MARYLAND Gov. PRATT in his laie message, estimates that over and above he sum to be collect ed under existing laws to pay he interest on the pub lie debt, sl50 900 per will be required to meet this and proposes the follow ing To pay one per cent out uf the commissions, which the law al lows each xecutor charge upon the settlement of an estate which will yield s25,000; to charge five per cent upon collateral Inheri.ances, which will produce S25 ,000; to pay per cent on nll proper ty when the deed is left for record with lhe Regis fer, which will yield sl0O,000. The next is 10 i'm pose a Stamp Tar on all bonds, notes, &c. This is an important move, and the Governor says, "l would provide that the State should receive for the stamp required on note other obligation for the pa! men ol sums of sI00 or under, 25; sums of more than sI00 and less than $500, s1, of sums of more than s50n and less than sl0OO, s2; of sums of more than 5000 and less than s5000, B; and of sums o more than 5000, 80 Practically the effect of hs legis- laion would be to impose upon the borrower of mo. ney only additional interest equal to tlie stamp duty, whilst in most where the obligation is given for preceding indebtedness, the creditor would pay the tax. If the details of the proposed law are SO framed as avoid inconvenience bs rem derng the stamps readily accessible to Inc citizens of my part of the State, would in my judgment ol viac the only objection which could be reasonably sfged against il. This i. rather heavy, but as lhe notes would seldom average more than 5000, obiec. lions wou Id not Le made-bu to those who do credf business the tax would be quite enormous."

 THEATRE.--The business al this establishment we are pleased 10 see, is once more in fourishns condition, and succession of crowded houses has but spurred the manager redoube his efforts in the production of novelty. Sberdan's patriotic play of the "DeaM ef Roila" is to he produced this even

 ing, together with the musical drama of the "Forty Thiepss'' anI the pieces are both the production of two of our greatest draustsis--Sheridan and J. Coleman-we trust that an overh1wing house will be a proof of the public taste.
