NEW YORK HERALD, | New York, Monday, August 14, 1843. QQ Aliietiers on busimess with this office, and communications intended for insert.on, must be addressed as heretolore to James Gonvon Banner, «ditor and proprietor of the New York Herald. A New Way To Pay Op Dinrs—Pouprerte aNnp “Pewrer.”-Anthony Dey’sschedule of debts, which we some time since published, was as rich a brochure as we would wish to see on a summer's day, not even exvepting the 2lst of June ; but the mode | which he proposes to liquidate them is the most | novel and the most laughable on record. We are | not desirous to expose ourselves to the tender mer- cies of the libel law, and therefore we shall allow | the terms to be stated in the words of a circular, which has been sent to his many long suffering cre- | ditors, as follows :— , | Richard Dey proposes to pay the debt which An- | thoney Dey owes you and his other creditors, with all reasonable despatch, in the following manner :— Tf you will advance in cash a sum equal to the face of the debt owing to you, you shall receive Poudrette of the first quality, in barrels, at the rate of $2 per barrel, as fast as it can be made and de- Jivered in New York ; and when ready for delivery, you are to pay the money and assign the debt to | Richard Dey. ria f The arrangement of receiving part money is ab- solutely necessary, in order to provide a working eapual to carry un the Poudrette Works, and it is impossible tomake payment in any otherway. If Panna is rejected, no other offer can or will be made You are not required to make any advance ot money until the Poudrette is ready to be delivered toveuin New York, so that you ran no risk. ‘The demand for Poudreve is very great for about | of that body w Tux Execrions.—We have no further intelli- gence from North Carolina, by which we could safely say which party has obtained the balance of power by gaining the election inthe third district. Each party has returned four members to Congress, aad it ie not unlikely that the Demoerats will gain the third district, which will throw the balance in their favor. In Tennessee the prospect is favorable to the Whig party, whose success in the State elec- tion of Legislators would give them two United States Senators, by whom the political complexion be determined, The Baltimore Clipper contains ‘ie fullest returns we have yet seen ofthe votes given for the Governor of this State, as follows :— Counties. Jones, (W.) Counties. Polk, (Dem) Davidson, 533 Sumner. (986 Wilhamson, 1000 Dickson, 300, Wilson, 1349 Maury, ‘379 Rutherford, eras Hickman, 636. Robertson, 439 — Bedford, 30 2281 Lawrence, 6 3676 2281 1395 In the above counties, in 1841, when Mr. Polk was defeated by upwards of 2.000 votes, his mejori- ty was93 But as the counties have since been differently apportioned, it is difficult to make a fair comparison. The Whig papers state that the above majority will be reduced by it gome 300 or 400 votes é “Reported a Whig gain in the Legislature, in Bedtord county, and a Democratic gain én Law- rence. 'Cave Johnson (Dem.)’ is supposed to be_ elected.” General Jackson, it appears, lert all his aid to Polk, but his influence effected but little. Of the election of the members of Congress, and of the 4 months in the year, namely, from February and | March until July ; and if the proposition now offer- ed is generally accepted, means will be devised to | facilitate a sale of the article by a Commissien Mer chant, for those persons who cannot conveniently | make sale tor themselves. As itis important to know whether you will or will not accede to this preposition, an answer in writing is requested on or before the 15h dav of August next, directed “To Richard Dey, care of Anthony Dey, No. 43 Liberty street, New. York.” If no answer is received, it will be considered that you reject the offer now made you. Now, what will Sally, the family cook, eay to this? She stands in the schedule for $18, for supplying aliment for the physical man, and if she will only aid Richard Dey in raising the wind, by consenting to advance $13 more, she shall receive back that | which she furnished, done up in lime, after it has changed its form, and furnished putriment to An- thony Dey, and acquired some very productive qualities. Physic for Poudrette mey be a legitimate transaction, for the former so productive of the latter, and for George Thorburn’s seeds, it may be found a suitable equivalent. But for butter and bibles, tuition and tallow, to pay in Poudrette is not “the clean thing.” Anthony Dey proves his piety by payments of Poudrette. He fructifies the earth and furbiches uj his spiritual armour by the same means; or in other words, he produces crops, cur- rency, credit, and a clear conscience. If any one “turns up his nose” at this species of payment, he is most assuredly no creditor of Anthony Ney. State Legislature, we have as yet little intelligence. From Kentucky our returns are not very definite. Iu the Louisville District, Mr. Sprigg, who lost one of his ears ina drunken brawl at Washington last | winter, and now runs on his own hook, or asa ** nondescript,” as he is termed at home, has re- ceived very few votes indeed. He was returned to the last Congress asa whig.

