The London Times of May 18th, gives statement Of
the computed value OF the imports into the United
Kingdom, during the year 1863 compared with 1862
showing increase OF e3l 495 918, the whole imports
for 1862 being e224 976, and for 1863 9248 $50,
S42. The British possessions furnish than one
third of the whole. In 1862 the imports from the Brit
ISL possessions were Eos, 1888 25l and in 1868 were
G84 $685. 20 The greater portion of this increase was
in the imports from India and the Bahamas, The imports
from India being in 1862 e34 55l, and in 1853,
948, 434, 5l7. The Bahamas (Nassau) stands for
se463 972 in 1862, and for 92 ,282, 7l3 in 1863.
France stands next to the British possessions the i'm
ports from that country amounting to 924, O24 6l9-
The United States come third the list. They for
merry stood second and next to the British possessions
The imports from the United States into the United
Kingdom, fell from EFT Ills, 157, in 1862, to 9l957O
8l5 in 1868. Strangely enough Egypt comes next to
the United States, having increased from $l2 1885, 1888
in 1862 to 9l6495 ISL in 1863. This increase, like
that in the imports from India and Nassau is due to
the blockade Of the cotton ports Of the South.
Arabia contributes 50 to the imports, and Patago-
mia is just ahead of the Papel States.

Grant on the James.

1t will be that toe enemy has succeeded in cross
ing tie Cbickahomipy at the Long Bridges twenty
niea below Richmond. From the point of crossing
there roads running to or connecting with Harr-
sons Landing Shirley, opposite Bermuda Hundreds
and Malvern HILL and indeed all the other points
on the James River, also with the City of Richmond
ITSELF the direct route to that City being by the Charles
City Road. If cavalry fought the enemy 8 ad-
vance Oh Monday morning fifteen miles below Rich
moad it would appear that he must have been advanc-
ing the Charls City Road though if his base is to
be on the jams River it would seem that he would
keep of TO his left and right to be that
river What bis present objact is cannot pretend
to say. He may contemplate crossing over to the
Southsde of the James River he may hope to force
hi. way up the North sde We shall soon see, for
he will not remain Iorg idle. He has some scheme in
hand, which will soon be developed.
The renforcements at Malvern Hill are probably
from BUrLER's army or some few avy artillery scrap
ed up from some garrisons North.
GRANT promised to fight all summer on the Freder.
icksburg line but got tired before May was out. He
swung round and changed his base, first to Tappahan-
mock and Port Royal the Rappahannock, then to
the White House the Pamunkey, and now he has

We have recently seen pretty minute map OF the
country in the vicinity of Richmond, and had pointed
out to Us, by gentleman who on the field this
week. the relative positions Of the contending armies
OF course, without tie map could not point cut
these positions to our readers We satisfied ourselves
however that there only two crossing places on the
Chickahomiry below Bottoms Bridge These places
are at the Long Bridge bridges and at the Forge
Bridge Crossing at either Of these places would
bring the enemy to the James low down in Charles
City County, and he hardly farther up, as all
the bridges are in our possession. Whether he can
cross at these lower bridges remains to be SEEM 1t
would appear to to he doubtful policy for him to do

Skaundiess Rumors.

Beyond doubt TIE enemy in bis eff 2ial character
beats ua all hollow in the way of lying, and
officially we are not able to hold candle to him any
where along the Eastern seaboard. But far the
West is concerned, whether this side of the Misss
sippi or the other side, rather inclined to think
tha it is hard to tell which class of reports least
reliable-th those coming through Yankee channels or
those purporti1g TO come from own people.
To ssy nothing of tie reports prevalent some two
weeks slice that FORREST had got il SHERMAN's rear
and taken Chattanooga, may alude to the positive
statement that portion Of FoRREsTs force had taken
Huntsville Alabame, ard the balance would soon be
along and much more OF the same sort, and equally
true-that is to say, Without the least foundation
whatever. At the latest dates General FORREST was
in orth Mississippi at Baldwin, at least so
the tee graph says, though we can find 10 Baldwin in
Northern Mississippi There is Baldwin some thirty
miles from jackson in the central Western part OF the
State.
If there is Anybody doirg anything in SHERMAN S
rear, the indications in his front bear no evidence OF
the fact and we fear that there will not soon be- GER
tany SHERMAN proceeds boldly to carry cut bis plans
whatever they may be, and gives no signs of that re-
treat falling back which told was confident
~ expected OF him In Atlanta. Toe truth is that if
General JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON knows when Or how the
advance of the enemy is to he checked be has not told
ito ybody and all the peculaions of outsiders and
insiders too for that matter have amounted to so much
chof. We hardly think any of them worth copying
1t may be worth knowing that it is still three hundred
miles from Gen. JoHNsToNs position to the Gulf of Mex
leo, and about the same to the Atlantic ocean Where
in that long stretch the General to make per-
inanent stand, we do not know. We may say we have
confidence that he will do what is right that we be-
ieve is the orthodox thing Bat we know nothing we
think nothing expect little, and we believe less--
Better that than to hatter ourselves with hopes and
calculations only cherished to be destroyed.
