NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, July 23, 1845. Mr. Buehanan’s Reported Resign —The Anfluences at Work—The Succession, A great deal of discussion has taken place as to the truth or falsehood of the rumor of Mr. Bueha- nan’s intended resignation, and more or less has been said on it by papers of every description. We do not wonder that it should cause so great a degree, of interest, for a like occurrence in the present pos- ture of affairs, particularly of our foreign relations, would be one pregnant with consequences of great weisht. In the firet place it would indicate that there is not that fasion of individual opinions that is averred by the demoeratic party to exist in the cabi- net of Mr. Polk; it wonld show that it is composed of men who are not willing to forego convictions of riglit for the sake of more convenient concord ; and Heavy Tuvyper Srorm.—Yesterday morning, shortly after 2 o'clock, this city and its environs were visited by a heavy fall of rain, accompanied by the most vivid lightning and peal upon peal of thun- der. The trees in the vicinity of St. John’s Park, reeeived considerable damage ; and several were blown down ; some being cleft to pieces by the elee- tric fluid. A large tree which had withstood the 3 “Pelting of the pitiless storm"{ | for nearly half a century was cleft to pieces, in the | Garden, No. 171 Canal street, Several trees were | also blown down in variousother parts of the city, } and broken branches may be seen in various | quarters—the Park—the Batttery, and all bearing | evidence of the powerful effects of the storm, whilst | itraged for nearly two hours, The city was en- veloped in one continued sheet of flame, and the | rain fellin torrents. | Between the scorching heat and temperature of | the last few days, rangmg from 88 to 96, and 100 it would be # good ground for suspecting also that degs. Fahrenhert, the lite calamitous fire, and the other eonsiderat.ons than those of duty to the Re- | storm ofyesterday evening,the estizens of New York public, are aot without their influence on certain members *t the cubinet. Changes in any of the departments of govern- ment omtht to be as few as possible in a well 1egula- ted adininistration, Assuming that those who are app? sted to office are fit for it, the longer their te- nurs of office, the betrer; for the occupant learns more und more the longer he is in it—daily grows veser, uatil at list the chances are that his successor will be his inferior in efficiency nine times out of ten. Henee, Mr. Buchanan being an able man, and Yue who is fit to fill the important office he holds, it would be a matter for regret should we reulize the reports of his resignation, that have been far and Vicely cireulated. Whuever source these reports have had, we do oot think they are altogether unfounded. It is true, they hive been denied by the Union, whose testi- mony is, perhups, the best that can be had on the sidject, after that of Mr. B. himself. The Union m y be, and we believe is, sincere in its denial of a eplitin the camp, and, moreover, fully persuaded that its inform ution is peifect on this point; but it is justas licble to be led astray on this question, as any other of the numerons journals, which have en- tertiined it seriously, There must be a wide distine- tion mide between its facilities to ascertain the teeling of the Cabinet on one hand, and to fathom the under current of the personal asperations and am. bition of its members on the other. No one in the (resent state of the case will persist in saying tha; | the reported intention of resigning office, was open- ly declared by Mr. Buchanan; but there will be just | as few to assert that it is the less likely because not yetavowed. Tt cannot be denied, that both Mr. ‘Walker and Mr. Buchanan are shaping their con- have had their fair proportion of the “ills that flesh \is heir to.” The storm must have done some h@m in the vicinity of New York, particularly towards | New Jersey. The city was actuilly flooded during | the continuance of the storm, the rain having fallen | in torrents. The atmosphere yesterday was pure and | exhilirating; and the sewers, which were in a most filthy condition, have all undergone a thorough pu- | rifieation, removing much filth and nuisance. The Park presented yesterday morning a very sad ‘appearance ; limbs of trees were strewed all over the grass. On the Broadway side of | the City Hall, towards the back,a willow measuring | some thirty-four or thirty-six inches in cirenmfer- ence was completely torn down to about ten inches | from the ground. Another tree, somewhat larger, | Was