Such does not ap- pear to have been the case; onthe contrary, when the goods were taken to his office by a colored girl, to be pledged, he at once stopped them, and took immediate meas to restore them to the owners;the correction is therefore cheerfully made, although no censure was in- tended to be imputed to Mr. Jackson at the time. _ Movements of Travellers. _The arrivals are multiplying so rapidly that the prin- cipal hotels appear as much embarrassed for accommo: dation as they were during the past month.

The importations of merchandise in the early part | ofthe calendar year 1844, was so very heavy, and the exports comparatively so very limited, that sterling exchange advanced from 8] a 9 per cent in May, to 10 a 10} per cent in October and November. This | rapid rise in the premium for st rling exchange, created a demand for specie for expo: ion, and the shipments in four months from this port alone, amounted to $4,418,018. ‘The exportation of specie decreased very much after November, but exchange kept just belowa | A: specie point, and has been firm at rates ruling from 9} to 10 per cent since. The importations of this port | have not fallen off much within the past year, but the exportation of merchandise has increased, | placing our foreign trade im a more favorable con- | dition than it was throughout 1844, The shipments of specie have been very much reduced by the cautious operations of the Banks. These institutions have con- fined their movements more to the legitimate business of the city than usual—their lines of discount have been pretty well extended, and nothing but short paper has been taken. Stock speculators have this season re- ceived very little aid from the banks, but they have not, on that account, been much restricted in their re- sources. Capital from private sources has been abun dant, and the rate of interest has consequently been re- | duced. The banks have, by their cautious movements been able to hold on to their specie, and by the restric- tions placed upon the money market have kept the pre* mium for exchange just below a specie point. The longer this state of things continues the better, as it operates as a wholesome check upon commercial affairs generally, and keeps down speculations. peake and Ohio Canal Company hi en- tered into a contract for the completion of the canal to Cumberland within two years from this time, and the agents of the State of Maryland have approved the con’ tract.

In October, 1844, many of the banks declared but 2} per cent dividend, and in one instance only 2 percent. The banking capital of Boston is now but three hundred and seventy thousand dollars larger than it was in October, 1843. The value of the capital, according to the average dividends for ten years, had decreased in October, 1843, from $17,110,000 to $16,460,972, considered as a six per investment. The dividends received by the twenty-four banks in Boston for the ten years to 1341 inclusive, or since they commenced paying dividends, indicate the value of their aggregate capital as a six per cent invest- ment, or the sum on which six per cent per annum has been received, to have been in October 1341, $16,76 -,289 77, or less than the par of $17,110,000 by the sum of $341,- 710 23, and in October 1843, $16,160,972 27, which was Jess than the par by the sum of $649,027 73, having suf. fered a depreciation of $307,817 60 in 1842 and 1843. ‘The capital of the 24 banks in 1841 and 1843 was $17,- 110,000, and the aggregate capital for ten years $171,- 100,000. The aggregate dividends for the ten years to 1841, indicate the value of it as a six per cent investment, or the sum on which interest been only $167,682,897 69, or less than the par by the sum of $3,417,102 31, or $941,710 23 per annum. The amount $3,417,102 31 was unproductive, thereon is $205,026 14 in ten years, or $20,502 61 per an- num, which has been a loss to stockholde: ‘The aggregate dividends for ten years to 1843, indicate the value of the aggregate capital to have been for that timeasa6 per cent investment, $161,609,722 69, or the sum on which interest has been received, or less than the par by the sum of $6,490,977 31, or $649,027 73 per ann— which has been a less to stockholders. The ditference between these two amounts, or $3,073,175 for ten years, or $307,317 50 per annum, which last is the depreciation of the value of the capital $17,110,000 of the 24 banks in Boston in 1842 and 1843. This difference, or the depreci_ ation in two years, indicates a loss of interest to stock. holders of $184,390 50 in ten years, or $18,439 05 per an- num, and amounts to 1-56th of the whole capital or 1-55th of the value of the capital in 1841. The whole deprecia” tion, $619,027 73 amounts to more than 1-25th part of the capital, $17,110,000, Since 1843, the capital invested in banking in Boston has paid more than six per cent per annum. The average dividend declared payable on the 6th of Oct, 1845, was at the rate of 6} percent onthe whole banking capital of the city. Tho increased business of Boston, without corresponding increase in the banking capital, gives that in existence more active employment. This im- provement in the per cent interest paid by the banks,will raise such investments in the minds of the capitalists of that section of the country and improve the value of the stocks, so long as the amount of capital invested in that | business remains reduced, but any increase in the prefis of these institutions, creates an anxiety among capita. lists to get up new banks or increase the capitals of the old, and applications are made at once to the legislature for additional banks, and by the old banks for an addition. al capital. In this way the banking capital of all the principal cities becomes too large, and the competition for its employment expands the currency, stimulates spe- culation in the staple articles of commerce, and conse- quently deranges trade generally. ‘The banking capital of Boston is large enough to afford all the facilities the merchants of that city or vicinity actuallyrequire to carry on their legitimate business for the next ten years, no matter what the increase may be, and by keeping down the amount of capital, the currency would every year become more valuable as trade increased, and we should not hear of so many cases of bankruptcy, and the almost instantaneous loss of immense fortune: bea more gradual increase in business, but it would be permanent and healthy; ‘there would be none of those ruinous reactions that now sweep away so many mer- | cantile houses whenever they come upon them.

