THE ►tohhnrn facts of the Board of Trade tables,
just pu:,li•htd fur June, continue to rt fute the thtory
of the Protectionists, and make the ndvautager of
FrecTrade more palpuble than ever. Imports, exports,
production, aid consumption, all continue to increase.
So otters has this tale now hien repented, that we are
afraid our readers will grow tiro: of it, but as it im-
plies praise of what belongs to them, and is a memo-
rial of thcirgreatness and success, we must once more
go over the story. We have now, too, got the
rr cards of half the year, and may infer from the facts
of the past s'.x months the prospects for the next six,

'lle increase in the exports of the month of June,
15.13, as compared to the same month of 1832 and
Isal, was respectively 1,003,6=, and 31.1,6111., the
figures being as follows :

In the month the exports of the following articles
have aeclineil:

Wool 81,490 30,224
Small woollen mauufactures
With these exceptions the exports hale all increased
in the month, and the chief cause of the decrease in
most of these articles has been a rise of price, which
has made it less desirable to export them. The de-
mand for them particularly has been greater in the
home market than abroad, and hence the exportation
ot them has become less advantageous and has de-
clined.

The increase of our exports in the six months as
compared to 1832 was 8,317,1831., and as compared
to 1831, 7,772,704/. The total declared value of
the exports for the six months of the three years is
as follows :

1351. 1352. 19.53.
£31,093,353 .... £33,549,392 .... £41,54,6,.;57

But these tables embrace only the principal articles
exported, and the tables for the whole year after it
is closed will be increased by the addition of the
smaller articles, which are included in the accounts
of all the years gone by. Remembering this, and
assuming that the exports for the second six months
will be only equal to those of the first,
though the exports for the latter half of
18,12 exceeded those of the first half by 4,340,7641.,
we shall have as the declared value of the exports of
our principal articles in the whole year 1863, in
order to compare it with the declared value of all the
articles exported in former years, a total sum of
83,733,1141. Now, the declared value of the export.
la 1843 and in 1833, and the comparison between it
and them, is as follows:

From which we learn the very important fact that
the ratio of increase was twice u great between 1843
and 1833 as between 1833 and 1843. The trade of
the country only required that freedom which it
began to receive in 1842 to increase with an accele-
rating velocity, carrying with it the whole business
and prosperity of the country, which increased in
like proportion. It is highly satisfactory to re-
mark, in perfect contrast to the trade of the great
Northern despotism, to which we recently referred,
that the exports to the free republic of the United
States more than doubled in 20 years, and that
the total exports from that country in that period,
exclusive of bullion, which has latterly been ex-
ported to a large amount, also doubled. Our in-
creasing prosperity, therefore, may be said to be
assured because it is closely bound up with the pros-
perity of the States and with the other newly-
peopled and prosperous countries of the globe.
That every businessin the empire is equally pros-
perous is to be inferred from the total disappearance
of complaints; and the fact is apparent on the face
of these tables. An increase in the exports, with
very insignificant exceptions, is found in every
article. The largest decrease is in wool ; and as
the price of this product is now higher than
it was last year, as our imports have
'screamed very much, our exports have only
fallen off because the home market has improved in
relation to the markets abroad, and made it more ad-
vantageous to sell at home than export. In the six
months a great increase has taken place in all the
metals, of which a great decrease took place in the
month. In some articles, as thrown silk, which'
increased between 1851 and 1853 six-fold, and all
haberdashery and saddlery, which in the same period
doubled, the increase is more than in others; but
all, with the exceptions above mentioned, have
shared in the increase of the six months.

It is scarcely necessary to say that both in the
month and in the six months the imports have also
increased. The increase, too, has taken place in
almost all articles. Of all animals, except cows, and
swine—of all kinds of oorn except oats—of all kinds
of provisions, and of all the materials of our great
mannfacturea—the increase in the month is consider-
able. In coffee and in sugar there is an increase in
the month, but in cocoa and in tea there is a decline,
and there is a decline in sugar in the six months.
But in none of these, or in any important article', is
. there a decline in the oonanmption, except in dried
fruits—the consequence of a great failure in the crops
abroad—so that the stocks of some articles, the im-
portation being reduced and tho consumption con-
tinued, have been somewhat reduced. Thus the im-
port and consumption of cocoa, sugar, and tea hare
been in the six months as follows:

Imported. Charged with duty.
18.52. 18.53. 1862. 1863.
Cocoa, lbs. .. 4,160,706 8,717,603 1,776,18.5 2,127,296
Sager, cute.. 3679,816 3,421,991 3,375,516 3,615,932
lea, lbs. .... 42,903,136 38,004,701 27,741,834 30,407,398
With increased consumption there has been dimi-
nished importation. The comparatively low prices
of cocoa and sugar account sufficiently for the dimi-
nished importation of these articles, while the agi-
tation concerning the tea duties and the condi-
tion of China, account for the lessened importa-
tion of tea. But none of these causes have impeded
consumption.