also torn down in Orchard street. The Battery and the yard of Dr. Spring’s Church, at the corner | of Beekman street, also suffered considerably; many lurge limbs of trees broken by the wind are laying about inall directions. The tin roof of the house at the corner of Courtland and Washington streets, and part of another in West street, below Green- wich, were entirely torn off. What surprised us most, was to see that notwithstanding the vio- lence of the wind, the walls of several of the honses barnt during the last conflagration resisted its eflects, and are still standing, endangering greatly the safety of the passers by. In Broadway considerable damage has been done to the awnings and posts—the latter in several in- stances have been torn up and thrown some 30 or 40 feet distance—the canvasses literally torn to ribbons. The roofs of houses in all directions have been more or less stripped. About half an hour after the storm commenced;a large sign board was blown duct in reference to the succession—that they are | with great violence from one of the stores adjoin each aspiring to be Mr. Polk’s successor—that they | ingthe Franklin House, which was shivered to are respectively the representatives of two powerful | sections of the democracy, whose interests are by | n> means identical, or in harmony; but above ally | that they entertain views on vital questions, totally at | variance, the one with the other. In what has been said, as to their opposition to the Oregon question, there certainly is nothing exaggerated or exception- | able. It is beyond dispute, that while Mr. Secre- | tary Walker echoes the uncompromising views of the West and South, the views of Mr. Buchanan are of the moderate and conciliatory kind, to a de- gree edequute to excite the difference said to exist But there is still another ground of collision between them. The man of Pennsylvania is for the taritl, and will not be induced to assent to the modifications it is about to undergo al the hinds of the Secretary of the Treasury. He cin either by a tacit con-ent or active co-opera- tion lent his countenance to this favorite project of his rival without forfeiting at once the support of his con-tituents, his own convietions,and the no less dear | design of being next President of the United States These are no id e conjectures; they are well founded assertions, which cannot be denied by those who know best, ifthey speak the truth. Bat la verité west prs toujours bonne ddire, as they say in France ; hence it is not wonderful if we hearthem denied, as well as the results justly attributable to their agency. nor is there anything strange in the cautious silence of Mr. Buchanan himself upon the whole subject. Let it be recollected that the position of the Se- eretiry of State is such in the Cabinet, that his in- clinations cannot indicate what his future acts may be. It would notfollow, that, because he may not be anxious to secede from the administration, he might not be compelled to take that step. He may feel his fitness to serve his country, and desire to do it, but he may also reluctantly experience a pressure from his colleagues which will leave him no option but to | 8 parate from them or furego his honest convictions, aid we believe he isnot a manto take the latter alter- native. Who then can promise for Mr. B. that he wij} not throw up his office? Can he say so himself? Certainly not, and it isin vain for the “ Unton” to mike assertions in the face of strong probability Hear what we svill to the contrary, there are differ- ences of opinion, and conflicting interests in the Ca- binet, which neither can be hushed nor reconciled. Texas is disposed of, but as long as Oregon remains there will be a bone of contention for the ad. Ministration as at present constituted. On this great question, the South and the West will have their own way, despite of all the influence that can be brought to oppose them. Mr. Walker is an exponent of the principles that must triumph in the deliberations of the government—he knows his strength, and will use it with dexterity, not only to- wards the settlement of the question ot foreign po- licy, but to subserve his legitimate ambition ; and, in so doing, he will have the sanction of the chi- valric South, and the giant West, and a fair prospect of being the successor of young Hickory. Tue Late Great Fire —The military have all been withdrawn from the ‘ burnt district,” and the rains were yesterday thronged with people. ‘men are activelyemployed in digging out the bricks; goods, safes and rubbish, preparatory to rebuilding. Several contracts for new and splendid