The Government Finances—What System WI be Adopted 7 The silence of the Finance Committees of both Houses of Congress, in relation to ways and means to meet the expenses incurred in carrying on the war with Mexico, is, under all the cireum- stances,very extraordinary and very unaccounta- ble. While the country at large is anxiously wait- ing the developement of some system for provi- ding immediate means, and for the establishment of some permanent policy in retation to our coi- mercial systems, the time and attention of Con- gress is ulmost exclusively occcupied with matters of minor importance, which could, wi:hout being detrimental to any general or public interest, be left for after consideration. Until the three great measurs now under consi- deration, are disposed of in some way, there can can be noimprovementin any thing connected with our foreign or domestic trade. The contem- plated financial policy of the government is, at this time, creating the most intense ar ety, as the various money markets of the country are keptin a very contracted conditian,in consequence of the uncertainty that hangs over the disposal of the deposits held by the banks of this city, and the fears entertained that specie drafts for large sums may be at any moment presented for pay- iment. We have given, inthe money article inthis day’s paper, a review of the movements of Con- gress in relation to the financial and commercial measures now under consideration, and we refer all those interested to he remarks made under that head. The adjournment of Congress is anxiously look- ed for. The people are getting tired of the delay, and would prefer an adjournment without per- fecting any of the bills before either body, to x more protracted session. Will some one tell us when Congress intends adjourning? _ “Wwrortant From Wasnincron.—We have 1e- ceived intelligence, from an authentic source at Washington, that negotiations of a perfectly as- tonishing character are in progress between the LD.

The main | Spring of the movement which, .1 a few weeks, | otfered seventy thousand able and willing men, | to repel invasion and avenge murder, is that ad- venturous spirit peculiar to our country. It is characteristic of the nauon, and indicative of our power. It is thought that the victories of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma alone, would be the means of revolutionizing the whole of Mexico; but it appears that aaother element, mightier than that of the sword, a free press, disseminating true republican doctrines, and spreading the offer of freeden among the depressed inhabitants of Mexico—is now at work. It is peehaps too early to estimate the effect the establishment of the American newspaper in Matamoras will have on the mass of the Mexican people. Itis the first tune that the inhabitants of the provinces of Taumaulipas, Coahuila, New Leon, and, Chiluahua, have had an opportunity of seeing net only the emptiness of 2 Mexican manifesto, but the true workings of liberty, They first witness the power of freedom, and are then offered either the protection of the hand that wields it, or the mode to throw off the yoke that has so long confined them,and to acquire | the same strength for themselves that we enjoy. This newspaper enterprise has commenced the work of independence in these provinces, with the same views, but under infinitely more favorable circumstances that possessed Colonel Austin, who, in 1821, planned the independent government in Texas. This paper raises the flag of freedom, not in a lonely settlement, opposed to a power | ignorant of American energy, to a people drilled by long suffering to passive obedience, but With the cannon of victorious troops sounding in the distance, with an army, day by day increasing } en the soil; and amid a people oppressed by tyranny, and deserted by cowardice, now urged to achieve their freedom. Before many months there will be collected in Mexico at least 30,000 Americans, composed of the bone and sinew of the people, ready to handle either the musket or the plough. Let the war be finished, sooner or later, as it may be, probably 5000 of the volunteers who enter the Mexican country under arms, will, when their services are no longer required by our government, main in the invaded province. will discover the agricultural and mineral resources of the: land ;—they will see, with pro- re- Their eyes tunio, and hi; Seven gifted Servants.” The performances throughout ere very well received, and drew repeuted rounds of applause. Mrs. Hunt appeared perfectly at ease, and acted her part in each Hn with a t deal ofcredit. “Fortunio” will be repeated thi: ang, with the petit comedy of ‘Somebody Else,” and “ Did you ever send your Wife to Nowark”—a capital bill, and one that will no doubt draw a good house. Bowsry Tueatne.—The entertainments last evening were for the benefit of Mr. Hadaway, Owing tothe in- clemency of the weather, there was not so crowded a house as might etherwise have been expected. There was nevertheless a large and fashionable audience. The performances were ‘The Pilot,” “ The Butcher's Dog,” and the comedy of ‘‘ Mother and Child are Doing Well,” all of which went off remarkably well. This vening, that never failing source of attraction, Bannis- ter’s fine drama of ** Putnam,” is to be played, together with “ The Butcher's Dog.” Gaeexwien Turarae.—The performances last even- ing at this pretty little theatre, consisted of the drama of “The Freuch Spy” and the comedy of “ ‘The Honey- moon,” together with dancing and singing. Miss Caro- hapman appeared as Mathilde, in “ The French and received a great deal of applause. We like the acting of this lady; but her action is too re. dundant, and there is a certain stereotypeness in her mode that 1s very detrimental to her success. Miss Crauford appeared as Juliana, in ‘‘ The Honeymoon,” ‘amd we were greatly pleased with her quiet, graceful acting of the part. This young lady has all the attri- utes of a good actress. Sh been but a short time on the stage, and she already acts not only respectably, Dut so as to rec merited applause from discriminat- ing audiences, We trust she will be well sustained at the Greenwich. We should like to see the stage mana- ger enforce a greater attention to rehearsal on several members of the company who we perceived last night lamentably deficient in their parts, thus causing a great deul of confusion and annoyance to the principal actors. We cannot help noticing, in terms of hi Fraceful dancing of Miss ‘Malvina Pray, who appeared last evening, and again appears to-night. She is a very fascinating creature, and will be an Elssler one of these days. To-night, “The Devil’s in the Room,” ** Death Ship,” and “ The French Spy.” Castux Ganpex.—This delightful placo of amusement | is gaining in popularity every hour, and is now consi- dored the only place in the city where the warm even- ings can be passed away with comfort and pleasure. We would remind the lovers of sport that this is the only point from which a full and perfoct view of the great acht race that willtake place this day, can be had. We, therefore, advise those who will havo ladies under their charge; to go early and secure places, for no doubt every available space will be occupied. ‘The race will be very exciting, and will probably attract thousands to the Battery to witness it.

