The items of the probable umount of leceipts and expen ditures lire ns nearly correct as 1 can give them, from the lights of tlie past. in reference to the umount of 81,000 per annum for the sup port oftlic Penitentiary,this amount might he made as n con tingent appropriation, to he drawn on for the purchase of raw materials, and when manufactured and sold, to bo repluced. For it is evident, from the experience of the Inst two yenrs, that this institution may he made a source of re vouuc to the State. The item of 815,000, for incidental appropriations, may lie diminished or increased, as the number and justness of the demands may lie made on the Legislature. It will be observed, from the probable estimate of document No. I, that the nggregnte amount of expenditures for the finan cial years 1 .-<40 nml ’-17, is 8572,’263. And the nggregnte a- mount of receipts for the same time, under existing tu.x laws, is $514,000; leaving a balance of 858,208 unprovided for. Under this view, the law makes it my duty, in the event of a probable deficiency in the revenue, to submit estimates for additional revenue. In accordance with the requirements of tlie law, I herewith submit document imirkcd No. 2. It is proposed that the rate of taxation shall be fixed on all the enumerated articles, with the exception of real estate, with the improvements thereon, including machinery of every kind. It is also proposed that the digest of the several re ceivers shall be returned to the Comptroller General by the fiist day of July of each year ; and that it bt: the duty of the Comptroller General to find the amount of tax assessed front (lie enumerated articles of taxation, nnd then sue what rate |Htr cent, on the real estate will make the umount required for the wants of the Government, and byacirculnrdirectcdto eucb Collector, instructing him the rute per ct. he must collect on till real estate, not to exceed at any time 1-4 of one per ct. This system proposes more of equality than the present tax laws, and also throws the burthen of taxat ion upon those best able to bear it. Ills also well adapted to our bienuiu) sessions of the Legislature, as the amount proposed to be assessed can lie increased or diminished, as the wants of the Government may demand. The 4th section of the act assented to 281 li December, 1843, also makes it my duty to report to the Legislature the amount of debts bearing interest for each year, distinguishing between Sterling and Federal Bonds, and the rate percent, pnid upon each kind of Bonds, the umount at each rate per cent. paid. Also the rate of exchange paid. 1 herewith submit document marked No. 3, showing the amount of Fed eral Bonds ; also the amount of Sterling Bonds, reduced to federal money ; amount of interest paid on eucb, and the rate per cent. Also the rate per cent of Exchange. All of which is most respectfully submitted. W. H. MITCHELL. Treasurer. NO. 1.

II. MITCHELL, Treasurer. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP BRITANNIA AT BOSTON. Nf.w-York, Nov. 22. I The Britunuia sailed front Liverpool on tho 4' li inst., and wc have papers from that city to that date, from London to i tlie 3d, and from Puris to the 1st, inclusive. Our accounts in a commercial and financial point of view, ; arc more important than limy liuvo been for I ho lust twenty ! years. A terrible revulsion Ims commenced in England, , greater than thut of 1825, and similar to that of Ir-37 in the i United 8tutes. ’This revulsion lias been produced by the | combined influence of u bad harvest all over England and Europe, and a bad monetary system, and the unthinking infla tion in railway speculations. Ail stocks, and every staple is going down—except the price of breadstuff's, which the im pending fumine enhances mid improves. Tiiistcrriblo move ment is just in its commencement. The first blow has been struck—and in Irelund, the agitator O’Connell is abeady using it for the purpose of opposition to the union. The ; English Government seems to be in n state of alarm, and Sir | Robert Peel is calling cabinet after cabinet, lo deliberate on the opening oftlic ports, and the best means to meet impend ing famine. Cotton is down—corn is up—and the excite ment caused by the revulsion is increasing every day.— Wliat the result may be, no one cun tell—perhaps it is the “beginning ofthu end” of the financial and political super structure of Engluud and France. American news to the 16th, was republished in London pa pers of tlie28th, together with speculations of the American press on the affairs of Mexico, Texas and (lie La Plata.