Closing Scenes of the Great Revulsion—The Bankrupt Law in Operation— Final Strug- gles of the Paper Credit System over half the United States, ‘We are at leagth at ‘the beginning of the end.” This ‘blessed and beautiful day, the new Bankrupt system goes into operation, which, taken in conngo- tion with the errors of the banking syetem, as prae- ticed'to a great extent over half the republic, will produce one of the most remarkable, moral, civil, financial aad polities! revolutions that ever took he restoration of the morals and health of any cown In at! the commercial relations of individuals, the bankrupt eystem sweeps away half the power of State legisiation, and gives it a uniformity and an extent that communicates to Congress a power of civil centralization almost amounting to @ political revolution in the action of the different elements of government. State courts aud State legislation, #0 far as.the settlement of important debts are con- cerned, are henceforth anuulled and blotted out of existence. This operation of the law isof itself a great revolution ; but when it is connected wiih its effect on financial affuirs, and direct influ on thef banking systema, its ultimate results are ine calculable. At this moment, the paper system—the ew pended banking pewer—is in the last throes of existence, from Philadelphia to New Orleans. Two thirds of the banks, and two-thirds of all those commercial c'asses connected with them in their rogueries, will be reduced te pankruptcy and a healthy state of ra- im. The banks themselves will go out of existence like flickering lights in the socket—the individuals will fie into future prosperity and usefulness, through the operation of the Bankrupt Law. Ouraccounts from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mo- bile, New Orleans, Louisville, and Cincinnati are most melancholy and heart-rending in one respect tnost @heering’and encouraging in others. The only gre-n spot without blemish in the desert of general revulsion ia the eouth and west, is in Charleston, where the banks preserved a correct and honorable policy. Every other city and State that followed the pernicious financial doctrines of Philadelphia, will end in ruin end distress, as Pennsylvania ie do- ing. New York, and especially New Engloud, are preserved fromthe last throes of this revulsion, in consequence of the wiser management of their banks, and their hoetiliry to the irredeemable paper Sull the States north of the Hudson will ‘88 originating in those dis tricts south of jts shelving shores. The process ef this revulsion, and of the Bank- Fupt law in conjuaction with it, is etil! @ healthy ope- ration. Much distress and evil have been caused by the pest errors in the management of the eurreacy—but the only remedy is that which has now begun. Let all banks that cannot act mp to the great principle of a sound curren- Cy, paying specie on demand, wind up their af- irs and go out of existence at once. They heave room. und busineas for the seund banks to go On, and to re-orgunize affairs. Let all merchaats— all traders—wio are in depressed circumstances take the benefit of the benign law—rub out and be- gin the world again, on better principles than have prevailed for years past. Let all this be done, and this glorious"republic can recover itself in a'few short years.

Thisis well as far as it goes, butas a sub- seriber ‘9 your valuable paper, and an admirer of the independent and fearless spirit with which it is con- ducted, I take the liberty of oflering one or two sug gestions. Yeu are aware that New York merchants find themselves interested in almost every village, town, and city of the United States, and therefore it is just as-necessary for them to know who become bank- rupts in other places as in theirjown city. If, then, you would, instead of confining potreell ad a simple announcement of bankrupts in this city, issue a weekly publication, to be called © rupt and Insolvent Gazette,” oiving a list.of all the bankrupts and insolvents, as far as can be ascertain- ed, all over the Union, with the names of assignees, solicitors, and 80 on, with such other information on the subject as can be collected—it would, 1 think give great satisfaction to the public at large, and mérchants in particular, and would, no doubt, obtain great oatronage every where in this couatry, as well asin Enrope. If you deem these remarks worthy of considera- tion, I shall be happy to give you any information 1 possesses; or you could, if you have not one on hand, easily obtain from London a copy of Peorry’s Lon- don Bankrupt Gazette, which gives a list of all the bankrupts and insolvents of the United Kingdomof Great Britain and Ireland. lam induced to make these suggestions, feeling as Ido that you are the only editor in this country ca- pable of carrying out my views, you having corres- pondents in every town and city in the United States, as well as being willing to forego the hope of present reward, for the purpose of benefiting the public at large.

Henan. tecwuencun Amatecr Tueatarcars.—On Mon- day evening we were favored with a rich specimen of the above performanees at the Littl Drury, and which we understood from the bills was intended as a benefit for a Mr. Russell, brother to the voca- list of that name. Othello, and Three Weeks After Marriage, with a series of negro extravaganzas, were selected as the eutertaininents for the occa- sion; and.we must_coafes we haye seen the tragedy played much woree at the larger theatres. An ade dress, which by the way was a composition ofsome ment, Was delivered by the “ Othello” cf the eve- ning, a fashionable tailor in Broadway. We would merely remark, in regard to this gentleman's per- formance, that it would take a much larger number than nine such persons to portray the character, passion and feelings combined in the chef d’euvre of Shakspeare. “Jago” wes by far the best per- formaaee of the evening, and he was justly entitled to the applause which interrupted him in every scene. It eviaced considerable etudy, and much more than is roa fn on the character. It was not of course the Iago of an old stager, su as Vandenhoff would personate, but it was a crude and far from being a p: performanee. Cassio was entrusted to a clumay, overgrown boy, as he appeared to be,and onejwho did not know whatto do pa yee and le, Mig drunken scene was jorribly overdone. Roderigy wae very good, not the ludicrous, buffoon character, which we are ac- customed to see ; he was a silly gentle and came much gearer io Browne than any one,who has represented it in New York for sume time. The fe- male characters were very ably supported. The rest of the charactera—reguicscal in pace. Some curious scenes were enacted ben the course of the eve- ning. ¢ lights appeared to sympathize with the performers, who wished to get home as scon as possible, for several ttmes they incontinertly went oat aud left the amateurs in a state of tribulation — The iast act ia Oiheile was rare and unique—for upon the Moore’s killing the gentle Desdemona, he was good naturedly requeated by some wags in the pit to kill himself.