In the Dearborn District, the election turned wholly on local questions. ‘‘ Division and Re-location,” were the watchwords. Common Councti.—The Board of Aldermen meet this afternoon at five o'clock, when, if a quorum Tue Hon. N. P. Tartmaner.—The papers are circulating the story that the Hon. N. P. Tallmadge has purchased land in Taycheedah, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, and will there fix his residence. One Journal says—‘‘Besides Mr. Tallmadge, we learn that a number of prominent citizens of the Southern District of New York—some of whom reside in this city—have made arrangements in oon- junction with Mr. T. to emigrate to Wisconsin, and settle in one vicinity. Of this emigrating party Mr. ‘Tallmadge appears to have become the pioneer; and before the expiration of a year, he will probably be joined by his colleagues in this enterprise. Wedo not feel at liberty to mention names, but the infor- mation we have upon the subject warrants us in pre- dicting that afew months will find settled at Fond du Lac County, Wisconsm, some dozen or twenty families which have for many years held high sta- tions in New York city and State, and who will take with them to the weetern wilds some wealth,but much more talent, accomplishment, and influence. Most of the heads of these families are celebrated in political and financial circles throughout the Union, and their re-union in Wisconsin will doubtless exer- cise a vast influence upon the present and prospec- tive destinies of that growing territory. Thatsuch shall be the effect of their emigration, is at least in- tended by Mr. Tallmadge and his associates; and | we do not know that we trespass upon confidence, (we are sure we do not upon truth,) in adding that one great aim of this company of distinguished emi- grants, is the political and financial control of what will, in a few years, be the rich, populous and influe ential State of Wisconsin.” | It would be a wiser act in Mr. Tallmadge «nd his friends to try to better their fortunes than to emi- grate, ashere stated, simpiy for the acquisition of | political power in the rising State of Wisconsin. | | Tue “ Resrecrapce Turrenny-’—The poor ex- | piring American—once a big, bouncing, aristocratic | *ixpenny, which mortally hated and despised the useful penny-press—can now look down upon the cheap prees no longer, for it is reduced to its last canbe brought together, Alderman Emmons in- tends to bring forward his new ordinance in which he boldly introduces the pruning knife of “‘Reform and Retrenchment.” He intends that the public shallbe served at less expense than hitherto by men holding offices, whose salaries are numbered by the thousand, as well as by the hundred dollars, and that useless sinecures shall be wiped from the list of grievances. The working man ought to be paid a reasonable price, but if it is necessary to re- trench, then the prominent publie servant must con- tribute his share, as well as the humble clerk or street sweeper. The debate will be a most interest- ing one, and will no doubt create quite a sensation among the thousand and one office holders, who may be legitimate subjects for the knife. Gentle. men use it boldly, discreetly and fairly, and though individuals may at first grumble, yet the body of your constituents will view your efforts at retrench- ment with an approving eye, and each vote disin- terestedly given, will, at the proper time, be by them remembered favorably. This will be the last session of the Board previous to the summer recess, many ef the members-having already left cown with their families to enjoy the delicious retirement of the country, where for a week or two they may forget | petitions, reports, and perplexing ordinances, and be tree for once from the never-ending torments of claimants for office. City Intelligence. Steamsoat Rowseny.—This class of rogues swarm in our Empire City, and systematically carry on their operations. Every steambeat arriving and departing has its gang, whose business it is to carry off every ‘ay coat, umbrella, or trunk, which they can lay their honds on—and in nine cases out of ten the ras- cals make good their exit, in the confusion and hurry, without being discovered; and nothing further is heard of the missing article until, perchance, it is {discovered among the plunder found on the premises of one of the gang, and is advertised among the Police news, when the owner stands some slight chance of recovering it.