Asrounving Orgration or THE Banxrurr Law. -A Rapicat Revotution 1x Soctety.—The ope- ration of the new Bankrupt Law is begining to create one of the deepest and most radical revolu- tions in American society than ever was produced in any country, by a change in the organic laws This revolution goes to the very heart of the com- mercial, financial, and fashionable circles — but seems not to reach at all the industrions and work- ing classes, who are comparatively economical, contented, and honest—thus operating like the hur- ricane in the forest, sweeping down the tall oaks, while the willows bend to its force. It is also a law of the most radical and nullifying description, in relation to the courts acting under State au thority. In our paper to-day, a most singular deci- sion, in this point of view, will be found—in which the Court ct Chancery, created by the State of New York, is entirely and effectually abolished. This is only one sample of the principle ef nullifi- cation, as organized by Congress, and operating on State authority. From the practical operation of the present Bankrupt Law, we think there can be no doubt, but we are in the commencement of one of the most quiet, intellectual, unpretending revolu- tions in society and in goverumeut, that ever took place in any country, with the single exception of the effect caused by tie abolition of the laws of pri- mogeniture in France. The revolution produced in society by the mismanagement and suspension of banks in 1837, and their bad conduct since, was rely a preparation for that which has how begun onder the Bankrapt Law. Whether this radical cha in legal institutions, in banking and other coinpanies, and in moral effecta, will be better or worse for the country, seems yet a doubt- ful question, As faras we are able to judge, we are disposed to believe that it will be beneficial in the end. No doubt much iniquity and injustice will be perpetrated under the Bankrupt Law—and many who conceal their property and defraud their cre- ditors, may escape punishment; but yet it may be considered certain that the revolution in society will be beneficial in the long run A few days ago, the estates of 241 of these bank- mipts were sold, the whole of which brought only $1,500—while their debts amounted to more than a million of dollars. Others again, in several sections of the country, who have taken the benefit of the act—and got rid of debts to a large amount—yet, some mysterious process, are able to come forth in style, exhibit much luxuriousness of life, and live at such an expense as to indicate the secret possession of much property, and great resources. Yet with all its faults—and its doubtful results, we are not sure but the new Bankrupt System, with some further amendments, may not be beneficial to in socie! society—to morals—to integrity, in the long run. Under its operation thus far, it has been one of the most powerful secret checks upon the banks, that has been known—compelling the rotten banks to wind up—and the sound institutions to be honest, wary and careful. It has also operated as a cheek on the expensive habits of fashionable society—and compelled the luxurious classes to cal- culate—to think—to economise—and to make the two ends of the year meet together. It will also, in time, draw the line between respectability and amy, in the business affuirs of life—and operate xs a moral check upon that class of society who acknowledge no other law, either human or divine. By and by no man will trust, credit, or associate with any person, however respectable in mere appearance, without first consulting the bankrupt lists. Fourrerisa in Perrtics.—It appears that during the present season there is to be a remarkably novel feature in the political doings of this city, county and State. The address just published, by the Conrempr or rue Court or Srssions —Severa :wyershive requested us to commence a suit for { unages against Judge Lynch and the Court of Ses- ons, for citing us, contrary to th - statute, to answer » the complaint made of contempt, when by law 1ere was no contempt atall. We are assured that we have a capital case, and these gentlemen pro- 1ise te conduct it for us, without any fee or reward, but merely for che honor of the movement to pro- tect the liberty of the press against the invasion of ignorance, folly, and presumption in high places — We are assured that we could recover $5000 at least \gainst the Court of Sessions, ‘This advice is very good, and were it not for the good feeling we entertain towards Judge Lynch, we might trouble him much. The motion on which we were cited wasmade by Henry M. Western and Attorney General Barker. If we could bring an ac- ton against these gentlemen, and get a verdict ac- cordingly, we might do so, purely out of a gene- rous desire toimprove their knowledge in the sci- ence of the law—for a little improvement in that article would do themnoharm. ‘These indictments and citations for contempt of court are, however, small affairs. We were fined $350 for asserting that Noah wore a wig, was unfit to be a judge, ig- norant of the law, and no ornament to the bench.