— ‘Tue Heavrn or rae Crry—Sanrrary Measures— Dr. Gnisoom’s Revorr.—We have seldom read any official document with se much pleasure, as that which we have derived from the perusal of the report of Dr. Griseom, the City Inspector. This gentleman’s report is throughout characterized by singulargood sense, sound judgment, and an earnest zeal for the wellare of ns fellow-citizens. We would be altogether inexcusable were we to neglect directing the most careful attention of the public to the important facts and suggestiens presented so forcibly by Dr. Griseom, and we therefore intend to make his report the subject of one or two articles. The mortality of the last year, in the city, was Jess than the year preceding. After all due allow- ances, with respect to the character of its popula- tion, have been made, the salubrity of our city, when compared with that of the other large cities of the Union, appears in a very favorable light. The deaths by consumption—that so fatally prevalent disease—have been in proportion to those by all other causes, as 1 to8-136—a greater exemption than is given to Philadelphia, which has been estimated as more exempt than Boston from this disease, It is gratifying to find that in the number of deaths by diseases of the digestive organs, a diminution of nearly two hundred from the account of the previ- ous'year, is apparent. The arrangement of diseases adopted by Dr. Gris- com, in his copious and valuable tables, is with a slight modification, that adopted by the Register- General of England, in his reports of the mortality ot that kingdom, and was also employed by Mr. Shattuck in giving an interesting exposé of the vital statistics of the city of Boston. I: appears to ap- proach more nearly to a truly scientific classifica- tion than any other hitherto observed, und is well adapted for the exhibition or connection with each other, of the deaths by diseases of similar charac- ter. Another important recommendation of this mode is, that it affords great facilities for the insti- tution of comparisons of the relative salubrity of different countries and sections, and their greater Jiability to, and exemption from, any particular claes of disorders. One of the most prominent causes of disordered health and of death in this city, is the imperfect ventilation, or rather total want of ventilation, of a vast proportion of the dwellings. It is almost im- possible to exaggerate the moral and physical evils which have their origin here. Dr. Griscom has made this the subject of attentive examination, and the suggestions which he offers on this point, are eminently forcible and just. He reprobates, in strong aod pointed terms, that most pernicious and prevalent practice of keeping schools for young children in under-ground basements of dwellings and churches. It is really most melancholy to re- flect on the condition of the multitudes of children, who are thus, day after day, consigned to these damp, dark cellars, shut out almost altogether from the light, and wholly deprived of the pure air of heaven, and exposed to the noxious exhalations of these vaults. It is entombing them in a living grave, for we really know not in what respects these horrible basements of the churches differ from the adjacent chernel-houses. Most heartily do we re-echo the sentiments of Dr. Griscom where he says, that “such seminaries should be avoid-d by every parent, as they value the health and safety of their offspring.” The remarks of Dr.Griscom on the squalid mi- sery and fatal disease, which prevail to such alarm- ing extent amongst the wretched cellar population, and the remedial and preventive measures which he suggests, will furm the subject of another article. More or Tae Somers Tracepy.—Every day, it appears, furnishes us with fresh developments, by way of adding to the melo-dramatic effect of this sad tragedy of the seas. We have had the colts and the cats—and the cheers for the Supreme Being, and the highly original episode of the ‘‘ bags’””—and now we have additional evidence of the character of the chief actor in this affair, in the testimony respecting his reading the letters of Mrs. Spencer to the crew of the brig. This is positively sicken- ing. Bat itis true that om the Sunday following the execution of the unfortunate Spencer, and when the unfathomable waters, like a broad, unsculp- tured tomb, had closed for ever over his boyish fol- lies and lamentable fate, we find this Commander McKenzie assembling his crew, and reading aloud to them, with a running commentary—whose tone and character no one can surely be at any loss to imagine—the