Bin :— On the 29d of December last, you introduced a resolu- tion into the House af Beurpenaiigtirey, Gann pan ihe Secretary of the Treasury to report “ to amount ‘othe defaleation im Jesse Hoyt, late Collector of the Port of New York, and also what means, if any, had Deen adopted for the recovery of the same; toget the names of the sureties for said Hoyt ;” which tion, as a matter of esurse, passed without objection, and appeared in due time in the newspapers of the day, and through that medium met my observation, Having reason to fear that such resolution, from the source at which information was sought, would not bring ir representation of my accounts and controversies with the Government, and inferring that you desired to be correctly: informe.!, 1 wrote you ep the 26th ef that month somewhat of a detailed statement of my official transactions, and among other things, stuted that “ in consequence of the litigation pending between the Uni- ted Stutes and myself and sureties, | Cousidered it proper to submit the resolution to my counsel, and they have suggested, that if the matter of the resolution should come belore Congress for consideration, that you and every other just maa would concede the propriety of having both sides of the question before you. ‘T'o that end, 1 be; to call your attention to some of the facts of the case, and I shall propose at the close, to ask your interposition in procuring papers to be laid before Congress, bearing upon the subject ; not that you are my immediate representa tive, but because you have tvinced a desire for informa tion.” fy Phe resolution which I requested you to present, as you Will see by reference to the letter, was in these words :— “ Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury report to this House copies of all letters or communications re- ceived by the Treasury Department from Jesse Hoyt, late Collector of the Port of New York, since he ceased to be such Coliector, and all answers made thereto.” ‘On the Sth of January, as [also learned from the news- apers, Mir. Buchanan introduced into the Senate a reso- lution calling upon the Secretary of the ‘Treasury "to communicate to the Senate any report which may have deen made to him, or to the Solicitor of the Treasury, by the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in relation to the cloth cases recently tried in thatdistrict, involving forieitures consequent upon the violation of the revenue laws.” ‘On the 7th of January, a letter from Washington, under date of the 6th of that month, was published in the Ex prese of this city, setting forth the last_ mentioned resolu- tion, and adding the iollowing paragraph: “This resolution jooks to the procurement of a dozu- menton filvin the ‘Treasury Department, relative to the action of the courts inthe recent cloth cases. I have not acen this report, but _kuow its coutents, I believe, pretty, well. It looks to a vindication of the recent decisivns of the court in Philadelphia, im cases involving a large amount of money. decisions here, by those who have made them an object of inquiry, are regarded in most cases, a8 monstrous preversions ol justice, . . * ° «But of this more anon. Before Congress has done with it, the boot may be on the other {oot, and justice dene to the importers, some of whom have been most un- justly wronged by the Philadelphia decisions, I have seen the finger of Mr. Hoyt, the Ex-Collecter, I think, in this matter, in answer to the resolution of Mr. Boardman, of Conn., adopted some time since in the House, For two or three days past it has been announced, too, that the British Minister may make demand upon our Gov ernment for the money held as forfeitures in the decisions complained of, most of the money belonging to foreign and English merchants. The subject is one of so much interest, that | have thought it worth while to say thus much about it in advance of the forthcoming report, which Iwill not fail tolook ato. receiving the contents of the public documents.” 7 My attention was called to that letter, when it was sug. gested, and no doubt with truth, that the writer was Mr. George A. Dwight, now and hereiofore the agent of the “gaddleworth smugglers,” and other depredators upon the revenue. It was supposed that mine was the deveted ‘foot on which that “ boot” was to be put, and that you might, possibly, be one of the distinguished individuals ret to, who had made the decision: in object of en- quiry,” und who ‘regarded them as monstrous perver- sions of justice ;” and it was argued, from the fact that your resolution, being mixed up in that letter with th smuggling affairs, that they werein some way identified. Tdid not then believe that you desired (if you had any sur- jlus to part with) to place any portion of your reputation Into that concern, (though no where, if the article was good, was it moreneeded ; andin no hands would it be more actively employed, or more readily “ use up 3”) yet, as you had not answered my letter, or indicated what course you would adopt concerning my proposed resolu- tion, 1 thought best to write you, end” throw out the idea of the danger to which you might be exposed, by the as. tociation referred to, andaccordingly did, on the 9th of January, write as follows :— New Yorx, Jan. 7, 1843. Sin—I wrote you on the 26th of last month, but which 1 did not nvail till the 3ist, wherein | requested you to sub- mit to the House a resolution Ithen enclosed. Ihave not had the pleasure of receiving areply, and 1 do not know that [bad any claims to one, though from a knowledge of your character, [ had nodoubt then and have none now, of your entire willingness to see that justice is done me — I perceive by a letter trom Washington, published in the Express of this morning, that