— Thereare now lying at the Police Office, cloaks and coats of various descriptions and sizes, recovered by the stratagem, to support a feeble and worthless exist- ence. We do, however, think the old clo’man the | murderer of so many poor unfortunate journals, that | were entrusted to his management, does in the fol- lowing paragraph, give the poor American “the most unkindest cut” of all. Our bowels of com- passion yearn for them both, and with our bit of cambrie, we wipe away from our lett eye the tear { of pity which the spectacle which these two wor- | thies now present, has extracted. Hear the Jew as | he speaks through the columns of his last victim— { the Sunday Times :— “ There is a spiteful paragraph in the American of Sa turday against me which I have not read, seldom seeing that respectable tuppenny. The American has not vita- | lity enough to die with deceney—scarcely strength left totakethe last snuff of sal volarile, id what is the most deplorable, without power even to be impudent.” | * Respectable tuppenny.”” Good e’vings ! {cg The Eastern Argus, and many other country papers, publish an account of the less of the schoo- ner Ohio, of Newport, R. 1, as from the New York Gommercial Advertiser, and it is true that the Ad- vertiser published the statement, as did the New York Courier and Enquirer ; but with their high- | flown pretensions to honesty, and rectitude, and | fair dealing, they should have given credit to the New York Herald, ia which the story was originally published. Those editors of course would pot defile | themselves by reading the Herald, or their papers | by transferring our correspondence into their co- | jumne—and yet singularly enough, they take our | orrespondence. Bah! | Nrm.o’s —To-night the attractive and talented Revels appear in ‘* Godenski,” a very amusing bal- let pantomime, in which Gabriel and the whole company perform a skating scene. We doubt if the | celebrated Skating Saloon,with the artificial ice,now | establi-hed in London, be half as natur. jor amusing as that of the Ravels to be seen this ¢ vening. Ga- briel’s misfortunes, in learning to skate, are enough | to deter any one from acquiring the art. The never tiriog pantomime of ‘* Mazulme” concludes, which seems to run jin the inverse order of theatrical pro- | greesion, for the audiences increase nightly as the piece proceeds, Niblo must either stop the panto- | mime or enlarge the Saloon Cuarsam Taratre.—The Brothers E'!ssler take @ benefit at this house to-night, and close their en- gagement, making it the only opportunity the pub- jie will have, for some time at least, of witnessing their w ndertul performances. The managers of this Theatre, by securing talent, in whatever form it may offer, show a disposition to gratify the va- rious tastes of their patrons; and their success in the above instance, proves that they have adopted the correct method of fi their house and their pockefs. To-morrow evening is oct apart for the enefit of the stage manager, Mr. Lennox | landings. ofticers from men arrested for larceny, which were, no doubt, obtained by such means, and pledged—that being the only way in which they can be profitably disposed of without fear ol detection, though it most generally even tuetes otherwise. On Sunday afternoon two fellows named James Wright aud Edward Connolly, made an attempton board the steamboat “New York,” lying at the wharf at the foot of Peck it failed to carry it through successfully. ‘The officers ef the boat having their suspicions, allowed the rascals to go on until one of them, Wright, had in his possession a black frock coat, the property of Robert Roe, of Pearl street, valued at $10, and was in the act of making oft with it when he wasstopped atthe gangway, and at once, together with his partner, Connolly, carried to the Police Office, where they were fally committed, and will be tried on Tuesday ‘next at the Special Sessions. Wright is a confirmed rogue, and escaped from the Penitentiary on Friday last, at the Special Sessions, the witness having ied to appear against him, in a case of a similarnature. This time, however, he 18 likely to get his full deserts. Connolly is not known to the police. On being searched, a list of Gers, supposed to be that of the steamboet “ Kosciusko,” was found on him, the mate of which vessel hod his coat'stolen on the Sunday previons—alao, a certi- fied declaration of citizenship, made out in the name of Atwood McQuirck, dated September 26th, 1842, and sworn to before Liboeus L. Vail, Orange county, in this State, which ha doubt been stolen ; and the recognition, by the owner may, perhaps, lead te a further development of the thefts of these lond-eharks. The day officers sta- tioned by his Honor the Mayor at the several steamboat should be more onthe alert for such annoying depredators, Fuatnen of THe Nassau staext Row —¥ morning, officer Stokely brought up on aw tained on the affidavit of Mr. Billard, the girl Almi: Norman, who figured #0 conspicuously in N: on Friday afternoon.

