Porery—ProresrantisM—CunIsTiANITY.—Bigot- ed and intolerant as is the religious world, even in these latter days of light and liberty, there is a grow- ing increase in the number of calm, impartial, and reasonable theological writers. There are some pure and enlightened spirits, who furnish some anti- dote to the poison of violent and blinded polemical Brownlees and Cheevers do not make disputants. up the whole body of our Protestant clergy; and the fanatics of Champlain are by no means a fair speci- men of the Roman Catholic priesthood. The last number of the London Quarterly Review contains a long and remarkably able article by a distinguished Protestant writer, whieh presents in striking con- trast the calm, just and philosophical view of the orizin, character, influence and tendencies of Po- pery, which an unprejadiced and disinterested mind can take, and that which presents itself to the be- wildered vision of the furious and bigoted secta- rian. The great error which has characterized the long warfare of Protestants against Popery, has been the assumption by the former that the latter is the Antichrist of the Scriptures—the ‘Man of Sin,” and “Church of the Seven Hills,” against which such terrible denunciacions have beenuttered by the prophetic writers of the Old and New Testament. The writer in the London Quarterly, demonstrates the utter falsity of this position, and by a great ac- cumulation of arguments, establishes the truth, which we have ever maintained, that Popery is bata remarkable and singularly efficient amalga- mation of the principles of the Christian faith, with worldly policy and temporal authority. Let us give the writer’s views on this point, in his own precise and forcible langage :—‘* What, then, is the essen- tially evil principle which constitutes Popery, as dis- tinct fromtha Catholic spirit (Christianity) which it held, as it were in solution, and by which it has been preserved from utter destruction? Jt is the principle of centralization and wnit the Church, carried to a height far beyond the timits affixed by its great Founder, and gathering the whole of Christen- dom rawnd one local and visible point, for the purpose of gwing to its movements the greater energy, per- manence and power ; in other words, it is the crea- tion ot one occumenical bishop, to supplant the col- lege of bishops, and for the purpose of spreading and uphelding a spiritual empire upon earth.” This expresses, with great conciseness and truth, the true nature and character of what Popery iias been. Popery is, however, undergoing marked and rapid change, especially in this country. The au- thority of the Papal See is becoming weaker and weaker. That great cohesive and maintaining principle has lost its former sway and all-pervading influence. Ro:nan Catholicism, as respects its mode ef propagation and extension, has become more assimilated to Protestant Episcopacy, Metho- dism, and .Presbyterianism. As{to the fears res- pecting the rapid progress of Popery to universal supremacy, expressed vy the Brownlees and Chee- vers, who are constantly fanning the embers of dis- cord, and casting around, on all sides, ‘ firebrands, arrows, and death,” they can only excite pity and contempt in the minds of all who take the trouble of studying the present aspect of the times, There is a more dangerous enemy than Popery at the gates. Religion and morality, and the best interests of society, are threatened with a more dis- astrous tempest (han the thunders of the Vatican. A carefully disguised infidelity, under the mask of superior intellect and refinement, is busily at work, sapping the very foundations of christianity, by in- spiring distrust of the authenticity of the Bible, and the supremacy of human intelligence and wisdom. This wears something of the features of that anti- christ which has been predicted to spread moral desolation in the latter day. Tue Grverat Navat Court Martian, to which we alluded yesterday, will corvene on board the North Carolina on Wednesday next, the first of February. The Court will be composed of the fol- lowing members: — President—Commodore Downes. Commodore Read. Captains W. Compton Bolton. Dan. Turner. Charles W. Skinner. Jsaac McKeaver. John H. Aulick. Bladen Dulany. John Gwynn, and ‘Thomas W. Wyman. Commanders Henry W. Ogden. Irvine Shubrick, and William W. McKean. Judge Advocate—Samuel Rush, of Philadelphia. Commander McKenzie, who received yesterday the order for his arrest, will be tried upon three charges—the first murder, the second cruelty and oppression. What the third is, we have not heard. TueatricaL Revivau.—An astonishing revival in theatricals has taken place in this city. A few months since the theatres were deserted, now they are all crammed from the pit to the ceiling. What is the reason of this? It is perfectly evident. ihe prices have been lowered so as, in the elegant and accurate phraseology of the bills, “to meet the ex- igencies ‘of the times ” The middling classes are the only persons who can afford to pay for amuse- ments now-a-days. The upper classes, who former- ly monopolized these enjoyments, are now in a state of rotten bankruptcy, and can searcely pre- serve their souls and bodies from dissolution, but the middling classes, who conduct the business of lite on the cheap cash principle, can enjoy and amuse themselves. But they wili not pay much in this way, and the managers in reducing the prices from one dollar to twenty-five cents and half-a-dol- lar at farthest, present these classes of society with the proper facility of procuring cheap anmse- ment, of which they are now availing themselves to the fullest extent. Cuaruam Tieatre.