The returns Of the British Board of Trade,
just issued, show the proportion in which the
various countries of the world ranked as Gus
toners of England during the past year and it
Is an interesting fact that the figures as to the
United States show a heavy increase of ship
ments. 1t is no less noteworthy that the stats
tics as to France show u diminution.
The total amount of expectations shows an
increase of eighteen per cent. over the year 1862;
the value of the expectations in 1862 being
E123 .999 ,264, and in 1865, Gl46. 4S9, 76S. The
British colonies took one-third of the whole ex-
port, the largest increase being that of India. to
which the amount sent in 1862 was ETA, 6l7 .673,
and in 1868. fl9, SOS ,657. A heavy trade is
carried on with Germany, the figures being, for
1862, fl2,6S5 300, and for 1868, Els ,27S,3 1854.
The export to the United States is thus given
In 1862, 914,327 $50; in. 1868, e15,3 5l 500.
Setting aside the British passions, and there is
France-to which there has been a falling off the
past year of about half n million Holland.
Turkey and Italy take about alike, six millions.
The increase of exports to Egypt is remarkable,
in 1862 it being 20, 405 ,492, and in 1863, G4,-
416 ,2iO.
The commerce with the United States has been
greater than that with the following countries
combined Spain, Russia, China, Portugal and
Belgium. The exports to the whole Of these
countries foot up only thirteen millions, or two
millions less than the commerce with this coun-
try.
The commercial intercourse with the South
American countries and Mexico is gradually in
creasing. As this is an ~uncommonly interesting
fact, we put a few lines in tabular form

The English COurt-The Queen
to Her Subjects.

The London Times of the 9th May, has the
following, which is called in the papers " The
Queens Allocution :"
An erroneous idea seems to prevail, and has
latterly found frequent expressions in the news
papers, that the Queen Is about TO resume the
place in society which she occupied before her
great affection that is, she is about again to
hold leYees and drawing rooms in person, and to
appear as before at Court balls, concerts, etc.
This idea cannot be too explicitly contradicted.
The Queen heartily appreciates the desire of
her subjects to see her, and whatever she can do
10 crafty them In this loyal and afeetionate
wish she will do. Whenever any real object is
to be obtained by her appearing on public occa-
siOns, any national interest to be promoted, or
anything TO be encouraged which is for the good
of her people, Her Majesty will not shrink, as
she has not shrunk, from any personal sacrifice
or e%xertion, however painful.
But there are other and higher duties than
those of mere representation which are now
thrown upon the Queen, alone and unassisted-
duties which she cannot neglect without injury
to the public service, which weigh increasingly
upon her, overwhelming her with work and
anxiety.
The Queen has labored conscientiously to dis
charge these duties till her health and strength,
already shaken by the utter and ever abiding
desOlation which has taken the place or her
former happiness, have been seriously impaired.
To call upon her to undergo, in addition, the
fatigue of those mere State ceremonies which can
be equally well performed by other members OF
her family, is to ask her to run the risk of en-
tirely disabling herself for the discharge of those
duties which cannot be neglected without serious
injury to the public interests.
The Queen will, however, do what she can
in the manner least trying to her health, strength
and spirits-to meet the loyal wishes OF her SUBJ
jects, to afford that support and countenance to
society, and give that encouragement to trade
which is desired Of her.
More the Queen cannot do and more the
kindness and good feeling of her people will
surely not exact from her.

The Defenses of Richmond.

The city is defended by a series of Notifications
of the most elaborate construction, and erected
under the engineering skill of Beauregard, Lee,
johnson and other prominent officers in the rebel
service. They have caused to be erected three
distinct lines Of defensive works, each as formid-
able IN It's character us H. Is possible ~ IL mode,
and the fall Of one would not involve the loss Of
the others. The works are of earth-which has
been proven the best material for fortifications-
of great extent, upon positions naturally strong,
mounted with ordnance of the heaviest calibre,
and on the whole truly formidable. The reports
of rebel deserters, spies from our own lines and
escaped prisoners from the Libby, all agree in the
statement that the defences are most extensive in
character.
The James river is defended with every appli-
ance which human ingenuity or the most pro-
found engineering skill can devise. Fort Darling
may be considered its principle battery and this
is really formidable, situated as it is, upon
Drury's Bluff, out of the reach of the guns from
our monitors or other crafts and absolutely i'm
pregnable to a naval attack. Besides this Fort
river which will prove almost as difficult to take
as Fort Darling. There are torpedoes almost
innumerable within the Immediate vicinity of
Richmond, which are planted with the intention
to cause the immediate destruction of any gun
boats which might possibly force their way above
Fort Darling. There are also distractions in the
river consisting of sunken barges, canal boats and
other vessels which must cause immediate delay
to the attempt of any hostile vessel to pass up,
and during which innumerable large guns could
be brought tn bear upon the approaching craft,
which by their plunging fire, would almost in
stantly cripple, if not sink her. The channel of
this respect its equal can scarcely be found on
this continent.

