New York, Monday, June 9, 1851. ———————————————— Important Circular from the Treasury De- partment—Mr, Corwin and the Cabinet, We publish elsewhere in our columns, to day, a very curious and interesting document, emanating, | in some secret and roundabout way, from the Trea | sury Department, and defending in a very spirited manner, Mr. Corwin, Mr. Webster, and the cabi- net, from insinuations that have been recently made against theth. in connection with the recent awards of Mexican claims—inziouations which had assumed the appearance of Galphinism. This pa- { per may be considered a sort of circular letter, pro- | eeeding from the highest authority, in defence of the cabinet. It appeared last weck—simultaneous- ly, word for word, in several of the teading adminis- tration papers of this city, Philadelphia, and per- haps other places. The author is well known in | this latitude, or at least between the parallels of | Washingtonand Boston. Heis anamiable and very modest young man, formerly a journeyman printer from the South, by the name of James E. Harvey. | He occupied the confidential post of letter writer to Taylor's cabinet, and was ona very inti- | g with Mr. Clayton, the premier there- | materials of this curious defence | The of the cabinet against all the charges of Galphin- | ism were undoubtedly recéived from the Treasury | Department, in some roundabout way—likely from | Mr. Corwin himself, and other parties acquainted | of with the facts, and who were included in the ebarges. The existence of the charges against Mr. Cor- win avd the cabinet, to which this circular letter refers, were first intimated to the public through | the columns of the Washington Republic. The | same topic was taken up by two very intelligent | oorrerpondents of New York journals, Mr. King man, the letter writer of the Journal of Commerce, and Mr. Adams, the correspondent of the Tribune. The latter gentleman has been recently appointed to an office in the Treasury Department. | The letters written by these gentlemen, and published in the journals to which they | are attached, purported to give a full account ef the connection which certain members of the cabinet bad with Florida and Mexican claims, and the decisions and payments of money therewith onnectod. It seems, however, by the present cir- eular, coming from Mr. Harvey, and authenticated by the files of the Treasury Depart | ment, that these letter writers committed several | vital mistakes in their statements, and produced, by their incorrect versions of the affair, a wrong im- pressiun, not only as to the money gained and lost, but on other matters involved in the decision of these claims, and their payment. [lence the neces- sity of a correct and full vindication, according to the morality and ethics of the latitude of Washing- ton, in the several journals that are supposed to be | on a confidential footing with the cabinet. Every one remembers the great clamor that was raired against the cabinet of General Taylor, in consequence of the Galphin claim, and its payment to Mr. Crawford, one of the members of the cabi- | net. The practice of members of the cabinet being concerned, either as counsel or as purchasers, in claims which are to be decided either by them- selves or their associates connected with them in the government, was very strongly denounced by a Jorge portion of the whig members of the last Con- gress. The same doctrine has been repeated again and again in several journals, and even Me. Clay- bon, ex-Seeretary of Stute, took occasion, ina recent eos¢ch—in which be nominated Ge the Presidency —to rpevially den tunete, discreditable, and improper, for any mem- ber of the cabinet to be connceted with the Gal It seems, however, there has b for ® year or two past, a great deal of foating morality of a cert character; bat it has | wot been sufficiently ticke d otherwise prepar. ed for use—neither do we think the defence of | Mr. Corwin, now sent to the world, is put oa a pro per foundation of members of Con- | no doubt een on he practice grees and of the cabinet, and of almost every e@onnected with the governm t Washing for the last quarter of a century, has established and not only of the ar cla! authorized the m Ipbin claime, t their being Volume isswed {r Wasbirgton, ar teres for the } find the followi men, in the be practived on this sul) Fletcher — ry ality and j onnected Departme and Expen t in pr ta fe ar Isa" —th t 4, whieh $813 4 #13 98 mm © | | rem | Sibbald, and to be applied to the discharge duty bonds duc to the Uni f anine act 1,498 55 ereoll & Thomsa Da amount acecttained ¢ Dhald. and pagabl 1 by xal ‘18700 08 By this extract it would appear that for several years post, members of Congres: and of the cabinet have been in the babit of acting as agents for elaims of various kiwt or ia other modes, and of incrossin commissions and gratoit and drippings, of varivw The con nual incomes, by #, and alices aud pariogs kinds and of diff ren