Surveyor General's Report. We are indebted to the Hon. J. Pon-ran Brum isr, Surveyor General, for a copy of his Annual Report, for the year ending November 30, 1852. From this Report, we learn the following facts: The work done in the office of the_ Surveyor General, from the 11th November, 1851, to the 10th November, 1852, inclusive, for which fees have been received, amounts to $849 10. A large num ber of copies have been made for the use of County Surveyors, for which no lees are received, and in many instances persons in writing for copies ne glect to remit the fees. I The payments made into the State Treasury on account of the purchase money, patent and war rant fees, for the fiscal year ending the 30th No- Vember ast, amount to $40,223 41, being. (with the exception of the year 1551) a large increase over former years. The number of patents (931) issued during the same period being more -than double the number in any one year for the last thirteen years. The fees alone (excluding the purchase money and in terest) paid into the State Treasury for patents and Warrants, amount to the sum of $11,691 00, being almost $4.000 more than all the expenses of the Land Department: - The act of Assembly passed the 10th of April, 1835, graduating the unpatented lands in the Com monwealth, and .which has been extended from time to time by supplementary acts, will expiraon the first day of February next. The Surveyor General then relerathe Legislature to his last Annual Report, and to the suggestions therein contained. He also refers to the various graduating acts passed by the Legislature in for nier years, and adds: It will appear from the pre ceding statement that the original prices of lands have varied very much, and it will be a subject for the Legislature to say, by their future enactments, whether the owners of unpatented lands, which Originally paid but six-pence per acre, shall receive the same lenity at their hands as those who paid 80 cents per acre. The Surveyor General gives it as his opinion that not less than two millions of dollars are due to the Commonwealth on unpatented lands, under the graduating act of 1535; and under previous acts in relation to the patenting of lands, it Would not be less than double that amount. The Surveyor General alludes to the different constructions put upon the graduating act by ap- Praisers, and gives it as his opinion, that the only rational construction that can be given to that act is, that it means the value of the land at the pres ent time in a wild state, excluding the improve- Tents, it any have been made upon it. The following are the concluding paragraphs of this interesting Report: There is also paid by the owners of unpatented lands, annually, from $B,OOO to 1;10,0110 to the hoard of appraisers in the different counties, for their services ; this amount is lost to the State as well as to the owners. It has been suggested that the county assessments might form the basis for the graduation of land; a certificate to that effect might be obtained from the commissioners in each county, at a cost of not over fifty cents to the ap plicant. The undersigned cannot refrain from again cal ling the attention of the Legislature to a subject referred to in his last report, viz: that there is a general opinion prevailing in many sections of the State, that the Legislature never can compel the owners filmy the arrearages due on their lands, or if they could, it would never be enforced by legislative enact ment. This erroneous idea has retarded the patent ing of lands very much. A manifestation on the part of the Commonwealth, of a determination to collect the arrearages, would largely increase the receipts. An indiscriminate compulsion could not be desired. It the Legislature should think proper to extend the act of 1835, former experience has taught us that it ought to be for only a short period of time, as those persons owing the Commonwealth will procrastinate until the eleventh hour. The large number of patents issued, together with the great increase of other business during the past year, has rendered the duties of the clerks of th s department exceedingly onerous. Great care has been observed in the preservation of papers. This office being the only archive of the origin- . al inception of title to all the real estate in this Commonwealth, and always must remain so, it becomes the imperative duty of the State to pre serve all such evidences of title sacredly, that re sponsibility she has assumed, and those interested have a right to demand it. For the accomplish- Ment of this most important object, a competent person is now arid has been exclusively employed for the last three months in the examination of every draft and Other papers, to ensure the certain ty of all papers, being correctly filed, so as to ena ble the finding of them it properly described. The searching for the original titles of land has become a matter of immense labor. In a large majority of cases the present owners have lost all traces of their original titles. In a great many in stances conveyances have never been put on record and when any controversy arises in relation to the original lines, it 'takes hours and even days to find what is desired and what may be of incalculable importance to those interested. Terrible Scenes at Sea • The arrival at' , . New York, on Wednesday, of the packet ships ReScius and Lady . Franklin, from Liv erpool, terminated two of the most stormy and dis astrous passages to life and limb, that we have had for some time to record. The Roscius left Liver pool on the 17th of December, and on the lst of January, in lat. 53 20, ion. 28 50, while under three close reefed top Sails, storm staysails, main spencer and a double spanker, during a strong gale froth the N. N. W., was boarded by a tremendous sea, that stove in the upper deck and fore hatches en the main deck, twisted the mainmast head off, and filled the decks between with four feet of water.— All the stores, provisions and clothes, of the steer age passengers, were much damaged by this inun dation, and no 'doubt a greater part entirely de stroyed, as their boxes' were washing about the decks until the ships could be brought to and the Wreck cleared. When that was accomplished, it was found thatfour of the, crew had been washed overboard, the mate had one of his arms broken, and one of the crew a leg broken ' besides several others severely injured. From the time the vessel left Liverpool until she arrived in port, ahe had to con tend with continuous head winds. . •The Lady Franklin left Liverpool on the 3d of December, and, commenced her misfortunes on the 7th, when a seaman, named George Rash, was washed from the bowsprit and drowned. On the 17th of the saute month she shipped a tremendous sea, which stove the starboard quarter boats, bul warks, sky-lights and binnacle, and injured most of the men, some of them severely. She also lost a suit of sails. At 3A. M., of the same day, two of the crew, named John Richardson and John Hunterson, fell from the fore-topsails yard to the deck, and were picked up dead. The Franklin, however, was not alone in her misfortune, as on the 28th they spoke the schooner, Lile, (probably a British vessel,; bound to Liverpool from Jamaica, seventy days out; and without provisions, with which Captain Osborn kindly supplied them; and on the 31st, in lat. 44 30; lon. 28 50, they spoke another schooner, (name unknown,) bound to Cork, from Newfoundland, the captain, mate and part of the crew of which had met watery graves by being washed overboard. To add to their Misfortunes, they were without a navigator, which want Cap tain Osborn was not able to supply, or render them any assistance , to help them on their dreary way, more than giving them some instructions how to steer. The loss of, valuable liven on the two: packet shipi, amounted to seven, besides severe injuries to many of those who escaped with life. The un known.schooner will probably never more be heard of, as she was ',spoken more than a month ago, and in her disabled condition was but ill qualified to contend with the storms that subsequently swept the Atlantic. The storms 'on the Atlantic have been more than usually severe this winter, and we fear much that vessels now on their way here from Europe, many of which have been for some time over due, will add further to the list of casualiies we have already published.
