The Niagara Falls Gazette of the 10th inst. says of
tie business at that point:
There are few points in the United States where
LARGER custom house busress s transacted than at the
Suspepsion bridge. The amour, of duties collected
from December to the period in March when the Reel
lrocity treaty went into effect was $50 600. The
exports 10 Carads) from December to May were
sl25 OOO. The amount enter as 10 ranstu for West
eru States for the same period was 81, 100000. The
amount of foreign bonded goods Assing into Canada

We must also add that curing the Winter moRths
$50 O0O bbls. OF -four were sent through IA boad to
New-York. Il must be borne in mind that the raul
way bridge was not opened until about me middle OF
Mach from that time the business in }reased very
rapidly until the opening OF navigation and as las,
Winter was merely In tiatory to the business which
will hereafter be transacted al this point, some idea
may be formed Of what will be done the coming WIN
ter. The business is largest, of course during the
Winter months.
Our suggestion that the remittance Of gold by the
Northern Light was small on account of political
troubles in Nicaragua proved correct by the follow
ing tier from Lucas Turner & Co. to the Metropoli-
tan bank:
BAsKIso-HousE OF Lucas, Turner Co., I
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 70, lc5J J
IL Meioy, Jr., edshi, Metropolitan bank
MY DEAR SIR: The reason we send our specie by the
mail steamer Sonora, that a, laet ady1ces the hl-
buster Walker was in possession OF San Juan del sur
and the natives in alarm had Withdrawn their mules,
60 that delay may arise from that cause but another
and greater reason is that Walker may declare
pseuoo government, and levy tax, probably OF
hundred per cent on the transit OF treasure through
his dominions-a consequence not unlikely TO arise
from bis necessities if no. from the positive piratical
character be and his associates have already estab.
lished in their former government OF sonora. AT al
events we prefer not to subject our money TO the
mercy of such bandth. In case of such robbery,
question might arise as to the liability of the under
writers, so, though we prefer the Ncaragus route,
we have cbosen the Panama line till further news.
Yours truly, LUCAS, TURNER & Co.
At Boston, The Journal says:
Our banks have probably lost specie during the
week 10 New York, and there has been some disposi.
ton to curta ans, but the demand is so light from
business men that no inconvenience has been expert
Iced in money negotiations, and the rates o discount
remain about The same as a. the commencement OF
the last week. We quote frstc'ass paper las p
cents fair names 40; loans on call Tag.
At Philadelphia, the msney market is steady, aad
street rates rule at from u to y cent To- irsclass
names and at from 10 to 10 p cent for names less
fayorsbly known.
The Lake Sppsrior Journal 90 Oct. says:
The accounts from the mines show a steady increase
of production. Many mires that were considered
doubtful al the commencement OF the season have
BEEN worked and developed, showing that they were
worthy Of the confidence of the public. The amount
already sent below exceeds 5000 tuns It is worthy
OF note that most of the copper sent below this season
yitld greater b cent Of ingot copper. For example,
the shI merts from the Copper Falls mine for 1854
cd only about IS or IS y cent metal while
this season the average has been 60 to SO b cent. We
notice a large number Of mines among the shippers
this week. Among them is the Central. The Pc
wabc has made another shipment showing falr
prospect for limited workings. As soon as the means
necessary to develop the lode are received, this mine
will take a stand dmong the first in the country.
Portage and Isle RoJ al mines are well represented.