— Well, what was the result? Hardly had we been unjustly fined, than Noah was compelled to resign the office, not on account of his wig, but froma consciousness of the very ignorance and unfitness exhibited by him. The legislature ought to take up the law of libel, and define the rights and privileges of the press, in every respect, so that editors may know their duty, in all its varieties. Mr. Van Buren’s Movements anp Prosrrcrs.— Atthe recent Locofoco Convention in Massachu- setts, the friends of Mr. Van Buren had secretly pre- pared a resolution nominating him for the Presiden- cy, in order to take time by the forelock, and set aside Mr. Calhoun, or any other prominent locofo- co. It seems, however, that the friends of Mr. Cal- houn and others were on the alert, and this move was quickly and completely put down. We also understand that there have been several deep and secret movements attempted at the recent ward meetings in this city, having the same object in view, all of whieh have been prostrated by Mr. Calhoun’s friends here. And at the late meeting at Tammany Hall, when Wright Hawkes (who is a friend of Mr. Calhoun’s) mentioned the name of that distinguished man, the applause was quick as the lightning flash, and enthusiastic and powerful in the extreme; and Aaron Vanderpoel, who was sit- ting on the platform, was compelled to add, “ and Van Buren too ;” upon which Wright Hawkes, from courtesy, repeated the words in his speech, but the applause was faint compared to the former. These are significant signs, and mean something. And the factis that Mr. Calhoun is making great pro- gress with the democracy of this city and State; and his visit ere in November will be an important and eventful one. By the by, Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire, willbe here soon, and it 1s proposed to give him a grand dinner. But what side, or what individual he means to support, is notknown, His support will be backed by his State. That's worth something. Tue Srasat Marer.—The announced perform- ance of this beautiful oratorio of Rossini’s last night at St. Peter's, created an excitement through- out the city yesterday that was beyond all precedent The feeling extended not only throughout the mu- sical world, but throughout the whole city. The rushing, crushing, and furor was beyond all prece- dent. Two hours before the performances com- menced, the place was crowded to suffocation. Hundreds, and probably thousands, went away un- able to obtain admittance. The performances went off with immense éclat. And this oratorio will have to be repeated at least a dozen times be- fore the public will feel satisfied; and the tickets ought to be raised to adollar. The fact is, that we have no church music in this country or Europe, that does not emanate from the Catholic church. And what adds to the excitement on this occasion, is the fact that this is the first sacred music which Rossini has written. It is a great sacred Catholic song, or hymn, divided into ten parts; the charac ter of the music being different in each part, giving full scope to the powers of this great master. The pathos, the bursts of sublimity, the plaintiveness, and the solemn grandeur of the music, cannot be described; it must be heard to be appreciated. It partakes of the character of the opera, itself derived from the Greek tragedy; and that in turn, like the poetry and music of the Hebrew school, was de- rived from the Egyptians. So that this most beau- tiful compesition actually carries us back to the earliest period of sacred history. Tur Counter Movement.—Caleb Cushing, at Newburyport, has been backing up most powerfully the movement made by Daniel Webster against the vltra whigs and Mr. Clay. All the eastern papers are full of his speech. It was two hours long, and went the whole for Capt. Tyler, vetoes and all.— This popular movement against Clay, now begun in Whig Young Men’s Convention, indicates that the thorough and powerful spirit of Fourierism has ta- ken possession of a large portion of the young whigs of this great State; and that this mew and cular element has been introduced into the whig party to give them a high spirit of intellectuality, hope, independence of thought and action, freedom from restraint, new morality, and pure philosophy. For nearly a year past a very remarkable and extraordinary genius, named Albert Brisbane, (who travelled through France for some years, and studied Fourierism and the philosophy of the new French Social System) has been exceedingly busy in the columns of the “Tribune,” in inculcating these principles into the minds of the whig young men of this State, and in calling their earnest attention and supportto the Fourier