The excitement is as bnd as you ever saw in Wall street. Indeed ivc have had u regular exchange here every day at the corner of gtreeta selling ana ouytng ot iickci iorn.ii sorts of conveyances. The us?ual price ol tickets in the steamer ranging from one hun dred and fifty to one hundred and seventy rivf! dollars lor steerage passengers ; the ca bin in proportion. The captain has not yet arrived on shore. One word for those who have occasion to patw this way hereafter. Let them bring with them such money as limy expect to ex pend in crossing tlie,sflnnU3. in French sil ver, dimes and half dimes will do. Spanish, that U. Mexican dollars, will amount lo tlie same thing nearly ; let me explain ; a dime or half frank is equal to a Spanish shilling. Consequently the Mexican dollar passes for ten rials. So with the five franc piece. Whereas the American gold or silver i sub ject to a dUcount of 23 or 33 per cent. For .instance, an American half dollar will be ex changed for four pieces, equal lo ten cents each ; but the Mexican dollar, or five franc piece, passes for ten pieces of the same value. Dimes, Mexican shillings and half franks M'ffP of the same value here nnd at Chncres. At lilt,' hotels the price ofboard runs thus ; for one day, four dollars ; for two da, s. three dollars per da' ; for more than three days, two dollars per d,.y. I would not like to give you the bill of line lor certain reasons perhaps you might laugl' rathi r worse than Mexico will.

Tli ore is a good spirit generally prevailing in rela tion to the Central Rail Road. There is to bo a meeting in Raleigh, to day, on the subject. The presses of tho c'Hy are doing their duty. The Star of Wednesday last, says : "There appears to be great anxiety In the public mind to know what Raleigh will do towards aiding this great Stale enterprise. We say to those who are solicitous on this subject, and from the "central" position we occupy, (not ''central influence" which we wie'd ) it is natural that all should be so just wait untd next Saturday, when our public meeting will be held, and see if Raleish will not speak as be comes enlightened, liberal and patriotic citizens, who know their duty, and have tho spirit and the will to do it. A part from duly to the State, Raleigh and Wake county have a deep and absorbing inter C9ts in the accomplishment of this work all, the poor as well as the rich, havo a deep interest in it, and all should support it, and contribute according lo their ability and means towards its speedy and certain consuniatron. It is not ooly, in the language of the Guilford meeting, "the harbinger of prosperity to the old North Slate," but of rich and incalculable advantages to tho people of this city and county Surely they cannot-, by their apathy or backward ness, disappoint a just public expectation, and prove themselves unwonhey of the proffered benefits." Wo are sorry to find our Ncwbern fiends some what dull on the subject. The Republican of Wed nesday saya ; "In this plice, wc regret to say 'hat a perfect indif ference seems to exist with regard to the matter.

The Virginia and Tennessee Rail Road Bill, or Southwestern Rail Road Bill, was defeated in the Virginia House of Delegates, on Monday last, by a vote of 60 to 65. Tho Covington and Ohio Rail Road Bill, was also defeated by a vote of 47 to 72. The Illue Ridge Rail Road Bill was made the or der of the day for Tuesday, and it is supposed, wiH share tho same fate. The death blow to Internal im provements, for the pressent session, has thus been given in Virginia. Railboad Accidest.