The Phentx Bank We have received the testimony adduced on Friday, the fifth day of this singular trial, and disclosures of the most astounding character continue to be made. They will have asalutary effect yn the public mind in relation to Banking, as too often purtued in this community, and therefore are less to be regretted. Atthe opening ofthe court on Friday last; Dr. George Bates was recalled for Cross-examination by Mr. Dexter, and he said—* Shortly after the March examination, 1842,1 borrowed $210: of the treasury notes. When the bank failed, my personal liabilities, as orincipal and endorser, were $30,000. For the treasury notes ss my memorandum check, which remained until the blow up of the bank. I did know that Wyman was in the habit of loaning on demend paper, i ‘iting for the action of the board. Atthe cng] ‘ion before magistrates in Charlestown, lered that Mr. Wyman was the bank and the bank was Mr. Wy: His opinion was paramount with the directors, 0 jute was our confidence in him. 1 con- sidered that his honor,hopes, and happiness were bouad upinthe bank. The bank was to him,! thought, asa mother, or wife, or child. In June, 1839,1 returned from Ohio. Wymen was absent. On that account some of the directors ey I Gs to stay in the bank to help Mr. Browne. 1 80. saw in the drawer a note of Stanley, Read & Co. for $12,000 Mr. Browne said, in re- ply to a ques ion by me, that loan was not made by the consent of the directors. I have no doubt that the note was taken upinafew daya, It was on demand. Enoch Baldwin, president ef the Shoe and Leather Dealers’ Bank, testifie) to a loan to Wyman, forthe bank, 20th June, 1842, of $20,000, Wyman said ho had been drawn on’ heavily, and the appropriation bills had not been posed. ‘The’ loan was'ea demand, and.

The $25,000 wouid inglude this ent oan, ar {let him have his Dills back fora day or s0, on his check. Mr. Odiorne also testified that he had known of arrangt- ments with other banks to allow balances to lay over, and interest to be paid to thé holder of the balance Such be- eet would range from $5000 to $30,000 between our city banks. Mr. Bank Commissioner Shove, ene of the gentlemen who were pait ten thousand do! year for watching the baake, and preventing them from acting improperly and illegally, appears to have had some very queer tran:- actions with the Phenix Ba: Dr. Sones Bates, one of the old directors, stated on Tuesday in reply to Mr. Web- er— I remember there were demand notes of Bank Commis- sioner Shove, in March, 1842, to the amount of ,$16,000 or es, [allowed the loan to remain without After the failure | was informed ne had ults of the Phosnix Bank $20,000 of their ajspecial deposite on our account for the $20,000 joaned him. Upon ingniry I found he had made pecial deposite. Our $20,000 he deposited in the tothe credit of the Promix. [have a certificate of the Hamilton Bank tothis effect. Mr. Wy- connected with the navy yard, and was ordina rily in the receipt of treasury notes. Mr. Huntington here put in demand notes of 8. R. & Co, dated 30th April, 1842, end 3ist of May, one for $000 the other for $6,500, which he said he should srgue to the jury were made on the same day, on account of their prec e similarity in many particulars. ‘Then two other notes, May 4th, 1840, for $10,000, and April 18, 1840, for $1,000, with endorsements of interest paid at different times up to 1841. Also two others. July 3ist, 1841, for $12,000, and Aug Bist, 1841, for $5000—perfect twins in clerical execu. tion. James Foster, formerly discount clerk in the American Exchange Bank, N. Y., produced the books of that bank from which it appeared that Mr. Wyman, as president of the Phoenix, had drawn checks in faver of Stanley, Reed & Co.to the amount of $23 000: through the years 1839 °40, and ‘41. They were discounted at the American Ex- change Bank for John Stephens, hop merchant, New Fiske, former president of the Phenix Bank, was frequent in his inquiriesot Wyman. Upto witbin sixty days of the failure, Wyman represented the bank to be perfectly sound, stock above par, and that there was no overdue paper. His confidenee in Wyman continued up to the last day. [Witness went over his share in the con- which followed the explosion.) Wit- question about the cause of the difli- nd Wyman replied, “I should rather not answer s'ion until | have had a chance to consult coun- sel.” Witness then answered, “Well, thea, if you choose to put yourself in that position, 1 will not ask any further questions. Ido not wish tolead you to commit yourself.” Witness, who was solicitor of the bank, said he never knew of any authority given Wyman to borrow money forthe bank. On Monday morning, after we decided not to pay the dividend, we sent for Mr. Wyman. When he arrived at the bank he stopped in the entry up st 1 @ epped out to see if he was coming in. He was stan ing with his face turned towards the ceiling. He was striking his breast, and his eyes were filled with tears. 