Notwithstanding the cXcrtiOns Of the English

Of prices, the supplies obtained in the periods

India was partially owing 10 the Scpoy lnSur-
rcction. The Bombay district, from which the
principal supplies are derived, it shonld be re-

All the present state of commercial prosperity
with cur Union and government, the Adolf
~tioniSts and their Black Republican abcttors at
the North arc trying to ovcr.hrow;-that is,
they are striving for their own destruction, as
well as that cr the country at large.
The commercial movements Of this city for
the ten months, or from January LIST to the list
November, 1862, have been instructive and
suggestive. New loik, Of all cities in the
world, should irOwn down ~fanatical section
alis,u. The inccndiary with a lighted torch is
less dangerous To her interest than are those
who attempt 10 convert her population into
Abolition madrnca. She derives her trade from
every State in the Union, and the day on which
She shall follow the disunioniSt in driving the
South from her, and ~iSolating herself into 4
narrow and sectional position, compelled to rcly
exclusively on sectional trade and support,
from that time will the days Of her prosperity
be numbered.
This city, from lst of January To the ist Of
November, has imported merchandise to the
value Of :2ll, 3G2. ZIG. What has the North
supplied in the way ofexportS, to pay for these
foreign imports? viz: $5l,7$i,Gl4 in domestic
produce and $G3,270,Gl+ in specie; total
Sis eos, 227; leaving a balance Of imports
AGAINST New York Of Sg3, $50, $50. 1t must be
rycol!ccted that Il portion Of the specie shipped
was FROM the South, and a large share OF
the domestic produce was also from the South,
among which were $50, 600 bales Of cotton,
which, valued at $50 per bale, amounted TO
| $500 and j2G, 1000 bbis. naval stores, at
not hess tI,an 50 per barrel, $l,052,0 00; to say
nothing Of rice and tobacco and other articles.
