One of the most crying political evils of the day in Anierica is the tendency of all our Governments—National, State, and Municipal —to c onstantly increase their expenditures. While we are free from such a crushing bur den of enormous debt; contracted to carry on ancient ware, as oppresses most of the nations of Europe, and while we are not taxed to support the eenaeles pomp and pageantry of royalty, some of our Governments still con tinue to contract liabilities sch heavy as to farce the communities under theft control into bankruptcy or repudiation, or to impose so high a rate of taxation that even tax-burdened Englishmen regard it with astonishment. The United States as a compact nation, the leveral States, and the various municipalities and thriv-. ing counties, scattered throughout the Union, commenced their political existence with no ancient financial burdens, crushing them down with an oppressive and horrible weight ; but each successive year has brought forward a new batch of projects—many- of Which.. it is true, wore wise and worthy of encouragement, but Many others comparatively visionary and unworthy, until the circle of expenditure has gone on widening and widening, and the little mountains of debt Increasing in size, and now. scarcely one of our Governments, no matter how contracted the area over whigh It exercises authority, nor how limited the re sources of the population It controls, is free from a debt which is almost as great as its power to borrow has extended—and, some of our municipal rates of taxation and propor tionate expenditures are greater than those of any other portion of the world. In some eases; debts have been contracted in thought less momenta, or by rash or dishonest public officers, which communities are utterly unable to pay, and they have been forced into the disgraceful alternative of repudiation. The expenditures of the National Govern ment bare increased with wonderitil rapidity. For the four years ending in 1796, the aggre gate of expenditures was but . $12,083,205. Even so late as 1808, the expenditures for the four years were but $28,927,244. Bat for the four years ending in 1856, they were, $2ll, 099,807, and the expenditures for the first year under Mr. BUCHANAN'S Admit' bare: tion reached an aggregate of mere than $186,000,000, and thus indicated an ex penditure for the fOur years of his term of $272,000,000. The expenditures of deny of the States and cities, however, have increased much more rapidly than those of the National Government ; and the aggregate of Governmental debt, in cluding.that of the Nation, the States, the cities, counties, and small municipalities, has swelled up to such an enormous sum th at, in extent, it would present no contemptible ap pearance when contrasted with the debts accumulated daring a long course of centuries by the monarchies of Europe. It is perfectly obvious and inevitable that, as our country increases in wealth and popu lation, Its governmental expenses should also be greatly increased by its growing wants ; for It would be idle to expect that a fall-grown man could be maintained upon the slender in come which suffices to supply the necessities of a stripling; but at the same time it cannot bederded that we are entirely too prone to ig nore the economical habits which, in a great measure, laid the foundation of American wealth, and to contract' expenditures which are unnecessary, wasteful, and extravagant. A correspondent of the New York Animal of Commerce, who has recently visited Jeddo, in Japan, in speaking of the palaces of the Emperor, and the houses of the prime minis. tars, says that they are plain edifices, without anything of the magnificent without, or the or nate within—being even less expensive and nn. ostentatious than the White House at Washing ton, notwithstanding the Emperor rules over forty millions of people who possess sufficient wealth and artistic genius to build for him one of the grandest palaces in the world, if the governmental 'genius of the country and the prevailing policy of the people sanctioned much an expenditure. It appears,however, that ,a strip of dry fi sh-skin is tached to every official letter, even from the Emperor and 'his prime minister down to the lowest grade, of officers, for the purpose of perpetu ally reminding the receivers of these docu ments that- the anceArs of the present 'rich and flourishing Japanese nation were once but poor fishermen, and that therefore all their de scendants should be industrious and economi cal. This instructive usage has come down from remote ages, and appears to have exercised a powerful influence upon the rulers of the coun try, by constantly impressing them with the, Importance of economy. However absurd such a custom, applied to governmental affairs in America, might appear, it would certainly be a desirable thing for the tax-payers of our nation, if those who authorize the expendi tures of our various Governments, instead of rushing headlong into new schemes and =ne cessary expenditures, should entertain a more lively recollection of