STATEMENT OF THE VALUE OF GOLD, OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTION, DEPOSITED AT THE MINT, AND ITS BRANCHES, FROM THEIR ORGANIZATION TO MAY 31ST, 1852. From the above it will be seen that the deposits of California gold at our mints, for coinage, since its first discovery up to the first of June, amounts in round numbers to $118,600,000; to this add $7,250,000 for June, and the amount thus in hand is $125,850,000. It is probably safe to estimate the total production of the California mines to date, at nearly $200,000,000. The exports of gold from New York to foreign ports since the 1st of January last, are $12,000,000, and from other ports about $2,000,000. The imports from abroad, regularly entered at the Custom-House, are about $1,500,000. In addition to this, a large sum in foreign coin is brought each month in the hands of immigrants. The total exports of coin from the country since the first receipts of gold from California, over and above the imports, still leave an increase of gold coin in this country of between forty and fifty millions of dollars; part of which has been added to the amounts on deposit in the banks, and the remainder is in circulation. We annex also a comparative statement of the deposits of gold at the mint and branches for the first five months of the last and current year : COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF THE RECEIPTS OF GOLD AT THE MINT AND BRANCHES IN THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 1851 AND 1852. We trust that Congress will, ere long, give us the new silver coin, made 7 per cent lighter than the present currency, so that it may be retained in the country. We also wish, if the dispute about a mint in this city must be continued, that an Assay Office might be established here at once, which would relieve our business community of the real difficulties connected with the present arrangement. The cost of such an establishment would be but trifling; the assayer might receive the dust on arrival, and the moment its value was ascertained, the proper officer give an order on the Assistant Treasurer here for the amount. The government could then transmit it to Philadelphia and coin it as its leisure; and when enough expense had been incurred in the useless effort to maintain a mint so far from the point where the gold arrives, it could be transferred to this city. THE ASSESSMENT LIST OF CONNECTICUT. It appears from a statement published in the New Haven Journal and Courier, that the assessment on the grand list of the State, bearing 3 per cent of the total value, with ten dollars for each taxable poll, excluding railroad and some other stocks, amounts this year (1852) to $5,802,953 18, being an increase of about $1,100,000 over the previous year, (1851.) Hartford County stands first, having the largest population, and nearly the greatest territorial extent, but New Haven has been rapidly gaining upon her of late years. In 1849, the list of Hartford County exceeded New Haven by $137,084; now it exceeds it only $43,871. The several counties stand as follows: The assessments on the Grand List of New Haven amount to...... $474.973 99 The list of New Haven amounts to nearly half the whole list of the county. It exceeds that of Hartford by $44,185 29, and Norwich, the next largest town, by over $300,000. The six cities of the State have an assessment of $1,503,377 83, or more than one-fourth of the whole wealth of the State. BANKS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
