Our relative ability to bear the burden is not so easily ascertain- ei with accuracy. The nations] government has hithor- to rested go lightly upon the people that their resources have never been tried. Let us look 3 moment at the sources of revenue that support the expences of govern ment in the two empires with whose financial condition wo have been comparing our own. Ehgland derives annually twenty-three millions sterling from duties upon foreign imports; but something less than one million of this sam is levied, after the manner of our import duties, upon commodities which compete with her domestic productions. The other twenty-two millions aro, in effect, taxes upon consumption, or excesses collected at the custom house. Six millions upon sugar» five and a half upon tobacco, and five and a half upon 48, are all strictly of this character; and so of all the remaindor of her import duties, except one million of pounds. From excises, or inland taxes upon consump- tion, and from property taxes, the revenue receives ‘hirty millions moro; from stamps eight millions, and from other inland taxes nine millions. Here we have about three hundred and thirty-eight millions of dollars raised by inland taxes, and only five by customs duties, in our méaning of the word—threo hundred and forty- three millions of doliars raised annually to meet one bun, dréd and thirty-four millions of interest upon the public dodt and tho ordinary expenditures of the government. Our debt at the end of the current fiscal year asks less than thirty millions to discharge its interest; and if poaco ‘were restored about forty or fifty millions more would cover the expenditures of the government. France raises every year three hundred and fifty mil- lions of doliars—of which the customs proper afford less than thirty millions, and internal taxes all tho rest. Stamps yield sixty-eight millions; direct taxes upon land ‘and other property ninety, and licenses, excises anil other indirect taxes ninety-three millions more. We have hitherto avoided direct taxation. We have not had much or frequent occasion to resort to it, and wo ave all along had a decided aversion to excises, stamps and collectors, fret awakened by the endea- vor of England to employ them against us be- fore the Revolution, and the {il timed introduction of them under the administration of the elder Adams: But England and the governments of the conti. nent have proved by an experience, fuli of the most trying Gnanciat exigencies, what the system of in ternal taxation, direct aud indirect, is capable of. The national wealth has everywhere grown under it im. mensely. Whether it be so much in aid or hindrance of the general prospority, it is certain that the community purse is Giled so much faster than it is depleted, where the system obtains, that populations no greater than our own grow rich under burthens from four to eight times greater than we are now called upon to bear, Arithmetically resources answer the requirement easily. Suppose ninety millions a year required to pay the interest on our public debt, provide a sinking fund for its gradual reduction, and meet the ordinary ex- penses of the public service. The value of the real and personal property of the loyal States alone is cloyen thousand millions of dollars, Ono per cent would give one hundred and ten millions; the customs and public lands must annually yield forty millions, without a penny from tea, coffee and sugar. These articles, assuming the consumption of the loyal States to be two-thirds of the quantities imported , ‘when (hey were imported free of duty, would afford, at the rates propozod by the Secretary of the Treasury:— 100,000,000 Ibs. coffee, at 6 cents........« g Ibs. 2 i 710000 000 Tha. tea, at 20 ane ¥ Stamps in Great Britain pay to the revonue forty mil lions of doliars; in France, sixty-eight millions; with us they might pay say, ten millions very easily, The exciso duties on British spirits amount to forty-five millions, Wo could chargo our consumption with ten millions These sums together maké one hundred and eighty-three amillions. There stil! remain batik notes, legacies, ear. Tiages, tobacco, and other St subjects of taxation, which would carry up the total to three times the ninety mil- ons required; and the rates here suggested could there” fore be cut down to one-third on the total product by re- duction of these per centages, or judicious selection of the objects, and still cover the requirement completely. It is tofurnish the data, not to indicatea echeme of taxation, that these points are presented. Our people must beeome familiar with the whole subject of national debt and the required provision for it. The facts and calculations given here are materials for the formation of such opinions as will guide the public jadgment and ac; tion in the premises. Board of Councilmen. CLOSING MEETING OF THE BOARD—OOMPLIMENTARY RESOLUTIONS— SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT. ‘The last meeting of this Board was held last evening, Morgan Jones, Ksq., presiding. As soon as the minutes of the