the primitive simplicity and frugal habits of our republican ancestors, and, instead of treating lightly budgets in volving expenditures of millions of dol lars, should scrutinize the items, in mammoth appropriation bills, with that degree of close attention which-they well know the founders of our nation would have bestowed upon them. The Horrors of the Coolie Trade. Among all the inhuman schemes of modern Invention for the accumulation of wealth, none Is so cruel and destructive to human happi ness and life as the coolie trade, or exporta tion of the unfortunate Chinese to the bland of Cuba, the Chinch' islands, and various other places, as laborers for a term of years. :The cargoes of these unfortunate victims of avarice are originally obtained in their native country in a manner closely resembling, and al most as atrocious as that by which.dilican slaves are procured for those who still conduct, in an Illicit manner, the African slave trade. Some times fair, but false, promises are held out to unfortunate Chinese who are In an almost starving condition. In other cases they are decoyed by false pretences into the harm coons, or forcibly seized while they are asleep In their Junks by night, or quietly occupied In their fields, gardens, .or at their mechanical avocations. Occasionally pirates, who stop at no treachery or violence, are engaged to: obtain the living but fated freight of the' coolie vessels. We published, a short time elnoe,, an ac count of the horrible circumstances attending the wreck of the Flora Temple—by which eight hundred and fifty coolies ware destroyed. A recent importation into Havana shows al most e q ually fearful results. Of nine hundred and sixteen coolies put on board the French steam-propeller, Charles Martel, at Swatow, only three hunred and forty were delivered alive in the port of Havana—live hundred and sixty-nine having perished at sea in a voyage of one hundred and forty-two days, and seven after the vessel was anehored , in the bay. Fortunately, there is a prospect of a de struction of this traffic, so far as the island of Cuba is concerned, after the 81st of Decem ber, 1860, as a royal order to that effect has been issued. It is to be hoped that, in all other quarters of the world, it will also be speedily suppressed. The miseries to which the coolies have been subjected are almost unparalleled in the annals of, civilization. Even when they are delivered alive at their destined ports, their owners have no interest In their permanent welfare, and treat them with greater harshness and cruelty than they would slaves In whom they had a life-long In terest.

Bridges When MAOAuLAVO New Zealander surveys the ruins of Philadelphia, it will net be fl'om a bridge. Whatever historic permanence may be hoped for from other public structures can not by any stretch of enthusiasm be expected from the present viaducts crossing the Schuyl kill.' Indeed, the antiquaries of A. D. 2860 will hot be troubled much with, doubts as to the purposes for which our public works were intended. Tomake a bad use of a common quotation, if he seeks a monument, he can look around considerably without finding one. The rock foundations of Fairmount may give rise to discussions whether the excavations at its summit were used for sacrificial or funeral pur poses. That singular wall now building near its base may. excite a superstitious doubt whether it was the work of human hands ; but beyond these, the Ales of brick which will stretch in rectangular tumuli for miles around him can only say that we wore and are not. Not a pillar will exist to point out that our busy race lived for anything beyond the hour, or found life so earnest as to place a stone to tell how great their labors had been. Yee, on reflection, two structures• exist whose founda tions seem to have been fixed as lastingly as those of the grave. The ruins of the peniten tiary and the prison will confess that crime mese rife in our generation as to compel mon uments which the virtues of the day failed to exact. ' But an opportunity now presents itself to redeein ourselves in the eyes of posterity. Aitoluto necessity will soon require the °roc-, tion of additional bridges across the Schuyl , Take a stand for an hour, at any time of the day between sunrise and sunset, on Market street bridge, and consider the amount of traffic which pours across it—reflect then how many interests, both in the city and miles away from it, too, are bound up in the safety of transit over that one frail causeway; and then imagine, for calculation will be at fault, what amount of destruction might arise from a spark drop ped from a drunkard's pipe. Prudent foresight required additional facili ties years, ago. The daily inconvenience to which travel is exposed in crossing that bridge must now compel the erection of another. What we desire to ask is, that in the proposed new one some regard should be had to monu mentalpurposes in the details of its execution. We believe that our community feels a just pride in itself; it is but right that this should be exhibited