“ The returns of the wheat crop, for many of the Western States, will not at all indicate the average crop of those States. This is especially the case with Obio, Indiana, and Illinois, from which, especially the former, the assistant marshals return a short crop,' to the extent of 50 per cent throughout the whole State. The shortness of the wheat crop in Obio, in 1849, is verified by returns made during the subsequent season, by authority of the Legislature. The causes which affected the wheat crop in those States were not without their influence in reducing that of Western Virginia and Western Pennsylvania to some considerable extent."

THE BRITISI TEA TRADE. The subject of the tea trade, in all its bearings, has been almost exhausted in former numbers of the Merchants' Magazine, but we cannot resist the temptation of publishing from the circular of Messes. LITTLEDALE, the subjoined table, showing its extraordinary increase in the United Kingdom :

The imports for the year, into the United Kingdom, will be about 72,000,000 lbs. against 48,300,000 lbs. in 1850. Deliveries, 59,000,000 lbs., against 56,400,000 lbs, in 1850. Stocks, 48,000,000 lbs., against 34,500,000 in 1850.

We perceive here that the importations in a single year have increased 23,700,000 lbs., or an increase within 7,000,000 lbs. of the entire importations into the United States during the year 1851. IMPORT, RE-EXPORT, AND CONSUMPTION OF FOREIGN MERCHANDISE OF THE

THE COMMERCE OF BELFAST, IRELAND. The total value of the annual exports from Belfast, linens and linen yarns, muslins, and other cotton manufactures, cured provisions, flax and tow, &c., is about £5,600,000. The chief imports are grain, timber, tlax, flaxseed, and sugar. The most important branch of Commerce is the cross-channel trade; but there is, also, an extensive trade with the United States ana Canada, the West Indies, the Mediterranean, the Baltic, Archangel, and of late a limited traffic with China and the East Indies. In 1850 the shipping of the port numbered 4,490 vessels, tonnage 624,!13, yielding a revenue of £29,012. The gross produce of Customs' duties during the same period was £352,658 ; the amount of postage collected in the town, £7,246 78. 3d.; the stamp duties received on the Belfast collection, £26,991; and the inland revenue collected in the district, £206,278.

MACKEREL FISHERY OF MASSACHUSETTS. The following tabular statement is obtained through the returns made by the dep. uty inspectors to Charles Maro, the inspector general of fish for the commonwealth of Massachusetts, for the year 1851, and therefore may be relied upon as correct. It shows at a glance the extent and localities of that branch of commercial enterprise, the number of vessels owned in Massachusetts and other States engaged in the mackerel fishery, and which have packed their mackerel in the State of Massachusetts, the amount of tonnage, and the number of men and boys employed on board these vessels.

TIDAL SIGNALS AT DOVOR HARBOR. . Notice is hereby given, that on and after the first day of January, 1852, the following tidal signals will be exhibited at Dovor harbour instead of those now in use:

Depth of water on ebb and flow by index at north pier—7 to 10 feet. Day signalsRed flag with a black ball under at the customary staff on the south pier. Night signals-- A small low red light on the north pier, and a similar light on the outer extremity of the south pier. Depth of water on ebb and flow by index at north pier-10 to 13 feet. Day signals— Red flag on the same staff. Night signals—The lights now in use, viz.: two large red lights on the signal staffs of the south pier, and the above-mentioned small low red light on the north pier. Depth of water on ebb and flow by index at north pier-13 feet and upward. Day signals--Red flag with a black ball over on the like staff. Night signals-Lights as above.

A brilliant green light projecting its rays toward the harbor's mouth will be exhibited throughout the night, by the clock-tower in the inner part of the harbor, and will show midway between the piers.

No signal to ships in general will be made between seven feet at ebb and seven feet at flood, by the index board, and whenever, at other times, the harbor is inaccessible to vessels, the flag (if in the day) will be pulled down, and (if at night) the light or lights on the south pier will be extinguished, and only upon the former being rehoisted, or the latter relighted, can the barbor be entered. By order of the honorable warden and assistants of Dovor harbor.

G. T. THOMPSON, Registrar. Dovor, Sept. 11, 1851.
