J C. , Bow Sfticb this Country Owes It is a favorite boast of Americans that their government is almost the only one in the civil ized world which is not deeply planged in debt. So far as it relates to the United States, in its federal capacity, it is well founded. Bat so fur as it relates to the one and thirty Common wealths of which the nation is composed, it is an absolute absurdity, since the majority of these latter are deeply, if not inextricably, in debt. We hear this bit of braggadocia so fre quently, that it is worth while to devote a few moments to showing its folly. In England, France, Austria and all other cOtisslidaCed nations, there is but one exchequer to meet' every want of government. There is, consequently, bnt one national debt. When we say that Great Britain owes nearly eight hun dred millions of pounds, or four thousand mil lions of dollars, the whole story is told. But if we should assert that the entire debt of the United States was less than sixty millions, we should be apt to mislead the reader. For the federal government, which is what is techni cally meant by the term United States, having only circumscribed powers, is not, and never can be, made liable for the principal share of the expenses of maintaining order and dispen sing law among the people at large, most of this burden falling on the separate members of the confederacy. To give a correct idea of the real indebtedness of the nation, therefore, v. e must include the debts of the several States. Now, the total indebtedness of the various commonwealths is about two hundred and twenty-one millions of dollars, divided among twenty-seven States, four being so fortunate as to owe nothing, viz: New Hampshire, Ver mont, Delaware and Florida. Of these twenty seven, the debts of seven are under a million a-piece : Maryland, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Vir ginia, New York and Pennsylvania are the States most deeply in debt. The largest ab solute debt is that of Pennsylvania, which is over forty millions; the lowest is that of New Jersey, which is but seventy-one thousand. The heaviest debt, in proportiou to the popu lation, is that of Murylad, whieh exceeds fifteen millions, in a population of five hundred and eighty-two thousand, bond and free The debt of A'irginia, though but little greater numeri cally than that of New York the one being twenty-six millions and the other twenty-four is more than twice as heavy relatively, the population being less than half, while the gen eral resources of the State are greatly inferior. The entire debt of the nation, estimating the federal debt as well as that of the State, ex ceeds two huudrcd and seventy-five millions of dollars. But this still fails to give an accurate idea of the total indebtedness of our eouiitryr In Europe, if we except England, most public works are constructed by the government, so that the national debt includes the cost of the principal railroads, canals aud turnpikes. But in the United States, with the exception of the Pennsylvania State works and those of a few other Commonwealths, all such improvements are owned by private corporations. Now the aggregate cost of the principal of these works is computed to be one thousand millions of dol lars, of which six hundred millions alone are invested in railroads. Consequently, if we would arrive at the true indebtedness of these United States, we must add the amount of this de scription of securities to the amount of the State and federal ones. Twelve hundred mil lions of dollars are, therefore, about what we owe a very respectable Sum, it must be ac knowledged, especially for a nation but eighty years old. To give an entirely just idea of the subject, however, we must remind the reader that a chief part of this debt is attributable to the fact that we are a new country, three-fourths of those millious have been spent in developing our resources. Considering the vast mineral and agricultural wealth of America; considering, also, the in domitable energy of our people; considering the favorable position we occupy for conduct ing the commerce of the world, this debt, enor mous as it seems, is comparatively little, or would be if we were always as prudent and thrifty as we are enterprising.

