The pro babilities are that this rate of increase of public debt will continue throughout the present year so that our debt in July 1859 will not be less than eighty million* of dollars. The present expendi tures of the Government are, including interest on debt, ninety millions of dollars. This expen diture after allowing lor the borrowod receipts make* an importation of four hundred million* of dollars of foreign foods, or about $15 for each person in the country necessary to prevent bank ruptcy. \\ e a yearly Importation greatly in excess of our present trade, with an increasing national debt, as the alternative to a bankrupt government. On the other hand, we find by the Custom House records that our ex ports for tht present year will probably not be over three hundred millions of dollar*.

MCRDIR AND SUICIDE AT lIARTtoKD, CoN.v.—Chris, topher Colson, who for many years has been en< gaged as a fish dealer in Hartford, Conn., cut bis wife's throat Monday, killing her instantly. He had been divorced from his wife for the year past- The Courant says: Saturday night last be slept at the house of his brother, .lames U. Coleon, baker, No. 54 South Hudson street. The bouse is occupied by four families. Mr. Colson living on the first floor in the north half. Christopher was sitting in oneof the basement rooms, in conversation with a Mr. Barker, when his former wife, who has since the divorce taken her maiden narae of Sarah Burns, came in from her mother's. Colson advance! to his wife, and endeavored to take her haud, but she repulsed him with the remark "that her nand was now her own, and that she did not wish to have anything to do with him." She then attempted to leave the room, when he followed her, caught ber by the dress behind, and eut her throat from the right ear to a point j'ist below the chin, makiug two horrible gashes, severing the carotid artery, and partially sev ering the jugular vein. He manifested very little passion or feeling of any kiud, but remark ing that he'hoped she was satisfied,' threw his bloody weapon—a large two-edged fish knife—un der the table, and proceeded leisurely to the pan try, where he commenced devouriog some pies that were stored there. The inmates of the houso were, of course, thrown into the greatest conster nation aud excitement by the terrible event that had just transpired. Some attempt was made to arrest the murderer, but he was so much held in dread by those present, who feared that he might be still armed, that he was allowed, after he had eaten and drank what be wanted, U»-leave the house unmolested. From the hotel he walked in a leisurely manner np Ferry street till he came nearly opposite the old Bartlett tavern, where he was arrested." On Tuesday, while in prison, he took a ijuantify of opium, and died in a few hours from the effects* CarrtiS'j a Steamboat Overland.—A writer in the St. Paul Mlnnesofiao, dating at Crow Wing, says: , ' About the Bth instant, the work of taking to pieces the Auiou Northrup atd preparing the frame of the new boat was commenced; and to dty, the 19th February, the whole portable frame of the boat, boiler, engines, machinery tools, amounting to more than fitly tons of freight, be sides stores and baggage of the men, and hay for the teams, is packed upon sleighs, and thirty teams are trudging away with their load over the prairies and through the pineries toward the lied River of the North. The boiler and the heavy ma chinery must be hauled on runners a distance of one hundred and sixty.five miles. The new por tions of the boat will be taken from Swan river, one hnndred and ninety mile*. The boat, which is to bear the appropriate name of the "Pioneer," is to be one hundred feet long, twenty feet beam, with a depth of four (eet in the hold, and is calcu lated to carry from seventy-five to on# hundred tons of freight. The train is accompanied by about forty teamsters and mechanics, who will commence work as soon as they reach Ked Hiver, and the boat will probably be in tunning order by the first of May. The road is good as far as the Otter Tail City, and teams have been through to Ked River during the past week, so that the track is probably well broken all the way.'' A Fchool Difficulty at Boston —The Catholic children attending the Kliot and other schools in Boston have refused to participate in the opening devotional exercises, including the Lord's prayer and the ten commandments. This hRs caused considerable excitement, and some two hundred of the Catholic scholars have absented themselves from Eliot school. It appears the scholars were forbidden to participate in the religious exercises by their pastors, but the school committee deter mined to adhere to their regulations, notwith* Standing. A Kbfak fcl tub Winp —A few days ago, a well known gentleman named Joseph Locke, a contrac tor aud builder in St. Louis, went to the Mecha nic's Bank and drew out |180 in $10 bills, for the purpose of paying his employees. Ingoing down the steps of the bank, with the eighteen bills iu bis hand, a sudden gust of wind blew off his hat. Iu throwing up his hand to recover bis hat he lost possession of the bills,which were instantly taken by the wind in circling eddies upwarls. Mr. L.'s loss by the operation was Ilis feelings as he saw the bank's promises to pay slowly sail* ing ever the hinse tops, nre much more pleasant to describe than entertain. Commerce of New Orleans. —There is no immedi ate prospect of relief to the commerce of New Or» leans. The report ot the Kngineer employed, says it will reqnire four mouths' labor and tho expen diture of over one hundred thousand dollars to open the southwest pass. On the Oth instant 05, • 000 bales of cotton were then detained on shipboard in cooseqnenco of tho vessels being unable tocross the bar. Among the ships detained below were ,-eight from lijstnn having on board several thous and tnns ot ice. |fl,oi»n Ltons. —Tho reported arrival of the frl g»t« Cnracoa, with f-ord Lyons, the new British minister on board, is contradicted by the New York papers of Monday afternoon. The evening Post says: The British Consul at this port had up to noon to-day received no intelligence of his arrival. He had telegraphed to Sandy Hook to make inquiry, but no such vessel as the Coracoa bad boen report ed there. The probability that the whole report in a mistake is enhanced Iroin the fact that the Curacoa is tinder orders to proceeed direct to Chesapeake Bay, and land Lord Lyons at Annapo lis, without coming first to New York. A State in Mourning — The New Orleans Pica yune speaks of Louisiana a* a "State in mourn ing,"consequent upon the explosion of the stea mer Princess. It says, "there is scarcely a oom ti: unity from which some one of the lost is not missing, or to it known by his social virtues."— The fatality among prominent citizens was re markable, and the State may well mourn its loss As Kfricrivr.