amoun net etiosed by & pract tw ota inted in ¢ gress. i ute of the tim | minister in Washington cannot live on six thou- | sand dollars a year, without being at the same time | age; or endeavoring to muke something by being | out a platform of principles for 1 | of the case, can it be a matter of surprise that they | The Telegray | has recently abandoned. The Union, at this very | | of power by the conductors of the Globe, and it will beyond the mere pittances allowed them by law, of salaries and mileage. The salaries of ecabines ministers and the pay of members of Congress are precisely the same at the present day, or nearly so, as they were fifty years ago, before the rent of houses, the price of pantaloons, or the expense of sowées, and other items of fashionable and diplo- matic life, were affected by the influense of Cali- fornia gold, and the prevalence of fashions imported from Europe to this part of the world. A cabinet an agent for Florida claims, or Galphin claims, er Mexican claims, or some sort of claims, whereby be can .ucrease it to twenty or thirty thousand dollars © year; norcanany member of Congress afford to live in Washington, at,the present rate of expense, on the per diem now allowed, without put- ting his hand, ov his whole arm, into the Treasury, and getting a pretty large grab in the way of mile- agent for passing through claims in both houses, in the shape of a per centage for his trouble, in some roundabout way. ‘The defence set up by the secret circular, from the pen of Mr. Harvey, is good enough as far as it goes; but it is conceived in bad temper, and does not contain the philosophisal and arithmetical consideration of prizes and values, which we have given in this i nee. We think, therefore, that our defence of the cabinet is much better than that which has emanated from the Treasury itself. This new doctrine will, of course, be approved by the Whig State Convention, which is to meet at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on the 2th of June, to nominate candidates for the Presidency, and to lay 2 Tue Wasnineton Newsrarer Press.—The pe- culiar character of the Washington journals, and their general inefliciency, and consequent inutility, have been, for several years past, topics for sneers and reproaches in all political cireles. In the whole world there are no journals more favorably situated to take advantage of opportunities, and to be of practical service to the country; and yet, generally, they are imbecile and unattractive journals, whose merit seems to lie more in the ability to conceal news than to make it knewn. Such being the true state should have but a limited circulatign among the twenty-three millions of beings who people the United States ? The annexed table will make known the probable extent of their edition: Semi- Daily. Weekly.

The Globe was started by Messrs. Blair & Rives, in the days of Andzew Jackson, and continued to be the priacipal Wasbing- ton democratic organ till Mr. Polk became Presi- dent. Not liking these gentlemen overmuch, though hey had made between them probably not less than half a million of dollars by Congressional jobs—which ought to have made them tolerable to President Polk, as well as “respectable” to every- body else—they were removed from the guardian- ship of this leading democratic organ, wud Mr. Ritehie took their place as its editor, and changed the name to the Union. In this position, Messrs. Llair and Rives looked about them, and soon re- newed the publication of the Glsde, by which they were enabled to check all the large jobs that other- wire might have been obtained by the National Intelligencer and by the Union. This opposition | was conducted by means of a emall minority of the demoeratie party, swayed by these two enterprising gentlemen; and the consequence was, that Mr. Ritebie was crippled in his aspirations and fortunes, and almost forced to retire from the field, whieh he | time, is subject to this same exercise of the balance | require all the sagacity and energy of Major Do- nelson to splinter and break up an opposition that hitherto has been so troublesome. Messrs. Blair | & Rives are like dogs in the manger towards the Union and the Jatelligencer. They will not permit | the old oxeM to come to the stall; but, whenever they pereeive a job of which their rivals can fed, they will bark, and worry, and greate confusion, as they have done ever einee they took their positios. Major Donelson will have to keep a sharp look out | for them, for they are very watchful and export in the business, whic’, they well understand, The only two papers in Washington, however, at the present time, which¢aave an independent foun- | dation, and are really of spirit or force, are the Southan Press aud the National Era. The former | ie devoted to secession and the interests of the | South, and is particularly zealous in meeting the | treain from the North which is turned against the cotton fields ofthe Southern States.

