been from these families. 1t is supposed that
ten at least of the descendants have entered or
are preparing to enter the ministry. This lit
tie company would have their academy a real
Puritan instinct. They have promoted tenn
perance, good morals, and "every good word
and work" Not one of the COO descendants
OF these three families is known to have been
OF degraded moral character; it is believed
that there is not drunkard or tippler among
them all. Let little companies of Christians.
In the small and new hamlets of California,
learn much to quicken and encourage Them
let parents especially believe. what hundreds
of such Puritan histories may teach them. that
it is well with the families that are faithful to
God; let them doubt not that there is a sub
stantial basis for baptizing their children into
the same faith with themselves. The above
facts will be found more at length in The Con-
gregational Quarterly for July
Commerce of the Uuited States with Great
Britain.
The returns of the British Board of Trade
show that the imports into Great Britain and
Ireland from this country, between the 1st of
January and the lst of July were, in round
numbers, 52 1-2 million dollars from Northern
aud 81 100000 from Southern ports; against
53 millions in 1861 from Northern ports, and
los millions from Southern ports. We copy
the sterling figures:
Imports from Northern ports f10 0536357 f106946 6l3
Southern ports 370565 2l,0s2 l61
This shows loss to the Southern States of
over 100 million dollars in exports, and dim
mutton of bills on Europe TO that extent
This 100 million dollars has been driven away
TO other countries by the war. The amount
of British manufactures sent to us in return
for our exports of produce, is
1852. 1861
To Northern ports f603l,457 f5,O66.22s
To Southern 1850 22s,7s9
We have, in the first half of this year thus
imported IA million sterling in value more
than in the corresponding period of last year,
when everybody felt so very poor in COMPARE
son TO what they do now. We import more at
higher prices this year than at lower prices
last year, and find it more easy to pay for the
increased importation The balance of trade
against Us had been created by the cessation
OF Southern exports; and the specie which
would have circulated in the South for her cot
ton, has, instead, been sent to Europe. In the
seven months ending 3lst July, Great Britain
received 45,53S,S2l in specie. Our own re-
turns show that we have shipped to Europe
S43,201 352 in specie, up to the present time.
Our exports of corn and four-that is, from
Northern sports-were / ,572 012 quarters wheat,
and 2O1S.000 cwts. of wheat, meat, and flour,
in seven months; while only 40,4S2 cwts. of
raw cotton were sent to England, against g.
