The above returns show some very curious. results
in the movements Of merchandise, &C., connected
with our foreign trade. The value Interpretations
in October this year shows falling of OF about five
and half million Of dollars. 1t will be seen that
the value of goods warehoused during the month OF
October, was upwards Of seven millions OF
dollars, and within one and q half million

and withdrawn from warehouse in the same time
The comparative importatons of specie show very
great change for the better, so far as we are con
cerned. In the expectation of specie the same fa-
vorable feature appears The difference in our favor

565 In October last year the excess Of specie ex
ports over imports was si,9Ol $751; while in the came
month this year the excess of specie imports ex
ports was s22ll ,934. This is independent of our
gold renttances from California.
The reported tonnage from the anthracite coal re.
gicls shows little more activity in the trade the
past week. The Schuylkll Canal exhibits an in
crease on the business Of corresponding week

Navigation shows falling of on corresponding week

At Pittsburg the late Board Of County Commits
sioners assessed tax OF eight mills on the dollar

purpose Of paying interest on railroad bonds. The
Post says duplicates were accordingly issued. and
the collectors required TO give bonds for their col

Commissioners, since the election. a resolution
was adopted by u requesting the collectors TO re-
fund four mills on the dollar Of all the taxes they
had already collected, and authorizing them in fu-
ture only TO collect half the amount Of the dupli
Gates. The collectors having given the required
bonds for the whole amount, and the Treasurer
having notified them that he would require them 10
pay II by the 9th Of December ne1 large number
of the collectors met at the Court House on wednes
day To consult together in regard to their duty in

authority was that the collectors demand an exon.

half Of the county tax, and that they be credited
the books OF the treasurer with said amount, and
that should the treasurer or commissioners refuse TO
do so then the collectors shall 30 on and collect the

U. S. STEAM FRIGArE eN1AaARA,"
Cow OF CoRK, IRELAND, Thursday July 80, ,57.
The several vessels of the Telegraphic
feet have assembled here; the cable is all
shipped; the preliminary Investigations
and experiments have all been made: to-
morrow we sail from Valentia Bay, and
on Monday next the European end of the
great Cable will be made fast to the Irish
shore. 1t has been decided, as you al
ready know, that the Niagara is to COM
mence laying down the cable from this
coast Westward, - that she will be accom-.
panied by allthe vessels Of the fleet, and
that upon reaching mid-ocean the .Aqa-
naemnon will stake up the wondrous tale .
join her cable to that Of the Niagara and
complete the connection by proceeding
to the coast of Newfoundland. This seems
to me tar better arrangement than the
one originally proposed, which their
route, join ends and then proceed in oppo-
site directions. laying out the cable to-.
wards either coast:-and am little sur.
prised to learn that the change was not
resolved upon without some considerable
difference of opinion in the Board of Di-
rectors. One end of the cable will now
be fast, so that in any contingency this
cannot be lost:-there will be much less
weight of cable to be sustained at any one
tlme:-al the vessels of the feet will now
be together to give each other aid in any
emergency:-the progress of the enter
prise can be reported from day to day to
the European station, and the whole will
go forward as one work, having all the
evident advantages of unity of purpose
and Of detail, instead of being substan-
TALLY two-as it would have been upon
the plan first proposed. The superiority
of the new plan over the old one in the
judgement of business men is shown by
the fact that the insurances have now been
effected upon portions at least of the cable
which it was found impossible to do be-
fore the change:--tbough the rate ever
now charged is taoenty per cent.
Of course all Of us who are in the worl
are sanguine of its success. But it is i'm
possible not to see that the same feeling
of confidence does not pervade the bust
nens community at large upon this side o
the water. The magnitude of tho under
