' Stale DcW.-' The interest on the Slate Debt due the U in-!., was promptly paid by the State ( Treasurer, but we see doubts expressed ( bv several journals in regard to the ability of the Treasury to meet the interest that! will become due on the 1st of August. The committees of Ways and Means in both Houses cf the Legislature have had the subject of Finance under con sideration, and in the Senate Mr. Iligler has reported a bill, allowing the holders of real estate to pay their amount of the State debt, and thus clear their properties j from State taxation, and levvinira tax of. 5 end 10 per cent on all estates above a certain r.mount. The first of these pro visions, being optional, we find no objec tion to; but the latter is unjust and op pressive. Our own opinion is that the public worts ougm u, i o,d and the present ; relate lax reuueed so as to cover only the'.Luterost upon the balance of the State Debt. Then, by creating a sinking fund from Pennsylvania's share of the pro ceeds of the public lands and a tax upon money broker. &c, the remainder of the State Debt mizht lie paid off without im posing any further burdens upon the peo ple. Anollier Resolution In Mexico. General Pa redes has accomplished an other revolution. The citizens of St. Juan dc Ulloa were the first to declare for him, and those of Vera Cruz imme diately followed their example. On the SCth of December, Gen. Paredcs at the head of his armv reached the citv of Mexico, without having encountered any opposition. The iate President Ilerrera, it is supposed, will be banished. Mr. Slideli. was refused recognition l.y the new authorities, rndon demanding liis passports was told that he was un known to them; no passports were ne ces.sr.rv, end he was at libcrtv to iro where he pleased. The B.oai:auro. At the date of our latest accounts from Harrisburg the 1 111 granting the ri;:ht of wav to the Ualtimore and Ohio Railroad Company was still undisposed of in the Senate. The Tariff Resolutions from the Sen ate were under discussion in the House. Oar Representative, Col. Edie, we learn from the Harrisburg papers, made an able speech in favor of their passage. Fatal Railroad Accident On Thursday before last, Copt. W. II. White, the conductor of the train of cars between Ualtimore and Cumberland, was crushed to deadi at the Doe Gulicv Tun vc. having been caught between the en fine and tender in consequence of the bscyajr- car lein: thrown off the track. cost; tires. The two Houses of Congress arc pro ceeding with great deliberation in refer ence to the Oregon question, which, from the space it occupies, would seem to be the ureal business of the session which certainly overshadows all olher business though, our readers must have perceiv ed. cery interest of the country would have been benefitted had the Executive Lot directed the attention of Congress so almost exclusively to it. and indeed had he. and his predecessor, in regard to this question, "let very well alone," as 'Pre sident "Jackson did, as President Adams had done before him, and as President Van lit hex did after him. The only r fleet of agitating the question has been, we believe, to excite apprehensions in the minds of the peace-loving part of cur people constituting, we trust and believe, a lap-e mrioritv cf the whole end thus to repress commercial enterprise and no re or le? embarrass all descriptions of busmen, with the result, already,, ol a ;. loss to the country a detraction from tac common stock of wealth and prosperity which we have seen estimated, and we rt:ive nut overrated, at uity millions ol dollars The Horsx of Representatives yes lerday received four new propositions j and heard one speech on the subject, and,! finJinir itself without a quorum after be-! v.'.Z Iirde more than two hours in session,! soent the ret of the day's sitting in try ing to a Ijourn, accomplishing that task :U a litde after three o'clock; haing, in the course of the sitting, refussd(f by a decisive majority, to agree to a preposi tion to close the "debate on Monday next. In the Senate, the Navy Increase Bill, supported and opposed ss having some leering upon the same cu'jvet, was not even tnken up vc-t rdaV. Of the ukim-.tc fat-T of the prepositions relative to the Or cr. question d 'penJing ih either House of Congress, variant and discordarttopinions are, we observe, ex pressed in the newspapers published out of this city, both editorially and by their Washington correspondents. It "is not possible certainly to predict what will be the specific action of Congress upon it. But, whatever may be the final action of the House of Representatives in the case, we now feel entire confidence that the Senate will give its sanction to no mea- . , 5 