We were shewn yesterday, the new
Staff of Office for the Speaker ofthe House
of Representatives, manufactured by w.
Adams, of this city, No. 1875, Church
street, and we must pronounce it a beau
tiful specimen of American workmanship.
The Staff is composed Of twenty-six fas'
els, made of ebony, and bound together
by a silver band running crosswise from
either end. The Staff is surmounted by
a silver globe, beautifully engraved, the
whole capped by the American Eagle.

A most daring robbery was committed
in town to-day, which, perhaps, you have
heard of. About l o'clock, a room over
the Patent Office was entered by false
KEYS, and several valuable articles, be.
longing to the General Government, slol.
en-. The robbery was committed in the
small room where the presents 10 the Off
GERS ofthe Government were kept. Three
articles were stolen valued at la 900 dol.

sented by the Emperor Alexander 10 Lieu.

d'Afaires at St. Petersburgh; the pear
necklace presented by the lmaum Of Mus.
cat to President Van Buren, +; and a gold
~scabbard, presented by the Viceroy o.
Peru to Mr.. Biddle. No suspicion, as
yet, rests on any one. The Commission
err Of Patents (Henry l.. Ellsworth, Esq.
has issued a handbill offering a reward o
$1,000. What makes the robbery thu
more singular, is the fact, that the precise
time of its commitment is known, within
ten minutes, or Whereabouts, the articles
having been exhibited a few minutes be

being visited by a second party a few mo

ANNUAL TREASURY REPORT.

The following notice Of the prominent
points of the Annual Report OF the Score.
tary Of the Treasury of the United States,
is taken from the National lntelligencer :
The state of the Treasury is Of course
the same as it was represented to be IN
the Presidents Message to Congress that
is TO say, there will be an estimated deh-
cheney in the Treasury on the 1st of Jan.
uary next, requiring immediate provision
to meet it, Of S627, $50; which deficiency
is caused by the failure to obtain the ne.
cessary amount of the Twelve Million
Loan, in consequence Of the shortness OF
the time which it had to run. Mr.. Store
tary Ewing, the reader may recollect,
when he asked for the loan to relieve the
Treasury from membranes left by the
late Administration, recommended that 1t
should be authorized for a term of eight
years but, in passing the Loan Bill, Con-
gress limited the loan TO three years, too
short u term to invite investment of funds
in it by capitalists. This deficiency the
Secretary recommends shall be provided
for by immediate authority being given to
issue Treasury Notes TO the required
amount.
For the next year (1s42) the Receipts
into the Treasury excluding the proceeds
of sales of Public Lands) are estimated at
$40, 200. OOO-from which is to be de-
Quoted S627, $50, the estimated deficiency
at the end Of the present year. The Er-
%penditures for the year, including the
| amount necessary to redeem seven mil
lions of outstanding Treasury Notes, are
estimated at $32, 79l ,0l0 leaving to be
provided for, on account of the expeDdl-
lures of lS43, the estimated sum Of Sl4,-
/ $50.
To meet this deficiency in the revenue
for 1912, the Secretary recommends to
Congress to authorize an extension OF the
term Of the portion of the Twelve Million
Loan not vet taken, and a reissue OF the
Treasury Notes heretofore authorized by
law, amounting to five millions OF dollars
the balance Of the deficit in the ways and
means, together with two millions OF dol
lars, Ia surplus deemed necessary to be
in the Treasury TO meet emergencies II
the public service,) TO be supplied from
imposts upon such foreign articles import
ed in the United States as may be Sc
lected with due regard to a rigid reslrlc
ton in amount, to the actual wants of thu
Government, and a proper economy IN 1t
administration"
This is the outline Of the Budget, as
is very plainly and clearly stated in IN
Secretary's Report. The Report the
, goes into an argument upon the principle
which ought to govern the adjustment G
the Tariff to the wants Of the Govern
ment.

that the election Of Mr.. Newman turned the scale

BREMEN LINE OF STEAM SHIPs.-The
Boston Evening Telegraph understands,
from good authority, that it is in contem-
plation to establish a line of steam ships
from Boston to Bremen. The agent OF
the Bremen company came out in the

made. There will be two more ships to
run once a m~onih-they will land at East
Boston the wharf has already been en-
gagged for the purpose. They will CON-
mence their trips in tho spring, and it is
expected that Capt. Cleland will come out
in command Of the first ship.

