the expenditures of the fis- cal year more than one-third of the annual interest on the canol debt, consequently one-half ef the mill tax will cease after the collection of the tax assessed ia the year 1844. ‘Tha whole of the mill tax levied in 1844, aud pay- able into the Staie Treasury on Ist of March, 1845, is to be applied to the use of the general fund, and after that the general fund will be aided by a tax of halfa mill, and the people will be relieved from the pay ment of the other half. which has been assessed under the law of 1842. Within twelve months, there is due ond payable of the canal debt the sum of $3,742,626 01. The means on hand applicable to the payment of this debt amount to $2,691,- 225 69. This leaves a belance to be provided for from the revenues ef the current year of $1,051,400 12. Of the steck which falla due in January, 1846, the Com- missioners have already in their hands, as an investment for the surplus tolls, or Sinking Fund, the sum of $546 - 005 03. There is also in the hands of the Comptroller, in trust for the redemption of the circulation of certain banks, the further sum of about $100.000. This leaves $1,716,529 68 of the stock reimbursable in January, 1846, in the bands of the public. With the balance of the Sink- ing Fund, about $650 000, the balance of the Canal Fund, ofter paying the Erie and ( hamplain canal debt, together with the surplus tolls of 1845, it is believed there will be a suffi sient sum to meet the Chenango canal stock, as it is presented for redemption in 1846 All the chartered banks of this State were required by the act of 1843, to meke returns of their circulating notes to the Comptroller,and to deliver their jJates into his cus tody on or before the Ist of July of that year, and all notes issued prior to that date were required to be burned iv presence of an officer sppointed for that purpose, on or before the Ist of July, 1844. The results of the state- ments made are as follows : Awount on hand and in circulation, July 1, Amount in actual circulat: ss» 11,647,320 Amount on hand end in circulation, August Ist, 1844... ve aces cence » 1,916,022 Amount in actual circulation. + 1,646,237 Since the Ist day of August last, evidenoe has been re- ceived of tho burning of $366,290, reducing the amount 0 non-registered notes in the possession of the banks to $1 659,732, which includes tae actual circulation. ‘Tho total of each denomination of registered notes in the possession of 86 incorporated banks, on the Ist day of December, 1844, was as follows: Reorrersp Asti oh or tHe Banxs or New York, ec. 1844. $l notes..... .. $1,084,630 = note 1,829,210 1,191,149 notes wel 16 $100 notes. 5,570,120 $500 notes. $10 notes. +++ 3,744,280 $1000 notes. The fund to redeem the issues of the insolvent Safety Fund Banks, appears to be almoat insolvent itself. The fund, on the Ist of January, amutnted to $179,193 72, and the amount to be paid is $1,017,000 00, leaving the sum of $937,806 28, to be provided for to discharge all the obliga- tions of the safety fund. The Comptroller says, that the whole number of associations and individual benkers that have deposited securities with the Comptroller and re- ceived circulating notes therefor, under the act to autho- rize the business of banking, passed April 19, 1838, isone honored and nine. Ten of the number have been closed by their own stockholders, and their circulating notes ree deemed et par, and returned to the Banking Department, except the sum of $4,147, for the redemption of which funds are in the hands of the Comptroller. Twenty-nine of the 109 benks before referred to, have been closed by the Comptroller.

Interesting Diplomatic Movements of Mr. Calhown War Spirit in Congress - Corruption of Tyler- ism ~The Foreign Ministers in trouble, You will remember that some time since, a gang of slaves of eight or nine, burned a house in Flo- rida, or that vicinity, and after murdering the fami- ly, escaped to Bermuda. They were indicted by 4 Grand Jury for arson and murder, and a demand made by-a former S-cretary of State for their deli- very to our authorities ior punishment. This was refased by the courts oi Bermuda, and the slave: still remain there. A most positive despatch will be issued by Mr. Caihoun to our minister, Mr. Kverett, to demand the immediate action of the British government before the adjourament of Con- vress. This giapait will be most positive and de- cided, and will be sent out by the next steamer. The war feeling in Congress is tremendous. It is believed that the foreign pelicy of Mr Calhoun, will, through ite action on the manufacturing sys- tem of England, soon produce an internal revolu- tion of that country. Evgland has attempted to destroy our Union—we can upset her government, and liberate her down-trodden masees The most cordial feelings of friendship, even to excess, appear to exist here between the British Minister, Pakenham, and the French Charge, the wife of the fatter, ata recent party, having presided at the house of the former, and even sent the cards of invitation. They have had sev ‘ral meetings the past few days,at one or twoof which Almonte, the Mexican Minister, was present I give this to you for what itis worth The announcement ef such precious good feeling would rt suit the ears of the countrymen of the French Charge iu Paris. All these are in trouble. As soon as John Tyler leaves the administra- tion—if not before—there will be the most astound- ing expositions of fraud and raseality as to giving out of contraets and offices ever developea. Have von heard that story relative to “Jones, of the Mudisonian,” and the iron steamboat at Pitte- burgh—the saeacy of one from Philadelphia in the business, and a lady of Brooklyn, who was here with him—the promise of $2,000, and the cheating of Jones in the end out of the whole fee. While Mr. Webster was here, it is eaid, a regu- lar per centage was received for the distribution of offices; of course, unknown to him. TWENTY-KIGHTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION. In Senate, ‘Wasuineton, Thursday, Jan. 30. Prayer by ike Rev Mr. Tustin. Journal. The Clerk of the House reported, and delivered to the Senate the following House bills passed yes- terday, to wit: — ‘ The annual bill of appropriations for the payment of revolutionary and other pensions.