Livingston and James M. Turner.—This was an action for and battery, Te plaintiff is a pawnbroker, and fendants are police officers. Jt appeared from the testi- mony in the case, that on the 26th of November last the defendants went to Mr. Abrahams’ store, at a time when it was full of people, and in a peremptory manner called upon him to produce some property which had been d, at the same time throwing down | some pawn tickets ; the intiff’ refused, all they had no authority, and that he (plaintiff) was not bound to show his property to every person who might come and throw down a lot of pawn tickets, and demand the inspection of it. The defendants, or one of them, then ied they were sent by a judge; to which the plain- {if rejoined by saying, ifthey were he would have given them an order. They then commenced to abuse him, | anu Livingston said he was a damned scoundrel and that was his character. Plaintiff ordered them out of the store, and came from behind the counter intending to put them out, when Livingston put himself in a mena- cing attitude, and, as plaintiff approached, laid hands on him. A scufile then followed, and finally plaintiff suc- ceeded in ejecting them from the store; but when out- side, they spit in his face, and made use of very abusive | language, ind for the first time told him they were police ofticers, were sent by Justice Taylor, and that he (the _ plaintiff) had resisted their authority. i For the defence, it was shown that they were officers, and were acting under the authority of Justice Taylor. It was also coutended that the assault was only technical. Verdict in favor of defendant Turner, and against Livingston for $40 Mr. Jno. Leveredge for plaintiff, Mr. J. M. Smith and J. R.

This new and extraordinary move of Bishop Hughes, will cause a good deal of astonishment. “God is great, and Mahomet is his prophet!” Tur New Consvtax Bitt.—One of the most important provisions of the consular bill now be- fore Congress, is that which requires consuls to eorrespond regularly with the Department of State, embodying in their letters all the informa- tion which they can obtain relative to the condi- tion of agriculture, manufactures, the arts, com- merce, &c., in the countries where they shall be stationed. This is a provision which has long been need- ed. Great Britain has sent her special agents to every part of the world on which the sun shines, for te express purpose of procuring information \n these matters, while we, as a nation, not only have not done this, bat our consuls abroad have, heretofore, only been required to communicate whatever directly concerned the consular depart- ment. The growing greatness of our country renders it necessary that we should avail ourselves of every possible means of information upon the subjects which will conduce toa still further de- velopment. Each of the countries to which our consuls go can be made to add somewhat to our stock of knowledge ; and if the consul is faithful in the discharge of his duty, the wealth and in- formation of our country will be greatly and visi- bly'inereased jn a very short time. The varied information thus concentrated, will of course be diffused into every portion of the country, and we will derive the benefit from it. We should hope to see this bill become a law, if for no other reason than this. Increase or Emicration.—As will be seen by the following table, an unusual number of emi- grants have arrived at this port from Kurope during the present month. Heretofore the month of May has usually averaged a greater number than any other month, but, as will be seen below, aa ed emigrants for June of this year, has exceedet! tat for May by upwards of a thou- Other Ports . . Total... . tees Total for May, 1846 Difference in favor of June... ... Nearly all the passengers from France, and one thousand of those from Great Britain, are Ger- mans. The greater number of these emigrants are hardy, industrious, and entarprizing, and they will be a valuable acquisition to this country, as we have more than sufficient territory to afford a home to as many as may come. We will have the fertile country of California, and nearly the entire of Oregon, besides Yucatan, which is on the point of declaring for annexation, and the rich provinces of Northern Mexico. Who will say that there should be a check to emigration? ‘Tue Hien Paice or B reap.—It isan extraordi- nary fact, that notwithstanding the late reduction in flour, bread is no cheaper, and the loaves are quite as small as when flour was nearly three times as dear. Flour is now soldat from $8 75 to $4 a barrel, and the loafis no larger than when it was ten dollars per barrel. Itis now cheaper than it has been for the last ten years, and it will, in all probability, be still cheaper than it is; and atill there is no change in the price or size of a loafof bread. Thisisa piece of injustiee on the part of the bakers that the people should take in their own hands to punish, as there is unfortu- MAtely no law or ordinance to reach it. The best sode of punishing the injustice is to abstain from Let people purchase own flour, and make their own bread for three weeks, and the bakers will soon be glad to \ lower their prices, and to give something like a just weight of bread. People will save half their present expenses for bread by tho practice of baking their own bread, and the bakers deserve to have empty stores for a whole month for their dishonesty. We trust that housekeepers wil) unite in administering to them a proper rebuke. But wont some honest baker take it into his head to give us. cheap bread and thas make his fortune.

