IMPORTS OF DRY GooDs.-The imports of foreign
dry goods at New York for the five weeks ending
March Goth, but little than half as large as
for the same period of last year. and not half as large
as for the corresponding period of the year before
last. This falling off is most marked in wooIens and
cottons, but Is also shown in silks and linens proving
that there has been general decline in the receipts
OF nearly all descriptions of foreign fabrics. The
total entered at the port for five weeks amounts to
but S4028 $50 which is So $40 Col less than for the
same time IN 1854 and $4956,751 less than for the
same time in 1853. 1t is less by 1857 258 than
for the corresponding period of 1852 year in which
the total dry goods landed at the port amounted TO
only slxy-one millions of dollars This decline, the
Journal OF Commerce says, is more rapid than was
expected, and has done much to give stability to our
markets during the month The total receipts of for
egn dry goods at New York since January 1st, a.
mount to SIG 1885, u.s. which is 81 725 905 less than
for the same period Of 1853. The receipts entered
directly for consumption show falling off greater
han this, but the WarehOusing business has largely
increased. The Journal further remarks -
We learn that some of our importers making
preparations for large increase of business the COM
ing with the expectation that peace will give
a fresh impetus to trade and enlarge the consump-
ton throughout the country. This hope may not
prove deluslve but it seems to TO have too
a basis Tor the interests at stake and cannot
think that any prudent merchant will venture his
capital where must be so uncertain. We are
not sure OF peace but if were it does not follow
that this country will be in condition to purchase
so largely of foreign goods at prices which will pay
proht to the importer
WHAT Is A H1NDoo New York is famous for
names to political parties The Wings are classified
as g Silver Greys" and "Wolly Heads" the Demo-
Gratis g Hards" and q Softs," and the K. Ms as
" Hindoos." The following explains the reason:
The Thugs of Hindostan association who
believe it is their duty extermnate all who do not
belong to their order. They meet in secret lodges
and are sworn with solemn oaths. They lie in wait
foi unsuspectlng passers-by, and attacking them
suddenly, and without warning, strange them. The
higher the position and character of the victim the
greater is supposed to be the merit of the act The
mug who stranges the largest number of victims in
the course of year is rewarded with the title OF
Grand Thug OF the Council and invested with despotic
power. If any Thug refuses to yield unquestioning
power 10 the commands of the Grand Thug they
make an image or effgy of him. which they burn
al Inc same time Stonng and cursing it. This is
supposed to visit him with all of misfortunes
After this any Thug who meets him is bound to stab
HIM to the heart provided he can do so without risk
OF detection Every member of the order is sworn to
deny his connection with it, and when nterrogaed to
say he knows nothing about it. When unprecedented
and brought to justice, they claim to be persons Of
the greatest morality and virtue, and justify theil
acts by saying that they only wish to establish the
true religion, (viz: their own, and prevent foreign
ers, (vlz all who not Thugs,) from getting con-
troll of the country.
AHo POlHI5 VI IeSelhDldllCe between bne mugs Of
Hindostan and the Known othings of this country
are, it will be seen, many and striking with prefer
ence, on the score of merit and fair dealing, slightly
IN favor of the Thugs-Maine Age.
FROM THE CITY OF Sw1NE-A person writes
from Cincinnati about hogs:-" The only way to see
the city, is to wait until military company turn:
out, and then get between their ranks. They always
carry their muskes at low trail to clear the streets
of porkers.'
The Cars dying request of the King of Prussia tc
'remain attached TO Russia, he has hitherto been
and not to forget his fathers words" probably
referred to the following passage in the will of FRED
ERICK WILLIAM III, address 10 the present monarch
g Never neglect to maintain harmony among the
European nations as far as it is in your power A
bove all things, may Prussia Russia and Austria
separate Their union should be considered the key
stone of the great European alliance"
