The Chancellor of the Exche quer has presented his budget for the ensuing year. Although he had the pleasure of announc ing a surplus of nearly two and a half millions, still the manner in which that surplus had been disposed of was, it is said, anything but satisfac tory to the country. Ministers, it is said, but on what authority Ls not stated, hold office by a very precarious tenure. In developing the views of the government on financial matters, the Chancellor proceeded, as it is said he was obliged to do, on two kinds of estimates income and expenditure making the fiscal year commence on the 5th of April, 1S49. He estimated that the public income of the J financial year, ending the 5th of April, would amount to 32,755,560, and the expenditures to ifoO, 533,651. He calculated the probable sur plus to that day to be .2,250,000. As for the estimate for the year ending 5th April, 1551, he said he could not hold out the hope of such favor able results, and anticipated a falling ofl in the customs, owing cl-.iefly to the reduction in duty upon sugar, and partly from the reduced impor tations of other articles, such as corn, &.c.

Gextlemen : This morning, at the age of 68 jears, John C. Calhoun expired. Long as his death has been apprehended, it comes upon us as an unlooked for bereave ment. The star of the Western hemis phere has been stricken from the firma ment. It belongs now to another universe All unite in feeling that our Republic has lost its most brilliant ornament and large section its almost idolized champion. During nearly half a century of public life, in which Mr Calhoun has gone through various stages of political ad vancement save one from the local to the general Legislature, from the Ca binet to the Vice Presidency, and from the Vice Presidency back again to the Senate, he has been regarded as the great Statesman and Patriot of the age. He now slumbers in death. His last hours were in unison with his whole career. Yesterday it became clearly apparent that he could survive but a very short period. He was restless and evidently weaker, but notwithstanding he set up for two hours in the early part of the day. He conversed very little until evening, when some letters were read to him, upon which he commented. He spoke of the feeling of the south on the present agitating subject, and expressed his confidence that there would soon be but one sentiment, that the Southern people was unwavering to the last. At half-past 12 o'clock he commenced breathing heavily, which occasioned some alarm to his son, Di. Calhoun, the only member of his family present during his last illness. He remarked that he felt unusually wakeful, and requested his son to lie down, who objected. Then lie ask ed his son if he felt uneasy? His son replied : I do ; had you not better take some wine, father?" He replied : "No; 1 don't require any more stimulus." His son felt his pulse, remarking, that it was very low. Mr Calhoun said : k 1 feel that I am sinking ; but you had better lie down, John." His son did as he was re quested, but felt very uneasy, as the diffi culty of breathing still continued. At 2 o'clock this morning, he called in a very feeble voice : ' John come to me.'' He did so, when Mr Calhoun put out his arm and asked him to feel his pulse, re marking. I have no pulsation at the wrist. Take my watcli from the table and put it in your trunk ; " which was done. He then pointed to a bureau of drawers, anil said ; Take my papers, and put them also in your trunk." (These papers are the manuscript work on Government and the Constitution. J He then remark marked : "The medicine has had a delight ful effect. I am in a pleasant perspira tion." At about 5 o'clock, his son took a seat by the fire, desiring - his father to take some rest, who saiil he had not rested Mt nil. Hi son ;kofl if lio hm! .imv n.-iiti? He repled : 'No, I have not felt the slightest pain throughout this whole at tack." His son asked : "Are you com fortable now?" He replied : I am per fectly comfortable." These were the last words of Mr Calhoun At about quarter before six he made a sign with his hand for. his son to approach the bed. Holding out his hand, betook that of his son, grasped it closely, looking very intently into his face, and moving his lips as if he desired to speak. His son perceiving that he was speechless, at once called the Hon. Mr Venable, of North Carolina. When the latter went to his bedside, Mr Calhoun took hold of his hand, pressed it, and presented his wrist, appa rently to indicate his approaching dissolu tion. He looked Mr Venable very intent ly in the face while he was feeling his pulse. Mr Venable remarked ; You are pulseless, sir, and must take some wine," and called for Medeira. Mr Cal houn took it in his hand, raised his head and drank it. Mr Venable then left the room to summon some friends, and was absent about five minutes. Soon after the Hon. Mr Orr, and also the Hon. Mr Wal lace, both of South Carolina, entered the room. When the door opened his eyes were directed towards it, and were fixed upon Mr Orr as he walked towards him, until he reached the bed- Mr Orr leaned over to feel his pulse. Seeing his purpose, Mr Calhoun extended his arm. He was asked if he would have the physician, Dr Hall sent for. He shook