letters of a mother to that ill-starred son! Such a sacrilegious invasion of universally venerated right—of ruthless trampling under foot of the most hallowed feelings of humanity—of wan- ton disregard of sentiments which are cherished in barbarian breasts, and mollify the rude natures ef even the most savage tribes— is almost incredible. We have heard of gross indignities perpetrated on the mangled corses of murdered men—we have read of envenomed hate which has exhumed the bones and ashes of the dead, in order to wreak on them its insensate contumely—but never have we heard of a man, who, after executing another, whether right- eously or no, we now care not, could invade the sanctity of a mother’s letter, and read it to acrowd, exposing to vulgar years that mother’s words of yearning love; and, infamy on infamy! seeking to make them cover with disgrace the memory of her son. But it is unnecessary, and, indeed, we have not the heart, to add another word on this outrage. It presents anexhibition of character and feeling which can excite but one universal sentiment, and will never be forgotten. Smatt Pox —This malignant and fearful disease is alarmingly prevalent in many parts of the Union. Vaccination has been of late years performed in an exceedingly careless manner, in many instances, and much spurious matter has been employed.— Some physicians think that the introduction from England some time since, of a quantity of matter taken directly from the cow, and which was com- paratively inert, has had a very injurious tendency. But we believe that the carelessness of the innocu- lator has been the chief cause of the failure of vac- cination as a preventive of the small pox. We know of one remarkable instance of gross decep- tion perpetrated by a druggist in this city, who of- fered his services to all who desired to be vaccina- ted. His supply of vaccine matter becoming ex- hausted, the scoundrel] actually innoculated a sailor with soft soap, and received his customary fee of one dollar for the disgraceful operation. Such ex- treme cases as this we must hope, for the honor of the profession, are rare; but there can be no ques- tion that greater care is required on the part of me- dical practitioners, in the performance of this very important operation, than has heretofore been ob- served. Inreresting Work —The respectable firm of Appleton & Co. have nearly ready for publication, that extremely interesting work entitled “ Mis sionary Enterprise inthe South Sea Islands,” with upwards ot twenty elegant plates and maps. John Williams, the author, who was murdered by the South Sea Islanders, was a man of remarkable talent, and the value and interest of his york may be estimated by the fact that thirty-seven thousand copies were sold in England. The work will be issued in two octavo volumes of nearly six hundred pages each, at 374 cents per volume. It!will be tound for sale at the Herald Literary Depot. Tuk Mitten Case.—Some interesting testi- mony Was elicited yesterday relative to the $20,000 note, that has provably been the foundation of all the difficulty between the parties. A full report will be found in to-day’s paper ——. Memaen or Conaress.—It is thought from the re- turns, that the Hon. R. Barnwell Rhett has been elected from the seventh district of S. Carolina. BuenosAyres . (Correspondence of the Herald.} Buenos Ayres, Dec. 24, 1842. Highly Important Intelligence-- Battles and Blockades, Commerce and Navigation. Dagar Bennerr— As your paper is now generally considered abroad as the Great Western Fountain of the World’s news, I transmit to you the most recent political in- formation in this quarter. Gen. Oribe defeated the President of the Banda Oriental Fructuoso Rivera on the 6th inst. in a pitch- ed battle, at the Anoyo Grande, a tributary of the Gualoquay, in Eutrerios, after one of the hardest fought battles in this country since the days of the renowned San Martin. About 17,000men were en- guged, nearly equally divided, Oribe, however, had acerps d’reserve of 3000 men that did not enter into the aetion. Rivera, after choosing his position, threw up breast werks, planted his artillery and in- fantry, and awaited the attack with full confidence of victory. The infantry of Oribe were the first to engage—they marched up with the coolness of Eu- ropean veterans, within half musket shot of the ene- my’s breast-works, in the face of a tremendous fire of grape and cannister, and carried them by storm, taking all the ammunition, baggage, and 1000 pri- seners. The slaughter was dreadful. Oribe lost about 1500 men, and several valuable officers, pri