stores have been made, and in a short tine all will be rightagain. We regret to learn that in the midst of the confusion and difficulty of the sufferers in obtaining locations | for carrying on their business, there are found men who will take advantage of their situation, and dou- ble the rentsof the buildings in request. This has been the case in several instances. It is not yet ascertained how many lives have been Jost. Mr. Olerich states that there were only three men in his store at the time of the explosion. He! states however, that there were eight or ten men in the store opposite, occupied by Mr. W. C. Maitland, and that those, he fears, have all perished in the ‘Twenty gentlemen of the First Ward have contri- buted to the amount of $1,000, $50 each, for the re-| li-t of the poor. The contributors have appointed Mr. Cruikshanks, Alderman Charlick, and John Couer, as a committee of distribution. As the Work- | pieces on the opposite side walk ; an awning with the name of George Gibbs & Co. with a heavy post attached, was found in the morning in Rector street, near Broadway. It is supposed to have been blown from Washington street, near Rector st The house No.51 Elm street, was struck with lightning, but the damage received was trifling — The large tree opposite the house was completely cut ir two, and a person named Mike Wallace, passing at the time, was injured very severely. He, how- ever, recovered his senses in about twenty minutes. Io Brooklyn the storm raged with equal fury, and with li beyond the destruction of afew » We have heard of no damage being done to life or property, Conviction AND SENTENCE OF GREEN, AT TRoy.— reen, the wretch who poisoned his wife, unéer cirenmstances that greatly aggravated the enormity | of his guilt, has been sentenced to be hanged on the | 10th of September next. The address of Judge Par- ker to the convict, isan admirable one of its kind itbreathes the spirit of inflexible justice, without any of the mawkish and false compassion for villa- ny that we often see an indulgence in from the bench. The jury did their duty honestly ; they did well and truly try the prisoner, and pronounced him guilty ; and he now awaits the fate that will snrely be his at the approaching time. We wish we had such judges and juries as sat on this case, in New York ; there would not be so many motions for new | (ri.ls, nor murderers and murderesses escaping as | ‘here are now, nor so many occasions of fanatical triumph for the anti-hangman party, whose exulta- tions know no bound when a felon escapes the gal- lows. | Accwwen1 To THE KyickeRnockER—When abou, | ten miles below Catskill her walking beam broke | near the end, with something of a crash, carrying | with it the piston;rod, cyclinder, and some other | parts of the machinery, causing no little alarm. No | one, however, was hurtin the least. The Empire being close at hand, came alongside and took off her passengers, leaving her at anchor on the spot — The K. was towed to the city, and will soon be in running order again. It is said that there was no racing or unusual speed to cause the break down. | Marine Court —The Common Couneil have re- solved to remove the Marine Court from its present location to the site at present ocenpied by the Ame- rican Institute, and allow the latter to succeed to the building at presentoccupied by the Marine Court.— ‘The change is a good one. fxg Hon. Judge Bronson, of Florida, and his ex- celleney Gov. Dudley, of North Carolina, have ar- rived in the city, and occupy apartments at the Ame- rican Hotel. } Theatricals, | Park Tugarre.—Mr. Coeuriot having recovered, | the company has announced for to-night the second | representation of La Juive, a great opera, composed | by one of the first musical writers of E urope, Mr. Halévy. Nearly all the first talents of the company, | Mile. Calvé, Madame Casini, and Messrs. Arnaud, | Douvry, Couriot, and Garry, appear. ‘This, al- though a very great inducement to the lover of thea- | trical performances, is not the only one, for the | sceneries, dresses, &c., ate all of a very costly and magnificent kind, and, as was fairly eahibited at | the first{representation, ngither Mr. Davis, the very | active director of the company, nor Mr. Fiot, the | able stage manager,y have neglected anything | lo give to opera the greatest éclat. The audience, lat the first representation, was very numerous, and all who assisted expressed themselves perfectly sa- | tisfied withit. LE-verything, therefore, tends to con | firm the expectation that the second one will be no less brilliant, both on the part of the company, and of | the public. | Ninto's Garpen.