viously rendered by them, and payments have been
made to the contractors the division of canal

nishng the statement required in clause third of said
sections which abstracts have been received at this
Office, but also after the first day of October and will
appear regularly in the next semi-annual statement
In view Of the importance of the subject of pub
lie debt, the following statements have been prepared
for the purpose of showing probable means and
liabilities from 1647 to 1858.
IT will be found, on a comparison with the report
from this Office of last year, TO be somewhat less fav-
orable to our than that estimate; yet taking
the whole period of six years, (he period being
embraced both estimaes,) il will be found, not
outstanding the assumption of less Of increase, to
sustain the position that the present rate of taxation
with exertions the part Of the treasury de-
partment, aided by temporary loans during two OF
three years of the PERIOD will probably be sufficient
to carry out the arrangement made with credi-
tors, and meet the current expenses of an economical
administration of the government.
Ii will be perceived that it is assumed in these
statements that annual increase of taxable polls
will be 1900, and that Of the taxables two millions
annually; and that the annual delinquencies polls
ard taxables will exceed sixteen dollars the
hundred. Should our revenue laws be amended in
some few particulars, TO full and equa
assessments and greater certainty in the collection

EXECUTION OF LAWRENCE TEARNEY.-The Penn
sylvanlan has letter containing account of the
execution, on Friday last, at Easton, Northampton
county, of Lawrence Tearney, for murder.
short time before the condemned criminal was
executed, he was thus addressed by the Rev. Mr..
Reardon Sc You know, Larry, that your only hope
of salvation depends upon your telling the truth; you
surely can never enter Heaven with fasehood upon
your lips" The prisoner replied :-"I know that,
sir, and have other desire than to tell the truth
can declare soemnly before my great Judge, that
am entirely innocent of the death of my poor wife,"
His dying dress then put on him, and at ten
minutes before twelve o'clock he was led from his
cell TO the gallows. He assembled to the platform
with firm and manly step, accompanied by the
reverend gentlemen who attended him. The usual
ceremony was performed by the clergyman, when the
prisoner turned to the crowd, and said So Gentle
men, as erpect shortly to appear before my God,
can declare before God and man that innocent OF
the crime for ,ohich am TO suffer. forgive all who
harmed me-May God have mercy on my SOUL"
The cord was then cut, and poor Larry was launch
ed into eternity. He died extremely easy death,
having shown signs of life only four minutes after the
fall He struggled-but three twitches of his
shoulders and all was over i. saw the prisoner an
hour before his DEATH and spent time with him,
in the presence of his clergyman. His demeanor
was perfectly calm and cool. He repeatedly express
ed hope that his Exchange from this world to the
ABODE or bliss aOOVe, would De one OF peace ana

he was Ignorant Of the manner in which his wife
came her DEATH" After the body had hung for
thirty-fve minutes, it taken down, placed in a
coffin. and deposited in the burial ground of the Cath
Ollie church, his funeral being attended by the jury