cipally in this assault. Gen. Pacheco, commandi: the right wing of Oribe’s arm a masterly move- ment with his cavalry, eng the enemy at dis- advantage, and routed them with great slaughter, sored 10,000 horses. About 3000 men were killed on both sides. besides many officers of rank. Of the prisoners taken 99 were ues, who were immediately put to death—it 1s a by separating the head from the body with knives hacked into a cies of saw, the ordinary way of cutting the roat not exciting sufficient terror. Oribe’s orders are to put to death all foreigners, without distinction, taken in arms against this Republic, ‘This news on reaching Montevideo caused a gene- ral cessation of all business, and many failures have already been reported, and many more will, no doubt, follow soon. It was immediately declared under martial law and entrenchments are now being thrown up round the city. Gen. Par (formerly at the head of the army of Corrientes) is there and or- ganising an army of 6000 men for its detence, but it will all do no good—Montevideo must fall. _ That city, with scarce a rival incommercial pros. perty—unparallelled in modern times for its rapid rowth, having increased from 25,000 to 50,000 in- abitants within the last five years, and possessing nearly half as much specie capitalas the city of New York—that city, in all its glory, must fall—together with numbers of its principal merchants and resi- dents—a prey to political opinion or, rather to_grati- y our worthy Governor’s opinion, Don Juan Mani le Rosas, that his friend Oribe can rule the Orien- bey more to his mind than the man of their choice —Rivera. Admiral Brown is preparing to leave this with the Goverament squadron, consisting of eleven vessels, with the view of blockading Montevideo, and itis said he istaking on board mortars and shells to bombard. S Gen. Oribe is supposed to have entered the Orien- tal State in full march for the capital, at the head of the grand army of the Republic, while Pacheco, with a division, is supposed to have fallen upon Corientes, _ Some 12 or 15 American vessels have recently ar- rived at Montevideo. Flour is selling there at $5 per bbl. onboard, and dull at that. Great losses must en- sue to traders to the River Platte this year. Here we have to Ugh 30 to 35 Spanish dollars per bbl. at retail. Our Government is bent on protecting the home wheat-raisers and the general introduction of carniverous instead of gramnivorous diet (and it thaps makes better soldiers) that we foreigners ave to pay dearly for the luxury of bread. Our crop of wheat, however, promises very fair. As 1 am pressed for time I raust leave for another oper tunity. Your friend, H. U. M. Sarit Later rrom GuataMala.—We are indebt- edto the “* Gaceta Oficial” to the 20th ult. for the following shipping and commercial informa- ton :— Besides the entries and clearances to and from Belize atthe port of Ysabal, Omoa, and Truxillo, there are vessels trading between Ysabal and the Havana, Jamaica, the United States, and different parts of Europe, and also between San Juan de Ni- caragua and those places, and in the South Sea b tween Punta Arenas, Realejo, La Union, Concha- gua, Acajutla, Libertad, and Iztapa, and Europe; Valparaiso, Callao, Guayaquil and Mazatlan. The Fairs held in Chalatenango, San Vicente, and San Miguel, in the State ot San Salvador, in No- vember and December last, were well attended, and it istsaid that the business done there was good and considerable, although the South Sea vessels that used to go to the Union had not arrived last year. . i Merchants from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Hondu- ras and Guatemala, sold ee of geods at fair ices, which till then, had little or no demand, and jad been much reduced. The Fairs of Esquipulas, which commenced on the 6th, and was to close on the 15th ult., was supposed to have been well at- tended, there having been introduced large quanti- ties of goods from Belize. % From all the data that could be acquired, the har- vest of Indigo in San Salvador has been 5,000 se- roons ot 150 lbs. each, at six anda half reals per pound. This produce is much cultivated in Nicara gua, and the crop there is calculated to be about Coton a ales fi ing, from the facili ‘otton is, al ‘ast progressing, from the facility there now is of detaching the seeds by machinery, established in Chinandega. aw, The Coffee of Costa Rica, whose good quality is acknowledged in the markets jof Europe, is toler- ably cultivated, and considerable exportation’ are made of it. The Cochineal ‘of Guatemala tor the last year, of which there was avery