The New Atlantic Telegraph
Cable.

The Atlantic Telegraph Company Directors
have completed a contract with Glass. Elliott il
Co., of London, England, to manufacture the
improved cable, unanimously by
the Scientific Committee, and arrangements have
been made TO lay the same in the summer Of 1865.
The conductor of this consists of q copper strand
of seven wires, (six laid around one) each wire
gauging OLA of an inch, and the centre strand
O.144 of an inch, and weighing 300 lbs per
nautical mile, embedded, for solidity, in Chatter
toms compound. The conductor of the old cable
of 1858 consisted of six wires laid around one,
being about half the guage of the new one, and
weighing only 10Y lbs. to the nautical mile. The
insulator of the new cable is to consist of gutta
percha, in four layers, between each of which is
TO be q thin layer of Chatterton's compound,
making the diameter of the core O.464 of an
inch, weighing 400 lbs. per nautical mile. The
insulator of the old cable was formed of three
layers and weighed 26I lbs. per nautical mile.
The external protection of the new cable is in
two parts first, the core is surrounded with a
padding OF soft Jute yarn, saturated with u pre-
sentative mixture next this padding is the pro-
tective covering, which consists Of ten solid wires
OF the gauge of O,O95 of an inch, drawn from
homogeneous iron, each wire being surrounded
separately with five strands of Manila yarn.
The whole of the ten strands thus formed of the
hemp and iron Ore to be laid spirally around the
PADDED core. The external protection of the
cable laid in 1858, it will be remembered, con-
sisted of eighteen strands of charcoal iron wire
leach strand composed of seven small wires) laid
spirally round the core, which latter was pre-
viously padded with hemp saturated with tar
mixture. Each strand was of No. IA gauge,
and entirely unprotected from the action of the
sea-water. The weight of the new cable is to be
354 cwt. per mile, while that of the old one was
20 cwt. The breaking strain of the new cable
is "a tons; of the old cable, 81 tons. The
strength of the new cable is to be equal to AGA
times its own vertical weight in the deepest water,
(2,400 fathoms,) while that of the old cable was
only 2.05 times the strength requisite for the
deepest water y

The exhibit presents as increasing
between Great Britain and most parts of the
world. In Turkey and Egypt the indications of
Mexico is attributed to the French occupation
and partly To the trade to Matamoras for the
supply of the Confederates across the Rio Grande.
The exports to New Granada, which include the
isthmus transit, have more than doubled. The
British press comment with much satisfaction on
this presentation of the commercial increase of
the United Kingdom.

Butler and Gilmore,

The latest exploit, says the st. Louis Repub-
petition against Petersburg. This has resulted
in fizzle, and the valorous BEN, we observe,
is'tryiug to shoulder the responsibility upon
Gen. GILMORE. Some little time ago there
was controversy with regard to the relations
existing between BUTLER and GILMORE,
springing up on account of the repulse
of onr troops from Fort Darling 1t was
at first understood that Gilmore had contended
that the retreat could be avoided if the army
had intrenched itself. This being charged, a
correspondence passed between Butler and Gil
more in which the latter said he had not ad-
vised his SUPERIOR but in which he carefully
Ter had done. Butler now attributes the fail
ure of the Petersburg enterprise to want of CO.
operation by Gilmore with Kautz' cavalry, and,
by stating that he withdrew without . con-
fict, imputes c0wardice or incapacity to the
hero of Fort Wagner. OF course. we know
nothing of the circumstances, but 1t will doubt
less turn ont that General Gilmore was very
well aware of what he was doing, and that his
withdrawal was dictated by considerations of
prudence, which an educated and experienced
officer like him never feels at liberty to ignore
however 1t may be with Generals of the Etan-
ton school of strategy. To insinuate that
Gilmore wont fight. that he is timid that he
is not self possessed. that he can be terrified
by shadows, is absurd and ridiculous, and we
think Gen. Butler will realize little honor by
attempting to shield his own blunders be
hind such charges against another.