— The London Times, in an article on American polities, re marks tli it tLl- commence incut >H ihe scs-ion will, in the ! course of n month, call from Mr. Polk it lull and authentic statement of the policy oftlic Government, and adds thus— “the message of the President of the United States has sel- ; dom hud more momentous topics to deal with, more impor tant doubts to remove, more hidden tilings to reveal.” The chairman of tho American Chamber of Commerce, j Liverpool, lias received a letter from Lord Suiulon, express- j ing his Lordship’s approval of the memorial to the Privy Council in favor of admitting Indian corn, llis Lordship thinks that such a course on the part of our Government would greatly strengthen in America, the hands of those who ad vocate a relaxation of the tariff. I The Puris share market is in a still worse state than that ! of London or Liverpool. ' It is rumored that the bunks of England and Franco uie | about to make arrangements for the reciprocal remittance of railway deposites, so us to obviate the derungcuicns in the ■ currency. Accounts from I.cipsic uud Frankfort state that the com mercial interests in both those cities were in a very embar rassed state, and a financial crisis was inevitable, j Thirty railway speculators have taken “French lenve” of their hunkers in Vienna ; the consequence is n fall in shares, and a curtailment of credit. Another advance of a half penny on tho 41b. loaf took place on the 28th tilt, in different parts of London ; the “top” price, therefore, of “cheap” bread is now 8Jd, and of the i best wlieaten 94d, and in some places lUd the 4lh. loaf. Warlike Preparations.—There is evidently a screw loose between us nnd some of other of the countries from i which, according to royal speeches, wo are everlustingly re- * reiving assurances of love and amity. Preparations forsud- , den hostilities is going on in all directions. Signs of the t/tti rice are to be traced in every quarter. Old fortifications arc | being repaired, ud.letl to, and strengthened. New ones arc j being erected. There ia uu u .usual hustle iu the nuvy j ynrils, ns well hs in the arsenals. Ships arc being made j ready up to that point from which they could at once lie pusli- j cd into immediate service. Those in service are gradually , increasing their crews to the war compliment, while a large I fleet, delicutely culled “uu experimental squadron,” us un I army of observation is sometimes designated a cordon sunita- I ire, is in high order, and fully manned, prepared for a dusli to any part of the world, and against «»* i’h-iuv m-hmh#* whom it may lie required. But what is it nil for, wlint is it nil about? These preparations cannot he from any apprehen sion of a quarrel with tho United States about Mexico and the Oregon territory. Some of them are being made too near mo for that. The real cause is, we opine, without mincing matters, that, in spite oftlic recent bathing-machine alliance, things are not quite comfortable between us and our French neighbors just now. The causes of difference, if not dispute, between us nrc, indeed many. Not c nt'«fi< il wall kicking us out ol 8pain uud turning ns out of Greece, ilioy are busy with their intrigues in Chinn, thut they may curiy off'the advantages for which we fought and conquered in the lute, war with that country. Their eagerness to repeat the fable oftlic wolf and the lamb towards our ally of Morocco muy also, in the end, lend to an unpleasant issue with ns.— But the grand hone of contention just now is the marriage of one of Louis Phillippe’s sons with the sister of the Queen of .Spain, which is sure to elevate him to the throne of that country, and bring about a new nnd formidable compact be tween Franco and Spain. Me say (hit stub a marriage would surely elevatetho French prince to the throne of Spain. \V e have not a dotiht. of it. Louis Phillippe has no such thought; lint the wretches by whom Queen Isabella i> sur rounded and held in captivity, arc too deeply steeped in crime uml blood and villainy, to hesitate about adding one more murder to those which they have already committed, to subserve their selfish and ambitious purposes.—Liverpool Chronicle, Nor. 1. Stock Gvmiji.ixg.