bad harvest, is calcu- lated to be 4500 seroons ot 150 Ibs. each. There are several other articles enperied from the ports of the Nerth as well as South Sea, which, al- though taken singly, are of small importance ; in the aggregate form, no mean branch of commerce. ‘With respect to internal commerce the most im- portant branch is cattle. There are annually ex- ported frem Nicaragua from ten to fourteen thou- sand head, and from Honduras about fifteen thou- sand—the greater part of which goes to Guatemala, and the rest remains in the State of San Salvador, principally in the departments of Santa Anna and Sonsonate. A large quantity of woollen stuffs is manufactured and consumed in the country. Mules and horses also form an impertant branch of internal com- merce. 4 In conclusion, it gives us pleasure to notice that the insolvencies which were so frequent and ruin- ous last year, have ceased; that confidence is being restored; nd the movements of business and activi- ty are manifest throughout all sections of the Re- public. All that are required are peace, good order, economy in expenses, and in a few years Central America will recover what she lost in the unfortu- Low disturbances, which are the cause of her mis- ortunes. Late From Port av PLatre.—Captain Matthews, of the schooner Erie, arrived yesterday morning in thirteen days from Port au Platte, reports that up to the time of his sailing, nothing was known there of the insurrection at Aux Cayes. Tux Srreets.—Our attention has been called to the almost impassable state of many of the streets in the Fifteenth Ward, in consequence of the great accumulation of ice and snow in the gutters. Eighth street is in a {most shocking condition, and it is really a serious enterprise to attempt to pass through it in any vehicle. Are the street contrac- tors bound, or are they not, to remedy this state of things? If they are not, some means should be taken torender the streets in this quarter passable without the risk of serious accidents.

Office Seekers and their Rewards—Legislative Pro- ceeding s—Balle—and the Weather. No more New York appointments since the last I sent you. There is quite a stir in this city, owing to the delay in regard to the city appointments; but the fact is, there are so many candidates, and so much competition, that the Governor is sadly puz- zled whom to select, partieularly as the candidates 1u this city have more opportunity to bore him than those from other portions of the State. There are no less than some half dozen men, who are each quite certain that he is to be flour inspector. The prospect continues quite slim for an early ad- journment. Talking and not working, continues to be the order of the day. In the Senate near a week has been consumed in the discussion of the bill in- troduced i Mr, Faulkner, to aid in the construc- tion of the New York and Erie Railroad. Enoch Strong, the chairman of the select com- mittee, compssed of the New York delegation, to whom had been referred the petition praying for the abrogation of all laws for the collection of debts, re- ported adversely, The best of the joke was, that old Enoch,not choosing to wait for the committee to get together, bed: drawn ipa report himself, got ree members to sign it, and then reported it to the house as the result of the deliberations of a commit- tee of 14. The house refused to print it. To-morrow evening will be given the second of the quadrille parties at Congress Hall. These are the most exclusive and select affairs you can ima- gine, and there are great exertions made among the small fry to obtain invitations. It quite equals in its exclusiveness the far famed Almacks. Regency Hall is certainly one of the prettiest saloons in the country. Congress Hall is in the head quarters of the regency, and the old Eagle Tavern is quite shorn ofitsglory. _ - The religious excitement is still in full blast, and the number of converts, so-far from diminishing, is daily on the increase. You can have no idea to whatan extent it pervades among us, reaching all grades and classes of society. The weather has grown milder, and there is now every prospect of a thaw. Simon. From Axsany.—From Pullen and Copp, and Pomeroy and Co., we have received Albany papers of yesterday morning. From the latter also we have Rochester and Utica papers thirty-six hours in ad- vance of the mail. [From Albany Evening Journal, Feb. 23} The Assembly were.engaged during the whole of to-day’s session in an earnest and excited debate upon the bill altering the tenure and diminishing the number of the Bank Commissioners. The die- cussion was continued, without any question bein) taken, up to the hour of adjournment.