I have to report no changes, no modifications, in the commercial system of these provinces for the year past. The official reports of commerce and navigation, and other details concerning the commercial relations of the British North American provinces, have been forwarded to the department by our consul at Quebec, to which I would respectfully refer for any and all details contemplated by act of Congress on that subject. QUEBEC.-CHARLES S. OGDEN, Consul. DECEMBER 1, 1862. I have the honor to furnish the custom-house returns of imports (in round numbers) for the last eleven months; the same will not be published in official form for some time. The value of imports for the eleven months amounts to $46,800,000; for the corresponding period of 1861 it amounted to only $41,300,000; the increase therefore is $5,500,000. But this increase is wholly in free goods, the import of dutiable goods having declined. Thus the Increase in free goods is... $6,500,000 Decrease in dutiable goods. 1,000,000 Difference $5,500,000 In the first eleven months of 1861 the duties amounted to $4,650,000, and during the same period in 1862 to $4,700,000. The first five months in 1862 showed a decrease in duties of half a million of dollars. The duties in the month of November, 1861, amounted to $253,000; same month in 1862, to 8345,000. JANUARY 15, 1863. I have the honor to enclose to your department a comparative statement of the number and tonnage of steamers and sailing vessels for the port of Quebec, for the years 1861 and 1862, inward and outward, showing the number of men employed, countries from whence they came, and for which they have cle d, &c. As soon as the official report in all its details is issued, copies will be forwarded.