reie:ence 18 mad: to your former resolution, which induces me to take the liberty of again widressing you for the purpose of enquiring wheth- er you would have the goodness to offer the resolution I enciose to you. By the letter in the Express, to which I have made refe. Tence, you will perceive how far it is proposed that I be heid responsible to the public, and to individuals, for the result of trials recently hed in Philadelph: been intimated, though | think not truly, t dome connection between your resolution and the quae detense the Express letter ‘makes for some of the deten- dante or claimants in those trials. Very respectfully, (Signed) J. HOYT, late Collector. ‘Te the Honorable W. W. Boanno. Houte of Representatives, Washington. ‘To that letter you made the following reply Wasninetor, D.C., House of Representatives, January 9, 1843, gir :—Your two Jettera are received. Ido not at pre. sent perceive the necessity ar expediency of offering the resolution you propose. , What further movement may be necessary, will be known upon the coming in of the re- sponse of the Secretary to ihe resolution already passed. Thave no personal feelings to gratify in this matter,and for divers reasons intend not te bedrawn into a personal controversy about it, certainly not over the un‘ounded in- timation alluded to at the closcof your letter. Your obedient servant, (Signed) WM. W. BOARDMAN. J. Horr, Eq. late Collector. I confess I was disappointed to learn that you declined to state to the House, that you had received such a resolu- tion from me, and was requested to offer it. ‘That was all had reason, under the circumstances, to expect from a stranger, with whom the relation of representative and constituent did not exist. But from the last paragraph, I had a right to infer, that you “ repudiated” the idea of be- ing a general, special, or silent partner with Dwight and the smugglers, and was somewhat consoled, by the infe- rence, formy disappointment in the other respect, and hence] made up my mind to wait,with becoming resigna- tion, for the report of the Department, in answer to the re. rolution, adopted on your motion. That report has come, and allmy anticipations in regard to its unfair character, have beet realized. It appeared through the columns of the Express, on the first instant, as a partof a letter, wri ten by Dwight, at Washington on the 30th of January, iv which I find the following paragraph, “it now appearsthat Mr. Hoyt male affidavit that he was not ready for trial at the last term ef the Circuit Court in consequence of the absence of a material witness at Philadelphia, In the meantime, he has written a letter to amember of Congress, assigning a different reason whitch is, that the Secretary of the Treasury, had deprived him, through other persons, of certain papers. The letter was filled with imputasions on Mr Forward,and is entirely dis proved by Mr. Hoyt’s own statements, as it was also by the declarations of all the parties referied to ov a Inded to in the matte I think it due to you to say, that this st whet embarrassed me in regard to concl had arrived, as hereinbefore stated. I h any member of Congress, except yourself , on the point or pee, referred to; and while I admit that my letter to you, under date of 26th of December, was in no sense pri- vate, but designed in good faith to give you informati n, which I was justified in believing you also, in good faith, red to obtain, from public considerations; yet, your having decided not to act upon that formation, the in- quiry arises, whecher you had the moral right to permit that letter to be used by persons capable of misrepresent. ing its purport, and of founding on it a false accusation of discrepancy, other statement alleged (but without any specification whatever,) to have been 1 Such is one aspect of the ‘affair, and in th volves an imputation upon m: integrity. In another as- pectit draws in question my ragacity, in discarding at the outset, the suggestion, “ that ¢ fome connection between your resolution and the quasi defence the Ex- ress letter makes for some of the defendants or claimants in these trials,” at Philadelphi Ifthere is any thing, in this view of the case, which in any degree affects you as a just man, you may perhaps t inclined to shield yoursell by the suggestion, that Mr. Dwight, to whom you must have shown the letter, vio, lated your confideice in the use to which he put it. In this defence you may meet with » difficulty, to be found in the fact of his utter untrustworthiness e Keneral in'amy of his character, of which I informed the Secretary of the Treasury, in a letter under date of the &th of Decem. der, 1841, (and soon thereafter sent you a printed copy,) as an apology for not ¢ ning him as a witness, in a cause in which the United States was interested, on the ground that his testimony for truth and veracity eould be im. peached in any court of justice in this city; and in regard to which, 1 think many of your own constituents will ogres with me; and il not, T could furnish you with a list of mos’ respectable names in this city who would. 