General Taylor and Ge- eral Harrison held the same political opinions, but th engaged pu itely to hold party ends in subordi- good of their country. Both ted by thelr supporters for their personal popularity, and for the lustre of their militar achievements, rather than for their political promi- nence. or their presumed’ intellectual capacity. Both were men of modest fortune, Both were distinguished » the frank and careless manners of the camp. Both died mature in years, but young in official experienge, Both expired on the eve of the settlement of a great and long- debated quesiton. chain of coincidences is closed with the term of their earthly existence, andthat America and American conservatives will not have the same deep and bitter reason to lament the death of President Taylor as that of President Harrison, The language of regret for General Taylor need not degenerate into vague commonplace.. It is almest a matter of course, on such occasions, to observe that the private virtues of the deceased were great, and his conduct, us an individual, exemplary. Hut the public career of General bow a was creditable to himself, and peculiarly valuable to his country. The truth is that, contrary to the anticipations of many among the most sagacious of his party, he proved to possess Le 4 censiderable official aptitude. He displayed mac’ | tact in dealing with personal questions of great diili- | culty and delicacy, and his management of a hostile Legislature and # heterogencous cabinet was well nigh admirable. The distinguishing feature of his churac- ter seems to have been a much enduring patience, which would bave served bim instead of rarer quali ties, had he not possessed them. The hopes of his ase: ness in office, which were but faint before his acces- sion, were fast rising when he died ; nor, short as was | his career, is it likely to be speedily forgotten, One of the very few admissible schemes that have been ad- vanced for the settlement of the great slavery contro- eulready nal service. tendant on the two ns bo nation to the gen were originally selec! versy, will be identified with his name; and, even | rhould its adoption not secure him a permanent place | among the civil luminaries of the Union, he is te be remembered on other grounds. For his very ds- meanor in the presidency, the nature of bis policy, and the maxims of public conduct which he prc were, from peculiar circumstanoys, of inestimable value to America. It must not be forgoticn that he succeeded to ihe chair of government at a critical pe- riod, President Tyler's unscrupulous efforts to pur- | chase for himself « party, by the free handed dietribu- tion of oficial favors, and the alternatious of profligate recklessness aud weak subservience to popular passion in the measures of President Polk, had gone a very | long way to vitiate the morality of the American go- vernment, if not of the whole American people, Ge- Taylor's presidency arrested the current ot na- tional debasement. Although he owed the reputation which gained him prowotion to that very greed of con- quest which his predecessor had fostered, the uew ruler did not hesitate to profess his adhesion to the recogbized rules ot public law, which that same pre- decessor bad tmpudently violated. His behavior in the matter of the Cuban expedition, exemplified the rinciples of his policy; aud whatever shortoom- ings We way have discerned in the measure of justice which Spain has received at the hands of the American government, these were, in all pro- bability, not the fanit of its head.

These votes, which took place on the 6th and 8th inst. must, of course, have proved fatal to an administration henceforward nick- named the “Galpbin” cabinet. They were, doubtless, intensely painful to General Taylor, whose honorawnd good intentions po one bad ever questioned. The in- dieposition trom which he was already suffering. ns- sumed # more malignant character, and on the follow- | ing day he expired, worn out by these struyglus of | party. above which he had vainly sought to raise him- self, and wounded by the charges which Congress had, almort without distinction of party, pressed against seme members of his administration. ‘The crisis which bas already shaken the existing ad- ministration of the United States, has thas been | brought to a catastrophe; and the Executive Govern- | ment must passentirely into other hands President | Fillmore, who succeeds by virtue of his office as Vive.

He is a politician of the sirong whig o1 mservative school, intimately | connected with Mr. Clay, and likely to take his stanit | upon the principles of thateminent and unrowarded | statesman. On the slavery question, Mr. Fillmore is understood to belong to the party in the Union most | opposed to the extension of the servile institutions of | the Sonth Co the new territories of the West, and the | compromise proposed by Mr. Clay, and adopted by | Genera: Taylor ou the main principles of the tree soil party. in opposition to the demands of the South, will | now more than ever obtain the support of the Fede | Government. As a leading man in the “ Empire State” of the North, connected with the whig party, | Mr. Fillmore’s views are favorable to protective duties | and» high tariff ; but we may hope that experience | and an enlightened view of the commercial relations | of the United States with the rest of the world, will counteract any tendency to restrict the foreign trade ot the North American continent. It seems by no | means improbable that, with these views and these | party cennexions, the President will be disposed to | place in the hands of Mr. Webster the highest minis- terial office of the government, and to assign to that | gentleman the formation of the cabinet; and we could desire no stronger guarantee tor the prudent and ener. getie direction of the affairs of the Union both, at heme and abroad It is an unforseen and unfortunate result of the con- stitution of the United States. that from various pecu- | liar canses it is extremely difficult to obtain by the free chofes of m Gemocracy, the public services of the most eminent citizens and statesmen, One might imagine, that in such a commonwealth, the voice of | the people would cali to office the echiet members of | one or the other party; butit is quite the reverse; the jeatoury ef exch party is mainly direeted to set avis and deieat the leader of the other party, and it #ae: fices its own chief, while it succeeds in the effort. Hence, none of the great men of the last and the pre- sent generation of American statesmen have risea, or wre bkely to rise to the rank of President, But neither ere they likely to retain & permanent hold on any ministerial office; that position ts, in the Uvited States toc subordin authority of the President to be long held by « man of first rate powers; it condemns him to submission in the cabinet, and to silexce in Congress; and the only ebance of placing a Webster ors Olay at the head of affairs, would be @ voiuntury | nd patriotic snerifice «f actual authority by the Pres U to his Secretary ef State. We await with int rest the next arrivel from Washington, but we think | | that enough is already known of the personal disposi- tion of the new President, to asvure us that the policy of the Vederal Government will not undergo any vio- | lept or mischievous change from the death of General Taylor.