Ar*p.st op Ttit Supposed Foroek is Bostox.—The telegraph lias announced the arrest in Boston of a man named Oiborn alia* Turner, tnpposed to be tbe person who forged a check on Paul Ilinton A Co., of Petersburg, Va„ $4,100, and got it cashed by Sutton A Hnders, of Richmond. Tho Boston Ledger eays: The New York detectives were placed on the track of the supposed forger. Osborn was the name the person gave who presented the check, hot it was afterwards found that he had another name of Turner. The shrewdness of the detectives was at once brought to work in the case, and it was ascertained by a certain description of his bag* gage, that a man answering Osbarn alias Turner's description had departed for Boston. Information was at once sent to this city, and detective officer Heath placed on the track of the individual. lie learned that the person described arrived here last Monday afternoon, and during the week he was busily engaged iu ferreting out the supposed guilty party. Last Saturday afternoon, after a diligent search of Ave days, he traced the trunk of the supposed forger to the National House. Hay market Square, and after examining the register aud not iioding the names of Osborn or Turner there, be examined the baggageaud fjund the long looked for articles, marked with a big "A," but gome names, partly obliterated, were to be seen also. Edward Argentin was the man who owned the property, and on being found, answered the description of the man who was described to have received the money so well, that Mr. Argentin was taken into custody, and on being examined. $1500 on the Tremont Bank of this city, fSOO ob ttio Bank of the Metropolis, and a small amount in gold, was found in his possession. In the Police Court, yesterday afternoon, before Justice Maine, Argontin was arraigned for forgery and held in $0000 (or his appearance Wednesday morning. Iu the meanwhile, one of the firm of the bankets will Arrive in this city, and have an opportunity of identifying the accused. Mr. Ar gentin is about six feet high, rather slouder, and in his appearance has the look of a person in ill health. The description answers in every respect, and although there was no positive proof, the dodge thought that justice demanded his deten» tion until he could be seet» by Mr. Knders, who telegraphed yesterday afternoon, the dispatch be« lug received while the Court was in sessiou. The Washington Tragedt.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, writing on the Bth inst., speaking of the counsel in the Sic kles case says: Foi the prosecution. Mr. Ould will, of course, lead, in virtue of his office, and, ptobably,(though as yet none has been retained.) Mr. Key's family will engage associate connsel. For Mr. Sickles, there will appear the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, (who is Mr. Butterworth's counsel.) Messrs. Stauutoc, lladcliff>, Chilton and Magruder, of this bar. aud of the New York bar, Mr. James T. Brady aud Mr. John Graham, who have been selected, from a le gion of volunteers, as proper representatives of the representative from New York. Mr. Graham, who has arrived today, will open the case, which will be summed np by Mr. Stauntou and Mr. Jas. T. Brady, one of Mr. Sickles'earliest, and through life, one of his warmest friends. The prosecutiou will lie conducted, according to present appear ces, with great fairness, and without any spirit of personal bitterness. The correspondent also says: Mr. Sickles does not look woll, as hasbec-n rep resented. Mental sufferiugaud confinement within a prison's walls have told severely upon him, pal ing his cheek and shaking his vigorous constitu tion. To-day Mis. Pendleton, of Ohio, sister of Mr. Key, left for that State, accompanied by Mr. Key's four orphan children, ber own two children, and the two children of her widowed sister, the accomplished Mrs. Blunt.

