RUSSIAN TRADE THROUGH PRUSSIA.

(MOM 001 OWN

HAMBURG, Jaw. 12.
Having now entered upon another year of contest
with Russia, it is high time that some measure
should be adopted to put a stop to the trade through
Prussia, as until that is done it will never be be
lieved in this quarter that England really intends to
carry on the war with vigour. The nature and ass-
tent of this overland trade have in many ways been
demonstrated of late, but nothing appears to tell the
tale so well and so distinctly as a comparative state
meat of the shipping trade of the Prussian port of
Memel daring the last four years, the vessels arriving
there in each of those years being as follows :
1862
1863
1864
„ 1866
showing a difference between the two years of pees
and the two years of war of nearly double the
amount of trade to that one port alone of Pam*
which there can be no doubt could only arise from
the requirements of its Russian neighbourhood ; sod
if any one should be incredulous on this point, the
nature of the exports would give ample proof to
establish the question. Without inquiring what
portion of the 570 ships whose cargoes consisted of
flax, hemp, and tow, was the produce of Russia, as
to *certain extent these article* have hitherto formed
occasionally a part of the exports from Memel, then
is no occasion to ask from whence the 98 ships
laden with tallow obtained their cargoes, as that
article has before been shipped from that pat
Remarks of a similar nature would equally apply to
the trade of Palau, Konigsberg, and Dantmic, with
the specialty as to the last that it is expressly stated
that their exports of tallow and other articles of floe
elan produce have originated in the blockade of the
Black Sea, as the goods previously exported from
Odessa now received another direction in the interior,
and, being forwarded by river craft down the Vistula,
were now sent into the markets of Europe through
a northern instead of a southern outlet,

These feet■ should be prominently brought fm•
ward before the meeting of parliament, and it will
be well if the House of Lords will not again allot,
themselves to be misled by the fallacies of Ltd
' Stanley of Alderley, as they were last year, ellen
the subject was introduced by Lord Albemarle ; sed
it will be equally desirable that the Home of Com•
moos should take a more practical view of the gam
tion than that which at the same time they veil
induced to adopt from the theoretical dicta of Mr.
Cardwell.