previous meeting were read aud approved, a num- ber of unimportant general orders passed by the Alder- men were concurred in. A resolution fixing the rate of compensation to carmen in the service of the city was fixed at two dollars and fifty cents per day, excepting when carrying away tho refuse of sewers, in which case it will be three dollars. Aresolution appropriating $775 to pay for the photo- of the mn presented to Alderman Peck was concurred in, Mr. Pinckney humorously observing that the work was cheap. The wd concurred to advertise for proposals to build a steam fire engine for Engine Com- ns Hall after which a resvlution tendering the thanks of d to the clerks was adopted. Mr. Orton offered a resolution thanking the President for tho able, dignified, courteous and impartial manner in which he has discharged the delicate and responsible duties of presiding officer. He accompanied the resolu- tion with a few appropriate remarks. Mr, Barngy seconded the resolution, which was sup- ported by Mr. Srevrnson, who said it was a just tribute tothe President. He proceeded. to say that during the year the Board had been called upon to Jogislate upon im- tant matters,and when they were called upon to leg! late in roference to the rebellion, the Board was a pert¢ unit in ail measures calculated to sustain the administy tion Ia the struggle that was now going on in our country Party Jines had been abrogated when great issues were at stake,and their action was perfectly harmonious through- out the year. ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted, after which the Prustpest replied as follows :— Gentlemen of the Board of Councilmen—For this very compiimentary exhibition of your confidence and regard Accept mny carnest and sincere thanks. Upon occasious of this character, when, after contmued association, olfi- cially and personally, ovr relations in this body are about to coase, it is impossible for me to transiate into suitable language such an expression of my feelings as your kind- ness deserves. The past year, gentlemen, lias been pr Jific in great events, with many of which this Board been prominently identified, The legislation necessarily demanded to meet the requirements of a great city has been faithfully and promptly passed, sud fean congci- entiously congratulate you, gentlemen of the Board, at the close cf our official relations, upon the fact that despite frequent difference of opinion upon the de- sirability of this or that measure, there has been at all times a general unanimity “of good fecling and propriety of demeanor. Upon all occasions I have found you ready aad wing to aid me in the perform- ance of my duty, and Igladly acknowledge that with- out such assistance the duties of my oflice would have been most embarrassing. At times it has been neces- sary for me, as your presiding officer, to cheek and again to stimulate action: but I trust J have been guided by a strict adhesion to what seemed to me right and neces- sary. Believe me, gentlemen, that while our official conhecticn is about to expire, it is my heartfelt desire that the friendship which has been so firmly cemented dy our intercourse here will last for many years to come, and that we may hereafter have as littic cause for regret in future transactions as we have in thinking over the actions of our past connection. Again thanking you for your kind expressions of regard, i bid you officially farewell. ‘Mr. Oxrox presented a resolution tendering the thanks of the Board to the representatives of the press, who had reported the proceedings of the Board with so much uni- form justice, which was adopted. After the reading of the minutes the Eoard adjourned sine die. Toronto as a Military Depot. [From the Toronto Globe, Dec. 27. The position occupied by Toronto in the Western Pro- vince renders it extremely probable that large numbers of troops will be concentrated here. The seisure of this city by an eneiny would Le as disastrous to the Western penin- sula as the seizitve of Montreal to ihe wholeof Upper Canc Our Hamilton, London, Guelph, Stratford, Chatham, G rich and Sarnia friends would Le cut of fom ail communi- cotion with the Bust, te vines” yee J with Engiand. But by keeping a sufficient body of mon here, successfully to resist apy attack upon tho city, such aca:amity would be spared them. And should aby part of the Upper Pro- vinco be metaced, ehould those whom we may yet have to call enemies invade by way of Sarnia, of Port Stanley, or of Niagara, or by way of Kington or Go. bourg, our central position, and the diferent railway: which’ radiate from the city would enatle us spudily to meet them. It. must not be forgotten that Colliugwood is within our reach, During the last war, when impenetra- ble forests between Lakes Ontario and Huron rendered it impossib!e for large bodies of troops, who might effect a landing on the spot where Collmgwood now stands, to pass southward, the point was of far less importance than it is at present, Collingwood, in the possession of an enemy, and all our exertions in the peninsular would be paralyzed until we had driven him into the lake. ‘Toronto being the southorn termfius of the Northern Railway is the best point that can bo selected to cover Colimgwood. while at the same time we affurd protection to East aud West alike. Not only do military considerations point to Toronto as an in| t point d@appui, but there are other reasons— though not equaily poten!