Finances OF Virginia.

The Richmond papers contain an official state
ment of the financial obligations Of Virginia, ell
cited by the following resolution of the House of
Delegates, adopted on the 25th ultimo:
"Resolued, Thatthe First and Second Auditors
furnish to the House joint statement of the pub
lie debt, after crediting the Commonwealth with
the amount of debts actually guaranteed. on which
the guaranteed parties have hitherto punctuallv
paid the interest, and likely to do go herea fter
and With the further amount of appropriations
actually made, but not likely to be called for die
hnguishing such appropriations as have been made
contingent upon the subscription by private indi.
viduals corporations of two-thirds of the amount
of such appropriations, and excluding from said
statement the amount of the literary fund"
In compliance with this resolution, the First nd
Second Auditors have furnis he'd their report from
which it appears that the actual outstanding debt
of the Commonwealth, on the 25th ultimo, amount
ed to $l5.S72,4l5 3d.
In estimating the existing debt. those officers
state that they have excluded the amount of the
bonds OF certain corporations guaranteed by the
State, as the State is amply secured from loss on
account OF those guarantees by mortgages upon
the property of those corporations and BY their sc
curites.
They have excluded the certificates of debt held
by the Board of Public Works and of the Literary
Fund, being stocks in trust for the Commonwealth.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE

BALTIMORE, April SIS D. IN.
The resolution introduced into the City Coun-
Gil to sell the three thousand shares of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, owned by
the city, has had the effect to depress the stoc
to the extent of 81 per share. The decline was
however caused by the erroneous impression tina
the stock would be forced upon the market,
whereas the resolution gives the register ample
time to dispose of it, and fixes a limit below
which it cannot be sold.
Dr.. John P. Gum, the present assistant post
master, has resigned his position. The doctor
was a most laborious and efficient officer, and
Colonel Davies will be fortunate if he secures an
equally competent successor. There are quite
number of applicants for the'post including sew.
eral of the old clerks. The rush for office is un
precedented, and the names of the disappointed
will be "legion."
Governor Lowe has rendered the office of Conn.,
troler of the Treasury, made vacant by the resig-
nation of the Hon. P. F. Thomas to the Hon.
Thomas o'Neal, at present Secretary of State
Mr.. O'Neal holds the Office under advisemcnt

when new election will be held.
