The Revenurs end the Expenditures of the Govermment—Retre chment Postponed, The grand aggregate of the appropriations for tue curr. ni fiscal year, to meet the expendi- tures of the federal goverument, of all Kinda, gives us every reason to apprehend that among the first necessities of the next Congress will be a demand from the Executive for a loan to supply the wants of an empty treasury. The following exhibit of the year’s appropri- ations, which we tind te our hand in the columns of the Courisr and Enquirer, will sbow to the incredulous reader bow the money goes for the support ef the peace establish- ment, under the “retrenchments” of General Pierce’s administraffon. Peace or war, the sum total exceeds the annual schedule of ex- penditures of any year since the adoption of the Federal Constitution. With fifty thousand men engaged in the war with Mexico, the an- nual expenses of the government were less than under the peace establishment of General Pierce. Here is the bill of cusis for the cur- rent fiseal year :— APPHOPRIATIONS MADE AT THE FIRST SESSION OF THE THIRTY THIRD CONGRESS. Civil and Dip.omatic .\. t Conrtructio ; 060, Mexican Treaty Appropriations. 10:00 5000 Invalides and other Fension do. 850; West Point academy do. 149,000 Fortiteauons do. 934,00 Indian do. 2,270,000 indisn War..... 18, ' Koads, Claims, & , &e Indefisite appropriations, payment of interest ‘on National Lebt, &e , Collection of the Re- venue fromy Customs, Ocean Stesm Appropriation lost, Dut still required by contract) A Ke., 5,000,000 2,100,000 (nccluentaal; Deferred U1 River and Harbor bill... For Secret Cuban service Total amount of expenditures rovided aud to be provided for within the year. 82,145,000 Add.to this sum total a bili of indemnities which will be required om account of the bom- bardment and bur. ing of Greytown, and allow something ter other contingencies, and the bill for the ficcal year wil rise to the handsome figure of at least ninety millions of dollars— being an increase of over thirty millions upoa the average of Gen. Taylor’s and Mr. Fillmore's administration, including Gulphin and Gardner claims, This increase in the civil list is about seven millions of dollars; for the army some three millions; for the navy, including six war steamers, rome five millions. The ten millions extra to Santa Anna are a new thing, though probably only the precedent for another similar bill or two before the end of the present adminisiration. Tho growth of the coustry, the opening of new ‘Verritories, the necessities of new Siaie:, and new custom houses, and the increase of offices, justify. to a considerable extent, an inercace of appropriations. The strengthening of the navy and of the army may also be sustained as measures of wisdom and expediency, at the preseat crisis iu the affairs of the civilized world. But no such apology can be made in reference to the spoils appro- priation of ten millions to Santa Anna and his affiliated corps of spoilsmen—Mexican and American; no pretext of justice or necessity can be sustaiued for expenses such as those of the Greytown frolic. We confess that the country is mainly in- debted to the House of Re; re-entatives for the defeat of the Wisconsin, tiv Minnesota, and other railroad log rolling and stock jobbing echemer, amounting, in the \ills which passed the Senate, and in the bills introduced into both houses, exclusive of the Pacific railroad, tog projected conficcation of the public do- main scarcely lees in value than fifty millions of dollars, These schemes were the eapeclal peta of the Kitchen Cabivet. The faiiure, also, of Colt’s patent extension, and other patent monopoly favcritiems, recommended in general terms, in the President’s annval message, ae worthy the special attention of Congress, has saved the public from a taxa'ion of*many mil- lions; provided, always, tha: the next session is not conquered by the Kitchen Cabinet and the lobby. But had the recommendations of the administration been carried out in behalf ot the land jobbers and the patent monopolists, to ihe extent of the bills intro! 