—We find in Thompson’s (N. Y.) Bank Note Reporter mi expose of Wall street stuck gam bling. The account says, “Wo have three Boards of Brokers, (some call them breakers) the Upper Board, or responsible, silting in secret conclave. The L< icir Board, (a majority of w hich have been lame ducks) sitting under a canopy in the great room of the Exchange—and the Street Board, which is composed of a heterogeneous mixture of “gags,” both Jew uml Gentile, ns ever shaded the Hugging. 'J he members of tho street bouul are generally called the HoaRiS. The aptitude of this appellation any ono who comes into Wall street will fully appreciate. File Bears are those who sell stocks to he taken up at a future day, expecting to buy in cheaper. The Balts are those who buy stocks to he taken up at u future dav, expect • ing to realize un advance. The same broker may he a hear on some stocks and a Bull oil others. Shorts, are those who have sold mole tl.mn they hold; Shorts uro Bears. Longs are those who hold more stocks than they have to deliver ; Longs are Bulls.” The modus operandi by which the big fish eat up the small ones in Wall street is thus described : Jacob, John and James being the great operators of the street in money, stock nnd foreign e.x- hange, Jacob says to John and James, “Let us make an ‘operation.’ We will sell out, put exchange up to I0A, and scarce ut that—let the im porters ship a little specie—call iu our stock loans, and eith er frighten or induce tho Bank to call in theirs—knock stock down ten per ceint—then authorize our ‘stool pigeon’to buy in for us for cash or on time,while we ure offering to soil, for effect. While the panic is on, we can sweep the market and get contracts for three times as much stock as there is in the company. W’e can then make the money market easy by a fall in exchange, uud stocks will rise, by our becoming ostensible buyers. When n ten per cent rise has taken place, wo will loan on stocks to within ten per cent of their selling price, and call in all our time contracts. In this way wo will force stocks up twenty per cent; when wc will, thro’ our ‘stool pigeons’ sell out as clean as a whistle, and sell on time touli who have more money or credit than brains left.” ‘Agreed’ says John and James; and the ‘operation’ is made. Suffice it to say, that ut this stage of the ‘operation,’ ex change rises again—money is light—slocks full, lame ducks waddle out of the Boards and join the Boars in the street, and the flats wonder uliy things took suck a turn. Value or Charcoal.—From the following experiment in the use, this year, charcoal on wheat lands its value will he duly estimated : Field Nr. I, 20 acres, 50 bushels of coal per acre, 25 bushels of wheat per acre. No. 2, -I acres, no coal, 5 Imsln-ls per acre uud badly rusten. No. 3, 15 acres, 5 i bushels i if coni, 25 hiislnl- i.f wheat to il.eacie. No 4, 25 acres, 50 bushels of coal, 33 bushels of wheat to the acre. No. 5, 15 acres, 25 bushels of coal, 25 bushels of wheat. No. (5, b acres, no coal, 5 bushels ofwlicut. No. 7, (i acres, no coal, 3 bushels of wheat. The roil uud i uliurc were pre cisely alike, mid the grain was sown in April uml May. The soil abounds in lime and organic mutter. The co.il costs 830 per 1003 bushels, ground iu a common hark mill. Taxation.—Whatever system of taxation may he adopt ed by tlio present Legislature, (one, we liojie, which will ho more equal than the present system,) it is absolutely neces sary that the mode of giving in taxable property should bo so altered as to enable the tax officers to know when all tho taxable property in the State has been returned. There is u large amount of land and other taxable property in the State which is never returned for taxation, uud which the officers hnve no means of identifying. This is n wiong done to the tax-paying citizens, against w hich it is the duty of the Legis lature to provide. A provision that the tax upon laud and other property should lie paid in the county where it is loca ted, would remedy this evil, liy enabling the receiver of tux returns to know when all ihe property of his comity hud been returned. This provision would remedy another evil, viz: that of assessing n county lax upon the properly of residents alone, the expenditure of which is cqmilly beneficial to the property of non-residents.—Albany ((la.) Patriot. A Large Woman.—A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says—There is a woman living within 15 miles of Mobile. Ala.
