We may here call attention to the remarkable fluctuation in the imports of dry goods, at this port, as presented in the aggregates for the first seven months of each year, as follows:

Every third year there has been an inevitable decline of imports to the same figure. In 1852, 1855, and 1858, a reaction and fall took place. Will the same happen next year?

The cash duties received at the port of New York, during the month of July, have been less than for the same period of 1859; they are reckoned, of course, upon the goods thrown on the market. We annex a comparative summary :—

Total since Jan. 1st $26,280,540 92 $14,476,418 $24,363,428 88 $22,843,741 The domestic exports from the port of New York for the month of July have been considerably larger than for the same month in any previous year. This arises from the large crops of cotton this year being supported by the revival of the breadstuff demand abroad, and this has carried the New York business to a high figure. The value of domestic produce exported exceeds that of last year by $2,600,000, while specie sent abroad is $3,400,000 less::-

The prospect is now that the improved demand for breadstuffs, and the lessened import, will cause the specie to reaccumulate in the country.

ENGLISH CUSTOMS DUTIES.

The following account of the gross product of the customs duties during the past year, contrasted with the three previous years, will possess peculiar interest, as the last of the period before the complete adoption of free trade. Each article is arranged in the order of the amount yielded, sugar being at the head of the list a place recently occupied by tobacco. Among the principal items which will never appear again-the duties having been entirely abolished-are silk manufactures, which gave £307,561; butter and cheese, which gave £154,243. and tallow, which gave £75,502; while among those upon which reductions will operate to the largest extent are timber, wine, spirits, and fruit :