1 you had offered the resolution, which [requested to do, there might have been a fair oppertonity for pub: lishing the letter T addressed youon the 26th of Decem- Der, when it would have appeared whether or not, it was “filled with imputations fipon Mr. Forward,” and wasen trely disproved by Mr. Hoyt’s own statements, as it was al- 40 by the declarations,” (itsch declarations can any where Ye foun) “of allthe parties referred to or aliuded to in the matter;” and Mr. Dwight then would have h portunity to come to the relief of his friend, Mr. Forward, as he ought on all occasionsto do, inasmuch as thie high fanctionary has always been very kind to him, He hus paid to Mr. Dwight large sums oi money, from the “ac. eruing revenue,” for his services in the Polndexter Com. you De mission, long alter I had informed him by letter, ander date of 9th December, 1541, that, “there are thirty.seven judgments on the docket, in this district, in favor of the United States against him, on bonds taken at the Custom House for duties.” : Mr. Forward’s kindness to Mr, Dwight may be illustra- ted by another still more remarkable case, which came to my knowledge by iniormation derived {rom those, who but for bouds of indemnity from underwriters, would have had an interest in the fund. 7 He was overcome by the fascinating influences of this accomplished diplomat to such a degree, a4 actually to give directions for the payment out of the Treasury, (which should have been Kept in tor duties accrued,) of about $19,000, for the use of John Taylor, jr. one ot the Sadaleworth “heroes,” whose agent Dwight hus becn for years, aud who, in thi ty, is now at Waslurgton, Jor the accomplishment of that object. ‘Chis is the Mr. ‘Tay ior, concerning whom | have been so grossly abused by Mr. Dwight through Poindexter & Co. tor causing a prowecution to be commenced against him. ‘The most re- Cent reference to this prince oi * Smugglers,” may be found in the following description of him, in a report trom the United states Attorney, at Philadelphia, which was called for by ut Buchauan’s resolution, and the intlu- ence of which was sought to be destroyed in the letter of Dwight, of the 6th of January, hereinbefore reterred to ‘in the case at Boston, it apeared @ corrupt uuder. standing had existed between the importer and an oiticer of the revenue at New York.” «John Taylor, jr., was of Saddleworth, aud received his importations theuce through Abie aud Lhomas Shaw, a sou of whom wasa membero! the firm of William Black burn & Co.; and to wirom all the bers of this firm were related or Connected by marriage. Mr, faylor aiso re ceived some goods Irom other parties in England. His un- nual importacions were of very large amount. Recent de- velopments have shown that he wus not scrupulous as to the means to be resorted to in orde. to propitiate the favor of thy officers of the revenue st New York, aud the de- velopements of his corrupt transactions with one of them was, I presume, the immediate subject of Mr. Curtis’s let- ter to you.” « ‘The real parties interested were, therefore, William Blackburn and Co, and Jou ‘taylor, juur., the amn- porters, whose fraudulent practices, in reterence tu the revenue, were not denied or deniable.” * + * * r value of goods of his importations 1 bel, @s to which the proof ot a trauduient collusion b bail was required 1n $90,000, the same demand being un- derstood, according to the practice in New York, w be $28,000, or haif the amount of the bail, “fhe process was not executed, Mr. Taylor having gone to Canada, where he remained sometime. In his abseace, a settiewent of this suit was etfected, on the payment by ‘Taylor of the $26,000 demanded. As this was ratified by your Depart meut, | will merely observe that Mr. ‘Pay.or has no ground to complain of a proceeding which wus, in ail re- Spects, a vary lenientoue as regatded him. Jo say no thing on the subject of Liability to & criminal prose ution, his civil responsibility was many times greater than the amouut paid. ‘Tbe estimate of this amount seems to have been founded on a supposed deficiency in the duties paid by hin during acertain period on goods falsely invoiced, instead of an estimate of the actual value of the guods themselves, for which he was liable by the provisions of the 66th section. By subsequent investigation, the mere deficiency or short payment of duties alone hus been #0 far ascertained, a8 to render it probable that the $25,000 paid Was but a smali proportion of the deticiency in his payment of duties. ‘that the payment of duties by Mr. ‘Taylor had been evaded to the extent of many times this amount, will appear probable on ap examination of the table of hut importations, which is hereto sud- joined.” ‘This Mr. Taylor was also referred to in the following manner by the Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in a report to the Secretary oi the ‘i'reasurygupon proceedings under the act concerning the remission of forteitures also to be found quoted in the same report of the United States At- + ‘There existed (says the judge) from July 1636 to April 1833, a secret understanding between the importer, John Lay lor, Jr., anda Deputy Collector of the Customs at New York, before whom his entries were made, and by whom the designation was made of the packuge te be taken to the appraiser’s store for examinauon. During these 21 months, the whole number of entries by Mr. Taylor was 129. ‘The whole number of packages in these entri wus 1,588, or un uverage of about 12 packeges to ap entry. The examined packages, instead of being selected indis: criminately {rom each invoice, was, in 108 of the 129 en- tries, the highest or next to the lughest price of uli the packages in the entry, viz.:—in 84 cases the highest, and a cuses the nextte the highest. Aithough there were four deputy collectors, each always ready to perform the same service, yet, with two exceptions, Mr. ‘Yaylor, dur- ing this period, never made an entry of more than a single puckage belore any other deputy collector than Campbell, andin one of the two excepted instances, when the entry was sworn before another deputy collector, the degigna- tion of the package to be examined was in the hand- writing ef Campbeil himself. “The packages examined, 129 in number, were in- voiced together at £14,559 is. 6d., or £112 178. 3d, each package. “The packages not examinod, 1 409 in number, were together invoiced at £100,768 14s.