They do not unfold their attractions on one and the same day, but each place opens, or blossoms, according | to its position with the temperature of the season. Several of these places have already displayed their budding attractions. For instance, within the past two weeks, has been all alive—but not with visiters. The cobwebs have been swept away, and the houses have been garnished and fitted up for the arrival of guests, as is usually the case. Saratoga, | Saratoga has three principal hotels—Congress Hall, | the United States, and the Union Hotels. are now fresh with paint and whitewash, and will not be much occupied till next month, when people They | will be charged extravagant prices for everything | they have there—pay two dollars a day for the meanest room, and have all the excitement of | fashionable misery. From one to two thousand strangers reside at Saratoga during the summer _ months, and there indulge in all the silly luxury of association with the most dashing gamblers and cebauchees, such as make Baden Baden, in Ger- many, famous and infamous at the same time. Expensive suppers are there the theme of the day and the order of the night. The amusements are limited, and a drive to the lake, or a few drinks of unpleasant mineral water, fill up the vacuum. A few really respectable persons visit Saratoga, but of late years it has become the resort of ignorant idlers, fashionable seamps, and parties who donot hesitate to publicly appear in the dances of Mabille. Newport is of the same class of fashion as Sara- toga. The prices there are even larger, and the Ocean House, Bellevue House, and Atlantic Hotel are the fashionable resorts, being filled with a mixed company, who indulge in luxuries which might better be enjoyed by their creditors, and who are intent on the worst of follies. ‘he amusements are sea-fishing, sea-bathing, and slundering in all its Protean forms. One season at Newport ought tolast a lifetime. At Lebanoa Springs a different kind of enjoy- ment can be obtained than that which leads to a lf-respect. It is a quiet and cool retreat, situated in the very heart of beautiful scenery, which affords elegant drives and promenades. Tne hotel isa delightful residence, and families may visit it without being subjected to insolence and im- pertinence. The troops of boys and girls daucing and singing through the day, on the green sward, form an agreeable sight to those who deli watch the face of childhood, uncorroded by the rust of the world; and the familiar family daneo in the saloon, every evening, there truly charming. ‘There is no place superior to it. West Point and Newburgh, on the Hudson river, are also agreeable resorts. Cozzens’ Hotel is admi_ rably conducted, receives elegant society, and, being situated on elevated ground, overhanging the river, is cool and refreshing. ‘The drives are de- | lightful, and the Military Academy and grounds, wh the occasional balls and parades, give a zest to the other amusements of the place. At Newburgh, the Powelton House is delightfully situated, and since the State appropriated a sum for keeping Washington's bead quarters there in repair, hun- dreds visit the place to sit on the seat once occu- pied by the father of his country, and to lean onthe camp table of the gallant Lafayette. The drives in the vicinity are very delightful, and the scenery is quite interesting. Nearer to the metropolis we bave the fine hotels at New Brighton, Coney Island, Fort Hemilton, Rockaway, Keyport, York Bay, and other well known localities, all of entitled to the honor of commencing this scandalous work. With their clubs and organizations they car- ried everything their own way, until the whigs or- ganized their corps of fighting bullies. Then both parties were equal in this respect. Within a year we have seen gangs of fighting men in Tammany Hall and other halls, all employed for the purpose of knocking down and dragging out any man who dared to say a word in opposition to any move- ment that the party might make. We believe that a sound public opinion, backed and supported by an honest, independent press, can reetify these evils. As far as the Herald is con- cerned, We ure determined to use our best exertions to eradicate them. In dealing with the subject, we care not whom we hit—friend or foe, whig or demo- erat, clerical or layman. Our path of duty is plain, and, with the help of God, we will follow it, regard- less of consequences to ourselves or to others. Americans In Loxpoy.—Greeley, according to his last letter from London, has somewhat recover- ed his equanimity of temper, and begins to loom large, and even above Westminster Abbey. He has attended one of the anti-slavery meetings at Exeter Hall, where they used to show other kinds of monkeys and elephants than they do now-a-days. At first he was one of the srowd; but one of the ne- gro orators having certified tbat he was respectable, he was allowed to come upon the platform, where he made a speech. Ofcourse he feels better, after ths nigger certificate, than he did just after the slight of the London aristocracy, at the Richmond dinner. It certainly was a very benevolent act on the part of the negro, particularly as Greeley felt very tad. In his speech, though, he came near be- ing eapsized again, as he made a show of “walking straight into” the system of British white slavery. Still, he gos through his straights, and wound up by proposing to send the white slaves of England into the Southern States, to dispossess the blacks , of Uneir homes, and to root them out entirely. makes a summer home | N.

