Being actually appropriated by Congress, and liable to be used even during the year, and certainly within a short time after its expiration, the undersigned has hesitated to deduct the amount from the expenditures, and, although this has been done in confor- mity with usage, this explanation is necessary to prevent mistake. Notwithstanding this deduction, it will be per- ceived that there will be a deficiency of more than two millions five hundred thousand dollars. ‘To this deficiency must be added the amount of such special eper ota eD as Congress may make during the present session, in addition to the appropriations for which estimates are submitted in another report. Itis a duty also to remark, that the credit of the Treasury, the facil of its operations, and the of guarding against unforseen contingencies, ally induced Con; to make provision for a small surplus. There is nothing in the circumstances of the present year to induce a departure from such a provi- dent course, and for that p a million and a half of dollars ought to be added to the deficiency above stated.— ‘The whole amount to be provided for the services of the present fiscal year, beyond the means now existing or es- timated, would therefore be about $4,000,000.

If both tracts should be offered for sale, the amount from that source may be increased four hundred thousand dol- lars. If neither should be offered, the estimated amount will be reduced two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ‘The preceding estimates are made on the assumption of the continuance ef the existing laws for the collection of duties on imports and tonnage, and for the sale of the pub- lic lands,and of course will be affected by any changes in those laws. The fluctuations of commerce forbid an im- plicit reliance upon any prospective calculations fora jong term. ‘Those now presented have been made from the best information that could be obtained, and from a comparison with the receipts of previous years. The large amount of eighteen millions recived ‘in 1842 from customs, is not to wholly credited to the business of that year, It includes $4,808,666 11, the amount of duties which-had accrued in 1841, and was secured by bonds that were paid in 1842, and also $567,000 of Treastiry notes re- deemed by the collectors in the former year, but which were credited in 1842, thus leaving the actual receipts from the duties of the year at less than thirteen millions. It will be perceived that there was a decided improve- ment in the duties on imports during the year 1843; for, during the three first quarters of that year, the receipts exceeded thirteen millions, and, from returns already re- ceived, it is quite certain those of the fourth quarter will amount to more than three millions, making a total of more than sixteenjmillions for the calendar year Various general considerations, and larly that the stocks of imported ls were, during the last two ears, nearly exhausted, induce the belief that the revenue Kom this source will continue to augment under the pre- sent laws for the next two years, but it is doubted whether this increase will exceed three or four millions. It is believed that habits of economy are prevailin, among our fellow citizens, stimulated and strengthen by the sad consequences of overtrading and a spirit of spe- culation. The disposition to husband their means pre- vents the purchase of many superfluous articles of foreign “! manufacture which were formerly in extensive use. Many fabrics which were heretofore imported, and nearly all those which are necessary to our comfort, excepting those composed of silk, are manufactured within our wa borders as well, and are furnished as cheap, as the productions of other countries. This cause has for several years gradually reduced the consumption of foreign merchandise, and will continue to operate ; and in connexion with a more healthful economy, will mate- rially affectythe revenue. ‘The estimates of receipts from customs for the ensuing eighteen months have been fram- ed in reference to these considerations, ‘A table has been prepared under my direction, which companies this report, (G.) exhibiting the value of fo- merchandise imported and re-exported from 1821 to 1843, and showing the value of articles consumed or left on hand during each year. By a comparison of this table with another (J.) also hereto annexed, showing the value of merchandise imported and the duties accruing thereon for each year during the same period, it will be perceived, as a general result, that the duties were the greatest ng the years when the largest amounts of imported goods were either consumed or left on hand, A compari- son of these for the several years will afford a very idea of the average consumption of forvign goods and the balances that must have been left on hand, and wfll justi- fj ¢ largest amounts of duties were founded upon of importation over consumption; in other words, that the jar and steady consumption of the country did not furnish the means from which