EXPORTS FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM

IN 1852.

A return has just been issued by the Board of
Trade of the declared values of British and Irish
produce and manufactures exported from the
United Kingdom in the year 1852, specifying the
amount to each country and colony. From this
document the following list has been compiled,
showing the order in which the various communi-
ties of the world rank as our customers. Our own
possessions, in conjunction with the United States,
continue to take nearly one-half of the entire
total, although, as regards the former, the increase
during the twelve months has not been so great as
in the two preceding years. The amount is
20,082,3141., against 19,517,0391. in 1851, the im-
provement being rendered less than would other-
wise have been the case owing to an increase of
1,414,849/. to Australia having been counteracted
by a falling off of 748,343/. to Canada, and of
453,689/. to India. The advance in the United
States' total is from 1,1,362,976/. to 16,567,7371.,
showing
an improvement of 2,204,7611. The
shipments to California amounted to 433,340/.
Among the foreign countries our exports to which
have declined, Russia, as usual, occupies a place,
the total to that empire being now considerably
below that to Chili. Turkey, on the contrary,
shows an increase, the figures in her case being
2,349,4461. (more than twice the Russian total),
against 2,221,359/. in 1851. With regard to other
countries, those which exhibit the most prominent
improvement are Holland, France, Sardinia, Bel-
gium, Spain, the Republics of the River Plate,
Syria and Palestine, Morocco, and New Granada.
Germany, Portugal, and Denmark are also on the
favourable side. Those which present an adverse
result include all the reactionary States of Italy
(Naples, Tuscany, Lombardy, and the Papal terri-
tories). The Indian Seas, China, the foreign West
Indies, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico,
Chili, Central America, and the South Sea Islands
also show a diminution, while Bolivia has alto-
gether disappeared from the list. Our aggregate
exports to all parts of the world for 1850, 1851,
and 1852 have been 71,367,8851., 74,448,7221.,
and 78,076,854/.

In giving the above statements it is proper to
notice that the Board of Trade tables to which
they relate have been issued this year considerably
before the usual time, and indicate, therefore, in-
creased dispatch in that department. Much of the
value of documents of this nature depends upon
the promptitude with which they are furnished.

STORM AT YARMOUTH.—The jetty presented an ex-
traordinary and thrilling spectacle last Thursday, the Bth
:138t., about one o'clock. The sea raged frantically, and
ship's boat, endeavouring to land for water, was up-
set, and the men were engulphed in a wave some thirty
feet high, and struggling with it in vain. The moment
Vas an awful one, when George Borrow, the well-known
author of Lavengro," and the " Bible in Spain "
dashed into the surf and saved one life, and through his
have
the others were saved. We ourselves
llave known this brave and gifted man for years, and
daring as was this deed we have known him more than
"oe to risk his life for others. We are happy to add
that he has sustained no material injury.—Bury Post.

,„_,"R CHILDREN POISONED AT LIVERPOOL.—A serious
aUlatal case of poisoning by eating plants took place
nn Friday last at Liverpool. On that morning a boy,
,eed Thomas Guest, seven years old, with his sister, a
You
etreoger child, residing with their parents
.in Audley-
oh. et, London-road, and accompanied by two other
h Ildren, named Evans, went into the fields in the neigh-
('llrhood of Green-lane to gather blackberries. On
their return one of them fell down as if in a fit, and be-
caniQ black in the face. In a few moments afterwards
h-e°ther of the boys, named Evans, also fell down, and
se, to

bin—led to be unripe blackberries. Guest began to vomit