According to my judgment,that officer in that report has sot only done the greatest injustice to my sureties and myself, and expecially to the former, but has practised a gross fraud upon the House of Representatives in his re- sponse to your resclution. From this charge he cannot shield himself upon the ground that he reported the state of my accounts as they “appeared from the adjustment by the Auditor and Comp- troller of the Treasury ;” for your resolution was sent by the Secretary, not to the last named officers, but to the Solicitor, asthe head ofthe bureau having charge of the litigation, and not the accounts, and therefore, it was in- i officer and a just m tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. truth was, that upon those accown Tclaimed a balance of taore than $41,000, as due me; and that the difference be. tween that sum and $226,0¢0, for which he says I am a‘‘de- faulter,” is made up of iteras stricken out of those accounts by the Auditor and Comptroiler. Those items con:isted of commissions on payment of drafts, wherein I was held by the government itself to be subject to the risk of all frands and forgeries, and to which risk {had been exposed in making pay ts to an amount exceeding $22,000,000, and for which fraud and forgery I had been personally sued, upon adraft for a large amount, and in which suit protection was denied me by the government; sums which 1 had actually paid by the expr ders of the Department, to various individual the Auditor and Comptroller, notwithstanding such or- ders, struck out of the accounts, Added to these, are va rious other items of dispute, which it is not necessary to refer to at this time, for you may have heard of them be- fore, but the results I can briefly sum up ax follows : tment of the accounts, and of my claims tthereto, should such claims be allowed, there wonld be due to me from the United States, over the sum of forty-one thousand dollars, as before , even if the acceunts remain in other stated by counting officers, But {have in anothe that in consequence of the extreme multifari complexity of the various transactions embraced in such accounts, many errors to my prejudice have crept into them, which, from the manner in which they were mad» up, could not be detected bofore the rendition thereo!, but which [have since, in part discovered, in the course of the investiga Thave made.

God forbid that I should thi so meanly of you as to suppose that you could be gratified to see even your worst enemy standing on the records of Congress as a public “detaulter,” to the amount stated in the unfair report from the Solicitorjof the Treasury as at- taching tome. The LT Rak a pekyaiica he which you onght to feel sensiti is touched in such a question, and no Christian or patriet should admit the truth of a charge involving such consequences, except opon the clearest preof ; und the more especially while there is controversy pending in the courts of justice, the rightful organs te ascertain the truth ofthe allegation. And when the disgraceful fact can no longer be disputed or denied, it should even then be proclaimed more “in sorrow than in anger,” while the act itself would deserve, as it should receive, the severest denunciations ofa wronged anda be trayed people. While I have ventured to say what 1 think ought to be your feelings on the sutject, permit me also to remark, that your Congressional career has as yet been signal: ized, only by afew striking incidents, one of which, how: ever, was said at the time to be somewhat marked, and contributed rather to adorn your per ment your reputation as a public man.* avout drawing to a close, perh but little time left, for the home to your indulgentconstituents. The capital which you have acquired in the blow you aimed at the humble individual who now addresses you, would not, in one point of view, however Itmight in another, be at all co- veted by any one save Dwight and his employers.

During the pen- dency of those trials, Messrs. Dwight and Taylor atten- ded at Philadelphia together, and not bemg well satistivd with the appearance of things there, passed on to Wash- ton to look alter the $19,000, where they met the reception before alluded to. The $1,700 churged in my accounts to the government for expenses incurred on those trials as I supposed in be- half of the United States, was stricken out by the Auditor and Comptroller and helps now to make up wir. Penrose’s amount ef defalcation. Thad complained in regard to all these matters connected with the subject of these litiga- tions from time to time, but as there seemed to y! Tious power behind the throne, if not greater than it, at least greater than I, which paralized ai the influences of the appalling truths.which 1 had placed on record in the Department on this matter, I made up my mini to leave the Secretary to his “idol: fore apprised him by letter, under date of the ry, 1612, of this intention, and [ offered up t plication that ‘God and’th: safe de ce {rom Mr. Dwight and his smuggling co- adjutors.” The letter has never been answered, and I am sure from recent demonsirations, the prayer has not been heard; whether it was arrested at Washington, through which medium I sent it, { ain uffable to say.

