The Thlfohassee Journal, of the 10th, publishes a tabular statement showing tho condition of the Fi nances of the State, prepared by tbe Comptroller, accompanied by a statement from the Treasurer giv ing the Items of disbursement during tho fiscal year dosed on the 31st October. From these exhibits it will be seen, says the Journal, that tho total amount of revenue proper from all sources has been $57,102,- 47, and the expenditures $109,876 31, Including $16,- 813 38 paid on account of Indian hostilities, and to defray the expenses of the last General Assembly.

We send you the speech made by Mr. 8tell, the President of tbe Senate, when called upon to give the csstlni vote in the Bird ease: '* The position, Gentlemen, that I occupy Is an unpleasant ono—the occasion is a tad one. Doubtless, tbe reasons which operate upon tbe minds of Legislators are reasons of sufficient magnltudo to justify tho vote by each respectively given. Tlioie reasons operated In tho other branch of the General Assombly, as well as tills. It It needless to allude to outdoor Influences, but still it may be proper for me to remark that It Is my good fortune never to have known the unfortunate Individual or the decased. It ts perhaps fortu nate that I havo mlugted but little in society in that part of the State, whore prejudices or partialities may havo oxlstod) I thereforefeel free from undue Influences. My course as a Senator has beon uniformly to sustain the decision of the eourts by my votos j never having voted for a pardon un less facts or circumstances of an extenuating chaiaoter had been brought to light, which wero not duly considered on the trial. But here I am very differently situated i hero standing, as I do, charged with the solemn responsibility of easting the docidtng vote whore the llfo of a human being Is suspended upon it—the House of Representatives hav ing passed the WU for tils pardon under the solemn convic tion of their rectitude, and Senators hero acting under similar solemnities, in the exercise of a sound discretion and wise Judgment, stand equally divided—In every analo gous case within my recollection, tho vote of tho presiding officer having been cast on the side of mercy. I, therefore, In conformity to the established usages, cast my rote In the affirmative. Tho bill is pnssod.’* December 14.

Over six hundred persons, with three or four tlnms- sand dependent npon them, will bo for a time thrown out of employmentand on immense portion of the Uuited States whom thoy have lor so many years supplied with hooks, will find that supply for a time suspended. Their own loss, as tho statement in another part of this morning’s Times will show, is enormous—falling very little, if at all, short of a mil lion or dollars. Tho 6atne energy and enterprise, how ever, by which this vast establishment was originally built up, will unquestionably suflico to restore it. Wo understand that no delay will be lost in recommenc ing their business, with such facilities as they may be able to procure, and in providing whatever is neces sary to carry it forward upon tho scale as hitherto.— Their stereotype plates arc all saved, and the main tiling necessary to the restoration of their principal business, is the construction of machinery and the re- erection of tho buildings.

Tho Mirror of tbe 12th saysHaving Buffered from a lire some ten years since, tho Harpers had taken extraordinary precutlons to prevent the recur rence of such calamity. They had a largo atenm boiler in the cellar; no other fire was ever allowed to be used about tbe building in any form. The gas lights were so arranged as to bo perfectly safo. All the buildings were heated with steam pipes, and, in stead of tho charcoal furnaces generally used in bindery establishment* for heating the tools, burners had been provided to take their place. It is necessary to clean the ink rollers used in the Adams presses; and this can be done most effectually by employing eamphenc. In order to render tho use of this perfectly safe, a small room had been provided on the third door of the lower building on Pearl- street, adjoining the press room, so ns to be easy of access from It. This room had beon carefully lined with zinc. The campheno used was kept in shallow iron pans, and the paper, rags, 4c., with which it whh applied, of conrso were scattered about the room. It seems that a Plumber was employed In this room on Saturday to make somo repairs ; and In the course of his work he had occasion to use a light. He lit an oil lamp and threw the match into one of the camplicne nans, supposing it to bo water. It blazed up instant ly, burst through the partitions, aud swept with tre mendous fury