By the last accounts from Pennsylvania, we 'find that as
respects the State Debt, the Treasury exhibits rather an im-
proved aspect—but as regards foreign claims, we fear it
will be some time before their wants are fully attended to.
Still however, any movement in the right direction must be
considered as satisfactory. The following is a quotation
from the New York Herald upon the subject, and which
must be of interest to the holders of bonds and shares in this
country.

dollars.
" Balance in Treasury, August 1, 1844 566,596
Appropriation for payment of interest due in August
1845

Deficiency for which checks are to be issued
" This is a very reasonable estimate of the condition of
the State Treasury on the Ist August, 1844, and shows
that more than 300,000 dollars of the interest must
be paid in checks, to be redeemed with the first
moneys received in the Treasury, in the order in which they
are presented. This is a much more favourable statement
than we have heretofore considered it possible to make, and
gives us reason to believe that the credit of Pennsylvania
will be redeemed much sooner than we anticipated. Before
the February instalment of the interest on the State Debt
was paid, laws were passed by the Legislature, then
in session, providing additional sources of revenue. These
laws were not to be realised until after the Ist of August,
before which time another similar annual dividend became
due. At that time it was within the knowledge of the Go-
vernment that if the Treasury was drained to pay the inter-
est then due, the Treasury would not be in r,ceipt of the
funds on the Ist August to pay the interest then due. The
treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania is making efforts
' to raise funds to meet the semi-annual interest on the
public debt, due on the Ist of August.' He has issued a
circular to all the counties of the commonwealth urging the
Commissioners to a vigorous course of collection. lie calls
particular attention to the Act of April 5, 1844, and says :
A compliance with the provisions of the Act referred to
will save to your country five per cent. of your taxes, and
you will have the satisfaction of aiding the commonwealth
at this important crisis. In order to secure so desirable re-
sult, so far as my right extends, I will give the Act a con-
struction as liberal and beneficial as it will permit."'

fete champetre and morning concert, which
are to be held next Thursday, at St. Dunstan's Villa, Regent's
Park, in aid of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear,
promise to be very attractive. The locality itself is well
worth visiting ; it contains a vast number of works of Gre-
cian and Roman art, curious relics from Pompeii and Her-
culaneum, and other objects of interest. The concert is under
the direction of Sir Henry R Bishop, and supported by many
eminent musicians. Every exertion will be made to render
the fete as amusing and interesting as possible.
AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE.—We understand that
one of the most distinguished writers of the day is engaged
upon an Historical Romance, to appear immediately in Ains-
worth's Magazine, and which, we doubt not, will add to the
literary character as well as to the popularity of this periodical.
THREATENED ASSASSINATION.—It appears that a
weigher, from information given to an inspector-general that the
former had entered into fraudulent collusion with parties, had been
officially degraded, or put back from superior to inferior duties,
and ultimately placed under suspension, by reason of his mal-
practices. Being of a vindictive spirit, It would seem that he
openly protested that he would shoot one or two of the heads of the.
Customs department, his fancied oppressors. This coming to the
knowledge of the inspector-general (the principal object, it is
said, of the man's deadly hatred), and from his known determined
spirit, steps were taken to have him held to bail to keep the peace;
and at the same time he was superseded by the Board of Customs.
Thus the matter stands at present. It does not appear that any
gross delinquency was absolutely proved against the weigher, for at
the time he held out his threat of assassination his case was under
investigation.
HONESTY REWARDED.—TWO ragged country lads
were walking about the streets on Friday for want of money to pay
for a lodging, when one of them picked up a pocket-book contain.
ing papers. Being unable to read he showed it to his companion,
and it was ultimately agreed that the pocket-book should be taken
to the police station house. The inspector on duty on looking in
the pocket-book found that it contained a bill of exchange fur 4501.,
and a receipt for the Art. Union subscription. The lads were told
to take their prize to the Marlborough.street Pollce.court ; and ask
the magistrate's advice, who desired them to wait until a police-
constable had made inquiries at the banking-house where the bill
of exchange was made payable. The constable returned in a short
time with the owner of the bill, a gentleman named Ingram, who
had just caused bills to be printed offering a reward of 5/. for the
recovery of the pocket.book. Mr. Ingram, on being repossessed
of his property put down five sovereigns for the lucky and asto-
nished finders. The lad who picked up the book agreed to divide
the prize with his companion, and the money was consequently
handed over to them.
SHOOTING AT PIGEON EXPRESSES. During the
past week several complaints have been made at the sporting
houses in London concerning some valuable pigeons that have
been shot whilst travelling to London from Ascot. One gentleman,
residing at Lambeth, has had two pigeons shot; one of them
arrived at its destination on the Cup-day with its left leg com-
pletely shot off. The owner was necessarily compelled to kill the
poor bird, which he previously valued at three guineas. Last year
a similar occurrence took place on the Derby-day, which was for.
tuuately detected by the bird falling into a gentleman's garden at
Wandsworth, who made the fact known through the medium of the
press, which caused the miscreant to be apprehended and heavily
fined by the magistrate at Wandsworth Police-court.
Thu Duke of Devonshire has left Devonshire

House for his marine residence at Kenap Town, Brighton, There
is no preparation in progress to justify the statement that the

_ .
Noble Duke intends to give a fete costume at his villa at air
wick.