1ced, the Ameri- can people would have been saddled with ao increased bill of costs, in various shapes, of not tees than one hundred millions of dollars. For these retrenchmenis upon the programme of the administration we are mainly indebted « the House of Representatives; and in view of this feet there may be +ome pa’ iiating ex- cure for the balf million cf dollars, more or tere, voted for such “\ickings and stealings” among the House contingen’s, as books, exirs printing, &., &c. From these book specula- tions, the Clerk of the House, and other mem- bere of the Kitchen C.bivet, will, no doubt realize something handsome in the way of trade; but these ure trifles compared with the railroad jobs and the parent m n »polies, yield- ng their bundreds of thou-and- of dollars for the Kitchen Cabivet and the lobby. Taking the whole bill of expenditare, mad and to Le made for the current fiscal year, re ular, irregular, and ex!ra rdivary, at ninety millions of dollars, and admit ing thst Coo gress have made retrencbme ts in the pro gramme of the adminisiration apoilsmen equa! to a bundred millisns, ®e are still apprehen- sive that the current expenses of the treasury will exceed the supplies. If we are not mis taken, the tariff receipts for the Jast fiscal yea were, in round numbers, seventy-six millions o dollare, From the r-ductiovs in the firet quar- ter of fhe current year, and from the fact thet (otal Cust: m Hous, receipta “Or this fsea’ ya: will jro ab'y nok exceed bixty m liners’ Throwing ‘ut the pub- Ne lands, a8nt iked, to yicli anything for the furure bey nd ne expenses of their manage- ment, we must depend e.tisely upon the curtoms in any safe estimaes of our future mezne. With receipts of sixty and a suryius in the outset of th ry millions, the emeunt cf the supplies «f the treasury will : ninety mVion-. The Lill cf costs, ac- tual and estinat d, for the curvent year, being uiety millions, it is, therefore, bighly proba ble that before the first day of Jaly next, Secre- tury Guthrie will be left without ad lar in the treasury, of his original ru:plus of thirty mil- lions, and his magnificent collections from the customs. What follows? We are given to understand pretty distinctly, that before the expiration of this fiscal year we may count upon the pur- chase of Cuba, or a war with Spain, including such u)lies as may choose to join her. Thecash price of Cuba can hardly be less than $150,000,- 000. Rumor bas it, indeed, that the adminis- tration has offired that rum for the island. A war with Spain, including France and England, however skort the war may b:, can hardly Gwount to aema ler infliction upon the treasury. Peace or war, therefore, the current supplies of the treasury being otherwise absorved, among the first acts of the next Congress, or probably among the acts of the next session, we may ex- |. pect & loan of fifty millions or so, for the firet instalment for the purchase or conquest of Cuba. By a judicious application of the princi- ples of retrenchment and reform, on the other hund, there might be in the treasury by the firet of July next, above all the liabilities of the peace establishment, a surplus of from fifty to seventy-five millions of doliars. What, from these figures and deductions, are the reasonable final estimates of the foreign and financial policy of the present administra tion? Simply these--that though it came in with a large surplus in the treasury, it will go out with a large deficiency; and that in regard to Cuba, it ismore likely to involve us in a war of indefinite duration and doubtful results, than to compass a peaceful acquisition of the island. We have outlive! the age of “re- trenchment and reform.’’ Spoilamen govern us, and corruption rules the roast—thanks to the Baltimore party conventions for the adop- tion of the one term principle. City Ratiroad Mon ea, The language beld by the residents of the Eleventh avenue in relation to the Hudson River Railroad cars may be unreasonable in some respects, but in the main it well deserves attention. To talk of tearing up the rails or employing violence in any shape to remedy the course preposterous: a recourse to such mea- sures would place the railroad company in the right and the indignant residents of the avenue in the wrong. We trust no such folly will be attempted. As matters now stand, there is much to be eaid in favor of the complainants. Whatever service the railroad cars may render to business: men who live in the country, the in- jury they inflict on the street through which they insist on running their locomotives is plain andindisputable. Noman would willingly con twenty miles an hour a dozen times a day close past bis door. If he have children, the danger is fearfully increased : and we can quite uader- stand though we cannot approve the violent feeling such a practice has aroused along the North river shore. It is of no avail to urge, on behalf of the company, that the convenience oi travellers requires that the locomotives should proceed as far as Thirty-first street; it is far better that the customers of the Hudson River Railroad who live at Yonkers and do business in town should spend half an hour more on the read, and be drawn by horses as ‘ar as Fifty-ffth or Sixtieds street, ¢han that the residents of the avenue should be kept in perpetual terror of their lives. Public conveuience isa presi thing no doubt; but public safety is of iar more importance. And when