A.—I never saw Mrs. Famariss there. Defence objected to further answer of the question, and the Court overraled it. -.

Evenina Session. At the re-opening of the Court Mr, De Wirt, counsel for defence, offered to prove the general bad character of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, in order to sustain that portion of the alleged libel, that charges him with being disreputa- ble, and that therefore Benjamin H. Day, the complainant should not have kept his company, or haye been his before the police on the charge of defrauding the Atlantic Insurance Company. Mr. Surru, for prosecution, objected to the introduction of the testimony, as rebutting testimony would be in, and the cause would thus be delay ed another day. After some conservational argument between counsel findthe Court, the testimony was admitted, with the un_ lerstanding that it was to be ‘confined to. the question of the general bad moral character of Hamilton, without extending farther, Writ Catexpen was called for defence.—I am one of the Lewer Police Office. the general moral character of Mr. Jere- pilton is very bad. examined by Suivi for prosecution.—Q.—Are you he habit of reporting ice matter for ‘The Sun,” for which you receive a certain amount per week, paid by Mr. Beach ? ‘A.—No, lam not ; Ihave never made any arrangement or agreement with Mr. Beach about reporting ; I may have given his reporter some particulars relative to the former arrest of Hamilton, the same as 1 would other re- ve owed Mr. Beach money, but have been instalments, the 1ast of which will soon be porters ; 1 paying it in paid m4 full. 4 Q.—Who have you heard speak badof Mr. Hamilton ? A—1 have heard many. Q.—Be so good as to name some one person or more. Ihave heard Mr. Barstow, of Pine street, speak of his character as bad. Q—When was that ? ‘I cannot say exactly ; it is some ten years since I pers to Mr. Barstow ; and I cannot positively say whe- ther it was him or others. Q.—Then you take back what you said before ? A.—I cannot recollect positively who it was ; I have heard many. Q.—Have you ever heard any one speak of his charac- teras bad—any one single person whom you can name ? A.—I do not ‘know that I can recollect the name of an: one, but when I was in business down town, I have of- ten heard him spoken of. Georce W.

I A.—It is not spoken of well; I have heard persons speak against him, and others speak in his favor. ‘Wituiam Avetecare, printer, called by defence—Q.— ni ae know Day, Bartlett and Hamilton ? Yes. Q.—Have you ever seen them walking together with nape arms ? What is the general moral character of Hamilton ? A.—Persons generally speak bad of him. Q—Who have you heard speak bad of him? _A-—Lhave heard Day; he once came to me to get an ar- ticle reflecting upon the characier of Hamilton suppres- sed, that was about to be pnblished in apaperthat was printed in my office, which article chi Hamilton with all sorts of offences, and called him almost every name; Day said that he knew Hamilton was a bad fellow, but he was doing some business for him, and he did not wish to have him showed up at that time. Q.—-What paper was that article to be published in and who were you to apply to to have the article suppressed ? i agcl waste apply to George Woodbridge, who publish- ed the paper, Smirn—What!—the man that was sent to Blackwell's Island for publishing an obscene sheet? » Cross-examined by Mr. Sut for the ecution.—What ‘was the name of the paper in which this article was to be published? A.—I believe it wasin “The Whip”—(laughter)—I am not certain whether it was in the “Flash” or “The Whip” but I think it was in the latter. Q—Mr. Woodbridge was a general publisher of these sheets, wasn’t he? _A»—Yes—he also published “The Libertine”—and it might have been in that—Hamilton came to my office the same evening—he gave me a good segar and f gave him one back, Smirn—And you had a good cosy smoke together, didn’t you? (aughter:) A.