those excessive revenues were derived. The inference to be drawn from these results is, that we are not to expect such amounts of duties as characterized the years 1831, 1832, 1835, 1896, and 1899, without the existence of the same cause—importations beyond our wants. And indeed a more general inference may be drawn, that, without the intervention of some extraordinary causes, which there is now no reason to anticipate, we cannot rely upon more than a very moderate increase of duties from customs, Lis proportion to the increase of population for ars come. YeWith-a view to furnish the information collected in this Department, respecting the course and fluctuations of our foreign commerce, in @ conyenient form for examination and reference, several very valuable tables have been ‘ed, which roses bg report. Averg them, ady mentioned, is ent of our ex- Pig meditate: spiatment distin. re free; ometrbfeck to duty from thoee Ut vuishing those subject to duty from Hi ables ‘of the most important articles a from those countries with which we have the most intercourse, designating them respectively; and, also, f our exports to the same countries, There is also a table showing the ‘ross revenue of each year, the expenses chargeable upon jt, and the nett proceeds, All these embrace the period from 1821, when the statistical reports were first made, to year 1842. ate proceeds of the sales of the public lands haye been from the best elements within reach. The de- while it is moderate, and hes ports of estimated mand for these lands is steady, there is no reason to anticipate the wild and excessive rage for purchases which at one time prevailed. If the tide of emigration should take its course towards the shores of the Pacific, it might materially affect the Government of lands, ‘The tracts set apart to the new States and loca- ted by them, being or likely to be in the market, will also have an influence upon the question. These and other considerations not of equal magnitude, but having a bear- ing upon the result, have induced the undersigned to doubt whether the receipts from the sales of lands will be equal to the estimates submitted, which have been obtained from the General Land Office, and are founded upon large pur- chases being made of tracts that will be brought into the market. ‘ The expenditures for the next eighteen months will be diminished toa considerable extent, in consequence of the distribution ae the proceeds of the sales " of pale pore having ceased, of no fappropriations being neces! pew purchases of SSE er eerie of various public brid. (aga, heretofore authorised, being completed, and, it ix hoped, of the claims of militia and volunteers heing near- y satisfied. “Yet from present appearances it seems certain that the deficiencies above stated will exist eres | the present and the next fiseal year, ‘They are but continuances of simi- lar deficiencies which commenced immediately after the deposites were made with the States, and have continued accompanying table (©) various sources acerning 1837, and the 30th September, the expenditures, exclusive of payments for princi- pal or interest of the pape St those made on that ac- count, and the actual es in the wiry amigo It will be seen that the deficiency has been diminishing during the last three years, having been at the rate of se- ven hundred thousand dollars less per year during that time than during the preceding four years. The ave- rage rate of revenue per annum accruing between the Ist of Janaary, 1887, und the 3ist December, 1840, was twenty-ope millions of dollars, while that between the first of January, 1841, and the 30th September, 1843, was ‘htcen millions two hundred thousand dollars per year. Phe accruing revenue stated in the table embraces all the receipts into the ‘Treasury during the periods referred to, excepting those from debts and other funds existin prior to 1837, in reference to the first mentioned period, and with a like exception of receipts from similar funds which existed before 1841, in reference to the second pe riod, and excepting in both cases the means derived from loans and ‘Treasury notes. This view is taken for the purpose of exhibiting the actual revenue, ind dent of accidental and extrinsic additions. Thus, during the first four years the deficiency, in the ordinary revenue was supplied by the balance in the Treasury on the Ist of Jan. 1837, of $16,087,278 88; by receipts from debts and other funds existing before the ist of January 1837, to the amount of $8,576,697 03, and by Treasury notes. During the last fue yore ‘and nine months the vetiaienny ‘was partly sup- plied by the balance ‘n the Treasury on the Ist of January, 1841, $1,196,627 65 ; by receipts from funds existing before the last mentioned day to the amount of $720,723 99; and the residue by loans and Treasury notes. It will be pesseinad slo, that the expenditures for the four years, for all purposes other than the public debt, averaged at the rate of af ar eed millions one hund: and twenty-five thousand