it becomes a question whether the convenience of merchants or the lives of the residents of the avenue shall be sacrificed, no reasonable person can hesita‘e or an instaut in deciding that the former must zive way. If the dangers of which complaint is made could be called problematical or visiovary, a defence might be set up for the course of the company. But sad experience has furnished omple proof of their reality. Frightful acci- ients—occasionally causing the death of inno- cent individuals—are constantly occurring on the line of the Hudson River Railroad. If any one could be found to pretend that a locomo- tive running through a populous street was not likely to cause accidents to life and limb, the records of the Coroner's office and the city news column in the daily preas would at once give the lie to the pretension. Bat no one has ventured to set up so hold a defence. The dangeris admitied on all hands; and it is fur- ther obvious that it would be fearfally increas- ed were it not ‘or the constant watchfalness and anxious cire which it imposes on the resi- dents of the) cality. The city has no right to impose any such burthen onits inhabitants. It has no right to grant & monopoly which shall subject one section of the people to an incoa- venience compared to which the delay dreaded by the customers of the railway is trifling and ineignificant. The residents of Eleventh avenue are entitled to the same protection and aecarity as we enjoy: it cannot be pretended that it is granted to them ro long as the locomotives are permitted to rush past their doors, crushing everything in their resistless course, and send- ing @ thrill through the heart o! every mother in the neighborhood. What is to be done, then? The same difficul ty bas«ccurred in other citi 8; and each has solved it in its cwow.y. The Paris termini are at the outskirts of tie city; should the lat- ter: pread along the line of ihe road, provision is made ‘or removing the terminus still further out. No inconvenience is occasioned by thix arrangement; as ca\.riclets and other hacks con vey travellers to the terminus in @ very short epace of time und for a very small expense. We are far behind the Parisians in this respect. Two of the London termini, those of tue Green- wich and Blackwall Railways, are ia the heart of the city : in both cases the rails are Inid on visducts on a level with the second story of the houser, 80 that the traveller looks into garret widows as he is whirled along. The other Lordon termini, those of the Great Westera, Northern and Southera lines, are on the outskirts of the city ; and in general the railroad compe nies own the land on both sides the line A pro- ject has recently been set on foot to establish a centra} terminus in Paddington street in the cen- grievance of which complaint is made, is of sent to have a train of cars whirled aloug at LEE AN LTO NNT OCALA | into effect, al! the Ines would be brough: on via- ducts or in tunnels threazh the city. The great tunnel at Liverpoo', into which the tralu eaters | st the entranc: of the suburb-, and which dis | embogues itseli in one of th» bas'est streets in | the city, is doubtless familiar to all our readers. | In Boston, the railroads ‘own the road over which they travel, and protest passengers oa | the cross roads by mean; of gates, which are | closed when the trains are expected. Here are a variety of plaas, all of which meet the case propored to us The Hudson River Railroad can eitber build a viaduct, on which the locomotives could travel to Cham- bers s'reet; or excavate a tunnel with a mouth at the sime place; or purchase a line of road as far as their present depot at Thirty-first street; or build a new and single terminus at the outekirts ot the city, say between Sixtieth and Eightieth streets. Any one of these courses would silence complaint and give sutisfuction to the public, But as the expense of either of the two first would probably prove sa iasu- perable barrier to their adoption, and as the acquitition of a continuous line of road from Fiftieth to Thirty-first street, if practicable, would be at least equally costly, the only plaa which does not seem open to objection would be the removal of the New York depot to a epot where habitations are so sparse as to ob- viate any danger from the running of loco- motives. This step, we imagine, will be ulti- mately forced upon the company, if the city is alive to its interest and its duties, before very long. There is no reason why the complaints of the residents of Eteventif avenue should no be heard and acted upon without delay. The city is under no obligations to th: Hudeon River Railroad Compavy. It has not thought fit to follow the example of the Harlem road, and run city cars for the accom modation