This gives a decline of over $19,000,000 in the shipment, as compared with last year, when, however, the export was unusually large. Notwithstanding this decline, the amount in the city does not vary materially from what it was at the same date last year. The operations of the assay-office for the month has not been important, as follows: 1,800 -United States.- Payments Coin. 647,000 1,910,000 932,000 90,000 142,500 70,000 45,000 Coin. Bullion. Coin.

The imports at the port for the month of September have been less than for the corresponding month last year, but they slightly exceed those of the same month in 1858. The quantity entered for warehouse has also been larger than last year, but the withdrawals have been much larger, showing a diminution of $2,400,000 in bond: FOREIGN IMPORTS AT NEW YORK IN SEPTEMBER.
