POPULATION AND RESOURCES

OF THE UNITED STATES.

PIIILADELPIIIA, :MAY 20, 1841.-1 have been fortunate
in obtaining from Washington a few documents of the
late census, which, except a partial statement of popula-
tion, have not yet been published officially. The truth
is, the returns from a few unimportant counties of minor
States, and the agricultural returns from two States and
two territories, have not been received at the seat of Go-
vernment. It is not likely that they ever will be. In the
returns and synopsis transmitted herewith, thase trifling
deficiencies have been " estimated " by the proper autho-
rities. You may, therefore, rely on the following state-
ment of the " Population and Resources of the United
States," being as full and correct as it can ever, in all
probability, be made :

THE PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES.
The following is an estimate of the value of property
n the United States : Dollars. •
Value
Debt
Annual interest 11,060,000
From the known fact that all the property (out of the
City of New York) assessed by the State assessors, is in-
variably valued at 20 per cent. under par, we may safely
estimate the value of property in the United States at
4,000,000,000 dollars.
The exports of the United State in 1840 were
131,571,950 dollars ; the imports 104,805,891 dollars.
The following is believed to be a pretty correct esti.
mate of the agricultural and manufacturing produce o
the United
iStates in 1839—the year to which the cen•
sus of crops, &c., must apply :

RAILROADS AND CANALS.

There are 3,319 miles of railroad in use in the United
States, constructed at a cost of 1186,000,000, and greatly
facilitating travelling and transportation ; 1,802 miles,
more arc in progress of completion ; and the whole
number of miles projected, including finished, un-
finished, and routes examined, is nearly 10,000. There
are also 3,910 miles of canals, of which 3,450 mites of
artificial (canal or slack-water) navigation are completed.

ANECDOTE of. SIR TOBY BUTLER.
Talking of law and wine reminds me of a mem-
ber of the horse-hair Body, who was well-known
to be incapable of acquitting himself with any
degree of credit if he had not previously fortified
his head-piece by what might be denominated
his aids to eloquence. Sir Toby Butler was his
name ; and on the occasion of a trial in which Sir
Toby was to address the Jury, the agent of the
party opposed thought to muzzle the Counsel.
He accordingly bet Sir Toby fifty guineas " that
he could notspeak to the Jury in the case of ' A
versus B,' without first drinking his allowance of
two bottles of claret." The Counsel accepted the
wager, and the attorney communicated to his
client that the leading Counsel of the defendant
was done for, it being well-known he could not
put two sentences together before he had finished
his modicum of wine.
The day of trial came, and the cause called on.
While the plaintiff's Counsel was stating the
case and examining his witnesses, Sir Toby was
observed very quietly to uncork a bottle of wine,
pour it into a bowl beside him, and, taking a loaf
of fresh bread, dip it in the bowl, and, having sa-
turated each mouthful, eat it until wine and
bread had mutually vanished. He was not yil:t
satisfied, for having finished No. 1 he attacl.ed
No. 2. A second bottle and loaf having gone to
keep company with their predecessors. Sir Toby
rose to address the Jury for the defence, and cer-
tainly no change "came o'er the spirit of his
dream," for his masterly eloquence wanted
nothing of its usual vigour ; the clearness 'of his
reasoning, the force and brilliancy of his rhetoric,
never exhibited greater powers; and the verdict
of the Jury in favour of his client with costs was
the gratifying tribute to the abilities of the ad-
vocate.
" Hand over the fifty," said Sir Toby to the
attorney of the opposite side.
" Sir Toby, you have not kept your word with
me," replied the defeated man of costs.
" How do you prove that, old Six-and-eight-
pence 1"
" Was not your agreement not to taste wine ?"
"Not to drink you mean ; I only ate. Cone,
give me my money, or I'll knock you off the
Rolls, and never let you darken the dvar of a
Court-house again." The loser tho o•i
jnit it best
to post the coal, and Sir Toby added to his well-
earned fame as a wit.—Old Sporti-
Magazine
for July.

The result of the Westminstr,r election is attri.
butable to two causes—one, the too great confidence of the
Liberal Candidates in a certainty of success—the other, the ab..
surd conduct of the Chartists, who have literally cut off their
nose to be avenged of their face. These deluded men waited
until the afternoon, to see how, matters went, and when they
found that the Tory Candidate iiad a chance they voted for him
and Mr. Leader, in order, as they said, " to spite the Whigs,"
forgetting that they were more likely to spite themselves.
