very courteous TO the press he must de-

no objection, however, TO his saying that II Mr..

-i1 ai le PARIS, Feb ], 1873.
The subjoined tables OF exports to the United
States have been compiled from returns MADE by
American Consuls in France, embodyng the values
OF invoices certified in the various districts. 1t
Nil be seen that the business done at Paris ex-
ceeds largely that OF the twelve other consulates
There is apparently falling or in the year 1901,
owing to the interruption Of business during the
siege and the reign OF the. Commune. The differ
ence, however; is made up by the increase In the
value OF exports from Lyons, Calais and Boulogne,
the latter two being csnsuates having hardly any
commercial Importance in ordinary times. The
number or invoices at the Consulate General in
Paris largely exceeds 10000 per annum, and the
business done during 1872 surpasses all preceding
periods. Indeed, there is excess in nearly every
item OF exports, excepting goods emanating fnom
the Aasatian factories. The increase in insect
laneous dry goods especially is astonishing There
are other interesting items. The value Of sardnes
exported annually averages 100000. From Mar
seilles there is variety OF chemicals, dye stufrs
ana fruit the staple articles being common SOAP
madder extract and madden root. The exports from
Nice comprise almost exclusively perfumery; those
Limoges only porcelain and crockery goods. But
there are other manutactures-such as gloves cor
aials and leather-shipped from the district which
probably pass through the hands OF commission
houses in Paris. The item of gloves, which had
augmented enormously during several years, has
cow become stationary in the tables of Paris and
Lyons exports. The fact is that the trade is done
more direct. Owing to the enhanced value Of the
raw material kid gloves are now obtained from
other countries, Italy and Germany, where lower.
priced articles are manufactured During the late
war an important trade sprung up from German

tlcies OF nnery but all that has again been restored

Tnc Purchase OF the webb steamers NOT

sells and Some OF the Terms of the Sale.
AL was very quiet about the efrces of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company yesterday afternoon
In the Directors Room'' a few clerks were
engaged in routine business, and In the outer
offices there was a general flavor Of dulness In
an informal conversation one Of the principal
officials stated that though negotiations for the
purchase Of the Australian tWebb's) line were
pending, the arrangements for the transfer had
not yet been closed-in fact the whole matter was
at present little more than mere speculation as to
probabilities. y-a .I .,
In subsequent conversation with the treasurer
OF the company 1t was ascertained that the pur-
chase had been agreed upon, and that the, only
delay In the final transfer Is caused by the necos-
sary time required by the experts to make an ex-
animation Of the ships and send in their report.
In this connection the following transcript OF the
memoranda furnished the company by Mr.. Webb
may be Of interest. 1t contains sketch OF the
sells about to be transferred. The first helist is

per day against fifty tons consumed by the Chaun-
cey. Her original csst was $760,000 and she has
llate been repaired and placed in perfect order
value at 100000, claiming that new ship could
not be built for less. The Dakota Is new on the
Pacific coast an advantage to the company, as they
wish in case OF purchase to place her on the China
route. 1sf lsr, s. .rt

The battle of the sermons in Portland
was. l trust, finished yesterday. The
casus belH was as follows:
An eminent Unitarian clergyman of the
city preached an able sermon two weeks
ago, which was copied and praised by one
OF our leading papers, whereupon an
enthusiastic Episcopalian clergyman came
out in a card, wherein he attacked Unitar-
ian. sermon, and newspaper at one fell
swoop; this OF course successfully called
public attention TO the sermon of the
liberal christian" first mentioned, which
otherwise would not probably have been
read by half dozen people in our secular

seldom done more lavish SHINING than it
did last week; almost every night there
came news of some disturbance or riot at
Nelson LeightOn's notorious den and the
number Of culprits at the police station
was unusually large and miscellaneous.
Wednesday night the stabbing fray at
Nelson Leighton's occurred, in which a
young man by the name of William S.

he got home on the midnight train and found
Farwell there at o'clock at night. drunk

he and McCallum put Farwell out, and.

The New Judge

Governor Perham has given new
instance of his good sense and sound judy.
ment in the appointment of Hon. John A.
Peters, as q Justice of the Supreme Jud d.
cial Court in place of Judge Kent, whose
term will expire in early May. This action
will be hailed with satisfaction by the bar
and by public sentiment generally
throughout the State. II is an appoint
ment that helps to keep our Judiciary up
TO the good repute which it has enjoyed
Ripe with years and honors. Judge Kent
retires from seat that he has for fourteen
years filed most acceptably. He has been
sound lawyer, a good scholar and fine
writer of opinions, and his high character
for integrity has been to our view an in
spring thing to look upon. We wish
there were more such men in public life.
When such an one gives up the ear eer
that he has SO long illustrated, an d lays
down the honors that he has so well borne,
it is no light dnty that i laid upon him
who steps into the vacant place. We well
come Mr.. Peters TO this duty with high
hope and confidence.