—which lead to the belief that before the winter is out the number of red coats in the city will bo jargeiy increased. We more extended means of providiig for the comfort pf the soldiers than any of our neighbors. All the advantages of a large city areours. Now that the Mechanics’ Institute is opened, the St. Lawrence Hall is littic needed, and might speedily be titted up so as to afford accommodation to several hundred men, Then there is the Crystal Palace. if it were lathed and plastered inside—a taek which might easily and speedily be accomplished—a great number of men would be supplied with comfortable quarters. The extensive grounds surrounding it afford ample space for driil, and it is in proximity to the barracks now occupied by the Thirtieth regiment. Then again, rumor has it that earthworks are to be thrown up near the mouth of the river Dom. The quarters of the men will necegsa- rily have to be in the neighborhood. The House of Re- foge, now very nearly completed, may be reality adapted to hold a battalion. It is a large and substantial build- ing, containing rooms the officers in the Parliament Houso would be very glad to have at their disposal. Like the Exhibition Building, it is surrounded by extensive grounds. If any more troops are gent to the city—aud there is every probability that before the next week 1s out, ano- ther reziment will be here—we trust the Municipal autho- rities will bring the accommodation afforded by the House of Refuge to the notice of his Excellency. In justice to the inhabitants of the eastern section of Toronto, this step should be taken, Jf more men than cau readily be accommodated in the buildings we have-mentioued should be sent here, there are certain rows of stores in various parts of the city, the owners whereof would be very glad to ft them for the reception of a regiment or two, We know the ofi- cors object to quartering men in ditfereat buildings, but from its larger size any such necessity must arise less frequently in Toronto than in any other city of tho Western Province. Should a long siay by the troops be expected, barracks may have to be built. The ordnance grounds are close to the railways, the Grand Trunk, Great Western and Northern lines paseing within a stone's throw of the present barracks, so that every faciiity exists for the conveyance of stores at the ieast possible expense. This very probatle also that in the event of awar Toronto ill be made a large naval stalin. Our position upon the Jake gives us the same advantages as our position upon the land. The Ainericans will never dare to pass far beyond the Niagara frontier on their way to Hamilton, as our Larbor is filled with ships ready to convey troops to actupon their rear, This fact besides is in our favor. The eastern channel—now more than a mile in width— will in all probability prevent the freezing of the bay in frout of the city. At any rate, the channel and tho western and largest portion of our harbor is al- ways open. Not so with Kingston and other placos upon the lakes. They are completely ico bound, and should ap enemy make his ap- pearance, the ships being unable to move, would be aimost useless for purposes of defence. It is @ matter of the first importance that during all seasons of the year the war vessels should be free to act upon any portion of the lake, and Toronto harbor is tho only one on Lake On- tario whore they will not be shut up ia winter. All things considered, the advantage® possessed by Toronto render it impossible for any city in Western Canada successfully to compete with it, and there is good reason to suppose thot the it portion of the troops who may be sent to the Western province will be quar- tered here. So far ag tho action of our citizens is con- cerned, no paing will be spared to make their sojourn as free from inconyen; cheetah hel enjoyment ag cir- cumstances wi I panel 5 The New Tariff.

Tn your article in to-day’s issue you say you donot think the government will have to refund the duties on goods imported and in bonded warehouse before the pas- sage of the act alluded to, which raised the dutica, aud which higher duties have now been forced out of the merchants, An old principle of law is, ‘No law can be made retroactive;” and this would be essentially go, and will undoubtedly cause us trouble with foreign Powers; and justly, for wo ourselves objected to Spain doing, in principle the same thing, though the cage there was not as avated as this one, viz:—When she made a new tariff for Cuba we demanded, and she refunded, dutics oa goods shipped, but not arrived, when the new tariff went into effect—on the principle that our merchants had made their calculations, and ap sales to arrive, on the old basis.

