difference between the new organ of nitramontanisin and its predecessor ; the dispro portion, I am inclined to think, will be even greater than that between the World and the Universe. THE ~ MONITEUR" AND PAR. GLADSTONE. The Paris Moeiteur of yesterday publishes an extra sheet. M. }goober's report to the Emperor on the reforms in the tariff occupies four adenine, but the addi tional space is required tor an unabridged report of Mr. Glad. stases spit etch explanatory of the budget. This report, which is divided under appropriate headings, °maple, newly tensity column,. The speech is prefaced by the following observations . "At the moment in which the parliament is about to enter upon a discussion of the propositions of Mr. Gladstone. the Chancellor of the Ex:l/sutler, for the budget of the United Kingdom, propositions inclasivo of the treaty of commerce between France and England, It is not • super• 001111 task t, put before the public the speech delivered by )(r. Gladstone, some few days ago, in support of these propositions and of the treaty. This speech at present to only known in France by a condensed summary gmen by the joarnals. It deserves, however, to be read and pondered over satire. Throughout his brilliant oratorical career, Mr. Gladet3ne has never been better inspired. Everyone will be struck by the broadness of view in which he naderatands, and wishes to put into pow ' rice, the principle of free trade which Zeeland had adopted se one of the foundations of her inter nal and external policy. In the presence of a considerable &dolt, Mr. Gladstone has not hesitated to propose new re. duodena of duties so as to facilitate and excite the national Industry, although this course necessitates the imposition of other taxes, especially the tax apex income. The bolding@ of the financier Is n it leas remarable than the el guanes of the parliamentary orator." Then follows the rep Jrt of the speech. A few days ego ?desert.. Master° and Peuso, who are money-chaogera at Venice, were taking a strong bog containing about 10,0031. in hard cash, government stock, &a, from their hottest of business near the Polite de Brawled to the island Qiedecca. When in the middle of the anal Della Oiudecoa a long and very narrow boat rowed by six men ran against the gutdols, and with such violence that the gondoliers win thrown Into the water. In lb* twinkling of an eye four ma jumped from the long-boat, which 21 Venice i. called vipers, into the gondola ; end, laying violent hands on the strong-box, carried it oti. As goon as the booty had been deposited in the vipers, she shot wrens the canal, and pawing under the bridge dells Fees was soon lost to sight, although the sun had not set. On the 9th init., the groog-box, with the whole of its valuable contents, except B,oooe. Austrian currency, was found an the beach of the Nand BUT4IIO. The police at Venice is so exclusively occupied with political matters that the daring robbers Sr. by no means likely to be disolvered. M.
