PRESENT REPRESENTATION OF STATES YET TO ELECT.

FRANCE.-The imports and exports of France for
the year 1857, amounted in the aggregate to ten
hundred and sixty-ve millions of dollars In lS47,
ten years ago, under the government of Louis
Philippe they amounted only to four hundred and
sixty-eight millions. The increase has been five
hundred and ninety-seven millions, one hundred
and enty-eightper cent. The increase in popula-
tion has been small. The advance made by France
is perfectly astonishing. Her foreign trade has
quadrupled in the ten years of Napoleon's reign.
During the seventeen years of Louis Phillippes
reign it only trebled. French commerce, which a
few years ago far behind ours, now considera-
bly, exceeds it in value. Our foreign imports and
exports in 1857, were only eight hundred and
twenty-three millions of dollars. This French pre-
cedence of us, after we had long ranked next to
Great Britain in trade, is not very fattering to our
national pride. Her commerce, however is carried
on largely in foreign ships. The tonnage of the
United States is three times larger than hers.
MEx1co.-The Boletin Ofcial, of the 10th, says
tn at Vidaurr has resigned the command in chief of
the northern force in favor of Col. Zaragosa, who
had begun an active reorganization of the forces,
and had already equipped force of more than two
thousand men. A forced loan and voluntary
tribution had been commenced at Monterey, by
which it thought that ample means would be
raised to make a new effort against Miramon.
The Boletin says that Vidaurri's resignation was
caused by treason in his own camp, his guns having
been spiked previous to the recent battle, to which
his defeat is attributed.
The reactionists were committing depredations,
and burning haciendas.
ty-fve pieces of artillery some fifty sixty wag-
ons, and had some l 500 men taken prisoners, and
400 killed.
At last accounts Blanco and other Generals were
threatening San Luis, and battle was anticipated
there soon.
ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE-The most important
intelligence received by the steamer Circassan,
which arrived at st. Johns, Newfoundland, on
Saturday-making the voyage from Galway in ten
days, having left the 26th-is that preparations
l1VInn Atlantic Cable
Indeed, the British steamer Gorgon had arrived at
Liverpool, from Fayal, having been employed in
taking soundings. 1t seems that, indeed
expected from the frst the electrical communica-
ton cannot be relied upon from shore to shore, for
distance great as, say 1000 miles, between
Newfoundland and ireland. 1t would appear that
the present purpose is to run the Cable from Trn-
ty Bay to Fayal and thence to the English Channel
Southampton probably being the terminus and
thus dividing the continuity. Of the laying
of this Cable, or any other, cannot be proceeded
with until next year.-Philodelphio Press.
| The Boston Herald says that the member elect to
the Legislature from the district of Pembroke and
Marshfeld, Peter Samond, ESQ.,, is a straight whig,
and probably the only living member in that party
in the House of Representatives. He was under
stood to be pledged against the reelection of Henry
| Wilson to the United States Senate.
| The Mormons of New York, Brooklyn and Will
liamsburg held jubilee in the last named place on
Tuesday evening last. Songs, recitations, instru-
| mental music &C., &C., volunteered by different
| persons, constituted the exercises.
| The splendid apartment in the Palace of the Lux
| embOurg, at Paris, known as the Chanbre Couch
de Marie de Nedieis, is about to be restored.
The superb woodcarving of the frames, panels, &C.,
| has become worm-eaten, and the restoration will
require great care and nicely. The decay of the
woodwork would, of course, involve the loss event
ually of the beautiful arabesques and decorative
paintings of the period, which cover the walls and
ceilings of this sumptuous so-cacd bed chamber.
These paintings were executed by Rubens, Philip
| de Champagne, and Nicholas Poussn.