his head. He then presented his wrist to Mr Venable, who remarked : The wine has produc ed no e fleet -there is no return of pulsa tion." He adjusted his bead on the pil low, looked Mr Venable in the face, with an expression which seemed to say : I am perfectly conscious that it is all over." A few moments after, when breathing with some difficulty, he put one hand to the top of his head, then passed it through his hair, and brought it down again upon his breast. He then breathed quietly, except a slight rattling in his throat, his ev es re taining their brightness, and his counten ance its natural expression, until the last breath, (which was drawn w ith a deep in spiration,) when his eyes suddenly became dim. They were immediately closed, by Mr Venable. After Mr Calhoun's eyes were closed, bis countenance was that of one who had fallen quietly asleep. He was conscious t. the last moment. At about 8 o'clock on the evening pre vious to his death, Mr Calhoun remarked that his mind was never clearer ; that he had great facility in arranging his thoughts; and in reply to a remark of his son's, that he was fearful he was overtasking his mind with thinking, he said : I cannot avoid thinking of the political affairs of the coun try. If I could have but one hour to speak in the Senate, I could do more ;ood than on any previous occasion of my life." J. A. S. THE MAIDEN AND MARRIED LIFE OF MARY POWELL, AFTER WARDS MRS. MILTON. Sketched for the Carolinian, by C. L. I)., from a receut work. j On my seventeenth birth-day, I could have hail my fortune told by a gypsy, but mother objected, just as she had offered to tell me the color of my husband's eyes. Cousin Rose is married to Master Roger Agnew; such a young girl married to an old man! Why he is nearly fifty. After the wedding, mother went to uncle John's to trv to borrow some money, for father owes five hundred pounds, and knows not how it will be paid Dick and I mounted the ponies for a race, and came upon a gentleman with a beautiful countenance, and lovely eyes and hair. He smiled and stroked Clover's mane; then gave me some wild flowers- I said that Adam named all the animals in Paradise, but Eve the flowers. He looked smilingly at me and said that was pretty." 1 asked Dick who he was, and he said Mr Milton, one of father's creditors. Next day went to see Rose anil found Mr Milton there. I told her I had seen him before, and thought him very pleasant. She said he was one of the greatest scholars of our time, and had written some of the most beautiful verses you ever heard. After some conversation with him about poetry and romances, we started for home, and Dick gave him an invitation to come and see us. Mr Milton and Mr Agnew dined with us the next day, and that night 1 had a heavenly dream about moonlight walks. Strane things are dreams. I have seen Mr Milton very often late ly. I really believe he likes me, but mo ther don't like him Ralph Hewlett is dodging about as usual, but I guess 1 have sense enough to prefer Mr Milton's com pany to his. Father called me to him and putting his arm around my waist, told me that a well esteemed rrnn 1 1 nmn 1 1 isk o: ac cess to the house to try and win my love. I of course fainted at this intelligence, but soon came to enough to ask '.vho it was. Father said '"uess.'' I replied very snft- 'guess.'' tr a i . i . . IV, "I cannot, ' ami witn tins tale tr.e blood rushed to my cheeks. Well, father, it is Mr Milton. Now what mother say when she comes. Mr Milton is at our house to dinner said will . 1 hate to go down, but still I want (o see him. After dinner I went to the fih-ponds he was soon at my side, and before we returned to the house, I had promised to be his. I feel quite vain to think 1 have won so fine his bride When Dick said father was ill, he then gave his consent. So, early in the morning, we started. When I ar rived at home, father had been a little un well, and Dick had told this tale to get me home. They were all very kind. Rose and Mr Agnew came to see me. My hus band has found out all, and' written very unkindly to me. Dear father seeing me took so dull, asked me if there was bad news. I replied Mr Milton wants me home at the end of the month. But he said I must not go, and I concluded to stay a littler longer. My husband wrate me another letter, upbraiding me for stav ing from him, ami requesting me to come immediately home. I went to father and told him I must go, but he saiil not yet. 1 persisted, and said my husband was angry at my staying so long; but he would not consent and snatching the letter, read it, which pro voked him, and he said I should not go un til he came after me. Mr Milton sent Hubert for me, but fa ther sent him away before I saw him. Q! that I was home! Rose came this morning to entreat me to go to Mr Milton. I told her I intend ed to do so as soon as father would agree to it. I was miserable and as a pastime commenced the study of latin. Surely Mr Milton will come for me. I spent some time with Rose, and overheard her husband say, " I believe Moll loves one of those long curls of hers more than she does Milton. I will cut them two inches short er, thought I. I tried to get Mr Agnew to write to Mr Milton, but he said that I was not penitent. and he could not do it. Rut showed me a letter from Mr Milton to him, where he spoke very harshly of me. He knows not how much I sutler. 