We are indebted to the Charleston Courier for the following tabular statement of the exports of Cotton, Rice, and Lumber, from Charleston to different ports, for the years 1854 and 1855, years ending the 1st of September:— CONSUMPTION OF SARDINES IN THE UNITED STATES. From a letter received at the Department of State at Washington, and published in the Union, dated La Rochelle, France, April 18, 1855, we make the following extract, touching the "little fishes done in oil." Sardines, it will be seen, are quite an item of commerce and consumption. "The exportation of sardines to the United States is immense and increasing. The fisheries commence about the middle of May, and last until about the middle of October. The quantities consumed are enormous; each evening, upon the return of the fishing smacks, they can be bought for a few cents per dozen, and are an important part of the food of the poorer classes. These fish are better, and have a flavor when put up in oil which they otherwise have not. They are found in great plenty from the coast of Bretagne to the mouth of the Gasomre. La Rochelle is the principal depot for the fishery. The quantity exported to the United States in 1852, was 59,840 kilogrammes. In 1853 the quantity was 76,737 kilogrammes. Last summer, I am informed, the quantity exported to the United States exceeded 100,000 kilogrammes. Strange to say, more than one half of this importation is for California."
