THE PUBLIC DEBT.-It is expected at the
Treasury that the forthSNmins statemeN of the
debt on the fir. Of October wall show a slight
decrease. Only about four and tbrce-quarte-
millions have been paid out for interest on the
f0-i0 boads, and the regular expenditures have
not beea unusually large. 1t is estimated that
the Internal revenue receipts will be about nine
millions, and the customs have averaged about
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars a day.
The internal revenue receipts are the most un-
certain element in forming an estimate, as the
bulk OF the collections are often deposited
within the last few days of the month.
