The. annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress is published in ihe last number of the fjlobe, filling; eight 'columns, a space which we cannot at pre sent Miare for it. . j The most important points, in this do cument are oi course, First, the state of the Treasury. On this head: the" available balance of ino- ney in th Treasury on the, 3 1st of De- cembr, 1839,'' is sttted at l,oot),d4. " Secondly, the amount of monevs esti rrtmed to be :iecssary for the service of the next yar. These are estimateu to amount to "at least 83 1.152.1 06. of which it is computed that 820,000.000 'will be expended wilhm that year for ordmarv purposes.of two uuUionsandiihree-ounhs more, including the redemption ot 1 rea surv Notes" Thirdly, to trieet this expenditure, the customs, land sales, and miscellaneous services aire esliinated to amount within '. -ihf year to $18,600,000, and, with the balance estimated to be in the Treasury on iJbcf 1st January.1 1840 to constitutr the sum of 820.156,385, as "the efficient ineans" for 1840. , ; . Fourthly, the amount of imports and exports. ' The amount of Exports for th year ending September 30. 1839, is esti mated to have been 81 18.357,000. being an exresn over those of 1838 of $9,872.-3S8- Of the .vhole exports, only .81 7, 409,000 were of foreign origin The Imoorts lor the same neridu are estimated to liave amounted to about 8157.700,000.

We both shriok hands, and be" did not say that the affair bad' twen settled to my discredit ; if he says otherwise now, I should like him tp speak out. If we are to have another- outbreak, and-the gentle man is desirous of it it is not a matter to speak of here. I -am sorry it has been thought of .suffi cient importance to occupy the time and attention of this Hoiise" these are private matters. If the gentleman had called upon me. I would have ex plained to him my meaning : and if he had been aggrieved by the use of the word " bully," I would have told him that by that term I meant a political champion. But if that gentleman undertakes to be my lecturer in this Jlouse; we cannot both stay here nor long in this world. I have no more to say. ' After Mr. BrxrM finished his remarks ; Mr. STANLY said, as he had been personall; ,. referred to, he hoped he might have the privilege of" saying a few words. And what I say, Mr. Speaker, will depend upon the answer I receive to a question I shall ask the member who has just ta ken his seat. I would ask him, sir, civilly, amd I hope he will have no objection to giving a civil answer, whether he intended to use the word -bul-lv" in an offensive sense, or merely as he said, as a champion in deliate." I did not distinctly un derstand him upon this point. . Mr. Bisim saidshe had already explained what he meant, and had .no objection to giving a civil answer to a civil question. And he said he should not repeat what he had stated, and that he never considered his colleague a bully in any way.j VHIU MEETING. The Whi? Committeeof Vigilance snd Correspondence' for the!

Never before, Mr. Spsaker, have I met a North Ca-oliniari frqm home that I did not feel my heart yearn towards hira-as to a brother. No matter if we had been foes at home abroad I could not look upon him as an enemy. But, sir, shortly after my- arrival here, I warned my colleagues not to introduce me to this individual. I have never looked upon him and thought of my native State that I did not feel ashamed. 1 The Speaker here interposed, and said he had permitted the gentlemen from Maryland to make yv'"ow'"w"" V" - r .' , ( a statement dv tne indulgence oi tne nouse, oui good . of his country his onlyvaim, I doubt that the debate must not proceed in this way, not. but that his exertions would be ex- , M taxit said : As I have been referred to, clusiveU- directed to uphold the one, and to advance the other.

E3r We have no room for comments. v. .1 T want to sav but a few -words in relation to my self ; I will rclieve the speaker from any embarrass ment, and will endeavor not to transgress the rules. I will make but" one remark more, sir. At the last session of Congress I came into collision with that individual, and applied to him, personally, the most grossly oflicfisive epithets. He made a direct, un equivocal threat that he would have satisfaction. I w'aited, patiently, to hear from him but, sir, I have never heard a word from him since that day. If, therefore, sir, I had heard the remarks which he says he made. I could not and should not have taken the least notice of him. The Speaker again interfered. Mr. Stanit said, Mr. Speaker, I shall nbt con descend to the use of offensive language I will onlv reneat. that, after mv remarks of the last ses- reion being unanswered, I cannot notice any thing from that quarter. .

This unpleasant conversation here ended- Froni the London Courier. The singular. fortune of the- family of S.ixe "Coburjz are the" extraordinary and wonderful incidents of this age. The do mSiin of Cobifrg, the patrimonial estate of the present dukl, the eldest. ol the family,' and brother of Leopold, was a very small prjincipalily ; the net revenue did not ex ceed 700 per annum. Of course, upon such an inco-ne, he family pride was dif ficjult'to support, and the means of edu' cation for fhe younger branches extreme ly! restricted. On account of the small- ness of the means, none ol the lamily co'uld venture an appearance at court at Vienna, save the du'U, and he rarely. The portion of the inheritance -of Gotha- Altenbotirfir, wtiicn -came to mm, great. y improved his standing and extended his possessions, an inheritance which would rio,t so readily have been conceded to him but from the powerful alliance and coun tenance of this' country ".through Leopold. Tne territory 'of Coburg and Gotha may belestim ied, to contain together. 1 60 000 souls. The revenue is stated at 100.000. nrr annum, from which-was to be deduct ed the interest of the. debt or.. mnrttra?e ' upon the property amountinJot4G5, 000. which taking- tbe'rale at Si.x'per cent., not i high rate for Gei many, will.be an annual charge of 27, S40.

He did not, ln- deed, know at the time, whether it was the inten tion of either of the gentlemen to act toward him in that way, but they had certainly grossly mis represented him. Let him say to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Jennifer) that, ever since the memorable 7th of June, 1836, his conduct toward that gentle man had been-the same as that of the gentleman toward himself; be had never volunteered,, either in the House 6r out of it to. disturb or interiere with that gentlbrnan, .There were others in the House with' whom he found himself on the same terms. He considered it as the duty of a gentle man, when he had had a difficulty . with anotner, and that dimcultv had been settled, not to be for ward t6 re-open the door for another difficulty, un less he was disposed to act the part of a bully. He had alwavs abstaineu irom b.. . y ith that gentleman, and had been chtded for it by a member on that floor; but 'he . had conceived it his duty as a gentleman to avoid further intercourse; and, therefore, when the gentleman from Maryland had indulged in remarks, however keen and cut tins, he had not noticed them, on the ground of .u. ..u..:,;r,.lions hatween the gentleman and himself-not that he deemed such remarks wor thy of notice.'