The Joint Committee appointed by th two Hou ses f Congress of the United States, to communi cate o General Tavloe official information of his election lo the Presidency, waited on him for that purpose on iijonday last. Hon. Jeffcrso Davis, of the Senate, ChiMHiun of the Joint Committee, addressed the general. The following are the con eluding paragraphs of the address: "A majority of the Serute of the United States are of the political party winch mom strove to defeat your election, I accord in political creed witli that majority. To select me, under these circumstances, to announce to you your election lo the highest of lie in the Unitid Slates, will 1 trum be received as a token of their acquiescence, not reluctant admiss ion, but respectful acquiescence in the decisions of the people, i feel, sir. that I can ofler you assurance that from them your administration will not encoun ter factious opposition; that, as ir as difference of opinion will permit, they will give that sincere sup port whioh our common interest and aonatilutional ubliuaiion raighl lead you to ex pwt." . "The character of your election, the general feel ing of admiration and gratitude for your long, ardu ous, and most brillinnt military arvicM a life of earnest devotion o yoyr country, your whole coun try, give a high hope, aqd expectation In the public mind that In taking the Chair first held by Washing ton, and whieh Is sacred to every American heart, you will be able to hush tlte winds and still the waves of sectional strife, lo pursue the constitution with all its harmonizing compromise, to promote the permanent pronperity and further illustrate the honorable fame of our tnion." The reply of Gen. Taylo was brief, but like all his composition, was to the purpose and the point. He gave assurance of his fixed purpose to adminis ter the government for the benefit and Mrantage of Ihe whole country. He expressed an ardent wish that he mlht be able in any degree to assuage the fierceness of party, or temper with moderation lite conflicts of those who ore only divided as to ihe means of aecuring th public welfare CONGRESSIONAL. In the Stnale, on the 27th, a large number of memorials and pctltiens were presented. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, from the joint com mittee appointed to wait upon the President and Vice President of the United Statea elect, reported that they performed that duty yesterday j that these gentlemen will take the oath of office on Monday, the 6th of March, and that they will, to the utmost of their power, endeavor faithfully to discharge tho duties of the high stations. On motion, a committee, consisting of Messrs, Jefferson Davis, John Davia, and Reverdy Johnson, was appointed to receive the President elect. The Senate took up the Civil bnd Diplomatic Appropriation bill, nnd were engaged in the con sideration of amendments until , at 4 o'clock, they took a recess. In the House, on the 27th, tho House went Into committee on the bill to provide a tcrltorial Govern ment In California. Mr. Roman, of Md., concluded the speech, which he commenced last night, infavpof protection to American labor. Mr. Sawyer moved to strike out from the bil Itho twelfth section, which Inhibited the extension of slavery. He said that the peoplo should have the right to regulate their own internal concerns. Mr. McClernand said lhat if the bill went from the House with this section, the Senato no doabt would reject it, as they did some years ago the Ore gon bill, with a similar proviso. He spoke of the duty of Congress to provide governments for the people of the territories. Several amendments were offered, and voted down; and then tho question was taken on that of Mr. Sawyer, to strike out tho Wilinot proviso. It did not prevail ayes 89, noes 103 . Mr. Preston offered a substitute for the bill to enable the people of oil the territory acquired to form a State Government. This received but one vote in its favor Mr. Gaylc, of Ala. Of course the substi tute was rejected. The committee rose, when the bill which had been considered was reported to tho House with but two verbal amendments. Hisnedrly the same in Its provisions as the bill which was passed for Oregon. Mr. Meade moved to lay the bill on the table, but the motion did not prevail yens 86, nays 127. The bill was passed yeas 126, nays 87, Mr Mecde reported a bill to establish a branch mint of the U. States at San, Francisco, on board of the U.

The House went into committee of tho whole on the state of the Union, and , proceeded to the con sideration of the bill establishing a Territorial Gov emmet for New Mexico. Tho first section fixes the boundaries, and gives to New Mexico the territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande. Mr. Vinton offered an amendment, with a view .if giving Texas a riyht to be h arU in defence of lur claim to that territory. A debate sprung up, and without taking a vote, the committee rose and the House adjourned. In the Seiwlc, on the 23th, the Vice President laid before the Senate a message from tho President, communicating information in reference to the com merce and navigation of the country, and 2,000 extra copies were ordered to be printed. Bill providing foithc establishment of lights and lijiit-boats along the Allan'ic const, was passed. On motion of Mr. Atherton, the consideration of the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill, was then resumed. The bill and amendment in Committee of the Whol. , having been last night reported to the Senate, the amendment providing for the next mslajmcnt of the Mexican indemnity, was this morning rejected, being already provided for in a separate bill, which has passed both Houses. The amendments authorising the purchase of the papers ol ueorge asmngton ami jmes muniw-, for $20,000 each, was adopted, the first 28 to iG, and the second 28 to 20. On the amendment of Mr. Walker, adopted in committee of the whole, extending the revenue laws and other laws of the United States applicable, over Upper California, and providing therein a temporary government, Mr. Dix ssd the yens and nays, and proceeded at length to express his views in opposi tion to the amendment, as out of place in nn appro priation bill, and in favor of a territorial bill, as pro vidin; the only proper government at this time. Mr. Dix did not conclude his remarks until twenty minutes before 4 o'clock, when Mr. Dickinson indi cating a desire to address the Senate, on his motion the Senate went into executive session, and when the doors were again opened took a recess until 6 P. M., at which time Mr. Dickinson will havo the floor. In the IIouu, on the 28th, the Slates were called in order for reports, and a great number were made chierly of an unimportant nature. Mr. J. R.

