She has brought 87 passengers, and $1,000,000 in specie on freight. The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, arrived at Boston on the 9th inst. The Daniel Webster had arrived at New Orleans with Californian dates to the 16th of November, and $400,000 on freight. The Star of the West had left San Juan for New York with $1,456,000 on freight. The George Law had left Aspinwall, also for New York, with $1,500,000 in specie. The latest accounts from Halifax state that there was not the slightest hopes of saving the Hum boldt, her engines having settled through her bottom. Congress had adjourned for a few days as a mark of respect to the memory of the Hon. William Rufus King, late Vice-President of the United States and President of I.he Senate, who expired at his residence in Selma, Dallas county, Alabama, on the 18th of last April. Most of the New York papers speak favourably of the President's message. Mitchell, the " Irish lion," as he is called, has been feted in every possible way—on Thursday by the city authorities of Brooklyn. It has been re marked that these civic honours to Mitchell are rather insulting to England ; but shrewd politicians regard such ovations as merely fishing for the Irish vote at the next election. Whenever Mitchell gets a chance he is lavish in his abuse against England. The Missouri Legislature has before it a bill pro viding that no married man shall be allowed to endorse a note without the consent of his wife ; and that no endorsement shall be valid in law without such consent. Californian dates to the Isth November had been received, and 3,000,000 dollars are reported from that state en route to New York. Business at New York was altogether in a better position. Monetary affairs continued to improve, and business in the money market was in a more flourishing condition. Stocks showed more steadi ness. ii = 13 7 - 8 10 -10 i i - 6-P iDo - - Mid.

The reports of the Secretaries of the different departments of the Government occupy some thirty or more closely-printed columns in the newspapers. The following summary embraces all the points that are likely to interest European readers : REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES. The receipts of the the fiscal year, ending Jun e 30, 1853, were from customs, $58,931,865 ; lands, $1,667,085 ; miscellaneous, $738,624; total, $61,337,574 ; expenditures, $54,026,818 ; excess of receipts, $7, 310, 756; which, added to the balance on hand at the beginning of the year, makes a balance on hand at the end of the year, June 30, 1853, of $21,942,892. During the first quarter of the present year (ending Dec. 30), the receipts from customs were $19,718,822 ; from lands, ' $1,489,562 ; miscellaneous, $147,995 • total, $21,356,379. Expenditure same period, $15,081,384. Balance in Treasury, 30th Sept. last, $28,217,888. Estimated expenditures for the year ending June 30, 1854, $63,147,981. Estimated receipts for same year, after allowing for a reduction in the tariff, $66,266,604. The public (Federal) debt has been reduced to $56,336,157 52c. The amount of debt redeemed and purchased from 4th March last, to 3d December inst. is $12,722,779 75c. The Hon. Secretary states that the condition and prospects of the Treasury justify the ap plication of $15,000,000 more towards the purchase of the remaining portion of the debt. The premiums paid by the Goverment have varied from 81 to 21 per cent. according to the periods which the stock had to run. A very interesting portion of the Message to European readers is that which refers to the imports and exports. It appears that the value of imports during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1853, is $267,978,647, and of ex ports $230,452,250. Excess of imports, $37,526,317. This is the largest excess of imports that has occurred in any year since 1836. But, says the Secretary. "a fair estimate for profits on our exports and the freight of our vessels would cast the balance of this account in our favour, without estimating the money brought in by emigrants, of which no account is taken." The tariff is also a subject of vital importance. It is proposed to remove the duties entirely from certain articles of import which now yield a revenue of about $8,000,000. Also to arrange the articles which will still continue to pay duty into two classes, the one class to pay 100 pe r cen t. d u ty, an d the other class 25 per cent. It was calculated that these modifications ,to the tariff (to go into effect Ist January, 1855), will re duce the revenue to about $45,000,000 from customs, below which it is not proposed to go until the public debt is paid. Among the articles recommended to be thrown into the free list, are the raw materials used in our manufactories. Also salt, on which the average revenue for the last five years amounted to only 232,2841., while the usual fishing bounties, for which the salt duty is made a pretext, amount to 289,4131. With the duty on salt it is proposed to repeal also the fishing bounties. S. Eastern (Reading Ann.,) of £L 08.6 d. S.Yorksh.4p.c. Guar. Waterfd. &Kil Ic. 6p. e. York Newcastle and Berwiek,4 p.c.Pref.

On the subject of the United States Mint at Philadel phia, &c., the Secretary gives its entire coinage from its origin to the Ist of October last. The whole coinage had been $370,008,192 50c. The gold coinage from first January last to the first of October was $46,998,945 60c. and the silver coinage $7,996,225. n . Within „ four years, $135, 872, 095 75c., has been added to the gold and silver coin of the lltuntry, over and above what has been exported, without including what has been brought by immigrants. A branch mint has been contracted for at San Francisco, and will be in working order by the Ist of February next. It is officially stated that the property in Wall-street, New York, adjoining the Custom-house, and lately occupied by the Bank of the State and the Bank of Commerce, has been leased by the Government as an Assay-office at $53,000 per annum for two years, with the privilege of purchasing within two years at $580,000.

