Five Hundred and Fifty Millions a Year. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, announced in the Federal Congress, on Friday last, that the estimates for the expenses of the next fiscal year were five hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This is five times the currency of the country, three times more than the coin in the country, and more than the expenses of Great Britain during the war with Napoleon.