Had sails set. gather, confident in their alliance, and forever acquire a complete disenthralment from the cen- tral power of successive oppressors, who are chan- ged by every revolution, and uniting bat in one maxim, to ‘gather tribute from the people.”. ‘The Mexican people, whea once withdrawn from. bet their obscurity and ignorance, to see the real ben- efit derived from American institutions, will un- doubtedly embrace the same means to gain the same end that the Texians did. They will discover that their religious predelictions will not only not be interfered with, but respect- ed; that the doors of education will be open to them and their children ; that the only revolution togive them new rulers, will be the revolution of | public opinion; that, in one word, instead of anarchy and confusion, they will enjoy peace and prosperity, under a government which holds the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, in | equal estimation. | Those who have charge of the newspaper—the Republic of the Rio Grande—appear to be men of talent and experience, and seizing the most fa- vorab'e moment, they have made the first move towards a second Texas. Regardless whether the Mexicans form a government of their own, or | whether they choose to join themselves to the Uni- ted States, the sole view of this paper is to offer them freedom ; but yet, the end will be the same. ‘The independence of these four provinces once declared, nothing can prevent their ultimate des- tination; they will shine as stars in the flag which now is borne wnder the command of old “Rough and Ready,” through their territories. These provinces of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, New Leon and Chihuahua, with their 575,000 inhabi- tants, and their 350,000 square miles of territory, will as surely be annexed tothe United States, as itis true that the march of freedom and opposi- tion to all monarchical principles cannot be re- tarded on this continent. European influence and European balance of power, may be held up as bug-bears to verdant politicians, but American doctrines, and American liberty to protect and unite, is a matter of fact proposition, not to be up- held in theory only, but which is, and which will be, illustrated by practice. The Mexican government, or rather the Mexi- can President, has, by insult and aggression, in- volved himself ina war which can only tend to the dismemberment of the country. The Euro- | 3p pean aid probably relied on, has been tried and found wanting. Their own army has fought, and been dispersed. The people have been brought in familiar intercourse and friendly contact with those whom they have been taught to despise. Their reason, and what is a more powerful influ- ence, their interests, have been appealed to, In the path of conquest, cut by the sword of victory, hasappeared one bearing that moral engine which can only work for good where it is unfettered and guided by an unfettered mind. It shows them the way boldly to demand and obtain what they have aright toenjoy. The plots and intrigues of for- eign diplomatists, who would place an imbecile tool on a throne,are revealed; and the treacheryand selfishness of those who have oppressed them are spoken of in terms that need no explanation. Who then can doubt of the result ? The future is big with greatness for our own land. A few years past, and the cry of Texas, Ore- gon and California, was listened to as the voice ofadreamer. Now, Texas is one of us, and the probability is, that in afew years, yea, ina few months, California and the whole of Mexico to the Sierra Madre,may be knocking at our doors for ad- mittance, What great events are in the womb fo time! | Tue Two Mason Grnerats.—The Senate has confirmed the appointments of General Taylor, as Major General in the regular army of the United States, and Col. W. O. Butler, of Ken- tucky, as Major General of volunteers. Both these appointinents are very popular. Of General Taylor, it is unnecessary to speak. His noble and daring deeds have endeared him to the whole Anierican heart, and all will be glad to see him take the highest rank in the American army. General Butler will, we doubt not, become equally popular as commandant of volunteers. He isa man well known, and one who has travelled Mexico through and knows the country well We consider those appointments aa the best which could have been nade. CumBertanp Coat Mrixgs.—In the coal mine of the Messrs Frosts and McKaig, near Frostburg. a fatal accident occurred in the afternoon o' Wednesday, 24th instant. An Irishman, (An- thony Dailey,) who formerly worked in the mines of the Mount Savage Company, brought down upon himself a block of coal, weighing be tween twoand three tons. Before being removed, the workmen were obliged to split it in four pieces, and poor Bailey was found quite dead, with soarcely a scar, but his neck broken.

