I have re turned thanks to President Jack son for relieving me from the troubles and cares of the public office I held here. I have the pleasure to inform my friends, that I think 1 shall make twice the emolument of the office, by devot ing my attention to other business. The President and the mem bers of his family and his Cabi net, who accompanied him on his visit to Old Point Comfort, Nor folk, Portsmouth, and the Navy Yard, returned to the scat of go vernment on the 13th inst. in the steamboat Potomac. The visit of these distinguished citizens, says the Norfolk Beacon, to this section of the State, has been ve ry gratifying to the people, who have omitted no opportunity to manifest their pleasure on the oc casion; while we have every rea son to believe that they leave us well pleased with their" visit, and with a favorable impression of the hospitable character of the inhab itants of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and their vicinities. In his reply to the address of the Mayor of Nor-J folk, the President said: "I trust I am duly sensible of rhe responsibility which rests up on me, in the arduous station to w hich I have been called under the Constitution of our country; and without venturing to hope, that 1 shall be able to realize all that you may expect from me, 1 can only say that I shall certainly endeavor to give you an honest Administration. A correspondent of the N. Y. Courier, sketching the portraiture oi some of the public men who accompanied the President, says: "The Secretary of the Navv, the Hon. Mr. Branch is one of those gentlemen who, by a kind ness of manner, immediately takes, lie is tall and well pro portioned is graceful in his jres tures, and polite and affable in his intercourse with others. While possessing all the kindness of hu man nature, he is a close discern cr of things; firm in his purpose, and full of energy m his ofhee. We may expect a great improve ment in his department, and the Navy will find the benefit of his administration.

The Washington N. C. Echo of last Saturday says: We are au thorised by an Inspector of Naval Stores for this port, who has a general acquaintance with the makers of turpentine, to state, that there has been, and will be, a considerable deficiency of the ar ticle brought to market this year; owing to a cool and late spring, which prevented turpentine from running, In addition to the fore going failure, heavy and continu ed rains in the month of June caused considerable quantities of turpentine to wash out of the box es and waste which will reduce the quantity that would have been made, at least one-fourth, if not one-third less. There will also be a considerable quantity held back from market, by extensive makers of turpentine, and by those who are not compelled to sell at the present reduced prices, The supply of turpentine alrea dy brought into market this sea son, has been less than formerly by several thousand barrels. Ncichcm, July 25. Our citi zens were highly gratified on Thursday by an unexpected visit from the steamboat Petersburg, Capt. J. W. MTtea. We arc! happy to hear that the object of this visit is to ascertain the prac ticability of establishing a regular line between Ncwbern and Eliza beth City, and with this view Capt. M'lyea intends for the bal ance of the season to run the Pe tersburg regularly between the two places, leaving Ncwbern eve ry Friday noon for Elizabeth Ci ty, so as to meet the steamboat which leaves Norfolk every Mon day morning for Baltimore and leaves Elizabeth City every Wed nesday morning, so as to reach INewbern the next morning. The ing at the port of Philadelphia in the first quarter of the present year, is but $492,047 18. while that of the corresponding quarter in 1H28, was 881,554 04. We have already noticed the decline of revenue here, which in the same term exceeded two mil lions. Nexb- York Ei Post. The Revenue. It is somewhat remarkable, that the fallacy of the estimates made by the late Presi dent, Mr. Adams, as to the reve nue of this year, should so early be manifested. In his message to Congress on the 2d December last, he speaks of "a propitious maruet naving opened to the gra naries of our country," owing to "the harvest of all Europe having fallen short of their usual aver age," and then adds: "We may consider it certain that, for the approaching year, it has added an item ot large amount to the value of our exports, and that it will produce a corresponding increase of importations. It may, there fore, confidently be foreseen that the revenue of 1820 will equal, and probably exceed, that of 1828, and will afford the means of ex tinguishing ten millions more of the principal of the public debt." And yet in the very first quarter ot the year thus promised as so abundant, there is a falling off of two millions and a half! Mr. Ad ams was a tolerable rhetorician, but the very worst and shallowest statesman we ever had at the head of government. Phil. Sent. Contradiction.