—The chie! point in issue isthe proposed change in the ‘mode of appointing these officers. One division of the ma- jority insist upon taking away this power from the Governor and Senate. The other is equally strenu- ous for keeping the power where it now 1s. Mr. Speaker Davis heads the latter faction, and Mr. L. Sherwood of Madison, is among the most prominent leaders of the former. No other news. City Intelligence. Fmr Comranms Dispanpep.—By the proceed- ings of the Common Council last evening, it will be perceived that Engine Companies No. 12 and7, in the Fourth ward, were disbanded on account of differences among the members of each company ; also, Engine Company No. 39, for improper con- duct of members about the engine-house. The members of Engine Companies No. 27 and 34 were struck from the roll ot the department; and Engine Companies No. 10 and 87, were also disbanded, for fighting and rioting. Cuarce or Constructive Larceny.—Isaac H. Mead, of 98 Eldridge street, tallow chandler, com- mission merchant, &c., was arrested yesterday afternoon, and held to bail in the eum of $500, on a charge of conetructive larceny. Mr. Robert C. Burdell entered the complaint against him, to the following effect:—That a few days since, Mead called upon him to borrow $75, when he drew his check for that purpose, but recollecting that he had some uncurrent money, asked Mead if that would not euit him as well. He assented, and the money was paid. Yesterday, he ascertained frem his brother that the check for $75 that he had drawn to give to Mead, had been presented to him by a person who had received it from Mead, and that he had cashed it. Mead was therefore arrested, and disposed of, us above mentioned, on the charge of taking the check in an improper manner, which is legally set down as constructive larceny. Tux County Courr assembles this afternoon to hear and pass upon the charge alleged against Dr. Jackson, by the Medical Society of this city, for creating an abortion, for which he was punished by imprisonment ‘in the City Prison. It requires the sanction of the County Court before he can be ex- pelled from the society. Qg- A Firg occurred at one o’clock this morning, which entirely consumed store No. 112 South street, occupied by Mr. Armstrong as a grocery. We were unable to learn further particulars. Bacoace Smasuer.—A black fellow named John Hunt, who says he isa body servant to some Lieu- tenant inthe Army or the Navy, was arrested yes- terday morning, about one o’clock, by officer Bliss, on a charge of stealing a valise containing clothing, &c. valued at $47, being the property of Horace A. Manchester, of Providence, R.1I, who came pas- senger in ‘the railroad line from Philadelphia the sameevening. The valise and contents were re- covered through the exertions of officer Bliss, and the black thief was sent to prison. A Man Rossen tna Strancg Bep.—Vernon Bar- low, of No.9 Washington street, was coaxed out of his path of duty on poder i ht, by one of the frail rapes the eae (on my and iro | street, ant iu asleep in some rasca! id in. and preked his pockets of Tour eagles valued at $40. A Five Point loafer, named Samuel Dewint, having endeavored to change an eagle at Corwin’s porter house, 150 Anthony street, he was arrested and committed on the charge. A Corngr’s Toors.—Officer J. S, Smith, of the upper police, while searching the house formerly oc- cupied by James Shepherd, the counterfeiter, a few days since, found a number ot moulds for coinii twenty-five and ten and five cent pace Shephe: will be tried to-day in the United States Court, and this additional evidence will kelp him towards the State prison. Exsoant Purassotocy.—The editor of the Bos- ton Post calls the London Standard “ a blackguard English newspaper.” — Mutatonomine, de te fabula narratur. Great Atrraction.—The performances at the Olympic Circus to-night, will be for the benefit of ‘officers B. F. Tompkins and H. Getchell, and will be of the most attractive character. An overflow: ing house may be anticipated. Cnatuam TuzaTre.—The deeply interesting play of the “Forged Will,” is announced for this eve- ning, with other pieces of a like excellent charac- ter. The success of this theatre over every other establishment of the kind in this city, must be truly gratifying to the lovers of genuine dramatic per- formances. The efforts of the manager meet a becoming response from the public, who nightly crowd the house to excess, and manifest their ap- probation by repeated outbursts of applause. In Bankruptcy. U. 8.