LOW- ENBERG, CONVIOTED OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. Jan. 4.—The argument in arrest of judgment in the case of Charles M. Jefferds and Dr. Lowenberg (both of whom had been convicted of murder in the first do- gree), which was set down for this morning, took place before the Recorder. When the prisoners were brought up for sentence a few days sinco, it was stipulated by counsel for Lowenberg that the decision of the Court relative to Jeffords would be agreed to by him, as the game question was involyed in both cases. In consequence of the indisposition of Mr. James T: Brady, counsel for Jefferds, tho matter was postponed till Saturday; but Mr. Henry Clinton, counsel for Dr. Lowenberg, having had more time to prepare the argu- ment than Mr. Brady, Mr. Clinton was selected to addrees the Court on # motion in arrest of judgment, His main proposition in arguing against the con- stitutionality. of the present law of murder in the first degree was that penal statutes should be constructed strictly , and that the present law was so ambiguous that this Court had no power to impose any sentence what- ever. He contended that there was no law in force at the time the indictment was found against which the offence could be laid, and hence there could be no legal convic- tion. There was an omission in the statute to provide any penalty for murder in the first degree, and therefore it was as though there was no such offence alluded to upon the statute book; for a crime without a punishment in point of law was no crime at all. Mr. Waterbury replied briefly, citing the Hartung case, passed upon by the Court of Appeals, Judge Denio having clearly stated that it was the intention of the Legislature to retain the death penalty, Mr, Brady, in a brief but able speech, reiterated tho views which his associate took in reference to the present law relative to murder, and in tho course of his observations said that the intention to do an aet and the performance of it were very different. Whatever might have becn the in- tention of the Legislature in framing the law of murder in the first degree, the omission to state explicitly what tho punishment shall be was fatal. The Recorder said that, although it waa a disgrace to the Legislature of this State that the question of murder in the first degree should be left open to discussion, his duty itl the matter was perfectly clear. In the face of the decision of Judge Denio in the case of Mrs. Hartung, he could not announce as the opinion of this Court that there was no punishment for murder in the first degree. It war his duty to pronounce sentence upon the prisoners, after which their counsel could procure a writ of error. Charles M. Jefferds wag then arraigned and asked why sentence should not be pronounced against him, to which he made the subjoined reply:—‘My counsel have argued the ease so ably that I do not fecl disposed to say any- thing about it; and what I could say would probably have no effect on the community at large. I only repeat that Tam innocent of the offence for which 1 have been con- victed. Ihave been convicted by perjury, and I do nct feel disposed to go into the ease any further.” SENTENCE OF JESFERDS. The Recorder then passed the following sentence:— Charles M. Jefferds—The murders of John Waiton and John W. Mathows, on the night of the Soth of June, 1860, gent a thrill of horror through this whole cofhmunity. The former fell by the hand of the assassin, lying in wait to exceute his deadly purpose; the latter, forgetting aly danger to himself, and thinking only of his duty as a citi- zen, gave chaso to the murderer, who, to escape arrest, turned upon his pursuer, and with unerring aim fired tho shot which caused his instant death. All this occurred in the open thoroughfares of the crowded city, in the bright moonlight of a calin and beautiful summer's night, with the lights yet gleaming from the windows of the surrounding houses, and under circumstances which, it would seem, would have rendered the immodiate deiection of the murderer almost certain. From that time, however, until this last Christmas eve, the question as to who was the actor in this terrible tragedy has been undecided, and then it wag answered by the verdict of that jury which pronounced you guilty ot the murder of Jobn W. Mathews. That verdict hus, I beliove, met the approval of almost every man who heard or carefully read the evidence upon whicii it was founded, You were first tried for the murder of John Walton. The evidence on that trial, in July last, pointed strongly towards you as the guilty man, but was not sul ficient to warrant your conyiction, and you were acquitted. Once again got at liberty, you guve way to the habits of idleness and, dissipation which had marked your previous course; and in your folly conse- quent thereon you made revelations to’ the “detective” who was put upon your track which sealed your fate for- ever. Aside from the direct admission you made to bim, when alone and in the presence of others, you said enough to enable the officers of justice to uscertaia where you purchased the pistol with which it was be- Weved the murderous deed had been done. Tho facts which were known before, connection with those thus discovered, secured your conviction when you were brought to your trial upon the charge of having murdered Jotun W, Mathews. The detaiis of th:.t trial I shall not