After the lecture, the report of the committee, appointed to investigate the truth of L’Occrente. neurology, “was read. In this report it was alleged very i Cleveland. that every experiment of Dz. Buchanan proved un- Ic of the Herald. successful and unsatisfactory. Dr. Sim ridiculed the science of Dr. Buchanan, and declared himend his science a humbug, (Dr. Buchanan was not pre- sent;) he then read two lettera, one from Dr. T. 3. B, spemen from Dr. T., concerning a patient whom Dr, Buchanan bad declared the Dra. T. S.B & T. had. pre up as hopelces and past recovery, and that he (Dr. Suchanen) had restored and ruised the devoted patient, in a manner from the grave. In these two letters, the Drs. stated that they had left the patient convalscent and out of all danger. Dr. TS. B said he “ would swear on oath what » had said in his letter was true;’’ he also “‘ believed h. B. tobe a humbug, and had been endeavoring to humbug the people.” ¥ die Judge R., Dr Buchanen’s father-in-law, ‘at critical period arcee, “desiring the privilege of baa oat letters,” one from the patient’s mother, the other from the patient himself, a youth about fourteen years old. The mother’s letter stated that she was corfident, thathad it not been for De Bu- chanan,.her sonweuld have, died. The patient's letter corroborated this statement, of course; a dis- cussion ensued, in which Dr. T. 8. B. denounces the neurologists in the severestterms, He said that “he had known Dr. B. from childhood, that he al ways held a high reputation for ve y,and that he (Dr. T.. 8. B.) did not doubt his city, but that hehe had been musled as regarded the statement of the ease.” Judge R. then stated “ that Drs. T. 8. B. & T. should have addressed a note to his sor- intaw correcting those statements.” Dr. T. 3. B. alleged “hat it was Dr. Bachanan’s place to enquire of therm whether the case was such as had been re- presented to him, and not to take the opinion of the mother in preference to that of the Doctor.” He also stated, **that had he been present at the writing of the letters, he doubted not, but that they would have been couched in aus different language.” Indge Rey replied, “he did not wish the honor of his family to be questioned, he believed a little in re , but without the assistance of neurolog) it was a mere plaything, fit only for children; wit the assistance of neuro} he thought it a master science, and that his son-in-law would be immor- talized by discovering a thing so wonderful; that it was one of the greatest dispensations that a benign Providence could confer upon his people.” Dr La 8.

Tu the early'stage of the debate, they might. have been adopted, but the discussion has presented a new issue, aad it is supposed they will be de- feated. ri Up to the present time there ,has been no defiai- tive action in reference to the New York Pest,OF fice. Mr. Coddington is to be removed. So mech isaetiled. Asto the successful candidate, the opin- ion heretofore expressed respecting Mr. Bloodgood 1s in unison with the general sentiment prevailing here, and very little doubt now exists that he is to be the man. Several individuale, Mr. Hoxie amorg the rest, have come onto urge their * but, sofar as can be atcettained, they have made no headway whatever. Hoxie’s claims are founded entirely upon his vocal powers and performances, but as the dutiey of Postmaster are not executed ac- cording to the gargut, he can hardly expect to sing himeelf into an office so lverative and important. The hostility to Mr. Bloodgood among a certain class in New York; ‘has stimulated his friends to in- creased activity, and every effort to prejudice him with the appointing power, has been promptly met and thwarted. The only objection to which any particular importaace was attached, rested on the fact that he has not always been a resident of the city ot New York. This has been entirely obvia- ted. He took a residence in your city some time ago, and has been activé in many public matters re- lating to its interests, iz with ite citizens, and impelled by similar considerations. Besides, many similar appointments in just such cases have already been made. They were considered no obstacle in the way of Mr. King of the American, whose fami- ly live in the State of New Jersey, when he was a prominent candidate, nor to Webb, whose family have resided in another county for years.. Mr Bloodgood has the confidence and support of the great body of the whig press in the State at large, and a host of feiends in the city. The ables and most iofluential men of the whig party have vouched fot his influence, his talents, his seivices, and bis integrity. The wealthiest men in the city have advocated his’ claims, and the whig young men of the State consider themeelves represented by him, Hisefficient labors in the Harrison contest, when he and afew devoted friends stocd firmly and almost alone ageinet the Seott men and the Clay clique, have convinced the country ef his sagacity ani perseverance.
