The official tables for the }ear 1839 show the'export; o;
the empire to have been 341,898 679 rub. bane., being an
excess over 1838 of 23.372,992 rubles. The imports
amounted to 249,152,476, leaving a difference of
92 746,203 rublos. The importation of gold and silver in
coin and bullion amounted to 65,752,741 rubles.

The principal exports were :—Grain c,f ail kinds,
88,259 59G (4,40(,1.0001.) ; Winp, 3,571,768 ponds
Flax, 2.234,326 ditto ; Tallow, 3,994,296 ditto ; Iron.
1,073,908 ditto; Leather, 8,715,882 rubles.

Tha principal imports were—Raw cotton and twist,
.800 649 ponds; raw sugar, 1,594,207 ponds ; dye stuff',
sralun 20,947,380 rubles (1,000,0001. sterling); wine,
20,288 829 rubles; silk, cotton, linen, and woollen stuffs,
38,708,377 rubles.

The excess of exports ever the imports raised the ex-
change so high that the ruble banco, which usually rates
at about 191. sterling, rose to Is.

To judge from the small quantity of cotton imported for
the consumption of 60,000,000 of inhabitants, the con-
sumption of that article of manufacture cannot be great.
And yet the tariff is adapted to protect the home manu-
factures of cottop, as well as other stuff, which the Go-
vernment always represents as being in a most flourishing
crmdition. This year (18-10) the manufacturing districts,
which are supplied with agricultural produce from the
fertile tracts along the Wag*, have greatly suffered from
the failure of the crops. Large quantities of grain have
in cot:sequence been imported into St 13.qersburgh, which,
with the cessation of the demand from England, will turn
titescale seriously in the present year.

The Commenial Gazette of St. Petcrsburgli gives the

The ancient palace of the Czars at MOSCOW, the Krem-
lin, is riming magnificently from the ruin into which it fell
during the fire of Moscow on the French invasion. The
plan will unite grandeur and comfort with the prculiaritics
of the barbarous Tartaric style. The building will be
lheated in winter on the Russian plan, by one hug e stove,
constructed in the basement story, from which 250 tubes
rs.ouvey the hot air to all points of the edifice. For the use
of the Heir Apparent and his young Consort, a second
Palace is to be erected at Moscow, near the Kremlin.

Thu discontent in R.,l,nd and Little Russia is repre-
sent .d by private correspondents as very gre4. In the

and hat, ne doubts some connection with the forced intro-
duction of the Greek orthodox cresd in.. to e. pro

and the peasants have for c;!il:urin professed the united
Greek creed.

REPRESENTATION OF MONNIOUTIISIIIRE.-
There is every reason to believe that there will be no
contest for this county at the next election. Mr. flanhury
Tracy, the nephew of the Lord Lieutenant, has accepted
tbe invitation of the electors to come forward as a candi-
date in the Liberal interest, and Mr. Tracy is so highly
respected in the county that any opposition to bin would
ie ompletely futile. The requisition to Mr. Tracy was
gned by most of the leading gentry of the county, among
liom are Sir Digby Maekworth. Bart., Colonel Lewis, of
/St. Pierre, and otLer moderate Conscrvatives. Mr. Tracy
bee replied to the requisition, and expresses his readiness
to accede to the wishes of the requiaitionists whenever the
present u ber, Mr. Williams, shall relinquish his scat,
y 1.441 r" aoard on their int( rest as a candidate for the
