THE MINT.

The amount of golddust imported into the Sydney Branch
of the Royal Mint, from the Ist of January to the sth of
November, for the purpose of coinage, has been 291,925 oz.
During the same period the amount of coinage issued has
been 891,500 sovereigns, and 486,000 half-sovereigns. Total
value £1,134,000. The business of the Mint continues pay-
ing, and it will be observed that almost all the gold received
from our goldfields since Februaiy has found its way into
this establishment. During the month of January a large
quantity of gold was received from Victoria, but since then
the amount received has been limited.

The Escorts.—The quantity of golddust delivered by
the escorts from our several goldfields during the month of
October has been 22,037 ounces. Duringthe corresponding
month of 1857 the amount received was 15,189 ounces.
The increase in the receipts of the month is therefore 6,848
ounces, or about 45 per cent. For the 10 months of the
year 1857 the receipts amounted to 117,493 ounces. During
the same period of 1851 the quantity received has been
204,113 ounces. which is an increase of 86,620 ounces, or
over 72 per cent. in favour of the present year.
The amount of specie shipped by the Emeu for England
is 23,250 sovereigns and 201 ounces of gold-dust.