—Thorne has indeed reduced his prices, but has exhibited a determination to place a loadstone athis doors. This we state from posi- tive knowledge on our part. We happened to call at the Chatham on some business, when we per- eeived that all was action and industry—eanvass, paint, &c. displayed jargely the preparations mak. ing to produce the grand pantomime called the “ Black Raven of the Tombs,” which will indeed surpase expectation. This pantomime is one of whose merits we need not say mach; the bills will more fully particularize. Brown, Davis, Mulligan and Oakie appear together in it— numerous tricks, beautiful transformations of scenery, &c. will tuke place. Thorne, we wish you had a larger theatre— there are enough to reward your untiring exertions, by filling it nightly; you are alwavs first to hit the right nail on the head. The drama of “ Crazy Jane,” will be performed with the above ; in both pieces the whole of this talented company will appear. New York Pitors.—These hard working, enter- prising men, have a petition before the Legislature, asking for justice. It ix to be hoped that it will be given to them. They have waited and suffered long enough, and now is the time for reward. Let them have their rights at once ‘Taaxxs—To Harnden and Adams, for Boston pa- pers, in advance of the mail. rey City Intelligence. Rosseo Howsecr. r. Charles Cunningham, of 613 Greenwich street, ared at the lower polige oitice yes- terday, and made the following statement :—That on the 23d instant, a man named James Crawford, who resides at 99 Greenwich lane, called upon him and stated tnat his brother, Adam Cunningham, of Middietown, Delaware county, in this State, had given him, while recently on a v sit to that place, the sum of $60 to deliver to Cunning- ham, on his arrival in thiscity. That whileon his route to this city, he was stopped near Stone Bridge, Ulster co, hy @ man who jumped inte the road,from behind atres,and presented @ pistol at his breast, demanding his money which from bodily fear he delivered, including the $60 placed in his charge. That the whole amount of money on his person, at thetime of the robbery, was $102. Pre- vious to making this statement, he formed Cunningham chat the money was taken from him at a house where he had lodged at the above named piace. The contradictory statements, with au injunction ofsecrecy that he wished to impose upon Cunningham, at the time of relating the supposed robbery, induced himto cause Crawford to be arrested by officer Baker, on a charge of embezzle- ment, on which he has been committed for further investigation. This fashion of robbing one’s seli has recently become quite common, but it is rare that a man is induced to commit such a peculiar felony for the small sum of $60, Tuk Snootina Casr.—Upon examination of witnesses yesterday it was ascertained that William Dyer, who was a hand on board the schooner Wm. B. Marsh, is the man who fired the gun on Thursday evening, whereby the four little children were shot. After firing it he asked Stephen Seabrook, one of the hands, if it was loaded, as he thought the wad had knocked one of the boysover. He said he thought the children were attempting to steal wood and he wished to frighten them away. He escaped the same evening, and is still at large. His residence is at Middletown Point, New Jersey. Tue Rave Case.—The woman Ellen Johnson, of No. 5 Pell street, whe alleges th pe was committed on her person at a slaughter h in that street on Thursday night, appeared yesterday at the lower police, and stated that on the evening in question, as she had issued from the fae at the corner of Pell and Doyer st 5 e had been to obtvin a glass of beer, she was seized br a ite man, and forced into the slaughter house, when another person, who appeared by the feeling of the hair of his head to be a negro, who was inside the house, threw heron the floor and attempted to violate her person, but was unsuccessful That she could not makea noise, as her mouth was filled with something by one of the two men, who said to the other, “ Give her hell if she don’t lie still,” and then kicked her in the side. Two young men or boys, one a negro named David Laver, and another a white boy called David Lent, were arrested on suspicion yesterday, and the woman recognized them as the two who attempted to violate her. They were committed for further investigation. On her examination, she stated previous to drinking the beer at the grocery, she had drank three glasses of brandy. She says she is a married woman, and that her husband is in Philadelp! The circumstances are hardly sufficient to justify the magis- trates in committing the boys for trial. New Yorx Leaistature—In Senate, Jan. 26 — Petitions were presented for and against the repeal of the Exemption Law. By Mr. Foster, relative to Common Schools in the city ot Brooklyn. Mr. Dicxtyson moved a call upon the Comptroller fora report of the amount of State debt, of all kinds, andthe average amount received for auction and salt duties for the last five years, &c., which was adopted. Several bills of local interest were considered in Committee of the Whole, and the bill to abolish the office of Inspector General of Sole Leather in the citv of New York, was passed.