Asan equity pleader, he is pre-eminent, if | may judge from an official opinion he gave on my official acts, as “late collector” (of course, the law for present ones), which was, that instead of proceeding by action at law to recover penalties and forfeitures, 1 should have filed a bill in equity to compel the parties to admit under oath frauds at the Custom House, involving the crime of perjury thus «ubject themselves to such penalties I the th Janua- incere sup- country wouid give him a and “let him alone.” lt bie duty J forfeit That beiag an “ elementary” op! he did not think it worth hi ion ot this yy attention (in which he exer: cised a commendable prude ice) tocite any authority in support of it.

Orego.—Exchequer—Post Office—Navy Ke- onchment—Amos Kendall, &o, The (irst business done in the Senate to-day was a motion to reconsider the Oregon Bill made by Mr. Archer. Mr. Linn objected. The motion to reconsider is to be postponed till tomorrow, when the vote is to be taken at 1 o’elock. Mr. Tattmange then moved to take up his Ex- chequer Bill. [tis the same ashe reported from the Select Committee last session, He begged and im- plored the Senate todo something to relieve the currency of the country. As for a United States Bank that was out of the question. He believed that his Exchequer Bill would do much to relieve the terrible distress that existed in the couniry, and he implored them. to pass it. _ ‘The consideration of the bill was then postponed until to-morrow. i : A bill was then passed to repair Pennsylvania venue ; not before it was wanted. The billte prevent newspapers, and letters, and bank bills being carried out of the mail was then taken up and debated aud passed over; and the Senate adjourned. ; In vue House the first thing of any consequence was a Bill reported by the Committee on Claims to. pay Stockton & Stokes the amount of their judg- ment against Amos Kendall if the Supreme Court shal! atlirm the judg.cent. The bill also directs the Marsiral to release Amos Kendall from. custody The bill was referred to the Committee of the Whole. So wus a Bill to finish the Potomac bridge. 3 Mr. Bowne then reported that it was not expedi- entfo abolish the office of Commissioner of the Publie Buildings. A Memper—Why not? He’s a regular Vicar of Bray. Bownr.—I’s hardly just to select merely one tree for the pruning knife ot the House. Mr. Boarpman presented a Bill to reduce his sala- ry from $3000 to $2000. Gen. Wano said that he was a very useful and able officer ; he had all the public lands under his control; had to make out deeds for them, and _fre- quently had $1,000,000 pass through his hands in a year, $3000 was not too much. The keeper of the Rotunda got $1500. A Voice—Weil cut him down too, Howns—You can’t get competent men to fill such an oflice forsuch a sum. i A Memper-—One of my constituents will take the first at $1200 and the other at $600. A Memuer.—It you say much, Bowne, we'll cut down the salary of Governor of Wisconsin to $300. Avoruex Mempgr.—No! a dollar a day. Let’s give Bowne a dollar a day. Bronson—I move, sir, to cut his salary down to $1500—(Cries of “Oh! ob! no, no! yes, yes, go it.”) Wise--Then, sir, I move in all soberseriousness, that the Bill be recominitted to the same commit- tec, and that they be instructed to report all the re- ductions that they possibly can in all branches of the Government, and particularly in our salurtes! (Great laughter.) 1 don’t like this making fish ef one, and flesh of another. There is House Bill, No. 548.— (Roars of laughter.) The provious question, however, was called and seconded. icKennan—I think, Mr. speaker, that we’re a cutting down alittle foo rankly. I move to lay the Billon the table. Lost. Ayes, 31; noes, 161. The House then went into committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and took up the Navy Bill with this amendment:— ‘That until otherwise directed by law, no part of the present, or any future appropriations for ‘the pay of com- mission, warrant, and perty officers, including the engi- neer corps, shall be paid to the same, except upon a reduc- tion of the present pay at and after the rate of twenty per centum per annum. Ttold you tne otaer day that the Navy Appropria- tion Bill was before the House, and that on the very first item, the pay of the officers an attempt was making to reduce the same 20 percent. This was Mr. Merriwether’s motion. Mr. Wise said he should fight hard for keeping up our glorious navy in ail its cficieucy. Inotead of cutting down, we ought to increase every branch of it. Our tea trade with China required an in- crease of force; our trade with South America and the Pacific requ red it; the whole of our whaling trade required it; our whalers in the South seas wouldsoon have no place where to get wood and water, unless we had cruisers in those seasto de. mand it 8 aright, and to resist the enormous port charges that was every day demanded of our merc! antvessels If we are to reduce, let us take a little of the Commodores and Captains who are idle in por’, and putiton the Midshipmen and warrant officer’ and seamen in active service. It was a strang’ mistake which gentlemen from the