But util then the efforts creased employment in the carrying trade Others supposed that our agricultural interest would be greatly benefitted by the increased demand it would create for our breadstaffs and provisions. Others, again, said that it would help our securities in the end; because, should the war become general in Europe, Baropeaus would send their money to this side for safer investment and at higher rates of interest. To there favorable aspects of the question was ad. ded the theory that the demand for our great staple, cotton, in Europe would be little inter- fered with, especially in England and France, as their trade with all the commercial ports on the Atlantic and Pacific would remain open to The total of our exports in 1851 amounted to $1,892,782, of which $1,187,116 was carried in American vessels. | The increase in ten ycars, from 1842 to 1852, was as follows:— In forcign produce. in domestic produce sete $69 06 $1 1,155,837 00 Total exports ......++-+ cesses eeee81,155,906 06 Our imports from Russia, in 1851, amounted to $1,392,782, of which $1,007,981 was brought in American veseels, Had peace continued, our exports aud imports would ere this have probably, at the same ratio of increase, reached about $2,000,000 each way.

They argued that no great disturbance of the social elements of trade by war could vanced nations of Europe without its effects being extended to this country—that the de- rangement of one portion of the commercial compact of nations would disturb the whole— that the war would lead to large loans, at ad- vanced rates of interest, which would induce their own citizens to invest in them, instead of foreign securities—that trade and revenue would fall off with the Allies, the taxes be in- creased and money rendered scarce and high —that the trade with the United States would be lessened, while the agricultural and ship- ping interests would receive no permanent benefit, and our trade with Russia, like that of France and England with her, be cut off. So far as the war has progressed neither set of opinions have been fully sustained. Like FPiox wanufactures.

The whole amount of raw cotton and cotton goods taken by Russia in 1852-'53 was estimated at not less, probably, than about five or eight millions of dollars, which in effect is the amount of loss in the consumption of cotton sustained by the producers of cotton through the Russian war. But against this it must be borne in mind that considerable quan- tities of cotton have continued to reach Ruz- sia overland through Germany, And more- assume this form:—Crawford, now Judge of the Crimina’ Court, will be promoted, and Radcliffe appointed on tha criminal bench.