1 asked him why he did not come in. He sai I cannot meet the directors—I have cheated and deceived them, andI alone am to blame.” I thought when I saw him at first he wasin a fit. to a question by Mr. Dexter, Mr. Fiske stated lirectors of the Phenix Bank had been sued by Captain Joseph Smith andother creditors, for losses sus- tained by the failure of the ba Mr. Huntington now put in various memoranda, from which it appeared that during the years °39, ’40, "41 and 42, treasury notes were entered in different wuys—some- times they were specifically named, at ethers they were merely represented under the sign “‘&c.” He professed to be able to trace them by entries of sums paid and re- ceived for interest, and in this way he ed large amounts into the hands of Stanley, Reed &Uo. This wae inference which, he stated, he meant to argue to the jury. Such other testimony was given by the Directorsand others in ezplanation of the fransantions of this precious concern, and to sustain the case against the pares: and the developments are of the queerest description rc- specting banking operations, and the mode of conducting Bank business. The Reporter for the Boston Post gives the most amusing sketches, and to him we are indebted for what follows, On Tuesday and Wednesday, Mr. Hunnewell, the President of the Phenix ‘was fora long time under examination, and he tolda “plain unvar- nished tale,” until he came to the account of his own transactions with Wyman, when he aang A appeared to become a sort of non mi recordo witness. He testified as follows :— I was indebted $15,000, including a demand note for $3000, to the bank when it breke. The demand note was dated in June, 1842. In this part of the examination, in- stead of answering the questions propounded to him, Mr. Hunnewell manifested adisposition to excutpate himself from imputations, which imagined to be implied in the questions asked. His recollection became very indistinct, and Mr. Wyman, for the first time during the trial, mani fested anxiety. He perceived that Mr. Hunnewell did not remember several incidental matters in reference to his own notes, which have a strong bearing on the point of intercoursebetween Wyman and him, touching cer- tain accommodations, and the exchange of one note for another by Mr. Hunnewell, without consulting the other directors about the operation. He finally testified, that he had received an accommodation of $3000 on his demand note, from Brown, without having it passed upon by the Board. He had been accommodated this way frequently, but he always reported it to the Board at. the first oppor: tunity, exceptin thecase of the 3000 dollars, which he did = communicatetothe directors till some time after- wards. It appears, too, if the report of his evidence is correct, that Mr. Hunnewell was not too conscientious to take ad- situation of the bank, age of his knowledge of th and save a few dollars. He say On Saturday, after it was known there was trouble, I obtained $500 on my check—a part was in Phenix bills and part in other bills. At the time I had a deposite in the bi It was after bank hovrs. I wanted other bills than those of the Phonix Bank. I wanted bills which would not disappoint the person whom I had authorized to draw on me on demand. It will be recollected that in oneof the heme il ex. aminations, before Wyman was bound over for trial, he stated tl first loan to Stanley, Reed & Co. consequencs u interview he had with one of t ™ and John Skinner, at Phillips’s Beach. This story hai been repeated by every witness who has yet testified, but the most graphic description of the interview was given on Thursday, by Dr. Abraham R. Thompson. Wyman his first false step was in consequence of his kind feelings for Mr. John Skinner, whom he had al- ways respected. According to the version of this witness it was Wyman who proposed that the interview should take place at the Beach, to prevent the suspicion which would be aroused if the partres were seen in consultation together in Charlestown. When Wyman persisted in re- fusing the loan for want of authority, Stanley got mad. rose up, walked about the room, and’ said, ‘Damn it, I don’t care then. Let itcomeout where it will.” Mr. Jobn Skinner was standing there, and a soon as Stenley stopped, Skinner said,‘* Wyman, I was in hopes ‘t would dothis. If you dont, the consequences will be ruinousto me,” and burst into tears. Mr. Wyman then said, that when he saw the tears coming down that good old man’s face, with his grey hairs, he could) not stand it and he weat up to him, took him by the hand, Mr. Skinner, I'll do it.” iptions of the scene, the reporter of the Post remarks—" I have heard much in praise of Phillips’s Beach, but never before this trial hadit occur- red to me that its atmosphere was effectual in softening the hearts of bank presidents.” On Thurad: it was proved by the returns of the Cs i that the whole capital