reca- pitulate. It is not necessary todo so, and Igiadly refrain. ‘They present a picture of immorality and crime too pain- ful to contemplate, Your mother, whom you had charged with being the instigator of your crime, came upon the witneeves’ stand, and, while testifying on your behalf, was compelied to and did lay bare the secret history of her life. It failed to be of any service to you. Yourcoun- sel, with a zeal, fidelity and ability which could not be surpassed, exhausted all ible means to insure your acquittal, but in vain, No human efforts could overcome the terrible array of facts and circumstances which were brought to Deur against you. And now you, yet under twenty-five years stand here a convicted murderer, and, as far as 1 have been able to observe, have as yet exhibited no sorrow for your crimes. Your sen- tence, which will be imprisonment snd death, wiil, } hope, caase you to realizo your awful situation: You’ cannot escape punishment, and in your felon cell, in the long, weary nights yet to come, you will, if you have not already done so, think With horror upon the critne you have committed, and realize with bitter semorse the fearful judgment you have brought v yourself. That you may, ere you die, repent au: forgiveness of Him who is ready and willing to forgive, is the sincere prayer of the Judge who preside at your trial, and who now, in the discharge of his solemn duty, pronounces sentence upon you according to e of the Court is that you, Charles M. Jefterds, for the murder and felony of which you have been coay li, on Friday, the 20th day of February , 1862, be! hours of ten in the morning and two in the a’ sulfur the punishmentof death, and that you fined at hard labor in the State Prison until such punish ment of death shall be inflicted. Jofferds cid not exhibit the slightest feeling when the sentence was pronounced, but, on the contrary, showed the samo indifference which his countenance manifested throughout the trial, When he took his seat he looked around the room and emiied, and appeared as happy as if he were about to be reteased from the iron hand of jus. tice and law. . SENTENCE OF DR. LOWENBERG, Dr. Moses Lowenberg, convicted of tho murder of Mr Hoffman, was thea placed at the bar for senteace Mr. Clinton said that he had been requested by his client to say that, although the jury had convicted him of murder in the first degree, be did not contemplate causing the death of the unfortunate deceased. His Honor, ta sentencing the prisoner, addressed him thus Moses Lowenberg, you have been indicted, tried and convicted of murder ‘inthe first degree. Al A dilt- gent counsel exhausted every effort in your defence, and witnceses of high standing aud character appeared in your behalf; but the plain, unmistakoable facts of the case overcame all, and an’ impartial jury haye pro- cod against you their verdict of guilty. In un tice of the verdict I fully concur. You are a mau e e. Youhave been the instructor of youth im the fami of seme of cur rst citizens, aud you have been the associate of gou- tiemen, to whom you have taught languages, of which you are said to bea master. But education, experience and associations, all combined, have failed to teach you to keep under restraint the violence of temper to which you are this day indebted for the ruin which overwhelms you. The evidence in your case shows clearly tho following facts:—You were the occupant of the front basement room at No. lil Firat avenue; your victim and his family oc. cupied the rear room on the same floor; you were their superior in education and intelligence, and, therevore, better fitted than they to set an oxample of patience and for' . On the morning of the 14th day of Novem- ber, 1861, you wore seated in your room and they, in theirs. dirs, Hoffman, the wife of your victim, was pre- ‘ing hereelf for her daily labors, and her husband sat Iding on his lap his little child. ‘The front basement door was open. eo went and closed it; you immedi. ately opened it again. She, after a short interval, re- closed it aud went in to her room; you violently slammed it open ake. She spoke of it to her hus- and he he would go and shut it, She, it seems, setting to both of you an example of pa- tient forbearance, told him to wait and she would seo the landiady; but he, doubtless become irritated be- cause would keep the door open against his wifo's wishes, went and cioned it. You camo from your room, hand; he placed his left hand on the door to ut it; you placed yours on it to open it; he exclaimed, et tho door be shut,” and you immediately, without a warning, planged your sword three times in quick succession into his breast; he, exclaiming that he was stabbed, retired to his room. To ee of bis frightened wife,.‘Is it hard?’’ he replied, “Yes, I foot now the blood running inside.” In a few moments his wife was @ widow, his child was fatherless and became, in the eye of the law, @ murderer. When you ‘were arrested, no blood was found on the sword. It was all wiped off, You told*the officer you did the deed in self-defence, Tho evidence refutes that statement. You went from your room armed with a deadly weopon. Your victiin was unarmed, and no fact if the case indicates any excuse or justification Hhuvd applied. to'the poiee Ir you needed protection have you tion, yor cold it'was. yoo much tro¥ble to do that.” Shat February, 1863, between the hours of ten o'clock A.