We present elsewhere a list of the candidates whose | democratic party, chances of snecess seem the best, to which the yeader is referred. Patience and a brief lapse of ‘time will settle these matters decisively, it not sutis- Mactorily, for all parties. From Maryland we have some additional returns. Jn the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Congres- sional districts the Know Nothing candidates have been elected. In the Sixth district, Bowie (whig) is probably elected. The First district only remains to be heard from. In Baltimore city the entire American ticket is elected. From Wisconsin the reports come in slowly. Par- tial returns from thirteen counties ‘show that Bar- stow (dem.), for Governor, leads Bashford (rep.) about one thousand votes. William Porcher Miles, candidate of the Southern rights party, has been elected Mayor of Charlesten dey 1,600 majority. The European mails brought by the steamer Asia, reached this city at a late last night. Of her news we find nothing in our files of special interest that was not embraced in our telegraphic summary, published yesterday morning. Jt appears probable, however, that the Russians would soon be forced to come to a stand, when an important battle would ensue. Majors Delafieldand Mordecai, and Captain M'Clelland, the officers of the United States army sent out to watch the progress of affairs in the Cri- and.of Hale, of 1852. The substantial reseue of New Work (what- evermay be the precise results) from the Seward coalition, following as this event does the over- throw of the same seditieus conspirators in Pennsylvania, and accompanied as it is by their-defeat in Massachusetts, breaks down the sectional barrier of slavery which they have been laboring to erect between the North and the South, and “opens up” the North to the American parity and _ the upon 2 rational ticket and upon national principles, It relieves the American party from the ineubus and the odium of their late associations with the Sew- ard abolition disunionists, ‘and places the Know Nothings of the North in suchdirect and decided entagonism to Seward and his parti- zans that there isno danger of their fusing again. This wholesome divorcement was only partially effected in Ohio--hence the election of Chase; but the late results in Pennsylvania, Massachusetis, and especially in New York, will be very apt, within the momentuous twelve months before us, to make a clean divi- sion between the Know Nothings and the black republicans, even of Ohio, which will reduce the latter party in that State to a mere squad of guerrillas in the Presidential election. In this view, the American party of New York, whether they bave or have not elected their whole State ticket, have ‘achieved a great eud significant triumph—great, becanse it opens a new chapter in the manceuvres of all parties for the succession, and because it re- vives the late overclonded prospects of the Know Nothings-—significant, because it sub- matic arrangements recently concluded be- tween the Western Powers and Spain. Next, St. Domingo has given rise to a misun- derstanding between the two goveraments ; Great Britain insisting on the right to inter- fere in the affairs of the native authorities, the United States resisting this interference on grounds of priuciple, and demanding that no forcign Power should presume to contro) the insular government, Then, we hear from Washington that the State Department has received notice from the Minister to London that the British government have formally and detinitely refused to recog- nize the construction put upen the Clayton- Bulwer treaty by the American diplomatists. This opens quite a number of grounds of quar- rel. It may be made to amount to a positive re- cognition by the British governuent of the Mosquito King, and an establishment of o British colony in Honduras. In connection with the Walker and Kinney movements in Central Americ: authorities in that region and the American adventurers who hawe migrated thither to civilize and colonize the country. Viewwe its bearing Greyiewn, it may assume the color of a menace of Eurepean interference in case the govern- ment of this country should hereafter presume to meddle with whatever independent commu- nities or nesis of pirates may choose to settle on the Central American coast and claim the protection of Great Britain. In a word, the nullification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty places Great Britain in a position from which din a, it is not unlikely to precipi- tate a collision between the British consular gs on the recent bombardment of in 1854, though a bad crop year, neither breadstuffs nor provisions underwent any mate- rial change in prices until late in the first quarter of 1855; and the shipping interest was dull the whole of 1854 and until late in the summer of 1855, with scarcely a precedent in its history. This autumn, after the war has existed for over twelve months, with the largest crop hitherto made in the country, we find there is a great demand athigh rates for breadstuffs, with a great rise also in the rates of freights, The effects of the war upon our money interest have been less deleterious than had been anticipated by one party, and not so favorable as predicted by the other. When it became apparent that war would ensue, there was a rush made by speculators for Russian articles of commerce—such as tal- low, hemp, iron, bristles, &., which were free ly bought up and held for higher prices. But the result to many of them proved less ble than was then anticipated, for it was soon found that those arti¢les continued to find an outlet from Russia through Prussian ports, b: ing conveyed hither by land transportation, and that their prices were, to some extent, kep down, even in English and Freach markets, a¢ well as in the United States, Although the advance in Russian articles of export since the war began, has been | yet it has not een equal to what many operators expected. To show how far the prevailing war has af. fected prices in this market, we submit the ao nexed table, which gives them on the 2d No: vember, 1853, before the war, and on the 2d of November, a year after the declara tion of the w ‘avora counterbalanced by the substitution of cotton for many purposes for which hemp and flax were formerly used. Besides, the war itself has greatly enhanced the consumption of cot- ton cloths for army clothing, tents, &c, We find tbat its consumption is also increased by the more extensive adoption of cotton cordage and cotton sails, for the use of merchant ves- sels as well as by those of war. The interruption of tobacco exports to Rus- sia has not affected its price in the least. The article, however, was never higher ; it no doubt continues to reach Russia without stint through Germany, The loss of American tonnage employed in the direct trade to Russia, has been some- thing; but it is a mere bagatelle compared to the vast demand created for American ship- ping in other directions—as transports for the Allies, and in the present demand for the freightage of breadstufis and cotton to Europe. Our export of raw cotton to Russia was re- spectable, and on the increase, yet it was a | mere trifle compared to the amount taken by | England. In 1851 the value of our cotton j taken by England was 363,000,000, and to Russia, $1,297,104. The immense amount of cotton worked up by the former into coiton fabrics, yet finds an unobstructed market in every part of the world, save in Russia, which has tended to sustain the value of our great staple in the face of the greatest war of modern times. Beyond some fluctuation in monetary affairs, we cannot discover, if a balance was \ struck at the present time, but that the | United States would be found thus far a large mation, and our hotels are rapidly filling up with Sena~ tors and members, The following isa list of those wha have engaged quarters for the season at Willard’s Ho,. tel:—Hon.
