The able Report OF Mr., Phenix, from the Com
mittee on Comnere, in relation to the establish
ment Of Mint in New,York has bsen published,
and contains an irresistible array of facts bearing
on ibis question, which cannot fail to have weight
with Copgrens or the necessity Of Mint in this
CITY, any one who has marked the course OF the
specie and bullion movement for the last few years
car have a doubt, and nothing bat the opposition
Of interested parties haa prevented the establish,
ment OF ore We trust this act OF justice to New
York will not long be delayed. NeR-York is the
great center Of the Commerce Of the Ne# World
and she has claim for all the Government facti'
ties abe needs. We give below the important
portions OF the report Of Mr. Phenix, and commend
them to the attention OF our readers;
Itnppesrs that tho total amount of coinage OF all
descripiors at Philadelphia during psrIod OF hfty.
seven yeua-from 1898 to l849 ucluaiye-&mount-
ed to Sl29 1855 making an average OF 1885,.
se7 per annum and the value of she gold coined
and recoine at The mint in Philadelphia during the
Ssme time was 1853, 40 SIP, allowing m annual
gold coinage OF only 81 ,1l3, $50. This period en-
braces the large amount OF specie Introduced into
&
rope and other causes in l947, amounting 10 S24 49,
COO az well an the French indemnity OF S5,o00 0oV,
most of which Was probably sent 10 the min' as
Pbilsdelp his to be recolned.
1t has been estimated that the expense 10 the
Government for coinage at PhiadoIp hia ii aboue
90 100 per cent at Neg Orleans, G 60 100 per
cent; in North Carolina, per cent and 10 Geor-
eia, 9 81 100 per cent.
The inconv enieBce and expense attending coin
aee diotaAt from the port into which foreign coin
Ill ain
attracted the noli3e Of the mercantile community,
but of the Government
President Polk and Secretary Walker called tho
attention Of Congress- to the subject and the latter
recommended ii in the strongest terms.
1t seems 10 be forgotten by zone, tnat 10 great
commercial capital, where business TO the amount
of millions Of collars ID transacted from ten to three
O'clock how important time is, where the delay Of
dgy nay, often OF an hour, may be disastrous and
change the balance OF profs to osa mecohants and
men CT busine ss should be permitted to change
their bullion or foreign coin for American in feW

YORK; bat is limited in df1sing its benefits to Ame
rican commerce and exchanges by tue want OF
Mint. No Y it is subject to expense, yisk aud de
lay 10 put il in e. farm To- Circulating valuee that
delay being in itsef erea, loss of capital, while
the foreign coin, consisting of denominations IN
Anown to the great body Of our people, is almost
useless for tho purpose Of general circulation.
Hence it is that Mint at New York, to give aotv-
ity to our specie circulating capital By converting
it at once into American coin, would be OF vest i'm
portance to the Union.
But, whilst the department will nave coined
from the lat March, 1855, to LIST March, e49, more
than s400U0,O GOO the amount would have been aug
meased to the extent OF severRl millions of dollars
every year, if there had been branch of the mint
