The exports in 1853 were 53,267,261 9, 1854 ft I 1855 „ 1856 „ _ The following figures sliow.the large proportion of Russian exports that Great Britain takes, which teaches us at the same time the exp, dieucy of setting to work at once to obtain a gold treaty of commerce with her; as soon as the tariff arrangements are concluded, and the necessity of providing ourselves during peace with other markets to buy in, co that we may be independent_ of her when polities require we should go to war with her. Of the 1,214,000 pouds of hemp which she exported in 1856, England took 820,800 pouds ; of 636,400 ponds of flax, 598,800 pouds ; of 2,574,121 ponds of tallow, 1,856,954 ; of 727,160 pouds of bones, 676,929 ; of 765,142 tchetwerts of wheat, 640,307 ; of 323,693 tchetwerts of oats, 297,494 ; and of 695,093 pouds of iron, nearly the whole namely, 641,435 ponds, besides 9,090 pouds of old iron. The navigation opened May sth (N.S. 17th), and was closed Nov. 22d (N.S. Dec. 4th).

The total number of arrivals at the port during 1856, as mentioned above, 3,374, shows, when compared with 1,921, that of 1853, the last.year before the war, an increase of 1,453.  Mr. James 'Lade a most able speech to the jury on behalf of the defendant, and a host of respectable witnesses were examined, who testified to the high character he had borne for a great number of years. The learned judge, in summing up, explained the law upon the question to the jury, and he observed that they by no means were required to say that perjury had been committed by the principal witnesses in support of the charge if they acquitted the defendant, but if it was not made out to their satisfaction that he had wilfully sworn that which he knew to he false it was their duty t 6 acquit him. The jury ietired, and after being ab-en . about tbre quarters of an hour they returned into court and gave a verdict of Isiot Guilty.  The woman with whom the prisoner cohabited gave evidence as to his ill wage and threats to murder her and her children. He was in the habit of ill-treating her. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, denied the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt said—You are a bad fellow, and I shall commit you to the House of Correction for one calendar month, and you m.y think your,,elf lucky that you are not treated in a more serious way. He was conveyed to prison.
