"The amount Of gold received at Nsg
York from California during the present
year is $40,3l9,92 which is 81, ,369, ,595
less than was received last year."-M Y
Herald.
In answer to the above, the San Francis
co Herald, of Feb. 10th, 1851 says, II b,
possibly, true that there has been falling
of in the imports of gold from California
at the port of New York of about million
and half during the past year; but vs
have nevertheless exported during the same
period up,oards Of sir millions more than IN
1855, and elercn millions more than they r.
ocired in Nelo York. The exports Of The
past year amounted to $50, ,9Sl, 1874, while
those of 1856 only reached the sun Of $44,.
64O,O9O. The falling off in the receipts
from California has been attributed in the
Eastern States to the gradual exhaustion
of the mines; bnt we on the contrary know
that the yield is increasing. There is every
reason to believe that a much larger am
cunt of gold will be taken out of our mines
this year than in any year since the disccv.
cry of gold. But though the yield this,
year will probably be less AgriculturOh
in fourishing condition, and our manu-
featuring interests are daily growing more
important. In few years our dependence
on the Eastern States will be very Light
