this bureau, where the character of the business will permit, it is suggested to Congress whether it might not be advisable to discontinue the offices in a few districts and annex them to the adjoining ones, on the ground that the public sales recently inade at thein, or anticipated hereafter, are not sufficient to justify tbe expense of continuing them at distinct offices,

Several other subjects, suggested for consideration to the last Congress, and not finally acted upon, are again, respectfully, urged ow its attention, without going into a repetition of the views theo submitted in relation to them.

Among the principal, were, the change in the commencement of the fiscal year; a reorganization of the Treasury Department, especially to increase some of its checks; further control over some of its discretionary powers, by more specific regulations as to the deposite banks, and the keeping and disbursing of the public money; the revision of the laws as to the marine hospital fund; rebuilding the Treasury offices; legisla

vou op the provisoes in the act of July 14, 1832, anit olher points, to enforce the spirit of the present tariff; and making new provisions on the number and compensation of custom-house officers. In the report and bill connected with this last matter were include several suggestions for further changes in the present systein for collecting our revenue from custonis, to v:hich, on some future occasion, will' be subjoined such as have since occurred from additional experience and inquiries.

Various other subjects, specially-devolved on the head of this Department, have received the attention and labor which they appeared to-deserve; but, from the length to which this report has already extended, the proceedings in relation to them, will, at an early day, be separately communicated to Congress. All which is respectfully submitted.

REMARKS, 1. Prior to 1821, the Treasury Reports did not give the value of the Imports. Their value from 1795 to 1801 has been taken from Pitkin's Statistics. The value of those in 1815, from Seybert. The value of those in 1802, 1803, 1804, 1807, 1817, 1818, 1819, and those from 1790 to 1795, from manuscript notes and estimates now 'made in the Department. The value of those in 1805, 1806, 1808, 1809, 1810, 1811, 1812, 1813, 1814, 1816, and 1820, from calculations and comparisons with other years. The value of'the Imports froin 1821 to 1834, inclusive, has been taken from official documents.

In Blodget's Manual, page 62, is an estimate of Imports from 1790 to 1804; but it is too low in amount, being only as follows, though including the stock, furniture, &c. of emigrants. In 1790 817,500,000 In 1795 848,000,000 In 1900 .871,800,000 1791 19,000,000 1796

80,000,000 2. As the books of Exports from 1790 to 1803 were lost or destroyed during the war, (see letter of Register of Treasury, 28th October, 1834,) the amount of Exports of Foreign Merchandise from 1790 to 1796 have now been estimated in the Department from official returns. In Blodget's Manual, page 64, is a different estimate for those years, which is as follows: In 1790

values from 1803 to 1820 have been copied from Pitkin's Statistics, and are believed to be chiefly from official documents and from 1820 to 1834 from official returns on file. Free goods are included in the total of Exports, but not in any account of Imports previous to 1819. Hence, up to that year has been added for the consumption of free goods, In 1990 and 1791, 81,800,000 per annum. 1792 to 1795,

In 1797 to 1809, 82,000,000 per annum. 1,500,000 do. 1

In Blodget's Manual, page 64, the Exports of all kinds are given, and of Domestic Products. They do not differ much, except from 1790 to 1798, which are computed by him as follows:

OPERATIONS OF THE MINT IN 1835. The coinage executed during the year 1835, has amounted to g5,668,667, comprising $2,186,175 in gold coins, $3,443,003 in silver, and 839,489 in copper ; and composed of 15,996,342 pieces of coin, viz : Half eagles 371,534 pieces, making

$5,668,667

The deposites of gold within the year have amounted, in round uumbers, to $1,845,000, of which $698,000 was from bullion derived from the gold mines in the United States.

The amount of gold bullion in the vaults of the Mint, at the end of the year, was $77,880, all of which was deposited in December. The amount of silver bullion in the vaults was $780,600,- all of which was deposited in November and December.

The amount of gold coinage is less than that of 1834 by $1,769,095. This difference has arisen, in part, from the recoinage of American gold of the former ratio, which amounted, in 1834, to $1,067,000, and in 1835, to only $160,000.

The silver and the copper coinages are greater than in any former year, and the whole number of pieces struck exceeds that in any former year by more than four millions.

In consequence of an unusual demand for small silver coins, the amount of this coinage, for the last year, has been so great as nearly 10 equal the whole of that for the four years preceding.

Measures have been taken recently, and are now in progress, for introducing improvements in the processes and machinery of the Mint by which
