The consequence Is that The western nations are in

II will be satisfactory 70 our countrymen TO learn
from the last returns, that OF the 81 402 foreign
ships which visited the French ports III 504 or con
siderably more than one-half were English. Nor is
this accidental fact, for, for years. the
Der of English vessels has been steadily the in
crease. Thus, in 1858, among 2O,425 ships of
foreign origin which frequented the French ports,
10 4S2, more than onehalf were under the British
flag. These vessels were principally laden with iron,
cast iron, steel, coal, wool, woolIen goods, &c.
American vessels came next to our Own in number
and tonnage.
From questions of commerce we viii turn 10 q
subject, which, owing to the British and Tipperary
Bank swindles has been very much on the carpet OF
late-we mean the subject of extradition. From the
authentic returns published, we learn that the num-
Der of extradti0ns asked of France in 1853 60,
and 46 in 1864. or these 46-l6 were asked by
land. by England, by Holland, and by Austria.
OF l2l accused persons whose extradit0n was asked
granted, 36 were proceeded against for robbery,
20 for murder or poisoning, rs for fraudulent hank
ruptcy Fl for fraud or coming, and for different
other crimes.
We will now turn to the French army. The eff.
fective of the French army in 1854 amounted to
472734 officers, sous ofcers, corporals, brgadiers,
and soldiers In 1853 it amounted to 36l ,468.

France amounted to sos ,289 men.

The extension OF railroads in France during the
last three or four years has been wonderful At the
period Of the revolution of February, 1S4S, there
were only $500 kilometres of railroads in existence.
For three years afterwards the works remained sta
tionary; but such was the energy subsequently ap.
pied when tranquility was restored that ~ the 3lst
December, 1854, concessions were granted for 1885
kilometres. In the Of 1866 Lyons and Valence
were connected; the Normandy line was opened to
Caen, and the whole line between Bordeaux and
Bayonne opened. Besides this, many important sec
tons have been opened by the Compagnits du Nord,
de FEST, du Grand Central, and the Company Of
Lyons. In 1856 Marseiles and Paris were united by
rail, and on the LIST January Of the present year
ii 250 kilometres of rail had been conceded OF which
$500, or more than oneh half, were in operation.
These are certainly important facts for France and
for the world; and can only express our fervent
hope that the prolonged continuance of peace may
enable the Emperor and government of this great
and civilized people to improve and extend such
peaceful conquests.

Under any circumstances the condition OF our
nearest neighbors, the French, must be a matter Of
moment to England. Intimately allied as we are.
and have been now for several years. TO the great
advantage of both countres-indeed We may say,
60 the advantage OF the civilized world-t y the
nalist, to make himself acquainted with The COM
merce and general condition OF our allies. The tack
II 10 willing student by no means difficult. Almost
all the great public departments Ia Paris publish
large blue books, in which may I've found aiinra-
bly, arranged statistical tables, which by the aid Of
predatory remarks and annotations, are made clear
70 the understanding and perception OF that large
class OF the public who have distaste bordering on
disgust for everything Ike figures. From some Of
these tables We mean to jot down q few facts
as TO the foreign commerce and general condition OF
France, which are this moment OF considerable In
terest.
The foreign commerce OF France, "a our readers
are probably aware was somewhat affected in the
years 1853 and 155i by the and the indifferent
harvests- But no sooner was there a prepect Of
peace than the returns of 1855 exhibited "a increase
of 5cg,ooo,0oofr In 1903 the eonmsres erter,sr
o00fr., and in 1866, TO 4,S27000e00fr. The mari.
time commerce Of France In 1855, as compared
with 1854 increased l6 per cent, and the commerce
not sea borne per cent.
BY FAR the largest portion Of the foeign-or, as Il
~ called, the external-commerce OF France Il car
RED on with England. From the last returns, this
commerce amounted TO 10000 000fr.--an increase
OF IL per cent on The returns Of 1854. Toe United
States traffic with France comes next TO that Of
Great Britain, amounting, az II does, 10 $1,000
00ofr. Belgium and Switzerland are In the next
rank-the former reaching figure of Az 600 0O0fr,
the latter figure Of 3s2,6oO,o0ofr.
The progress Of our neghbors in navigation has
been as considerable a. their progress in trade. In
1850, comprising navigation inwsrds and outwards,
there il return Of 81 926 vessels, measuring $685.,
600 tons, with cargoes valued at 1855 900 francs,
whereas in 1855 there ,757 vessels measuring

THE COTTON CROP.

On the first page, the reader will find On irter-
Mcqueen, member of Congress from the Eastern
District, to the Charleston Mercury, on the pres
cnt cotton crop. In order to ascertain the extent
of the crop, Gen. Mcqueen adopted the happy and
reliable expedient of addressing letters to the Re-
representatives. from the growing States, and
from their several responses he has made up the
estimate. According to his figures, the crop will
not exceed 2,700,0 900 balcs-about 800, 600 bales
short of last year. The estimates for the several
States may DC summed up thus
In Texas the crop will exceed that of 1856 by
90 per cent, in consequence of increase of land in
cultivation land hands from immigration. In some
portions of Arkansas, the increase will be 10 per
cent from similar cause, while in other portions
it will fall short 20 per cent. Louisiana reports
the crop 20 per cent short; Mississippi from one
quarter to one-half short; Alabama, Georgia,
Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida, tell n like
story and in South Carolina Mr.. Orr estimates
the crop at one-fourth short of 1855; Mr. keitt at
one-third short; Mr.. Bro0Es at onefOurth short {;
and Mr. Boyce and Mr.. Mcqueen at more than
oncfourth short.
With these figures before US, and taking into
consideration nil the outward circumstances which
may directly or indirectly affect the consumption,
we may predict with certainty that during the
next six months, the prices will range ut much
higher than the usual rates. Nothing is likely
to occur which will seriously affect the prosperity
of either our own or European countries; trade
will be frecr; money more plenty; and all the
world, at home and abroad, will jog along for a
time easily and smoothly. Our farmers, then,
may be sure of n good price.