—Mrs, Mowatt is an extraordi- nary exception to the numerous debutantes who | have commenced the histrionic profession. She is ilready possessed of a graceful action, unattainable butby years of incessant practice. She is making names of the late residents of the First Ward are | ‘vid strides to the highest pinnacle of theatrical known from the census, under the late appointment | Popularity. To-night she again plays Pauline, in to Mr. Potter, there can be no danger of imposition The funds are all ready, —eneeneenenenansiun, OverFLowlic wih Parriotism.—The Natives held an indignation meeting at their Hall on Mon- day, and passed strong resolutions against the pro- scription of Native watchmen, by the Common Council now in power. &: Mayor Harper and others made one or two putriotically indignant speeches, which were received vociferously by the **outs.” ‘ democratic Mr. Asunet Swiva.—This gentleman, who hus been rather conspicuous in the recent Texas nego- tiation, in which “the man with the white hat’ took an active part, arrived in the Great Western Ue has reached home just in time to read the “pufis,” | fresh from the press, which the Texas papers are lavishing upon him. —_—_—_ Tue Weatwen.—Yesterday was a very hot day, | yer the mercury did not go above 83 degrees in shade.

Desjardins will also con- | | ‘nibute to the delight of the audience by her spirited | dancing. VAUXHALL Garpen.—All who wish tospend their evening agreeably, should attend the performanees Sporting Intelligence. Be.con Course, Horoxen, Yesrerpay.—There sporting. The grand mateh between Jumes K. Polk and J. C. Calhoun did not come off, in consequence of mutual lameness. It appeared that among the sporting circles such was likely to be the case, con- sequenily the attendance was rather limited, and the sport in unison. Indeed, it was thought previously that there would be no show at all—nothing for mo- ney. But such was not the ‘case. The proprietor when he knew that the “grand match” was not coming off, directed that only half price should be charged for admittance to the different parts of the ground. This is as it should be—indeed, as taras sport went, the whole affuir might as well have been pntoff altogether. Such things are ruinous to sport. There canbe no confidence that matters announced willcome off if these things are repeated time alter time. ‘The only attempt at sport offered, was a purse of some $100, between Gen. Dunkam’s b. m. Funny Jenks, and Mr. Bridges’ ch. h, Robin. Every thing having been arranged for this match, the parties making up their weight, &e., they wentforth. At the commencement of the first mile, Robin took the lead, which he maintained some two or three tengths in front to the quarter in 47s, He kept thus to the half, where Robin was up, in 1:33. Fanny went in front, and took the lead some five lengths in front, which she kept home, coming in much in h» same position, completing the first mile thus in 3:01. “Second Mile—At every attempt of the driver of Robin to go forward, he broke ; consequently Fan- ay came in almost a distance in front, easy, in 3:03. T ‘he third mile was, as the Irishman raid, ditto, repeated, the same over again, in 5:11 ‘ he fourth mile Robin somewhat decreared the space between him and his leader, but with uot nuch etfect, and went off at asome what better rate, but it was not with much effect, and the other came inin305 BY The, fifth mile was much the same. The General \ppeared to know he had it all his own way, and acted accordingly, and made the next mile in 8:04, winning the purse. 3 : : The total ume made, according to the judges, in the five miles, was 15:24. Some on the club stand i ade it 15:20, and 15:21, which caused some grum- oling. Patnos or THe Orcan —The Washington Union contains the following morceau : We have seen a man—anda young man, and a young iginian, ardent southern sun could make him—re- moved from office in the South, and come to Washington —notto complain, not to murmur his grievances, not to persecute the administration-—but calmly to lay the facts before them, with which he supposed them unacquainted —and bearing himself with sv much dignity and respect forthe feelings of others, that every one who saw him felt a disposition to listen to his tales every one who tened felt disposed to serve him ; and finally his merits, thus set off with the dignity which became him, were re- warded with a better office than the one of which he had been deprived.” ‘This “ardent ” young Virginian ought to be placed in some conspicuous spot in Washington, so that the public can have an opportunity seeing him.

