land.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF RIISSIA.—The Russian go-
vernment has just published the official account of the
foreign commerce of the country for 1851. During that
year there was exported by the European frontiers
of the Empire, and by the frontiers of Poland
and of Asia, and by Finland, merchandise to the
amount of 389,577,828 f. The amount in 1850 was
384,546,288 f, The increase in the value of the imports
has been more considerable ; in 1850 it was 370,549,776 f.
and iR 1851, 414,940,443 f. In 1851 the imports exceeded
the exports by 25 millions, while in 1850, the latter exceed-
ed the former by 16 millions. The falling off in the ex-
ports in 1851 was principally on raw hides, linseed,
rapeseed, copper, wool, tallow, and bristles. The ex-
ports of corn in 1851 was, however, larger than in 1850,
but principally in rye and oats ; in wheat there was a
diminution, owing to the abundant harvests in France
and England. The reduction to the export of tallow,
for which England is the principal market, is attributed
to the large quantity received in that country from
America and Australia. The increase in the imports
has been principally in copper, raw cotton, dye stuffs,
cottons, silk and linen manufactured goods, machines,
models, and tools ; an augmentation which shows the
increasing prosperity of Russian industry and manufac-
tures, for which an immense home sale is found among
a people whose condition is every day improving.
