That the diminution under such circumstances would
be only 4 ! per cent. could scarcely have been anticipated
even by the most sanguine. As compared with 1856,
there has been an increase of fTS7, 1888. This result is
attributable mainly to the suppression of the Indian
mutiny, and the consequent demand for cotton manufac-
lures in that country. The American end colonial trade
has been dull throughout, although in these instances,
looking at the prospects with which the year opened, the
transactions have been larger and better than could have
been hoped. It was railway enterprise that received the
principal check, and the falling OFF in the shipment of
iron and steel has been to the extent of E2, 2T0, 031.
Wooens, silks, and hardware are the next items which
have been most largely affected. Tho increased export
oil 1858 beyond 1851 was, in cotton goods, f3, 029, 433;
cotton yarn, f872, 731; oil seed, ESQ, 568 beer and ale,
z5s,529; soda, f5l ,734 stationery, col l6S refined
sugar, 1881; WOODEN yarn, fl2, $50 linen yarn,

LAwLEssNEss, it apr ears, has not yet been effectually
checked in Baltimore. Officers McHenry and thinner
man, of our city police, being lately summoned there as
witnesses in a bank robbery case now on trial, were men
aced, in the immediate vicinity of the courthouse, with
the vengeance of rowdies, whose enmity they have in
CURED by the yigilant and faithful discharge of their
duty. Lieut.. McHenry confronted his assailants with
revolver in hand, and by dint of wariness and resolution
succeeded in reaching the marshaPs office unframed,
whence he was escorted TO the Washington depot by the
marshal and his aids. Officer Zimmerman was obliged to
resort TO ~strafagem to escape, and was carried by o friend
in a bugey to the Relay House, nine miles from Balti-
more, where he took the cars for this city. 1t is no
ordinary split of ~rowdyism which threatens the lives of
the officers of the law ut q time when four wretches
await, in the prison of the same city, the ignominious
doom which they meritci by deeds of riot and blood
shed.