James Robertson Arnold died in London, on December 21 tit. He was second son of Benedict Arnold by Margaret his wife, daughter of Chief Justice Shippen, of Pennsyl vania. He entered the corps of Royal En gineers in 1197, and served more than half & century. He married Virginia, daughter of Bartlett Goodrich, Esq., of the Isle of Wight, and for his military services, was created a Knight of Hanover, was appointed aid dc-camp to William IV., and was presented with a cost ly sword. The above named officer was the oldest of four children, which Arnold's second wife. Miss Shippen of Philadelphia, bore him, viz : Jas. Robertson, Edward, George and Sophia. His first wife bore three sons, viz : Benedict, Rich ard and Henry. Benedict, the oldest, was an officer of artillery in the British army, and, , it is believed, was compelled to quit the service; he died young in the West Indies. Henry en tered the King's service after his father's de fection, and was a lieutenant of cavalry in the Amer'uan Legion. He accompanied his father to St. John, aud was employed in his business. He slept iu the warehouse near the Lower Cove in that city, aud lodged there the night the building was burned. He lived afterwards at Troy, New York, with his aunt Hannah, and was engaged in mercantile pursnits. At a sub sequent period he removed to Canada, where he is now a man of property. He received half pay and a grant of lands from the British gov ernment. Richard: In 1782 he was also a lieutenant of cavalry in the American Legion, commanded by his father. In most every par ticular his history is identical with that of his brother Henry. Persons are still living at St. John, who resided there when Gen. Arnold's store was burned. The impression was at the moment, and still is, that the fire was caused by design, and for the purpose of defrauding a company in Englaud, that had underwritten upon the merchandise which it contained, to an amount far exceeding its worth. These persons differ as to the fact, whether Arnold himself was in St. John, or absent in England, at the 1 time of the fire; and hence the degree of blame which may be attached to the two sons may be uncertain. That both Henry and Richard slept iu the store on the night of the conflagration, and that neither could give a satisfactory ac count of its cause, seems, however, to be certain. Jumps Robertson, whose recent death is mentioned above, was the only one of the four children which the traitor's second wife bore him, thaT was born in America. At the time of the treason he was a child, and had just reached West Point from Philadelphia, with his mother. He entered the British army in 1798, and rose to the rank of Colonel of Eugincers. He was stationed at Bermuda from 181C to ISIS, and from the last named year until 1823 was at Halifax, and the commanding officer of engineers iu Nova Scotia and Brunswick". While thus in command he was at St. Johns, and on going into the house built by his father, in King street (which is still standing,) he wept like a child. He was a small man, his eyes were of remarkable sharpness, and in features bore a striking resemblance to his father. A gentleman who has been in service with him, and was intimately acquainted with him, speaks of him in terms of hijrti commendation, and re lates that he has often heard him express a I strong desire to visit the United states.- Since the acccssiou of Queen Victoria he has been one of Her Majesty's aids-dc-camp. Iu 1841 he was transferred from the engineer corps, and appointed Major General, and a Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order. Edward, the next son, was some years ago in a banking house in England. George, in 1816, was an olficer of dragoons. Sophia, of her fate nothing is known. It maybe added, that the first General Arnold's mother had six children, of whom he and his sister Hannah alone lived to the years of maturity. This sister adhered to her brother Benedict throughout his eventful and guilty career, and was true to him iu the darkest periods of his history. She died at Montague, in Upper Canada, iu 1803, and was, as is uniformly stated, a lady of excellent qualities of character.- Have we a- Swedish tkincess among us? The Fireside Jourual(Mass,) has made a grand discovery nothing less than a second Bourbon t.asc in which the lately deceased keeper of Long Island Light plays the principal part, and is asserted to have Ireen the son of Gustavus III, King of Sweden. We give the substan tial facts of the statement of the Fireside :' "The story, as we get it and we have no' doubt of its substantial truth is this: The late Capt. Joseph Beck, so long known by our mari time folks as keeper of the Long Island light in our harbor, on his death-hed, last summer, disclosed to his family that he was a son of Gustavus III, King of Sweden, and a younger brother of that remarkable knight-errant of a king, the late Gustavus III. An unknown per son, who had been seen at various times to re gard him with great interest, and who was present at the time of his death, left in the next European steamef for Sweden. Within a short time, the only daughter of Capt. Beck, a very intelligent and accomplished lady, now the wife of Abel T. llaydcn, one of the pilots in our harbor, has been sent for from a high qnarter in that country, ami supplied with funds lor the voyage, to be restored to the possession of prop erty "and titles belonging to1 her father, which were confiscated at the time when his brother, Gustavus IV, was dethroned.