In compliance with a resolution of the Gen eral Assembly, the Treasurer of North Carolina submitted the following report showing the condition of the State Treasury at this time : Treasury Dki'artmkxt, N. C, ) December loth, 1854. f Str : In response to a resolution transmitted to me yesterday evening from the House of I Commons, directing mc to commnuicate to the intr in the Public Treasury at this time, and :hat amount will be due from the Public treasury on the first day of January next, and the means in the Treasury to meet these de mamic ,. I have the honor to state, that it is desirable to provide for the payment in a few days, to the North Carolina Railroad Company, $40,000, which with the payment made a few days since to said Company of $44,000, will complete the payment of $00,000, the amount of the State's last subscription to said Com pany, for which State bonds arc to be sold to replenish the Treasury. The interest on the debt of the State, the particulars of w hich are shown in my last re port to the General Assembly, say $175,000, will have to be paid the 1st of January next. There will also be due the sum of about $5,000 to the Judges of the Supreme Court, the officers of State, fcc., on the 1st of January, making in all the sum of $220,000. To meet this, there is a proposed sale to morrow of $111,000 of State boughs. The amount due from the Raleigh and Gas ton Railroad Company for dividends declared on the stock of the State in said Company, and for bonds purchased by said Company on the 20th of October last, say $35,000. Interest due the State on the 1st January, on bonds of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail road Company, $1,500. Ibdance in the Treasury and in Ranks, say $5,000. Amounting to $150,000. In this 1 have made no estimates of advance ments to members of the G eneral Assembly. Th$ cost of the General Assembly is usually about' $45,000. With great respect, vour ob't serv't, "V. W. COURTS, Public Treasurer. Hon. S. P. Ilirx, Speaker of the House of Commons. Whig papers are pretending to express great surprise at the above. The Argus insinuates that the deficiency is owing to democratic rule. The Register endeavors to make the same im pression, and the Raleigh correspondent of the 1 Observer talks about the people having to "face the music to the tunc of high taxes." Neither of these papers, let it be remembered, charirc the deliciencv to the mismanagement of the democratic party, (they dare not do it, for they know better,) but they allude to the mat ter in such a way as to leave the impression on the minds of readers that because the demo cratic party lias been and is now in the ascend ency in the State, our financial affairs arc in a bad condition. Now, they know, and every body else at all acquainted with the subject knows) that the present deficiency is attribu table to the amount of stock taken by the State in works of Internal Improvement. Is not this the cause? Certainly it is. Well, why muhc unjust insii::iat ions in regard to the mut ter? Will not the progress of internal improve ment be checked by such allusions? We think it will. We will simply remind whig papers that they cannot blame democratic members of the Legislature if they were to oppose the State's going further into works of internal improve ments, after their recent grumbling about State finances. If they are sincere friends of improve ment, why indulge in any uncalled for remarks about deficiencies? Gov. Reid is not to blame the Public Treasurer is not to blame. Who, then, is to be blamed for the low state of the Treasury at this time? We do not know, unless it is the Legislature that authorized the State's subscriptions to schemes of internal improvement. The whole matter is now taking the turn that we expected it would. If democratic Legislatures suh.cribe to internal improvement schemes, whig papers will set up a hue and cry about the low state of the Treasury and " high taxes;" and if they do not vote State aid to such works, why there will be no end to the abuse heaped upon their heads. We are in favor of the State's subscribing liberally to internal improvement works, but we know that the recent remarks of some whig papers are calculated to do harm to the cause. or(h Carolina Banking:. In order that the Legislature in committee of the whole, may decide w hich and how many Banks shall be established, the Committee of that body having the subject under considera tion, have, we understand, determined to report all the banking bills which have been referred to them.

Without expressing an opin ion favorable or unfavorable to rechartering the old Banks, we will, for the present, merely remark that we consider the application as being made too early two or four years hence would have been time enough. If the Legislature at its present session should refuse to extend the charters we imagine the institu tions would be of little accommodation or bene fit to the public in future. Expecting no favors they would probably give none. Besides the bills to recharter the old Banks, there are applications to establish the following: The People's Bank, with a capital of $5,000, 000, to be located at Wilmington, with bran ches mainly along the line of the Central Rail road; the Bank of Goldsboro; the Bank of Wil mington; the Bank of Plymouth; the Bank of Greensboro; the Bank of Clarendon, at Fay etteville; the Central Bank of North Carolina; the Bank of Pamlico; the Bank of Halifax; and the Bank of Pittsboro. Tbc Re-opening: of (be Slave Trade. The StatQ of South Carolina has always been noted for her public spirit, energy and intelli gence, and for the leading position which she has sustained among her sister States of the South. Whilst the patriotism and ability of her public men have been acknowledged and appreciated, and the chivalry and boldness of her councils have been admired by her slave holding compeers, nevertheless they hare not generally followed her lead in the exciting and trying crises to which southern institutions have from time to time been exposed. They have generally adopted counsels believed to be more prudent than those which she proposed. With how much sagacity they have acted in this re spect we will not here attempt to settle. We have observed a growing disposition among the journals of South Carolina to look favorably on the project of re-opening the slave trade of renewing the traffic in slaves brought from the coast of Africa into the southern por tion of this Union. It was with no small aston ishment that we received the first inkling of the agitation of a project so novel and so startling so utterly opposed to the pervading sentiment of the civilized world Wo have been able to view the whole scheme as nothing more than a piece of political Quixotism. Unless wc assume the dissolution of the Union as a foregone con clusion (a thing we cannot yet consent to do) where is the possibility of carrying it out?

