From the silver districts, (included in the Northern mines,) the total receipts for the past year were $12,433,915, against about $6,000,000 in 1862. were divided as follows: They The following table shows the value and destination of treasure shipment from the port of San Francisco during the past ten years-1854 to 1863 : Total...$341,659,147 $88,306,054 $24,957,524 $5,267,602 $3,516,010 $463,706,338 QUICKSILVER. The usual statistics of this metal have been witheld, and nothing is given but the comparative statement of exports, as follows: EXPORTS OF QUICKSILVER FROM SAN FRANCISCO. EXPORTS OF THE PRODUCTS OF CALIFORNIA. Including the export of treasure, the entire exports of the productions of the State of California, during the past three years, may be classified as follows: The aggregate value of exports of all descriptions, from the port of San Francisco, for the past three years, was as follows: DEPOSITS AND COINAGE AT THE BRANCH MINT. The deposits and coinage at the United States branch mint, San Francisco, during tho year 1863, were as follows: Expenses for the calendar year 1863, $301,511. This is an increase of $32,248 over the expenditures of the previous year, arising mainly from the fact that considerable amount of claims belonging to 1862 have been liquidated during the latter half of 1863, and also from the necessity of extensive repairs, If we add to this explanation the fact of the depreciation of Treasury notes, with which incidental and contingent expenses are paid, and the addition of twenty per cent to the wages of employees during the last part of 1863, it will be seen that the expenditures have been small in comparison with the amount of work done. 84,309 2,389,309 26,000 RECEIPTS OF PRODUCE AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK, FOR TEE YEAR ENDING APRIL 30, 1864.

THE RAILWAYS OF PORTUGAL. PORTUGAL has been behind all other states of Europe in the construction of railroads; but it appears from a just published official report that this delay is to be repaired by immense exertions to be made from the present time. On the 5th of May, 1860, a concession was granted to M. J. DE SALAMANCA for the construction of two great lines, the one running from Lisbon to Oporto, and the other from Lisbon to the Spanish frontier, near Badajos, in continuation of a projected railway from Madrid to the latter place. M. DE SALAMANCA undertook to complete both lines at a cost of 132,350 francs, or £2,294. per kilometre, at his own risk, but under the condition that the government should pay six per cent on the paid-up capital of the company formed by him; while he himself engaged to pay two per cent additional interest till the period of the opening of the railway. Notwithstanding this offer of eight per cent interest, the shares and debentures of M. DE SALAMANCA's company sold but slowly, the whole paidup capital of the concern amounting on the 31st of December, 1863, to the sum of 75,006,209 francs, or £3,000,248, divided as follows: 70,000 shares of 500 francs each..... 167,920 debentures... ..... .35,000,000 francs .40,006,209 66 The entire cost of the conceded lines was calculated at 83,000,000 of francs, or £3,320,000, so that M. DE SALAMANCA would be a loser to the extent of £319,752, if unable to raise a larger sum either in the shape of loans or in shares. But, on the other hand, a considerable gain accrues to him by the working of such parts of the line as are already finished, the whole profits of which go to him, with the sole obligation to pay two per cent to the shareholders. The latter enter into the possession of the two lines only when they are entirely finished. From the just published report of the company, or rather M. DE SALAMANCA, it appears that the line from Lisbon to the Spanish frontier has been completed in its whole length, over 275 kilometres, and is now open for traffic. The second line, however, from Lisbon to Oporto, of a length of 231 kilometres, is as yet in a backward state, though great efforts are made to open it partially, from the capital to the southern bank of the Douro, by the end of August, 1864. The building of a railway bridge over the Douro is calculated to take at least another year, or, perhaps, two; but it is hoped that this will not interfere with the actual conveyance of passengers and merchandise between the two most important towns of the kingdom. Bitter complaints are raised in the report of the slow progress made in the Construction of the line from Badajos to the Spanish capital, without which the road from Lisbon to Badajos is believed to be all but useless. It is said that the works here are nearly at a standstill, there being only about twenty-five kilo |