of residents in the avenues. To the complaints of those whose persons or property have beeninjured by the reckless pace at which the cars travel through Tenth avenue and Hud- son street, the company has turned a deaf ear; and the line is now not without reason regarded by the people of those localities as a public nui- sance. Should any practical steps be taken to set matters on a proper footing, the Harlem road should be included in the indictment. Its de- pot at Thirty-first street, though open to fewer objections than that of the Hudson River road, in consequence of the tunnel, is still too near to be pleasant. Both should be carried beyond the limits of the city; and when this is done, the practice of running freight and passenger cers with steam or horses into the heart of the city should at once be probibited. Tae Presment’s Oncan anv Mr. CHANDLER, —The Hon. Joseph R. Chandler, an old whig ex-editor, of Philadelphia, and at present, as he has been for several years, fram his first elec- tion, a useful member of Congress from that city, is a Roman Catholic. A year or two since, as our readers will remember, he made the trip over the water, in company with the Hon. George Briggs, of this city. They parted at London, whence Mr. Chandler pursu:d his way to Rome, from which place he returned greatly strengthened in his religious faith, by the parting benedictions ot the Holy Father. All this, as it appears, perfectly innocent as it is, may prove to be very unfortunate for Mr. Chandler in regard to the chances of his re- election to Congress, The administration is deeply concerned for Mr. Chandler, inflexible old whig though he is; for the President’s organ thus betrays its un- epeakable grief and indignation upon the sub- ject. Discoursing upon the movements of the Know Nothings in Philadelphia, the Union says that— ‘the next victim that these partizans expect to lay their bands on is Hon. Joseph R. Chandler, the highly esteem- ed whi representative of Gongress from Philadelphia, who-e standing in the national Jegislature as a generous, gifted, honest and patriotic gentleman, is only equatied by the warm affection entertained for him at own home. But Mr: Chandler, like Charles Carroll, aad like Roger B. faney, is a Catholic, and bis sentence is said to be written already. He is inexorably foreaoomed by the new party leaders now in power Hw far the people will submit to this ortracism of an eminent und beloved eitizen, we are anxious to see. How far the city of Penn will lend itself to a persecution almost as revolt ing as that which drove our fathers from their far off homes, we are to ascertain. Politics has strange avd sudden freaks, but this would be the most extraor- inary of all. Generous sympathy! Wonder how the ad- ministration will come out of the Pennsylvania October election! InFormation Wantep.—One of our “con- stant readers” desires to know what the demo- cratic Van Buren Soft Shell State Convention ofthe 6th of September are likely to du upon the following points :— Who will they nominate for Governor ? What will they do upon the Nebraska ques- tion? And upon the Temperance question? And upon the Know Nothing question ? And upon the Canal question? And upon the Common Schco! question? And upon the Spoils question? And how will they come out of the election? We answer that, from the lights before us, the Van Buren free soil spoilsmen at Syracuse will very probably nominate an “outsider for Governor; whip round the sharp corners of the Nebraska bill, or split upon it; repudiate the Maine Jaw, with a proviso in behalf of good liquor; give the Know Nothiugs a wide berth; cut a double shuffle upon the Canal question; dodge the School queetion; stick fast to the spoils, “ hold- ing the President in their arms,” (minus John McKeon,) and come out of the election as weak and stale as dirh water. Their last chance is a glorification of the bombardment of Greytown, and a repudiation of the bill of coats. The lact chance. Tne Ganspen Treaty—A Nest-Eac ror Axotner.—Our attention has been called to that part of the Gadsden treaty which brings the new boundary line to a point on the Colorado river ‘twenty miles helow the mouth of the Gila;” and we are asked, ‘does this mean south ina direct line, or down the channel of the Colorado?” We don’t know. It may be that this indefinite phraseology is the result of a design for another boundary dispute, and that it was intended as a nest-egg for another trea- ty, involving anotber appropriation of ten, fitteen or twenty millions to the parties con- cerned. We may expect, therefore, as avon as Santa Anna’s present ten millions are squan- dered, te hear of another boundary question with Mexico, and another Gadsden treaty. Tae Waio Masses—Thorlow Weed callx upon the * whig maeses”’ to rally to the restora- tion of the party. Let him call again, a loud call, and call quickly, or they may all be gover to Saratoga. The “whig masses” are wanted. “Maxtxo Rome Howt.”