—O, yes. Justice Menrnitt recalled by defence—Q. by De Witt—Do you know whether Jeremiah G. Hamilton is a negro ? Mr. Swirnr objected ; butthe court ruled that the ques- tion could be asked, asthe libels charged Mr. Day with Keeping his company, and alleging that he was a negro. tedig! nave an opinion on the subject founded on’ some facts, Q.—What are those facts ? A.—I do not wish to make any statement. Mr. Hamilton Bits Mereyand you'nnd the jusy cam judge av well ao I can. Q—Yes ; but we want your opinion based on facts. An argument here ensued between counsel as to the pro- priety of this question, when the court concluded t! it was @ mere matter of opinion of the witness, but still al- Jowed the question to be put. A.—I do nat believe he is a white man. Q—why do you not? é A.—Because he does not wear his own hair—he wears Have you ever seen him with his wig off? A—Yes—once ; Q.—Is the hair under it straight or curly ? A.—His hair was curly under it when [ saw it. Q—Does his lips and nose exhibit the features of a negro 1 .—Why you can see them as well as me—they are something like. Cross-cramined by Suir for prosecution —Q.—Have you not seen West Indians as dark as Mr. Hamilton ? A.—Yes, e you not seen Spaniards as dark ? Q—Have you ever seen a negro with whiskers like Ham- ilton’s ? ‘A.—I donot know exactly ; people sometimes have their whiskers put on. Q—Please look at his and see if they are put on, and then say whether you ever saw a negro with such whisk- ers—take a candle and look. A.—No, I thank yon, I had rather not. Q.—But I wish you would. A.—I shall not, and I doubt whether you have power to compel it. j Q—Have you ever seen ane; whi curly—like yours for instance A —(Witness drawing his hand over his luxuriant crop which he takes much pride in cultivating)—No, I have never seen any negro’s whiskers like mine exactly. (Great laughter.) Q.—Are not Hamilton's whiskers something like yours? A.—No—they are not like mine—they are much more like yours. (Great laughter.) defence —Where did. you first know Hamilton ? A.—Ia my official capacity about ten’ years ago in the police office—it was there that I took his wig off. ‘The defence said they would here rest their testimony. Jeremian G. Hamrutow here rose said :—May it please the Court to grant me a couple of hours time to prove the falsit: of the statement made by Justice Merritt relative to my Being before the police at the time he alle- gges—as well as on other points. I can disprove all, and ow wish to inform the Court that the reason why he has so testified relative to me is because I have refused to lend him money. (Great excitement.) Justice Mennrrr. pronounce this statement to be un- qnalitiedly fle. It is not Sins Hawitton.—I can prove it. Mennirr.—It is false—I pronounce it unqualifiedly false ——I went into Wall street sometime since to borrow some money, it is true—and I met Hamilton, who asked me my business, and I told him I wanted to borrow some money —he said he could lend me, but I left him as I wished not to borrow of him. Hamiitox.—That is false, and I can prove it. Covrt.—Order, gentlemen. i Mennitt.—(Taking his seat and muttering)—That is utterly false, and a lie without any foundation. The counsel on both sides here stated that they had closed their testimony, and it being near 7 o'clock, and two of the jurors having business, the Court ordered an adjournment until this morning at 11 o’clock, when the counsel will sum up after sentences are passed on the various persons who have been convicted who are out on Dail or in prison. Grand Flare Up, and termination of Proceedings.