Governor Pease, of Texas, in his annual
message, recommends the acceptance OF the
act of Congress for the adjustment of the State
debt. This debt being settled, the Governor
describes Texas to be in a better financial con.
dition than any other State Of the Union. She
had in her treasury $l,592,7 42 70 on the first
day of the present month, besides the school
fund of over two millions of dollars. She has
also public domain, the value of which can
scarcely be estimated. The value Of her tax
able propvity during the past year has IN
creased about seventeen per cent, and he,
therefore, recommends a reduction of taxation.
He also recommends a geological survey OF
the State, a State University, and asylums for
the insane and deaf and dumb, an improve
ment in the public system, and an increase OF
the number of State judges, with increased sal
aries, and opposes the prohibitory liquor bill,
but favors a "judicious law" on the subject.

~ We have sent bills to such Of our subscri-
bers as are indebted to the Sentinel newspaper,
rendering their accounts to the oath September,
at which time the second volume of the Tri-
weekly edition will close.
While returning our thanks to those who have,
from the beginning, sustained our enterprise, we
desire to say that all who wish TO continue their
subscriptions will be required to remit PAYMENT
~ ADVANCE for the next volume, commencing on
the 25th instant, as, otherwise, no paper will be
sent from this office. The terms, it is known,
are FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR.
We are compelled TO this course owing TO the
difficulty Of collecting our subscriptions, scattered
as they are over a wide surface of country. Our
friends viii, therefore, see the necessity of COM
plying with our terms. No offence is intended to
any, since friends and strangers are embraced in
the same category.
Subscribers not renewing by the first Of October,
their names will be stricken from the list.

The soundDues.

The Journal Of Commerce, on this sub
ject, furnishes an explanation of what Den.
mark means BY the capitalization of the Sound
Dues. 1t appears that the annual average
receipts of Sonnd dues on merchandise (~exclu-
sive Of legitimate taxes amount to 2,l03, 500
rix dollars, which, capitalized at 5 per cent, or
twenty years purchase, would produce 42,070,
600 rix dollars, or a little less than $50, 000, 900
United States currency. OF this sum Russia
is expected to pay 20 per cent. or So, 100000;
Great Britain, the same amount; Prussia, IL
per cent, or $780, 900; France 8 per cent. or
$500, 900; Norway, / per cent. or 100000:
Hamburg and Bremen, about $250,000; the
United States about $3.50, 900, &c. The amount
which would have to be paid by the United
States is very nearly the same as was actually
offered by this Government some time ago, as
a gross payment to Denmark, if American
vessels might thenceforth be permitted to pass
into the Baltic free from toll. But the Court
of Copenhagen replied to the effect stated in
the present circular, that !" such an arrangement
could not be carried on without the stimuli
taneous concurrence Of all the respective
Powers. The formal and positive engagements
which exist between Denmark and the other
Powers with regard to the Sound Dues do no,
allow ofany special arrangement on that subject
between Denmark and any other Power" The
meet the wishes of the United States, at the
same time that it invites the other Powers to
join in an arrangement which il may conceive
to be virtually the same as was once proposed
by our Government.