doctrines. These principles thusstrenuously urged from day to day through the “Tribune,” have so completely fastened and seized on the whigs throughout the State, that they have at last particularly manifested themselves in the ad- dress and other matters, emanating from the recent Whig Young Men’s Convention at Auburn. The genera! features of this new system of so- ciety, seem to be shared somewhat after the form of the United States Bank, or any other great bank or trust corporation. Instead of the obsolete sys- tem of towns, villages, hamlets, and the well known arrangements of great farm houses, the whole face of the country isto be transformed into large manu- facturing shops, mighty kitchens, and splendid halls lancing, lectures, eating, and debating, All | misery is to disappear, and unalloyed hap- 5 to pervade the country in the east and west, and north and south. The whole land isto be cut up Into joint-stock farms of tremendous magni- tude, managed by philosophers and directors. All this seems most imposing; and we are not sur- prised thet such fascinating appearances should have made so deep an impression upon the minds of the young whigsof this State. Bat there is one thing, however, wanting in their new sysiem of philosophy and Society. They have—they are to have no church tno clergymen ! no church service! no ap- pointed time for divine worship of any kind! no form of religion at all! But all is to be called phi losophy and good pudding, pure science, and tender roast beef! The force of this singular and powerful move. ment will be prodigious at the next election, and what is more, the young whigs, by the aid of the Tribune, have all the merit of bringing this new system of philosophy into the code of the rank and file of theirparty. By this means, Albert Brisbane, Horace Greeley, andthe New York Tribune, may eventaally succeed in their philosophic design of revolutionizing the Stace of New York, and elect- ing Mr. Bradish, atonce and the sametime. Great movement this. phy ~ Pope, who shot one of the editors of the lle Journal,” has been held to bail in the «um of $10,000, the east, will produce terrible work, as it dashes over the country. In the coonskin campaign of 1840, Mr. Webster’s great speeches at Saratoga, Patchogue, Wall street, and Richmond, “ under the October sun,” revolutionised the country. He has begun another campaign, and where is he to stop? Croton Ceurnration.—This affair which isto take place next Friday, will be the most splendid ever got up in this country on any occasion. There will probably be from 300,000 to half a million of persons present in the procession, and as spectators. The population of this city and Brooklyn is nearly 450,000, and there will be at least 50,000 from other places adjacent. Talk of the great Mass Convention at Dayton! Why it was nothing to be compared to this. We shall give a splendid description of the entire celebration, and we are preparing an ode and a history that will throw General George P. Mor- ris’s ode and Charles King’s history completely into the shade. Our account will also be embellished with several most beautiful engravings of the aque- duct, at various points, sections, bridges, &c. &e.; and form in itself the most graphic and complete history of the whole matter that will be published any where. TRAVELLING From New Yore ro New Onueans. —Tue Expenss.—A correspondent writes us a re- quest that as all Southerners read the “ Herald,” we would give the exact prices of travelling between New York city and New Orleans, Upon inquiry, we find the prices to be nearly, or precisely as tol- lows: at any rate the whole expenses range under $60, for the mere travelling on railroad, stage, or steamboat. New York to Baltimore. Baltimore to Charleston Charleston to Augusta. Angusta to Madison. Madison to Franklin, Franklin to Mon’ + Montgomery to Mobile Mobile to New Orleans. This isa most expeditious route; being done insix or seven days. At Montgomery we find there is no delay, as boats are always in waiting to take pas- sengers on to Mobile the instant the stages arrive.— ve learn, also, that it is likely the fare will be still lower. Fine Arrs.—We are pleased that our citizens evince so much love for works of art as to flock so oumerously to the free exhibition of beautiful pic- tures, at the National Academy Gallery, corner of Broadway and Leonard street. There has not been in our recollection « more valuable collection offered atauction. The sale takes place on Wednesday evening, 12th instant, at a quarter betore seven o'clock. Every admirer of these objects of tasteand | refinement should embrace the present opportunity vy attend. Ia the eveai ngs the gallery is brilliantly \ lighted up, Tueataicats.