Upon the assembling of this body he wi vited to the office of tecretary of State by G Francis Thomes, and accepted the appoinument, Ww! fulfilled with signal ability. During the term of Governor Thomas, Chief Justice Avcher,of the Baltimore County Court, deceased, and Mr. Legrand was chosen as his suc- cessor. Wo very well remember the consternation with which tho appointment was re Old democrats were indignant, and the vererable ‘Court House clique” Was overwhehined with well affected, if act real dismay, and sneered at the selection of a “boy.” Bat the you ful Judge took his seat, and before ho had presided a single term it was not only apparent that no “boy” was in the chair, no mere perfunctory official, but a man of talent and great legal acumen, eminently qualified for the station, and discharging its duties with dignity, efliciency and impartiality, He, accordingly, received the prompt and respectful coufidehce of the ontire bar; for none, per- haps, are more frank and gonerous in the recognition of real (alent than true men of the legal profession. Upon tho adoption of the new constitution, by which an elective judiciary superseded the existing appointees, Judge Legrand was nominated for the office of Judye of the Court of Appeals, the supreme court of the State, for the Third district, cohsisting of the city of Baltimore, and olected, and was subsequently designatea by executive authority as Chief Justice of that court. He continued in that office, fullilling its high and arduous dutics with fidelity to the public welfare and the utmost gatisfaction of the people atlorgo. His term of office expired only with the recent eiection of bis euceessor, and in the dis- pensation of Providence he hag survived his public rela- tion to the State but a few days. Judge Legrand was unmarried, and in his intercourse with the world was genial and free, His gocial qualities commended him to a large circle of friends, to whom hi true worth, the cordiality ana glow of his spirit, tho- roughiy endeared him, and with these especially, as by all who knew him, bis logs will be sincerely deplored. COL, WILLIAM A. WEBB. [from the Chicago Tribune.) The telegraph this morning brings us the gad news of the death of William A. Webb, Colonel of the First regi- ment, Douglas Brigade, which occurred at Smithton, Mo. on the 24th ult. Farther than that his death was cause by typhoid fever, that scourge of camp life, the tele- graph leaves us without particulars, Col. Webb was born at Dover, Me., in 1834, and was a graduate of West Point. In 1853 he received a commission as Brevet Second Lieutenant iu the Fourtli United States infantry, and was subsequenuly First Licutenant in the Fifth ‘infantry. After (ho breaking out of the present war ho recoived a commission dated May 14, 1861, as Captain in the Six- teenth regiment, recruited largely from this city, and for @ long time stationed at Desplaincs, on the Northwestern Railroad. Subsequently he received the position of mus- tering and subsisting officer at this point, and under his watchful care and with the aid of bis excellent and prac tical advice nearly if not al! the regiments which have leit here were organized. At the time of the organization of the Douglas Brigade Col. Webb took an especial interest in its formation, and £0 largely gained the affec:ions of the men that he w:s unanimously elected Colonel of the First regimest, a posi- tion which he accepted with tho permission cf the War Department. After conducting his regiment to its desti- nation in Missouri, he returned to this city to settle up the affairs of his office, and leaving it in charge of Lieut. Christopher, he rejoined his regiment in Mizsouri a few ‘weeks since, and entered upon the active dutics of ser- vice. The text tidings we learn is his sudden death, an event which must be the signalof unusual grief’ ia the military and social circles of this city. Col. Webb was but @ young man, only thirty-four years of age, and had but just ontered the brilliant path marked out for himself, In Ler pion: be was an expert, and was posserred of all qualities so desirable in a military officer, which at once sccured the a‘tection and commanded the respect of his subordinates. Iu