Hon, Bens. F. Burien rose, before the question was taken on these resolutions, and paid a flattering compli- ment to Mr. Vattemare, for his enthusiasm, en and devotedness in the cause of promoting literary exc! between nations, hoped the resolutions would be paesed unanimously. ‘The resolutions were passed accordingly. Prof, BARTLETT rose, and making a few apolegetic remarks, read a Paper on language and its moral influ- ence on the relations of man. He treated of the origin of language, referred to the organio differences of lan- guages.und divided the subject into vooal language, pic- torial language, pantomimic, phonographic and hieogly- phic language by writivg, kc , and was listened to with great interest for upwards of an hour.

When he (the speaker) first saw the light in Dutch street, Mr. Stuyvesant was about putting on the habilments of boyhood. He then referred to hie many acts of benevolence in his lifetime, and his known relations towards the society, and in- duigeda hope that the views and wishes of Mr. bie Ae sant at the time of his death in relation to the soo! will be carried out by his heirs, ‘The resolutions were passed unanimously. Cmurr Justice Jones said he was requested to draw the noticeof the society to the decease of « man who, though not # member of the society, was one to whom thi: ety should pay « pas mH bute. He alluded to th Major Wm. Popham. The eloquent speaker spoke in a handsome manner ef Major Popham’s services in the revolutionary war, and of his retirement from the army with the respect and esteem of Geo. Washington and his brother officers. During life he was esteemed and loved by all who koew him,and at thi vanced age of ninety- five was called to his fathers, lamented by all. He then submitted suitable resolutions, which were secouded by Major Lamb, and passed unanimously. A resolution of thanks to Mr. Brigham Howe, for the medal struck in honor of Lord Chatham, was then car- vied. A member presented an original letter, written by Georgo Washington toe gentiemun in this city, of which the following is a copy :— Newsuran, 5th Nov., 1782. send you four joes £6. 9. 3, which balance due you jor your lands.

Law Ini nce, Surrnion Count.—Before Chief Justice Oakley.—Jo- seph Lopez vs. Henry Wanmaker, public adminis. trator.—This action of assumpsit, brought against the public administrator to reoover a sum of $8000, the amount of two promissory notes endorsed by plaintiff, out of the assets of one James Valentone, now in the defendant’s hands. It appeared that plaintiff and Val- entone were murchants in this city in the year 1814 ; that they were on very intimate terms, and in the habit of accommodat each other; that in the beginning of 1814, or some short time previous, Valentone made a pur- chase of seme nankeens from Henry Carey, for which he gave him his note endorsed by plaintiff. ‘About the same time he, Valentone, made another pi from 4 man named Dunbam, for which. ne gave his note, also dorsed by plaintiff. After the making of the notes Valentone became embarrassed, and was unable to take them up when they came to maturity. ‘he plaintifftben vame forward and went with Valentone to the office of Mr. Carey, told him that he Valentone was unable to pay the fail amount of the note, but would pay forty per cent, of it, and that he the plaintiff would give bis note for sixty per cent, the remainder. Carey agreed to the arrangement, upon which he was paid the 40 per cent, wad plaintiff gave him his note for 60 per cent, the re- mainder. The old note was then given up to Valentone, and receipt endorsed on the back of it by Carey, dis- charging him from all further liability, and cancelling the plaintiff’s endorsement on it. A similar arrange- ment in every respect was made with Mr. Havens, the holder of the note passed to Mr. Dunham. Soon after this arrangement Valentone left this city and went to Martinique in the West Indies, where he resided for some years, after which he returaed to France, his na- tive country, and died there in 1824 or 1825, never having returned to this country. In 1816 the plaintiff paid the amount of Carey’s note, but did not pay Dunham’s note till 1836 or 1837. It further appeared that Valentone had «large claim against the French Government for spolia- tious on bis property during the war of 1612, that his claim was fully substantiated, and that under the treaty Of 1831, he, or his representatives became entitled to re- ceive it, and that it was actually received in this city by the then public administrator. ‘'he plaintiff having been ledto suppose that the funds were transmitted to France, went over to that country, and instituted a suit there against the representatives of Valentone. Upon the trial the two notes given to Cary & Dunham were produced, and it appearing to the court from the endorsement on the back of the notes, and the fact of ther having been given up, that he Valemtone was discharged from his ability, and the court gare judgment against the plaintiff.

