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. "God help the poor mariner!"

OBITUARY
In this city, on the 29th of January, 1853, alter
a lingering illness, Mr. John O'Donnell, aged 23
years, 7 months and 23 .!ays.
His remains were followed to the grave, on Mon
day the Ist of February, by his sorrowing friends
and a large concourse of his fellow citizens. His
amiability of character,. gentleness of 'disposition
and suavity of manners, never failed to win tho es
teem and admiration of all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance.
Though his pilgrimage on earth was of short du
ration, his mind was thoroughly imbued with the
divine truths of Christianity, to which be adhered
and which he advocated with a firmness and decis
ion of character seldom met with in persons of ri
per and more mature years. This, together with
his general-intelligence made him at all times a
particular favorite with his companions, who ad
mired him in life and who mourn him in death.
But his death is the s'eep of peace and it may be
rely said of him
"None knew him but to love him
None named him but to praise." P