in our public works. Pride of family is not always a bad thing; civic pride is always a good thing. Labors and sacrifices have beet extorted from hand and 'brain by public motives, which no pros pect of ease or fortune could have made en durable. All that adds grace or elegance to a city fosters such a spirit. Like that faith which seeks to give a tangible object in which the affections can rest, a comanity must en courage the exercise of public virtue by visi ble tokens of its greatness and dignity. Bridges ought always to be more than passage-ways. The whole world elsewhere seems to be united in the propriety of making them monumental in their character. Somo reason exists for this which may not at first sight be apparent. The bridges across the Seine are all of wonderful beauty. Each of the new ones is commemorative of historic incidents. The new bridges across the Thames are superb. The Danube and the Rhine, and the Nova, none of which have capitals of the 'size or importance of P,hiladelphia,boatit some of the finest in the world. The Romans, grandly practical in ail their works, have loft some of the . most durable evidences of their civiliza tion in viaducts and bridges. The common consent of mankind is the best argument for placing some value upon grandeur in such structures. Now, what have we to show in this re spect Market-street bridge—the dimen sions of which were ample enough to Supply the traffic at fifty years ago—is now Jammed by the products of the West; which the railroad alone is pouring into the lap of the City. Outwardly it is an eyesore; its principal material is so fragile as not only to be liable to instantaneous destruction by accident, but requires a roof to Protect it from hourly decay. Next comes the wire-bridge which would be elegant and appropriate if it spanned a country stream, across which Corydon might pipe to Phillia, but which sways and creaks immense ly under, the pressure of heavy wain, or when a crowd hurries across it. • And lastly, we peasess that durable struc ture which the necessities of speculators, more, powerffil for improvement than the multi of the public, erected at Girard ave nue, and . which fell to pieces from its own rottenness before a wheel had crossed it; which now, after lc a thorough repair," pre- Seats many lines not conducive to the sense bf beauty or safety. It ought to be knocked to pieees as a public disgrace, and a stone erected to aormnemorate the skill and fidelity of the contractors. Let any one, fond of contrasts, walk a few paces from the river, and he will see a viaduct leading across the Reading Rail. road, built by that company, the solidity and beauty of which will at once explain to him that' the servants of the city were not allowed to have alumni in building it. Farther up, the 'railroad bridge at the Falls of the Schuylkill will force him to ewn (we hope with a sigh) 'that a trading corporation was more alive to the dignity and propriety which should attend great public works than the community which they served. We know that the usual arguteents against lavish expenditure will be raised against the plan which we propose of making all bridges built in the future ornamental. Bat, after all, massiveness is the chief element of perma nence as well as grandeur. It will be well to teach oar people by outward objects that we are not a transitory race ; but ono which is laying the fouedations of homes, as we trust, for a greater people yet to fill! our places. Such ideas mould the lives and destinies of races as well as of men. No one can say, while a stone yet remains to be raised among ui In' honor of , Washington, that we owe no monuments. Could a more appropriate designation than that of the groat. est American be given to the proposed new bridge? Parsimony and [magnificence would be out of place M a structure which comme morated, the honor in which we hold thai name. The Twenty-Second of February. To-day la the anniversary of the birth of the illustrious Chieftain of the Revolution and the patriotic . statesman of the early days of our constitutional history. It will be appropriate ly celebrated in our city by our military compa nies., A correspondent recently suggested to us the propriky of a still more general cele bration of this day than at present prevails and that, as on the Fourth of Ally the De claration of Independence is read through out the length and breadth of the land, so, on the . 22d of February, the Farewell Address of the Father of his Coun try should be brought to the notice of the, American people, until all the patriotic; admonitions it contains are deeply engraven. upon their hearts. The suggestion is a good one, especially at a time like the present, when ditranion doctrines are stalking abroad throughout the land, and! when men whose highest ambition should be to preserve the liberties] of the country, and transmit its in stitutions unimpaired to posterity, aro strain ing every nerve to overthrow, the noble fa brie which has enabled our country to take a front rank among the nations of the earth.