through tho entire range of bull dings. This occurred at li o’clock; and In less than two hours the ontlre establishment was in rains. nemarkable Case of Supposed Petrifaction. There arrived, within a few da vs, at the depot of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, lu this city, an ob* loug box representatvd to contain a corpse, and It struck us as somewhat singular 5 It weighed 550 pounds,according to the freight charges upon It. Cu rious to know something more about this mysterious box than tho external marks indicated, we instituted aotno inquiries, and derived the following information which, as wo got it from pretty good authority, wo are inclined to consider correct until we shall receive • bolter explanation: The wite of a gentlemon living in Nelson connty, in this State, died some four yean ago, end was in terred in the usual mannor. Being a native of Wood ford connty, Kentucky, she had requested, before her death, to be harried beside her kindred and in tho home of hor childhood. From accident or de lay, her request was not complied with until quite recently tier relations caused her remains to be disinterred, when they were found to be flrthe extra ordinary weight mentioned above, aver Jive hundred jtoundt. At the time of her death her weight was about 110 pounds. Only tbe Toot of tho coffin, which was still in a good state of preservation, was broken open, when her feet were found to be in a perfect state of petrifaction, tho stone partaking of the char acter or tbe hardest limestone formations In tbe local ity orths grave. The inference is that tbe whole body is thus completely petrified. The gentleman in charge of tbe remains Is having them conveyed to Woodford county, Kentucky, according to the request ot tbe deceased,— Whaling Intelligencer. 9 r Fattening Hogs on Wheat.—On the 4th of October last. I shut up nine small bogs, weighing on an'average 160 pounds each. I cora- menced feeding them on awlll mado of wheat meal, and fed 10 bushels, ground without bolting. I then . had my wheat bolted, and saved the head of the ' _ bolt, and fed the balance, made into swill, till I bad fed ont the coarse feed of 148 bnsbels; snd then fed 20 bnsbels dsmaged wheat and killed thorn and found, after selling ay Sour snd pork, and dednotlug the val- no of the bogs, when l commenced, at $3 per hnri- dred, (the price of bogs at that time.) and the d*ta- Viceroy of Egypt, to make a tour of observation over this country. They wero habited in rich and taste- ful uniforms, and being fine looking men, of elegant manner® witbal, attracted great attention. Both theso gentlemen apeak English with fluency and cop roctnoM.—Star.lilh, Commander Ingraham.—We learn that this gen* tlomau’a friends have very recently applied to tho Secretary or the Novy, to Induce him to order a com mander to the Mediterranean to relieve Commander Ingraham .whoso health is In suoh condition an Justly to alarm them. Tbe application docs not coine from him, we apprehend, though ho, too, cnncoWea that his health requires speedy relief from hi* present du ties. Wo take it for granted that, under the circum stances, Secretary Dobbin will comply with the re quest of his friends, as soon os his successor in tho command of tho St, Louis can bo solected. Tho Autum nnd Its Lessons. All that is CArtbly must fade. This is an anitnal les son taught by the tailing leaf, tho withering Treat, tho silenco which pervndes the*air, and the wreck and decay oTvegetation, os each recurring Autumn as sumes hor reign. Another Autumn la npon us now. The tassels of the corn are dead, and the husks of the standing care havo lost their last burden. Small yel low leaves, that havo exhausted their vitality before the advent of tho frost, are droppingone by one (Vom tho trees. Flower stalks, that but a few short weeks since stood green and growing, bearing proudly up their wealth and floral beauty, now stand stark and dead. The intimations.of approaching dissolution rests upon all vegetation, yet, upon these scenes, the fruits of Autumn aro spread up on every side. Ap ples bend from the bough, nuts wait on the trees for tho loosening fingers of the frost, wains go creaking homes laden with homely roots, the granaries, are al ready tilled, and soon, housed and garnered the pro duct of the year will await tho grateful use of ipan and animal. All that is earthly must fade. •• Wo all do fade ns tho lear.” Man has his spring, his summer, his autumn, and Ids winter. Some leaves wait not for the frost, nnd fall early, hut we do not grow crisp and dry with age. and wo who grow golden nnd glorious in the frosts of time, must all alike follow them to the earth. There arc worm-eated fruits and blasted core-ears in the fields of humanity, ns to the fields of vegetation. The good ones only can find a place in the store-house of tho great husbandman.