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- ‘hers 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 cityor 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 fortunes.

'e [Correspondence of the Herald.} Wasuineton, Sept. 26, 1845. _, Bxpedition to California. 1 notice in your paper an article on a proposed ex- pedition to California. Allow me to furnish those young gentlemen, who ate to compose this expedi- tion, with some information which may be of im 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 Pacitic side, where I shall charter a vessel to convey me to Monterey. California is admitted by all who are 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 produemg 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 fora new country, will give to all settlers from one to ten squate 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 huadred young men, even | atthe gold and silver mines, which are situated within a short distance of Monterey. _ In fact, 1 know of no country which offers so great inducements, to young and enterprising gen- tlemen, 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. 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, ao to 1) many of the former eeaene large lan led properties—that they are beth beautiful and virtuous—and the length of the | journey by land to Califorma, from St. Louis, would | be a strong reason why few females should accom- | pany the expedition, unless they go by sea; and the above letter informs me that a vessel called the Ma- riposa, will sail from New York on the Ist October, another on the Ist December, and one from Balti- | more on the Ist January. By 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 ‘Wasuineton, Sept. 29, 1845. For some days past there has been quietly sitting | in the 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 ARRINGTON, | 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 passed at the last Congress authorizing the Board of Examination in the pre- mises, now in convention. E ‘The charges against Lieutenant McLaughlin may snbetantially be embodied under one spevifivation, | profligate extravagance ot the public moneys as ee } Tareer of the Florida squadron, and outrageous “| cruelty to the men under his command. The Court of Inquiry consists of Commodore M. President; Commanders H. W. Ogden, and C. Kk. Stribling, Associates ; Philip Barton, Esq., Judge Advocate. Lieutenant McLauglin is his var net itn ho have made their aj mong the witnesses who ha’ arance, are Lieutenants John Rodgers, C. R. P. Rodgers, Thomas T. Sloan; Passed Midshipmen, A. Db. 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. I; G. P.

The examination of Colonel Simonton | occupied a long time, in consequence of cross ques- tions and conversations upon 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 Tennis of the wasteful extravagance by Purser McLaugh public moneys to the account of the Florida squad- in of the Bi i ‘ "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.
