,' Condition of the Slate Treasury.-TUe
following document was submitted to the
Legislative on Saturday last, in reply to the
resolution of the 10th inst. by the Secreta
ry of tho Treasury; in which he says the
whole amount of revenue in the Treasury;
on the first of June inst. was $604,027
15. 01 this, sum there was handed to
him by his predecessor, unovailable at that
time, and still ao the following sums:
Specially deposited in the Har-
risburg Bank 850,000
Specialty deposited in thePen.
Bank of the U. S. 280,000
Specially deposited in the Gi-
rard Bank 0,000
Leaving a bahnco of available funds of
$228,628 15. Or this sum thero is in the
Bank of Pennsylvania, and branches; ap
plicable to interest.the sum of 8224,05-1,85.
Amount of Available funds in the Treasury
$101,073 40.
The character of tho available funds in
Treasury is as follows:
Relief notes of suspended
banks or (hose uucur-
rent $39,073 00
Relief notes of current
banks 37.255 00
Demand notes on sundrv '
country banks 14,503 00
Deposite in several banks
Payable monthly in Re
lief Notes 12.S887 19
Specie in the Treasury 27141
The amount. applicable to tho payment
of interest, including the amount in the
Bank of Pennsylvania, $350,532 73.
I lie Amount of notes in the Treasury:
issued under the act of 4th May. 1841! is
only $8G,9?8. The amount likely to be re
coivod into the Treasury frow the first of
Juno to the first of August, is estimated at
$177,000. This, in the oninon of the
Treasurer, will be Lilly realized, and should
thp collection of taxes be favorable will be
exceeded. Tho paymeutinto tho Treasury;
trom the lsttinst. havejrather exceeded tho
expenditures, but the funds havo not male
tially changed since that time either in a
character or amount,--Therc aro several
shorter loans still unpaid; which; paid; will
oe applicable to the paymonl of interest.
A most melancholy catastrophe occured
at Johnsontown county of Kilkenny, Ire
land, recently A Mr. George Healy, a
gentleman possessed of about 5,000 a
year, was burned to death in his own resi

which was a very fine one, was consumed.

Apportionment Bill Passcd.-On the 17th
inst., the apportionment bill was taken up in
ne House of Congress, and- tho Senate's
ratio of representation finally adopted. The

113, nays 104; The vote on the second

tion of fraclions.was, yeas 110, uays 102.
A motion to lay the amendment on the

to 98 yeas- So tho bill awaits only the
signature of tho President to become a law
DOMESTIC CREDITORS.
Tho bill for the paymtnt of the domes
ticcreditnrs out of he relief noles which
maycome into theTreasury.passed the house
on I'ticsday, by n vote of 00 to 30. We
are glad to see that at last this meritorious
out sullering class of nnr citizens aro about
to receive thtt which is duo them.
TAYLORSVILL NOTTS'
It will bo seen that the President and dir
ectors of iho Taylorsvillo Delaware Bridge
company have pledged to tho public their
private Estates for the redemption of the
notes of the Institutions. As the amount
in circulation is less than SIO.000, and
as the Estates thus pledged must exceed
3150,000, the security to the public must
provo entirely satisfactory; and pul ihe notes
in the best of credit. The pledge will be
seen in another column. Buck's Co.
