FLORIDA A.

The Legislature of Florida adjourned in the night
of Friday, the 25th ultimo. Amongst the most i'm
portant business which transacted during its
session the Tallahassee Sentinel enumerates the
organization of a separate Supreme Court, Board
Of Internal Improvements, and Board of Agrcul-
ture; the incorporation Of the Atlantic and Gulf
Central Railroad Company, and of some half dozen
or more plank road companies; the revival Of the
Atlantic and Gulf Railway Company; the incorpo-
ration of the State Bank the passage Of law to
secure the swamp and overfowed lands, &C.. all
Of which are regarded as acts destined to exert a
beneficial influence upon the fortunes Of the State.
LESLIE A. THOMPSON, Esq. was chosen to COM
plete the Bench Of the Supreme Court.
As respects the position Of Florida on the slavery
question, the Sentinel takes occasion to correct an
erroneous paragraph, which went the rounds of
most of the newspaper press two or three weeks
ago. and which, in substance, stated that the Legis-
lature of Florida had adopted report and resolu-
tons presented by the House Committee on Federal
Relations. The Sentinel says:
".The late General Assembly of this State took
no action at all upon the slavery question. The
Senate, we think, never had proposition upon the
saoJSSs o'ioio ~ oulihS VIC scSSlOH. He I1OuSe
had good many-all Of which have heretofore
been placed before the reader-but none of them
were ever pressed to vose. A joint committee of
fifteen were also appointed by both Houses, and to
this committee were referred the address and reso-
lutions of the late Nashville Convention, and vari-
GUS other documents emanating from the Legisla-
lures of the other States, but the committee never
reported. The proposition of the late adjourned
session Of the Nashville Convention, for South
ern Congress to be held at Montgomery in Ala
bama, next winter, was early laid before the Gen.
eral Assembly, in special message from the Gov
ernor, but it met with no response. In the House,
indeed, towards the end of the session, an amend.
ment was moved to the resolutions of the Commit
tee on Federal Relations, providing for an election
Of deputies to this Congress- but the whole matter
was laid upon the table the next time it came up.
"The General Assembly having, with all the
lights before them, failed to make any legal pro-
vision for representation in the Southern Con-
gress, it will hardly be supposed that the Execu-
tive can, in any way, feel authorized to take action
on the subject. Equally should this significant
omission to check any attempt to get up bas-
tard representations by Courthouse meetings, in
which not tenth of the people are represented"

The PoToMAc CANAL.--The Cumberland Civi-
liam states that the application which has been made
to the Virginia Legislature, now in session, to guar
anty $l50,0OO of the bonds of the canal company,
to enable it to construct feeder at the south branch
has been received very favorably, and stands fair
chance Of being granted. This will be an mpor-
tant improvement, not only to the canal but to the
inhabitants Of that portion of Virginia lying on the
south branch. It will give an abundance Of water
to the one, and afford an outlet to market to the
other.

BALANCE OF TRADE.

As the House of Representatives appear indis-
posed to act on the tariff, we have made calcula-
lion to see how the balance stands, and the extent
Of injury that might be inflicted upon us at any
time should foreigners lose confidence in our
stability. 1
High authority--ABsoTT LAwRENCE, than whom
we know no better national man in all his senti-
ments-has lately said that we owe to Europe one
hundred and fifty millions Of dollars for national
bonds, State bonds, and the bonds Of cities and cor
porations. As the balance of trade is certainly
against us, or, in other words, as we have been
oyertrading which is proved by the rate of foreign
exchange and the fact that coin is being exported.
it is nothing more than reasonable estimate that
we owe Europe at least fifty millions of dollars un
der this head. These two items sum up to the
tune of two hundred millions, which we are liable
to be called upon for at any moment The hity
millions will no doubt be required as fast as the
debts fall due, and the whole or the greater part OF
Ibis sum must be paid in our California gold and