The cominittee of the whole, Mr. Wright in the chair, passed the bill in relation to the Trustees of ue Seles Fund and Retreat in the city of New ork. The House, in committee of the whole, passed the bill for the amendment of the charter of the Bowery Insurance Co. The House, in committee of the whole, was en- gaged for a while with the bill to incorporate the Cayuga and Susquehannah Railroad Company, but without taking any question adjourned. Tue Next Sreamer.—No steamer will leave Eng- land till the 4th of next month—the Acadia starts then. On the 10th, the Great Western leaves. Af- ter that day we shall have steamships in abundance from England, France, and Belgium. Nortuern Express.— We are constantly indebted to Pomeroy & Co., and Pullen & Copp, tor Albany papers in advance of the mail. Pomeroy & Co. run up the river and over the Housatonic Railroad. Pul- len & Copp arrived here yesterday at half past 7 o’clock Faux in Prices.—tt is eaid that the butter dealers inthis city will lose a good deal of money, in conse- quence of the early opening of the Hudson. The stock was never before so large, and prices never so low. Other kinds of produce have been affected in the same way.

Kane vs. Robert Van Zandt.—In our report of this case on Friday we were er- roneously informed, and published, that the Sheriff refus- ed to yay over the money. He did not refuse to pay it over, but merely waited for the decision of the Judge of the Superior Court, and upon receiving acertifcate of the decision of the Judge, he immediately paid over the mc- ney+ U. 8. District Court. Before Judge Betts. Jan, 28.—In re James Bonnet, Jr. per Curiam.—Thia is a petition by a creditor for a decree of bankruptcy against the debtor. Objections to the decree are interposed, by a third person, a party in interest, which in effect are ade- murrer to the petitioner. ‘The points argued have accordingly been whether there is enough upon the face of the petition to entitle the credi- tor to a decree of bankruptcy én invitam against his debt- or. The Judge here proceeds to state the points of the cas at length, and then says—I have strong doubts whe ther the proceedings could be sustained without a direct allegation that the debtor was a trader at the time he com- mitted the acts of bankruptcy. On the other pointe, it ap pears to me the case is clear, that enough is not stated to subject the party to these compulsory proceedings, and { shall accordingly take the broad objection that upon the petition it does not appear that the party has committed any act of bankruptcy, Cireult Court, Before Judge Kent.

Ben Deak Sir, Thave read with much satisfaction your true and timely remarks, in your valuable paper ot Thursday, SnMROCOE the course pursued by the directors of, and the course of lectures delivering before, the members of the Mercantile Library Association. I have been for many years a member of the m- stitution, and have attended its lectures nearly every winter since they were established; have ever enter tained for it the most friendly feelings, and antici- vated for it and its lectures, a growing reputatio: ind usefulness ; but I must say,for the Inst few years tt has sadly fallen short of even previous attain ments. Their present course of lectures are decidedly insipid and unprofitable, Who after listening to an unmeaning and unintelligible flourish of flowery phrases, about ‘* Genius,” ‘Spirit of the Age,’ “Romance of the times,” (which [would define waa the tickling the fancy of an audience for fitty dollars an hour these “‘ wise men of the east,’ whose reputation have tar outran their worth, find: himeelf wiser or better! | The influence of the institution generally, I also think of late, has not been so beneficial as itought to have been. Isthe present class of merchants and clerks more remarkable for sobriety, integrity, useful intelligence, and business habits? I trow not. (fearthey are more desirous to make a figure iv the drawing than in the counting-room; more ambi tious of being “ Byrons” (as Boz very expressively terms them) than Barings—the study of bookkeeping 1s considered beneath the ** dignity of their nature,” ind the rules of etiquette wih them are more im- portant than the rules of business : Instead of having meetings for mutual improve- ment in debate, intercourse and consultation, they muat get up a niversdry festival, to cut a figure in the papers, and at which to their shame, with all their stores of knowledge, they have not available minds sufficient to respond to the sentiment, “ The Merchants of New York,” but rely upon an editor todo it. Shame! i Formerly,at their annual meetings, we were wont to see assembled our old and valued merchants, and their countenance and advice was listened to and respected ; but now we have a {gathering