The New York Bulletin" fur
nishes some very interesting and
important statistics in relation to
our exports. The largest amonnt
in beef expectation was in 1874, it
being over four millions of dollars.
The news has just come to us that
q shipment of cattle from Boston
to Liverpool, to be sold for meat,
has proved profitable. 1t was a
lot OF $50 beeves, and sold readily
1t may bs that tue moment was an
auspicious one, but there seems to
be no reason why the experiment
should not result in a regular trade
at remunerative price. The raising
OF cattle in Texas, their transport
alton to New England, thair De-
mand and supply, is a dxed fact.
The business is established, will
continue, ana the only question is
whether the voyage to Europe can
be made regularly profitable. II
So, there is o trade that will extend
across this Continent, yielding
some profit all along its path. and
grow into an importance OF which
at present we have little idea. OF
the several classes of hog products,
as bacon, pork. hams and lard, our
annual average expectation for the
five years ending 1859 was, in
round number, Sll, ,Q0O,O00.
For the year 1870 il was. .sl5 coo 900
For the year 1873 it WIS.,. ... 81 900, 900
For the year 1874 It WAS. ........... .6S 500 .00D
For the year 1875 it was. ........ 81, 900 ,o3O
While. therefore, there has been
something of falling off for the
last two years in this particular
branch of exports, it will be seen
shat the general growth in value of
them has bsan wonderful. Within
six years our exports of hog pro-
ducts, wheat. flour, and Indian
corn, have risen from SOS. 200 900
to $2l4, ,0oO,O 900.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT
And Highway Robbery

As Officer Patrick Ryan, of the day force
of police, was on his way to his house, No.
Ga Girod street, last night at about 10 o'clock,
he was set upon at the corner Of Front and
Girod streets, by about fifteen Of the United
States soldiers quartered in the Commercial
Hotel, situated at that point.
The soldiers were armed with clubs and re-
volvers, and they used them both, and though
Ryan fortunately escaped being shot (he was
fred at three or four timesl, he was brutally
and fearfully beaten and seriously injured.
The attack was undoubtedly made for the
purpose of robbing Ryan, as his pockets were
rifed and everything they contained taken
away from him.
Dr. Cooper, the City Physician, this morn,
ing visited the injured man, and pronounced
his wounds to be dangerous
The facts attendant upon the outrage have
been placed before the military authorities
but it has not yet transpired that they have
moved in the matter.
