The figures are given in round numbers, and are
drawn from statistics presented in detail, or are
estimates based upon the latest statistics and infor-
mation that could be obtained. The amount of
production for each country is stated by value in
dollars, not by weight, for nearly all the returns of
production of North and South America are made
by value.

According to this, the gold and silver in the
United States for 1853' was 286,000,000. The
production and exportation since then is known,
and the amount in the country at the close of 1868
was not materially different from $450,000,000. So
far as we have accurate data, I do not differ
from the best statistical accounts.
It appears, from another table, that Asia has
taken from Europe and America, in fourteen years,
$650,000,000 of geld and silver, which is nearly
$50,000,000 per annum.—Wall-street Journal.

NEWCASTLE ITSELF AGAIN.— After obstructing by al
Billy means in their power the good intentions of those
who evidently have the best interests of the town at heart,
the Herbage Committee (alias freemen), not usually green
sln anything likely to put money into their pockets, have at
last succumbed to the sensible propositions of the Grand
Stand Committee, which might just as well have been
accepted at the outset, and thereby saved the now defunct
Spring Meeting.
THE EPSOX SummEn MEETING.—The new races pro-
vided by Mr Studd have secured excellent entries, the
Si Mile Hill Handicap presenting an array of 88 sub-
scribers; while the Walton Manor Stakes is already a
most interesting item, with Blue Gown, Hermit, See-Saw,
Restitution, Brother to General Peel, Grimston, Tenedos,
Vespasian, Pretender, Laneret, Lumley, and Knight of the
Garter among the 37 engaged.
STREATHAM SECOND SPRING MEETING.—The Mitcham
Plato of 40 sow; closed with 9 entries, the 50 sovs Steeple-
chase Plate with 16, the Open Steeplechase Handicap with
11, the 5 sovs Steeplechase Stakes with 9, the Suburban
Plate with 11, the 5 soya Steeplechase Handicap with 13,
the Committee Plate with 16, and the Hunters' Handicap
with 4 subs.
The Brother to General Peel, 3 yrs, and the filly by
Young Melbourne, dam by Teddington out of Maid of
Masham, 3 yrs, who beat Tenedos, The ()Than, and
Duke of Beaufort in a 500 sovs Sweepstakes at Newmar-
ket, are entered for ensuing engagements by Mr. George

Payne.
Mr. A. Robertson's colours are tartan jacket, white cap;
and Mr. Samuda's have been altered to black, cerise sleeves
and cap, black belt.
ISLE or Wlonr.--TheGatcombe Manor Plate has closed
with 14 entries, and the Ryde Stakes 10. The Garrison

and Glasgow, 2 yrs.
GREEN SLEEVE.—This filly, who gained such a wide,
though uusustained, reputation by her Middle Park Plate