of pug- nacious youths, who epont and electioneer withall the air and gusto of a hack politician, so that their polished cornerstone, the worthy President of the Clinton Hall Association, can hardly restrain their impetuosity, much less sharpen their wit. But it’s the “ spirit of the age.”” i : T hope the present board of directors will not be -low in learning a lesson from the “ expres-ion of the spirit” of its members, (as I understand they will gain a lossof several hundred dollars by their present course of lectures) and instead of sending to other cities for men to lecture on every subject but what is useful, and paying extravagant vrices, let them encourage native talent upon philosophi- cal, Scientific, or commercial subjects; and instead of catering to the fancy of the public at the expense and detriment of its members, let their aim be to make honest, capable merchants, and useful citi- zens; then may the merchants of New York be as distinguished for their integrity and intelligence, as the city is for the safety and spaciousness of its har- “or, and Clinton Hall be, as it ought, their Alma Mater. Rosco. Anti-Stavery Meerine at Faneuty Haut—As- sy Forsom on HER Fret acain.—Yesterday the Massachusetts Anti Slavery Society commenced its annual session at Faneuil Hall. Francis Jackson sq, the President, called it to order, and after a few preliminary proceedings, Mrs. reg Folsom arose, with a bundle of manuscript in her hand, and gave notice of an intention to read it. The Presi- dent said the first business in order was the reading of the annual report ; and requested Mrs. Folsom to wait until it was read. With much aprarent reluctance, the she-orator consented to do so ; and as soon as the report was finished, she was on her taps again, “* with specta- cles on nose,’ and commenced reading, when a motion was made that she defer it until the Treusu- rer’s Report, which was next in order, was read. Mrs. Fousom—Mr 'President, you told me I might iad my address as soon as the Annual Report was rea Prestpent.—You are mistaken ; I requested you to defer it until that Report was read, and I_ now again request you to defer it until we have the Trea- surer’s report: Mrs. Fotsom.—That’s it—all about dollars and cents—the miserable dross before truth and justice. But! want to read my speech now, and I appeal to the meeting whether I may not. The question was then taken onher being allowed to proceed. There wasa single ‘“ aye” (Mrs. Fol- som’s own—It could be heard among a thousand) and numerous voices in the negative. The Prestpent declared it the decision of the meeting that she should not proceed. “* Doubted,” exclaimed Mrs. Fin a voice seme- what rerembling Mrs. Fitzwilliam’s “ Pee-ter.” The vore was again taken, and Mrs. Fo!som’s single voice alone was heard in favor of her inter- ruption of the proceedings. Finding the vote against her, she determined to “‘ read her piece” whether or no. Allatt:mpts to stop her without force proving unavailing, she was permitted to go on and have her own way, and she read a long tirade against the In- sane Hospital (of which she was recently an in- peat Pee the Houses of Correction—against every thing that could restrain men, and particular- ly women, from doing just as they pleased—and wound up with proposing the form. tion of anew So ciety, which should have no cfficers, and no re- strain’ against the universal use of the tongue. As this oration was enougn for one day, we “miz- zled” when it was concluded. If the rest of the proceedings were on a par with the commencement. we doubt whether the world will be emancipated Cae el: year to come, if not longer.— Boston fail. Fanny Exssuer.—We find the following in a Paris paper:—Pillet, the director of the Opera at Paris, having obtained a decree of 60,000 francs damages agzinst Fanny Elssler, in consequence of her break- ing her engagement with him, lately proceeded to seize some rich furniture which remained in the apartments occupied by Fanny before her departure tothe United States The Marquis **, who had known Fanny Elssler and her sister at ‘nna, presented himself, and claimed the furniture as the attorney of Madmoiselle Theresa Elseler. The question was argued before the court—the opera director maintaining that all the furniture, except a few articles which he was ready to have separated from the others, was the property of Fanny before herdeparture The apart- ments, however, were hired inthe name of Mdlle Theresa, and the bills of the articles were made out inher name. The court decided that the property belonged to Theresa, and that the seizure was of no effect. With regard to damages and_ interest, it was decreed that there was no reason for granting any thing on that account, and the opera director was condemned to pay the costs.