Mr. Wm. N. H. Smith, of North Carolina,'obtained the floor to make a personal explanation. The honorable gen tleman desired to oorreot rumors of an unsatisfac tory character which had been in circulation in reference to him, and the position in which he had been voted for while in nomination for the Speak ership. He had been erroneously represented on the Friday on which the noted balloting took place ; and, on reading the reports in the papers, drew up a statement to read in' the House on the succeeding Monday, if not relieved from the re sponsibility of the nomination. The remarks of the Hon. Messrs. Pendleton and Cox, of Ohio, especially placed him in an erroneous position ; though, in reply to Mr. Pendleton, Mr, Smith ad mitted that Mr, Pendleton gave the result of a conversation held with him, bat did not give the details. What Mr. Smith desires to clear Wesel off is the positive manner in which Cox, Cochrane, of New York, Morris, of Illinois, and others, de clared that he was not, and never was, a member of or had any sympathy with the Know-Nothings or American party. The point of his explanation clearly is, that these gentlemen spoke too fast, and that he was not free from some connection with the party so severely condemned and reviled by those able gentlemen. The ferocity with which Cox and Cochrane denounced the Know-Nothings, and the scorn with which they repudiated any combination with them, will be remembered. Mr. Pendleton offered a few remarks, clearing himself of any mlarepresentttion, and no doutt Samuel S. Cox and John Cochrane, and Clement L. Vallandlgham, will take an opportunity of de fining the feeling under which they, at the very last moment, allowed themselves to be brought up to the slaughter by their friends, the manager,. Cox and Coohrane have had a consultative:whlsper on the matter; and now Vallandigham, having made his appearance, is taking counsel with Cox, while their colleague, Howard, lends his gray head to the more oratorical mood of consultation which Vallandigham Indulges in, and the more hardheaded acuteness of Cox. Objections from the Republican side out short what might have been a very interesting episode ; but scarcely had the chance of one excitement died away than another was speedily supplied, in the shape of a resolution introduced by Hon. Mr. Isaac N. Morris, of Illinois. It had some reference to the °erten/Won of a canal in which Arkansas was interested ; and he desired to put it right through, as Mr. Rust was anxious to leave town to-day or to-morrow. All manner of objections were made by all manner of men. One desired to calm the flurry by saying the resolution was read for in. formation. Mr. Morris said it was not read for any such thing; but it had been read twice, and he called the previous question. Mr. Sherman wanted it referred to a Committee of the . Whole. Morrie liked to know by whet right gentlemen were addressing tho chair, as he had not yielded the floor. Re was replied to by half a dozen, keeping the floor, so that the honorable Illinoisan could scarcely be heard at the top of his voice. Any number of propositions were made, amid great eon tedon. At length lion. Mr. Barksdale flung him self against the mass and levelled it, by moving to recommit the resolution to the Committee on Roads and Canals, which being agreed to by Mr. Rust, it was agreed to. The Conimittee on the Seats and Desks presented a majority and minority report. Both were read, and Mr. Farnsworth, to put an end to an evident flare-up, proposed to lay both on the table. The votes were called, and Farnsworth was not sus tattled. Tho previous question was then called on the resolutions adjourning from Friday to the bth March, and instructing the superintendent of the Capitol extension to take out the present seats, and replace the chairs and desks in their original arrangement. Shertrl Clemens called for a divi sion of the resold/Ms. Grow, of Pennsylvania, and Conokling, of New York, objeoted, as no division could take place after the previous ques tion had been ordered. The division, however, was effected. The resolution relating to the ad journment was tabled, and the removal of the pre sent seats passed. Hon. John B. nankin introduced a resolution from the Committee on Public Expenditure, &ai ring the srleet committee on printing to hand over to the committee of which he is chairman, all books and papers which they may have on the subject. Mr. Raskin showed how unnecessary the soled committee on the subject was when a standing committee having jurisdiction over the same issues was in being. There might be a conflict between them, wbloh be desired to anticipate. non. Mr. Houston and others on his side spoke for Makin's resolution ; a division was demanded, and resulted in Its adoption.

