LONDON MONEY MARKET.

erable heaviness, and consols were last q uoted
at IS 4a95h for money, and 95Ra95H tor ac-
count. The other depar tments Of the Stock
Exchange showed a tendency to depression
The demand for discount continued active,
but occasional transactions took place below
the Bank minimum. Attention was drawn to
the fact that the bullion at the Bank OF Eng
land was nearly fS0000 below the lowest
amount touched throughout last year. This
is ascribed to the enormous importation and
the creation of the Indian securities. The
impression had got abroad that the Bank would
probably soon raise it's rate of discount The

to twenty-five millions sterling, nearly eight
times the amount needed.
The Times city article of last evening says
" Consols to-day declined d and several sales
were effected on the part OF the public. At the
same time there is no inherent weakness IN the
market from over supply of stock. and much
of the dOllness would disappear if there was
prospect of gold arrivals during the next
few days, sufficient To meet the constant drain
drawn from the Bank, and no considerable re-
ceipts are expected Immediately either from
New York or Australia. Owing to the sup
ply of money from dividends the demand for
discount has not been large, and at the Bank

transacted. The railway market also expe-

STATISTICS OF UUHITKD STATES COINAGE.
The Direc tor of the Mint of the United States
at Philadelphia, James r. Snowden, Esq, in
his report to the Secretary of the Treasury
for the last fiscal year ending June 30th, 1852
states:
The amount of bullion received at the sever
al minting establishments Of the United States
during the year was as follows: Gold, S29, $685.
$50 63 silver, $7,33G, 100 81. Total deposits,
$50. 500 900 81.
The coinage operations of the same period
Were as follows: Gold coins, ST. 2g6, or fine
gold bars, 3.1l3s76 70; silver coins, SO, 49,
400; silver bars, S6i6,23l A.; cent coins. $780,
GOO. Total coinage, $37 ,55O,5S5 Il, comprised
in So 55O,522 pieces of all denominations OF
coin.
This includes 80 eG6,s94 81 of re-deposits,
bars made at one Branch Mint having ben
some times coined at another deducting which,
the amount OF precious metals brought into
the Mint and its branches during the year was
T4 OOi ,U95 76.
The amount of gold-the production of the
mines of the United States-deposited during
the year was 81, ,2l3,557 l5 The silver of do
mestic production was S273, l67 AZ, the princi-
pal proportion of which was derived from
the gold deposits, being silver parted from ma
yegoid. The Lake Superior region has yield
ed us about $3U,0UO in silver. The mines OF
North Carolina have produced $23,0e0 of the
same metal. .L
The law of February 2l, 1857, has operated
effectually in retiring from circulation Span
ish and Mexican silver.
Since the passage of the act referred to the
Mint has received and melted Spanish and
Mexican fractions of dollar to the amount
OF 81 G20, ,997 of which the value of S546,3u5 was
deposited in exchange for cents of the new
issue. For this latter purpose, also, we have
received copper coins of the former issue to
the amount in value, by tale, of $95,2if.
The charge on gold coinage. and the profits
on the coinage of silver, and of cents, amount
ed to nearly $235, 900 This sum shows the
amount of money derived from the coinage
operations of the mint and its branches during
the year.
The director notices the amount of gold dol
lars issued, Sl10OO, ,UU. as too large for the de-
mands of circulation, and recommends the re-
call Of the thick dollars for re-coinage into
other denominations. ..s,.....
The amount of that coinage, issued from
lSl9 to 1853 was $ll.692204 Few or none of
these pieces have been exported, but a cOnsid-
erabie number must have been lost, aud some
melted down by jewelers.. Assuming, at the
utmost, that Gil ,0Ot 0Oe are extant, the loss on
the e-coinage of this amount would be S55, 900.
THE UNION MEETING AT LOUISVILLE, KY
We have heretofore noticed the grand banquet
in Louisville, on the oath Of January, given in
honor of the "congregated wisdom" of four or
five States-the Legislatures of Kentucky and
Tennessee, q delegation from the Ohio Legis-
lature and the State officers Of Indiana. The
Louisville journal, In a description Of the
festival, says:
The great Western States-the heart of the
Tennessee, Ohio and
1ndiana-have spoken in unmistakable terms;
voice has gone mp from the haliowed graves
of Ashland and the Hermitage; faction has
been disarmed, and but one spirit will in fu-
ture animate the iiege men Of these States, and
the spirit will re-echo in Numbering tones -
The Union, it must and shall be preseryed!n
The representative men OF four great States
have proclaimed their undying devotion TO the
Constitution, as it was beQueathed to us by
our fathers, and have branded rs q traitor
every man who wonld lay his impious hands
upon that ark Of our civil and religious iiber-
ties. fs
We anticipated great results from this meet
ing, and now, as We write, with our soul still
thrilled by the impassioned eloq uence and
stirred by the noble sentiments uttered, wear
the more fully convinced that it is we'll that
the great States met in council together, and
that patriotism so efecIuaIly disarmed fac
tion, and showed the loyalty Of the great
American heart to the laws aad the Constitu-
ton. s esss
God grant that our hopes may be realized,
and that the cath of January may ever here
after be remembered as the day when the West
resolved that the discord between the North
and South should be arrested, and that the an