Death of the Exchequer in the House— Large Vote in favor of the Sub-Tre: ry Expresses—Oregon, The Senate did nothing to-day, but the House by a large vote, 193 to 19, gave the coup de grace, t Mr. Webster’s Exchequer. Tt was Private Bill day, but all that was pushe: off Mr. Russert gota resolution passed that afte: next week, the House should meet at 11 o’clock, A M. Cosr Jounson presented several memorials 1 favor of his great government stock p'an ; all whic! were reported to the Select Committee, who ar Tohnson, Gentry, Casey, Adams, Tom Marshall, Cravens, Morris, Cooper and Howard. Ther the House took up the Exchequer. Mr. Fillmore took the floor to make the las’ speech on the subject. But as ona motion te re-consider, Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, (one of the mos talented men in the House) made a most excellent speech, T bave given him in fall in preference to Fillmore. : Mr. Fiuumore said, the reason why the Committee lid not report any plan, was because Mr. Cushing’s lan was already before the House undisposed of ; + majoricy of the Committee were in favor of a U.S Bank. As to the safe keeping and disbursements o! the public money, there was the ct of 1789, stating how this was to be done by the Treasurer of the U. States, and there was the joint resolution of 1816. stating that the dues were to be paid in gold and sil- ver. And the penal part of the Sub-Treasury wes still retained, and made even stronger than before Mr. Friiore consumed the rest of his hour in read- ing and commenting on a speech of Cushing’s in 1837 (in Gales and Seaton’s Register, vol. 14, part 1, page 883,) in which Cushing denounced unmerci fully, just such a scheme as the present Exchequer. After he got through, several tried to get the floor; but the previous question was demanded, and tellers were ordered on seconding it. Mr. Tuompson (of Miss.)—I move to lay thr whole snbject on the table. (Great excitement, and several on the floor.) Cusuing—I call for the ayes and naye. They resulted, ayes 66; nays 141. ; So it was not laid on the table. The question then recurred on the previous questior—this wa~ seconded 98 to 75—and the previous question was then put on Atherton’s amendment to the resolu tion of the Committee of Ways and Means. Here it is, and itisin fact a regular Sub Treasury :— “And that the Committee of Ways and Means be in- structed to bring in a billregulating the collection, safe- keeping, transfer, and disbursement ot the public money, in such a manner as shall, as far as possible, substitute provisions of law for Executive discretion in the manage ment of the finances; shall prevent the moneys of the people from being used for purposes of private speculation andemolument, and shall render the Government inde- pendent of the agency and influence of moneyed corpo- rations.” r This was only rejected .by six votes. was— The vote Ars.

Walliams, Winthrep—8. Mr. Burne. moved a reconsideration of th: vote, because he wanted to ay that he condemned the conduct of those who would do nothing for the country Cuarces J. INGERsout then rose and renewed the motion to reconsider. All the members crowded up to hear him, and the House wasas still as death. Mr. C. J. Ixcersort said—This measure, Mr. Spenker, relating to the Exchequer, originated with the President; whereas the only legitimate origin of any measnre to regulate the great monetary power of these United States is this House of Representa- tives. (Here Mr. Underwood, a Clay whig, from Kentucky, and a man of great talent, cried out, ‘ dT want to see this doctrine held and sustained by all parties, and it will tend more than anything else to the paci- fication and harmony of alt parties on this great question, and to bring about some good measur: ‘or regulating the currency. Stil, Mr. Speaker, 1 feel a deep debt of gratitude towards the President for what he has done; and! think the country is not sufficiently awake to the importance of the debt it owes Mr. Tyler. Tt hasbeen said that he isa Pre- sident without a party; and I am not certain that it is “i etae necessary to have a large party to sus. tainhim. But at any rate, party or no party, has taught the people that there is a virtue in the Constitution of which they were not hitherto aware That allthe duties of the Government—executive— legislative—judicisl—may be carried on by agen tleman not prepared by the people for the first office; wed that vetin this new and difficult aspect, every thing works well. On the happening of this new coningency, which now occurs for the firet time iv the history of our country, we are eatisfied that therr can be no check to our excellent institutions—that ill will go on as before, and work with harmony and T wish the country fully to understand and ap preciate this, asshowing that at all times, unde: such eircumstances, the regular and constitutional fanetions of the Government will be properly per. ormed. This fact isa striking and most satisfactory femonstration of the truth of what Mr. Jefferson ‘,that this is the strongest Government in the 1. The practical demonstration of all this con wo titwesaceep and lasting debt of gratitude whic! ve owe to the President. But although all my re ations and intercourse with that geatlemin ha been of akindand most respecttul character, yeti is a strong reason for oppositiny on my part that this exchequer is recommended bythe President atall This House is not so generally famitiar asit ought ‘o be with the act of 1798. I have studied that act nost thoroughly. And I almost think that that or- yanic act, coeval with the days of Hamilton, of Washington, of Ellsworth— Cusminc—Of Madison? Inaersout.