interior made, to suppose that they were not interested in a navy to protectcomimerce. Those who produced the exports were more interested than any one else; yes, even more so than those who live on the sea board = Reduce the pay of the idle and bad; notthe brave and good officer who was daily risking his life forhis country. If we want to made a reduction of $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 reduce the number of seamen; reduce the expenss of the dock-yards and depots, the materials fer building and the stuff in ordioary, Already we had $8,000,000 or $10,000,- on of this stuff laid up, and much of it rotting and ecaying. Here a funny scene arose. Proffit and John M’Keon both arine to the floor at once. r. Speaker— Gentleman from Indiana. Thave an amendment— ‘Lhave the floor. But, sir, my amendment— Is not in order. Prorerr —I told youso. Sit down, take your time. A Memper —Stick to him, Mac. M’Keon.—Does the Chair decide? Prorrir.—The Chair has decided, John; what the devil do you want? M’Keon.—I did not hea: A Prorrir.—Serve you right, sit down. The gen- tleman, sir, can get the floor aiter me, if he tries hard; though he certainly will appear to very great disadvantage. (Roars of langhter.) M’Keon.-—Well, after that, I certainly will sit down. Here is the amendment he offered : Provided no part of the moneys hereby appropriated, shall be expended in the expense of preparing, equipping, and maintaining a naval force, under the 8th article of the treaty made at Washington, Aug. 9, 1842. Prorrre —The gentleman from Georgia (Merri- wither,) says that no officer of the navy shall be paid at all, uoless he consents to receive 20 per cent less than the law allows him; and that without re- pealing the act of 18835. The gentleman seems de- termined to cut down every thing that is useful ; he moved to reduce the army—it was done ; he moved toreduce the navy—it was done ; every thing is to be reduced but our own pay and expenses, sir; on that, sir, there isa good deal of shuffling. We talk and ‘talk, and talk about drones, and loungers, and loafers in the governmeat, but we never can see our- selves included in that category. Now, sir, I sav that the officers of the navy are not paid too much. You can’t find a solitary instance where one of our officers of the navy, if he depended entirely on his pay, left his lady more than a mere pittance when he died. Whatis the pay? An officer of the first grade atseagets $4500. Out of this he has to pro- vide all his apparel, private stores, comforts, main- tain a wife, and half a dozen children. A Memner—They oughn’tto marry. The coun- try requires a/ltheir energies and time. (Roars of fanghter, in which the ladiesin the gallery blushed and joined.) Prorrit—A British officer of the same grade re- ceives $10,200 a year, and $14 40 per day besides, Ab day his flag 1¢ flying on the station; making nearly $16,000 a year. A captain receives $3,500. A Passed Midshipman received $750 afloat and $600 onshore. A Midshipman, who had to devote ten years of his lie to learning his daty, and perhaps breaks his health in the service by fever or exposure, receives $300 or $350. Talk of this being too much ; wi ab isn’t the pay of a door keeper of the House of Representatives—of a messenger, of a page, who gets $2a day—why it isn’t the pay even ot a lacquey (laughter), of a wood carrier, of a wood sawyer. (Roars of laughter.) No doubt there was a great deal of tyranny and abuse, and coxcombry insome parts of the navy ; but thiswas not the way toreform those abuses. “If this thing goes on, by and by some one had better move to abolish the navy. Some Memngsr—With all my heart; I don’t see the nse of the navy. (Great laughter.) Mr. Meeniwerner said that the pay of the navy was raped in 1935, because every thing was higher then than now. The country believed that the high salaries given to the navy officers was the cause of their immorality and tyranny, and rendered them the most disgraceful body that ever belonged toany country under heaven. If the pay was cut M’Keon— down one half, the navy officers had only them: § meter down to 28. Every body sick. selves and their bad conduct to thank for it. A court martial had tobe kept all the year round try- ing them fer their misconduct, Mr. Houmes said—This is truly the most fragmen- tal Congress | have ever known. (Laughter.) Do the people believe that this government can get along with such a Congress 7 re have, been here two months, and not taken up asingle bill for regu- lardiscussion. True, Jackson’s fine has been stuck up like a popinjay, to be shot at by all parties. And now that we ure aboutto have adebate on the navy bill, comes in this motion to cut down. Truly, is gentlemen can do nothing else, they know how to destroy. Mr. Cave Jounson was glad to see this attempt te retrench. Ele would support it, and he thought the army und nayy might both be reduced considerable. A Voice—Abolish ’em both. (Laughter.) Mr. Frssenpen said that the pay was not too much to enable the officers to support themselves with proper dignity abroad, and their families in comfort uthome. ‘They had to devote their whole lives to the service. 