dollars per year; while those of the same Character for the last two years and nine months averaged at the rate of twenty-four millions four hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars per annum. ‘The reduc- tion in expenditures for the last mentioned period was much greater than the diminution of revenue. ‘The payments on account of the principal and interest of the old public debt, and the interest on loans and Trea- sury notes during the last mentioned period, exceeded two mil 8, while those between !937 and 1640 were less than seven hundred thousand dollars, From the preceding estimates and state- ments it apy that there will be re- quired for the service of the present fiscal year beyond the means in the Treasury, $4,000,000 00 And for the service of the fiscal year com- mencing 1st July, 18144, beyond the pro- bable revenue, atleast’ - + - - 4,500,000 00 $8,500,000 00 The loan of 1841 becoming due Ist Janu- ary, 1945, amounts to : a * - 5,672,986 88 The'balance of the Treasury notes which were outstanding on the 3d March, 1843, and were not redeemed by the last loan, amounts to : - + = 4,656,397 45 With respect to the last item, the balance of unredeem- ed Treasury notes, it is supposed that adequate provision for the present is made by existing laws, which authorise the funding such notes ina ten years’ stock, or the re-is- sue of them before the Ist of July, 1844. Some observa- tions will be found in asubsequent part of this report ex- planatory of the views and course of this Department in regard to these Treasury notes. In this place it is deemed proper only-to express the opinjon that no legislation will be necessary to provide for this amount of more than $4,000,000, other than the continuance by Congress of the provisions of the act of March 3, 1843. The loan made under the act of 2ist July, 1841, is in terms redeemable at the option of the Government after the Ist of January, 1853, yet it is not doubted that the un- derstanding of the lenders at the time was, as it always is in respect to loans on similar terms, that it would be re- deemed at the specified time. In the opinion of the under- signed, the practice of rendering loans indefinite or uncer- tain as to the times of payment, ought not to be indulged when it can possibly be ‘avoided. .\ postponement su; posed to be temporary from yeu, to year embarrasses the Operations of the Treasury by the uncertainty of the de- mands which may be made upon it. In the present abun- dance of money, it is believed that a new loan might be obtained, on a fen or fifteen years’ stock, on terms more favorable to the Gavernment than those on which that about to become due was procured. This course is re- commended also by the consideration that the probable de- ficiency in the revenues of the next fiscal year to meet the ordinary expenditures will be sufficient to call forth all our resources without encountering this additional amount. The remaining eight millions five hundred thousand dollars, the estima’ nditures over the receipts of the present and next fiscal year,must be avoided in whole orin part by a reduction of the public expenditures, or provision must be made to meet them by an increase in the revenue. Both these topics, therefore, demand consi- deration. First, a reduction in the expenses of the Government. The subjects for retrenchment fall peculiarly within the province of the legislative branch of the Govern- ment, particularly those of a general character. There are some, however, which are necessarily better. known to the departments having charge of them. It is believed that the expenses of collecting the revenue from customs may be materially diminished by the abolition of some collection districts, and of some offices in other districts which have ceased to be useful, and by a more exact re- | See of the compensation of those officers who may be retained, The subject has heretofore been brought to the attention of Congress, and it is again respect fully sub- mitted to its consideration. Any additional information that has been obtained, and the views of the Department in detail, will cheerfully be communicated to the appropri- ate committees. ‘A large and unnecessary expense is frequently incur. red in the proceedings to obtain judicial condemnation ot is of small value, which have been seized as havin n illegally imported. In one collection district, an inasingle quarter, out of forty-three cases of seizure, ces of costs. were by the United States in thirty-nine of them, ave fifty-four {dollars in each suit. This is probably an extreme case, but the eyil known to be very general. If no claimant ventures io ap pear, the conclusion seems irresistible that no defence ex- s. It is submitted, therefore, whether a more prompt and economical mode of proceeding may not be adopted con- sistent with the rights of all. Congress has made liberal rovision for the remission of forfeitures where they have been incurred without fraudulent intent, by a short and simple process, which saves