Imports and Exports of the U. States.

The valuable table prepared by the Depart
ment at Washington, giving the imports and
exports of the Union for the last quarter of the
fiscal year 1855 as the first of series of similar
publications, has attracted attention, and prom
ises TO be very useful 1t appears that the spe-
Gle exported for the quarter has been $40 632 2e4
of which SO, 1865 was from the port of New
York, and the balance probably mostly by the
Boston steamers, going indirectly from New
York. This large amount of specie involves an
Cess Of exports over imports for the quarter Of
$3.50. 75l4and with freights, earnings, profits
on producer immigrant savings, &c, should in
dictate az least no balance due abroad, and that
the contin1ed shipment of specie is caused not
by payments of debts by means of the metals,
but by demand for gold, arising out of special
circumstances, such as those which we have
before considered as the consequences Of the
war loans. As the quarterly reports multiply,
they, together with the course of exchanges,
will form a most useful indication of the cur
rent Of commercial payments. Last year at this
time the war began TO influence specie pay
ments, and the amounts sent at lower rates OF
exchange were larger than now is the case. The
customs duties for the quarter ending June 50,
1853, were SIS, 500 000-a sum which wO uld
indicate an importation of dutable goods equal
to S63, 564 900, or SIT, 600 more than given
in the present report. This general statement
of the trade has sufficed to keep the country
confident that no great foreign drain Of specie
would take place; since, If debts are not due,
the money can be obtained only for commodities.
Iu the unfortunate state of our exchanges, how
ever, which remain sort Of monopoly IN the
hands of a few banking houses of great credit,
that credit may be used to carry large sums OUT
of the country.-Chieogo Democrat.

A New Hindoo Conspiracy Exposed

RITUAL OF THE TENPLARs.-In the Spring OF
1854, young man of limited education and an
equally limited amount of brains, determined to
render himself famous by founding a secret so
eiety, which he hoped would eventually rival
the Masons in the extent and influence of its
ramihcatiOns. The name of this youth was Will
liam Patten. He was a member cf the Know
Nothing organization, which he entered in pur-
suit of the marvellous. Having read Morgan
expose, and thus becoming enamored of that
mystery which at first characterized the HindOo
Councils, he aspired to become the leader of a
party which should control all other Societies
and act as "wheel within wheel" when 1t
gained sufficient strength and Importance. The
/ first meeting of this incipient organization was
in stable. By the joint exertiOns of its half
dozen members, they were enabled TO hire Con-
vention Hall, in Wooster street, for their second
gathering. OF this Temple, as it was termed,
Mr. Pattel was President. and young man
named Haines, relative of the late candidate
for the Mayoralty Mr. Herrick Vice President
A son of Mr.. Glentworth acted as Instructor
and few other individuals comprised at once
the officers and audience. The form of initia'
ton was very similar to, though infinitely more
ridiculous than the Know Nothing ritual. II
was also much more bitter and ultra in its pro
scriptive character.
4 At the end of six months the society had as
sumed importance from its numerical strength
On the 18th of May, 1855, there were fifty-nin'
Temples in the Counties Of New-York ant
: Kings These were swelled daily by the dis
contented members Of the Hindoo Lodges, ant

ten having immortalized himself in the manne
he desired, left for California, leaving his fra