Ri the London Jimes, July 26} Th ition and prospects of the money market were never more singular than at the present momen: Everything is tending in ® direction to produce stri ing changes it ye relatir of capital; but, in the spath ic trance resulting from our late exhaustion, they are scarcely noticed. With an increase in the quarter's revenue of £518,000 over the fuvorable re- turns of last year, ap augmentation in the deelared value of our exports of between £3.000,000 and £4.000,000, during the same period; « stock of bullion in the bank which bas remained, with slight fluctua- tions, at a larger amount than was ever betore known ; and the prospeet, thus far, of an abundant harvest, there are also a number of more exceptional circum- stances, which furnish still greater indications that a state of affuir is approachivg which must awaken the best energies of the country, and whieh, if wisel; watched, may give ap impulse to the epread of civili- zation such as has been witnessed at no former epoch. Pach account trom California net only confirms, but adds. to all previous anticipations of the growth of that territory, and of the suceesss of those who have thronged to it, and the reflex action of these move- parts of the world are now beginning to manifest themselves with daily increasing force, Ip the Sandwich Islands, in Australia, along the whole coast of the Pacifie, from Valparaiso to Vancouver's Island, and even in China, the stir is distinctly felt, aod the awakening life Uhus manifesting itself at the extremities of the commercial system, must soon be acknowledged most powerfully at its centre, byen if California were announced to-morrow to be a delusion, it would be years before the ef- fects that bave already been created by it would cease to operate; but the tidiugs reeeived for a long time past have now convinced all persons that its riches have never been over-estimated. and hence the jnterence is unavoidable that what bas yet taken place is only the beginning of the changes to come, Accord. ing to the recent accounts from New York, it is conf- denUy believed that the gold received in the United tates doring the next six months wili ¢xceed the total of all that has yet arrived. The silver mines of Scuth America too are yielding @ largely increased supply: railroads are being constructed for their fur- her developement, quicksilver is likely to be furnished in unusual supplies, and improved methods of workin, are resulting from the application of capital deriv from the profits of trade wi Francisco, Coupled with there facts ba counts of other gold re- gions in Bolivia, Venezuela, and South Australia The less noticed but steady iuerease in the supply from Tussia Las likewise to be borne in mind ; and, dnally, the importation which is even now taking place from the substitution of paper and Bilver for the gold co age in Holland, amounting, it is understood. to between £2,000 UC0 and £3,000.000, Under all these circumstances, the rate of money in England is about 14 per cent., and at New York, although they are now sending us large amounta of bullion by each steamer, it also lower than it has ever been for any continuance, 334 o¢ 4 per cout being he highest rate that can be got for temporary loans. At the fame time, two things have operated in Eng- land to prevent the glut ot money being greater than it is, The remittances on account of the Russian loan of £5.000,000, and on the Danish loan of £590.00; the instalments on the first of these are now completed, snd in the courre of the next two months such small ®mounts as may remain on account of the second will alro be discharged. There will cousequently,as tar as we can see at present, be henceforth nothing to dis- turb the existing tendency towards accumulation, Step by step with this tendency the rate of interest tobe obtained by capitalists must decline, There is BO over-speculation im trade to prevent it, and no quarter of the world where the exchanges are likely to turn against us. The only questions, therefore, that prerent themselves are, first, a8 to the point to which the value of money will descend without overcoming the present horror of all investments which involve risk; and secondly, ia what quarter the vent will be found when the overtlow of capital shall at last become irrepressible, That the present state of affairs, in which invest- ments that yield searcely any return, but that require the exercise neither of thought nor faith, are preterred. to apytbing lee, will yet continue for considerable period, seems certain. Railway in the midst of all our prosperity, show no symptouws of revival, and the gloom which they create will spread a morbid distrast until the sbarebolders shall have revelved to admit what everbody recognises—uamely, there is no help for them but in a complete reorganization of their modes of manny From this, and other causes, there is reason to that the revival of conti. dence will not be sudde md that, before it shall occur to such an extent as to lead to a deo/ded re- spirit of adventure, od may it to enable the Chancellor of the Bx- bos » to propose # reduction inthe government mn For the present therefore, we can look for no striking dev ation in the routine chanueis for the eu ana there will be rate of interest sbali have gaiaed its field will be required for its develope- be found. that although the ases of capital bad seemed tous toh interp: we b ture utterly « king large fort ing eonl, by facili merchandine, by t means of eultivati and villages tbat are capa by ail other cecupations that are opened up wherever population is y attracted. it will also mort likely be discovered that the gains thus achieved by quiet enterprise, ht have been greatly increased by @ more liberal command of capital.

Major Steen, of Mobile, who has completed the survey of the contemplated Galveston and Brazos Canal, has made a highly favorable report of the practicability of the work, and of the economy by which it cam be completed. We find in the Western Texan, of the Ith inst. paiees at San Antomo, a detailed account ate Indian depredations. We abridge from it following :— On the night of the 3d inst., a party of Jndians stole from the rancho of Mr. Lay, four miles from Seguin, nine horses ; also, on the same night, from Mr. Odin, six miles below Seguia, om the Gaudalupe, seven horses. Also, from Mr. | Erskine, living in the neighborhood of Seguin, a number of horses—the exact number we have beea unable to ascertain. On the evening of the 7th, the horses of Mr. Kesieh, vine on the Cibolo, abeut three miles below the Sulphur Springs, were driven off. The citizens living about the springs were gathering en the morning of the 8th to pursue them.

One party of fifteen had eked the rancho of Mr. Cassiano, killed one end drove off the horses.