Coxon Pieas, aay 22.—Before Judge Ulshefier.— Dominick Kaarls vs Peter Oliman and Wife—This was an action of assault and battery. “he parties are in humble circumstances, and the assault originated in what is called a scolding match, passing through t! ° al preiiminary ordeal, involving some petty sland Kaails, on the occasion referred to,fon t went to the house of defendants, it kod up a bobbery,” calling it of unme able na Defendant Oliman being a lame and helpless man, t ife Maria took up the cud- gels for him, and both (though old) laid on Kaarl, it was alleged, so as to compel him soon to retreat. Kaarl ix quite a young man, and ought be able to beat six dozen hike the poor old lame man Oliman, and his feeble old wife. The defence set up by the old couple was, that Kaarl very cooly spat in the tace of Mrs. Oliman, on be- ing werned to leave the premises, she deeming hima nuisance, upon which she turned and “boxed his ears.” ‘The testimony caused considerable laughter. Verdict for defendants, Superior Covrt,July 22—Before a full Bench.—Drect- si1ons.—Francis del Hoyo vs. Benjamin Brundred.—This was an application by the defendant to be discharged on filing common bail.” The facts of the case were these. The plaintif; a merchant in New York in 1842, com- menced a suit against the defendant for libel, and upon affidavit, bail was ordered by Judge Vanderpoel in the sum of $6,000. The capias was returned “not found,” and an alias issued, which was also returned not found About fifteen months after the return, the alias, an agent of the Vera Cruz line of packets, gave the attorney for the plaintiff notice that the defendant had just arrived from Mexico, aud was about to proceed to New Jersey. Upon this the attorney forthe plaintiff gave directions to his clerk to obtain a new order to hold to bail and second capias, but if no Judge could be found, then to sue the writ asa pluries, and endorse on it notice of fo: mer order to hold to bail. No Judge could not%be found, and the writ was ed as a pluries, and the defendant arrested upon it, as he was about to leave the city for noon proceeded from some cotton which is stowed in Old Slip, which was taken there from the ruins in Stone street since the great fire. We don’t know whether per- sons have been mischievous enough to make bad worse, or whether sparks may have remained in the pile at the time of removal. Atall events it would be well to have it removed to some place where danger of any kind may be bailed. It wouki be not only a dear, but a sad piece of business, if the storehouses in the neighborhood were to catch fire by not using proper precaution in time. We sincerely hope it may be attended to by the owners of the property, or by the proper authorities. Fineworks—Rocxerts.—The pianoforte wareroom and dwelling house of Mr. J. Rockett, 492 Broadway, nar- rowly escaped destruction on Monday eveming.in conse- quence of a rocket descending on the roof of the house. The shingles became ignited, and had it not been for the timely warning and assistance of some gentlemen pass- ing, the whole building would undoubtedly have been in flames. Mr. Rockeit thinks rocket-shooting at this sea- son ofthe year,a very dangerous amusement, andone which should be immediately put a stop to by the proper authorities—to all which we agree, and sincerely hope Mr. Rockett wiil not again have occasion to complain of the visits of such dangerous namesakes, Conoxen’s Orrick, July 22.—Effects of the Heat —The Coroner was called to hold an inquest on the body of therine Rolland, 63 Orange street, who died of intem- are to the heat. ‘Also, on the body of a man,named Phillips, 145 Orange street—congestion of the brain caused by heat. Disease of the Lungs —The Coroner held an inquest on the body of Mrs. Fuller, 12 Mangin street, who died of disease of the lungs.