The Judiciary committee reported unfavorable on the bill exempting fe males from appearing in court as witnesses. The committee on private bills reported unfavor ably on the bills to emancipate Dolly, Caroline and Peter. The following engrossed bill and , resolution were read the first time: A bill to amend thccharter of the Fayetteville & North ern Plaint Road Bompany; a resolution con cerning the Cape Fear Navigation company; a resolution in favor of D. A. Ray & Co.; a bill compensating Justices of the Peace for taking lists of taxable property; a bill to compensate Wardens of the Poor in Sampson. In the Senate, on 22d, a message was receiv ed from the House stating that it had passed the resolution authorizing the Treasurer to pay to the X. C. Railroad the balance of the State's subscription, with an amendment, which the Senate uiianiraousty concurred in. The Senate then adjourned until Tuesday. In the House, the bill incorporating the Wil mington and Charlotte Railroad Company was, on motion of Mr Steele, made the special order for January 5th. After the passage of several bills on their 2d reading, the House adjourned until Tuesday. Calculation ix regard to cocntixo gold coins. A writer in the Boston Journal makes the following curious calculations : "The enormous sum of 201,000,000 in gold has been received at the mint at Philadelphia from California from the first discovery of the precious metal to December 1, 1853. Now, in order to give some idea to the general reader of the immense amount of $204,000,000, I will merely state that, allowing each silver dollar to weigh one ouuee avoidrupois, sixteen to the pound, the weight would be 12,750,000 pounds, or 6,375 tous, allowing 2,000 pounds to the ton. To carry this weight it would require 6,375 wagons, containing a ton each, or $32,000. Now, suppose each vehicle, drawn by one horse, to occupy a space of twenty-live feet, they would extend in a continuous line a fraction short of thirty miles. In order to count such a vast sum of money as this, very few persons have any ida of the time it wonld require without t-r" The Philadelphia North Ai erican says that in consequence of the tightnc s of the mo ney market, real estate has con iderably de clined in that ciiv.

Also the bill for the payment of invalid pensions was passed, after it had been so amended as to ;!acn the widows of officers and men who served in the navy of the Revolu tion, and were married since the 1st of January, 1800, on the same footing with the widows of officers and soldiers of the army of the Revolu tion under the act of 3d February, 1S53, and making all their pensions commence from the 4th of March, 134S. Mr Brodhcad, from the select committee, to whom was referred the bill for the appointment of a Board of Claims, fcc., reported a substitute for said bill, which provides for the establishment of a Court for the adjudication of claims. A bill to establish a Department of Lawr in connection with the Government, A:c., was partially considered and deferred to Tuesday. In the Senate, on the 26th, a memorial was I presented from the Board of Trade of Philadel phia, asking the adoption of measures for the relief of Dr. Kane, the missing arctic navigator.

Cincinnati. which barely tolerates slavery in the southern States, and which has long since enacted strin gent laws against the slave trade, will consent to repeal those laws ? Will the people of the North (who hold the balance of power) consent to such repeal ? Never. The opposition to it would be, in comparison with the feeling now entertained at the North against slavery, as the whirlwind to the zeplr. Not only would this be the case, but a large number of the southern people would be found in opposition to the scheme. Their conscientious scruples wonld never permit them to favor it. AVe firmly believe that the slave population of the south is in a far better condition than were their forefathers in Africa. AVe doubt not that the character and conditiou of the raee have been meliorated by their forced im migration into the cotton, rice and sugar fields of the south. But the horrors of the slave trade, as it has been practised, has justly subjected it to the detestation and approbrium of the civil ized world. It would be, in our judgment, high ly imprudent for the south, under the existing state of public sentiment, to attempt the ie establishmcnt of this traffic. AATe say nothing at present concerning objections which have a deeper foundation wc put it solely upon the ground of impolicy. The Argus of the 23d instant is quite witty about the Know Nothings.

