The FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF RUSSIA.
In Gurowski' intelligent work on Russia,
he gives no very flattering account of the
financial resources of the Empire, which
become more and more embarrassed, since
not all the resources of the nation and of
the soil are within the greedy grasp Of
the Imperial Treasury. Direct taxation
is not known in Russia. The nobility
cannot be directly taxed, Eeither can the
soil nor the serfs. The latter pay only
small capitation tax of about dollar
head, which income is destined to MAIN
tain the local administration Of the differ
ent provinces or governments, as they are
called. But millions Of this tax remain
for years and years unpaid--and this Ar
rearage increases and extends daily. The
whole revenue of the Empire amounts to
l25 and 40 millions of dollars. OF this
amount nearly the half is yielded by the
liquor monopoly; the custom houses give
about 26 millions, from duties on exports,
the crown domains about "a Millions
Nearly two-thiIds of the entire revenue
is absorbed in the maintenance of the
immense army. The remainder Of the
revenue, after deducting the arrearages Of
several departments, but principally of
the crown domains, has to maintain the
general administration, pay the interest
of the public debt, support the large i'm
perial family, and finally supply the
expenditures of the Emperor upon his
favorites and his lavish extravagance
otherwise I; for which his private personal
income fails by many and many millions
to suffice. The national debt is nearly
$500. 100000. The yearly interest there
on is more than $4,000, O00-a little
more than six per cent on the whole.
The war of Hungary contributed might
ly to drain the depleted treasury. This
war, and all the military manifestations
since, outrun considerably the current
revenues-the real official resources of the
government. In extraordinary cases, the
government resorts to the Banks and
their deposits.

CHRONIC RHEUMATISM CUREDl

GEORGETOWN, Jan. 81, 1853.
DEAR SIR: 1t is with Sense of gratitude, and a
desire that others suffering from disease may be
dnced to use the Extract Of Beech Drop, that con-
sent to give the following statement for publicity.
Until the last month 1 was sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism from the effects of which my health
war 80 completely undermined and broken up, that
lost 70 or 30 pounds of my usual weight. Anxious
to find some relief resorted to the most approved
patent medicines. I used a number of bottles of
Townsend's Sarsaparilla and exhausted the list of
Liniments without any effect. My joints now be-
came enlarged, and the pains in my limbs excru-
times night. The muscles ofmy legs were so con-
tracted that presented the appearance of man of
sixty-fve when l walked In this condition, more
through curiosity than belief in its good effects
commenced tue use of your Beech Drop, and in ten
or twelve days the swelling about my joints had sub
sided and now, after the of three bottles, am
able to resume my business, and can walk with the
same ease and comfort that / formerly did.
Yours truly, &C., ISAAC BARRETT,

The State taxes for 1853 embrace the sehoo
tax which accounts for SO great apparent in
crease.
This statement exhibits the f.ct, that State
taxes have not increase as rapidly as lacal tax
es. The county, city, and other township mu-
nlcipal corporation taxes, constitute the great.
er amount of our assessments. These cerpo-
rate authorities have heretofore enjoyed an al
most unlimited power os taxation This arose
from the want of that general attention, which
the suajec has more recently attracted and
from disclination on the part of the General
Assembly to interiors with these authorities: e
lected as they are by and responsible jas they
are to their respective constituencies,
Since the new Constitution however makes
it the duty OF the General Assembly "to restrict
their power of taxation assessment borrowing
money, contracting debts and loaning their
credit, so as o prevent the abuse of such pow
er," have not deemed it improper ta call
your attention to the subject. The ropid in
crease ofan enlargement OF these corporations
in all parts OF the State, render.it one of great
Importance. The laws under which they are
organized should be carefully revised, and
such guards and restrictions imposed on the
exerc iSe of the power referred to. as may not
be Inconsistent with the efficacy ofthe admin.
istrations,
The county taxes as exhibited in the prece-
ding statement, will also, no doubt. attract
your attention. especially, when it is recollect-
ed thata very larg" portion of the expenses
incident to their administration is paid by fees,
of which no record, accessible to the public, is
kept. The entire expenses Of the several coun
ties cannot therefore, be ascertaned nor can
it be known, without detailed examination of
great labor in which OF them the administration
IS the most expensive. There. as everywhere
else The utmost publicity should be given to all
transactions of public nature. 1t promotes
economy and facilities reform--whle the ad-
dtion Of offices without such publicity only
complicates the system. AS in mechanics no
power is gained by adding unnecessary ma
chinery; so in government, it is seldom that
either purity or efficacy is increased by multi
plying officers.
The following tabular statement has been
cohated from the annual reports Of. the State
AnoiIor It exhibits, at n single view the ex-
penditures of the several branches of the State
government for the last ten years, and affords
the means of an easy comparison between
them.

The Consultation fixes the minimum amount
by which the principal of the debt must be au-
naaily reduced. That amount is 500 900 in.
creased yearly by compouud'ng at the rate of
six per cent per ann"m. Under this policy
the State debt wouIl notbe exlinguished un-
der forty years. 1t would involve the creation
Of new loans and an entire reorganization OF
existing liabilities with on. public creditors.
1t is hardly necessary for me to recommend
an early payment Of the State debt, after the
,c'ion on that subject, by the last Legislature.
which is believed to have met with very gen.