Washt me [Censspenionseel tee Herald.] Wasnineron, Sept. 26, 1845. ___ Bxpedition to California. I notice in your paper an article on a proposed ex- pedition to California. Allow me to furnish those young gentlemen, who are to compose this expedi- tion, with some information which may be of ims portance to some of them. Ihave lived there five years—own twenty square leagues of land within twenty miles of Monterey, (U. C.) and have now in successful operation alarge milling establishment. I leave here on the Ist for New Orleans, thence to Vera Cruz, and across the country to Acapulco, on the Pacific side, where I shall charter a vessel to convey me to Monterey. California is admitted by all who aie conversant with the country to be the finest and best climate in all this world—the land is generally high and rolling, and capable of producing all the good things that grow in this country, with many of the delicious tropical fruits, without snow or ice in winter, and on the sea coast not uncomfortably hot in the sum- mer, with all kinds of wild game in abundance. — The commercial business of the coast is like that of all other new, thinly settled countries, small, compared with the cities of the Atlantic coast, but generally leaves an immense profit, without any risk or trouble, There are all kinds of fish to be had, (salmon, &c.) and an immense trade could be carried on with the United States, by saltiag them. ‘The provincial government, which is very good for a new country, will ee to all settlers from one to ten square leagues of land, provided they will agree to improve the same within one year from the time the land is granted. A great amount of money can be made annually | by a company of several hundred rome men, even atthe gold and silver mines, which are situated within a short distance of Monterey. _ nN In fact, I know of no country which offers so great inducements, to young and enterprising gen- uemen, as California ; and should three thousand, even, from the Atlantic cities, see fit to try their fortunes in that delightful country, I think they will never regret it. ‘i Some few days since I received a letter from a German gentleman in New York, who informed me that about 200 Germans were enrolled at St. Louis, to go with the expedition forming in New York, Boston, and other of the seaboard cities, and ask- ing me for information on some points. I can only say that the proportion of females to males, in Cali- fornia, is very great, (10 to 1) many of the former possessing large landed properties—that they are beth beautiful and virtuous—and the length of the journey by land to California, from St. Louis, would | be a strong reason why few fe | pany the expedition, unless they go by sea; and the females should accom- above letter informs me that a vessel called the Ma- more on the Ist January. [sy these vessels those | who are married might take passage with their fam- ilies, and save much fatigue, &c. I shall be happy to give you any information in regard to C. which f may possess, and therefore give you my address. ‘WasuineTon, Sept. 29, 1845. For some days past there has been quietly sitting inthe chamber of the Navy Department, opposite the room of Mr. Bancroft, a committee of naval offi- | cers in examination of the case of Lieutenant John T. McLaughlin. Lieut. McLaughlin was purser of the squadron em- | ployed along the coast during the late Florida war, in co-operation with the land forces, from 1838 to 1842. Serious charges of corruption, it appears, were first brought against the Lieutenant by Mr. Charles H. Winder, a clerk in the State Department. A dis- cussion followed between these two gentlemen, through the columns of the Intelligencer, but grow- ing two strong’in personalities, it was at length cut short by the editors. At least, this is our recollec- tion of the controversy. Lieutenant McLaughlin desired an investigation in® these charges of cor- ruption urged against him by Mr. Winder, and in compliance with his wishes and the interests of the | service, a resolution was pace at the last Congress authorizing the Board of Examination in the pre- mises, now in convention. i ‘The charges against Lieutenant McLaughlin may substantially be embodied under one Spreifivation, | profligate extravagance ot the public moneys as . | Puree of the Florida squadron, and outrageous * | cruelty to the men under his command. he Court of Inquiry consists of Commodore M. 7 : "Commanders H. W. Ogden, and C. K. Stribling, Associates ; Philip Barton, Esq., Judge Advocate. Lieutenant McLauglin is his own counsel. _ : Among the witnesses who have made their a) arance are Lieutenants John Rodgers, C. R. P. Rodgers, Thomas T. Sloan; Passed Midshipmen, A. D. Harrell, Charles Deas, Wilmer Shields, H. S. Wise, A. Murray ; Sergeant J. Pickett ; Private Thomas Callaghan; Passed Midshipman J. C. Adams; Corporal C. Shields, of the late Florida squadron; Col. J. W. Simonton, a merchant. at Key West; W. H. Wall, a member of the Florida, Senate ; George E. Weaver and C. H. Winder of the State Department ; J. W. McBlair, Hon. Henry T. Cranston, R. 1; G. P. Andrews, U. 8. A.5 Passed Midshipmen Edward Donaldson, Smith M. Purdy, of N.Y.; W. Penn Frailey, Canton, Ohio. _ During the sittings of last week, the fourth Audi- | tor, A. G. Dayton, and Mr. Etheridge, and Mr. H. Mechlin, two of hig clerks, were examined res- pecting the vouchdis of the department in this case, and upon the authenticity of certain letters connect- ed with these Florida transactions. 7 To-day Colonel Simonton was examined. He testified that the prices paid by Lieutenant Mc- Laughlin for provisions, &c., were not extravagant, all things considered—the climate—the scarcity of provisions—the difficulty of procuring them, &c.— le certified to a letter written by him some woe ago, justifying Lieut. McLaughlin in his purchases of provisions, as not having paid inordinate prices for them. The examination of Colonel Simonton occupied a long time, in consequence of cross ques- tions and conversations Wee the comparative prices of provisions at New York, Indian Key and Key West. ‘ ‘The material witness in the case, Mr. C. H Winder, was then called forward to detail his va- rious specifications as from the records, of the wasteful extravagance by Purser McLaughlin of the public moneys to the account of the Florida squad- ron. - Lieut. McLaughlin, however, is sanguine that he will make it all appear before the Committee as plain as would have been the starving out of Gen. Gaines by the Seminoles, had’he not been relieved in season, Further details to-morrow. General items next HE SUBLIME ORATORIO of The Mount of Olives, | mail.