The Court convened pursuant to adjournment, and the journal was read. The Judge Advocate then went into a cross examination of the witness Joseph Sears, as to the occurrences on board the Somers at the time of the sway- ing of the mast, the threatening to fire a pistol atthe crew, the explanations of the oflicer of the deck, andthe arrest of Cromwell. On the latter point the following questions and answers appear to be important :— Q—Did you hear any thing said about rescuing Mr. Spencer? "4 —Wellair, 1think heard some of the boys say that Cromwell and Small woul! be arrcsted as soon as they came down trom uloft. Q by Jopce Apvocatz—You don’t seem to understand my question young man. Putthatdown. Now my ques- tion was, did you hear the crew talk of rescuing Mr. Spencer? ‘Wirness—Well, sir, I heard no such talk. In reply to other questions, witness that Spencer never spoke to him about any arresting. That Willson got the dirk from McKiniey, who got it on the Coast of Alri- ca, Henever saw Mr. Spencer drunk at breakfast time on board the brig, or about. By the Accuskp—Did the Commander when he read the letters found in Mr. 8’slocker, also read a letter from Small’s mother? A—Yees, sir, Q—Vo Hay recollect if the Commander then said any thing to the crew asto his object in reading those letters of which you havespoken? A—He said he would read those lettersto shew the cheracter of the} your an who had either led them astray or tried to Jead them astray. Q-—Did he say any thing further Juror Apvocats—Well, I should like to know if you propose to read the contents of those letters ? Mr. Sepgwicx—No: weonly propose to show his object in reading them. Qby @ Accusep—Do you recollect any comments made by the Commander ?

Q by the ‘Acevacp—The Judge Advocate has asked you if you and Cromwell were good friends. State why you were not so. Witxvss—One ey Mr. Gansevoort ordered the carpen- ter t> come to me and go below and break out some wood. He then went into a story of a quarrel between himself and Cromwell which has been before reported, Q—Do you know it the object of the Commander in roe those jetters was to restore the crew to their du- t A—It was his object. Sergeant Garry, the Master at Arms, was next called, and went over again with great minuteness the same testi- mony as ieprinted in the flerald in the report of tne &h and 9th days of the sittings of the Court of Enquiry. On his cross-examination he gave the following, amon; much that is unmportant—Never heard Cromwell t Mr. Spencer that a sessel would cost $5,000; don’t know who was Ks when Spencer was told he hed better go in the army; first told of the conversations I had with Spen- cer to the first Lieutenant, the night of the arrest of Spen- cer; Wales never told me at any time of his statement, but Theard him read it from a beok on the quarter deck; first told of the conversation [ had with Spencer to Mr Ganse- voort, in the ward room, about twenty minutes after Mr. Spencer was ironed; heard what he was ironed for, but eannot tellfrom whom. I first stood guard over Spencer on the night of the 27th; only saw one man with h.s head and all in the bag, and that was McKee, It was after we left St. Thomas. Adjourned to Thursday.

AT A NUMEROUS MEETING OF THE PER- sonal friends of Mr. Cuas. F. Mivver, and the citizens of all denominations, convened at the School-houre at Little Falls, New Jersey, on Tuesday evening, of the 15th March, 1842, to express their opinions of the extraordi- nary circumstances attending the separationof his wife from him—John R. Nafie, Esq., was chosen President, and Jno. J. Stagg appointed Secretary : when the following persons (viz) : er. Wyckoff, Peter G. Speer, aud Dr. Charles T. Van Winkle, were selected to draft resolu- tions expressive of the sentiments of this meeting, who, after retiring a short time, returned and submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, viz :— Resolved, 1st, That in all the relations of an intimate and business intercourse with us, we hi ever esteemed Mr. Charles F. Miller worthy in every way our conf- dence and friendship. Resolved, 2nd, That during a residence among us of six or seven years, he has distinguished himself by those traits that rocosamend him toour regard as « good neigh: bor, @ generous and ited cempanion, and the earnest and able advocate of every social and moral virtue Resolved, 3rd, That as he lived in the midst, and was in daily intercourse with us, we deem it not only becom- ing, but imperative on us, as his fellow-citizens, to express in terms, not to be controverted, our hearty approbation of his eral conduct in all the relations of life; and that the uniform demeanor of Mrs. Miller has been such