to the applicant the costs of a trial, It would seem but just that a similar principle ld apply in favor of the government. In cases where the appraised value of the goods seized shall be less than one hundred dollars, an ample public notice might be gi en requiring claimants to sppear and give security for s in case of failure, and in default of a claim, the goods ight be sold at public auction and the proceeds deposited in the Treasury for a convenient period prior to final dis- tribution, to be refunded in the proper cases, ‘The act lating the amount of compensation to be retained out of their fees by Clerks of District and Circuit Courts, when the same person officiates in both capaci- ties, has received a construction by one of the Cirenit Courts which defeats the purpose that Congress seems to have had in view, and requires amendment; if it be intend- ed that the surplus of fees beyond the given amount shall belong to the Treasury. Considerable ex; might be saved by a modifica. tion of the act of June 12, 1840, which would allow the consolidation of two or more hi aM hs 3 districts, when- ever the remaining surveys therein could, in the opinion of the Department, be completed under the Surveyor General of one of them; and by authorizing the discon- tinuance of land offices whenever their expenses exceed twenty per cent. of the annual amount of sales, and an- nexing the lands unsold to some other office. ‘The acts making permanent and indefinite tions might, with great Mah ag be revised with a view of ascertaing whether justice to the country, as well as economy, does not require the repeal of some of them, or at least # limitation of the time for which they shall re- main, or of that in which applications shall be made and Ina Bie daalact ap Seca cnerees ape te ic Cc mn will be the subject of special woe Secondly. It becomes the duty of the uuders to examine the remaining question presented, whether any and what provisions can be made to meet the contem- plated, deficiencies, or such portion of them as may exist after the reduction which Congress may direct. The al- ternatives which samgest themselves are direct taxation, an augmentation of the proceeds of the sales of public lands, the increase of existing duties on imports, and the imposition of duties upon articles now free. jt is presumed that direct taxation of real or personal propert would not be attempted until all other resources ave filed. The undersigned has therefore nothing to suggest on this subject. it is not believed that any modification of the land laws can be made by which any permanent increase of reve- nue from the public domain can be secured. Some tem- porary accession might be obtained by reducing the rice of land offered forsale, but it would be with the azar, if not certainty, of destroying a rich fountain, whose regularand steady stream is kept up by maintain: ing amoderate price ed to the circumstances of our fellow citizens,and yet not inviting speculative in- ments. Our ultimate resources, then, must be the du- ties on imports. And when it is considered how large a portion of the expenditures of the government is caused by our lighthouses, by our foreign intercourse, by our nav and other means to protect and extend our commerce with foreign nations; and with how much more equality and equity a tax upon the importation of foreign merchandise operates upon all classes than any other ‘mode of raising revenue; with how much © it is collected, and how it entirely avoids all collision with the State sovereignties respecting the subject of taxation, this mode of supplying the wants of the government will commend itself to favo- rable consideration. Suficient information has not yet been obtained res- the ting the tical operation of the act of 26th Au is, establishing the existing. rate of duties on for importations, to authorise an accurate opinion of probable results of its different provisions. The com- mercial statistical statement required by law, embrac- ing the returns from the 30th of September, 1542, to the June, 1843, is in course of preparation by all the force that can be ied to it, and it is hoped will be laid before the two Honses of Ci in the course of the rips Kee! it will embrace the first 9 months dur. ing which the present tariff’ has been in operation, it will probably contain the information. But the under signed feels bound to say, that, from the examination of reports he has cansed to be made from the principal ports and from a view of our commerce, after the best consideration which he could give to the subject, he has not been able to discover any of the existing duties which can be increased with any reasonable prospect of aug: enya eg revenue, ‘The dan; from this source i that articles upon which high duties are levied will either be clandestinely introduced or not imported at all. It is believed that to the great vigilance which has prevailed during the past season along the coast and on our extended infant fro it is mainly owing that the fraudulent