—As the crowd had passed from the court room and descended into the street, Justice Matsell joined in with Ald. Waterman and Vandervoort, and Messrs, Jonas B. Phillips, De Witt, Robinson, MeGay, and others, when Hamilton came up, and accosted Merritt relative to the denial in court of nis desire to borrow money, when words ensued, and Merritt desired him to go away, as he wished nothing to say to him. Hamilton followed on, and as the company were about crossing Leonard street in Centre, he called Merritt a liar and a scoundrel. Merritt then raised his arm and shoved Hamilton away, when he closed up again, and Merritt then struck him on the head and hands twice with hiscane. Hamilton endeavored to wrest the cane from his grasp, but being unsuccessful, he ran across the street and seized a cart rung from a cart standing opposite, with which he was returning to attack Merritt. when a little boy, named Sherlock, who was ing and saw Hamilton rushing towards Merritt with the club raised, cried out, and Merritt, perceiving him coming, darted from his posi- tion among the before-named fF lemen, and thus saved himself from a blow that would have left its mark without any doubt. Officer M. R. Walsh, who was standing on the steps of the ‘Tomb: the aftray, and ran towards the crowd, and arrested Hamilton with the cart rung in his hand. 'He then endeavored to take it way, and also to take Hamilton into the police office, when, as he after. ers thick and wards stated, Geo. H. Morris, a brother-in-law of Hamilton, and Benjamin H. Day, seized hold of the club, and also endeavored to rescue Hamil- ton from, his es gran. During the excitement he let Ham'iton go an seized Morris, whom he brought into the Police Office. In an instant the whole police force was af- ter Hamilton, but it appeared he was too keen for their clatches, as several of the officers returned wathout ob- taining any knowledge of his whereabouts, Day and Morris were in the police office during this time, which “was well thronged by all the parties and spectators. In an Instant a rush was heard on the outer steps, and in came Hamilton, followed by officers Low, Rutherford and Mc- Grath, who claimed his arrest, although Hamilton says it was only asurrender at discretion. Officer Walsh then made an affidavit against Mr. Day and’! e rescue of Hamilton, when Justice Ste~ vens, who was on the bench, ordered that they should be held to bail in the sum of $1000 each, to answer the of- Justice Menaitm then ited an it to Justice Stevens, chi that he tad bom “violently assaulted Jeremiah familton, who deponent with a cart rung to strike him with the same, and deponent has no doubt would have done so had he not been prevented by persons present, and that he wasin danger of receivin, great bodily harm from said assault, without any justifi- cation on the part of the said assailant,” &c. ee Justice Stevens then ordered that he should find bail in the sum of $1,000 to answer for the assault with a danger- ‘ous weapon calculated to take like. Here came the tug of war—there being three parties to bail at $1,000 each—but finally Mr. Dexter, of White street,"was sent after, who entered bail in that sum for Mr. Day. Mr, Hamilton then offered Mr. Day for bail fo himself and intended then to offer himself for Morri Justice Stevens objected at firstto receive Mr. Day as as pane implicated in the same transaction wit! ton, but il, Hamil: ly consented that Mr. Day should be received as security for the appearance of both Hamilton and Mor- ris until this morning when he desired that other secu- rity should be entered. | ‘This being completed the parties the office, and Hamilton, we understand, intends to —~ Merritt both criminally and otherwise for the lows inflicted on him with his cane.

Coroner’s Office, Tuunspay, Dec. 21.—Notwith- standing that the present Coroner has but ten days longer to wear the robes of office, yet business continues to pour in upon him. Yesterday he was called ¢o examine into the causes ofthe death of a woman named Ellen Teirnan, who had died from intemperance and exposure, and who had formerly resided at 16 Dover street. Such was the verdict ofthe jury, Also, on the body ofJane Bell, of 54 Eldridge street, a native of England, aged 50 years, who had died in a fit from congestion of the brain ; and on the body of Elizabeth Stone, who was severely burned on the 16th instant and taken to the Hospital, where she died yestenlay.

