A return has recently been famed by the Board of
Trade of the declared values of British and Irish
dime and and manufactures exported from the United King-
doin during the past year. The amount taken by our
own possession, still constitutes nearly a third of the
general total, since, although the trade to India has
received • check, there has been a oontinuous progress
as regards Australia and British North America, our
shipments to Chao places being nearly doubled within
the past two years. Unhappily, the augmentation haa
for the moat part been based on the operations of wind.
hug arms, frittered by the provincial bank, lately broken
down, and the fact, otherwise inexplicable, of Australia,
with its population of • few hundred thousand, absorb-
ing our goods to an almost exactly equal amount with
the whole Indian empire is thus accounted for. Ai re-
gards our continental intercourse Prance remains nearly
stationary; but Sardinia maintains • great improvement.
