Actual total...

From this sum should be deducted $5,022, 000, which figures among the expenditures of the exchequer under the government guaranty of prizes in the lotteries, and which is included in the sum of $7, 645, 145 43 set down as expended by that department. This leaves a net revenue from that source of $1, 697, 200, and a total net revenue of $16, 105 96.

Table of the total production of sugar, consumption, &c.

But the quantity of sugar from which the United States, England, Europe, and the Mediterranean is to be supplied reaches only 1,273,000 tons. Thus, for the 300, 000, 000 souls who are dependent on it, it gives but about eight pounds per head, while the consumption in England is triple that quantity, and in the United States twenty pounds per head. The use of sugar in the world is rapidly increasing. In France it has doubled in thirty years. It has increased more than fifty per cent. in England in fifteen years. In the Zollverein it has quadrupled. The following table will show the imports and production of sugar in Great Britain, France, and the United States, during many years:

Consumption of sugar in Great Britain, France, and United States.

The production of beet-root sugar in France was for four years as

follows:

The figures for 1857 are only to March 1, and exceed by 54,000,000 kilogrammes the product of last year. The production in the Zollverein in 1855 was as follows:

Giving a total of 19,188,402. The increase in the consumption is immense. In 1841 the total for the three countries above named was 420,000 tons. This has increased to 800,000 tons, or a quantity nearly doubled, and the supply has come from Louisiana and from beet roots; the former failed considerably in the last two years, and, as a consequence, nearly convulsed the world. The value of sugar in the open market, then, seems to depend upon the precarious crop of Louisiana, since, when that fails, the prices rise all over the world.-U. S. Economist.

Table of number of Chinese shipped from China from 1847 to March 23, 1858.

The following table, derived from a reliable source, exhibits the total number of vessels that have arrived at this port since 1847 with Asiatics; their flags, tonnage, number of Asiatics shipped and landed, number and per centage of deaths, &c., which, I think, will not be deemed uninteresting:

From the foregoing it will be seen that the loss of life on the total number shipped actually amounts to 14 per cent.; and whilst the number of deaths of those brought hither in Portuguese ships amounts to only 2 per cent., the number brought in American ships amounts to 12 per cent., in British ships to 14 per cent., and in French ships to 13 per cent., whilst in Peruvian ships the number of deaths amounts to 38 per cent.
