Charleston.

Tho prosperity of our metropolis commands
the earnest consideration Of every section of
the State. The trade that centres there rad
a.es with beneficial effect all over the COM
monwealth, making every interest vibrate to
her depression or prosperity. The .Ne,cw' y,
in brief article on trade, says:
There were exported coastwisc from IT,
port of Charleston, during the last calender
year, 3, l5l bales Sea Island cotton, l42. .433
bales upland cotton, LOG, 040 ticrces rice, So
2I7 bushels rough rice, Gl, ,9l4 bushels wheat
5O,52l barrels iIowr, 1882 barrels naval
stores, and ,G93 ,3%33 feet lumber. The com
mercc of the. port of Charleston, both foreign
and coastwise, for the last calender year, a
mounted probably to Sis 900 0o0. Besides
the items in our coastwiss commerce, emu
mcratcd above there is a great variety of
miscellaneous articles such az feathers, ore
fruits and vegetables at the proper seasons
sent IN large quantities to Northern mark cts
In addition thereto, there is largs inward
country trade carried on here, the data of
which are inaccessible to us.
On the opening spring trade, this Nc,rs
speaks thus encouragingly,
Rumors are prevailing throughout the
adjoining country and States, that the Char
lesion merchants nave been So dishca.:caod
by the effects upon their business of the pre-
valence of yellow fever this last season. and.
possibly so Frustrated in means and conf,
dence by the smallness of their Fall trade,
that they will supply but small stocks, and
attempt bat limited efforts, for the spring
season. This is grave mistake and c;vlcu->
lated to do much injury to the interests Of
the city and the people. Despite the cpidem-
c, quite fair amount OF sales was made last
autumn and in resources our merchants were
never soundcr nor stronger, AS there is
nothing to interrupt the Spring trade; and
as, in fact, they are desirous to compensate
themselves for the drawbacks of the last six
months, the Charleston merchants are lay
ing in full varied and choice stocks of goods
and are and will be ready to supply all com
ers, and accommodate them on the most lib
eral rates and terms"

From SPAIN we receive accounts of n

the United States States. BY that discus

pudiate the idea of parting with the Island
ofCuha on any condition short of war. In.

81 am half inclined to say that the great

and fathers were ill.adysed enough to raise
an outcry about crinoline, what will they do
now The dress l speak of is ono to make
which about eight and-twenty or thirty yards
stuffare required, and the vestmcnt is thought
to look best when made of velvet Now lust
fancy dress of thirty yards, composed of
velvet, at Sc u yard. The garment itself is
little else than what was used, under Louis
NV. aud Nv, TO be called the grand habit. 3"
IL is a visiting dress, and is curious as to its
form and ST. Skirt and body hang together,
are held to each other by the back in a very
singular manner. The back of tho body spread
ing out into Kind of long large cape, as it
falls upon the skirt. The body is rather loose,
like what is called 'caraco," and does not
fit to the waist. The dress buttons all down
the front; the width of the dress at the bottom
is of fcight yards and upon every seam arc
sown ornaments pHssomcntcric, called . hand
ebonras." Such dress may easily be brought
to cost $1,000, and cannot cost less than $3.50"