—It appears that Hon. John P. Hale, at the Anti-Nebraska Con- vention at Rome, {in this State, on Wednesday last, ‘ spoke with great power for two bours.’ Summer Awvsements—Norss From THe Wa- renrxo Piaces.—We publish in to-day’s paper inten sting correspondence from various of the retreats known 08 watering places, We pre- sume that the habitués of snch “retreata” as Saratoga, Newport. Cape May and , Niagara, pursue happiness in the usual style. The ladies promenade, flirt, polk, bathe, simper and eat bon bons—the men lounge, drink, smoke, play whist or faro, and atrend to the ladies. The fact that there is really no business being done at present in this city has crowded nearly all the watering places, particularly on the sea shore. Newport has been very thin, as far as visiters are concerned, until the past week, when all the hotels were filled up. The letter of our correspondent places before the public in astrong light the meanness of many of the householders at this village. .It appears that they are engaged in the delicate business of cutting their own throats—i.e., they take it for granted that every victim who cannot get lodgings at the hotels, and is, therefore, obliged to rely on their tender mercies, is @ fair prize, and they bleed him accord- ingly. This will have the effect to keep many people away from the piace in future seasons; whereas, if those persons who let lodgings would be satisfied with a fair profit, their customers would be glad to return to them. As the case stands now, only millionaires can afford the luxury of a season at Newport. The number of visiters at Niagara during this ceason has been comparatively small, on account of false reports relative to the cholera. We have the very best authority for stating that these reports are whully unfounded in fact. The only cases of cholera, or ot any dis- ease resembling it, have occurred among a few laborers at the Suspension Bridge, and there is not the slightest reason for apprehension oa this score by tourists, however timid they may be. On the 9th instant the hotels were very comfortable, and the weather was delicious. In naturel advantages, ealubrity of elimate, and other very pleasant things, Niagara is far superior to any of the other watering places. Saratoga Springs is the scene of a great deal of gaiety and dissipation just at present, and the ceason will be equally fuit during the next three weeks. The Anti-Nebraska Coavention ig to be held at this place on Wednesday. Several of our correspondents, having be- come tired of crowds, and the frivolity and heartJessness of snobs and parvenus, as dis- played at the fashionable watering places, have sought out for themselves quiet nooks in the country. and there they enjoy all the delights of rurality, without any of the drawbacks of heavy expenses, uncomfortable rooms, and im- pertinent servants, which are the unavoidable consequences of a residence in any place which is frequented by people who are anxious to make e great show with the few dollars that chance or cheating has placed in their pockets, Such are the variety and extent of this great country that all tastes may be satisfied, and communication is co easy and so rapid that Pleasure seekers have only to “pay their money, and take their choice.” Let every body, then, make the best of the three cr four weeks which are still left for en- joymcnt, either reral or marine.

Drax Srr—I have readin your paper of to-day what purports to be an extract from a newspaper called the National Democrat, published, I am told, in this city. Its low grade, probably, having re- moved it from my sight, I am indebted to your columns for authentis information of its present ex- istence, and of that part of its contexte which you publish. Iam not in the habit of seeking recom mendations for those who are applicants for place I need not say to those familiar with the Custom Bouse how abundant is that commodity. I have no knowledge of ever having asked any person to re- commend any one for office, or of ever having made efforts to procure any such recommendation. As I cannot conjecture to what “scoundrel” the Nutional Lemocrat refers, I suppose tia. I may uz well rankly admit the superior knowledge which its editor seems to possess of that ciass of men. I will thank you, Mr. Editor, to publish my denial, though aware of the evidence which it farnisbes, that of ali that affecta the scoundrel fraternity the Narionai Democrat in better informed than I am. Yours, very respectfully, ° Joan Cocarans. New York, Aug. 12, 1854. Marine Affaics.