Dr. Rees —The Committee to whom was referred the case of Dr. Rees, against whom certain charges were preferred by inhabitants of the different wards, for undue exercise of his official duties in relation to the Bible in the Common Schools, reported back to the Board, stating their inability to take action on the subject because of the non-attencance of Dr. Rees before the Committee. and requesting the Board to take up the investigation oi the subject matter contained in the charges. "The Board resolved to take up the subject, and investi- ate the matter fully,at B o'clock on Thursday next,when Br. Re | be heard through counsel. ‘The Board then adjourned. Brooklyn City Intelligences Pesiic Mretinc.—An adjourned meeting of the citi- "zens of Brooklyn will be held on Wednesday eveni at Hall's Buildings, to hear the report of the committee appointed at the meeting on Monday evening, as to the best means of preventing fires by putroling the streets As every precaution should be used at this season, when nearly all the public cisterns (on which the citizens of Brooklyn mainly rely) are now empty, it is to be hoped that a general attendance will be given. ‘The storm on Tuesday morning removed the roof of a house in Clinton street, near Amity, to an adjoining house, without doing any other damage. “mya Sourn Fenny.—The citizens are waiting anxiously for the proposed arrangement of running the boats until 12 | o'clock.

Porice Orrice, Turspay.—Quarrel among the Ladies— Throwing Water.—Mins Catherine Chace, a very pretty girl, with dark eyes flashing with anger—cheeks all pur- ple and clothes all wet, came to the Police office to-day, and complained of Mrs. Hunt, 44 Whitehall street, who had thrown four buckets of clean water over her and one infeket of dirty water. The offence was aggraved, in her opinion, by throwing the clean water first, and the dirty water afterwards, A warrant was issued and Mra, Hunt arrested. Grand Larceny.—-Patrick McKinney, 42 Whitehall st., public porter, was arrested charged with stealing forty yards of broadcloth, worth $60. Passing Counterfeit Money.—Oflicers Stephens and Hey rested “a gentleman from the South,” named Jo- seph P.

The pplication to discharge is founded upon two ground e Ist, that there was in t no order to hold to bail ;and the 2d, that it was irregular to issue a pluries unless it had been regularly connected with the original writ from term toterm. ‘After notice of this motion, the plaintiff filed, it was alleged, a oon- trivance record, such as is usual in order to save the sta- tute of limitations. With regard to the first ground for setting aside the arrest, to wit, the want of a second or- der to hold to bail, the Court had, no doubt that the or- der regularly should be renewed upon each writ, as it seems to have been the practice to issue successive writs without a new order, not only in this Court, but also in all others in this State, and as the Sheriff had usually arrested upon a mere notice of the former order, and sometimes from the memorandum in his own books. The Court, in the present instance, held that the origi- nal orier was sufficient. Hereafter, however, they should require a new order upon edch writ, and it rested in the dis-retion of the Judge whether or not to require a new affidavit. Upon the second ground, viz.,'that the pluries were not eonnected with the original capias, the Court considered that the filing of the continuance record before the hear- ing of the motion to discharge, obviated the objection This had been always the practice, in order to save the statute of limitations, The record in such cases was never filed until after the arrest, usually not until after a motion to discharge the defendant, and the Courts have uniformly refused to look behind the record. Aftera careful review of all the authorities, the Court consider- ed that the filing of this record * mime pra func,” was suf- ficient. Besides the words in this writ making it a plu- ries, might be rejected as surplusage, and it might be treated as an ariging) writ, and the former order to hold to bail used, it being still in force.

This was about as queer and foolish acase as wasever brought into court. Mrs. Jennings, the de- fendant, is the sister of Mary Currier, the betrothed of Arthur Husten, the plaintiff. One evening, Wallace Currier, a brother to the lad: called upon his unmar- cied sister, Mary, and subsequently reported to Mrs. Jennings, his married sister, that he had seen Mary in bed with the carpenter. This information distressed Mra.'Jennings exceedingly, and overwhelmed her with sorrow and shame, not unmixed with indignation, at the enormity which had been committed by Mary and her Arthur, before even the banns of marriage had been published. The next momiss, yet before her nerves nad been restored to tranquillity, she penned the fol- lowing letter to her sister and Husten “ From 8. D. J.—Knowing it to be a fact : Mary—I don’t know how to express myself in this ase, itis most horrible. What do you think of nd what do youthink people will think ot your actions and conduct ?