Lady Montgomery and party, Colonel Bryan and
family, the lady of Major Rice and family, and Sir William and
Lady Allan, were among the numerous passengers that arrived at
Blackwall Pier early yesterday, by the General Steam Naviga
tion Company's steam.ship Soho, Captain Cullen, after a rapid
passage of a little over eighteen hours from Antwerp.
THE RIVER STEAMERS.--The crowded state of the

steam-boats which ply on the river Thames, particularly above
bridge, call imperatively for some powerful or legislative interfer-
ence. A correspondent states that he went on board the Day-
light steamer last evening, about nine o'clock, coming from Chelsea
down the river. At Nine Elms, the crowded state of the vessel,
with the noise and confusion, inspired him with so much alarm,
that he with the greatest difficulty indeed, and with the most
imminent danger to himself and family, succeeded in landing at
Lambeth ; but notwithstanding the frightful danger which the
vessel encountered, by being so overloaded, numbers of pas-
sengers were there permitted to go on board, for the purpose of
proceeding to the lower parts of the river. This is one among nu-
raerous statements which reach us almost daily of this growing
evil, and, until some frightful aceident occurs, will probably re-
main disregarded by the Government surely, it is time that
some legislative endeavour should be made to protect human
life against such proceedings on the part of steam-boats companies.

THE LATE DUEL AT PORTSMOUTH.—There are lots
of flying reports at Portsmouth about Mr. Hawkey, the surviving
principal in the late duel, but no reliance is to be placed on any of
them. One states that on the evening of the duel Mr. Hawkey
entered the house of a friend at Gosport, and said, " For God's sake,
give me protection: I have shot Seton in a duel, and lam afraid
he is dead." He s'ept there that night, and departed for Cher-
bourg. At that place it is said that he has been confined by the
British Consul; that having arrived there with a passport
made out in a false name, and wishing to proceed, he applied to
the Consul for one in his own name of Hawkey, and that he was
detained in consequence. Another report is, that a letter has been
received at Portsmouth, stating that is is the intention of both
Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Pym to surrender about the middle of July,
to stand their trial at Winchester. A third report says that Mr.
Hawkey has never been five miles from Portsmouth since the affair.
DEATH IN PARIS OF ONE OF THE FEMALE 10WAY
INDIANS.—The loway Indians have sustained a severe loss, O.ke.
our.mi, the wife of Little Wolf, died on Thursday, of an affec-
tion of the lungs, brought on by grief for the death of her your',
child in London. Her husband was unremitting in his endeavours
to console her and restore her to the love of live, but she constantly
replied..." No 1 no! My four children recal me. I see them by
the side of the Great Spirit. They stretch out their arms to me,
and are astonished that Ido not join them." The Little Wolf has
not appeared at the exhibition since Monday, not having quitted
his dying wife for a minute, watching over her night and day, and
suffering no one else but himself to perform the offices of tenderness
which her condition reqiiired. She charged him to make her ac-
knowledgments to the physicians who had kindly attended her,
directed the dress she was to be buried in, and requested that a
medal of the Virgin Mother of the Great Spirit of the Christians,
which she wore round her neck, might n)t be removed. The three
other women wept over her corpse, although she belonged to a
different tribe, the Sioux, who were enemies to the loways.
A LADY SMOKER.---A lady, who recently arriv,d
as passenger by a large vessel from the East Indies, had from 15
to 201bs. of cigars in her baggage, which she obtained possession
of on account of her making a declaration that they were all

imported for her own private use, and not for sale or merchandise.

THE THEATRES.
DRURY-LANE.

" Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear," such are the
words which Shakspeare puts into the mouth of " the Queen
of Beauty and Love," and they might be not inappropriately as-
sumed as a motto by our own Enchantress (for be it ever re-
membered Madame Anna Thillon, notwithstanding her name
and her accent, is an English woman), they might we repeat
be not inappropriately assumed as a motto by our own En-
chantress who is by her fascinations attracting crowds to old
Drury every evening, but alas!

" bright mast fade,
The brightest still the fleetest."
We are soon doomed to lose The Enekantress. This is the
last week but one of her engagement, and as the term of her de-
parture draws nigh, her powers of attracion seem to increase.
Last night the theatre was crowded to excess, and never was
Thillon in better voice—never did she sing more charmingly—
never did she act with greater fascination. A new ballet en-
titled Nathalie followed, in which Mademoiselle Weiss danced
the " Gitana " with great taste and elegance, and Mademoi-
selles Louise and Silvain gave us the " Bolero." Mademoi-
selle Louise is the best dancing Spanish national dancer on
the stage. She is so thoroughly imbued with the Spanish
spirit that we could almost fancy it was La Nena herself who
was dancing the " Bolero." The ballet was completely suc-
cessful.
