You have already been advised that the difficulties and barrassmontx under which this Bank has long been struggling, compelled the Directors, in the course of the year 1841, to create, under legal ‘advisement, several trusts, to which the greater part of the effects of the Bank were duly assigned. This was done, mainly with the view of preventing the property of the Bank from being wasted and sacriticed at forced sales under executions, for the benefit of afew, and to the serious injury and loss of more lenient and confiding creditors; and also for the pur- pose, andin the hope of securing, by the judicious manage- ment of the effects assigned, the payment, ultimately, of ties of the institution. Painful as theadoption of these measures were to the Directors, it was some satisfaction to them to find, that they were approved of by the Stockholders at a special bited yesterday, ception of Hon. the American Statesman. morning vast crowds of ing their way towards him at Carrollton, and to conve: and a general animation among t! cd, though tainuy, the enthusiasm which was to en- de put on and off ia der it too much of a tax on the some handsome carpets veing spoiled on New Years?

Discharged from our State Prisons, with characters deeply tainted, and consequently with a loss of that Bride of character which constitutes #0 strong a safe- guard against the commission of crime, avoided by those whose favorable opinion we most desire, and left destitute of all pecuniary resources, is it a source of surprise that they again resort to crime, and receive with almost cold indifference the renewed sentence ot thelaw. During my brief official life, appeals of a most interesting character have been made to me by this class of unfortunates, who have deeply felt their degradation, and expressed the most determined resolution to pursue an honorable course of life, could they but be again received into society, and en- couraged in their lawful pursuits. It is known to the Grand Inquest that a surplus fund over and above the ne- cessary expenditure for the support of our prisons, accu- mulates annually ; and bow great reform might be pro- duced by applying that fund in proper amounts ot even $25 or $0 to the aid of those convicts whose conduct has been meritorious during their confinement, and where the commissions believe it could be beneficially applied—such a system would good and orderly t while in prison, ond would afford a small capital upon which their future usefulness and entire reclamation from crime might be predicted. | have ventured to throw out these crude sugge you at this tim ou are convened by law to examine into the extent and char. acter of crime within this country, and any views which you may think proper to ‘communicate in rela- tion to this important subject of suppressing and preventing crime, would be, [ doubt not, most respectfully regarded by the public authorities. ‘The Court are required to call your attention to any viola- tion of the laws relating to the erection of wooden build- ings below 14th street; the law prohibiting the sale of lot- tery tickets; the Jaw constituting the taking of usury a misdemeanor, and the law enacted to preserve the purity of elections.

[Correspondence of the Herald.) Bacrrore, January Ist, 1843. James Gorpon Bennett, Esq. :— Dear Sir, The old year has departed, and the new one com- menced most auspiciously. { had the pleasure of witnessing the departure of the old gentleman last night at twelve o’clock, and about five minutes prior to that time, drank his health in a parting glass. A great numberof our young blades made a night of it, in commemoration of the departure of the old, and the beginning ot the new year. Ourreli- gious citizens not to be behind in welcoming ’43, held watch meetings in their respective meeting houses, and watched the old year out and prayed the new year in. ‘ There has been considerable excitement here for the last two or three days, caused by the elopement of a young lady of Harford county, with a Dutch- man named Hack, who speaks Englis’ very im fectly ; however, he made the yours lady unde: stand sufficient to convince her that the mate happi- ness on this earth is to be experienced in the married state, and that the pleasure of living with a man who it is difficult to converse with, is far better than living under her father’s roof, surrounded with every comfort she could desire, But\the worst of the thing for Mr.Hadk, is that he not only carried off his future wife, but two of her papa’s negroes, for vhiok lic willium all probability be tried for kidnap- ping. The denouement of the plot was discovered and resulted in the following way:—On the arrival of the young lady in the city, she was seen by an ac quaintance, who immediately informed her father where his daughter was, and in all probability he would have a son-in-law if he did not take immediaie measures for the prevention of the marriage ; the fa- ther on his arrival in town, called to see the Hon. So- lomon Hiller, our efficient mayor, and stated to him the facts he was in possession of, and requested his in- terference and assistance in the recovery of hisdaugh- ter. The Mayor with that promptness and decision that usually characterizes him, caused immediate search to