COMMERCIAL STATISTICS. COMMERCE OF THE DANUBE IN 1851. In the Merchants' Magazine and Commercial Review for September, 1852, (vol. xxvii., pages 289-310,) we published an elaborate account of the Commerce of the Danube, with full statistics of the exports, imports, navigation, &c., for each year from 1837 to 1850, carefully prepared for our Journal by JOHN P. BROWN, Esq., Dragoman to the Legation of the United States at Constantinople. We are now indebted to the same authoritative source for a similar statement for the year 1851. We should be glad if all our Consuls and Commercial Agents abroad would follow the example of Mr. Brown, by furnishing us from time to time with the "facts and figures" which pertain to the trade, Commerce, and navigation (and whatever else may interest the merchant and statesman) of their several localities. Many of them, if not all, make such returns to the Department of State at Washington, where they are placed on file, and entirely lost to the commercial world. Mr. Brown, we believe, not only makes these returns to our government, but at the same time furnishes duplicates for our use:NOTE OF IMPORTATION INTO IBRAILA UP THE DANUBE IN 1851, IN ENGLISH WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, AND VALUE OF THE SAME IN STERLING.