at all times as to induce universal respect and esteem for her. Resolved, 4th, That we view with utter surprise and ret, the apparently unjust and unprecedented course token by the friends of Mrs. Miller be itn her mind, and sever her from the society and protection of her husband. Resolved, 5th, That we consider the charges and impu- tations . Miller entirely unfounded and untrue; and, while we refuse to entertain them to his injury, we consider that they indicate on the part of those who assert and maintain them, the absence of that careful regard for another's mn, which leaves their own motives li- able to a just suspicion. Resolved, 6th, Thas as citizens and freemen, we are dstermined by all honorable, fair, and manly efforts to e, protect, and perpetuate our civil and domestic relations against the combined influence of wealth and fa- mily distinctions. Resolved, 7th, That the magnanimous and ingenuous conduct of the citizens of Sing Sing, N. ¥., manifested by the resolutions adopted at a public mecting on the 3d inst., in behalf of our fellow-citizen, Mr. Charles F. Miller, merits our sincere thanks, and deserves our warmest gra- titude. Resolved, 8th, That copies of the foregoing resolutions be signed by the President ani Secretary, and forwarded to Mrs. Miller and Mr. Miller, and published in all the newspapers friendly tothe sentiments l.

Mr. Everett submitted an amendment, jto the effect that it shall be the duty of the commander of each of the vessels to be stationed on the African coast, to visit all vessels on the coast, or within one hundred leagues thereof, which he may have good reason to believe are American, and engaged in the slave trade, for the sole pu: of ascertaining whether they be American. If they be American, the commander shall take note of their names, the date at which they were visited, and the reasons therefore, and report the same to the Navy Depart- ment He asserted, in the course of his remarks, that the part of the treaty relating to the African coast, would be inefficient without this amendment.

The annual.charge on the State debt has thus been increased $220,000 since lest year, when the deficit was 117,000. The dependence for all this are the caral tolls, which have been as follows since 1838 :— on hatin: Pomnk, 1841 4 mon 1990, 433, 78,601 1841, ino, atiae 72612 1942, 387. 58,460 Here is a gradual falling off of near $60,000 in four years, making a difference of $280,000 deficit between decreasing means and increasing debt of the State. Pennsylvania is an instance ef the result. The recent attempts in this country to make the public lands availablo, either to raise money, by borrowing on them, or directly, asthe security for a paper money, bear a very strong affinity to the causes of the creation of the French assignats of the revelution. It may be useful to recount the progress of that bubble. The enormous speculations in the United States, prompted by the banks, prior to 1836, produced all the consequences of adisastrous war upon the prosperity of the country. The armies of speculators and laborers upon the public works devoured the substance and deranged the trade of the country. Besides the immense private loans, they invelv- ed government expenses—city, State and federal—of near $290,000,000. The amount of loans during the five years embracing the late war was $107,160,002, showing that the expenses of bank-born speculation was 180 per cent more than the expenses of a three years’ war with the most powerful nation of modern times. The national ex- haustion and debt consequent upon this has caused greely speculators and desperate politicians to turn their attention to the public lands asa resource. They are now arrived atthe same point attained hy the National Assembly of France, in March, 1790, scarcely ten months from the first resistance to the royal authority. At that timethe finances of the government had fallen into a confusion similar to that which is now overtaking the federal government here. According to Calonne, the extravagant minster who succeeded Neckar, the national debt of France wes as follows :— £.3,002,000,000 $462,875, Ane! Tauioowme S65 Tare0 Increase, 1,239,000 000 $332,252,500 At this point the national credit and revenue were nearly exhausted. In this state of affairs, Talleyrand proposed the application ofthe church property and pub. lic domain to the State necessities, in the same manner that the public lands are now sought to he diverted to the use ofthe State creditors, and for the same reasons, viz: that the “Church (federal government) was not pro. prietor, but depository of the estates.” The sale of these lands was finally decreed to the extent of $80,000,000. It
