THE APPREHENDED DEFICIT.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of the New York Tribune says
that there is apprehension of any deficit in the
revenue of the current year. only in the appropria-
tons. In other words, there will appear to be
more debts than was anticipated, but plenty Of
money. For the year ending in 1851, he says that
the defcitin therevenue, with the present sources
Of income, will hardly reach four millions, and can
not exceed FIVE.
The claims Of Americans on Mexico, assumed by
our Government, the cost of the government OF
Oregon, the conquest and occupation of New
Mexico and California, the annexation of Texas,
have largely swelled the annual cost of military.
revenue, erritorial, judicial and Indian services,
while they have absorbed large part of the reve-
nue. from public lands, in the shape of soldiers
bounty warrants. Running the new BOUNDARY
with Mexico, protecting her people from the deprs-
daiions Of savages, whom the treaty has made us
responsible for, and hundred items of novel ex.
psnditure caused by the Mexican war and its re-
suits, show the causes Of the increased estimates.
and make il impossible 10 have calculated with any
precision the accruiug debts and obligations, all Of
which may be expedient and just, besides many
which it may be right to pay, though not very
wisely contracted.
Il is gratifying to hear that the revenue is in so
sound condition.

Bingaman COurse---Fan Meeting,

SIXTH DAY-SuHday, Dec. l6.-The attend
anee yesterday despite of the storm, was toleraby
good, and the sport made full recompense for the
dlsagreeables The track was very heavy the first
race a one-sided afair-in fact, a gallop through
the mud but the second contest, in excitement
and interest," answered for the former, leaving us
nothing to regret on the day. The entries for the
purse Of 500, four mile heats, were John Black
and Error Both of the nags had plenty Of back
ers; bets were even, and odds offered and choice
given. The friends of Error, however, seemed
more anxious to pile up, which they did to a good
round sum- and the result proved that they laid out
their funds to advantage.
At the signal the horses started together, Error
soon taking the lead, position that he maintained
with ease to the end of the heat if he had kept ur
his stride on the last quarter he could have dis
tanced his antagonist without extra trouble. The
first mile was run in 2 O3I the second in 2 O6E
the third in 2 90 the time of the heat was s 4O8
! On the second heat John Black led round tn,
first mile at a spanking pace, but Error passed hin
at the stand, and on the next quarter John reduced
his rate to slow gallop, came in perfectly tire,
out, and was Withdrawn. Error of course took TIN
money. We append summary.