Mr Editor: For the benefit of the public I will inform you that a man named Peter Gotier made an attempt to steal a horse from the stable of Mr Robert Stone, near Robeson Insti tute, ou the night of the 20th. Stone discover ed some person going from the direction of his st iblc, and as soon as he got his gun he pursued the thief and fired, when the horse threw his rider. Gotier's overcoat was found containing his pocket book with some papers in it bearing his name. lie staid at Stone's the previous night, and left with the intention, as he stated, of going to Johnston county. It is supposed that he burned a barn on Cape Fear on the night of the 16th. I suppose he is the same man who was whipped at the last Cumberland stealing Mr Freeman's horse and them to look alter their own. figures Itow long it would take to count the sum above mentioned, they have so widely dif fered in time that one could scarcely repress a smile at the result. Now, to ascertain the fact, which may be made as plain as A B C, we will suppose a person to count sixty of the silver dollars in a minute, 3,000 an hour, 43,200 a day of twelve hours each, or (Sundays included) 15,708,000 a year. I say to count this stupen dous amount of money in silver dollars, it would require a fraction short of thirteen years." Clt his F.xgers Off to avoid. AVokk. A convict in the Ohio Penitentiary, by the name of Newsom, who had been convicted of bur glary in Cincinnati about nine months ago, and who had been engaged in tke plating shop since his imprisonment, was punished last week for refusing to work. He is a big, stout fellow, of strong passions, and has always looked upon work as degrading. After the punishment, which was not a very severe one, he swore that sooner than work he would disable himself, and if that would not do, he wonld cut his own throat. The officers insisted upou maintaining the discipline, but Newsom refused to comply. Finding there was no alternative, the desper ate prisoner picked up a hand axe close by, and laying his left hand on a block, chopped off three of his fingers. He is now in the hospital, suffering the pain and penalty of his foolish temerity. Oxe of the Straits of Poverty. A few eveuings since, a man named AVm. C. Rounds, was brought into the second Police Station at Boston, on charge of stealing two turkeys from a wagon near Quincy Market. The Chronicle says the man was very ragged, his thin and scanty clothing by no means protecting him from the severe cold. He frankly stated to the officer that he was guilty of stealing, and added that he. came from the House of Cor rection, where he had served out a term of im- prittoment, a few days ago, and resolved to live an- honest life, but he tried in vain to get employment no one needed his services; he was scantily clad, and suffered for want of food which he could not obtain; he was driven to starve or steal, and lie took the turkeys from the wagon boldly, believing that he would be detected, arrested; and that the facts were so plain, aud the evidence of his guilt so strong, that the Court would sentence him to a term of imprisonment in the House of Correction, and then at least, he would not starve or perish with cold He was committed to jail, and no deubt his wishes will be granted. May this case be a solitary one. From tbe above it appears that northern philanthro pists would have enough to do if they would take care of the poor whites in their midst instead of troub ling themselves ahout Southern negroes. By the improved machines for making steel pens, six hundred pens arc made in one minute. The manufacturing process consists in cutting flat pieces of metal, previously prepared by a stamping press, placing them under the action of another press by which the holes are punch ed, and the slit cut, after which they are turned into the convex or rising circular form in which they are used, by still another press. The pol ish is next put on, or, rather, got out, by an intricate apparatus consisting of a flywheel and box, in which they arc placed and where they are subjected to a shaking similar to that pro duced by shaking materials in a bag. This opera tion is continued eight hours, when they are found free from any irregularities on their edges. After this process they are tempered and fit it up, and who also owned the whole square including Mr Grant s store and other buddings. The above conflagration occurred on Tuesday night, the 19th instant. Salisbury Banner. Salaries of Foreigx Ministers.

Uife of Greeley. It is stated in the Life of Horace Greeley, that Leggett once discharg ed him from a compositor's situation on the Evening Post ou account of his slovenly ap pearance. Greeley's first employment in New York was obtained from AV. T. Porter, of the Spirit, who was then foreman of AVest's print ing office. In 1833 Greeley started the Morn ing Post, the first penny paper in the world; it lived sixteen days, and begat the New York Sun. Dr. Braunon, of Sheffield, England, has been making some valuable experiments in soap as a means of art. He says that a draw ing may be executed with a hard point on a smooth piece of soap, almost as readily as an ordinary drawing with a lead pencil. Every touch is clear, sharp, and well defined. When the drawing is finished, a cast may be taken from the surface in plaster, or, better still, by press ing the soap firmly into heated gutta percha; in the latter, several impressions may be taken without injuring the soap, so as to admit of proofs being taken and corrections made. It will even bear being pressed into melted sealing-wax without injury. Nothing connected with the festivities of Christmas has struck us more forcibly than the appearance in our city, a few days since, of some five hundred fine looking athletic negro men, who had been engaged during the season in the making of Turpentine in this and the neigh boring States, and who, with their masters, were on their return to their .homes in North Carolina, to pass the holiday with their fami lies, lliey took passage iu the steamer Cal houn, for Wilmington.