McFarland and Frank- lin’s exhibitions, are the subject of still undecided con- troversy.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. = Washington. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Wasuincton, Wednesday, Dec. 20, 1843. Jamzs Gorpon Bennetr, Esq:— Dear Str :— T have already apprised you of the appointment of Dr. Bache to the place occupied by Mr. Hassler.— Of his eminent qualifications there can be no more doubt than of his confirmation by the Senate. He received his appointment upon the strongest recom- mendations from nearly every distinguished, scien- tific and literary society in the country, besides the solicitations received to the same effect from many distinguished men. The eppwsutment vf Mu, Olathe tv the place of Auditor in the Post Office Department, which has also been confirmed by the Senate, excited some curiosity, inasmuch as he is a well known whig.— But it is not perhaps very remarkable when Mr. Clarke’s entire fitness forthe office is considered, and also that he not only enjoys the high personal esteem of the President, but is exceedingly popular sven with democrats—and of course with the igs. The appointments of Alexander G. Penn, post- master at New Orleans, and of Thomas McGuire, consul to Glasgow, have both been confirmed by the Senate. And these three are all that have yet been confirmed, or that will be likely to be con- firmed at present. A number of the Senators are about leavin; Washington, to spend the holidays—indeed, 4 think there was barely a quorum present to-da) As nearly as I can ascertain, there is little doubt of the confirmation by the Senate of most of the 2xecutive appointments, with the exception of Messrs. Proffit and Cushing. Asto Mr. Preffit, you know the reason of doubt, and can say what you think proper. In relation to Mr. Cushing, al- though he may be regarded as rey way qualified tor the sation Soros that the Chinese govern- ment will receive him in the character appointed— yet his previous rejection by the Senate may be con- sidered ground for not confirming him now. On the other hand his return to this country would be attended with much delay and expense. The tariff question, now fairly before both branches of Congress is assuming a very curious and novel position. No one appearsto suppose that billto reduce the tariff can pass both the House and the Senate, although it is likely a bill will pass the House, especially as the democratic members from Missouri, Indiana, and Illinois, seem to be deci- dedly anti-tariff. Still the subject must and will he discussed—and that for Buncombe. It is a sword with which Calhoun has attacked Van Bu- ren. It will prove a severe touchstone, and a try- ing ordeal to some of the democratic’ members. All parties tinge curious to see the line drawn and to see who will toe it. It will be interesting also, among the southern whig members of the Senate, to see whether apes or pockets bear the palm. Never since politics became a scientific game, did the condition of parties require the wires to be more nicely hung, or more sagaciously pul- led. Nothing is more apparent than that the Cat houn men will make a desperate attempt to ch mate Van Buren with the tariff knight. And it is in this light that all the present movements in Con- gress on this question are to be viewed. TWENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. FURST SESSION. In Senate, Wepnespay, Dec. 20, 12 M. Few Senators were present to-day, and no busi- ness of any special interest was done. A commu- nication was received from the State Department, giving information—according to a resolution last year—of sundry arrangements respecting treaties. imports, &c. Several petitions were resented about French spoliations, claims, relief, &c. Mr. Benton introduced a resolution, instructing the Committee on Naval Affairs to inquire into the expediency of establishing a manufactory of do- mestic hemp on the Mississippi river. _Mr. Barrow presented several resolutions from his State government, relative to the reorganiza- tion of the Second Regiment of Dragoons—the re- funding of General Jackson’s fine—an appropria- tion to clear away the bar at the mouth of Red River—and to the reduction of expenses of litiga- tion in the United States courts. The Senate then adjourned. House of Representatives. " Wepvespay, Dec. 21. Public Lands—Contested Elections—Abolition Pe- ions amenewient of the Journal—Mr. Adams, C. Ge. r. Houston of Ala., on leave, introduced a bill to reduce and graduate the price of public lands in tavor of settlers who cultivate them. _ Mr. Srewant of Penn., introduced a bill direct- ing the transfer of the Government Stock in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to the State of Maryland and the cities of the Dwtzict of Co- | lumbia, which was referred to the Committee of th hole on the State of the Union, Mr. Joseenu R. Ivernsout. presented the memo- rial of certain citizens of Florida in relation to the contested election to the 27th Congress, of