They owed every thing in the way of knowledge | to literature and civilization. The early ages furnished instances, when barbarians fled before the lightof civili- zation; and the art of printing was soon discovered, which shed a flood of light upon the world. But in the | Present age the light of knowledge nd civilization was | spreading with electric rapidity. The present state of ie world was governed by mind, not as formerly, when the powdered wig upon the woolsack, with a significant | nod, ruled. This has now all fled before the light of knowledge, and the press free—as papers are published ‘now like the | leaves of the forest. uch was the all powerful influence of the press that mind governed, and public opinion now ruled.

We left the Banks on the 10th, with a fine free wind, and were perfectly assured that noon the next day would see us at Key West. That night at half past 12, Mr. Norris departed this life, after an illuess of thirteen days, which he bore without a groan or complaint. His dis. ease was a most painful inflammation of the bowels, produced by billious fever. His death threw a gloom over the vessel I cannot des- cribe. Daylight at last made its appearance, und to our great surprise we saw the light ship on Carrysfort Reef, javing been actually driven by the force of the current sixty miles from-our course.

The world knows, and so do you, where Saratoga is; therefore, it is unnecessary to give you the geography of this Garden of Eden. You should be kept adviecd, not only concerning matters and things in general, as they transpire here during the | height of the visiting season, but more especially of thore which take place immediately before that season commences. They are an enterprising people here, most of whom, during three quarters of the year, have naught @ busy themselves about than to ‘de: means for making money ne the months of July, August, and September.

The UnitedStates Hotel has some seventy or more,and the other hotels have their complement; none of them have reason to complain yet, for every thing bids fair for a romising and money making season. The village never ked finer, and had it not been for a tire which occur- red on the 8th inst., directly opposite the United States Hotel, the appearance of the willage would have been | far better than at ay previous season.

It will be perceived on reference to the proceedings of Congress from day to day, that neither branch of the representative department of the government is making much progress in prfecting the numerous important bills before them. The session is drawing to its close, es an adjournment early in August will, without doubt, be made, no matter what may be the position of the mes} sures under consideration affecting our domestic or in- Some of the members of the Senate and Oregon question and provided for carrying on the war with Mexico, their constituents will be satisfied—and some of the Sonetors Rave even gone so far as to assert \ that the prevention of one war and the adoption of such measures as will bring to a speedy termination another, is enough to immortalize any session of Congress. We can- not but agree with these philosophers, but would re- commend an adjeurnment at once, for fear something might be done or left undone that would remove part of the glory they think the members of this session are entitled to. How is it that the tariff, the independent treasury, and the warehousing bill, are £0 seldom alluded to in the | Senate? The 10th of May last was fixed upon to take up the warehousing bill. For some reason that day was passed; soon after the Mexjcan difficulties came up, and were disposed of ; then came the Oregon affair, in the shapeof proposals for settlement; and then the treaty. Both of these things were disposed of in executive ses- sion; but, during the public sittings, from that time to this, nothing has been said or done in relation to the warehousing bill. It is now nearly sixty days since a day was fixed for its disposal, and tho firstmovement hes not been made, either one way or the othor—either in favor of or against the measure. This is a measure which both parties are in favor of. There can be no opposition to it of any eonsequence; and even if there was, it was introduced by the majority party, which has the regulation of every thing in its own way. When a mea” sure of this kind, so very simple in its complexion and operation, so necessary for the better regulation of our | foreign trade, one tending more than any other to reduce the expenses of the revenue or customs department of the government, meets with so much delay, and its adop- tion continues so doubtful to the latest moment, what are weto expect when measures affecting our financial and commercial systems, tending to a derangement of all the . ramifications of trade, are brought up for consideration 7 Ifwe may judge of the time required to dispose of any of the most trifling bills before either house, it will re" quire a continual session to dispose of either of the two most important bills on the calendar—we mean the tariff and the independent treasury bills. We wish to be understood, when we say disposed of, as.we mean to imply that their passage is very It is our impression, that neither will pass in the the lower house may agree upon. It is alres well settled, that the Independent Treasur, reached the Senate from the House of Re inthe Senate, edmitted in answer to certain questions from Mr. Webster, that it would be very materially modi- fied, ond that is the last we hereheard of it, and that was some time in the early part of Apail The course pursued jn the Senate in relation to this bill, is another instanceof the delay the business of the session has exporieneed in that body.
