LOUIS. The total debt of the city amounts to $1,536,096 10. A considerable portion of this has been incurred for river and harbor and for various city improvements, and has been judiciously expended. The above sum includes $75,000 of stock issued to the Pacific Railroad. The following is from the Controller's Report: * THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF DEBT FALLING DUE IN EACH YEAR. For the payment of harbor bonds, (117,000,) and the common sewer bonds, (42,000,) with the interest on the same, there is a fund provided by special tax. The total amount of receipts into the Treasury for the past year were $714,195 80. Of this sum, $348,275 81 were received from merchant and harbor taxes, $273,443 27 from loans, and the balance from various sources of permanent revenue, making the aggregate income, independent of loans, $440,752 63. The expenditures for the same period were $470,791 44. Of this sum over $100,000 have been expended for works of permanent improvement, such as the new Water Works, City Hall, Market House, etc., which will yield a handsome revenue when completed. The city will soon incur further contingent liabilities to the amount of about $1,000,000, being the aggregate of the loans voted to the Pacific Railroad, which is now in progress from St. Louis to the west line of the State, and to the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, from Cincinnati to the former city. Both of these works will be of great utility to the city; vastly more so than the amount of aid to be extended to them. But as there is good reason to believe that both projects will prove good investments, the stock taken in them by the city will not, in reality, be any additional burden upon its finances. CAPITAL AND DIVIDENDS OF BOSTON BANKS, APRIL, 1852. The following table shows the capital of the several banks in Boston, and the semiannual dividends declared and payable in that city on the 5th of April, 1852: By reference to a similar table, published in the Merchants' Magazine for November, 1851, (vol. xxv., page 314,) it appears that the amount of bank capital in October, 1851. was $23,660,000. The amount as above is $24,410,000, showing an increase of banking capital in Boston of $750,000, since October 1851. The Cochituate Bank pay on $150,000 on old capital-have increased $50,000 more since last dividend. The Faneuil Hall Bank went into operation September 1, 1851, on $250,000 paid in. Second assessment paid in October 1, 1851, $250,000. The above include all the dividends with the exception of the Suffolk Bank, which has not as yet been able to make up its accounts.