After such conduct can you expect to be respected any more in good society ? “Do you think your circle of acquaintances will associate with you? Why not get married? What are you waiting for ? Your conductis at only adisgrace to yourself, but your brothers anJ sisters. What do you think 'your father and mother would think to hear of this, and unless youare published before a week, they will Mr Husten—these few lines I write, which is my duty. and do it with heart-rending spirits. "What do you think of the actions you have been guilty of with Mary, since she came from home ? Do you think she is without « protector, that you have gone on and accomplished you: heilish purposes, if | may be permitted to express my sel? Ifyou were what you ought to bo, and pretend tv be, inthe place of doing what you have done, you would uide andprotect her-stand by her till the last breath. fi tue pléoe of taking care of her, you are trying to ruin her. Why not get married ? If you are not publishsd, or something else done soon, I shall acquaint father ani mother.” ‘This indignant epistle Mrs. Jennings sent to Mary by her sister Paulina, with directions to tell Mary to show itto Mr. Husten, the plaintiff. Thus was the publica- tion of the libel made out. The defence was, that the charge made in the letter was true, and commnnicate: in confidens is advice for the benefit of the parties to whom it was addressed. Wallace Currier testified that the evening before the letter was written, he called to seo his sister Mary twice. He went into her chamber, in the first instance between eight and nine o'clock, without knocking, and found her lying across the bed, by the side of Husten Both were fully dressed, and were lying on the top 0 the coverlet. After ten, he called again that same night, with some nuts as a present for Mary, and entered as be- fore without knocking, an’ again foitnd them on the bed, lying lengthways of the bed, dressed as before, and ove: tie bed clothes, but Arthur had his arm around Mary's waist, lary was called to contradict her brother, and swore that she had never laid on the bed with Arthur, in the manner described by her brother, or inany other man ner. For the defence, it was maintained that as the defend- ant honestly..believed her sister to be geiting into a ba: and dangerous course, it was her duty to admonish, cau- tion, and rebuke her; and that being her senior, and the parents not being in the city, she stood in loco parentis in yelation to Mary. _ThisMorning the jury returned a verdict for the plain- tidl, giving five dollars damages.—Boston Post, July 21.

In 1835 and 1336, the operations of the Banks of that State were very ‘imited, and they have not at any time been inflated to vny extent. From 1837 there has been a very steady in- crease in the banking capital of the State, and there hay not been any fluctuations of consequence in the Hiscounte, The amount of specie on hand has at all »xceeded the amount of paper circulation. The State of ‘lissouri hagnot been subjected to the immense specula” sions that have swept over nearly every other State in the Union. There has been’ a steady improvement in its »rosperity,and the principal commercial places within its limits have experienced a rapid growth. Its own banking system has proved sufficient to carry every commercial movement, and the issues 4 banks of neighboring State have found little wor with the gold and silver ideas of the people o issouri. The yellow boys have literally floated up the listissippi,and the banks and citizens of Missouri have ecured an amount sufticient to place their cireulatin sedium upon a specie basis. Amidst all the commercia evulsions of the country—amidst the explosions of the vanking systems of many of the States—amidst the mania o general in other States for the contraction of immens, tate debts—Missouri has nearly escaped untouched. — Che mania for building public improvement that 1a8 involved so many States in debt, to an extent far be” vond their ability to pay, never obtained foothold in Mis .ouri, and the general prosperity of all classes of the veople of that State has been, therefore, permanently srovided for.
