George Washington, Nov. 27, 1783, and Gen, Washington’s reply, Nov, 29, of the same year. He had also discovered an address to Governor Clinton oa the result of the Peace, with bis reply. At the same time oth gentlemen were made honorary members of the s0- ciety. He exhibited the documents, which bore evident aoarks of their age av‘! authenticity. “The ink in the body of Gen.

WASHINGTON. o his Fxcellency Grorce Wastincton, Esq., Commander- in-Chief of the Armies of the United Stas of America:— ‘ The bumble address of the Marine Society of the city of New York, &. May it please you Excellency--While we participate in the lively joy that appears dispersed through ail ranks of people, we beg leave to approach your Excellency to @Mfer you our congratulations upon your return to this eity, and the happy termination of a war in which you bave sustained a most conspicuos and glorious part. It were needless to recount, because the world already ‘knows, the singular virtues you have displayed in every stage of a contest which, on the part of America, was ‘enparalieied for difficulties and dangers. Nor is it for us to expatiate on that disinteres’edness and patriotlam, that valor aud perseverance, that coolness in action and wis- dom in council, which’ have filled ai! Europe with your applauses, and so greatly contributed to fix the libertivs of this country upon the broad and permanent basis of mde- pendence. A subject so sacred and dignified falls to the province of history, and happy will that biscorian be who shall succeed in a task which even the ablest might trem- ble to undertake. But it is not for public virtues alone that your Ex- wellency is distinguished; let the numerous officers and wokiiers who bave shured with you the perils ef the field and are now the companions of your lory sgain declare, as they often have declared, cafes ge ton they were to determine whether most to atmire or love you; for, while on the one hand they wore astonished ai the military talents and virtues of their General, they were drawn to adore you by the ir- Fesistibie attractions of such politeness and condescension, such humanity and sweetness of disposition, as were ne- ‘ver, perhaps, before exbibited by any other comnander. Your Exceliency is now retarning from your labors, happily and gloriously accomplished, to the shade of pri- vate lite. How glorious a situation, when you consider that the blessings and applauses of all good men and lo- ‘vers of their country follow you, and that your services will be ever held im grateful remembrance by the vir- ‘uous citizens of these States, and their children’s children ‘@fter them. Among those who are willing to pay their best tributes ‘ef regard to your Excellency, this corporation would wish to appear. They have, therefore, unanimously elected jou one of their members, hoping that this institution, inded upon the most liberal and humane principles, ‘aptly coinciding with your Excellencv’s benevolent dispo- sition, will mect with your hearty approbation.

THE RESPONSE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON. To Tuk Marine Socery ov Tus Ciry or New Youk:— GENTLEMEN—I consider myself highly honored by the polite attention showo me in your address, and the too partial manner in which you are pleased to ‘express your 1 private conduct; at the same time assure the society that I am ex Qremely happy in becoming a member of their humane and excellent institution. ‘To have conducted as a nation with so much dignity and propriety, through the unparalleled difticulties and angers of an ur to have accomplished our foodest wishes, « country upon the broad and permanent basis of indepen- dence, will ever reflect the truest glory on tue patriots of the present age, and afford the amplest field of deserip- tion for the future historian. It would bea mark of the greatest insensibility in me not to partake in the public joy, or not to derive an unu- sual degree of satisfaction from’ the approbation of good men and lovers of their country. Believe me, gentle- men,! shall return to private life impressed with the most pleasing sevsatious. A recollection of the happy scene to which I have lately been a witness will attend me in my solitary walks, and cheer me in the shade of re- tirement. * GEO. WASHINGTON.