be made in that portion of the city mostly occupied by the Dutch, and after a diligent search, the fair one was found in the garret of a three story house on Fells Point, in duresse. She was imme- diately liberated and started for home with her father. The gay deceiver was found in the parlor enjoying himself. with the astistance of his pipe and tobacco with quite the demme eye air, and was probably re- volving in his mind the profit that would accrue to him from the sale of the negroes. However, his meditations were disturbed by the entrance of the officers with a warrant, who toox him before ama- gistrate to answer the charge of spiriting away the two darkeys, and was released on bail of $500 to answer the foregoing charge at the city court. So stands at the case at present. It is astonishing what risks these lovely and charming young creatures willrun to be taken into a profitable concern as a sleeping partner. The Washington Temperance Society held a meeting in their Hall last evening, and were ad- dressed by Thomas F. Marshall, who is by far the best temperance speaker I ever heard. Mr. M. suc- ceeded in persuading quite a number to sign the pledge,and among them several young men, though pretty old topers. May they become from this night temperate men. _ The weather to day is moderate and clear. There is a strong turn out among the church going folks —well, its all very good in its way—nothing like going to church on the Sabbath, if it’s only to hear the music and see the pretty girls—there’s divinity in both— only there aint.” Ariel has been in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington As New Year's eve is generally a time for fun and jolification, we despatched our tricky spirit to the above named places. with instructions to enter all places of amusement, fun and gaiety, and bring back a proper report of every thing he saw and heard worthy of notice. Here is his report : On Saturday evening at six o’clock, I left the fort of the virtuou am, the Grand Inqu ce of every n within the body of this county, from the highest grade downto the most inferior violation of law, I trust that the few remarks that I propose to sub- mit to you will not be dcemed inappropriate.— It is aremark notunfrequently made, of late, and that too from high quarters, that crime is greatly on the in- crease in this city, and that itis attributable to the inefli- ciency or culpable negligence of your Police Depart- ment, in the detention of offenders, or the lax administrs tion of the criminal laws of the § As to the first ion, that crime is greatly on the increase in this ci tatistics which we possess do not at all justify or sus- tain the correctness of the remark. By a recent report made to the Common Council by our indefatigable District Attorney, James R. Whiting, Eeq., it appears that the whole number of complaints made during the year 1830, was 2032 ‘That the number for the year 1835, was 3790 Do Forthe year 1840, was 2651 Do For the year 1841, was 2112 And for the year 1942, was 1908 Showing an increase to the year 1935, since which year there has been a rapid and lerge diminution of the number of complaints,and consequently of crime in this county. So, in relation to convictions in this city the same satisfactory result appears, as is shown in the same report, the convic tions in 1880 being in the ratio of one to every 321 inhabi- tants, wh: 1940 the ratio was as one to 345, In 1835, the Recognizances to answer were 3580 In 1836, do do 3790 Since which time there hus been an annual diminution in their number, and 1840 exhibits but 2753, andthe year 1841, the stilldimished number of 2179, and for the year 1842 the whole numter of recognizances returned was 814. How flattering, then, is this exhibition of the rela- tive di hi mdition of crime in this city, compared with the reverse in England and France during a corres- ponding period of time. By the Report made to the British Parliament, by order of the Secretary of the Home Department, I find that in 1834, the ‘pro- portion of commitments to the population in Eng- land, (including their agricultural districts which bear a small proportion to the offenders in their large ci ties) was as 1 to 619, while in 1841 the proportion of com. mitments to the censusof that year, had increased to 1 in 573, and a greater increase existed in twenty-one counties. ‘The increase in their population forthe last 10 years, has been in the ratio of 144-10th per cent, while the iner ofcrime has beenin the ratio of 23 6-10th per cent. Asimilar result appears by the Report made by the Mi ister of Justice in France to the King, showing an increa: in crim his dominions in full proportion to the increas of population from the year 1835 to May, 1842. While I have, therefore, shown that the number of com. plaints made during the yeor 1342 were considerably less than for any of the preceding five xe rs, the number of trials in both the General and Special Sessions, have been greater. The greatest number of trials in both the Gen- eral and Special Sessions, for any one year, from 1830 to 1841, inclusive, was 1472; the number of trials in those courts for the past year, (1842,) was 1702, exhibiting an excess of trials in those courts beyond any previous year, Repudiation, &e.