1t was the conduct of the President in altering the sentences of such persons as Captain Levy and others, when properly punished by a conrt martial, that brought disgrace on the navy. Mr. Gorpon was for cutting down their salaries Provisions were much cheaper now than in 1835, — ‘The eagles would Oil gather where there was a greatdead carcase. (Laughter.) Some went tor glory—some for plunder. Some drew more than they ought—one account said the medicines were stolen— Here Wise and Kine and others rose, amid much contusion, i ; ' Wiss—It’s utterly impossible to draw for what they are not entitled to - ine The letter trom the Medical Bureau has been denied by Com. Biddle. Gorvon—Well, L object to our officers having real sularies lo give great entertainments to great foreign princes in great foreign ports, to * catch the manners living as they rise,” (laughter) and bring them to this country, to corrupt us simple republi- caus. Ihate the tyranny and the insolence that 1s practised in the navy. Who can be proud of the recent Wansactions of the navy on the Atlantic or the Pacific?’ And unless these things are remedied, 1 go tor seeing the navy abolished. Mr. Liuuincuast said that the horizontal mode of reducing the salaries was all wrong. Mr. Coorer of Ga. said, he did not know what we were coming to. We were large y in debt—a revenue falling ofi—we must reduce sumewhere.— ‘The government ought to be cared on for $15,000, 000, instead «ft $26,000,000. Jf nothing else coud be done, abolish the army and navy. He was op- posed to tue tariff—to the Exchequer and to Cost Johnson's schep-e. He theught we must come to direct taxes, but he did not like it. Mr. Arnotp rose und said—I rejoice, Mr. Speak- er, that 1’ve found somebody at last to advocate eco- nomy and retrenchment. But the gendeman does not begin atthe right end. Le’s tor cutting down the pay of the poor little middies, as tuey did the poor little pages, sir; in this House, sir, But, sir, the gentleman says nothing about cutung down his own salary. (Laugitter.) He was driving about so afore the wind, that 1 couldn’: tell where he’d land. He was like the bees in the country, a3 we say; he had swarmed, but you coulda’ttell where he’d set- tle, (Great iaughter.) He says he’s tor retrench- meant, sir; butthen he'll abolish the army and navy betore he’ll touch a doliar of his own sulary.— (Laughter.) Why not abolish this House, sir?— (Roars of laughter.) lt wouldn’t be much loss, sir. (increasea laughter ) Abolish everything, sir, and let us have a cheap government. We may aswell do that as abolish the army and navy.— I'm sorry I can’t understand the gentleman trom Georgia. He’s against the tariti—agaimst direct tax- es, and against reducing the pay of the members, sir. ‘his 1s a most extraordinary specimen ot eco- nomy, sir. He’s for liberal pay, sir, and no taxes, (Greatlaughter.) Liberal pay, sir, and no taxes— that’shi-doctrine. (Increased laughter.) Abolish the army and navy, and then the people will say, “Now youcan go on, and abvlisn yourselves. — (Roars of laughter.) 1 saw the awful state of this country, sir, preseut and prospective, sir, long ago, sir—long ago, sir. But the wing party, sir—ibe whig party, sir, have failed most grievously — most grievously inpreventing this state, by introdu- cing a wholesome system of economy and retrench- iment. M’Keon—The democrats ’Il stick by you. ‘ Axnotp—The gentleman says the democrats will stick by me. I hope they will. Some ot ’em have already. Now, sir, whatis tae state of the country ? Your revenue will not be over $12,000,000 this year; the most sanguine don't make it over $15,000,000 While your expenses will be double that amouut And yet gentlemen are taking up a solitary case of one public officer, and inaking a reduction of 31500. But they wiil net put their hands into their own pockets and take out $2 a day. They’il Coe fore every body elze’s salary but their own. his Kind of ieeidation is, | was going to say, but I suppose it would be out ef order— Severna Mempers—Go on, Arnold ; say it. Axrxorp—Well, it’s a disgrace to this House, and the country Here, I’ve had a bill ready all last session and this, which would save $4,000,000 a year to the country, (Bill 548) and you won’t touch it, because it touches the pay for ourselves. And do you think the country will submit to this? Why they'll treat you with scorn and contempt. Now my friend and colleague, (Cave Johnson) he’s a great retrencher, sir. A very great retrencher—till itcomes to his own case, sit. (Great laughter.) When the retrenchment touches his own pocket, he flies all off into splinters. When it comes to his own case, sir, he caves in. (Roars of laughter.) And the gentleman trom New York, and alt, harped on one string, retrenchment; but they won't take $2. day off theirown pay. Now, I'm willing to take a general sweep—not a partial one; cut down all the salaries of government officers, members of Congress, &c. 25 per cent. This willsave $4,000,000 ayear. [ean buy as much provision now for $6, as I could in 1835 for $8. if $8 was enough then, $6 is enough now. Mr. Coorgr— Why not make it $3? _ Arxoun—The gentleman, sir, says reduce itto $3, sit, Sir, $83a day would be pretty high pay for many members of this House. (Roarsof laughter.) Leould get many better men, sir, at half the price. A Memuer—It some of ’em were paid the time they’re here, they'd get devilish little ARnow Some members say this is too late—it looks bad to. be reducing the pay of the members who are coming after us. Well; letus pass it now to-day, and let it take effect from the time it passes. Some threaten that they’ll make the bill prospective, and make the members disgorge all back through the session if I press it. No fear of their doing that, ir, (Laughter.) That's too shallow a device to deceive the counfry with, sir. We shall show our sincerity by making it take effect from its passage.