Ta making the presentation Marsha tl spoke as follawe:— we duty 4 alta hry pee Me to present you this piece of plate. members! Marine Bockety, desiring to express their appreciation of your long, valuable and faitbfu! services as Treasorer, ask our acceptance of this testimonial. You have been Trea- Burer of this institution nearly a quarter of the time since its foundation, in 1770, the teuth year of George tho Third, About ninety years ago that charter was . The carefu) muvber in which you have conducted the flnaucial affairs of tle society, your devotion to its interest and your uniform character as 4 man and gentleman, ore inch a failor,) anda sailor’s friend, are worthy of our highest com- mendation, Ihave scarcely ever felt more gratification, and I consider ita privilege wo be one of the number ‘upon this occasion, to present you with this (I trust) last- ing token of our regard. This feeling, sir, is greatly aug- mented by the fact that I am quite eure you wil be the compliment, emanating as it does from your ds, and being the reward of valuable services, devoted to one of the noblest charifies in this community. Iu saying this much J certainly express the sentiments of every member with whom you have been associated. rane may you enjoy this well earned reputation. Sir, I cou! wish that this task, pleasing as it isto me, might have failen into abler hands, One more familiar with this duty, and more accustomed to rare, these addresses, would, f am confident, have discharged it more interestingly to ou; but to pone, I assure you, would the occasion ave afforded more eipcere personal gratification than to myself. It is a subject full interest, and 80 agreeable that it cannot fail to warm the heart of every member of this society. 1 will not longer detain you, but will close my remarks with wishing that your future Gays may be your happiest, anw that when the curtain falis upon your earthly career, and these hall, in which we have met so often and so pleasantly, know you no more, this tribute to your character may descend to your children as an evidence of a valuable and well spent life. Captain Copland responded briefly, thaniing the so- ciety for the aistinguished honor conferred upon bim, and submitted a detailed statement of the financia! operations of the society during bis term of office since 1840. The amount of money and other property passing through his hands was $127,674 73. The society then went in ensuing year, with the foil President, Vice President Second Vice President. ‘Treasure Secretary Counsel, ‘The officers we july swo n in and the following stand- ing committee appointed:—J. M_ Ferrier, J. Briggs, Ni thaniel Briggs, Samuel Candler, Wm. Thompson, J. Cop- land, Thomas Dunham, A. W. Welden, E. E. Morgan, Aso i Swift, A.C. Marshall, A. B. Clark and Joseph Tink- a Capt. Marshall briefly returned hig thanks for the hovor of re-electing him, for the fifteenth time, as Presi- dent. He called attention to the fact that captains did not fully appreciate the benefits of the society; that the Sailors’ Soug Harbor had been well conducted and has nearly four hundred inmates, and that the Seamen’s Re- treat, to which this society sends a trustee, is in a pros- Pei condition, He expressed his willingness to ee ig position whenever the society could get any one to charge his duties better than he could. His remarks were received with applause, and capecial- ly the announcement by one of the members that the vote was unanimous—the biank vote being cast by himself. After the regular business was finished the members adjourned to a substantial supper, which is always pro- vided at the annual meeting, and did full justice to the good things, The New Brevet Admiral, SUBSTITUTE FOR NAVAL BOARDS OF INQUIRY—AN ADJUTANT REQUIRED FOR THE NAVY. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. We see that it is proposed in Congress to make a Brevet Admiral of Commodore Stewart. This is right, and we hope the measure may be carried through, not only as a. reward for his distinguished services in war, but as some- thing to assuage hig wounded feclings by the action of the late Retiring Board. But we hope that Congress wMll frown down any further action in favor of creating other ad- mirals, it being contrary to the instincts of our people or the wants of our navy, for at least the next half century. We also find that many officers have been reinstated by the Executive, notwithstanding their having been go un- ceremoniously set aside after careful examination by a Special board, Upon a more careful examination by another, they are pronounced as good and true, and now itis rumored the restored are about to have their perse- cutors themselves examined, and there would seem to be no end to the difficulties among the navy officers. These arise mainly,as we think, after many’ years experience and observation, from the want of a balance wheel, or an officer in the navy corresponding to an adjutant in the army, for detail of service without favor or affection. As th'ngs now area friend at court, or, still better, a resi- dence near the Navy Department, is nowhere better under- stood than among navy men. The man without the first, or at a distance, may be sometimes picked up and started off when nothing desirable is on hand, but then, and then ovly, while favored ones hi all they want to the almost entire exclusion of the rest, Nothing is more common than that the captain who has just had a flag, after enjoy- ing afavorite shore station, should be put in the first vacant navy yard, to the exclusion of some other equally meritorious cllicer, who can get neither the one nor the other; and in a case we have in view the officer so favored is allowed to hold over, to the prejudice of all others. Now this creates disgust and dampens zeal in honora- bie minds, and leade officers to such conduct as makes ma- terial for another board by-aud-bye to shake off excres- ences. With an unflinching captain, or officer not below a commander, with his Roster to say whose turn of duty it is, as on board ship or in the army, hen would’ or 1d bave a right to complain; ld be, “Do or 4 of the departm saved a world of trouble. He would oaly, on complaint, have to refer to the otlicer having charge of the detail roll, who, being a navy officer fre: lahood, conversant with all the rights anv feelings of other of would be fully posted up, and from his roll for duty could fairly be no appeal; for should he be at all'ont from any canse, the whole navy would be down on him, and bim oniy. course it would not be understood to restrict the bi the department from the selection of prop ° extraneous Commands as circus: ally present themselves; but the roll would show those an election for oflcers for the ing reauit:— Capt. Charles H. Marshall. John M. Farrier. from whom he might elect the man for the occasion without doing glaring injustice w others. As the navy list now shows, there are few cn it that stand ont stronger than their fellows, either for merit or talent. Let justice be done, then, to ail, It is not the intention of the writer of this to go at present into details, or it could be shown that some officers seem to be more’ favored than others, but only to hint at some who first have bad a navy yard— and the best, too—then a squadron in the Mediterranean, with steamers to tow them from pillar to post, and re- turming home ‘ind the same best yards at their command, while others can only look on and say what they think. To prevent the necessity of future boards or present courts, @ discontented corps of navy men, whose rights and feelings seem not to be considered, let some unemployed captain or commander be ordered to keep the service roll in the Navy Office, and ghould any not answer to bis call, let the foot of the list be bis position until be turns up again, and then, if there be no response, let bim retire to private life. The navy would soon begin to look up. No necessity then for Retiring Boards or ad- mirals. All would be ready and anxious for avy service on which the government should eee {it to order them. Honest zeal and hearty effurt would no doubt take the place of the bard fe contempt aud bickering now arising among the officers from an unfair distribution of the honors and bardships of the service —_—_—————_____..

NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY Ni, 185 The banks, of course, are tending their money to specula- tora om fancy stocks. They are likely to want it again Defore many wecks elapse. By the end of the month the new government loan, and the other loans which are about to be called for, will render the banks less anxious than they are at present to place their means at the dis” posal of stock speculators. Money is without change. Many persons who propose to buy some of the public securities which are shortly coming on the market are lending on call at very low Fates, in order not to lose their interest altogether, and yetto have their means at command. Business paper continues to be scarce. Foreign exchange opens dull at Jast quotations for the Cunard steamer on Wednesday. ‘The leading speculators for the rise were to-day materi- ally assisted by some of the more timid bears, who, partly on the news from Europe, bought to cover their contracts. ‘This caused, at the morning session, an appearance of ac- tivity and a pretty general rise in stocks. The outside public, however, are strangers to the movement; rather more shares are coming into than going out of the street. Nor could it be otherwise. Of all the stocks on the list, New York Central is the one most in favor with the speculators for the rise, Yet, so far as in- trinsic value is concerned, there never was a time when New York Central was worth lees than itis now.

Now, it is well known that the dividend of February, 1858, was raised by the sale, in this city, by the company, of some $600,000 of bonds at 90 cents on the dollar; and the report, deceptive as it is, does not pro- tend that, even with this aid, the company earned any- thing above 8 per cent in 1857-58. If, then, the New York Contral, after earning $3 444,709 in August-Decem- der, 1857, and borrowing $600,000 by the sale of bonds, was only able to pay 4 per cent in February, 1858, how much can it honestly pay in February, 1859, when the earnings for the same five months of 1868 were only $2,998,715, and the company has no bonds to sell?

That the tollacious and mista sen idea that the State has not given its faith is met by the fact that the entire action is hors--her law giving validity and direstion to the bonds— i nt—her land is pledged— the bones are called hers in the foreign market, and hers will be the diegrace and dishonor if the faith and credit of the State is not maintained by their prompt payment, both of principal and interest.
