UNITED STATES MINT.

Weare now enabled to publish complete table
of coinage and deposites at the Mint and all the
branches from the LIST of January down to the lat
instant. There has been an increase in the de-
posites Of gold for the eight months, shown in the
table, of little over 81 100000; this increase
would have been greater but for delay in one ar
rival at the close of August, which threw large
manifest forward into September. Thus the total
deposites at the Philadelphia Mint, for the expired
portion OF the current month"; amount to 81, l52 800

FROM THE NEW YORK EXPRESS

NJ. DE SoDRE, Brazilian Minister at Washing
ton, has been recalled by his Government. The
United States have offered him passage for him
self and family home in the steam frgate Saranac,
now fitting out especially for him at Philadelphia,
high compliment not often extended to foreign
ambassador, and an evidence Of consideration and
esteem both for the Minister and his master NJ
dc Sodre being gentleman in great favor with
every body in Washington, official and unofficial,
the hope is expressed that he is recalled only
to receive more marks of his Emperors favor, and
that he will come back clothed with the full powers
Of his high rank of Minister Plenipotentiary."

The Cheyalier PEREIRA DE SoDRE, late Charge
d'Afaires Of Brazil, left Washington on Saturday
last for New York, where he will, with his family
embark for his own country. We quote from the
New York express" the annexed paragraph as
expressing correctly the estimation in which Mr. de
S. is held in this city, short his residence has
been here; and as announcing the compliment to
him by which our Government has manifested its
personal kindness for him and its respect for his
country

and procured the use Of the Court
house for tho purpose. The lad sue

age, and the want Of volume aud