personal appearance he was the very beau ideal of the soldier. His figure was tall dnd etrongly built, and his carriage dignified and giacoful. As a horse- man be had few if Any equals, and in every respect was possessed of those qualities which render a man an idol with his soldie: He was axsiduous and energetic in the performance of! duties attaching to his position, and Probably to him as muchas to any other map is due what- ever of military bearing and skill our regiments may Mp eocia circles Colonel Webb equal Ip eocial c! lone! Webb was iy prominent, and wag ag accompliehed a genticman a8 bo was gallant in bis profossion. Graceful ia his manners, agreeable and rapid iu his convergation, end geniak and kindly in his relations with all, he secured universal respect. Brief as bas been his career, it has not bsen without service. He was connected prominontly with the Utah expedition, and brought to that mission the valuable re- sults of hig eminent good seuse aud muitary skill. He was also incommand npon the Star of the West when Gred upon from Fort Sumter, and from that time forward worked ardently and devotedly for the cause of the Union. Accomplished as a geuticman, galiant as @ sol- dier, he has died with armor on, sans peur et sans reproche. Captain Gaorcr &. Dunnam died in New Bedford, Mase. on the 28th ult., at the great age of ninety-two years and two months. He belonged to an artilie’y company in the war of 1812, and for many years was its captain. He was distinguished for his military spirit. Tue Witt or Com Jusnce Wiuuams.—Chief Justice Thomas 8.

Resolved. That, inasmuch as it is now probable that the Socratary of the ‘Treasury will be compelled to resort to Gemand notes in payment of government obligations, which notes will largely become the circulating mediuin of the country,and inasmuch as the banks will be pressed to receive them on deposit and in payment of debts; therefore, Resolved, That before we consent to receive such notes, wo must require that such legal provision be made by Congress as shall insure their speedy redemption, and that a committee of this association be appointed to con- sider that subject and report to an adjourned meeting. A majority of the committee make the following report, which has yet to be acted upon:— ‘The special committee appolated on the 28th ult. to consider what course should be pursued by the associated banks of the city of New York rolative to the comand issues of the government respectfully report that tho existing legislation and the measures now before Congress embrace the following facts:— 1. No provision appears to have been made or proposed for funding the first issue of demand notes, limited by the act of the extra session cf Congrees to fifty millions, except that they continue receivable for public dues, 2. A second issue of fifty millions is now proposed in an additional section of tho National Currency bill, to be a legal tender in all parts of the country, to be the samo as coin in all dealings with government, not to be payable at any stated place, to be receivable everywhere for public dues, their issue and reissue by government (£0 your committee read the propcsed section) to terminate when the national currency to be issued by banks and in- | chr 5d Brayton, Mill dividuals shali amount to’one hundred millions of dol- | Sehr A Cooper, Bodine. jas; and being receivable for government stock, these are fundable. 3. Noalteration has been made in the resorve of coin required in the original National Currency bili; but, the se- cond issue of demand notes being a legal tender, these would, it is probably assumed, take the same position as coin in the proposed national banking system, as part of that reserve, and be funded upon the general resumption of specie payments, if not before. ‘These measures contemplate un alteration of the mone- tary standard: they proposo to demouetize gold and sil- ver, and would convert these into merchandise for all gums of five dollars and over; money values or prices of every kind would become subject to the altered standard or iegal tender,and the receiving of this new legal ten- der would become obligatory upon individuals as well as institutions (if constitutional).
