EXPORTS OF SPEcIE.-The steamer Trent, from

arrived the Sd inst at Kingston jamaica, on her
way to England. She had two millions of dollars
in specie This is one of the channels by which
our payments go out to Europe. American enter
prise sends part Of the money. Much of it goes
from California, in payment for the goods received
from abroad, and it is by such shipments of gold
that we are enabled to make those large importa-
tons to our Atlantic ports, without having a ba-
lance against us. There are other reasons operat-
ing to keep the course of exchange at the specie
paying points; nothing but the gold of California
can keep us from having large demands made upon
u.s. Should the gold mines suddenly prove wholly
exhausted, we should be in beautiful dilemma.
AS it is, we can send out millions of gold for our
people hate the stuff in circulation, and we are
glad to get rid of it. They want the basis of mo-

Without attempting to enter into The much vexed
topic of Protecting American Industry, it may be
permitLed to call attention to the demoralizing
tendency Of this provision of the law. The recent
change in the British revenue laws and their ap-
proach to Free Trade, certainly modifies the ques.
ZION of Protection in this country. But surely this
valuation clause ought to be stricken out, mol
merely as mistake in political science, but as in
furious to the morals of the country.