His son escaped uninjured, hut his daughter was struck by some portion of the train, and bad one arm so dreadfully crushed that amputation was necessary. Dr. Wright was formerly a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature. Fivi Mis Stabbib is Boston. —On Sunday even* ing a gang of drunken rowdies in Boston, proceed* ed to the club room of an association, drove out the iutuates, destroyed the furniture, attacked several persons with knives, and stabbed and wounded Dani«l Boyle, R.

I'rei Nman in Missouri.—A few days ago the Missouri House of Representatives passed a bill declaring that all free colored persons over eight een yoars of age shall leave that State iu one year from August next, or be sold into slavery.

LOCAL AFFAIRS. ASoooibtiok.—As thtr« seems to be *omo tittle difficulty in procuring a suitable lot for the new j*||, It ha* been suggested that the •ite of the Laucaaterian School be selected, and that the preeent jail be thefl remodelled and turned Into ahonse of correction. Thi* plan, If carried ont, will Involve the necetaliy of building a new achool bourn at some other polot, while the jail will atill be so far from the court house* that criminal* will have to be carried through the •treeta, to the detriment of public moral*. The old jail will answer very well for a house of cor rection, became it may be so changed and venti lated as to becoma dry and bealtby; bnt there are very many citizen* who will raiae serious objecs Hon* to pulling down the Laocasteriau School House, fearing that the Council will not rebuild Sospiciods Chabactibs —Yesterday morning three lads—Robert Heath aliat Bob Rid ley, William Oallaber and Kdwln Wicker—wore arraigned beOre the Mayor, charged with being suspicious characters, and believed by tbe police to bo a portion of the gang of young desperadoes, whose feat* at breaking and stealing have eicited the city »o much within the paat aix week* What proof there is for this *u*picion we are unable lo *ay, ns the examination of the pria onera waa continued until to-morrow.

He was, however, arrcated for debt, immediately on his release from criminal prosecution. Wood Inspkctoe —If inspections of auy sort are neceasary, none ia more ao than that of cord wood. The practice among wood chop per* has been almost universal of cutting tbe wood but three and a half instead of four feet long, and to protect our citizens against thi* imposition, an Inspector would be well employed. A friend itifirma us that he ha* seon wood onlv three feet long, stacked aud sold by the cord, as if it were four feet, thus making purchasers pay for one cord when they received but three quarter* of a cord. Such traffic 1* unfair, aud should be guarded against.