The actual strength of the United States army is only 10,417 men, 8378 of whom are employed on the frontiers of Mexico, or on their march thith er . Th e authorised strength of the army is 13,821 men. Except in Cali. fornia and Oregon, Indian depredations are becomi ng less frequent, and new posts for better protection are to be established. The depredations in Texas have been mostly committed by Indians from Mexico. It is the intention of the department to strengthen the force on the Rio Grande, for although a peaoe has been gained there, no assurance of its co n ti nuance can b e b ad, except by the presence of a large force. With an army three times as large as ours, it would be imp oss ibl e t o protect the frontiers, and the department intends to concentrate large bodies of troops on important points, and have a less number of small detachments. More adequate appropriations for fortifications are urged, and arrangements for Texas and the Pacific are immediately necessary. Better means for conveying public stores are also needed, and 4,600 recruits are required. The Secretary then recommends at length an increased pay to the soldiers. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. This document advocates a re-organisation of the navy, and recommends the appropriation of five millions for building several steam-propeller frigates. He says there are not forty vessels which could be brought into service in ninety days, if needed. In advocating the construction of steam-propellers, he continues : "I recommend, therefore, that the department be authorised to have constructed at least six first-class steam frigates —propellers. The opinion is entertained that that number may be built in our several yards in addition to the work now going on, and the repairs usually needed on the return of vessels from longvoyages. It is estimated that they will cost between four and five millions of dollars, and can be built in about 20 months. With the exception of some deficiency in the supply of white oak and yellow pine, which can be without much difficulty procured, we have on hand at the various yards, ample materials to accomplish what is recom mended. It will be perceived, on referring to the esti mates of the Bureau of Construction, that an estimate is made of the entire cost?" Several unfinished vessels onthe stocks are to be com pleted according to modern improvements, and he says : — "Should these recommendations be adopted our naval force will be strengthened by the addition of two first class sailing frigates, and of seven first-class steam frigates, capable of mounting 50 guns each, there being no steamer a t present of more than ten guns. My opinion is, it would be sound policy to dispose of such vessels as are deemed unfit for service as vessels of war." This branch of the report concludes with a recommenda tion for tho establishment of machine shops, and an in crease of enlistment men from the present number -7,500—t0 10,000. Under the head "Re -organisation of the Navy," Secretary Dobbin recommends a retired list, on reduced pay, for the faithful who have become firm ; the dis charge of the inefficient who have no claim on the bounty of their Government for services rendered ; promotion regulated by capacity and merit, and not by mere senio rity of commission ; pay to some extent controlled by sea service. A board of officers of various grades, to be selected by the President, can be convened periodically, to report to him the names of those who, in their judg ment, should be made subjects of the rules prescribed ; but their report to be binding on the President only so far as he deems proper. A system of rewards and punishments to the sailors, and honourable discharge, is suggested as a means of encouraging more permanent enlistments, &c. The Secretary is decidedly opposed to the restoration of flogging in the navy. He also calls attention to the Naval Academy, navy yards, &c., and, with regard to the basin and railway at San Francisco, for which an appropriation was made last Congress, leaving the con struction of the work discretionary with the Secretary of the Navy, he considers, although it would be useful, it is not necessary. THE POS TMASTER -GENERAL'S REPORT. The expenditures of this department for the year have been $7,932,756 50c.; the gross revenue, including ap propriation of $700,000, has been $5,940,724 70c. The chief items of expenditure were $4,906,308 for transpor tion • $1,406,477 f or compensation to postmasters; $414 ' ,525 for additional compensation, under act of 1851; $502,820 for clerks of offices ; $113,017 for letter carriers ; $139,592 for British postages ; $76,346 for advertising; $71,056 for blanks; $49,303 for mail bags, &c. The means to supply the deficiency of revenue fell short by the sum of $545, 445. The revenue from newspapers, pamphlets, &c., which had risen from $608,765, in 1845, to $1,035,130, in 1851, fell off after the reduction of rates in that year to $789,246 in 1852, and in 1853 was only $611,333. It is therefore stated that the act of 1851 has not met the expectations of its friends, and at the same time the expenses of transportation have in creased from $3,538,063 in 1351, to $4,906,308. There are 23,320 post-offices in the United States, 255 of which are of a high class. At the close of the fiscal year, ending the 30th June last, there were in operation within the United States, 6,692 mail routes. The aggregate length wa.c 9.17,743 miles, and 5,583 contracts employed thereon. The annual transportation of the mails on those routes was 61,392,542 miles, and the annual cost thereof, $4,495,968 ; being about seven cents two mills per mile. Of these 61,892,542 miles of annual transporta tion, 12,986,705 miles are required to be performed on railroads, at a cost of $1,601,321, being about twelve cents three mills per mile; 6,685,065 miles in steam boats, at a cost of $632,368, being about nine cents four mills per mile ; 21,330,326 miles in mchesy at a cost of $1,206,958, being about five cents six mills per mile ; and 20,890,446 miles in modes not specified, at a cost of $1,055,313, being about five cents per milk The expenditures of the department during the last fiscal year were, $7,982,758. The gross revenue 4- 0 m all sources was $5,940,724. It appears from the foregoing statement that th, gross revenue of the year ending June 30, 1853, falls short of the expenditure by the sum of $2,042,031. Thus we find the cheap postage system creating an actual deficit in the revenue of the department of nearly $3,000,000. The last Cheap Postage Act gives post masters, in certain cases, an extra commission of 20 per cent., which costs about half a million a year. The Eu ropean mail service has cost immensely more than the receipts amount to, and the Californian mail service costs two-thirds more than it pays. Postages on newspapers, under last reduction, have fallen off $400,000. But what of all this ? Better the Treasury should pay than the diffusion of intelligence be suspended.