We know nothing of tho prospects of success of the proposed arrangements, but we think there can- not be two opinions on the propriety of carrying it into execution, The Company is so largely in debt that locked up, as its affairs are, in the hands of Trustces, under enormous salaries, there is no hope of either cre- ditors or stockholders receiving any thing for years, if ever, from the concern, By giving up one-half of the shares to the creditors in liquidation of their claims, the whole may, it is believed, speedily come into very re- spectable dividends on the amonnt invested. ‘The comparative supplies of anthracite coal sent to market in 1846 and 1847, from the commencement of the season to the latest dates, have beenas annexed :— Anruracite Coan Trapr, per) 1847, Reading Railroad Lehigh Canal “ehuylkill Cans Lackawana Canal tons. This increase is a very large per it, but not any larger than the increase in the demand for consumption. The current price for anthracite coal is much higher than it was at the same time last year, and the stock in first hands is not increasing fast enough to guaranty a very full supply upon the suspension of navigation.” There is every probability of coal being unusually high the: approaching winter, and it would be advisable for consumers to lay in their supplies before the season gets much farther advanced. ‘The returns of the Bank of England for several pe- riods present the annexed comparative statement :— Banx or Enouann VBA6 aN BAT July 0.

Several defences were set up, first, that the proceedings of the public administra- vor here are void, inasmuch, as where an intestate dies in a foreiga country, and is a subject o. citizen of the country where he dies, his assets are to be distributed 7 his repretontatives there, and according to the laws of taat country. Secondly—i'be statute of limitations against so much of the claim as was paid to Havens, that not having been used for twenty-two years after it be- came due, the plaintiff, therefore paid it in his own way. Thirdly--Thereoord of the judgement obisined in the court in France, was set up asa bar (o the whole claim, the courts here being bound by that judgment. ‘The fourth and last defence was a question (and the only one) of fact, ‘Lhe defendant’s counsel insisted that the arrangement entered into between the plaintiffs, Valentone, Carey, and Havens, in 1814, was entered into with @ view of discharging Valoutone absolutely from his engagements at that time, aud to enable him to jeave the country to avoid arrest; that the platotiff vo. lunteered toguarantes Carey and Havens, without being asked OF solicited by Valentone, and that he reosived for his guarantee ot Carey’s debt $18, which was one per cent on the amount of that note, (although’ it did not appear that he reosived any sum whatever for his guar- antee of the other note) This argument was based on the fact that the two original notes were given up to Valetone, with & receipt in full endorsed on back of each, and the plaintiffs endorsements onnoelled:it it were not intended to discharge him altogether from further liability those two notes would be retained, or at all events they would be handed over to plaintiff instead of having been given to Valentone himself, ‘The Judge, in obarging the jury, said that he would give no opinien upon the i questions raised by the defendant’s counsel, but would reserve them for the con- slderation of the court in banoo. ‘The only question the jury bad to pass upon was, whether the agreement be- tween the plaintiffs, Valentone, Carey & Havens, was entered into with @ view to disol vi ali further liability, or did plaintiff, in enter! agreement, reserve to himeelf the right of claiming from him atofatare time, the amount of his guaranty’? if they believed that it was entered intd for the pur; of discharging himaltogether, then they ought vo find for the defendant; but if,on the other hand, hoo Penege end the plaintiff reserved his right to sssert his claim, then their verdiot-should be for him.

On the 11th of September the actual circulation of the bank was less than at any previous period since the establishment of the new act, and there was ofcourse on hand a smaller amount of gold and silver bullion. Notwithstanding the steady drain of bullion, and the loases which the bank must have experienced from the numerous heavy failures, that institution appeared to be in a very strong and prosperous condition. If we may judge from the extent of the dividend and the tone of the last report, the bank never was in a sounder state; but we are not disposed to take all this for granted, we are not disposed to place s» much confidence in the statements emanating from the bank court, as in times past, in consequence of the few facts which have re- cently come to light relative to the connection existing between the Governor and several of the directors of the bank, and the speculative movements of the day. The failures which have recently taken place in London, have brought to light facts relative to the movemente of the bank, which will create considerable sensation in financial circles, and bring about ultimately a very ne- cessary end important change in the direction of that powerful institution. j ‘The embarrassments which have #0 long pressed so heavily upon the commercial classes in Great Britain, must have placed the bank in amore precarious position, and have made it s heavy creditor of many of the insol- vent houses. It has no doubt been weakened, but by no means alarmingly embarrassed. It has done everything in ite power to check the speculative movements going on, and has po doubt partially succeeded, and it has brought about a crisismuch sooner, and much less injuri- ously, than would have been realized had the bank purau- ed the same course as in previous revulsions, under the old system. We say the bank has done every thing in its power to check speculation ; we might with much more propriety have said that the bank was compelled to pur. sue the course it did. Under the new bank act, the ao- tual of circulation is regulated by the amount of bullion on hand, and if drain of bullion takes place for ex- portation, similar to that experienced within the past ht months, the rate of interest is advanced as the circulation and resources of the bank decrease, The principal object in such times is to maintain the circula- tion and to preserve its bullion, which can only be done by raising the rate of interest to an unusual point In attending to ite own tion, it adds to that of the commercial classes generally, and exerts & very pow- erful influence in restraining the inflation of speculative bubbles. We are disposed to view the new bank act in a favors" ble light, prinolpally on this account. The currency is certainly in a much more valuable and in a better con- dition, the fluctuations in the amount of issues much more limited, and less chance of get*ing up am expansion of private credits. The issues are based upon gold and silver, and government seourities—and are, therefore: never reduced below or carried above the proper standard There isa uniformity guaranteed, which insuresa more uniform state of trade than the old system could give’ and every thing connected with commercial affairs must become regulated upon this basis. The sourse is marked out that all should pursue, and if any deviate from it they do s0 at their peril—they know the consequences’ end cannot complain. The beneficial effect of the Ope- ration of this portion of the act, under wich the Bank of England at present tronsacts business, is seen in the sudden and severe check given to the corn and railway speculations, and the serious effect upon those who in- volved themselves in the bubble. The first great revulsion in the money market, under the new banking act, brought down all those old rotten concerns which have, for so many years, sustained themselves upon the credit they enjoyed, but were not entitled to, upon the reputation of being rich, when they had for s long time been insolvent. Under the old banking system of England, these houses wore enabled to keep their heads abovo water, and stem the torrent sotting #0 strongly against them, by the sid of the bank, which then was not subject to so many restrictions in ite fesuing department, and could keep up a large circu- lation without any regard to the amount of bullion on hand. The exportation of bullion under the old syn- tem had no influence upon the circulation, snd, conse- quently, was not so much felt in commercial circles, The operation of the new act in this particular has been a4 highly satisfactory, and the result will be «xeved: iy p | beneficial to the commercial classes in all parts of thw ! world. We shall not have, after this, such « host of | phere of the commercial world is rapidly rifled. 115000 Pennsylvania 5s 60 she Harlem Re 150 a milling, Corn closed at about the rates the arrival of the steamer.

There was a Mexican force near Puebla, deter- mined to intercept all communication from General Scott. Lieut. Antonio Predra, aid to Vega, has escaped from New Orleans to Havana. The informant tells the Picayune that Captain Vizeco’s mounted, battalion, went and examined the graves of Besancon’ men, thus confirming the account first given by the Spaniard paesing from the capital. Lieut. John Riley died on board the McKim. The Delta publishes a report from Sergent Lorrente, rendering certain the safety of the detachment under Henderson, and also that Bessnoon was at Jalapa on the. 6th Sept. The Delta discredits altogether the deaths of Generals Worth, Pillow and Smith, and the blowing up of three powder wagons. The Picayune also expressed its belief that the state- ment of the disastrous defeat of Gen, Worth, is Mexican bombast. Paredes is stated to be in the State of Puebla with six thousand men, prepared to prevent reinforcements reaching Gen. Scott. Government has made no attempt to arrest his pro. evedings. He has been appointed Inspector General of the Puebla National Guards. ‘The NewOrleans Picayune and the Delta, of 27th ult., publish further documents relating to the peace negotiations. 1.

A letter from the commissioners te the Secretary of State of Mexico, dated September seventh, with this im- portant conclusion :— * On Weduesday we entered into a long and calm dis- cussion of the principal points of the Propositions, which continued during the perf | day. The result was that Mr. Trist showed bimself-disposed to abandon the claim to Lower California and part of Upper California, so that we might have communication by land with Sonora, He proposed that no other point of difference Tnunsurrection to the conclusion of penco existed, except that relating to the territery between the Rio Grande and the Nueces; he would consult his government un that point with some hope of success. But the ceasion of New Mexico was a condition that he could not abandon or submit to «new consultation at Washington, He is certain that his government would consider a peace on other points mentioned in his propositions which appear to us would overcome, ies =proceed- ing én negotiations in a spirit of acoommodation. Your Excellency communicates its final determination in your note of yesterday, in conformity with which, and the approbation of the cabinet, given in the counoil ef miniatera, we delivered the same day to Mr. Trist the counter project, and without other discussion, he offered to give an answer to-day, and has done so in the note of terranean and Black Sea wools on hand; but no South | made, including Ohio and Illinois, rather common brands | at $40 $4 1236, with some lots St. Louis, City Mills, at | $5 25, Wheat—The supplies continued light, and no | Corn—Sales of about 1000 | including mixed, at 66c., and good yel- | —Sales of 2000 bushels were made at @.
