Statement of stock of cotton on hand at Bremen, January, 1863.

The 22d section of the "act increasing, temporarily, the duties on imports and for other purposes," stating that the privilege of purchasing supplies from the public warehouses duty free is extended, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe to the vessels-of-war of any nation, in ports of the United States, which may reciprocate such privileges towards the vessels of the United States in its ports, cannot be applied to Bremen, for there are no public warehouses here. In fact, the whole state of Bremen can be regarded as a free warehouse, and the ships and vessels-of-war of all nations have a right to purchase their supplies in the said state duty free.

(Transmitted by United States consul general, Frankfort.) Report of the commerce of the free city of Lubeck.

DECEMBER 1, 1861.

The annexed few tables, marked I, II, III, IV, and V, are extracted from the "Official Report on the Commerce of Lubeck in 1860," published by the Board of Commerce of that little republic, and furnish a statistical review of the commerce and navigation of Lubeck in 1860, compared with preceding years. It appears from the statement that the commercial intercourse of Lubeck has not inconsiderably improved during the last year, notwithstanding the unfavorable state of political affairs, as well as that of commerce and industry generally. The value of the goods imported has increased, when compared with that of the preceding year, more than three millions of thalers, or 2,100,000 dollars. The value of the exports would, no doubt, show a similar increase when the latter were subjected to an official control and published like the imports. The number of the vessels which arrived increased from 1,056, in 1859, to 1,134, and their weight of cargo from 79,090 to 83,457 lasts. Especially towards the end of the shipping season the quantity of goods to be shipped was so extensive that the regular steamer lines proved insufficient for the transport of the same, and extra steamers had to be chartered. This is considered a proof that the route via Lubeck is more and more frequently made use of for the mediation of the intercourse between the northern and western countries of Europe. At any rate, however, the same will become a great deal more important as soon as the intended improvements of the railroad connexion with Hamburg and the interior of Germany have been realized.

Also the domestic intercourse of Lubeck has again increased last year-the transport of goods on the railroad between Lubeck and Buchen amounting, in 1852, to 195,896 quintals; in 1855, to 1,496,568; in 1857, to 1,617,790; in 1859, to 1,749,516; and in 1860, to 1,775,786 quintals. The number of passengers forwarded was 146,161, against 138,474 in 1859, whilst the total gross receipts amounted to 217,776 thalers, ($152,445,) or 11,296 thalers ($7,910) more than the preceding year.

The direct trade of Lubeck with the United States is of no importance, as all her commercial transactions in that direction are monopolized by Hamburg and England.