—Mr. George Vandenhoff has left for Philadelphia, where he is to play an engagement. isstyle is chaste, but is too tame to create sensa ion; and he lacks the genius which is necessary to constitute a great and popular actor. Mr. and Mrs. Brougham have played every night this last week to very respectable houses. She is the best actress in genteel comedy now in this coun- try, and the most lady-like in her style; withal she is the handsomest woman on the stage. She must become a great favorite. Brougham is very like Power in personal appearance, and is a capital ac- tor. His Sir Lucius O’Trigger was superior to Power’s, but in farces he falls behind that inimita- ble performer; nevertheless he has a rich brogue, and a thorough knowledge of stage business. The part of Dazzle, in ** London Assurance,” was writ- ten by him, and he makes an Irishman of it, and plays it admirably. Mr. and Mrs. Seguin are engaged at the Park; and openon the 24th in Moses in Egypt. We have not heard who are engaged to support them; but these is plenty of musical talent now in the city to form a most excellent operatic corps. Cgvesre at ru Bowery.—Thisinimitable actress takes her last benefit to-night at the Bowery, and brings out one of the most splendid pieces ever got upin the country. She will continue here during the week. On Monday next she opens at the Ches- nut street, Philadelphia, where she plays only a week. She then goes to Boston, and returns to London by the middle of next month. Her return to Europe is hastened in consequence of the conduc: of her late husband’s relatives to her, and the extra- ordinary behavior of her young daughter to a mother. Mosicat Inreiticence.—Coneerts seem to be all the rage now, not only in this city and country, but threugh the whole province of Canada. Braham, his son, Charles, Signor Nagel, Signor Nourritt, Madame de Goni, Mons. Knoop, and Mrs. Gibbs, have all been engaged giving brilliant concerts from Malden down to Quebec; and all with great suc- cess, particularly the first named individuals. The latter end of last week they were all congregated in Kingston, where Nagel gave a concert under the patronage of Lady Bagot on Thursday, and Braham under that of Sir Charles and his lady, on Saturday night, both of which were crowded. Orvicx or U. 8. Marsuat.—We understand that James Kelly is to be appointed to the office of U. S Marshal, which will be vacated by the windfall lately fallen to Silas M. Stilwell in Paris. Major Noah has given his influence to Mr. Kelly, and the thing is considered settled. Captain Tyler has only to ratify and record the thing. The vote has been taken in Military Hall, and decided in favor of Mr. Kelly. Nipro’s.—Signor Ribas’ Concert went off with great eclat on Saturday evening. To-night, the magnificent pantomime of the Night Owl re sumes its run, together with the Four Lovers and Francois Ravel’s astonishing contortions. Gabriel has one of those comic parts in the latter panto- mime that he has made peculiarly his own—and the talent of the whole family is brought out in an emi- nent degree during the evening. Cuatnam Turatre.—The success of the Chat- ham, as every body knows, is attributable to the en- terprise and untiring zeal of the manager, the supe- rior order of talent engaged, the variety and gran- deur of the entertainments, and the low price of ad- mission, which puts it within the power ef all who wish, to witness the best dramatic productions. To- night the best bill of the season is offered. John Smith’ and Master Coleman are inimitable, Mr. Lennox is a clever actor, and Mr. Mossop has no rival. Amenican Musxum.—Every body knows or oughtto know the original droll and comic Dr. Valentine. His humorous delineations at Niblo’s a few years since, set the whole fashionable world into one universal burst of laughter and meriment, He is engaged at the American Muzeum for one week only, and will open a new budget of his comicalities. Mr. Nellis, born without arms, will perform another week; also Signor Vivaldi’s mechanical figures, and other valuable attractions. We were wrong yesterday in attributing the article concerning “ shilling shows” to any person in the American Museum. The manoger with his large and fashionable audiences, has enough to do without caring for “shilling shows.” The article alluded to, spoke of the black eyes, bare feet, sa- vory smells, &c., generally found at any show where all are admitted who can raise a shilling, and from the de- scription thus given, Peale’s concern claims the coat as “a good fit,” and is determined to wear it The sensitiveness of the ‘shilling sane: shows that the article hit him hard. “Let the galled jaie wince.” (iG The Manager of the New York Museum evinces a determination not to be surpassed in the capacity of ca- terer for the public. He this week presents them with the celebrated Signer Blitz; whose fame is spread over the universe. Who has not heard of Blitz, the magician? Who has seen Blitz the ventriloquist? Who does not know Blitz the plate dancer, and the only one in exis- tence who can accomplish that difficult feat. It is worth a dollar to behold Jenkins, the prince of comic chaps, whose delineations are unrivalled, and whose songs can- not be surpassed, appears. Delarue, in his imitations of Forrest, Hamblin, &e. Rovalie will warble her sweet songs. “Admission to the whole Museum, entertainments, picture gallery, &¢., one shilling, City Intelligence. A Sunvar Moantxo’s, Henatp wort $10,000.