It will be seen that the exports exceed the im-
ports $52,149. The imports in American vessels

exports in American vessels exceed the exports in
British vessels, $75,546.
Since the large amount of bills which fell due on
Saturday has ben met with unusual promptitude,
naturally more ease has been felt. At the same
time it is not considered probable that money will
be much cheaper until after the turn of the new
year. The " 4th" of January, probably, will be
a very heavy day, and then again the payment of
the Consol and other dividends will prove an
alleviation of any tightness that might arise.
Our commercial transactions are so extensive
that the capital embarked is necessarily extremely
large. On the other hand, also, the payments for
grain absorb considerable amounts, and the banks
will have to act upon a cautious policy, inasmuch
as there is an apprehension still of foreign loans.
The French Government no doubt intends to
come forward, and we believe that at Amsterdam
the Russian agents willalso soon attempt to borrow
four or five millions sterling.
The Executor and Trustee Company has been
formed with the object of supplying a want greatly
felt ; and from the many influential and practical
parties connected with it, especially legal men, it
is highly desirable that the public should give the
requisite support. The large amounts lost by pri-
vate breaches of trust, the difficulties arising from
the death of executors, and the repugnance of
wealthy business men to undertake such responsible
appointments, are all in favour of a well-constituted
society.
At the special meeting of the British North
American Bank, Mr. Le Breton was elected a
director, in the room of the late Mr. James Dowie.

The Circular to Bankers states the debt of
Russia at sixty millions sterling, but seems to
coincide in the view we took a few days since as to
the practicability of getting what is required in
the shape of a new loan, by the medium of its
agents at Amsterdam. The editor of the circular
also conceives that the Bank of England must ex-
pect to part with more of its bullion The arri-
vals this week are considerable, and there are
200,000 dollars for England on board the steamer
just arrived from New York en route for Havre.

THE HULL STEAM-SHIP MARSHALL—NO doubts
whatever are now entertained as to the fate of the Mar-
shall. A number of fishing-boats which have arrived at
Grimsby report having seen the mastheads of the Mar-
shall above low water mark near Kiln Sea, about five
miles from the Newsand Float, and as near as can be
guessed in very close proximity to the place where the
collision with the Wood-house occurred. On Saturday
a number of ;scientific men went in the Duncannon
steam-boat, and they were (weather permitting) on
Monday to survey the scene of the wreck, with a view
to its being weighed, if possible.
ACCIDENT ON HOLBORN-HlLL.—Yesterday morning,
shortly before twelve o'clock, an accident occurred which
ills feared will prove fatal to a gentleman named Mr.
John Grant, apparently between sixty and seventy years
of age, and residing near St. James's Church, Clerken-
well-green. It appears that Mr. Grant was about to
cross the road opposite Ely-place, and after he had
stepped from the kerb-stone into the roadway he turned
round to speak to a lady with whom he had just parted.
At that moment a Hansom's cab was coming at a slow
pace towards St. Andrew's Church, and the unfortunate
gentleman, turning suddenly round, came in contact
with the horse. He was knocked down, and the horse's
hind feet several times struck him on the head. He
was picked up bleeding profusely and almost insensible,
and was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where
every attention was paid to him, but he still lies in a
very precarious condition.

THE RUSSIANS AT PORTSMOUTH AND THE
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 6.

The writ, we hear, has been submitted to and placed
in the hands of the Board of Admiralty, who will, as a
matter of course, consult the Crown law officers as to
future proceedings.

Some Polish officers have been in this port for some
days past picking up foreigners, measuring them, and
providing them with tickets and money., We understand
a great number have been got together, and will proceed
to Constantinople via Southampton, in one of the Penin-
sular and Oriental steam packets.
The writ in question upon the Russian officer in com-
mand of the Aurora may be in some way connected with
this demonstration.

The Russian corvette, Navarin, 22, had all the fore
part of her copper stripped off to-day, and commenced
caulking. How she kept afloat is a mystery ; her old
caulking came out in rags with the copper from the
seams like rotten paper ; and as to the caulking irons,
they went clean in to the head at the first blow to the
astonishment of our caulkers, who imagined they should
find their irons inside the vessel. We will vouch for it
that four times the quantity of oakum will be required
over and above that of our own ships, and if these ves-
sels now in our dockyard are specimens of the general
condition of the Russian fleet,- they will be annihilated
at the first broadside from either French or English line-
of-battle-ships.
