Included in the foregoing table there was in coin and precious metals— At last, my report is finished. In my despatch No. 36 I explained the reason of my delay in sending it on. It is much more comprehensive than annual con sular reports usually are. I hope it will be considered very complete and intelligible. One thing you may rely upon: its correctness, having been prepared with great pains and drawn from high official sources. The statistics contained herein are embodied for the most part in the form of tabular statements. The tables are twenty-three in number, and relate to the commerce, navigation, and emigration of Hamburg.

I do not think I could have made this table clearer. It is certainly clearer than this explanation, and shows the imports of Hamburg for the year 1859 to amount to the astonishingly large sum of 571,180,850 mares banco, (a marc bauco is worth 37 cents,) and for the year 1860 to amount to 609,905,710 marcs banco. The table containing "all the imports from the United States" for the years 1859-'60 is of interest and value, as it gives the name, quantity, and value of |