—Ot Madison, and all the great framers of the Constitution, who came into Congress under the Constitution—that that act contains the gem and »asis of all we want; and that by our departing trom ‘he principles of that act has caused all our present lifficulties; and that only by returning to those prin iples shall we recover our lost ground. Tam by no neanscommitted to the Sub-Treasury scheme. 1 voted for it, and sha'l yote for it again; but I am not vedded tot. And Istill say that the Independent Treasury ought never to have been made an Exe- ‘ative or a party question at all. This was wrong — {f the prirciple in itis right, it is sufficient for us to xo for the principle without allowing it to be made in Executive or pee measure. The act of ’89 gives 13 the basis of all we want, and ifwe were to go hack to it, we should find it infinitely better for all he purposes of trade and commerce than a United States Bank Subsequently to this ncGe paeenes ina nessage of the Presidert was supposed to recom mend the. s ablishmen’ o’a Nations] Bank and hence he first United States Bank was started, and this ror along time beeame the depositot of govern ment funds, and the great regulator of the currency ind exchanges; and this continued increasing in »ower until we saw, in the time of the late United States Bank, that it became the despot for party pur- ses. Theo, sir, came the State banks, which I vdimit were started by our party. (Laughter from he whigs, and cries of “* That’s candid.”) These were set up with a_ view to counteract the banking of the National Bank; and this struggle went on, running through the suspension of specie payments in England, until this country was literally and truly almost banked to destruction. Now, sir, we are fast WALT padi that. Let us take warning by the past—and look well what we do for the fu- ture he President recommends a treasury bank and I, for one, do not feel all the holy horrors that others profess to feel at such an institution—but a treasury bank, such as he recommends, with large paper issues, not all based on specie, ind to have he power of regulating the exchanges, is the most formidable and most fearfu! of all the powers that caubeimagined. You, Mr. Speaker, well remem- her an eloquent speech made on this floor in favor of the United States Bank, (and of which there were 100,000 copies printed and distributed,) where the argument turned entirely on the power of the mighty exchanges of that institution. Sir, these ex- changes are the main_ stimulus, the most dangerous fomentation of that inordinate, extravagant spirit of speculation, which has been the curse of the country. And, sir, no government, with my vote, shall have the power to issue paper “promises to oay” that is n’t dollaefor dollar based onspecie. Yet, Tam not ‘bigoted; I am willing’to look atthe measure recommended by the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Cushing) and to give it all due consideration, and to adopt any portion of it that I believe to be bene ficial to the country. But I cannot yield to this measure, which has been pressed, and so undulz pressed upon us by the President ! From. all that J can see, hear, read, and learn, the President seems to have made the passage of this Exchequer a strong and favorite object. Sir, with all the respect and gratitude that I teel for that distinguished man, that fact, sit, would be an additional reason for me to vote against it. But to return to the act of ’89, sir; are gentlemen aware that that act not only creates an Independent Treasury, but an Independent Secre- tary of the Treasury ?—one who is not obligated 10 make his reports to the President, but must report to this House. And this House can at all times, by resolution, call that Secretary to the bar. of the House—not being under the necessity of writing to him for any information it may want, and receiving written answers; but the House has the power of placing that Secretary of the Treasury there atthe har, and then and there to question him to the {nllest extent as tothe state of the finances, the pub- ‘ic treasury, and every matter within the scope of his duties. A peculiar power, this, and showing what was the design of the wise and prudent framers of that act. That act of ’89 has not been altered since—it still s.ands in the Statute Bock, and there it will stand until something better shall take its place. Now whatis this measure of the President, which has been twice recommended in his message, and about which there has been ‘so much commo- tion” (langhter) anda long debate, and a ech, shout which so much hasbeen said,and which I shall have something to say about, froma gentleman who is not only very distinguished by his es name, vat who has been sometimes calle itan, and sometimes Tiger, and Hercules, and Demi-God, and sometimes Vesuvius, and Mont Blanc, anda erucible, and a lion, and sometimes Samson—and allsorts of things? (Roars oflaughter.) As to his being called Ged-like, that’s nothing, sir. Forthe hyperbolical exaggerations in this House, throw every thing else said of him out of this House, far into the shade. Now, that gentleman, in his cele- brated speech at Boston, which was so widely cir- entated, and which has created so great a sensa- tion far and wide, says, that if there is any one