The BANKRUPTCY OF ENGLAND AT the late
"Peace Congress- in Paris, Mr.. S. Quincy, son of
the great Quincy whose word was law among the
bankers and bll-brokers of England, said that EGG
land could not go long in her present course with
ou. bankruptcy; for all her means, 10 times of pros
perity, were barely sufficient to sustain her very
expensive government and pay the interest her
national debt, aud that her people could be taxed no
higher. and that the first of adversely would
bring The crisis. The London Times, certainly good
authority upon English finance, says that Mr.. Cur
neys opinion ought to be decisive, for his knowledge
and experience enable him to understand the case,
and his habits of thought and action, for he is Qua
kerr exclude all suspicion of rashncss. In short the
London Times says ditto to Mr.. Quincy. The Qua
ker says that England has had peace and prosperity
since 1915, and yet has greatly augmented her
tional debt. He adds that, the expenses Of her
ament during this period. have been 100000, 900
annually which, in the thrty6ve years elapsed since
1915, would have almost paid this debt. 1t is now
about $4,000 100000 and these payments would
have been So 500 100000. leaving only 81 500 000,
600 due. and considering the sinking operation, much
less.
Now agree with the Times and Mr. Quincy,
and say that the present English system cannot be
long sustained. The English must reduce their
my, navy and civil government, and let most of their
colonies GO. They must virtually abolish their
bity. and leave religion to take care of itself They
are losing all influence in Europe, and becoming a
minor power; and the time is not distant when,
the advocstes of free principles in every thing, they
will nd their only, and certainly their strongest. ally
10 the United States. The p ophecy that the United
States will finally become the protectors of the Faith
erland may offend the pride of its aristocracy.
But it will be fulfilled; and will another-ther
extinction England's follies, not her glories, are
waning.-Pa Ledger.

AID vALoREM DUrIEs.--The wings seem to be de-
termined altering the features of the revenue act
Of 1646. They find fault in special manner with
the principle of collecting duties on imported goods
in proportion to their value, OF, they usually
called, ad valorem. We cannot, for the life of us,
perceive any reason for annuling this mode of col
Letting the revenue. 1t strikes the most fair
and equitable that be devised. and infinitely pre-
ferabe to specific duties. duties levied goods
according to quantity, weight. or measure. In this
latter way, thousand cigars. that wero purchased
in Havana for 800, pay no higher duty than cigars
that were bought ut SO Thousand. A cask of
claret that cost 5000 in Bordeaux, will be charged
with no more duty at the custom-house than a cask
that cost S15 or $50.
This plan is manifestly unjust. 1t fayors the rich
man because his Injuries taxed no higher than
the poor mans necessaries. Thus tea at s. pound
pays more than tea at S50-the same thing of su-
gar, Coffee wines of all kinds, cigars. Camel coal
OF two dollars barrel pays more duty than the
common quality used by blacksmths.
Mr.. R. ]. Walker, in Of his reports to Con-
gress. puts the Of State law, which should ex
act the same amount Of taxation marble palace
that is exacted from poor mans dwelling that was
built for $500. Extravagant this supposed case
may seem, is really in strict accordance with the
principle of specific duties.--Nep Orleans Courier.

EfFEcrs OUR RAILRoAD.-Alhough our road is
not yet completed the certainty that it will be, IS pro-
ducing results which the strongest arguments IN
its favor-resulis which should arouse those who feel
an interest in the prosperity OF our county to ener-
getic and prompt action, towards its speedy compile
ton. As evidence Of the effect this great work
would have on the value of real estate, IL completed,
we alude to the recent sale of lots in Miami. town
laid off on the line of the road within 10 miles of
this place. There were forty six lots laid out and
every sold, at an average of % dollars Some
went high $50 and $75 We think this should
strike our citizens as fact, of some weight, in
making up opinion with regard to the utility Of
this road. Miami is destined TO be fourishing lit
tie village, as the lots all purchased by mechan-
les and others, with the view of locating there perma
nently There will be fine stock of goods taken to
the new town by Of citizens, soon as they
arrive from the East. The Miamians should make an
effort to get Post Office established at their town.
