TRADE WITH NORTH AMERICA.

As our commercial relations with the late United
States are just now a matter of considerable inte-
rest, it may be worth while to note the advance and
fluctuations of our trade with Brother Jonathan
since 1845, This is done in the subjoined table
of the declared real value of British and Irish pro-
duce exported from the United Kingdom to the
,:1118-3,40. YlBesa4r. '''''

1852 ........ 16,567,737 1860
These figures show an annual average of £11,583,269
in the first eight years, and £20,243,611 in the
second, being an increase of rather more than 75
per cent. The returns, however, exhibit an unusual
degree of fluctuation, such as might be expected to
result from the feverish tendencies of Yankee com-
merce. Our transactions with our own possessions
in North America are of a more quiet character,
and show a less rapid rate of progress. This will
be seen by the annexed statement of our exports to
British America since 1845 :

The annual average in the first period was
£3,059,669, and in the second £4,088,477, present-
ing an increase of about 33 per cent. This result
may possibly excite some surprise, but on the
whole it is not astonishing, considering the more
rapid growth of population in the States, which re-
ceived in the 16
,years 2,408,935 emigrants from the
United Kingdom, while the North American colo-
nies only obtained in the same time 525,600. Pos-
sibly the events now transpiring in the States may
put a very different complexion on their future
career—at any rate, for the next 10 or 20 years.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA:]

Aa official paper from Calcutta gives a striking
account of the result of the Ganges Canal in pre-
venting famine. The Superintendent-General of
Irrigation states that the beneficial operation of the
cana. during the past season cannot be over-esti-
mated. In some districts the land was ploughed
with the aid of water taken from the canal, the
seed was sown with the same aid, and would not
have germinated without it, and the produce was
as full and fine as it could have been in the
most prosperous season. " Had there been no
canal, there would have been no crop on broad
lands which are now covered with wheat and other
cereals in large abundance." According to a rough
calculation, 339,243,8401 b. of grain have thus been
supplied to the market during the recent calamitous
season, and as each pound is an ample quantity for
one man daily, or perhaps one woman and one
child daily, this would be equal to the maintenance
464,718 men, 464,718 women, and 464,718 children
for a whole year, while it will also have produced
fodder sufficient to keep from starvation the cattle
of the districts through which the canal has passed,
and has probably saved the Government from
making remissions of land revenue to the amount
of £lBO,OOO or £200,000. It is further remarked :

" But, besides these beneficial results of the Ganges
Canal, the means afforded to the community of transport-
ing grain from the Lower Provinces has been very much
acknowledged and taken advantage of. The boats plying
the canal at the commencement of the year have been
doubled within the last 6 months ; new boats are being built
daily, and such are the profits that, though prices have
risen much, the value of the boat is in a very short time
recovered. The Ganges Canal Navigation Company are
about to call a meeting for the purpose of building 100 new
boats, and though this great demand for water carriage
may not be permanent, yet the great stride which naviga-
tion, as also irrigation, has made this year must to a great
degree be lasting."

ODE TO 2HE NOR2II AND SOUTH.

(From Punch.)
0 Jonathan and Jefferson,
Come listen to my song ;
I can't decide my word upon
Which of you is most wrong.
I do declare I am afraid

To say which worse behaves,
The North imposing bonds on Trade,

Or South, that Man enslaves.

And here you are about to fight,
And wage intestine war,
Not either of you in the right ;
What simpletons you are
Too late your madness you will see,
And when your passion cools,
" Snakes !" you will bellow, " How could we
' Have been such 'tarnal fools ?"

One thing is certain ; that if you
Blow out each other's brains,
'Twill be apparent what a few
Each blockhead's skull contains.
You'll have nothing for your cost,
To show, when all is done.
Greatness and glory you'll have llst ;
And not a dollar won.

Oh, joined to us by blood, and by
The bond of kindred speech,
And further by the special tie
Of slang, bound each to each,
All-fired gonies, softhorn'd pair,
Each other will you lick ?
You everlastin' dolts, forbear I
Throw down your arms right slick.

You'll chaw each other up, you two,
Like those Kilkenny cats,
When they had better things to do,
Improvin' off the rats.
Now come, shake hands, together jog

Whip one another not; and flog
Creation, as before I

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
There was only a moderate supply of beasts on offer in
to•day's market, nevertheless, all breeds moved off heavily,
at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday, of
id. per 81bs. The top figure for the best Scots was 4s. Bd.
ter 81bs. Prime sheep were scarce, and in request at full
prises, otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish
;tate, on former terms. There was a fair sale for the best
Down lambs; but other breeds were somewhat heavy. We
have to report a dull inquiry for calves, at about Monday's
currency. In pigs, very little was doing, at late rates ;
but milch cows were firm in price.