im. portations which had been anticipated by some have been prevented. The temptation, however, should not be car- ried so far that success in one enterprise will remunerate for the losses in several failures. On the other hand, looking at the subject exclusively in its bearings upon the revenue, the undersigned is not pre- red to specify any very important rates of duty that will Pear reduction winless the deficiency be su ed by duties apon other arti¢les. Those levied gn glass, particular kinds of iron, coal and sugar are considered by many too high for revenue pw ; Should the statistical infor. mn refe to, exhibit such a result in t to these or any other articles, they will doubtless arrest the attention of Congress Assuming, what will probably be found to be the case, that no essential improvement of the revenue is likely to be effected, at least for the present, by an increase of the propria. duties already existing or by a reduction of them, it be- comes ope to inquire whether any articles now free of duty can with propriety be subjected to. a moderate im- st, and whether there are any other means of providing r the anticipated deficiency. The articles now free oi avy. which present them- selves most prominently as subjects of impost, are teas and coffee. In the last annual report from this Depart- ment this source of revenne was indicated. ‘The necessi- ty of resorting toit is as prarent and more urgent now eesti wen ten: ‘The opinions of importers of these ar- ticles, of merchants and otticers of the customs in vari- ous parts of the United States, as communicated to this Department in pursuance of its request, are unani- mously and decidedly in favor of such duties as “more equal and less burdensome than any other mode by which the same amount could be collected.” From the organi- zation of the government to the year 1832, duties were laid upon these articles. In that year they were repealed in pursuance of the recommendation of the President, which was made, as he stated, in consequence of the na- tional debt being extinguished, and the revenue being abundant forthe public service. The reason for that poli- cy having ceased, and additional revenue being indi: - sable for the most economical administration of the ve ernment, it cannot be doubted that our fellow citizens will acquiesce in the necessity which requires such an impost as cheerfully as in any’ other burdens which they | are called to bear for the security and protection of them selves, their property, their rights, and liberties. Notwithstanding the opinions of some, I cannot doubt that the price of these articles would be enhanced to consumer to some extent by the imposition of dutie: But it may be questioned whether this effect would not tempor Cofiee is in various countries, and be the amount produced has imereased of late years idly. Should the competition between those coun- tries or become so active as to enable us to choose the source of supply, the duty may fall upon the pro- ducer, In. respect to teas, the opening of the China trade, and the exchange for them of out coarse cotton fabrics, instead of specie as heretofore, will enable us t obtain larger supplies, and at cheaper rates. But, whi ever may be the increase of price to the consumer, an whether it be permanent or temporary, it would be fairly distributed among the whole community, for nearly all are consumers ; and by a proper adjustment of the rates, it would fall chiefly upon those who used teas of the most expensive kind, ‘Hence a specific duty in reference to cost would be most advi + In order to exclu spurious article which has some- times foreed its way Seog. us, it would be expedient to fix a minimum value at sixteen or twenty cents per pound. A duty of five cents per pound on all teas costing twenty five cents orfunder, of seven cents upon those costing from twenty five to thirty five cents, and thus advancing the duty according to the cost, would afford the most cer- tain and practicable mode of collection, while it would be the least burdensome. With respect to coffee, it is repre- sented that the difference in value between the various descriptions in use among us is not such as to render an ad valorem duty necessary or expedient, A moderate spe- cific duty of two cents per pound, when brought from the country of its growth, in Asia, Africa, or America. and three cents per pound when imported from Europe, it is believed would be fair and moderate. Such a duty may be estimated to produce at least two millions five hundred thousand dollars, Fromaduty on teas, gradua- ted as above suggested, we may expect to realize about one million five hundred thousand dollars. Much, how- ever, will depend upon the terms of our trade with China, It cannot be supposed that duties to the amount of four millions, distributed among nearly eighteen millions of persons, would be seriously felt by any; even assuming that the consumers would exclusively’ bear the burden, and that it would not be divided between them and the producers.