Wil son, Adjutant General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the subject of making certain appropriations to the State Arsenal, at Philadel phia. He recommends that $1',450 be appropri ated to roofing the building; $4OO to putting on abutters; and $2OO for cleaning and repairs. This seams to be a necessary appropriation, and will undoubtedly be tutted upon favorably. The whole of Tuesday in the House was won pied in considering the private Calendar. In the Senate, the bills considered were also of a private nature. The Republican State Convention convenes here' at 12 o'olook to-morrow, and already the throng of delegates and outsiders is Immense. A great deal of anxiety is manifested by the friends 'Of oandidates, but the beet feeling "for the sake of the canoe" prevails. I have dime.

The correspondent of the Liverp ool Journal, un der the head of "Paris Gossip,' gave on the 4th inst.. his latest views upon the controversy between the Vatican and Louis Napoleon. He maintains that the Emperor committed a great blunder in suppressing L'Univers. Within two days of the issuing of the decree against that journal, M. Veuillet, the Pope's champion, and its acknowledg ed director, had 200,000 francs raised for him. It is stated that the martyr editor had gone to Rome, where he could prove a demon of discord between the Pope and the Emperor. It is asserted that the Emperor out-looked and bowed-out the Oar dinal-ArehMshop of Paris, when he name to resign his post as Senator and Grand Al money The Emperor supposed that his Emi nence had solicited the interview for the purpose of communicating some concession on the part of the Church. The salary which the high dignitary received for his two odices was 100,000 francs per annum, so that mercenary motives cannot be im puted to him. The correspondent will still have it that there is a volcano slumbering under the entente eorthale supposed to exist between Prance and England. The Emperor of Austria, In _private circles, continued to make the question of Venetia a point of family honor, and to °entreat his descent from the Camara with that of Louis Napoleon. Bets were being made that war would break out within two months. lISP Garlbaldt's wife—Miss Raymond that was --is a Dl 'Vernon, or Gay Spanker, and knows a good horse when she sees the animal as well as she knows a good man.

It Is not a little creditable to the public' spirit, the esprit du corps, and the discipline of the regiment, that six hundred of its members, at less than two days' notice, complete their arrangements for an excursion of this character. It shows what they could do in an emergency demanding their services for the protection of life or property, or to sustain the civil authorities in the enforcement of law. Dr. Palmy's " La Femme " has met with a sale quite unprecedented. Notwithstanding a very large edition was on the counters of the publishers on Saturday morning, last evening every oopy was disposed of, and orders constantly coming in for additional supplies. Of the many clever gentlemen who are successful in translating and adapting from the French, no one see= to reproduce the precise life end spirit of what they take in hand as Dr. Palmer. Ins thorough scholarship, keen insight, quick and relined wit, and power of absorbing the very "thoughts and Intents " of his author, render him peculiarly qualified to impart to a translation all the interest and power of the original. The "last scene of all" in the history of Bur ton, tke actor, is precisely such as might be ima gined in one whose life had been passed in making "counterfeit presentments" of character of every shade, from the high-toned man of the world to the lowest-toned blackguard of the gutter. It has often occurred to me that, more than any other in the world, the actor's profession is an unreality; yet more than any other it studies the nature of those who adopt the different professions, and shows up the "nature of the animal" in each and all. Burton knew as well as most stover men, the inside of all professional eminence, and knew, moreover, that, as a Wisner, "there's nothing in it." His whole stage life was nought but a sham. The last scene, in the last act of big own drama, was a melancholy reality. Ills final orders were that no one should be permitted to look upon hie dead form, except those whose services were absolutely needed In putting ha in hie last resting place ; and he also gave strict orders that no one should follow his corpse to its plane of sepulture but the sexton and his assistants. In one respect ho waa like the present veteran manager of Wallack's theatre—he was never seen in those public places that actors are generally acoustomed to frequent. Alas ! poor Burton !

