ports from the country for tho same period were
$188.000,000 —showing an excess of imports
over exports of $22,000,000. The exports as

than thirty-live millions have gone forward
since January last to this date.
Li ne-of-Battle Ships. —The Boston Courier
| says that there are now at the Navy Yard in that
harbor three great ships of the-line—the Ohio,
the \ ermont and the \ irgina. Each one of
them may be said to be remarkable for its model,
its size and accommodations, the excellence of
the maferials ol which it is composed, its strength
and fitness for sea and battle. They are called
7 l's, but are capable of carrying one hundred and
ten guns each, together with a complement of one
thousand men, and all the provisions, stores and
I munitions, for a three year's cruise, not omitting
twenty tons of powder for each vessel.
American \\ ine —The cultivation ofthe grape

Regatta of all Nations.
The soreness of defeat still shows itself in the
members of the nautical profession in England,
in consequence of the American triumphs in
the recent Yacht race. The idea of superiority
in any form or degree on the element which has
been the great theatre of British eminence, is
not to endured. Pre-eminent has been the
only word admitted in the English naval vo
cabulary, whilst measuring the relative merits
of building, navigating or righting ships. This
term has lost its spell, which kept other nations
from the field of competition, and silently resign
ed the superiority to one. The latest propo
sition to test the relative merits of different coun
tries has been made by- proposing a grand Re
gatta of all nations which as the great Exhibi
tion brought all the industrial capacities of
countries into rivalry, so a Regatta, including
all. will bring into competition their maritime
capabilities. A British officer proposes this
scheme in the following terms:
"In England, the greatest naval power the
world ever knew, to allow herself beaten in her
own element? Our security, perhaps our very
existence as a free nation, depends upon our
naval superiority. Our pre-eminence as a com
mereial people will in future depend greatly
upon the speed of our ships. Let us then chal
lange the whole world to complete with us in
naval architecture at a grand regatta of all na
tions—comprehending men-of-war, merchant
ships, and yachts—in like manner as we have
done this year in arts, sciences, and manufac
tures. Let the different kinds of vessels be
classed, and let every vessel which enters for
the competition pay a certain sum of money to
wards a grand vase for the winning nation (hav
ing an appropriate inscription) as a national
trophy to lie placed in its academy of arts. Os
course there might lie, in addition, other prizes,
honorary or otherwise, for each class. I will
venture to say that such a grand regatta of all
nations would do more to improve shipbuilding
in one year, than it has been improved, compara
tively, lor the last hundred years.'’

Locomotive.—The schooner C. C. Stratton,
from Philadelphia, arrived on Sunday, has a lo
comotive on board lor the Georgia Railroad— lb.
It is a fact, but not generally known, that Un
common strawberry is a natural dentifrice; and
that its juice, without any previous preparation
whatever, dissolves tartareous incrustations on
the teetii, and makes the breath sweet and
agreeable.

H., for murdering her infant, 9 weeks old, by
throwing it from the window ofa railroad car,

Progress of American Mani i acti res
The New Vork Dry Goods Reporter, after, no
ticing the production of prints, after the style of
high priced French gooods, observes:
One alter another the manufacturers of Eu
rope are obliged to retire from the field, leaving
American producers to supply American con
sumers. Flist we obtained the market for brown
cottons, and the production of bleached goods
followed as a natural consequence. YVe then at
tempted prints. The victory on these goods is
within our grasp already. Importer alter im
portationof the British article. YVe next at
tempted the casaitnere fabric, and have reduced
the importation so low, that none beside those
engaged in supplying tailoiscan import them to
advantage, and even they dare not repeat an
order. The shawl making was believed by
Samutuel Lawrence, Esq., to be a business that
could be profitably carried on among ourselves.
The correctness of his judgment is attested by
those noble structures, the Bay State Mills and
those beautiful fabrics now exhibiting in the fair
ul the American Institute. Last though not
least, came the manufactures of de luines and
cashmeres. YVe have not as yet succeeded in
closing the market against the imported article,
but we have succeeded in commanding a full
share of the attention of purchasers, and ere
another year rolls its round, the foreign producer
w ill find that to maintain the volume ol his sales,
he must reduce the cost of production.

Our last semi-weekly report closed upon a very ac
tive demand. and factors were obtaining very full rates.
1 especially for grades ranging from strictly Middling, to
good Middling. On WVduesdav a remarkable lieavv
rain, which continued for several hours, caused almost
a total suspension of business, and barely 400 lmles \\ ere
disposed of. On Thursday the weather was still rainy.
* but moderately so, compared with the day previous. »nd
buyers again entered the market fref fy, taking about
6500 hales, at very full prices generally, and in some
1 instance* at a slight advance. Yesterday the raim
weather continued, but the inquiry was again active,
though it result** l in only a moderate amount of busi
ness. as the unfavorable weather for some days past has
prevented the sampling of the recent arrivals, and the
factors’ tables were but poorly supplied. The sales were
confined to about 3SOO bale.-: making a total for the past
three days of 16.700 bales. and for the week of 2*.200
. bale-, taken for (treat Britain. Franco, the Continent
and the North. In regard to prices, we have to rein irk
that they are very full generally, and for Middling to
good Middling, we advance | cent on our last quotations,
remarking at the same time that clean Cottons of strict
classification, occasionally command a fraction over
our highest figures, these descriptions being verv scarce,
and in request.

Coffee. —The absence of any considerable demand for
the West, or for speculation, has prevented much from
bt-ing done in Coffee during the past three days, but the
market has continued steady and holder-sgene;all v linn.
The sales have included only some 2500 bags, (making
about 12. >6O for the week) principally at 8 a cents,
