FAILING Orr or IMPORTS. learn
from the Journal Of Commerce that i'm
ports of foreign dry goods at New York
during the month Of April have been
very light-far less than generally ex-
pected This is especially true in refer
ence to the last week, during which the
total entries of dry goods were valued at
something less than two hundred thou
sand dollars. In order to bring our ia
bic nearer to the close of the month, we
have compiled it to include one week
less than in the corresponding summa-
ny Of last year. The total is S4,2S7, =
47O less than for April 1857, So, 492. 1896
less than for Apri. 1856, and 1904, 492
less than for April, 1885. The falling
of is comparatively greatest in wooiens
and eottons. Last year large amount
Of goods were entered for warehousing
to benefit by the reduction in the tariff
on the LIST of July. This year the with
drawals from warehouse have been three
times as large as the entries for bonding.
showing the goods have been wanted. -
The total imports Of foreign dry goods
at New York siaeo January list are
S22 356. 3Sl less than for The correspon-
ding period Of last year, S20,315,1 ia
less than for the corresponding period of
1856, and S3,3lS, 0G9 less than for the
same period Of 1855.

Has THE lEoIsLATUEE ADJOURNED
This question has been frequently oste,
since the reported adjournment Of ting
Maryland Legislature, from the fact tha
now and then the existence of COMM
tees comes to light, appointed during
the last days Of session, with leave to
sit after the adjournment. The --latest
committee that we have heard of is com
posed of the following gentlemen: b.
W. Belt, Geo. II. Morgan, Samuel
Ford, j. s. SuGler, Geo w. Landing
Horatio G. Grieves, and Ballus 'HI
Kennard. They are appointed for III
purpose Of inquiring into the fsherie
and productions of the Chesapeake Ba
and its tributaries, and are to report I
the next general Assembly some suitabA
plan for the better regulation of thl
same. The field of operation is pretty
extensive, and If the committee do not
become fatigucd, they may spend thu
whole Of the two succeeding summers al
the expense Of the State, i'll makingNo OBJ
seryatfons which, il is supposed will /,
OF Immense benefit to the State. Theil
suggestions to the next Legislature Will
OF course, be entirely satisfactory, and
their plan unanimously adopted
We thoughts month ago that we were
pretty well posted upon the doines of the
late Legislature; but we are forced to
confess that we are almost know moth.

now many committees, with power to sit
during the next two years, have been
appointed; but we do know that the
taxpayers do not approve Of such reck-
less eNtravagance The above commit

leave to sit during the recess Of two
years. We think the State may possj-

Il is to be presumed that the st. Louis

a direct peouniary interest in holding out in

are certainly negligent in the same things
very necessary to the comfort and convent
cncc Of those who patronize these lines Of

the cars meet the packets, st late hour Of

walks are few and narrow--deep mud sur
rounds the entire premises--the few walks
that are afforded cannot be easily found or
