The commercial capabilities Of Norfolk are
attracting general attention, and as soon aa the
present war is over, a new population from the
North will undoubtedly take possession aud
develope them. Northern capital has already
been drswn upon largely, for the construction
Of pubic works there, out the people OF the
North have emigrated thither but little. The
cause repelling such emigration has now ceased
to exist. slavery having been abO lshed in all
that immediate region, and there being no dan
ger that II will ever be re.established.
The natural advantages of Norfolk, as an
entrepot Of the commerce of the Chesapeake
bay and its tributary rivers, are obvious upon
an inspection Of maps. It's artificial advan-
tages. by canal connection with the waters Of
North Carolina, are not so well known
This connection is made by the Albemarle
and Chesapeake canal, having depth nowhere
less than eight feet aud sixty-fve miles in
length, Of which fourteen miles are artificial,
aud the remainder natural waters
This navigation extends from Albemarle
Sound up the North river, thence through an
artificial canal five and one half miles to Curt
tuck Sound. thence through that sound to and
up the North Landing river, aud thence by an
artificial canal of eight and one half miles 10
the southwest branch of the Elizabeth river. at a
point uear Norfolk.
The sounds which stretch along the coast ol
North Carolina, protected from the Atlantic by
narrow banks of sand, constitute, in fact, a
magnificent system Of internal lakes. or seas
OF all these lakes, or seas, and Of their tribu
tary rivers, many Of which afford a long and
good navigation, Norfolk is made the outpor
by the canal which we have described.
The connections Of Norfolk and North Caro-
lima are so close that the project Of annexine
Norfolk to North Carolina has been long
agitated In that quarter.
1t is not improbable, in view Of their pas
conduct, that the rebels may burn up Norfolk
and Portsmouth, when compelled to evacuate
as they soon will be. Those towns are in theiI
power, and mnst abide the fate of war.
Grievoas ss such a calamity would be to in
dividuals, and to many who are loyal, 1t would
not be matter Of unmixed regret Tht
nearer Virginia il brought TO the condition O.
| a yusa tqb,dd, the sooner will be IT'S recovery
and the greater its ultimate prosperity. A.
| long as the old habitations remain, the old
Inhabitants will cling to them. The torch ha'
ended all that at Hampton, and may do SO a
Norfolk. If applied, it will only be by rebe
| hands, and will give deeper coloring to
the crimes which their history will record
But in the philosophy Of nature, life springs
always from death, aud the very distinctions
which cover their perpetrators with deserved
infamy, are often the necessary conditions o
new and glorious reconstructions.

GRAIN IMPoRrArroNs OF ENGLAND. The grain
importation Of Great Britain is q subject OF
great importance to the grain growers Of the
West and the carrying trade Of the East, and
we have therefore condensed the returns Of the
first half Of the present year compared with the
same period last year. The aggregate value
Of the grain mportations Of the first half Of the
present year are estimated at $l05, 5000, 900
against $47 100000 in 1860. OF this total
about $72 200, 900 represents wheat and -four,
the importations of which in the same period
Of 1860 were below $15,0OO,OOO. In 1859
France sent the chief supplies, and contributed
about an much US Russia, Prussia, and the Uni
ted States combined, while from America the
amount was merely nominal. In 1860 Prussia
took the lead, Russia was second, and the qusn
tity from France was Insignificant. This year
America has distaneed all other countries, and
has sent nearly as much as Prussia, Russia,
and France combined, the quantity from the
latter being less even than in 1860.
