From Burn's Monthly Colonial Circular we are enabled
to compare the quantities of goods and yarns exported to
India in the month of September, of the present year,
compared with the corresK,nding month of 1850. Ac.
cording to this lit it appears that the exports to Calcutta
in September, this year, were 12,030.634 yards of calico.
and 689,0551b5. of yarn. against 5.078,299 of calico, and
691,5001hs of yarn in September, 1850; and the exports
to Bombay, in September. this year, were 18,014.602
yards of calico, and 527.0401h5. of yarns, against 4,250,260
ards of calico, and 257,3001b5. of yarn in September,
