IMPORTS, EXPORTS, AND GoLD.-The New
York Commercial Adcertiser gives the fig
ures Of the imports and exports at New
York for forty-nine weeks Of the fiscal
week ending with June, as compared with
the two years before. In 1869 the exports
more than paid for the imports, the produce
exported amounting to $l46,424, ,96S,
against $l23, ,66l imported. In 1868,
the balance was still favorable, exports be.
ing SITS, ,7S9.5 .582, and imports $l72,743,.
06S. This year the balance against us is
immense, the exports falling to $155, ,O78,.
800, and the imports swelling to $685.
4Ol ,Ol5.
A large amount of California gold has
been shipped from the Is,hmus to Europe
this year, and United States bonds have
gone abroad, but this has not prevented
the exports Of specie from New York from
increasing. In 1862 tho specie exported
from that city was $22,736,l75 in 1862
it was $5l 1871 ,66l; and this year it is
$54.592,6l Meantime the receipts at
New York from California, which in 1862 8
were in ten months $2s. .54O,7le, have fal.
len to $8, 49,, ,7SS, showing tho enormous
drain Of our stocks Of specie which is now
going on, in addition to the shipments OF
our regular product.

Another Arbitrary Arrest.

On the lsln OF May last, Mr.. Alcxande:
II. Jannison. "t Niagara county. N,w York,
was arrested IN th's city and taken to the
guard house at the barracks. He was in
this city on business, and ON the afternoon
Of the 10Th Of May, As he VAS walking
along the street, an individual, who alter.
ward announced hlmself to be an ,fticer,
tapped hun N the shoulder ard ihvited him
to 60 to the barracks without permission
being granted to go to bis hotel or any
other place for the purpose of being iden-
tilted or satisfying al! parties interested Of
his loyalty to the government No charges
were against him, and he was not info, med
Of tie cause ot his arrest, although he de-
manded to know the cause. A portion of
;he time that he renamed at the barracks
he was closely conthed in filthy hole with
the worst criminals. His money and all
his effects were taken away IRON him, he
was not allowed to have food furnished
hin from outside. and was not permitted
to communicate with any Of bis friends -
Something more .han week ago he was
| taken from the barracks to the House OF
Correction, where he Was closely confined
in a cell and compt lied to live on prison
diet. Yesterday afternoon, about halr past
O'Clock, MIR. Rockway, Superintendent, OF
the House Of Core ction, called him from
his cell into his Office Of the prison and
told him that lie was free TO go. There
were no papers, no "fticcrs, no explanation
Cf the cause OF bis arrest and detention. He
was simply told to go,and up to this moment
he has never been luld why he was srrest.
I'd. nor were there any charges made
against him nor any trial. He does not
know why he WAS arr' sted, why he was
detained IN close confinement more than .
month, nor ahy he was finally discharged.

Chase-..Vreasury.
The communication of ex. Secretary of
the Treasury, Hon. S. P. Chase, which he
sent to the Committee on Ways and Means
on the 29th of June, says:
The aggregate revenue from all sources
for the year closing with the 3Oth ultmo,
reached $242, ,OOG. 900.
The expenses including two months paw
Of the army, July 1st, were $685., ,OOO, 600.
The amount in excess of the revenue is
therefore $64O,0O0.
Taking the highest amount estimated and
assuming that the miscellaneous reports
will reach $S5. 900, 900, the whole amount
Of revenue for next year can't be set down
at more than three hundred and eighteen
millions. The expenditures are likely tC
reach eight hundred and fifty millions, and
four hundred and fifty millions il to b.
raised by loans. The loan bill provides fol
only four hundred millions, and that is the
largest sum in which in the judgment Of
Mr. Chase can be reasonably attempted -
There remains, then, the amount of eighty
two millions to be provided for and all con
siderations Of public interest seemed to him
to require imperatively that they be reached
by an increase Of revenue.
He therefore proposed to raise the def
cheney, believing that the changes proposed
by him would produce in the difference be
tween the rate on incomes by the old and
new bill added to the tax of the current
year. 81, 500, 900; tax on leaf tobacco, 81,
600. 900; increase Of tax on smoking and
chewing tobacco, $4,000, 900; increase o
tax on malt liquors, $4,000, 900; tax or
dealers sales 81. .O0O,0 tag on spirits or

Light up with . dreamy smile.