of the bank hed been paid in; but up to this time there is no evidence to show what has become of it. Stanley, Reed & Co. hed over three hundred thousand dollars, but what they did with the money, is stilla very great gta Mr. Me: Intire, one of the directors, atated that in the course of conversation, on the Saturday before the bank failed. Wy- man said he had not been able toobtaim such statements of the affairs of Stanley, Reed & Co., or John Skinner, as would enable him to say how they stood. Mr. Mc- Intire told him that it could not be possible that the whole property of Stanley, Reed & Co, Jobn hoonix bank, could be lost. Mr. Wy reply which Mr. McIntire does not remember. In con- nexion with the quession, Wyman said he had done wrong; but his answer implied that he did not know what had become of the money. We learn from the evidence in this trial, that the dif- ferent banks often borrow money on their own bills. Henry Jaques, teller ofthe Suffolk Bank, testified that Mr. Wyman never vorrowed money of the’ Suffolk upon his check as president. On the 10th of December, 1841 he borrowed $10,000, and left $10,000 in Phonix bills security. Me wanted to loon money in our notes, in pi ference to issuing the bills of his own bank. He wasto p-y interest as Jeng as the Pheonix bills remained in my bends. | und od the bills wereonly to be with me @ few days. But they were not redeemed till eight months after—August 16th and 16th, 1842 Hetook up $5000 on each day. He paid no interest till after the bills were paid, Before be paid, | asked him about it several times. At Wyman’s request and solicitation, I represented the bank good to our president. 1 sup it was, but as it was none ofmy business to interfere in such matters, 1 declined to say any thing to our president until urged by Mr. Wyman. Mr. Wyman poid me the interest in the street, and this circumstance seemed somewhat Cy to me. There was moon ee unusual in the loan to him, on the security of the bills of the Phwnix Bank. There was no agreement on our part to keep the Phornix bills out of circulation. Samuel O, Mead, formerly cashier of the Market Bank, stated that he had lent Wymen moncy, and thet Wyman went to his house in Watertown to get his cor- sent to let the loan ($10,000) remain. At the interview Wyman urged Mead to keep the matter of the loan a se- cret. He says, “there was nothing unusual in his bor- rowing on pledged bills. It was unusual for a manto come tomy houreancut such a transaction. It was ur- usual to suggest Lp Od Henry B. Odorce formerly teller of the E: ave some new sprciniens of his financiering. He that be commenced dealings with Wyman Y, ns May, 1820. ‘The first exchange of bills was for $10,000 th as ! furnished him other bills, and his bills privilege of lying atthe hottom of the to pay interest. In June, he was going on a journey, and wanted me to hold $19,000 more o! the Phenix bille till his return, According to my recollection, he came tomy $18,000. And we told Mr. Wyman thet there was too much of Mr. Shove’s paper. He replied that Mr. Shove had not had time to take up bis notes, but would in a day or two substitute business peper for it. Dr. Bates was very cautious in his evilence, and re- marked in reply toa question by Mr. Huntington, if he was sure in relation to the contents of a package of notes examined by him in March, Dr. Bates said—'‘I am not sure of snythit have been so much deceived that 1 will jot jake to be sure.” certainly the age of financiering. The Trial of Dowden, the Treasury Clerk. On Friday, the fifth day of this trial, witnesses were examined for the prisoner, mainly te prove that the writ- ingon the stolen Treasury Notes was not the writing of Dowden. Mr. Jesse E. Dow, @ magistrate, gave the fo!- lowing testimony :— Ihave seen the prisoner write often, and see nothing that looks like his writing, either in the shape of the let- tera or general style of writing, on either of the notes be- forethe court. Since the arrest of Mr. Dowden I have had suspicions of another perso; and asa magistrate, I felt it my duty te investigate the matter. I went to Major Smith and told him that if he would back me I believed I could find the real thief.

Dowden. ere are mat- ters that 1 would like to see cleared up or explained by Mr. Broom hefore I can satisfy my mind that Broom is innocent. Mr. Broom, it will be recollected, was voluntarily and gratuitously{employed in the room with Mr. Barrett, who had charge of the Treasury Notes, and in the letter writ- ten by B.C. Campbell to Mrs. Dorsey, he was spoken of asa friend of the writer, and to him Mrs. Dorsey’s reply was sent under cover to the Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, whose letters Mr. Broom was autherized to receive and open — There 18, however, testimony in the case connecting Dowden with the negro, by whom they were sent to Bal- timore, and no such evidence has. been shown to exist against Mr. Broom.

