The value of goods remaining in warehouses (bonded) on the 31st Dec., 1847, was $4,853,591-upon which the duties amount to $1,524.887 16. As usual, New York claims nearly half the goods warehoused. The following shows the principal places where the goods are stored:

The movement of specie to and from the United States has, in the past four years, been as follows:

Total, 1546.

The number of patients treated and maintained wholly at the expense of the institution, the past year, has been 1163; which is an increase of 126 over last year, and of 285 over any previous year since the establishment of the Hospital. Since the last annual report, the west wing of the Hospital, which was formerly the insane department, has been thoroughly remodeled, so as to accommodate the female medical and surgical patients; and it will compare favorably, in point of comfort and convenience, with any similar establishment in the country, or perhaps in the world; but, in consequence of the limited resources of the institution, not more than half of each ward has been occupied, although suitable cases-enough to have filled the wing-have presented themselves: it will, however, be seen that there has been an increase of 75 female patients over those of last year, and an increase of patients of all classes of 290.

The room which now contains the medical library having become inadequate for its accommodation, the large front room in the second story of the centre building, 61 feet long by 23 wide, formerly occupied as the female medical ward, has been handsomely fitted up for its reception; the expense of which has been defrayed out of the "medical fund," arising from the sale of tickets of attendance on the practice of the house to medical students, and which, for many years, has been appropriated to the increase of the library. The managers of the Hospital will also hold their meetings in this room.

The whole number of patients admitted into the Hospital from its establishment, in 1752, to fourth month 22, 1848, has been 45,884; of whom 26,101 were poor people, maintained and treated at the expense of the institution. Of the above 45,884 patients there have been

NEW YORK STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

The Rochester Advertiser gives a synopsis of the Annual Report of the Managers of the State Lunatic Asylum, recently laid before the Legislature, which we copy below:

The Report states that there are 380 single rooms for patients; 24 for their attendants; 20 associated dormitories; 16 parlors; 12 dining rooms; 24 washing rooms; 24 clothes rooms. The farm attached has 133 acres-and, excepting one head gardener, it is all cultivated by the insane. The whole amount expended has been (from the commencement) $143,000,-$2 per week is the price for the public patients, and from $2,50 to $4 per week for pay patients. At the close of the last year the number of patients in the Asylum was:

The following table exhibits the season of the year when the patients are supposed to have been attacked with insanity, showing that more of them have become so in the month of May than in any other month:

Among the male inmates there are 346 farmers, 49 merchants, 44 scholars, and 17 attorneys, 1 military officer, and 1 editor. Among the females there are 40 school girls, 34 milliners, and 11 mantua makers. Of the total number, 746 were married; 760 single, 70 widows, and 33 widowers. Of the supposed causes of derangement, the following table is given:

By that part of the report touching the regulations of the Institution, we perceive that the attendants are required, if they receive insult and abusive lan

guage to keep cool, forbear to recriminate, threaten or dictate in the language of authority. Violent hands are never to be laid on a patient under any provocation. A blow is never to be returned.

The report states as a singular fact that in the past year, by a table accurately kept, it is ascertained that there have been an unusual number of murders in the State, and especially in the city of New York-double the number that occurred in 1846. None in the four northern counties.

STATISTICS OF PAUPERISM, CRIME, AND IGNORANCE.

The population of Sweden amounts to about 3,500,000 souls, and has only 3 mendicants in every 400 persons; while in Norway they reckon 5 out of every 100; Denmark 4; in Wirtemburg 5; in Switzerland 10; in Italy 13; in France 15; and in the British islands collectively, 17; although in England separately there are only 10. In France, the number of foundlings supported at the expense of the state was, in 1844, 123,394, demanding an annual outlay of 6,707,829f. 12c., or 54f. 6c. á head. In Paris the charitable establishments afford relief to 95,000 paupers. At Berlin the number of mendicants has become doubled between 1822 and 1846; the number of families in that capital supported by charity has increased from 2,990 to 3,445. In London it is computed that there are 25,000 persons who daily practice mendicity or robbery.

It is stated in the Reformer, a French Journal, that in France out of a population of about thirty-three millions, there are now 4,000,000 persons clothed in rags; 20,000,000 who never wear shoes; 182,000 who never eat wheaten bread; 27,000,000 who cannot get wine to drink-not drugged, as here-31,000 too poor to afford sugar; 31,000,000 forced to abstain from the use of meat.

The following account of crime and ignorance in London is from the correspondent of the National Intelligencer.

London is a wonderful aggregated mass of mankind, and must be supposed to contain a full proportion of their folly and wickedness; but when the police returns inform us that in the year 1847 sixty-two thousand persons were taken into custody in the metropolis for crimes and offences of all sorts, we are struck with the melancholy fact that this is very little less than one out of every thirtytwo of the entire population. Out of this number, probably, about one-half were discharged, that being the proportion of the preceding year, whilst only about five thousand would be committed for trial. It is a gratifying circumstance that crime appears to have been gradually on the decrease in London since the establishment of the new police. In 1832 the number of persons taken into custody was 77,543; in 1836, 63.384; in 1846, 62,834; and last year 62,000, of whom 41,500 were males, and 20,500 females. The charges of drunkenness have materially decreased. In 1831 the number was 23,788, whilst in 1846 it was only 17,563. We wish we could say that ignorance, the parent of crime, was proportionally decreasing, but the appalling fact is on record that out of the 41,500 males taken into custody last year, 13,000 were totally ignorant of even the rudiments of learning, and that only 150 could read and write well. Of the 20,500 women taken into custody, 9,000 could neither read nor write, and only 14 could read and write well.
