From the Baltimore Sun.
Report Of the Secretary of the Treasury.

This voluninous and masterly docu
ment, being perhaps the most comprehen
sive, sagacious and argumentative, that has
ever issued from the department over
which its distinguished author presdes, is
in our hands; it is longer than the message.
occupying over ten columns Of the Union
newspaper, and as a whole, is SO replete
with interest, that it has claim upon the
attention Of every man in the community.
There are, however, portions susceptible of
synoptical publication, which we shall re-
duce to this form; portions which we shall
extract entire; and much that is merely ex-
pository, we must reluctantly, but necessa-
rily, omit.
The report opens with the following
compendium Of the financial statements and
estimates:
