We republish the numes of the members of the Thirtieth Congress, in this day’s Herald lt is now nearly complete, and is, therefore, the more valuable. If the elections yet to tuke place reamt as they did tor the Twenty-Ninth Congress, the whigs will, spp rently, hove a majority of two. There is one native, however, whom we have counted with There are two contested seats—one a whig. ond the other a democrat. If~allowed, one will offset the other. Tuke the list in all its the whigs. points, and the subjects to be bronght be- fore Congreas in the ensuing winter, into consi- deration, and we see at once that the proceedings in Washington next winter are to be of an ex- citing aod important ch racter. Pubiic Debts of the States—Delinquency vs. Repudiaition, The efforts made within the past two years by those States having large debts, the interest on which has for many years been in arrears, to re- sume payment and place their financial affairs in &@ prosperous condition, have tailed te meet with that reeponse from those interested as bondhold _ers which they deserve, and under the circum stances are entitled to. There is a large clase of foreign bondholders who encourage the most gross attacks upon those States which have par- tially resumed the payment of interest on their debts, who imagine that these attacks have been the prime cause of the resumption, so far as it goes, and who believe that if they are kept up, and the ery of repudiation continually kept ring- ing in our ear, a more speedy resumption of the full ppyment will follow. English papersare feed by English capitalists holding these bonds, to continually harp on repudiation, believing that it advances their interests, and will speedily bring about a resumption of payment, and an acknow- ledyment of all the claims against the States. They will be most awfully mistaken in this mat- ter. These attacks have already produced a feeling in opposition to these movements; and in every instance where it can be made available, efforts wili be made to put off the day of pay- ment, rather than to hasten it. We have seen this feeling exhibited in the State of Illinois, in the convention recently held for the revisal of the constitution. A tax of two mills on every dollar of taxable property has been authorised | for the paymeot of the principsl of the internaj improvement debt, leaving the canal debt, which | isheld mostly by foreigners, to take its chance witn the canal and canal property. This distinc- tion was made principally on account of the course pursued by the trustees of the foreign | bondholders in relation to the progress of the | esnul, and the speeches in the British Parliament about using cvercive measures to bring about the pryment of debts due British subjects from the Statea of this Union. The foreign bond: holders have obtained all they will from these repudiating States, as their organs choose to call them. Tne laws passed enforcing taxes will be car- ried out as strictly as possible, the payments pro mised in the way of interest will be made as promptly as the receipts will permit, andall laws | tel ting to their public debts will be curried out to the letter, but nothing more. Even in the event of «full resumption being within their means, much sooner than anticipated, we do not believe | any efforts would be made to carry it into effect. The disposition manifested by the Legisla- tures of Illinois and Indiana, to mike satisfac- tory arrangements with their creditors, have been misconstrued by the foreign portion of the bondholders; and such remarks have been made by their orguns, and such the course pursued, in reference to the former State, by their agents here, that all anxiety to do anything more has been removed, and a feeling just the reveree ta- ken its place. Since the arrangements referred to have been perfected, these States have been accused of repudiating a portion of their debts, a tim never applied to them before. fter having given up their lands to their creditors, pleced their canals in the hands of truetees, appointed by the very bondholders making this churge, after having placed the arrears of inter- est ina tingible shape, to draw interest after a certain period, after, in fact, acknowledging every farthing of their debts, principal and in- terest, and secured them by pledging all their available property, after increasing the taxes for the purpose of raising revenue to meet promptly the payments of interest, they are met with the charge of repudiation, and accused of swindling their creditors, by forcing them to accept the terms proposed within a certain period, or lose theirclaims against the State. A There are undoubtedly many innocent parties injured by the bad policy pursued by those who are no better judges of the character of our peo- ple than to suppose that they are to be intimi- dated by any of their threats, or foreed into mea- sures by their sneers, which would not willingly be done otherwise; but such is always the case, and we regret it is 80. The character of otir people, particularly those of the western States, Will be understood, perh»pa, when it is too late to do these foreigners any good. it is well enough for. them to know that they will gainvery liule by the course they are now pursuing. Vane or American Susprino.—The intrinsic value Of the shipping (not including steamships, steamboats, nor schooners) belonging to the Uni. ted States; is put down at $120,000,000, as a mo- derate estimate. ‘The number of persons imme- diately :nterested, is stated, at a fair calculation, im will constat of 91 whigs s8. 9 demoorsta avo fo be 1,175,000, We shall, as usual, publish a Herald for Europe on the occasion; it will be ready at half-past nine foreamenie Barranstta,—This steamer arrived at ie port yeaterday mo: ym Boston, makin ‘@ passage OF 48 hours; The extent of damage Sustained is not yet aseertained, nor cam it be until she is taken upon the dock, It is to be regretted that out of eleven docks owned and about this city, but one is capable of lifting a vesscl beyond 90 feet in length, and this one is now, unfortunately for the Britannia, occupied by the ship Senator, which vessel, of course, ba: prior claim; but her owners, Messrs. Slate, Gardner & Howell, were willing to give up the | mght to the Britannia, but that the ship is to be delivered to Government on Saturday, according to contract, and for the fulfilment of which they ? are under heavy bonds. Under any other cir- cumstances, the dock would have been, through courtesy, placed at the disposal of the Britannia. But as the affair stands, the steamer will not be raised until some time to-morrow. Ocean Steam Navication.—There are now wounded, and | no less than eight sea steamers in this port. | H Annexed are their names :— Washington, (Am ) Britannia, (Br) United states. (Am ) Union, (Fr ) Guadalquiver, (Sp.) Southerner. (Am) Iris, (Am ) Northerner, (Am) There ure, in addition to these, two ocean steamers on the stocks—one, the Hermann, to be launched in the early part of next week, and the other, of thirteen hundred tons, fo: the New Orleans trade Th cals and Musical, Pans Turatar.—Mr. Coilins took bis benefit at the Park last evening. The house was crowded from pit to gallery He leaves now for Philadelphia It is soarcely two years slace Mrs. Mowatt made her triumphant d-hut at this house. stepping at onos into the highest walk of her adopted profession. Her abilities have since been nxoknowledged in every quarter of the United States. Her career han been an extraordinary one. appeared on the stage, her comedy of “Fashion? was produced and filled the theatre for three successive weeks. romantic drama are marked by @ naturalness of style and a depth and intensity of feeling, which find their re- sponse in the bearts of her audience. As Juliet, Bea- trice, and Mrs. Haller, she has by'turos called forth the warmest eulogiums. Mra. Mowatt’s fame bas already reached England, and she bas accepted an advantageous offer to appear there this autuma Asa parting gift, sha isabout to enrich our dramatic literature with a new five act play, in blank verse, written by herself, of which report spenks most favorably, and great interest will be felt to witness this last effort of her genius, which, if successful. will place ber in the bighest pori tion in the world of letters and art. Mra. Mowatt’s far well engagement commences to night, with the play of Love” It is, wo believe, her first appearance in the character of the Countess.in this city. She 1s supported by Mr Davenport, a young Amerioan actor, fust rising in bis profrsrion. Bowray Tueatae.—Threo capital pisces are udver- tined to be performed at the Bowery Theatre this even- ing, each of which, from the manner in which they are cust, will be acted inthe best manner, The first is the tragedy of “ Damon aud Pythies,” in which Mr. Mar- sball will take the part of Damon. and Mr Ciarke that of Pytbiag Fue cemsinder of the charasters are equally well cast. The second piece ts the comedy of “ Jam- bovgling ? and the concluding one is the comedy of “Ole Bull? We have reea the first piece performed with thie cast, and we were much pleased, and we are confident that ail who stteud the Bowery this evening will de delighted with it. * Ole Bull” is a very amusing little aftr, and we feel confidant that Mr. C. Burke, who is cast for the character of Ebeni ample justice to it. As fur the second p! ling.” all we can say ia that it has been performed at this theatre on several occasions, and has always been Tecvived with great applause. CuatHam THeatae.—Jim Crow Rice, Mrs. Nicholls, and Mr. Neafle, are carrying all before them at the Chatham theatre. Since their engagement the house has been filled every night, and the applause which is bestowed on the performances is nothing more than they are worthy of Mr. Fletcher, the manager, understands the wants of the public, and is determined to supply all that is needed. To-night the grand opera of “ O' 5 which would make the saddest man living laugh, will b repeated ; and. for the first time, the laughable farce culled “ Sam Swipes, or the Upper Ten Thousand,’ wilt be performed, The monologue on the death of Daniel O'Connell will also be given this evening. A full house there, no doubt. Paav’s Orena Hovse.—John Sefton’s benefit was really a bumper. The theatre was filled from pit to dome, and all the actors performed their parts to admi- ration. The farce of “ The Three-faced Frenchman”’ was very effectivel played, and the acting of Gabriel Ravel was productive of continual roars of laughter. | We were much pleased with “ The Beauty and the Beast,” in which Miss Clarke appeared as the Beauty and Mr. Walcot as the Beast. These two able actors, assisted by the bénéficiare (Mr. Sefton), Mrs. Watts, and the farceur, ‘Tom Placide, rendered this piece of | Planche’s in'a very witty style. Miss Clarke is always a very good soubreite, and we advise her not to search | for ® more ambitious rank, for she has no superior in that line in any theatre in New York. The pantomime of “Robert Macaire,” is ono of the best pieces of the Ravels. To-night the entertainments are varied and excellent—commencing with the operetta, * Who is the Composer.” an imitation of Auber’s comic opera of “La Barcarole” After which, the exercises ou the tight rope, with Gabriel Ravel in s Pas Ecoseais Tho Miliiners,” next follows, to be succeeded by the dance “El Jaleo de Xeres,” by Madame Leon Javelli; and the whole to conclude with the ovlebrated perform- noe entitled the “ Bedouin Arabs,” by the entire Ravel Family —who will. in this spectacle, not only appear cor- reouly attired, and offer a prrsonation of the real Bedou- io, but will pledge themselves to exbibit all that these Indian performers have attempted, with many daring aod aimost incredible feats, which no performers of any nation in the world have ever conceived possible to be achieved Palmo’s will be again filled to overflowing. Bowray Amrnitueatur.—There has been much dis- appointment in the absence of Mr. Gossin, the great | clown; but we are authorized to say, that he will posi- tively appear this evening before his old friends of the | Bowery Amphitheatre Mr. Gossin is undoubtedly a host in himself; but there is a variety ofamphitheatrical entertainments offered for this evening besides his, and with all combined, there is no danger but that there wili | be acrowded house. The feats of horsemanship, and the regular equestrian «nd ethiopian peiformances, are excellent, aud well worth seeing. ‘ Mapamz Anne Bisnor’s Conceat.—This great con- cert, which will be the first of the season, will tuke place to-morrow evening atthe Tabermucie, and we can assure the music-loving portion of the public, that it will bea rare and beautiful entertainment. They are no doubt aware that Buchs, the great hurpist. aud Mr. Brough, the favorite vocalist, will aasist ber in it, Mxcnantcs’ Hart. —While all the places of amuse- ment in the city are striving to draw good houses, and succeed in doing so only by direct or uncommon ener- gy, lurge and fashionable audiences crowd to Mechanica’ every evening to hear Yankee Hill and Dr. Valen- No better comment js necessary on the character ir entertainments, or the estimation in which they We believe they will remain bere the wholr i. und then proceed to some other city We can ll who wish to spend a pleasant evening to visit Mechanics’ Hall. | Siexon Burtz.—If this celebrated man never hada reputation, be certainly has one now, for the town is fal! of accounts of his extracrdinary tricks, performed at the Society Library.

On arriving at the Battery, the part of the procession preceding the funeral oar halted, and formed on Green- wich street, The fuceral car then passed in front of thy line, and the coffia waa tak: n lato the garden, fol- lowed by # baud of music playing thy desd march in | Saul; and here we think was the most imposing part of the pageant. In accordance with the programme of ar- FéeLgements, nO persons were allowed to enter the garden unti all who were counected with the procession hud done so, ‘Those bearing the coffin being the first that entered, we had s good opportunity of seeing it, ana it may be well to give s description of it, and the oar on which it was drawn. The car was sixteen feet long, by cight wide; the height from the lower drapery covering the wheels to the platform holding the surcophagas is four feet; from the platform to tne top of the square | drapery eight fect; {rom the top frame to the head of the canopy, seven feet; in all, seventeen fect. It was drawn by twelve horses richly oaparisoned, with ostrich plumes and cloths of black, trimmed with silver, bearing ‘a shield, with the Irish harp; each horse was led by & groom in a black velvet tabbaa, black cap trimmed with green, aud top boots. The chief mourners wore black clonks and bat bands. ‘The coffin was covered with green velvet, richly em- broidered with gold, and reating on the top was ® sar- cophagus covered with crape. Assoon as the air which the band played was finished, the coffin was deposited on a tubie covered with black, immediutely in front of the platform designed for the accommodation of the orator of the day, Kx-Governor Seward, and which was likewise covered with black. After one or more airs were played, the doors were thrown open, and the va- rious societivs which formed the pecan. Dat id in, each preceded by a band playing @ moufnful tune, and each with its banner furled and covered with crape. It was more tham an hour before all got settled and in their places, and when they did and the spectators had occupied the seats in the gallery, we estimated the num- ber present at ten thousand, and think that that is ra- ther under than ov.r the actual number, Order and silence being obtulned, Ex-Governor Seward ascended the platform, and delivered a lengthy oration on the life and services of O’Connel. We can- ‘not possibly make room fer the whole of it, because our columns are so much crowded. We shalt give extracts from it, which will convey the meaning of the whole:— Ic ts a holy sight, be eaid, to sve the obsequies of « scldier, not only of ,civil dberty, but of the liberty of conscience—of a soldier, not only of freedom, but of the, cross of Christ—of a benefactor, not merely of a rece or people, but of mankind. The vault lighted by suspended worlds is the temple within which great solemnities are celebrated, The nations of the varth are mourners; and the spirits of the just made perfect, descending from their yolden thrones on high, bresk forth into sougs like this: — “Tears are not now thy due. From the world’s toil, Comv to assume ia Heaven the brighter birth: A winged angel, trom tby mortal coil Escaped! by glory lingers yet round earth. Christ’s hallowed warriur, uviag, thou went’st forth; Chel eee, didst thoydiv, And now, blest shade! The crown aud palm of righteousness and worth Thou wear'st, with joys unspeakable repaid.” The speaker then drew a piotare of ireland, when there were trained bunds which were sworn W resist eVen @ beven-foid foe; kaights who won fenown for valor aud courtesy om the plains of Palestine, and dames who were hone red by admiring bards aud minstrels in strains like “The daughter of Moran seized the harp! And ber voice of music praised the strangers ; ‘Their souls melted wt the song Likes wreath of snow betore ine eye of the sun,” | and contrasted it with that which it now presents in an “es wnlighteoed He then reviewod the tory of Ireland to tue year 1775, the year in which British troops tired on the militia of Amerioa, and the year in woico O'Connell was bora. Turning to the ‘American revolution, ted ite pathy extended vo the aod bald that the war opened by America was the same struggle in which Ireland has been engaged ever since, ia which U’Conaell labored with 90 mucu ud force aud succe ad which be has left uofiuished. He then reviewed O'Connell's services in bis country’s cause, souwerating Laem one by one, wud the bold which he held ou the Irish people. Referring Lo the euthusiaom aunoug the Irish sor U’Lounell, he painted it graphically, and aiso his elvotion by hiv couutrymen. He continued—It is uow the eleotion day. There is O’Coanell, depicting the atrocities of Britisa persecution with « noble ardor of religious zeal. A band of tenants are mxrvbing by, under the conduct of their landlord, to vote for the ministerial condidate. They pause: they mingle in the crowd; they listen, and now, at every cadenoe of the Liberator’s voice, redvubled shouts arise, ~ @ Connell and Freedom!” An elect r is reieaged from jail by his creditor on con- dition that he vote against O’Coauell. fi wlready at the polis—e vhrill cry is hvard—it is the debter's wife who speake—" Remember your soul and liberty.” Toe debtor rises to the mojesty of @ treeman, and declares his vote for O’Conueit iestantly all rente iu erreer are paid by the Catholic Assooimtion. Lhe eleotor’s debt is discharged by tbe sauie omu)present power, and that ugble Ceitio woman's, exclamation becomes the watch- word of ail Ireland ; * Remember your Soul and Liberty!’ O'Conneli’s oxertious in seouring Catholic emancipa- on, next engaged the speaker's attention, and be ful lowed the Liberator all through ‘the repeal agitation, not forgettiog the Clontarf meeting, and tue prosecution of O'Connell und others. Speaking of that memorable prosecution, he said ; “A jury is packed by excluding from the panel every Catnoue and every patriot Ireland comes out from her hilis and her valleys to look upon # cause in woivh she is Dereelf on trial before an Auglo-Irish jury in court cf the pale. The venal court extort tne desired verdict. and now Ireland may no longer petition. Her own jury bas condemned her in her own owpital.”” As to the tntluence which O Counsell has exerted in the cause of liberty, the speaker was very eloquent. He concluded as fo.lows: “Come forward, then, ye nations who are trembling between the dat of averchy end the F ware of des- oice that addresses the Liberator of w Haven.

We find that the merchants of other oities stand it as well as they do here. It is stated that New Orleans is not so great « sufferer as at first reported, The amount of exchange feturned upon merchants of that city, was, upto the 14th {nstant, vory amall, not exseoding ten thousand pounds, and.no fears are expressed relative to. any, fu- turglosses, Fortunately for all, the commercial classes He also sells very | 9 6f.26; Amsterdam 39% 40; Hamburg 35% a 36; Bre- | iu overy seotion of the oun try wate ins voty strung and insolvenolet on thé other ° convened Tilt nois, ie parpuce Gf rttiing the etic cn ot thes State, has finished ite duties and adjourned. The new constitution will be submitted to the people next spring and without doubt be adopted, There is one section in it to which we direct the attention of all interested, a: & of the people of the State particularly. to all other taxes, to be a] tly, on the fest day of apportioned and on jan wa pro rata ey all such Biate than the canal and school indebtedness, as may, for ‘holders same, that be by the 5 ie edu Reais pe on, trian ine or tinguishment of the principal of said indebtedness. | So farasthe annual assessment and collection of « | tax of two mills upon each one doller’s worth of tax- able property, in addition to all other taxes, are concern- ed, we cardially agree with the framers of the above but the rest of the section cannot be carried into operation, and is, therefore, an incumbranoce to the | whole article, ‘There are about eight thousand internal improvement | bonds of the State of Illinois in existence, representing & | debt of about eight millions of dollars. The tax of two | mills on the present valuation of property im the State, would give about two hundred thousand dollars per an- | num, whioh, if apportioned end paid upon the internal | improvement debt, would be equal to two dollars and @ halfon the hundred, or twenty-five dollars on each thou- | @and dollar bond. According to the above article in | the new constitution, an annual payment of twenty-five | dollars om each bond, would be required. In the first | place, it would be a very extraordinary movement to pay | an iota of the principal of this debt, before the fall inte- | rest was regularly and promptly paid; and in the second | place, it would be almost an impossibility to make the payments according to the requirements uf the section. It would be impossible to get all the bonds presented for that purpos», A few might be paid theinstalment, while | many would not demand it. A large part of the revenue from this source would remain in the hands of the State Treasurer, and weuld form the nuclens of a sinking fand for the ultimate extinguishment of the whole debt. In the third place it is unconstitutional, if such » term can be applied to a’section in the contitution itself. The bonds issued by the State from time to time, havea stated number of years to run, and are payable at certain times, and the holders cannot be compelled to take the whole or @ fractional part of their bonds before the whole becomes due. The State of Illinois cannot com- pel its creditors to accept these annual payments on the | principal, or stop the accumulation or payment of in- | terest upon the amount represented by each bond. It is | to be regretted that this clause in the new constitution, | sso worded or ovnnot be differently construed, as much of its virtue is lost. We, however, are much pleased that the prinolple of taxation was not entirely abandoned by the convention, as it exnibits a disposition to provide for the payment of the Stute debt,and gives the people on opportunity to express an epinion upon the subjrct. 1¢ the people vote for this tax of two mills, it will show a Aisposition on their part of taxing themevlves, and the | legislature can, at any fature timr, annul this seotion 8) asto turn the tax ioto a sinking fund, or appropriute it to the payment of the interest on the State debt.