- Mr Hayden and his wife, it is said, will take their departure for Sweden in a few days." Hard Headed. A Southerner gave a dinner party to a few friends, who happening to con verse about Sambo's power of head endurance, the gentlemas said he owned a negro whom no one in the party could knock down or injure by striking on tlve head, A strong burly fellow, laughed at the idea,- aDd as Sam the colored fellow was alKmt entering with the caudles, the gentleman stood behind the door, and as he en tered, Sanx's bead received a powerful sdckdol oger the candles Oicfcered a little but Sam passed qnietly on merely exclaiming : " Gen tletneu be careful of de elbows-,, cr de lights will be distinguished.' 8' Extravagant people are never generous. The man who pays fifteeiv dollars for a vest, would think he's being "robbed" should you ever call upon him to give six shillings towards burying old Bristle the shoemaker.- A Snorcr . and a Snorter t An anecdote was well told, some years ago of a polite Southerner, an accomplished aud tiud-hearted gentleman, which has found a? place, and we think descfVedl, in our collection? "On one occasion, he had been driving hard; from morning until night,- over the rough roads, in the neighborhood of Columbia, South Caro liea, and alighted at the only comfortable look-1 ing tavern in the place, very hungry and very tired. Sticking his eye-glass to his eye his constant companion, he being very near-sighted he demanded a roast fowl, stjme good wine and a comfortable room for the night. The landlord was exceedingly 'sorry,' but hef 'could'nt give him a comfortable room; the only place he could have to sleep iff ras a double) bedded-rootn, with another gentleman." "Very wellt Sir let us have the bestyon'ver got: No man can 66 m Ore than that, Sir." "After discussing his suppef, he songht hi room, 'turned in,' and went to sleep . "His slumbers were destined to be of very short duration. Before long he was awakened by a call from the other bed, 'Sir! Sir!!!" "Bless my sotiI!" cried D , thrusting hi glass up to his eye, and endeavoring to peer through the dark, 'what's the mutter, my deaf sir? Is the honse on fire, or are there bugs in your bed?' "Neither,- sir? but, my dear sir, you snore sor terribly, that I cannot sleep, sir. It is terrific, sir!" "Bless me, my dear sir, I am shocked that I should hate been so rude as to snore in a gentleman's presence,- aftd he a stranger to me I really ask your pardon,- sir, and beg yon'II overlook it. It was'nt intentional, I assure yon. The apology was accepted; a 'good night' was exchanged; and both parties went to sleep again. It was net long, however, before a rumbling sound was heard from the polite gentleman's bed, every moment growing louder and louder, nntil at last it ended in a thunderous diapason. The other" ledger, driven almost to madness, started np, and exclaimed "Good gracious! this is too much! I can't stand it! I say, Sir! Sir!! Sir!!! wake up Sir!" " Ijfcsrf rrty soul ! weft, what's the matter, now? cried ont the offender, starting up in bed; 'you seem to be restless,- Sir "Restless! I believe you? said the disturbed gentleman, 'you've been snoring again, Sir, worse than ever,- and I cannot get to sleep. "You don't say so! Have I been repeating my Itideness to a stranger? I am really ex tremely sorry, my dear sir, but I was really asleep. Good night night night; very sor-sor-sor-ry."

Is affable with his equals, and pleasant and attentive to his inferiors. In conversation he avoids hasty, ill-tempered f or insulting remarks. He never pries into other people's affairs.- Detests eves-dropping as among the most disgraceful of crimes. Never slanders any of his: acquaintance who has met with a reverse of fortune. He always pays the postage on his letters, and pays in advance, in good money, for his papers. The people of Woodford county, Ky., have hit upon a novel mode of protecting a bank they have out there. It appears that Mr Barclay, a private banker at Lexington, has for some time been sending if large numbers of notes for redemption, which finally Came neaT causing a collapse, whereupon the citizens assembled and burnt Mr II. in effigy. This harmless, though foolish' exhibition of petty wrath neither injured the private banker, nor elevated the characters5 of those who participated in it, so they resolved that if Mr B. or his clerk ever again molested "their bank" they might certainly look out for summary vengeance from Judge Lynch. Na danger, therefore, need be apprehended of a collapse of the raid bank, so long as Judge' Lynch s-tauds feet weeu it and its note holders. "Now, gentlemen," said a nobleman to his guests, as the Indies left the room, ."let us un derstand each Mhef : are we to drink like men, or like brutes?"

She Waff subsequently iftfro dueed at this fortune-felle's house to a young gentleman, who was represented as being in seareh f a wife. Ths pl-easing manners of the young man soon won her affections so much so, that she agreed to a proposition formally made by firm,- which was,- that as soon as winter' set in he would take her to a ball, and there receive a format introduction to him by some' respectable person.
