Pennsylrdnia.-Hcr Debt and Resources. The Baltimore American says: The pub lie debt of Pennsylvania amounts to about S4O,O00,000. This is large aggregate, but when her vast resources and mineral treasures are considered, 1t will seem comparatively small. The coal mines of Pennsylvania are surprisingly rich, vast in extent, and mex haustible in quantity. It is computed that her mines of anthracite extend over nearly a thousand square miles; and the area of her bituminous coal region is estimated at some twenty thousand miles,. The quantity of an- thracite coal carried to market has increased, Tn the space of twelve years, from 175,000 tons, to 100000 tons and nearly double that quantity of bitumnous coal is mined in the State, a large portion of it being consumed within the Commonwealth, chiefly at the west

 A statistical work, recently published by MT. Trego, gives a variety of particulars concerning the physical geography and con- dition of Pennsylvania. For many years past the State has increased in population, al the rate of about 30 per cent. in each suc- cessive period of ten years. In lS40, the whole population of Pennsylvania was l,724,000, and in 1850 it will doubtless ex- eeed two millions.
