A proposition is before Congress to abolish the Branch Mints. They have been in operation but a few years.
The following is from a Report of the Secretary of the United States Mints :
Amount of American coin and bullion exported from the 30th Sept. 1828 to 1839, $8.230,676.
Amount of coin and bullion imported into the United States from the 30th September, 1821 to 1839, $168,841,505.
Amount exported during the same period, $121,222,821.
The coinage at the Philadelphia Mint, since its establishment, in the year 1793 to the year 1839, inclusive, was-
Gold coin, $25,913,602 50.
Silver coin, $53,077,328 90.
The coinage in the years 1838 and 1839 at the Branch Mint in New Orleans, was, gold $23,000; silver, $280,403. At the Charlotte Branch Mint, during the same period, $246,932 50 were coined in gold ; and at the Dahlonega Branch Mint, $231,795.

The mines in the gold region of North Carolina are estimated to have yielded, since their discovery, $10,000,000 ; and their annual product at this time is about $400,000.
Mr. Bechtler's private manufactory of coin in the above region, pro- duced from January 1831 to February 1840, of coin $2,241,840 50, and 1,729,998 dwts. of fluxed gold. What means this ?
FIRES IN THE CITY OF NEW-YORK.
The Commissioners appointed to examine into the causes and origin of Fires happening in this city, published a report giving a statement of all the Fires which occurred between May 23, 1839 and the same date in 1840. During this period there were 192 Fires, being an aver- ge of one for every forty-eight hours ! Ninety-six Fires originated in brick and fire-proof buildings ; 83 in frame, and 12 in brick front. Of the whole number, 96 were caused, in the opinion of the Commissioners, by incendiarism ; 90 were the result of accident or carelessness, and 7 of causes not ascertained ; only 39 had their origin in dwelling-houses.
The value of property destroyed by Fire during the year, is $3,225,- 409! More than half this loss is attributed to incendiarism! The amount of insurance was $2,983,310, or more than seven-eights of the loss.

LONGWORTH'S NEW-YORK DIRECTORY.
FOR THE
65th year of American Independence.
The word lane, alley, slip, place, is generally expressed ; the word street, is not expressed, but understood ;- so also the word store, or counting-house ; the place of business is named first, then the place of residence.
h. stands for house-n. near-c. corner.
IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS TO THOSE USING THIS WORK.
Throughout this Directory the christian names of those where there are more than one of the same surname, are al- phabetically arranged. The firms are always placed at the last of those of the same name ; when females are known to be widows, they are so designated, and placed immediately preceding the firms ; and a strict alphabetical arrangement (carefully conformable to the proper spelling of the name) is scrupulously observed throughout this work.
The directions are for the most part plain, intelligible and to the point. The numerically uamed streets are particu- larized thus : No. 77 Sixteenth (street) n. Avenue 9th ; a figure being always used to designate the name of the Avenue, but figures are not used to designate names of streets ; and the printing is always thus-Avenue B, Avenue C, Avenue 6th, Avenue 3d ; but it is never 3d Avenue, or6th Avenue.
In searching for a name, the inquirer must know the pro- per spelling : a person seeking for - Lawrance will not find the one sought for if he take the direction appended to - Lawrence ; so also for - Harison, he should not seek among the Harrison ; for - Neilson, he should not look for - Nelson. The peculiarities and variations in the spelling of names are numerous : e. g .- Bailey, Bailly, Bai- lic, Baillie, Baily-Beatie, Beattie, Beatty, Beaty-Bogart, Bogert-Casey, Kasey-Curtis, Curtiss-Davies, Davis- Dean, Deane, Deen-Downes, Downs-Eliot, Elliot, Elliott, -Fagan, Fegan-Gausman, Gosman-Hallstead, Hall- sted, Halstead, Halsted-Jacques, Jaques-Kelley, Kelly- M.Cauley, Macauley-M.Kay, Mackay-Pearson, Pierson,

The cause of all charges of inaccuracy in this work, 99 times in 100, is attributable solely to the want of a knowledge of the correct spelling of the name sought for ; therefore, you must know how to spell the name, else censure not the. publisher if you yourself do not find it-mind this.
Observe, that the U and V are not interchangeably ar- ranged, but the U takes precedence : so also of I and J.
Any person who actually finds, or thinks that he has found an error or omission, is requested to give intelligible notice to the Editor.
