ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.
By the United States' Mail steam-ship Baltic,
Comstock commander, we have advices from New
York to the 10th instant. 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.

The market for breadstuffs was very unsteady,
owing to the advices from England. Prices were
inclined to recede, and very few transactions were
effected. Western Canal flour was barely supported
at 6 dols. 75c. to 6 dols. 87/c. ; Gennessee prime
wheat, 1 dol. 74c. to 1 dol. 76c. per 601bs. ; Indian
corn, round yellow, 'Bc. to 80c. per bushel, barely
supported.
In cotton there has been a fair amount of busi-
ness !done at New York, and former quotations
were steadily maintained. The following were the
rates on the day of the departure of the steamer New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, Mc.

The provision market had exhibited more brisk-
ness than of late, and prices showed greater firm-
ness.

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 June 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 per cent. duty, and 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.

The tonnage of the United States is stated at 4,407,010
tons, being an increase of 268,000 over last year.
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 Treasury report is accompanied by several official
documents, one of which shows that the tobacco, &c.
exported from the United States in 1852 and 1853 was
as follows :

The following is a very important statement exhibiting
the value of certain articles imported during the years
ending on the 30th June, 1852 and 1853 (after deducting
the re-exportations), and the amount of duty which ac-
crued on each, during the same periods respectively:-
1852. 1853.
