This morning the Board of Trade returns for the

Including the " unenumerated. articles "the aggre-
gate exports stand thus:
For the month. For the two mouths.

The following is appended to this manta's return:—" An
amount of the real value of the principal articles imported
having been much desired, arrangements have been made to
add such an account to the usual monthly acocants of trade
and navigation, Bat it is not practicable to publish simul-
taneously the value and quantities of the imports for the
wee month, as the Custom-house cannot compute the value
of the articles, according to the different qualities, origin,
se lee forth in the current market prices, but must wait to be
furnished with an average price for each article imported
from the /*vend countries. The amount of the monthly
value of imports will. therefore be necessarily deferred until
the month following the publication of the quantities WM.

REMITTANCES OF GOLD FROM RUSSIA.
In the following somewhat remarkable letter, ad-
dressed to the Independence Beige, Baron Stieglits,
the Russian court banker, attempts an explanation
of the coarse recently panned by the Russian go-
vernment in exceptionally permitting his house to
remit gold abroad, at a time when other firma were
virtually prohibited to do so. By artificial measures
of this kind, as the Baron admits, the government
hoped to prop up the exchange, gnd he even alleges
that the effort was successful, in flee of the existing
enormous depreciation. If the Baron's remarks Sr.
to be regarded as emanating from the Russian go-
vernment, the government itself is convicted of igno-
ranee of the first principles which regulate the com-
mercial transactions of nations. It will be observed
that no explanation whatever is attempted of the
impediments systematically thrown in the way of
persons desirous of collecting gold in Russia and re-
mitting it abroad. The Bank has virtually ceased to
cash its notes in specie, only very small sums being
obtainable by awl applicant. This is another point
to which Baron Stieglite judiciously avoide
alluding :

(To the Editor In Chief of the Journal L'lndepemialsoc)
I have not considered it neousary, up to the present tines,
to animadvert upon the errors that several journals have pro-
molested respecting the monetary aides of Rase* and espe-
daily upon the exportation of specie by sty house for the ma-
ount of the government. But since these miainceceptfons
have found a plus in • journal standing eo high in reputa-
tion as yours, sir (Correrpondenoe from Hamburg, No. 57),
I will not let them peso without addressing to you some ex-
planations which will enable you better to spondees the
nature and the character of • transaction ccoCtiVel and
carried into operation with the sole view toppers' advantage,
end he devour of those persons themselves who complein so
bitterly of the depredation of our course of exchange.
In fiat, my house has not exported one single pleoe of gold
for its own aooount. It has laid down as • run neither to
sell nor purchase the 0 half imperials," but at theft legal
rate of 6 rumbles 15 copecks each se all those who are in
Walser connexion with it can artily. As repels the
large masses of gold that my bawls has been
to mud 'surely u well to lonise as to
Hamburg and Paris, they have only served to cover the
draft' Saud for account of the goverronent, in order to put •
stop to the progressives depredation of our exchanges. Theopera/lon, moreover, has be perfectly 11,00011111thil, and it
was imperative at • time when the crisis be foreign
countries demanded an incresee of remittances, whilst we
were deprived of our chief resources by the aeration of our
expert trade.
Happily these chleassienees an ameliorating from day to
day, sad nada, lees pressing the

and the itimulas that will thereby beien to our export
trade will speedily reader altogether superittess.
Finally, so favour whatever has bus conceded either to
my hoer, or to other bankers, in Si. Petersburg or Moscow.
IllaVe merely to consist:4mb myself en the hosier that
has been conferred upon my arm, which has hew called
upon to serve as the instrument Is an operation deceived by
the imperial government tar the soh purpose ef aiding mar-
, candle transactions In the addend the uNse of a crisis
which has borne haavil epee all the eachspga In Europe,
sad which Haan has Men enabled to est over
without ounelties of any tessoparreat