sub- ject which he does thoroughly understand, it is that of currency and finance. Now, sir, I say he knows very little or nothing about it. (Great laughter.) At feast, sir, with all due deference to that geuile- man, [ can only say, that if he understands it, 1 fon’t. (Roars of haere He says, to, sir, in that speech, that he’s a bullionist. I deny it! (Laughter )’ He's no bullionist at all, sir. No man ean be a bullionist, who will give to the Presi- tent the power to issue paper money as he proposes tode. Now, sir, he may be Mont Blanc, he may be Vesuvins, he may be a tiger, a Titan, a Sameun, or whatever else you please, but I deny that he’s a hullionist, if he would give to the President that vast power of regulating the mighty exchanges cf this country. Now, sir, instead of his views being the emanations of a master mind, as they have been called, I pronounce them crudities and puerilities, sir. (Laughter.) No man who had thoroughly studied the subject, would thus express himself, un- ess he was determined to carry his project over men’s minds and through men’s minds, by the mere force of hisipse dixit. Sir, he says that he will pledge his reputation that this measure, if tried, would relieve the country. Yes, sir, it would relieve the country, urecisely as it would relieve him, or as it would re- lieve me, if either of ws were sick, to go and get jo'ly well drunk, as it is,termed.— (Laughter) many zenilemen here know well what I mean; and the curious effect it would have—(Here the members were conyulsed with Jaughter, particularly Brig: the President of the Temperance Society.) doubt, sir, we should feel uncommonly happy and comfortable for a little while; but, then, us our friend the President of the Temperance Society would say, we should have to get up next morning with « most shocking headache, and with all the remorse of a disordered stomach. (oars of laughter) Sir, (believe that the country is, toa great extent in- duced to believe that Congress can relieve the people, if it will And T, for one, will give all due atceation to every measure proposed on this subject ; and if my vote can give relief, the country shall have Sir, without any reference to party views or feelings, or any connection with any miserable question of president making, [ am disposed to doubt the propriety of passing any new measure just atpresent. I know that nothing but the terrible tribaletion the country has undergone could ever have caused itto make up to the subject of the cur- rencyas it hasdone. But, sir, I think it will be better- much hetter—if we can keep the doctors off a little while longer—whilst the patient is recover- ing—for he is getting better—and the country will recover better, and sooner than by any nostrnms of any kind that wecan administer. Because, sir, we can do nothing that is not future, contingent, and doubtful. Ideny, sir, that a eal 4 has overtaken the country, a3 has been stated. I know that the in- fluence of the banking power in this country has been immense and disastreus ; and that influence has struck in every direction. But still, sir, it has not palsied the country. Look at ourimmense crops of hog of cotton, of corn, ot almost every kind ot produ : A Memper—Yes, but what price can yon get for them? + Incersout—I am asked how pricesare to be made good again? Can we do it by any Treasury hocus pocus? Let us be honest and many, and say so. Let us leok to Mother Earth and her eldest davghter, Labor. They are: doing the work of relieving the country, and will continue to do it. Let the Secre- tary of State, instead of sending his great mind—if it be a great mind—and I admit itis agreat mind tor making speeches—let him, instead of spending his great mind about matters with which he has noth- ing to do, and of which he knows but little or noth ing—let him spend his great mind in his legitimate wrovince—extending the commerce of the country. At present the commerce of all our Atlantic cities 1s prostrated, and the men are standing idle in the streets and wharves. He could make arrangements with many parts of Europe, Asia, and South Ameri- cn, by which our cominerce could be increased dou ble and even treble. Where we now export $50,- 000,000, in a year or two we might export $150,000,- 0, in cotton, wheat, tobacco, rice, every th ing. There’s a legitimate plan for raising your Exchequer thus in Germany, in Asia, America—put your Exchequer there,and make them in your favor, and you will neither have to vig gi of the prices or hard times, And then let Mr. Tyler w the candidate for the next presidency, or Mr Webster the candidate Wisre—Oh, that won't do. 7 7 [Norxsort.—It will make but little difference to your prices. And in two yeara, if all the energies the conntry be expended on these great consi tonal obj of thia Government, that is the in- crease of Commere , we shall have no more trenble ‘bout pricesand eorrency, And then,instead of ex ending all our faculties in vain—instead of trying o get at the heart.throngh the toes—we shall strike it once right atthe heart of the whole thing—anc trom theextremities to the centre every pulsation } will*beat with opulence, contentinent, hard money, and with all that a nation can enjoy. I hear, sir, that the Secretary of State is about to leave us; but then we hear all sortsof things now adays, and such strange things all the time, that we scarcely know what to believe. Thear that he is soon to leave us ona sort of collmeral miasion to Lord Ashburten’s. Re it so, sir: I shall vote the appropriation, sir, with a great deal of pleasure. ‘Wise—So get rid of him. A Locoroco: nd some other man. _Ixagrsol.t—No, notto get rid of him ; but I think him eminently quali for the importance of the errand. Great Britain, sir, is desirous of receiv- ing, all our productions upon the true principles of reciprocity, and the subject is one of vast mo- ment tous. She will take our wheat—our cotton, rice, tobacco, corn, i ¥ Wisr—Yellow corn—that’s in my line. A Meuper—You're great on yellow corn.