Showing a grand total of $34,492,634 12. A TABLE SHOWING THE SHIPMENTS IN EACH MONTH OF 1851, AS ABOVE. The San Francisco Picayune publishes the following statement of gold dust manifested and shipped from that port, during the year ending December 31, 1851, which swells the amount to $39,627,307. We subjoin the statement of the Picayune, which purports to be taken from the Custom-house records : The difference is large, over five millions of dollars, but is easily accounted for from the known fact that the steamers are invariably cleared before the precise amount of treasure can by any possibility be known.

CONDITION OF THE NEW ORLEANS BANKS FEBRUARY 28, 1852. The following is a statement of the condition of the banks in New Orleans on the 28th of February, 1852, as stated officially by Charles Gayarre, Secretary of State, and George McWhorter, State Treasurer: The dividends and capital of the Boston, New York, and Philadelphia banks, for the year 1851, have been, according to a statement in the Bank Note Reporter, comparatively as follows: Average Capital. $22,710,000 28,051,450 Dividends. $1,744,375 2,510,566 747,500 Per cent. 7.68 9.93 9.67 The dividends in New York are on the working capital for the year. There are in New York ten banks, with nearly $7,000,000 of capital, which have been in operation but a few months, and have not yet declared full dividends. In Boston the increase of capital has been more rapid, and has, therefore, affected the average of dividends. Comparatively, the capitals and average dividends in Boston and New York have been as follows: The capital now in operation in New York is $34,603,100, and the amount and competition will probably affect materially the dividends for 1851.