1 have commenced several letters to him, but never finish them. Robin is quite sick. Rose and Mr Agnew have come to spend some time with us. 'Tis pleasant to have one's friends with them in time of affliction. After Robin got well, I started to see my husband, and got to my uncle's in Lon don. Soon after, my aunt said, Niece your husband is here, but knows not you in London, anall 1 tell nimr" a re. a uentleman- look ofteuer in -ffki frlocc ihn n li 1 t A 1 1 yonder comes Mr Milton! and then for the hawthorn hedge, and tender words about rural and domestic life 'tis so pleasant to hear him converse. Why who would have thought it! he is thirty -five! Really he looks young, and thirty-five is not old. 1 went to see Rose, and Mr Milton had told her all, and he even kissed me before her. How provoking to be teased so! Rut (hen he calls me s.veet Midi. Mother is come did not get the money, and father told her Mr Milton had got my consent to marry him, which made her very mail; and she said I should not have him. But after a while she began to get over it, and talked mure reasonably. After dinner, in came Mr Milton and kissed mother's hand very affectionately; but she shrinkingly withdrew it, and re sumed her sewing So Mr Milton ami I had some private conversation about our wedding. Mother has given me a green satin gown and a great many other things; and keeps me constantly in the kitchen at tending to the pastry. At last comes the wedding day. and Rose is going to pack my things. I feel sad, but must not let the guests see it, for I am going to live in Loudon. Well, home at last, what a dull looking room every thing looks antiquated the only opening is to the church-yard. What would mother say of his bringing me to such a place. But this is Loudon. Mr Milton's father welcomed us home, and told me he did not blame John for marry ing me, I was so pretty! Mr Milton has been very kind, showing me the sights of this great place. But 1 am tired of London, and often think of home. We have company sometimes to dine and to tea, and then the time is not quite so dull. Mr Milton wants me to sing and plav on the lute, but I told him 1 did not lov'e it. Then he said "Sir Thomas Moore's wife learnt to play, solely to please her husband." Nay," said I, "doiit tell me of Thomas Moore's wife, when 1 am th wife of John Milton." Ralph Hewlett come to see me, and told father that I looked bad and pule; so Dick persuaded them to let him come for me. Mr Milton looked hurt, and said he did not want me to go, as I had been only a mouth I . opened the door between us and rush- ed to his feet without one word, for i could not speak. A quick hand was laid on my shoulder, ami as quickly removed. My husband walked up and down the room several times, then looking straight in my face, he said, Much could I say to reproach, but will not! Henceforth let us remember this part of i ur lives only to deepen bur penitence anil love." And then he was all goodness like the sun shining clear after a storm. We are now at home in a large house. My husband's eyes follow me with delight, and he says with a sweet smile, 'Wife, thou art strangely altered." And chancing to quote one of his lines, he said in quite a wonder, Why 'Moll, I thought you hated poetry. When learnt you to love it r" I replied, Since I learnt to love the poet." "Can this be my own sweet wife. I lost a child, but found a woman.'' Now we are getting on finely, ami my husband is going to give my father's family an invitation to spend. the winter with us, as the rebels have stript them of nearly every thing, and they are going to move away. I know mother will love John Milton at last. Mr Milton lost his first wife,, and married a second who also died, as the first died, in giving birth to his children. In his 5-1 th year blind and infirm he married a third wife, Muj Mia shul the second being named Wood. The third wife lived to a good aye long after Milton died. She wu.-i said to be something of " a tartar' to her 4tt'j-children A Metkor. A very large and lumin ous meteor passed in a westerly direction, over the city yesterday morning about 20 minutes after one o'clock. It was of sil very brightness, and as it passed through a thin stratum of cloud, it threw out a show er of crimson sparks. About .three, min utes after its passage, a report resembling thunder was heard from the quarter to which its course was directed. Charltlton - Mercury. '. Mile. Jenny Lind has recently given several most successful concerts in Hano ver, one of which was for the benefit of the poor of the city. The London Daily News states that King Ernest, who was present at one of the concerts, ' has sent to the Swedish nightingale the appropriate gift of a golden goblet filled with ants' eggs the food of a nightingale." 5 O The Springfield Republican states that MrOrrinP. Wilson, of that town, has laid an egg on Iheir table! A fact in phys iology that needs investigation. Worce tev Spy. Mrs Swift suggests the appointment of a committee to set on that egg.

She lingered in great agony until Friday after- noon, and then died. 'The True American says that she was 107 years old, and ori ginally came from Africa.