— (Laughter. ) ‘ ‘ . InarRso1t..—Let this be accomplished. and it will be worth all the speeches ever made in Fanuil Hall or any where else on that or any other subject. And here, in my place, [take the opportunity ex cathedra to tell himto turn his attention to the eubject. In this House, sir, it 18 difficult to tell how to vote—the subjects now-a-days get so mingled and mixed up, and changed and altered that it’s almost impossible to tell how a vote will aflect a question. (Laughter and cries of “That's trne.”) Therefore, 1 shall vote aswellasTcan. My viewslong ago were that a 1.S. Bank was an obsclete idea. The Secretary thinksso now. Rut 4 or 5 years ago he thought and said thata U. 8. Bank note was better than gold or silver. So we've gained something by having some ideas obsoleted. ‘The U. S. Bank, then, is gone.— Tam not wedded to the Suh-Treasury.. But T will give my cordial support to any good measure of re- lief. But Teannot vote to give the Government the exchange power—I cannot vote to allow them to ise sue paper money. But anything that is really hene- ficial withont injury shall have my silent vote. I wish, not with a view of President making, that mat- ters might’ remain asthey are alittle while lon- gor; for this country ia recovering fast. And if the President will only apply the great talents of his Ca- hinet in the legitimate objects T have named, it will immensely increase our wealth, energies, and re- sources, and places us on a prou’er and better foot. jing than we ever possessed I have been obliged to hea little desultory, sir, in these remarks. For the fact is, that no man knows what the subject is go- ingto hein this House one minute from the other— there is nothing certain here but uncertainty—and therefore, unless he gets all the sneeches ready that he is going to speak during the session, why his speech must be made up of odds and ends and_a little of every thing. (Laughter and a cry ot ‘True, every word of it.”’) Do gentlemen know that the late war was carried on altogether by paper money as well asthe revolution- ary war. Inthe three years of the late war there were issued $120,000,000 of Treasury notes and loans by acts of Congress. In the seven vears of thy re- volntionary war there were issued 8360.000,000 of pa- per money. And in the same proportion that three isto seven, compared with the above amounts,there was the paper issued. And it is from this that we shall entirely recover; but T believe we are ina fair way for it, and fast getting health and strength. And T will never give my vote to bring back a state of things that was a stain upon the records of the na- tion—a great canker in the heart of the country. Mr. Jonks, (of Md.,) then said he voted with the guard, bezause it was the duty of Congress to pro- vide some plan of currency. Mr. Wier said, for the first time this session I felt hunery, and went below to get ascrap. (Laughte Had I been here I would have voted for the pro tion of the gentleman from New Hampshire, and not on the resolution of the Committee. Therefore I hope I shan’t he charged with dodging Mr. Pope said he should have voted for the reeo- lution and against the amendment. Mr. Everert moved to lay the motion to reconsi- der on the table. Thisprevailed, and the House ad- iourned. So the Exchequer is disposed of in the Honse. Next comes Cushine’s project. The Senate took up the Bill to prevent theem- playment of private expresses on mail routes, a copy of which [eent you. Merrick defended it. Hxn- prRSoN said it was unconstitutional. Tt was post- poned. Mr. Linn spoke again on the Oregon Bill, and the Senate adjourned till Mouday. It seems to be generally believed here, that Con- gress will adjourn, leaving everything as they found it. It is also believed, Mr. Webster will retire soon after the 4h of March. An . Hon. Dan.

Apalachicola, Cap- tain Place, arrived yesterday from Lerma, six miles distant from Campeachy, having sailed thence on the 5th inst. e Up to the last advices, the siege progressed as pre- viously announced—more or less firing daily, with little execution. The Mexicans expected a _rein- forcement of 2000 men, under the command of Santa Anna in person, which they anticipated would at once settle the question in his favor. . It is estimated that the Mexicans have lost, since the landing of this expedition, from all causuy, kill- ed, sickness, desertion, &c., over one thousand se- ven hundred men. - " It is asserted thatthe English officers and crews of the steam veseels are anxious for instant active ope- rations, but that the Mexican commander is deter- Boe to wait the arrival of reinforcements from Ve- ra Cruz. The brig Wm. Crawford, hence from Campeachy, was caotured off the port, and sentro Laguna for tri- al. The reason of her capture was the intention to violate the blockade. . The British bark Cunningham had arrived at Campeachy with supplies from Vera Cruz, and had gore to Laguna to load with logwood. Com.