—On the night of the 6th of September last, the store of Messrs. J. Phillips & Co., of 141 Washir.gton street, Boston, was en- tered by burglars, and valuable and costly laces, and other expensive goods, valued at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars, stolen. Every exertion has since been made by the Boston police for the recovery of these Goods, and the detection of the robbers, and on Saturday afternoon officers Relyes and Colvin, of this city, ascertained their where- abouts, and recovered the wholeamount. The Herald of Sunday morning eontained an exclusive account of the re- covery, which Mc. Phillips, who happened to be in this city, read, and immediately wentto the Police and identi- fied the goods by the private store marks upon them. He had given up all hopes of their reoovery, and but for the notice in the Herald would have left the city witheut knowledge of the success of our officers. Messrs. Relyea and Colvin obtained information on Friday that excited their suspicions, andthe rogues having an inkling of doubt ‘as to their safety, removed the trunks containing the goods three times during the day. By the most indefatigable ex- ertions the o‘ficers kept the trail, although difterent cart- men were engaged each time, and finally succee led in finding the goods, but not the burglars. They were teo cunning to be trapped, but cannot escape long. Let mer- chants and others thus see the value ofa daily Herald. Axorner Man Kitteo iw a Frowt.—On Saturda: eve ning James Goodwin and Hugh Crossie entered the Butch porter house, No. 47 Ninth Avenue, below 16th street, and sat down to play bpendd dominoes, when a you: man named George Conkwright, looked over their shoul. ders, and a bystander named ‘Thomas Humphries, inti- mated that such an interference with the e was im- proper.

Tas Present at Home.—President Tyler re- turned to Washington on Friday last, in fine health and renovated spirits. Goto work now, Captain, and do the business upsmartly. Tue Vatur or a Sunpay Morntnc Heraup.—A wealthy firm in Boston, recovered $10,000 worth of valuable goods through an article published exclu- sively in Sunday morning’s Herald, under the Police head. See city intelligence for particulars. Arrivats.—Gales and Seaton, of the National In- telligencer, are at the Astor House, trying to find out and define their position—also to discover where they are going. A great many politicians are in a like predicament. Sream versus Sats.—We are somewhat surprised to find so great a falling off in passengers on the Eu- Topean steam packets. The British Queen sailed on Friday for Portsmouth and the continent with eleven passengers, the Duchesse of Orleans sailed next day for Havre with twenty; the Duchesse, how- ever, is one of our splendid crack packets. We will now venture to record our opinion that our su- perior sailing packets must ultimately bear off the palm. Generat Scorr, at the last accounts, was in Ohio, shooting coons, it is said. After the election, we will know the number he has killed, what kind of sport he has had, and whether he or Black Dan is the best shot. {cg Over three thousand members of the Fire Department will turn out in the great Croton cele- bration next Friday. The Fire Department has ne- ver been seenjto such an advantage as it will be on this occasion. Grares.—The most delicious grapes sent to this city are from the estate of Dr. Underhill, at Croton Point. A fine assortment of his rich Isabella grapes is now forsale by A. G. Crasto, 2 Barclay street. Try them. Free Water —It’s surprisingly strange that when an individual is elected to office he generally pur- sues the course of his own inclination, instead ot consulting the wishes of his constituents, as in the cane of the Croton Aqueduct Committee respecting thewater. By the law of 1884, approved by the electors of this city, Commissioners were appointed to bring the Croton water into the city—that done their la- bors ceased. amount expe; was to be raised by tax on the real and personal estate in the city. Ibelieve it always was intended by a majority of the people that the water should be free; iad depend upon it that question will be mooted at the next charter election, & majority elected in favor of making the water free without reference to party. It really appears the Committee act without re- fere te costs ; the great Kopel i officers be tax gatherers, recently appointed, will consume al the (ebuseds caived, the few that will use it at present exorbitant prices. ‘Why not consult the wishes of the People?

JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Prorateton or THE Heratp Estaa.isnment, North-west corner of Nassau and Fulton street. New Yorx, 8th Oct. 1842. MONEY MARKET. Sunday, October ¥—6 P. M, Whena flagrant act of injustice to an individual, as that in the case of Boorman, Johnston & Co. is porpetra. ted by people of some consideration in a community, and under color of the sanction of the law, it is natural to sup- pose, that the example would not be without its influence; that the contagion would spread, and that unprincipled mon would eagerly seize upon the event tofurther their own tortuous schemes. We have been looking for some ‘such results in the transactions of the day, when general misfortune and the stagnation of business, spread a strong temptation in the path of the unscrupulous, W sorry to say that we have not been disappointed. Wo have heard of many cases of persons of wealth, and heretofore of some consideration, who have made no other answer toa just claim for the fulfilment of acon- tract, than a cool, barefaced, and supercilious reference to the opinion of Daniel Lord, Esq. as their ultimatum; and this on the part of some, who have for years gambled successfully in stocks, We have now public repudiation on the part of States for law quibbles, and we have private repudiation on the part of merchants, bank presidents, and lawyers, on stock contracts, for law quibbles. How long before thie spirit will extend itself from stock contracts to bargains in merchandize? The Bostonians scent to bein a great ferment, because 4 little shinplaster concern called the Phonix Bank, has exploded. Bank after bank, and company after company, may go down in New York, destroying $10,000,000 or $15,000,000 in a year, and it is regarded with perfect non chalance. When it is discovered, however, that one or two firms in the neighborhood of Boston, have absorbed the " facilities” of the Phoonix Bank, capital $300,000, the consternation is immense, as if that was not the legiti- mate end of all paper concerns. The condition of the concern is stated as follows :— | Pransrx Baw oy Cnaaurstown, | Respcibabns gaye gaia moc o is, | ills in cireu'n about | ES instalments to the Comptroller, on account of fund in the | bills of the broken banks, until afer the 12th instant, | after which time that privilege ceases. ‘The only demand which has existed for the broken bills, has been for this purpose, and the rates are now as follows :— Commercial, Buffalo ti perc, Hye, meant Commercial,Oswego 23. atervliet, % | Clinton County, a“ | When this demand shall have ceased, the probability is, room, | that discount will greatly increase. The greatest evil which now hangsover the people of the United States, is undoubtedly mercantile discredit and finangial dishonor. The origin of these evils is, un! doubtedly, the paper or credit system, by which States, corporations, and individuals, contracted greater debts, than by any possibility they could pay. The bankrupt Jaw came to the relief of individuals, and released them from the trap, into which they were allured by the temp- tations of paper money. The States being sovereign and independent, could have no relief but in repudiation, which has been resorted to by some States, under the ex- citement and tone given to popular opinion by the efforts to passthe benkrupt law. This has nearly ruined the American character for honesty, as is evident in the fact, that the credit of the federal government is destroyed abroad. That government never dishonored its liabili- ties; but foreign capitalists cannot understand why, when individuals and communities are separately. dishon- est, that they should be collectively trustworthy. They may be collectively able to pay a debt, which separately they cannot meet ; but if the will is wanting in one case, it may be inferred in theother. Moreover, the tederal government has itself not acted consistently. The revolu- tion of 1840, wasefleeted partly by charging against the former administration, that its expenses had exceeded its revenue ; and yet, that administration, after twelve years power, left a debt of $4,500,000 only. The new adminis- tration has, in the face of their avowed’ principles, in. creased that debt in eighteen months to $31,000,000. Such ‘a movement is not caloulated to restore confidence. Further, with a deficlent revenue, they passed a law giving away part of that revenue, and diminished the remainder by passing a protective tariff, thereby violating the implied pledge contained in the compromise act. ‘The Treasury now is in a deplora™le cendition, with ade ficient revenue, with an existing debt of $31,000,000, with- out the ability to borrow a dollar, and no means to carry onthe government in future, but by borrowing. It is very plain, thet with this