John Snyder, of Penveyivania, has been re-nomiaated for Congress, BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL, 0 No news of importance received by the Southern mail last night. (Cnarar or A singular charge has be made before Recorder of New Orleans, by Mr. Edward Stebber, from whose affidavit we learn the following particulars:— On the Sth of June last, Mr. Stebber chartered the schooner Luda, burthen 41 37-98 tons, whereof Wm. L. Hurd was and is master and owner—an an vessel, owned ani duly registered at New Orleans, La., to go to the EX ef Laguna, and any other port or ports which Mr Stebver might direct ; and te fogged asa cabin passenger to and from Laguna or such other port as might be designated by him to New Orleans, at which ¢ the charter party was entered into, Agreeably to his contract, the schooner Luda, commanded by Capiain Wm. L. Hurd, left the port of New Orleans on or about the 15th June, 1843, and by direction of Mr. Stebber went to Campeachy, where she arrived on or about the 27th or 28th of thesame month. At Campeachy, the vessel under the command of said Wm. L. Hurd, after having been. cleared on the 1ith day of July, 1843, for New Or- lear.s, was detained, under various pretexts, until the 17th of July, 1843. On that day, Mr. Stedber having been in- formed that Hurd had ex: @ determin: not to convey him to New Or! , and fearing that Hurd would leave him in Campeachy, carried his baggage on board the schooner Luda, where fad with the mate, and drank some coffee ; about 20 minutes after supper, the Captain came on board, and asked deponent to shore with him, to settle some accounts ; the mate of the vessel, Alwin Hurd, a brother of Captain Hurd, privately intimated to Mr. Stebber not to go on shore,” but he ne- vertheless went, accompanied by the mate Alwin Hurd, as well as Capt. Hurd, Mr Stebber having insisted on the mate’s accompanying Atter having been on shorea short time, viz: about a quarter or ahalt hour, Mr. Stebber found himself very unwell, and returned to the small boat belonging to the vessel, declaring that he would lie down there, until the mate accom. Captain was ready to goen board, and ti panied him; but he fell asleep in the bo : as he ‘reached it; when he he endeavored to rise, but found himself unable to do 0; the mate Alwin Hurd, who was identified as then before the Recorde: rowing tl upon the mat but the mate, after seein condition in which Mr. mate, he got a couple of men to row him back to Cam, peachy, when the mate volunteered to pull one of the oars. They reached Compeachy about 11 o’clock, A.M. of the 18th July, when he found that the Captain of the Luda had run away with her, and a large quantity of good: id merchandise and wage the goods and mer- chandise consisted of 25ybarrels of French bread, 40 kegs crackers, 25 boxes soda biscuit, 36 hammocks, 72 straw hats, and 4000 segars, worthialtogether about four hundred dollars; and the money consisted of three thousand do!- lars in specie, a part thereof being Mexican dollars, an’ the balance being sovereigzs and doubloons; all the ¢ things, together with a large quantity of baggage, kc. ali the property of Mr. Stebber, were carried eft inthe Luda by aes L. Hurd, the master and owner, who ran away with her. From the conduct and behavior of the mate, in car- rying Mr. Stebber to Lerma, in delaying and endeavor? ing to detain him there, in keeping the boat of the \ uda, and fiom the counexiou between the vand the captoin of the Luda, his intimacy with the captain his manner of leaving the Luda, and all the circumstances of the case, Mr. Stebber believed t! the mate did know- ingly and wittingly aid, assist, and abet Captain Hurd in running away with the ship Luda and her cargo, goods, wares, merchandise, and money, out ofthe port of Campeachy. ‘ ? And from the stupor and’ situation in which he, Bepe nent, found himself when he woke in the small boat be- longing to the Luda, on the night of tho 19th July, hehas 0 doubt that some drug or sleeping potion was adm: tered to him in the coffee taken by him at supper on board the schooner as above mentioned; and thatthe same was administered with the knowledge and assent of the mate. Cn this statement of facts Mr. Stebber grounded a charge of purjury against Hurd, the Captain of the schooner, and the mate, Alwin Hurd, he charged as an accessory. The New Orleans Diamond says Captain Hurd iS well known in that city, having had command of schooners in the Mexican trade for a number of years. He has, we learn, a wife and family at Gal- veston.