The Captain called a cnnsnllation of the officer, and it appearing evident that (he ship could hot stand the sea mnch longer on her present course, it was determined to sctjd her. The Engines proved faithful, nntler the super intendence of Mr. Downing, Chief Engineer, who, we learn, is highly commended by the Captain, for the praiseworthy efforts tie used for the safety of tlie Steamer. The Stea mer was scudded for two days-ex peel ing every moment to be ihe last. 100 miles Sooth of Cape Henry, foil in with Pilot Boat Fashion, of Baltimore. Owiny to the heavy Fea, it was impossible for the Pilot Boat lo go alongside Ihe ship, bnl through the ur- . gency of the Engineer, one of the Pilots, Mr. John A. Thompson, of Baltimore, was indu ced ta fasten a rope lo his body and drop him self into the water, and by thin means, thro' great exertions, he succeeded in getting on board of the steamer. While Mr. T. was in the waler, the two vessels tin fortunately come in contact, and placed him in great peril of his life, lie was forced to sink himself below the bottom of the Steamer, lo prevent being crushed to death.' He, however, suc ceeded in gelling on board the steamer, un hurt. A the two bonis come tojielher, three hands on board the Fashion jumped on board the Steamer, and Mr. Thompson had grea; difficulty in getting them back. They were, however, placed in a yawl, and succeeded in reachine the Fashion in safely. The Steamer then bore up for Cape Henry, hut the se.t making a complete breach fore-and-aft, and the ship being in danger of going down every moment, her course was shaped for Charles ton. On arriving off Cape Fear, it was found lhat her fuel was giving out? and she put into ihis port in thu above condition. 00-We would here remark, that tlie Gm tlahjuiuir is a hraulifully finished boat.

We hnve reaon to believe lhat the impression made on ihe numerous persons, public and private, who called on the General yesterday, scarcely one of Whom had ever seen him before, waa highly favorable. The blended urbanity and dignity of his demeanor, his kindness to till, nnd tho evident benevolence which pervades all his actions, aro well calculated to win general esteem. Wo ourselves were pleased to ob serve the alertness ana vigor wntcn marie nis move ments, after so many years of hard, anxious, and wearing service. XationtU Inltlligenccr. From tlie RnUigK Reg'ultr. THE REVENUE HILL. Wo have heard of some complaints among Capi talists, in reference to tho provisions of this Dill, which Imposes a tax on Income. To our mind, no thing appears more just, than that those who arc in ihe receipt of an. independent income, derivable from money loaned, slocks, or other fund bringing In a yearly interest, should be taxed upon it in equal de cree with that which is borne by other species of property. Wc have never heard any aolld reason In favor of exempting those from taxea who are most able to bear themi for we apprehend that it Is a much easier task for the capltalast to pay a small tax upon his actual receipts In money, then for the farmer to pay it upon his land and negroes. The interest of money Is six percent, while It I well known that the profits upo'n land and negroes is less than three per cent., North Carolina. It contended that an Income tax ia a double tax a tat on land and negroes, and then a tax on tho money ihen have accumulated. But them Is nothing peculiar in the case. Jf tho money, instcsd of be ing loaned, were invested In land or nnffroea, this land and those negroes would be otaxed. Then, whero I the difference? Is it not easier to pay the tax on Income then on land and negroes 1 in both ease if i a lax on a man's accumulations. If (hi principle were not the basia of taxation, a man's taxes would never increase, " however rich hp jpiehl become; and John Jacob Aster, who began liio huckster, would never have paid more taxes than men who arc now In that situation. The fourth Section of the Revenue bill provides that the tux shall be laid on the excess of Income -hove the Iptcrcs) wlhch the Individual pays out. Jn FINE OIL.