There is some thing marvellous in the rapid and sudden transi tions with which, ad-Jago, this artist turns from one of those malignant moods in which the treach erous villain is plotting the destruotion of his friend's best hopes, to the merry greeting of the poor fool Roderic o, as he breaks in upon the so liloquy. 4n4 a deaf auditor, who could not catch a word of her utterance, could read the varying 0010i101111 of her heart, the shifting, changing, quickly-succeeding passions that are moving that wicked tool, so graphically are they delineated In her face. The danger of this mode of playing the part of logo le, that it may be canted so far as to make it seem impossible that Othello could be deceived by so demonstrative an Idgo ; that the disguise would be too thin, and that the wolf must be seen through the eareleasly-worn lamb's skin. We have seen the personation more than once so spoiled. Bat Mrs. Waller, with infinite toot, only permits the audience to see the workings of the soul of the wicked Ivo, as he weaves his infernal web, and emits over the enmeshing of hie dupes within It. We think, if It bo not hypercritical to find a flaw in so perfect a piece of work. that Mrs. Waller, at the end of the fourth act, kills poor Roderizo a little too much. It ;make', a telling point to bring down the curtain upon /zee finishing his treach erous work in that way ; but as the poor, foolish Venetian had been a good deal perforated before, between Cesare and "ago, and as .Fipolerigo has to revive afterwards sufficiently to betray hisbetray er, end to lay open his hellish plots upon Othello and Audemona, perhaps a somewhat more mode. rate murder would more nearly consist with the unities. And one thing more, nov that we hate begun to find fault—Mrs Waller wrongly reasons of the finest lines in the play : " —if pepsin doth remain. lig a h t altui e d s a i !d: ZOT in his life Nra. Waller says, a daily beauty in his eyes," which, we submit, is a very different thing from what Shakespeare and jagq intend. The tuition of this artist in the olosing scene of the tragedy, after the villain she personates has declared his purpose of speaking no more, is as marvellously fine as it Is strikingly original. We have never been so strongly impressed with the true climates of "this deml-clevil" as while wit. missing this scene, as played by Mrs. Waller. It defies analysis ; it must be seen to be believed pos• eible to a woman's capabilities. Wno was EWE ?—." H. F." (Hiram Fuller 7 ) the New York correspondent of the New Orleane Picayune, writes, Jan. 29th : * 0 This reminds me of what may he termed a tensation funeral, width boa recently, taken place in the upper part of the olty. La Traviata was a marript welnall, without dren, beautiful beyond conception. When tho; eye saw her it blessed her for the beauty of her person, and the perfection of her toilet, Ire the greet, in the ballroom, at the opera, she ever reminded one of the neat, artistic sketch of Scott: "Ne'er did Grecian object tree. Ajirmph. a naiad, or greet, With finer form, or lovelier (Coe." Last week this fair, frail flower was suddenly: wilted and died. On the announcement of the fact in the newspapers, there was an extraordinary demand for white lamellas, white rosebuds, orange blossoms, and all o th er pale and preolone flowers At for the bridal bed of death. In a robe of white satin, in a rich casket lined with the same mate/ rial, the faultlesa form, which no soulptor'e art could rival, lay in its last repose, wreathed and garlanded, and bestrewed with flowers, The funeral was largely attended, by soon only ; and, strange to say, mostly by men utterly unknown to the bereaved husband, al ? though among the multitude of the afflicted who followed La Travtata to the tomb, each felt Mtn self entitled to fill the place of chief mourner" at her funeral. Such Is life, and death, too, In this great cosmopolitan oity, which Is growing every day more and more like the " cities of the Old World," and, perhaps, in some respects, like the cities destroyed for their sins by the grand cata clysm of Noah.
