t STATE FINANCES.
The Committee on Finance has reported that
the current expenses of the State of North Ca
rolina, for lS5I,will be $173,223 12; that is,
$95,223 12 for interest and principal of debt for
internal improvements, and about $75,000 for
expenses of the State government.
The income of the State, from all sources, is
estimated at $148972 00 ; hence there will be a
deficiency of $24,251 12.
To supply this deficiency for the present, the
committee recommends appropriations' from the
school fund. And as a prospective provision,
the committee has reported a new revenue bill,
embracing the old, with amendments, additions,
alterations, &c.
JC5- By a statement in the Wilmington Chron
icle, the arrivals of vessels at that port, during
the year 1S50, appears to have been 780, of which
93 were from foreign ports, and GS7 from coast

crease upon former years.

OPERATION FOR DROPSY.
From the Ashborough N. C. Herald.
. We have been furnished with the facts
of a remarkable .case of dropsy: that of
Lucy Beard, near Union Factory, Randolph
county, became the subject of this disease
about four years ago ; she had been under
treatment most ot the time without receiv
ing any relief, or any reduction of the
enormous swellin?;. On the 24th ult.
the operation of tapping was done by
Dr L. Wood, assisted by Dfs. Woollen
and Winslow, and 41 quarts of fluid
of a light brown color extracted from
the ,cavity of the abdomen. On the 1st
instant her symptoms were favorable, and
she could walk without support.
FATAL RENCOUNTER.
We learn from a private despatch, that
a difficulty occurred in Macon, Sunday
evening, between Willis H. Hughes and
Thomas Knight, Jr., which tesulted in the
death of the former. This dispatch says
that Knight made some insinuations about
the defeat of Hughes, tvho was a candidate
a t the municipal election on Saturday,
which produced harsh words between them;
and Hughes struck Knight and seized him
by the throat, when K. shot him. Hughes
died in a few minutes. Mr -Hughes is the
person who went to Boston in quest of the
fugitive slave, and Knight is the brother of
the one who accompanied him. Savannah

Fugitive-Slave Casein New York -
After a very elaborate and troublesome
hearing during which all the obstacles
were thrown in the way that legal ingen
uity couid suggest, or money and influence
sustain the district court in the city of
New York has ordered the fugitive Long
to be delivered up to his owner. This has
been professedly a test case ; and, in the
face of all the efforts of all the leading
abolitionists of the country, it has resulted
as it ought to have done under the con
stitution and laws.
Long left New York for Richmond in
custody of Deputy U. S. Marshals Tal
madge. Brown, and De Angelis. He was
guarded to Jersey- City by a large police
force. The United States officers, with
their prisoner, were met last night, on the
arrival of the cars at the Kensington depot,
by Ueputy U. b. Marshals btnith and
Aalzel, of this city, supported by thirty
officers under Police Marshal Kevser.
The negro was conveyed from Kensing
ton, in custody ot the United States offi
cers, and a detail of Marshal Kevser's
officers, in one of Glenat's omnibuses, to
the Baltimore depot, corner of Eleventh
ativl Market, streets, where he was placed
in the cars, and started for the South in
charge of officers Talmadge, Brown, and
De Angelis, of New York.
The marshal of police also had a party
of his officers stationed at the Baltimore
depot for the purpose of preventing any
breach of the peace. No disturbance
whatever, though, occurred. The slave
was taken through Philadelphia without
the slightest excitement. Union.