the De- legate from that Territory, (Mr. Levy.) Mr. 1. moved the reference of the memorial to the Com- mittee of Elections. {The reader will recollect that right of Mr. Levy to a seat was contested in the 27th Congress, that the matter underwent the elaborate investiga- tion of a committee, but that no final action was taken by the House thereon.) i Mr, Levy inguired what was the precise prayer of this memorial? tir Mr, J. R. Incersort said that it prayed that the | question might be taken up and finally disposed of. Mr. Lavy asked for the reading of the memorial, and it was read. [It states that no action was hi by the House on the question of alienage against the validity of Mr. Levy’selection to the 27th Con- gress, and prays that that question might be tuken up and finally settled.] Mr. Levy desired the Clerk would state the num- ber of those who signed the memorial. The Crenx replied twenty-one. ‘The memorial gave rise to some remarks, from Messrs. Levy, J. R. Ingersoll, A. V. Brown, G. Davis, and Houston. i hen, on motion of Mr. Housron, (originally moved by Mr, A. V. Brown, but withdrawn by re- quest,) the subject was laid on the table. ; Mt. Levy desired to offer a resolution instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into the validity of the proceedings on which his right to citizenship depended. But, at the request of many members, Mr. L, wusharew the resolution; and here the matter end- e Mr. Day bel culled for the‘action of the House upon his resolution, which was the next business in order. [The resolution was to refer to the Committee of Elec- tions the claims of members from the above States to seats in the House.] Mr. Euaen of N.J., when this question was last up, moved as anamendment to, Mr. Davis's Resolution, that the Committee on Elections be required to examine and report upon the rights of all the members to their seats, in common with those sitting as members from the fonr States who have not elected members in conformity to the law and the constitution. The Previous Question was called for and sustained. The Resolution was then before the House upon its adoption as amended, Mr. Davis having accepted the mo- dification proposed by Mr. Elmer, he yeas and nays were called, and the Resolution was carried, Ayes 148. Noes 32! Mr. Banwann’s proposition to amend the Journal of ‘Tuesday last was the next in order. His motion was to amend the Journal of Tuesday last so as to incorporate the Protest of Mr. Barnard and forty-nine other members. The Speaker stated thatthe question for the House to consider was the'motion of Mr. Dromgovle of Va., that the Resolution of Mr. Barnard (to amend the Journal) he not received. The question of reception was raised, and the Speaker decided that the resolution would not be received if a mo- tion to lay upon the table prevailed. tg: Stmsnon, of Virginia, moved to lay upon’ the fable. ‘The yeas and nays were called, and the motion to lay upon the table prevailed. Ayes 116, noes 59. The House turned to the consideration of more unfinish- ed business, and the Speaker announced the reception of petitions to be in order. ‘The unfinished business of Saturday was the question of the reception of the memorial presented by Mr. Adams from citizens of New York, asking for such an amend- ment of the Constitution as would ig them from all connection with domestic slavery. Mr. Apams moved that the petition be referred to the committee on the judiciary. Mr. Cave Jonson objected to the reception of the peti- tion, for he conceived it, in effect, to amount to a petition for a dissolution of the Union, which he should object to e. denied that the gentleman from Tennessee true interpretation of the petition. It was a for an amendment of the constitution, ‘olution of the Union, ‘The Sreaxwn said the question of reception had been raised—that question must be first disposed of, Mr. Tromrson moved to lay the question of reception on the table. Mr. Avams called forthe yeas and nays on that motion. Mr. Brack, of Georgia, asked, for his own information, whether, if the motion of the gentleman from Mississippi was carried, it would not carry with it to the table the pe- tition also ; ‘and whether thus ‘the petition wouldjnot be received by the House. Cries of “No, no.” ‘The Srraxen replied that it would not carry with it a paper which hud never been in possession of the House, Mr. Brarvswery desired that the petition should be read, that they might know what its contents were. The Uuerx accordingly read the petition, which set forth that the undersigned petitioners, inhabi- tants of the State of New York, earnestly desiring that they should be freed from all connexion withelomestic slavery, respectfully prayed the House of Representatives to uch laws, and propore such amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as shall forever sepa- rate the people of New York from all connexion with slavery. ‘The yeas and nays were then ordered; and being taken, resulted as follows : yeas 97, nays $0.

