In fact, the only use of this General Fund (except asa ledger account, as before stated,) i staining the ex- penditures of the State, seems to e in its power of bsorbing money belonging to other funds, and furnish: img a name by which its debts can be correctly stated upon the books of this department, The importance of showing fully the actual operation of this system of steadily depleting for the ordinary ex- | Charitable institutions, viz :-— ee and dumb.

On the 9th February, 1841, Lord Palmerston expressed his approvai to Mr. Fox of the part he had taken, and urged him to insist upon the release of Mr. MeLecd; but Mr: Forsythe and the gorern- ment he represented persisted in their refusal, and Mr, McLeod remained in prison, A change in the adminis- tration took place at Washington in the month of March, 1841, and Mr, Webster became Secretary of State under the hew government, General Harrison being t President. On the 12th of March, Mr. Fox doomed it proper to renew his application {o the United States overnment, and to require upon the same ground as fithad belore dove, that Mr. MeLeod should be. set at liberty. Mr. Webster, from his experience and extend- the value of the goods at the place to which they were imported. There were various charges for hghterage, wharfage, &c.; but no amount was fixed, and he did not see how they could be charged. He submitted that the claimant should receive the amount of his claim, with such deductions only as it was fair to make, and with such rates of interest as he should receive. General Tuomas, for the United States, contenied that the claim should net be brought before the commission. The party had filed his claim before the Treasury Depart- ment in October, 1853, and the excuse given for not pro- ceeding with it was not satisfactory. This was an at- tempt to evade the decision of the proper department of the United States, and to bring this claim before the commission away from the evidence and the person en- titled by law to adjudicate upon it, with the hope of getting more out of the commission than could be ob- ined from the Treasury Department of tho United States. He had the Secretary's letter to show that this claim, if established, would have been settled; and be- fore the party ‘could claim under the commission he should have exhausted all the remedies which the laws be necessary for a Pope in difticulties to go one step fur- ther backward, in order to add a new saint to the calen- dar and a new miracle to the annals of the church.

We shall wait with some curisoity this bold experi- ment on the cradulity of mankind, and if it sucseeda, though we sball not be able to agree with Mr. Macaulay that the teaching of the Church is the saing in all ages, we shall certainly be disposed to admit to him that, after having done this with impunity, no amount of absurdity, however gross—no deception, lowever transparent—no fraud or falsehood, however glaring, can shake the em- pire of the Roman Catholic Church over the minds of men, or teach them to apply to her the sama canons of “abide the event, and judgment ordered for defendant on | ed knowledge of international law, put a construction | of the country provided for him.