sure.? r to Oregon which would stanJ in the way of a peaceful and hor orable adjustment of the difference ex isting between the Governments of this country and Great Britain on this sub ject. Nat. Int. facial Commissioners' Iteport. The annual report of the Canal Com- ' missioners giving a statement of the con- i dition of the Public Works of Pennsvlra- ana .their management during the past year, will be found entire in to-days paper. The receipts and expenditures to year are stated by the Commis- sioncrs to have been as follows Receipts $1,196,979 43 Expenditures 550,191 13 Net revenue $646,785 31 Bv reference to the Canal Commis sioners' report of las.t year, we find that i the expenditures and receipts during the year ending the 30th of November 1811, were as fohows: Receipts $1,107,603 12 532,CkO 43 $635,572 O7 Expenditures . Net revenue Thus it will be seen that, notwithstand ing the boasted increase of the revenue of our Public works, tbere has been an in- rrease of r 3ct, ls jurin? ,he last vear, of only $29,376 01, and an increase ol net revenue of but S 1.1,2 12 33 The receipts and expenditures of the Main Line during the last year, appear to be as follows: Receipts 928,003 93 Expcnditvres 463,387 71 Net revenue 8474,681 19 According to the report of the Canal Commissioners of last year, the receipts and expenditures of the Main Line, du ring the year ending the 30th of Novem ber 1844, were as follows: Receipts $874,218 90 Expediiures 471,364 33 502,654 63 We have thus the startling fact pre sented to our view of a deficiency of the receipts of the Main Line, during the last year, compared with the receipts of the previous year, ol $46,150 C6, and of -a decrease in the net revenue of $33, 173 41. It is due to say, that the revenue of the Delaware Division has considerably in creased during the past year. Lst year, that is the year ending the 30th Novem ber 1844, the net revenue on this branch of our improvements, amounted to the sum of 50,407 15. According to the report of the Cannl Commissioners, the net revenue, during the year 1845, a mounted to 8105,591 56; being an in crease compared with the previous year of$19,184 41. The same has been the case also with the Susquehanna and North and West branches. The net revenue of the im provements during the vear 1844, amount ed to $44,316 08. Tor the year 1S45 the net revenue from these divisions a mountedto $76,512 55, being an increase over the year 184 1 of $32,190 47. This improvement in the revenue derived from these divisions bears ample testimony to the beneficial operation of the Tariff of 1842 upon the great Coal and Iron opera tions of these districts. The original cost of the Main Line of the public works M as $14,301 320, the interest on which sum for the, at 5 per ) cent, is $718,000 00. The net revenue on this line for the past year, as stated in the report, was $474,681 19. Now de duct this revenue from the interest on the cost of the work, and it will be seen that there is a urlflmft, (f revenue ihorl of the interest of $253,384 81 ! which is abstracted directly from the pockets of the people in the shape of taxes! And this to keen up a set ol hungry office holders on the public works to plunder the treas ury and control the elections. If any ar gument were necessary at this day to rhow the policy of selling these works, this surely should be a sufficient cue. To the office-holders, we presume, it is not sufficient, but the people, we think, will scon let them know that it is to them. Take the w hole cost of all the finished lines, apply the srune test, and the same resulut is produced. The revenue falls short cf the interest nearly Four Hundred Thousand Dullarsl And so it is every vesr and thus the people arc taxed every year to support the office-holders on the public works. How long will they continue thus passively to bear the burthens imposed upon them by the so caIIed Democratic partv ? Pa. Intel. akc nsasers diirinsr last yrar. A late number of the Buffalo, New York, Commercial Advertiser contains its annual record of the marine disasters and losses which have occurred on Lake Erie and the other Upper Lakes, during the year 1813. From this statement we learn that during the period of navigation sixty lives were lost, thirty-six vessels were driven ashore, twenty-four others were wholly wrecked, and that the aggregate loss of property was $190,000. Werc the same field of investigation traced back for a limited period (the Advertiser savs) we could produce a list of five hundred lives lost, and property to the amount of a million of dollars thus sacrificed pro l ting conclusively the necessity of provi- ding more harbors and lighthouses for the protection of the Lake commerce.