— Let usdo it. The two ends of this Government, will never meet, sit,unless this wholesome retrench- mentis adopted. Lam opposed to singling out one or two poormen. Let us go the whole hog, sir.— House Bill, No, 548, does not propose to touch an salaries under $1000, and takes off 20 per cent. It has been well considered again and again in com- mittee—it has long been before this House— { mean to stick to this, sir; to keep this balla rolling. The chairman of the committee of Ways and Means, (Fillmore) is not a going to get the floor every morning as soon as the journal is read, aod drive the House into committee. He seems to have a most holy horror, sir, of House Bill 548—because it retrenches too much, sir. Cuamman.—Order. Arnoip.—It touches his own salary—his own pocket, sir. Cramman.—Order. The remarks are not in or- er. Sever: ] Memners.—Why not ? Arvnotp—Well, never mind, sir; I’m done with him. (Roars of laughter ) I hope the House’ll ex- cuse me; butyou see, | was obliged to get this lit tle speech in some how. The House never will let me make a speech on bill 548. (Great laughter ) They alwayschoke it down, sir. ‘They never will fairly give the ayes and noes upon it, sir. So the epeech of the gentleman from Georgia was a per tect God-send to me, sir, and I thank him for open- ing the door for me to make my little speech, How- ever, | now give notice that I shall speak on this sub- ject every time I get achance. And Vil contend for the floor every morning with the gentleman from New York (Fillmore.) And I call on the friends of retrenchijent here to sustainme. Let ussee who's javor of reform and retrenchment, and not fritter away the session with isolated cases, and the pay of a few poor pages and midshipmen. Let us get the ayes and noes onit.

Tur New Ponce Seite Whe beth Boards of Aldermen have been debating and squabbling as to what would produce a reform in our Polie System, Justice Matsell, on the suggestionof Mayor Morris, or Mayor Morris at the intimation of Jum tice Matsell, has quietly and almost imperceptibly in- troduced a system of preventive police that with but a few days practice has produced the most tayorable results. A selection has been made of the most ac- tive and industrious officers attached to the police of the city, who have been registered in squads of tour and five to act asa night patrol. The resulthas been that in the districts where they have been placed, the whole wateh department has been put upon the qui vive, and midnight robberies and burglaries have decreased in proportion to their exertions. Tho night patrol, like the “silent watch” of Philadel- phia, thus form a secret supervision over the reguler watchmenof the night, and as the moment of their presence in various parts of the district,is unknown, the whole department, together with the midnight prowlers, are kept continually on the alert. In addition to this, a spirit of emulation is ereated between the watchmen and the officers that must produce a most salutary effect, as they will vie with each other in being the first to detect crime. We hail this movement with approbation, knowing as we do that it has received the sanction of the Watch and Police Committee as well as all those members of both Boards of Aldermen who have been consulted. Let it be extended until every watch district in the éity is supplied with a night pa- trol, and our own knowledge and experience fully justifies us in the assertion that the most beneficial results will be produced. A circumstance took plaee on Monday that practically illustrates it. A servant girl was sent trom a dwelling to obtain some beer tor the use of the inmates, and in her hurry she ne- glected to close the door of the house. A watchman verceived it and on her return broke out in pretty strong expressions as tollowe:— od woman, when you leave the house to go of an errand you should always close the door after you as a rogue might have walked in while you were absent, end then old Matsell and his new patrol would have been down upon me like a dose of shot for negleet of duty.” This in itself conveys the new spirit that has been recently created. May it proaper. Nothing of importance transpired yesterday at either of the Police’Offices. A German named Aw- gustus Khode was arrested for attempting to pase @ counterfeit sixpence of his own manutacture upon Michael Wogan, of 412 Broadway. It being the second time he had tried to pase the piece, he wee iully committed for trial.