It may seem singular that he was not mistaken for one of the white headed boys; but this is explained by the fact that when he arrived in London, he got a new fuit of clothes. We notice, also, that Bowyer, the able police officer of this city, isin London, investigating those subjects which may be of use to him hercafter. Wilkes went from Liverpool to London in the same train with him, but was very quiet and reserved. He hae been engaged, probably, in looking for his | confederate, Warner; and, having failed in this city, they may set up in the same line of business there, with the hope of better suce: Apvent ov THE CantaTo ice, CarHarive Hayes. —Who has engaged the celebrated Cathariae Hayes, who is to visit this country next autumn, | aad sing in all the great towns and cities?

PIRST ANNUAL PARADE OF THE NEW YORK FIRE DE- PARTMENT. To-day at 1 o'clock, the New York Fire Department will form in order of procession, four abreast, on Hudson street, the right resting on Abingdon square, and coun- termarch down Hudson street and Coll ge place, to Mur- ray street ; up Murray street, through the Park, in re- view by the Mayor, Common Couneil, heads of depart- ments of the city government, ex-Chiefs and Assistant En- | ginecrs ; passing out of the cast gate of the Park, up | Chatham street States authorities, on charges of treason, robbery, | and attempts to rob the United States mails. We see efforts making to establish infidel communities at Nauvoo, in Ilinois. We see the rapping phi- losophers imposing on the public, and playing with the fears of the nervous and timid. We see the | short boye and other rowdies of the city of New York attacking and maltreating our German popu- | | Jation and their wives, sisters, and children, at | Hoboken, while amusing themselves in celebrating | a time-honored festival. And we see prominent | journals using their influence and ability to upset all forms of society, and establish, in their stead, | the rules of dreamers and visionaries of another age, which could result in nothing but a state of anarchy, confusion, civil war and bloodshed, that the mind sickens in contemplating. Now, what is the cause of all the disorders to which we have referred? We verily believe that they may be all, in a great measure, at- tributed to the slight influence excited by all the churches, all the clergy, and every religion of the present day. There is no use in shutting our eyes to the fact that the church of the present day—not the Catholic or the Protestant Church, but the Christian Church generally—is falve to its mission, and does not fulfill the duty marked out for it by the great founder of Christianity. It ap pears to bave lost the confidence of the people toa very great extent, and although the velvet cushions of our fashionable churches may be occupied three times every Sabbath by their owners, we are satis fied there ie lees true religion in our midst than there hae been within twenty-five or fifty years past.

Nearly all the leading railroad stocks coutinue inde | mand from the different classes of operators, and the probability is that prices fur most of them will improves while we do not look for any frm depreciation of conrequence, in even the most neglee: Tt will proba. bly be more diffiewit to sustain Erie Railroad than any other on the list, im consequence of the amount Doth of ttock and securities, and the doubt exis lntive to the future earnings of the road. Long Istan@ has not been go active lately as we anticipated, from the | changes and improvements made in the finances and operations of the company; but the stocie {+ well held, and very little is likely to come upon the market, As roon as the repairs and alterations, now going on, are completed, the delays and interruptions of traiie will disappear, and the full resources of the road be de. veloped. Norwich and Worcester Railroad is grada- ally and steadily improving in market value, The gros earnings for May, 1861, amounted to $23,719 sqainst $22,582 28 fur the corresponding montis year, showing an inerense of $1.194 80 this year, The pts br ve shown about this increase from the eom- menerment of the year, which not only guarwnteds the feoular dividend, but enrures a handsome sarplue, Mote thon one baif of the gross © ew no individe ed thand scientife ng of thie company i+ from freight, one quattet from feat travel, and th nee gh travel, mull we.