We are not at liberty to do so at present ; but may mention that not only that circu- lar, but many others pointing to the same result, are con- tained in “@.ave Trape,” “ Document No. 2,” dated May 80, 1843, forming part of the instructions of Mr. Fox, the British minister at Washington. The southern trade is rapidly improving, and many mercantile visitorsto our city are ogreeably surprised,to find the terms on which goods ere offered much more liberal than those to which they nave been accustomed for some seasons back. Instead ef demanding a draft or acceptance, individual responsibility in many cames is sufficient to procure the required amount of goods. This is particularly the case with the Mobile merchants. Alabama has long suffered by the presence of a most per- nicious depreciated paper, which,although it is taken and passed in Alabama for acurrency, really commands no more than its specie value, asall p'icea are proportionally high. The amount of this paper outstanding has been greatly diminished by large conflegrations, and it stated that of all the bilis called in for the purpote of destroying, none yet have been detected which have not been regularly registered when issued. This would seem to putat rest the popular suspicion that more hed ‘been issued than had been accounted for. The remain- der of the paper outstanding is gradually absorbed by payments of State taxes and of debts due the banks. An effort is to be wade on the 1st of October, to take from this paper its character of currency, and let it pass at a dis- count for specie, instead of quoting specie at a premium. For this purpose, it is understood that on the let October, the bills willhe rejected by the Bank of Mobile, which institution will receive and pay out only its dwn bills payable ondemand, It is stated that the president of that institution, has been at the Merchants’ Bank of this city for some time, preparing the new bills for circulation in Mobile. The effect of this movement of the Bank of Mobile will be to depreciate the Alabama bills, which at this time of year seck the north in large amounts in the hands of travellers. A further depreciation will cause them to be absorbed with greater rapidity by the credi} tors of the banks from whom there is now some little de. mand inthis city. The prospect of getting specie pay- ments for individual notes made payable at the Bank of Mobile, has induced the dealers here to sell goods for them withoutendorsement. This is not a description of paper that can be usedin our banks, yet it encoureges the demand for goods, andtends to that increase of ac- tivity epparent in the markets, The ability of the south to purchase and pay for goods is constantly mcreasing,and the cash business growing out of that section of the country, willnext year be large and profitable. This is based on the low prices which here and in England have touched their lowest. Cotton, low as its price has been during the past ycarin consequence of the difficulties in Englend, and the, enormous crop, yield. d even this year a better proportion to the cost of its production than in some former years, when the prices in England were 60 per cent higher than new. The cheapness of supplies, and bagging and bale rope, and the increased industry of the planters in putting in corn and other crops in connection with their cotton, has produced this result. They have borne the depression of prico in- cident upon a crop 50 per cent greater than that ef the previous year with much less injury than could have been expected. The low prices of cotton, have, ss usual, immensely increased its consumption. It has been applied to other uses, and the prospects ef the coming year are that the English supplies {rom India will be very small— the demand of goods for foreign markets much increased the home trade no ways diminished—and money applicable to the stimulation of the trade in all its branches, extraordinarily abundant. In such a state of affairs, prices would rise, even with ojsupply as great as thatof this year now about closing ; but the probabilities now are that the supply will fall off at least 25 per cent ; that 1s, instead of a crop of 2,300,000 bales, it will not exceed 1,700,000 bales. A crop brought into market with such prospects for and produced in so cheap a man: ner, cannot tut yield a greater amount of clear profit to the southern section than ever before. This is a basis for commercial prosperity dependant upon no bank:|or any other paper juggle. The crop must be had and must be paid for. A large part of those paper machines, by the hocus pocus of which the proceeds ef industry ished from the planters’ hands, Jeaving them filled pices of paper, are destroyed, and a broad field is open to individual enterprise. In all that fertile and ich section ofthe United States which discharges its produce on tothe bosom of tho Mississippi, on its way to New Orleans, a great want of capital prevails. Not bank capital—for of all parts of the world the devasta- tions of paper credit are more apparent in that fertile valley than any other. But, what is wanted, is a fair equivalent for the rich and abundant proceeds of their industry. We will take a section—say that which sur- rounds and centres in Vicksburg. A planter having 6 to 800 bales of choice eotton, going into Vicksburg, finds no one with capital sufficient to purchase it, even at very lew prices. It is then put on board of a boat, exposed without care or attention to the vicisritudes of the river navigation, atrives at New Orleans in a damaged state, and perhaps part of the invoice lost. It is then sold by a factor to Eastern or foreign egents,in “lists,” at an ave rage price, and the proceeds credited to the planter don’ reach by 30 per cent what they should have done. And the Eastern agent pays as much more, because he chose to remain at a luxurious hotel in New Orleans, instead of exposing himself to the hardships of passage up the river, to attend to the details of his business. The same wasteful process is gone through in selling to planters the goods they purchase. If foreign agents, and those of Eastern manufacturers, would exert themselves, and seck for their eottons themselves emong the planters, attend to its shipment, and see that bales are not ripped up and filled with water on their down the river, they would get better cotten for Jess money, and the planters receive better remuneration. Of late years tLe indolence, extravagence, and waste attendant on bank eredits, have superceded that industry and frugality with which it is necessary to conduct business in order to profit by it.
