CLOCK on Wednesday, she was met by the |
steam boat Potomac, Capt. Middleton, with
large company on her decks, proceeding on
AN excursion down the river. On board the !
steamboat were several of the Heads of De- /!

COMMERCE, REVENGE, MANUFACTURES
we learn that the commerce and revenue
| ofthe United States are visibly improving. As
proof of this statement, we have been in
formed that the revenue bonds taken in the
present quarter at the custom house in New
ork, amount to upwards of Il hall million of
dollars more than those taken in the same port
during the corresponding quarter of last year
Though the Improvement may not have been
proportionably great III every other seaport
II has In the aggregate been considerable
While this IS the fact with regard to our com
merce and revenue, it is manifest to the close
observer, that our manufacturing establish
ments, especially in The eastern states, are also
gradually becoming more profitable We of
ten meet with paragraphs in the newspapers
tending to produce this impression, which re-
celves confirmation in the verbal intelligence |
derived from persons attentive Ia the subject |
These statements, if correct, and we believe
they are, establish the position, il it needed |
any new demonstration, that the prosperity of
loreign commerce and that of domestic ma
nuiactures are not incompatible and the inn |
provemant which is natural and gradua! in
these interests certainly promises TO be the
most substantial and permanently valuable TO |
nation. FrauhL,, Cn-eHe |