accumulation of discvedit, the country cannot long hang together. Its credit must be retrieved, and its debts paid. It is proposed for the federal government to assume the debts of the States. Why the government cannot take care of its own debt, and has not the ability to make that debt any larger. Ifthe government cannot borrow $6,000,000 when it owes but $31,000,000, how much can it command when it assumes the payment of $200,000,000, for which it never gotjany equivalent? Whatthen isto be done? The an- swer is plain. The insolvent States ewe debts which they say they cannot pay. Very well, how much can they pay? Iinois owes, say $16,000,000, bearing a interest of $960,000 or6 percent. Ifshecannot pay 6 per cent, can she pay 3 percent, 2 percent, or 1 per cént? Whatever she can pay, pay at once; show some disposition to pay; let thenext legislature, which meets in December, reselve that the debts shall be paid some time or other, and let a present payment, if it is ever so small, be made as an earnest of good intention. The whole difficulty will then be settled. The damning-curse of an indisposition to pay will be re- moved, and credit will be restored in all its branches. For who thet looks at th- hardy, industrious and intelligent population of the great west can doubt their ability to pay in time? This determination to pay must also be accompa- nied with a firm resolve not to borrow any more. In Illi- nois some funds, say $1,500,000, are necessary to finish the Mlinow and Michigan canal. This being for a usetul pur- Pose, and to assist in paying the old debt, cau be got. Illi- nois was one of the first States to repudiate. A reforma- tion commenced there, and the whole face of things is changed. We doubt not but under its new rulers, Illinois willtake somesteps ofthe kind. It may now be the more readily done, that the people are relieved from the burden ofbank paper. The two banks ofthat State hada capital of $5,428,185, which in former years yielded their proprie- tors in Wall street and elsewhere, an average of 7 per cent, meking an anoual tax upon Illinois of $379,621, paid for the privilege of taking bank promises instead of gold for their wheat. This sum appropriated to purposes of common honesty, will pay half the interest on their debt. Michigan is another State which has been swindled by the paper system, and has intelligence enough to discover that the remedy is not in the same systom. The State deht ef that State is as follows :— Srarement or Ds IssurD BY THE State oF Micur- Gan and. THE YeaRty Amount or Inrenzst Pavanir oN THE Same.

We believe about $2,000,- 000 thn State never got anything for. Of this stock $3,- 850,000 are pledged for the debt of the United States Bank in London, A law of the State legislature at its last session, provided for a settlement, by which the bonds, for which nothing had been received, should be returned and cancelled. This would probably have been done but for want of poweron the part ofthe trustees of the U. States Bank, to release the bonds in Europe. This will reduce the debt to such an amount as the State has received an equivalent for,and provision will moat undoubtedly be made for their full payment. The State being nearly without banks, is released from the tax for the support of paper money, and its ability to just debts is by so much increased. Its credit has greatly suffered by the lawless ani ridiculous issues of State scrip to circulate as money, to the extent of $250, which is now the severest burden upon the people of that State. In regard to the State of Ohio, we recently made some statements. The means of that State are equal to its lia. bilities. Its misfortune hes been, that it fell into the hands of stockjobbers and paper mongers. When a State places its affairs in the handsof a broker, it not only gives itself upto plunder, but lends itself as a stockjobbing instrument toruin other property. The idea of a sovereign and inde- pendent State putting its fiscal affairs in'o the hands of a paltry broker’s house, which lives by its commissions, is absurd in the extreme; almost every State in the Union has experienced the evils of such a cou'se, and none move so than Illinois and Ohio. We noticed yesterday large ‘sales of the latter stock at the board of brokers, say tothe extent of $70,000, of which $50,000 were sold without re- serve. It was said on account of the late Marquis of Hert- ford, whose estate is in pr:cess ofsettlement. These stocks were evidently recklessly sold, and in the present state of the market were calculated to produce a great effect upon theprices. A similar movement in New Yoik stocks would make a difference of several per cent; as it was, the Ohio fell } per centonly. A broker having # peremptory sale of this kind tomake, may further his own views by