— The lesson of the autumn bears upon and illustrates the whole subject oi the close of human life. The year is but a hollow farce without the fruit av the grand result. A human life in its autumn, in which is seen no fruit, betrays a perversion so foul that it might make an angel weep, nnd as the angels look down upon tho world, may they find graces which blush like apples among the leaves, characters well filled out nnd clean from all impurity, true wisdom filling all the store-houses, and the seeds of an Im mortal llfo perfected, und ready to be unfolded in Those emlaating gardens. Where angels walk aud aerapus are the wardens. Mr. Thackeray and “Mr. Washington.” Mr. Thackeray publishes tho following letter in tho London Times, of Wednesday : Sir Allow me a word of explanation in answer to a strange chargu which has been brought against mein tho united States, and which your New York correspondent hus made public iu this couutry. lu the first number of a periodical story which I am now publishing, appears a sentence, in which 1 should never have thought of finding any harm, un til it had been discovered by some critics over the wa ter. The fatal words are these— ‘ When pigtails grew on tho backs of the Britbish gentry, and their wives wore cushions on their heads, over which they tied their own huir. and disguised it with powder aud pomatum ; when Ministers went in their stare and orders to the House of Commons, and the orators of tho Opposition attacked nightly the noble lord in the blue ribband ; when Mr. Washing ton was heading the rebels, with a courage, It must be confessed, worthy ol a better cause,—there came to Loudon, out of a northern country. Mr.,” 4c. This paragraph has been interpreted in America as 1 insult to Washington nnd tile whole Union ; and, rrom ttio radnens a«<i 8r„vitj>. with whicjivmir cor respondent quotes certain of my words, Tt is avtaenv he, too, thinks they have an iusolcut and mulicious meaning. Having published the American critic’s comment, permit the author of a faulty sentence to Bay what ho did mean, aud to add the obvious moral of tho apo logue, which has been so oddly constructed. I am speaking of a young apprentice comiugup to London between the years 1770-SO, and want to depict a few figures of the last century. (Tho illustrated h?ad- letter of the chapter was intended to represent Ho garth’s industrious apprentice.) I fancy tho old so ciety with its hoops aud powder—Barre or Fox thun dering at Lord North asleep on tne Trensury-bcnch— the news readers ut the coffee-rooms talking over the paper, and owning that this Mr. Washington, who was leading the rebels, was a very courageous soldier, nnd worthy of a batter cause thun fighting against King George. Tho images are at least natural, and pretty consecutive. 1776—the people in London in ’76—tho Lords and House of Commons in ’76—Lord North—'Washington—what the people thought about Washington.—I ani thinking about '76. Where, iu the name of common sense, is the insult to 1853? The satire, if satire there be, applies to us at home, who eslted Washington “Mr. Washington,” as we palled FredcncK tinFtirout •• tho Protestant Hero,” or Napoleon •• tho Corsican tyrant," or •• ueuurui Uoimporte.” Need I say that our officers were in structed (until they were taught better manners) to call Washington “ Mr. Washington,” aud that the Americans were called rebels during the whole of that contest? Rebels!—or course they were rebels ; nnd I should like to know what native American would not have been a rebel in that cause? As irony is dangerous, and has hurt the feelings of kind friends whom I would uot wish tooflend, let me say, in perfect fnith and gravity, that 1 think the cause for which Washington fought entirely just nnd right, nnd the champion the very noblest, purest, bravest, best of God’s men. I am, sir,your very faithful servant, Athcnrcum, Nov. 2*2. \V. M. Thackeray. Turk’s Island Salt.—Mr. JII. Bcrrett, Vice-Con- sul of the Uuited States at Turks Maud, asserts that the statements of there being au unusual scarcity of salt at that place are entirely without Inundation. He says that when he left the Island, on the 2d Novem ber last, there was not less than 300,000 bushels of salt of.tlio finest quality on tho island. As this is the principal article of export from that place, it may be important to the mercantile community to make this correction. Mortality.—The wbolo number of deaths in this city, last week, was 375. Nino of them were caused by cholera.