He had them from all sections of the country, and he should now present one from 261 citize: of the State of Illinois. He presumed them to be respecta- ble persons though he did not know them. Their first prayer was, that Congress would pass some law confe sing our national sins. (Laughter.) Sir, said Mr. A., t petition comes from 261 respectable people of Illinois; it is no idle paper, and deserves to be treated with respect. The second prayer was, that Congress would pass a law ac- knowledging the dominion of Jesus Christ. The third prayer was, that Congress should pass a law defining what the law of God is. And the fourth prayer was, for’ such an amendment of the Constitution as would secure to all the people in the United States the self-evident truths contained in the Declaration of Independence—the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of ha He was afraid the Speaker would decide the prayer to be within the rule ; but he wished the petition read at large, in order that the House might judge for itself. Mr. Wise objected to the reception of this. memorial.— Various members called for its panting. ane said it.was short,and he begged that it might read. Mr. Wise remarked that the Clerk had no right read it. It was not received. The Srraxer decided that as the memorial gave rise to debate it must lie over. Mr. Hanatson, of Georgia, moved that the motion to re- ceive the memorial be laid upon the table. It was insult- ing to the dignity of the American House of Representa- tives. The Sreaxer said it was not in order to debate the me- morial and Mr. H. took his seat amidst cries of order. The members gathered round Mr. Adams, who wished to explain, and to have the memorial read. But amidst considerable confusion an adjournment was called for and carried.

The school covers an area of thirty-two hundred square feet, with no obstructions in the centre, and is the only enclosed and covered place in the city that can be used as a Military Riding School.

Well, well, there’s fifty others that were like her, but have al- tered by using the Italian Chemical Soap for the skin, and Jones’ Coral Hair Restorative for the hair. Now these two articles, sold by Jones, of 82 Chatham street, are the most excellent things we ever knew. There isa man in Mott street whose face was like small pox, with pimples, freckles, &c., and this soap cleared it, also chap- pedflesh, The Gil we need not speak of.

The European advices by the’steamer have had as yet but little effect on this market. Private letters in relation to the state of the Liverpool cotton market, do not give so favorable an account as circulars received. They say the advance of an j quoted by the Brokers on the other side, cannot be sustained. Stocks in Wall street have receded still further. Mo- hawk declined a } per cent; Patterson, 1; Harlem, } ; Norwich, 1; Kentucky, }; Indiana; }; Ohio Life & Trust }; Long Island advanced 1 per cent. Ilinois was firm at last quotations. Boston & Providence Railroad sold at 106}. $13,400 in {specie arrived at New Orleans on the 11th inst., making the total receipts for the season $2,324,617. The receipts at Mobile on thé 12th inst. were $75,000, of which $65,000 were from New York. ‘The Governor has, we understand, appointed Jabez Engineer of the Croton Aqueduct, Commiss locate the new termination of the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad. By an act of the Legislature of 1838, the power of determining upon such location is vested in these Com: missioners ; and they are required to make such a selec- tion as will be most advantageous to the public interests and the objects of the company. The advices received by the Hibernia are of a very fa- vorable, encouraging nature, full as much s0 as was anti- cipated. The money market continues in a very pros- perous condition. Stocks have advanced, and the per cent for money slightly decreased, ‘The cotton market was very active, and an advance of 4d had taken place, — ‘The stock in Liverpool on the 1st inst. was 230,000 bales more than at the same time last year, and prices this year range higher than for the same period last. The sales averaged about 7000 bales daily. There was a rumor very current in Liverpool just before the departure of the steamship, that the English government intended granting a drawback on cotton. Should there be any truth inthis report a very extensive export trade would be opened. A writer in a Liverpool paper uses the following language regarding this important staple :— The prices ategice much lower here than in the United States, it is probable we shall have a fair export demand; this, and the small comparative import up to the end of the year, w se our stock to approximate near to the corresponding period of last year. In December, of last year, we received 190,000 bales; this year the can receive, according to the latest export list, i 000 bales, which alone will reduce our comparative stock on the 3ist December, 105,000. ‘The very diminished import o it trade continues good in this country, cannot fail of sustaining present prices, and, were it not for a heavy stock, we might have an advance of such magni- tude as would be really injurious to the general trade. The advices received in London, by the Britannia from Boston, produced great animation in American stocks. The prices quoted on the 4th instant, were at an advance on former rates. There were buyers at the lowest quotations, and sellers at the highest, all with dividends on— Prices or State Stocks in LoNpon, Pret. Sept.15. Nov. 4.