Man (Dem.) publishes a number OF artl-

State, favorable to Mr.. Buchanan for the
Presidency, and the Editor remarks: " 1t
will be seen that a number of influential
Journals avow themselves in favor Of Mr..
Buchanan, both from a strong conviction
that Pennsylvania has claims to the hon.
or, which should not be disregarded, and
from the high estimate entertained Of Mr.
Buchanan's talents and services, consid'

weighed by the democratic family of The
Union in making their selection. Th'
matter thus preached is of vital impor
lance, and il is one which we desire to SCI

From Tie Richmond Wing.

The Enquirer has a warm protest a
gainst the appointment Of Mr.. John G..
Adams as Chairman Of the Committee oil
Foreign Affairs. After impugning the
patriotism of that gentleman in no mea'
sured terms, it says: "From such a
Chairman, may the good genius of the
Republic preserve the destinies Of the
country"
Is this denunciation prompted by a
spirit of patriotism or of faction What
act of Mr.. Adams life warrants this sweep
ing prescription from the service of his
countryl He is eccentric to be sure, and
has his failings-and who Of US all is Tree
from blemish7 But when did he ever be-
tray a national trust or compromise a ma
,ronal right Fle has had ample oppor-
~,uni,ies to do both. He has been the
Minister Plenipotentiary Of his country to
nearly all the Courts of Europe-He has
been the Secretary OF State and Chief
Magistrate OF the Republic-and in all Of
these capacities, he has had it in his pow
err to compromit the national honor and
sacrifice the national interest-bu did he
ever do so? So far from it, has he not,
in every instance, been exaciing to the
ninth part of a hair, when the lnteres. of
his own county came in conflict with that
of any Foreign Power? Did he not, on
one memorable occasion, carry his Amer
lean feeling to such a lofty pitch, that the
veteran scribbler, who now lifts up the
voice of defamation against him, exclaim-
ed in rapture !. We are proud that we
,cere born in the same country w,h Ad-
ans ?"
We do not undertake to be the cham
pion of Mr.. Adams in any degree. He
needs no champion. The people of this
day will not do him justice-the next gen.
GRAFTON will do him more than Justice
The generation which comes after that,
will assign him his proper place-and I'M
der its dicta,ion, impartial history will &C
cord to him u brighter page than to all
his r~evilers combined. But We are no,
his champion. We d ffer from him on
many important questions of domestic
policy-but his past life gives assurance
that he will prove true TO his country, IN
all its contests, whether of arms or nego-
%tiation, with any Foreign power. We
believe this to be the conviction of every
man of intelligence and candour in the
land-however much he may differ with
Mr.. Adams about the right of Petition
and the English invasion OF China. We
say thus much not to eulogizs-bu, as a
sheer act Of jnstice-as set off TO the
rabid ~outpouring of vulgar party malig-
n;,, md hate which can deScry no merit
no one redeeming virtue in any man,
who will not subscribe to its creed, and
worship at its affairs.

PRoGRsss OF REFoRM.-The "Inde-

the arduous, the faithful. the disinterested
public services Of a man whose high char
acter and virtuous abilities have shed a
lustre over the entire Politics of this coun-
try, have once more found a Chief Magis-
trate who is bold enough to reward them /;
and that Amos Kendall, though unable,
we believe, from i'll health, to quit his
house,-hus received an appointment OF
10 dollars per diem, for directing the al.
teralions and repairs Of building, which
was Till the other day, used for the Gene.