James Gorvon Benner, Esq.:— Dear Sin:— At seven o’clock last evening a general alarm of fire prevailed, which was found to be ‘caused by the burning of a row of untenanted dwelling houses in Schuylkill Sixth street, below Wood st., supposed to have been set on fire. Again, at half past two o'clock this morning, the tocain was sounded, arousing our citizens, the signal given being N. W. The fire was discovered to be the burning of the roots of two dwelling houses in West Penn Square, above Market street, which was subdued after considerable labor and with eat difficulty, Hon. Charles McClure, Secretary of the Com- monwealth, and ex-officio Superintendent of Com- mon Schools of the State of Pennsylvania, will ar- rive in town to-morrew from the seat of Govern- ment, and will seater during his stay at Bridge’s Merchants’ Hotel, Fourth street, near Arch street. The object of his visit to the city is,to examine the system of instruction and progress of public educa- tion in the public schools of the city and county of Philadelphia. About five o’clock, yesterday afternoon, a man, named Jacob Reidenbach, was arrested by officers George Hughes, of Lancaster, and E. D. Woodruff, of this city, on a charge of obtaining $2,450 from one of the Lancaster Banks, in the names of Mar- tin Groff and Henry Measter, by false pretences.— It appears, according to the statements of the offi- cers, that Messrs. Groff and Measter, who are re- presented as substantial farmers of Lancaster coun- ty, were induced by the accused to sign or endorse separate notes, one for $1200, and the other for glo, under the belief, from his representations, that the amount was only $300 or $350 each ; that having obtained their signatures he drew the money, two thousand four hundred and fifty dollars, from Bank, and left for this city. Upon discovering the amount of money that hzd been drawn, Mr. Groff offered a reward of 0100 for the arrest of Reidenhach, which arrest took place yesterday, as above described. He had just returned from Baltimore, whither he went from this city on the 2nd inst. The warrant upon which his arrest took place was issued by Mr, Osterfo, a magis- trate of Lancaster county, and the prisoner was’ taken on in the night line by the officers. The same officers also took with them Oliver Bachman, alias Perry Marsh, who was acquitted of a Srriin of forgery afew days since, but who is claimed as a fugitive from justice, having been in- dicted about four years ago, in Lancaster, for an alleged ussault and battery upon officer Hughes, with intent to kill. He fled from that charge, and his arrest and trial in this city, on charge of forgery, gaveMr. Hughes informa. tion of his whereabouts. Barnard Bail was taken to the Hospital last evening, having received asevere stab in the abdomen, inflicted with a shoemakers’ knife by Baker Stanton, ina scuffle had with him in Shippenstreet, between Seventh and Eighth streets. jefore the Mayor last evening, aman named Morin was held to bail te answer a charge made against him by Lo- retta Horner, of haying cominitted upon her a rude and le indecent assault while walking in Broad street, near Spruce. The great vi ist Ole Bull is announced again at the Chesnut Street eatre, to appear only once more on Fri- Jay night, and on Saturday he appears in this city forthe last time at a Concert he will give in the Musical Fund Hall, I anticipate at cither place an immense concourse of our citizens, numbers of whom have not yet listened to the enchanting strains of this wonderful performer. ‘On Saturday, in the Quarter Sessions, Risley Bacon,the man, convicted of constructive larceny of two thousand do! , from one of the boarders of the United States Hotel, at which house he was a servant, was sen- tenced to two years confinement in the Moyamensing pri- son.

The report of the committee on finance in the Legisla- tnre of Georgia, places the late executive of that State in avery peculiar position. ‘The sum of $122,043 43 was set apart and pledged to the payment of the public debts, of which the executive applied only $53,421 83. to that pur pose, while much the larger portion was applied to ob, jects not only unauthorised by law, but to objects for which different provision had been made. When the State loan, ed its creditto the Western and Atlantic Railroad, it was done in bonds, the embarrassment of the times denying any other means of so doing. The State was indebted to Roid, Irving & Co. near half a million of dollars, under very peculiar circumstances. An agent had been sent to England'to negotiate the bonds of the State, and when he reached there, arevulsion had taken place in public seeu rities. Unable thento sell, he deposited the bands with Reid, Irving & Co., to be sold as a favorable occasion might arise. While they, with no hope or prospect of speculation, but simply to aid the State in her policy, ad- vanced tg him a large sum of money—expecting that when the bonds were sold, which would be very shortly, they would reimburse themselves the advancement, and remit to the State of Georgia the overplus, They were to receive an interest of five per cent only on the amount ad- vanced, until the bonds shauld be sold. These bonds were nat sold at the passage of the act referred to, nor are they yet sold. ‘The funds which the State was receiving from taxes and other sources of revenue in 1841, were in an ir- rédeemable currency and greatly depreciated. Reid Ir- ving & Co, were pressing most zealously the payment of their money, and the redamption of the bonds, Public honor demande’ of Georgia a prompt compliance with the requisition of her creditars.
