This law will at once impart animation to the manu-
facturing and commercial interests, and of course to
all others, while it renders lawful the collection of the
revenue, made since June 30, on at least doubtful
authority.
The state of the Treasury is such as to need all the
aid that can be given by this Act, both in direct re-
venue and in raising the credit of the United States
securities.

According to an official communication of the act-
ing Secretary of the Treasury, of the 23d inst., the
present liabilities of the Department are—
On account of Civil, Diplomatic, and Mis•
cellaneous Services, estimated at. 5200,000
Service of Military Department, estimated at 1,500,000
Service of Navy Department, estimated at 775,000
Treasury Notes due and payable, but, while
continuing to bear interest under the pro-
-visions of the Act of April 15, probably
will not be required to be paid beyond the
SlOO,OOO mentioned in my letter of yes-
terday

$3,875,000
To this is to be added the amount retained to meet the
payment of trust funds, the sum estimated as payable to
the States under the Distribution Act, the interest pay-
able on the public debt on Sept. 30, and the amount
which will probably be required for redemption of Trea-
sury notes and interest, being an aggregate of $1,180,000.
Against this aggregate of about five millions of
dollars, there are no "available funds" in the Trea-
sury, except the above sum held in trust and for dis-
tribution, &c.
The Treasury estimate of funds to accrue from the
Customs up to January next, is four and a half
millions, and from miscellaneous sources 50,000
dollars. The estimate, however, was made under
existing laws ; the new tariff law must increase the
amount.

The whole amount of Treasury notes which in con-
formity with law, may yet be issued on 22d instant,
was only 116,931 dollars—not including Treasury
notes, paid in for lands, and re-issuable.,
The whole amount of stock of the twelve million
loan sold, is less than two millions ! of which all but a
small fraction issued at par in payment of debts, was
sold at 2 1.2 per cent. discount for a 6 per cent. stock.
In this condition of the Treasury a Bill has passed
the House of Representatives, and will doubtless be-
come a law, authorising the issue of Treasury notes
to the amount of six millions of dollars, in lieu of an
equal amount of the 6 per cent. stock still unsold, and
forbidding the sale of any more stock under par, or the
issue of any certificates of stock for debts due by the
Government, or in any other way, than for a bona fide
loan.

As this will only leave about four millions of dollars
to be borrowed on loan, wepresume, now that revenue
is provided and the amount of the stock to be issued
is ascertained, that this will readily be obtained at
par, while the six millions of Treasury notes will aid
to furnish a general circulating medium.
On the whole, therefore, unpromising as appear-
ances have been and low as is the actual state of the
United States Treasury, we look forward with con-
fidence to better times and more assured credit.

Congress will adjourn this day, after a session as
eventful as any in our annals.
The occurrences and measures above referred to
are still so recent (indeed some not yet complete),
that their effect upon the market for United States
or State Stocks, and on the commercial or money
market generally, cannot be appreciated. That the
tendency, is upward all feel, but to what extent re-
mains yet to be seen.
The State of Pennsylvania has advertised all her
Sublic works for sale, agreeing to receive in payment
tate Stock at par—this stock ranges now, as it is a
5 or 6 per cent stock, from 40 to 44, so that the
temptation to buy is very great. No limitation or
reservation to price is made in the notice inviting
proposals, which are to be sealed and received up
to The works cost about thirty millions
dollars. What the result of this effort
_ may be, to

impression seems to prevail that the Legislature of this
State will, at the next session' take some decided
steps to resuscitate the credit of the State.

The promise of the cotton crop continues favour-