N. C. LEGISLATURE.
January 9, 1851.
In the Senate, Wrm P. Watt, the Sena
tor elect from Rockingham, appeared, pro
duced his credentials, was qualified, and
took his seat. . ;
Mr Cameron introduced a bill to facili
tate the-construction of ;the Fayetteville
and Centre Plank Road, which was, read
the first time and passed; and on his motion,
referred to Committee on Internal Im
provements.; Mr Pender introduced a bill to incor
porate the Roanoke and Cheraw Steam,
Boat Company which was read the first
time and passed.
Mr Drake from the committee appoint
ed to superintend the election of two Trus
tees of the University, reported that D. S.
Reid had received 89 votes, W. W. Averv
71, J II Haughton 63, W L Steele 45, ami
J G Bynum 40 votes; that D S Reid having
received a majority of the votes given, was
duly elected.
On motion of Mr Speight. Ordered tiat
a message be sent to the House of Com
mons, proposing to vote again lor one
Trustee of the University, yet remaining
to be elected.
The evening session was consumed in
debating amendments to the Slavery Res
olutions, without coming to any final deter
mination. In the Commons, a message was re
ceived from the Senate, announcing the
disagreement of that body to the proposi
tion to adjourn sine die on the 27th inst;
also one proposing that the two Houses go
forthwith into an election for one Trustee
of the University; which last was laid on
the table.
On motion of Mr Love, the House went
into committee of the whole, Mr Jones in
the chair, and took up for consideration
the slavery resolutions.
Mr Erwin, of Buncombe, addressed the
committee. He favored the doctrine of
secessions expected to vote for some of the
resolutions offered by the majority of the
committee and for some of those offered
by the minority, but he did not believe
that any of those would accomplish any
good. Mr K 's main object seemed to be
to sustain the proposition to impose tax on
the productions of non-slaveholding States
sold in this State, which he regarded as a
constitutional and practical means of
meeting the aggressions of the North.
When he had concluded. Mr Wm Hill
moved that the committee rise, report -progress,
and ask leave to sit again, which
was agreed to.
On motion of Mr R M Saunders the
House went into Committee of the whole.
Mr Jones in the Chair, and resumed the
consideration of the slavery resolutions.
Mr Wm Hill, of New Hanover, addres
sed the Committee.
Mr S J Person, of Moore, desired to ad
dress the committee on this subject, but
he wanted the attention of the committee,
and he preferred presenting his views when
they were not fatigued.
He felt that it was due to himself, to his
associates in the report from the minority
of the committee, and to his constituents
that he should speak and he would speak
fearlessly and freely.
The debate was continued further by Mr
R. M. Saunders and by Mr Rayner in re
ply, after which, on motion of Mr Cherry,
the Committee rose, reported progress and
asked leave to sit again.
On motion of Mr Pigott, the House ad
journed. January 10.
In the Senate, Mr Drake from the Com
mittee appointed to superintend the elec
tion of Trustees of the University, report
ed there was no election, and consequently
the former report naming certain indivi
duals as elected, was an error. i
Mr Cameron reported a bill establishing j
a Bank in the town of Wadesboro, and i
recommended its passage.
The balance of the day occupied in dis-j
cussing the resolutions concerning domes- I
tic relatioas. When the resolutions shall
have been acted on by both houses, we !
shall publish them.
In the Commons, as in the Senate, the
subject occupying the day, was the vari
ous resolutions in regard to domestic rela
tions. No one resolution appeared to suit
any one man who spoke upon the subject.
What sort of a ''cock and bull story ' they
will make of it, we know not.
January 11.
In the Senate, Mr Clarke, from Joint

Singular CincuMSTACE. On Monday

residing at the Sbuth End,- who has been

Horseback Riding in MXnEiRA.--The
Hon. John A I) fx, in his recent work, -A
Winter in Madeira," gives an amusing
account of horseback ruling at Funchal.
For thirty cents an hoar a fine horse can
be hired at an'y livery' stable, together
with . a man as attendant, who follows on
foot; and when jo"u desire to ride fast, he
catches hold of your horse's tail and U
drawn along, in this way "he prevents
you from running away fr6m him. Mr
Dix says that the horses soon become
accustomed to these human appendages-,
and that the fellows have a' way of making
the hr.rses go fast or slow, as they desirev
in spite of the rider. Mr Dix says that for
ladies this association of horse and driver
is a great convenience. They need no
other attendant. He is always ready to
render any assistance; if the horse loses a
shoe, he has a hammer and , nails in his
pocket to replace it. It is not easy to
fancy a more ludicrous spectacle than a
lady riding through the city at full gallop
w ith a man hanging to the tail of her horse;
but such scenes are of hourly occurrence,
in Funchal, and the eye soon becomes
accustomed to them.
A Goon Pakallrl.1 The Southern
Press says that Milton's devils were of the
North not South. Satan's first 'order
was: "' ' .
"Assemble thou
Of all those myriads, which we lead the chief!
Tell them that by command, ere yet dim night
Her shadowy cloud withdraws, I am to baste,
And all who under me their banners wave,
Homeward with llyingr march where we possess
The quarters of the Worth." - t : -
i, ' ' i .
"At length into the limits of the Worth
They came and Satan to his royal seat."
And not only. continues the Press, -was
the rebellion a Northern one, but the pre
tences were similar to those of the North
now. It was a 'liberty" movement then
a pretence of liberty against slavery.
Thu3 Satan in. reply to Abdiel.says: ' v
"At first I thought that liberty and heaven
To heavenly souls had been all one; but now
I see that most through sloth had rather serve.
Ministering spirits, trained up in feast and song;
Such hast thou aimed the ministers of heaven
Servility with freedom to contend,"".
The New-York Herald states that by the
last arrival from California, the editor, of
that paper has received private despatches
of a most important character, which indu- .
ces the belief that it is, and has been
meditated, for a long time pant, by some
of the most influential and leading men
of that new State, to organize an expedi
tion of Americans, and to proceed to that
portion of Mexico known as Lower Cali
fornia, with the view of assisting the
people of that territory, in declaring their
independence of the central government,:,
and afterwards seeking incorporation with
this republic, in precisely the same manner
as the American adventures in Texas ac
ted. The Herald adds that this intelli-
ence is derived from such sources as place
its reliance almost beyond doubt. :' '
Rhigas' Exhibition. The feats and
experiments which the great' Rhigas is'.
performing are truly extraordinary, and
should be witnessed by all, who can appre
ciate such things. He certainlv uushes a
sword blade, twenty-tour inches in length
down his throat, and there lets it remain
for a lew moments! There is no decep
tion about it. He equipoises vertically a
bayoneted musket, the sharp point of the
bayonet resting upon his lorebead. He
then transfers the musket to his teeth, and.
makes it whirl like a top! lie performs
a number of other remarkable feats. ,;. ''"';