Petitions severally referred. Baptist memorial ordered to be printed. Mr. Atcuison reported a bili for the relief of Seth M. Leavenworth. A resolution was adopted that when the Senate adjourned it should adjourn over to Monday next. The bill amendatory of the laws relating to United States Covsols— being u bill conferring upon commanders of United States ships the power to act as consuls in behalf of American seamen, in all such foreign ports where no resident consul may be established—was takenup, considered, and ordered to engrossment for its final Treading. The bill relating to Revenue Cutters, and Steam- ers in the Revenue Service, was ordered to a third reading. [When read in detail, we shall notice its provisions. } ASSISTANT SURGEONS AND PURSERS. Oa motion of Mr. Bayagp, the bill providing for the appointment of some fifteen assistant sur- xeous, aad twelve assistant pursers in the Naval eervice, was taken up. a An amendment of the Committee was read providing that none of the officers aforesaid, shail be less than twenty-one, nor more than thirty-five years of age; and that no Chaplain shall be ap- pointed to the service whose age shall exceed thirty years. _ ¥ Mr. Crirrenven said, that this was a most ano- malons sort of an arrangement. Here it was pro- vided that no man shouid be eppointed a chaplain whose age exceeded thirty years. Now, he would have thought it preferable to exclude men who were less than thirty years of age. But here the position is reveraed. No man shall be appointed a8 chaplain in the navy, who is over thirty years ot age. Mr. C., too, was surprised at this silent sort of mode of acting upon a bill appointing eome twenty-seven or thirty additional officers in the aavy. Mr. C. hoped the gentleman would be able to give some explanation. Meantime he should move to lay the bil on the table. Mr. Bayarp —I hope not, sir. ° The Cuam.—Does the Senator withdraw th motion ? * hat Mr. Carrrenpen.—Certainly, sir, if the honorable Senator will give us a sort of an explanation. Mr. Bayarp said that this bill for the appoint- ment of these additional surgeons and pursers, was not adopted thy committee reporting it from mere caprice, but from a sober consideration of the requirements ot the service. The President and the Secretary of the Navy had recommended these additional appointments tor the effective or- ganization of the Navy; and the Board of the service upon this subject had recommended that no chaplain should be appointed whove age ex- ceeded thirty years. Heretofore many of the chaplains in the Navy were but little better than pensioners upon the government. The service re- quired young, active, hardy, and vigorous men, in every capacity. In the election of members to this Senate it was an advantage to require them to be of not less than thirty yearsof age. Clereymen did not improve by sge and grow better and better like a cask of Madeira wine ; but they grew worse with the infirmities of years, and (Onderdonk for example,) were unfit, at all events, for serving in the Navy. On the other hand, the older and the more experienced the surgeon, the better, in most cases. Mr. B. read various extracts in support of his views from the Medical Bureau and the Secre- tary of the Navy. " Mr. Crrerenpen said the Senator had made a sort of an explanation; but he was not satiefied with auch an explanation. Mr. C. me.ntained, on the other hand, that there was no necessity for these additional appointments proposed. In 1843 there were sixty-nine surgeons in the navy. Have we ever, at one time, sixty-nine veesels at sea, or half that number? It had been eaidthat the Oregon had to go out without a surgeon, or with a private gen- tleman as such, because there was none disengaged whose services were at the command of the Se- cretary. Now, it was plain that sixty-nine surgeons were enough for all the vessels in commision, and all the naval stations, and that sixty-seven pursers were all-eufficient for the present oiganization and force of the navy. Enough—more than enowgh— for sea service and for naval stations all together. Mr. Crittenden contended for the superiority of old men for chaplains, in preference of young men, who were more likely to contract the frolicksome habits of sailors, then to infuse into their minds anything like religious disctpline. He also opposed. the propoeed preliminary examination of the body of the candidate for chaplain by some doctor, as vou would examine a common foot soldier, to see that he were sound in wind and limb. ‘The liberal education required was also an invidious distinc- ion to which Mr. C. was entirely opposed. : On motion of Mr. Merrtcx, the bill was laid upon the table, with a view of resuming the Poet Office bill. icc Mr. Simmons from the committee on printing, to which had been referred the question of prints 5,000 copies of the Report of the Commissioner ° the Patent Office, reported with an amendment shat the number of copies be increased to 10,000 Mr. Agmusy said, that on seoount of the value.