On commencing the perform- ance, attention was for the time drawn from me, on which I thought I would change my semblance and render myself invisible; after the song wasfinish- ed several ladies turned their eyes to the spot where [ had been standing and not seeing me there or near the spot, inquired of themselves where they thought Thad gone. Putting my mouth in proximity with the ear of one of the fair ones, I whispered to her, “the has gone to get something to drink;” the lady looking round and not seeing who had spoke to her, iboked: a little confused. J next proceeded to the orchestra, and standing on the shoulder of Mrs. Se- guin, told her notto sing “To ludia,” “Una voce,” or any of the Italian bravnras that Caradori had sung in the same room, as comparisons were odorous. She promised to act on my gentle hint. This concert was given by the Vigilant Library Association, and among the audience I recognized several of its members, and determined to have a little fan with some of them. Alighting on the ear of one of them, I observed, ‘How are you Charley?” He looked round to the right from whence the sound proceeded, but saw nothing. I then attacked him on the leftand asked him how the swamp ro- bins came. Charley G — looked staggered, so I left him and spoke to To Z——, and asked him how Wm D — wasgetting; I thenspoke to twenty in half a minute, confused them all, and left the room and paid Welch, of the Olympic Circus, a visit.— Welch was in his private room taking wine with some of his friends.

Charlotte Cushman,of the Walnut street Theatre. next came in for a share of my attention. Talighted on her chin, and gave her a kiss. Charlotte thought a mosquito had bitten her, and exclaimed, O, m eyes, what a smasher! Well, Charlotte, said I, but to endeavor to correct some misrepresentations which, if credited, would tend greatly to diminish the efliciencyand usefulness of this important branch of your city govern- ment. In looking with some core into the very full reports made to the English and French Governments for the last ten years, of the extent of crime, and of the causes an preventives to its commission, Ihave been forcibly im- pressed with the belief that two great causes operate more strongly than any other to the prevention of crime, the one of which is the certainty of detection and con’ tion of the offender, and the other is the improvement in the moral and intellectual condition of our citizens. Upon the first branch of causes, and in illustration of my views, I remark that the effect of recent enactments in England abolishing capital punishments as applicable to various of- fences, and substituting ptnishments of less severity, has produced the most salutary effect in producing convic- tions; for the minds of a jury revolt, and unwillingly convict in cases where their verdict is to be visited by a sentence disproportioned to the offence charged. The magnitude of the recent changes in the criminal laws of England will be strongly exemplified (says the report to which I have before referred), when it ix stated that had the offences tried in 1841 been tried under the laws ot 1831, the eighty capital sentences which were pened last year would have been increased to 2,172; and in the single case of rape, in reference to the change made in itspunishment, that in the three years, 1835, 6 and 7, when it was punished with desth, the numbers convicted were 19, acquitted 165, or littie more than one conviction to nine 9,40 and “41, during which the law had ceased to make it @ capital offence, the numbers convicted amounted to 61, acquitted 160 ; and the propor- tion was raised to L conviction to 2 and 4-10th acquittals ; andthe same effect was discovered in cases, where the severity of the punishment was greatly ameliorated. And the result (ayes Secretary of State) has shown, that during the last year in the majority of the offences tor which capital punishments have been repealed, there was adecrease in the offences amounting t ebout 46-10th per Indeed, | might refer to experience in our own how many have escaped punish- ity of a jury has protected the of fender, believing that the punishment consequent upon their finding was disproportionate to the offence, or where donbts, which existed in cases, would have been dissipated, had the punishment for the alleged offences upon conviction been less severe. This certainty of convic- tion and punishment then, is a strong preventive to crime. onstruction, | sapoose she woul uit winds) oaderl than ight. do not belveve that any that Tyeyd could cateh her fo a trial with the sharp iyyerume U. ig Washington, Caotain Gedney, the On-ka-hy-e, witl A vallant breete, beat her four hours Sueotten, Tt wanted asa Yacht, she would be well adapted ed with a rich stu! or dtoner table correspond.
