Miles run by passenger train, 21,600; by freight, 11,160. The Jength of road in operation is 29 miles. This road was construsted by the Ithaca and Oswego Railroad Com- pany, and was purchased by Archibald Mclatyre and his ateociates, at published ssle of the Comptroller in Albany, on the 20th of May, 1642, for the sum of four thousand five hundred dollars, which, together with the eum of thirteen thousand five hundred dollars paid for locomotive engines, burden and passenger ears, together with ether property requisite to put the road in epera- tion for business, amounted to the sum of $18,000. ‘The receipts of the New York and Erle Railroad Com- pany for the month of February, 1848, were $20 748 59, ageiont $17,988 for the corresponding month in 1847, showing an increase this year of $2 811—equal to about fifceon per cent. This is smull compared with other Tailroade in this State, when take into consideration the fact that the earnings of this year have been derived for » much greater length of road. ‘The annexed table exhibits the aggregate value of merchandize exported from this port during the past month, distinguishing the extent of the shipments to ch country :— Comuznce or THE Pout or New Yoax, Fesrvaky, 1849 For Mas Fer ida.

The value of exports for the same month last year, was $3,192, 626, independent of specie, showing an excess in the ship- ments of merchandise over thore for the same month this year, of $1,056 630. A corresponding falling off in the export trade of all the ports, will make a very great difference in the aggregate for the year. ‘The Committee of Ways énd Means of the Legisls- ture of Alabama, to whom was referred so much of the message of the Governor of that State as referred to the public debt and financial condition of the treasury, have reported the result of their investigation. The in- debtedness of the State consists of bonds issued for bank- {ng purposes, and the several trust funds held by her. ‘The annexed table exhibits the items and amounts, rate of interest, timeof payment, places payable, and annual interest :— Avanama Boxp Dest Rate Paya- Payaein InNew In New Annual Interest. “bie London. “York.

A new tax bill has been presented to the Legislature of Alabema, ia which the ad valorem principles of tax- ing property has been adopted. No great increase in the revenue from this source is anticipated, otherwire than in the aonual enhanced value of property taxed Whatever deficiency may at first exist to pay the ourrent expenses of the government and the interest on the publio debt, will be supplied xs heretofore from the arsets ofthe bank. The smail and decreasing deficiency each year will etring along the arsets of the bank for a long time, and perheps suffice to enable the State to meet ail its payments promptly, until the value of tax- able property increases to such an extent as will give a revenue from that source large enough for all purposes Within the past year the bond holdersin England sent an address to the General Assembly of Alabama, in con- sequence of statements which have appeared, wherein jt was asserted that provision had not been made for the contiauance of the payment of interest upon the bonds of the State. The bondholders further state that the depresseion in the market value of the bonds is chiefly owirg to the doubt entertained a6 te the continuance of the regular payment of interest as it accrues, in conse. quence of the constantly diminishing funds of the back ts, and the omission on the part cf the Legisiature of the State to eatablinh a sinkivg fund for the redemp- tion of the princ{pal of the debt; and intimate that they will not be tinwwilll.g to continue to hold the bonds be- yond the periods now fixed for their redemption, while they retain confidence in the regular payment of the interest, ‘Tho bonds of the State of Alabama tre renewable at the pleasure of the State, so long an the interest is rega- larly paid as it acorues. Thils is all the St ite ever cou- tracted to do, and if it does that the creditors have no caure for complaint. hetber the State can pay the principal of her debt, is a question of policy and conve- nience, to be hereafter determined give tho foreign bondholdersa word or two. that it is to bo regentted that the bondholders have ro far forgot that courtesy due from creditor to debtor, as to have ventured to presotibe to the Legislature what Provisions should be meade for the payment of either the principal or the interest of the State bonds.

Wasuinaron, March 2, 1848. The Treaty. As you were duly advised by telegraph, the whigs of the Senate had a caucus this morning upon the treaty. The Senate, as usual, had prayersattwelve ; but it was near one o’clock before there was a quorum present, owing to the perfect blank on the whig side of the chamber The resolution of the whigs waa, other objeo- tions being removed, to decline a concurrence in the treaty, on the ground of its informality, and to send the treaty back in the hands of commis- sioners, with ample powers to conclude a peace, upon the basis of the boundary indicated in the articles sent up by Mr. Trist. This, itis believed to-day, will be the plan re- commended by the Senate; and the President having cest himself upon their advice, will be in duty bound to accept it. Mr. Mangum, we understand, led off in the discussion to-day, the Senate being closed up for four hours on this peace question. He defined his objections to the adoption of the present treaty on the ground of its informality, and ar- gued that it was by no means the only alternative between peace and war. The war was ended— there was no disposition manifested on the part ot Mexico to renew hostilities, should the stipu- lations submitted be rejected as unacer ptable—if they be rejected on account of the illegitimacy of the negotiations, and the style of the amplified recapitulations of the document, and because ot the verbiage with which it is encumbered. We may do this, and at the same time provide for a legitimate, immediate and satisfactory treaty, by senaing with the document refv ed, a commissioner with full discre- tion to compromise our relations with the ene- my upon the line suggested es the basis of ne- gotiations. In the discussion to-day, such we learn were the views expressed by Mr. Mangum, and we suppose some fifteen or eighteen whigs are with him. Mr. Benton, Mr. Allen, Mr. Hannegan, and perhaps Mr. Bagby, will be ognipat the treaty, even with the medifications which would make aS mon Pure contract acceptable. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Butler are for it, as a measure of peace, and they hold that the hazard of its rejection will justify its confirmation. Mr. Cass, strange as it may appear, is for the treaty—the ad- ministration is for it—Mr. Cass is for and of the administration—that is enough. Mr. Sevier is for it, and if, as it is said is the fact, the Senate have rejected the tenth emnreserye, grants in Texus) article, the exas Senators may be softened down. But they desire the Sierra Madre, because there their southern borders would be protected by a sovereign State or two resting upon their exposed flanks, and rendering them pertectly secure from all incursions whatever. Briefly, we expect the decision upon the case on Saturday, the 4th inst. We are prepared for @ modification ot the treaty, as an expression of the opinion of the Senate; but even with a modi- fication, we scarcely expect the Senate will say, “‘ There, Mr. President, send that to the digal- taries at Queretaro, as ourultimatum;” but that & com‘ssion will be recommended, with discre- tionary powers. Ww. Wasurneton, March, 2, 1848. The Levee at the White House. The President had open house to-night, not- withstanding an old-fashioned snow storm, a gay and distinguished company went up, and quite a proportion of members of Congress among them. Doubtlees the treaty has had its influence, and not a few of the Presideat’s visi- ters will have learned something in regard to their line of duty in this emergency. The Pre- sident expects the friends of the admniniatrationd to stand by the treaty, and not to follow the lead of Col. Benton. THIRTIHTH CONGRESS. FIRST SKSSION. : je.