This is caused partially by the abundance of money, but principally by the favorable impression made on the minds of capitalists, by advices from this country, giving accounts of the change in the public mind here regarding repudiation. The Hibernia brings $180,000 in specie. The monthly returns of the Joint Stock Banks of Great Britain, show an increase, in all parts of the kingdom, of the circulation, This increase is accounted for by the additional demand for money by the agricultural classes at this season, and from a general want ofmoney, caused by the improved state of trade.

This is certainly a great and sudden addition to the paper currency; an addition reaching nearly eight mil- lions of dollars. There must be some invisible cause for this fluctuation. The official return for September shows: a decrease in the circulation of £1,014,946, and an increase in the bullion of £277,000, since the report from August. From September to October the circulation enlarged £1,410,330, while the amount of bullion declined £164,000. From October to November the increase of circulation was £1,705,558, and the decrease in bullion £61,000; making the total circulation at the date of the last state- ment £3,115,888, equal to $15,000,000 larger than it was September 16th, about sixty days before. During the pe- riod of this increase the bullion has been gradually falling off, until the amount November 11, was £225,000, or $1,000,000 less than September 16th. This expansion in the paper circulation, within so limited a period, is not the direct cause of a regular increasing trade, because the extention is too abrupt, This additional amount has been drawn into speculation to a certainjextent. Undoubtedly the wants of those engaged in a legitimate business have been unusually pressing lately, but the immense amount put in circulation could not have all been absorbed by a trade that so gradually increases when confined to the proper channels. ‘The London Circular to Bankers goes into a lengthy dissertation on the issuing of a paper currency by the governments of the United States and Russia. It argues that the object of this important move is to render these respective countries as independent as possible of the money power of England; and, also, to promote the pros- perity of the people bythe same means as that which contributed so much to make England what she is. This is very true so far as it goes. We are not aware that the government of this country have determined to issue an immense amount of paper currency, and neither would the effect of such an act be as prophicied by the circular. The people in this country compose the govern- ment, and they look more to their advancement, on a safe, permanent basis, than to the adoption of a paper cur rency to become independent of the. money power of England. We have a power here superior to that of money. ‘The prosperity of the people will be more rapidly promoted by economy, energy and industry, with a cur- rency on a specie basis, in the hands of the peo- ple, and beyond the control of any legislative body. The government of Ri being in the hands of an individu- al, who is absolute, the issues of a paper currency depend on his will and wish. The policy of the United States takes a different course than that laid down in the Bank- ers’ Circular. The fact of there being government trea- sury notes in circulation,gave rise to this assertion in the London journal that an'mmense amount of paper was to be put afloat. The expansion of; the paper currency of this country would place us, body and soul, in the power of European capitalists, instead of making us independent of foreign power. The vast inflation of prices that invari- ably follow over bank issues, induces large importations, and brings us} in debt to the nations of Europe, who cur- tail credits at their pleasure, and compel immediate pay- ment. A currency just sufficient to supply the immediate and actual demands of trade, is the only independent and safe policy for a people like us to adopt and adhere to. The message of Governor Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, gives a brief account of the finances of that State. He says that amid all difficulties, the interest on the public debt has been paid punctually, and there are ample means in the banks to pay the interest which will be due the ensuing year. Beyond that time no provisions are made, and the Governor recommends that a sufficient fund be raised by taxation, to provide permanentlyj for the pay- ment of the interest on the State debt. The President and Directors, in presence of the Governor and Secretary of State, have destroyed, by burning, bills of the different branches of the State Bank, amounting to $5,036,697, and blank impressions amounting to $7,013,428. The State Bank has, in like manner, destroyed $609,416, in bills of that institution. The currency of the State is fast im- proving, and Alabama will have, in a short time, as sound and safe a circulating medium as any other State in the Union. The gradual winding up of the State Banks, and the destruction of their issues, have been universally approved, and the people, by having a mere valuable will be better able to submit to demands in the ation. The present mode of assessing tax on land, without classification, is not popular throughout the State, A fair and equal tax on property would be cheerfully paid to sustain the credit of the State in all its just and legal engagements.
