The last official report of the Banks of Massachusetts gave the total number of banks in that State at 130, of which 30 were located in Boston. The capital stock of the 30 Boston banks was $16,760,000; of the 100 country banks, $16,505,000, making a total of $38,265,000. The total circulation was $19,694,697; the specie, $2,478,858; deposits, $13,839,904; discounts, $66,363,041.

The Bank of the State of Georgia has made up a statement to the 12th of December, which shows a capital of $1,500,000; circulation $1,616,906; deposits $572,843; discounts, &c. $2,870,861; specie $515,762.

We are now enabled to complete many of our statistical tables for the calendar year, 1851, and the review is full of interest. The imports at New York show a considerable increase over the previous year. In the annexed comparison they would seem to be less, owing to the fact that during most of the year 1850, the receipts of gold dust from California were included among the imports, and it is now difficult to separate them. In the imports for 1851, the item of specie includes only the receipts from Foreign ports. The California gold dust entered upon manifest in addition was $29,416,252, but even this does not include all of the receipts, as much was brought in private hands. This has been already seen in the deposits at the Mint.

In the foregoing tables we have included in the imports under the head of Dutiable, the goods entered for consumption, and the amount withdrawn from warehouse, which makes the total thrown upon the market, and comprises all which will pass into consumption. The goods which are entered for warehousing are either included in the withdrawn, or re-exported. We annex a comparison of all the particulars exclusive of specie :

IMPORTS AT NEW YORK, INCLUDING GOODS WAREHOUSED.

In the exports we included the dutiable and free foreign goods under one head as most of the dutiable were exported from bonded warehouse, and paid no duty. In the following summary we have separated all of the items::

EXPORTS AT NEW YORK-SHOWING DUTIABLE AND FREE FOREIGN GOODS.

The exports exhibit a falling off in every item, except specie, the shipments of which have largely increased.

The increase of imports at New York during the last year amounting, as seen above, to about $14,000,000, consist chiefly of general merchandise, as the imports of dry goods are only $2,027,831 greater for 1851, than for the previous year. The following tables will be found very interesting in this connection. The first shows the value and description of goods entered directly for consumption, to which the totals of the second table are added to make the entire value thrown upon the market. The third table exhibits the value and description of goods warehoused, from which the goods withdrawn are taken when wanted for consumption. Part of these are comprised in the foreign goods re-exported.