Operators in | Bills of exchange | making im all 70 per cent pald upon the have been the prime movers in this corner, and the ape~ culators of Philadelphia have paid pretty dear fr their experience this time, It was our impression. some tims since, that an improvement im prices fur this stock woul! be realized, and the result has shown the corr stness of our anticipations, The company have done a largs busi-- ness this year; but whether it will continue at this rate, or what prices have been realized for coal transported this year, very little is kuown, Seven hundred and. twenty-four thousand, seven hundred and fifty-four tone+ of coal have been transported on the railroad this year, against four hundred and eighty-one thousand, four~ hundred and ninety-four tons to the rame dute last year This exhibits a great increase, which, if contioued through the season, will give a net income suffl- cient to pay large dividends. ‘The tendency of prices is still upward, and it would not surprise us to see a considerable advance in prices now current. Hiarlem closed firm at our quotations, and very little» stock was offered, Efforts are being made to depres: prices for this stock, so as to let in certain parties ; but. the probability is, they will not be successful. When the | stock was five and eight per cent lower than it is now, clique of capitalists tried to get prices still lower, 60 as te» come in and fill up their lists. Instead of the market tuking the turn they expected, prices ran up rapidly, and: the consequence is that they will have to pay well for the stock, if they enter the market as purchasers. Sines that time. the earnings of the road have been so much greater than anticipated (hat there is no chance for any depreciation, and those whe are in want of the stock for investment, or even for speculative purposes, would do- well to purchase at once. Carton Company advanced: one per cent yesterday afternoon, We have received the last avnual report, and shall, in a day or two. when we have more space, give it our attention, We have nothing: new to report in relation to other stocks, There hae been no important movement in any of them, and prices remain without material alteration, Within the part three or four weeks, several failures have been announced in the leading departments of busi- ness and speculation. They have had, however, very lit tle effect upon business generally, and are by no meane to be considered a criterion of the condition cf the com- mercial classes in this, or any other part of the coun- try. Speculators im land, in cotton, ia stocks, ip anything at high prices, must, fooner or later, have ay fall, There is no limit to the operations of thi ass Of operators, With a small capital they purchase im- menre quantities of property, aod when they get into » tight place, and find all their fine caleulations melting awey. and see all their magnificent visions of wealth dis appcar, deeperation drives them still deeper into diffieul- tics, and in their efforts to eveape, they adopt the most di-honorable means, invariably, however, without success. Desperate diseases require desperate rew is the maxim of many. © ut events in the financial world illustrate the tr f that pr finaccial and commereia! ina 1 and strong n, and the s which occasionally oceur are consequence, andshave no sort of influence upon the movements of commerse. Sueh suspensions take place in the midst of the best of times, and create very little - remark in business circles, In the rapid progress we are making in all that is calculated to develope our natura 6, and the advantages of our geographical post tion on the face of th rth, we must expect to meet with slight checks in the shape of revulsions; but no thing short of such @ revulsion as passed over the coun- try in 1837, can retard in the least our onward course: Land and cotton speculators may go down in platoons, and they will soon be lost sight of iu the rear, and nearly soon forgotten. ; have reeeived a copy of a book containing the most ecmplete and comprehensive commercial and banking tables we have ever seen. embracing time, simple iaterest, unexpired time and interest ; interest, account current, time and averagivg ; compound interest ; scientific div count, both rimple and compound ; annual inzome anc. annuity tables, equa'ly adapted to the currencies of all commercial nations ; the true or intrinsic value of gold and silver coins, and the standard weights and measures: of all countries ; also, American, English, French and» Gormon exchanges, together with the exchange of Brazil, and the importation cf Rio coffee—arranged with refer- erce to the harmonizing of the ac:ounts and exchanges» of the world, by R.

Its tables contain all the intricate caleulations that usually arise in the use of moncy, or the averaging of cecouats for settlem las: resour The entire field appears to be embraced, and scarcely anything remains to be performel by others. Its results are so condensed that it is difficult to conceive: how they can be further simplified in figures and pre serve a practical value ; at the same time, they seem so simple that the merest tyro of the counting house ean readily become familiar with their use, A single page or a couple of pages, present the results of all the tran’ sactions of a bank in the way of disccunts for a month. A half dozen pages contain all the transactions that exn ordinarily arise in either American. sterling, French, or German exchange, whether at a premium or discount, and whether the individual desirea to invest in or realize on.
