The following correspoudence between Mr James Gor- don Bennett, Jr., and his Royal Highness Prince Aifred bas been permitted to be published, as the seutiments ex pressed in his Royal Highness’ letter are of ao interest ing character and intended to show the feeling of Eng- land towards the United States:— . MR. BENNETT TO HIS ROYAL HIGUNESS. Orv Cowns, Dec, 31, 1866. Your Roya. Hicuness—At Lord Lennox’s dinner, on Friday last, you were pleased to match your yacht, the Viking, to sail the Henrietta, around the Isle of Wight noxt August for a cup worth one hundred pounds. I could not say so then because I was bound to make the match proposed; but, in fact, this arrangoment will somewhat interfere with the disposition which I had determined to make of my yacht in ¢ase she should win the ocean race, I beg that you will accept as a New Year’s gift to an English yacht- man from an American yacbtman the Henrietta as she now hes in perfect order off Cowes; and I have instruct- ed Captain Samuels to hold her subject to your orders. Tne unbounded hospitality with which the American yachtmen have been received by all classes in England will always be remembered in the United States with the warmest gratitude, and I sincerely hope that you will not-deprive mo, of the opportunity of acknowledg- ing this most cordial reception by presenting the ning yacht to the representative of English yachtmen. I bave the honor to remain, very respectfully, yours, J. G. BENNETT, Jr. PRINCE ALFRED'S REPLY. Crarexce House, Jan. 22, 1867. Dear Mr, Bexxerr—! find it difficult to express how gratefully I appreciate the kindly feeling which dictated your letter of the 3ist ult., as well as tho splendid pres- ent whch you offer to my acceptance, but most of all the delicacy with which youseek to diminish the per- sonal obligation under which you would lay me by giving to your generous offer an international character. It is, indeed, this last. consideration only which has led me to hesitate in replying to your letter; for personally it would have been impossible for me to accept 60 costly & presest, But I felt bound fully to consider the question in the light in which you were good enough to place it; and if, on full consideration I feel compelled to decline your generous offer, I trust that neither you nor your gallant compe- titorr, nor your countrymen at large, will believe that the yachtmen of Englaud less appreciate or less recipro- cate the feeling of good fellowship which prompted the offer. The Henrietta is a vessel which any man may be Proud to possess, and I trust she may long continue in the hands in which she has accomplished so tri- umpbant a success. We must do our best to find a rival to her; and, in common with all Englishmon, I sincerely hope that such friendly rivalry may be the only description of contest in which our ro- spective countries may ever be engaged. It has given us great pleasure to offer a cordial recep- tion to you and your companions in England, and I fect assured that if my professional duties in command of one of her Majesty's ships should ever take me to your shores I should there meet on the part of my brother seamen with a reception not less hearty than that which ‘we have been bappy to afford you here, Believe me yours, sincerely, tALFRED.

Lottie Martin committed suicide at a saloon in Uni by 4OWATHAN OLDBUCK'S WORDS OF SOBERNESS TO THE MEM- BERS OF CONGRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD The Secretary of the Treasury proposes to bring about specie payments by contracting the currency. You will remember that since gold was selling for $2 80 the Sec- rotary bas more than doubled on currency; and in the face of his making currency so rapidly the price of gold has gradually fallen to 185, or more than fifty per cent. Will the Secretary tell us how he can bring down gold to par by contraction, when it falis so rapidly by expan- sion? ‘This is a plain, practical question that demands @ clear and mathematical answer. If expansion brings down gold fifty per cent how much will contraction bring itdown? Will the Trabune, the New York Times or Ez- press answer this question for the Secretary ? The Secretary and Commissioner Wells say “gold and silver are a standard of value.” 1s this true? Does Rot every trader know that supply and demand is the standard of value in market overt? If there are more cattle in the market than there are purchasers, does not the Butcher know that the price of beef must fall? and so of every article that is a subject of purchase and sale among traders. When an article must be sold it is worth to the seller what it will bring. If a farmer wants acow amd cannot swap away a steer or a horse for the cow, then be must sell his steer or horse and buy cow, Here the use of money is manifested. It is no “standard of value,” but a convenient means to assist in the exchange of property. But, says the Secretary, ‘‘we have an irredeemable paper curaency.”’ Is this true? We have nothing in circulation but money. Is money redeemable? Why, at ig the redeemer of all pecuniary. obligations, and 1s not a subject for special redemption, But our legal tender, being money by act of Congress, is redeemed in the way "intended every hour in the day. My creditor is bound to take it from me in pa)ment of my debt, and he thus redeems it from me; and 80, in all business transactions, each buyer and seiler is constantiy redeem- img our legal tender, It is because Congress has coined paper, as it coins gold, and fixed its value, that itis money. Gold is made money by Congress, and so is paper. If.Congress shali declare any other thing money, and “fix its value," it will be money. The Secretary*does not speak truly when he says our legal tender is an ‘‘irredeemable currency.” It is neither pract cally nor theoretically true, The Secretary says ‘‘there is too much money in the country.’’ Is this true? When money is abundant it is very cheap; when scarce it is very dear, This is the only standard, any man complain of having too much? If he bas an excess there are plenty of men who will give Lm good productive property for it. Money Pays no interest; therefore no one will hold it unless be can make more than seven per cent out of its use. Make money scarce and it will be high, This will benefit the money lender, who is a non-producer, Make money plenty and you benefit the money borrower, who is the industrious producer. Who, then, will complain of an easy money market but the non-producing money lender? Is itthe money lender that the Secretary fa- vors The Secretary says that ‘great evils have been pro- duced by the high prices which foreign exchange has brought upon our country.” Is this true? When the late war commenced the Western Siates were indebted to New York more than fifty million that was not coliectable—sincé 1867, Railroad stocks and bonds were incenvertible and of no value to the holders, amounting to more than five hundred millions. The prices of all Western products were so low that but little could be brought to market. As soon as prices advanced so as to pay a profit to our farmers the railroads and canals wete” overrun with freightand travel. The roads were enabled to pay off their debts and mako dividends, which'(gate.e cith value to ait ‘their-bonds and stocks, while the proceeds of the produce enabled the merchants of the West to pay their indabred- mess to New York, and thése ‘ments and this in- ‘creased value: to railroad ‘enabled, our mer- “chaiuts to etand up under {great losses at the South and subscribe largely to‘ the -loans of ‘goverament, If these great benoflis, besides making our farmers rich, are part of the. evils which the Secretary sees in high prices, it is very apparent that the great West will not agree with him, ~The Secretary eays that our new coined money which ‘We call legal tender bas advanced prices, Is this true? ‘What raised the price of flour, pork, &c., in the West when the war commenced? Wag it mot the demand for government use? Did currengg put up the price? Did not the increased d¢mand enable the farmers of the gtem West to get, high prices for their produce through gurwer? Docs the Secretary During thé war and since we have imported more than ‘we exported, énd thus we ran up a debt in Europe, and ‘great dematd sprang up in our sea ports for all ex- portable articles. So that the balance or price of ex- change rose so high that our exporters were able to pay $16 for a barrel of flour in New York and send it to Liverpool and sell it there for $7, and make money by the transaction, adding the present rate of exchange. ‘Thus the rate of exchange on Europe has governed the prices of all exportable articles, and has thus kept up the prices which now rule in our markets, Vv hen exchange shall be at pat (which js 109), the shipper will not be able to pay mére than §6 for flour that he selis in L'ver- pool {or $7. Therefore with the deeline in the price of exchange will be a decline in the price of all kinds of produce that/is now being exported. Is this true? Every merchant who gives bis check to pay for a bill on Europe knows tbat the prices of all exportabte articles, including gold, rise and fall with the price of exchan, Since our government coined paper and tixed its value we have not used gold for banking or mercantile purposes. It has been given ap to commerce and now ranks among our exportable products, It is produced by our laboring population at the rate of nearly eighty. mi - lions per annum. More than sixty millions of this gold has been sent the last year to Europe with our cotion, flour, grain, pork, beef, &c., and when these articles are shipped the merchant draws his bills of ex change against the products, and selis his bills to the importer, who rémits to pay for his purchases. Thos gold has no more control over prices here than any other article exported has, because the importer will pay for a bill of exchanges drawn by a responsible banker, the same price whether the bill is made by a shipment of cotton, pork, flour, &c., or gold, When, therefore, the importing merchant shall decrease his purchases of bills of exchange by ceasing to ‘mportqund exchange shail exceed the demand, then it will drop down to par; then the balance of trade will turn in our favor and bring back gold; thon the current from our mines will mect the retarn current from Europe, and our Sub-Treasury and banks will be surfeited with it. When this time arrives, which is now close upon us, who bat the Secre- tary would prefer the ponderous gold to our convenient fogal under. JONATHAN OLDBUCK, No. 84 Wall street.

In treating his sub- ject the speaker enid that few ersors have been more ones to Christianity than the indefinite application of biblical principles which go often takes the form “cant.” Personal ambition has become more and more the chief motive of action, Many indulge in vague ont- cries against worldly desires and pleasures and accustom themselves to such expressions without thinking whether tuey are wrong or not, Is the merchant hei. | who is prompted to buy and sell, not by the ends of Chris- tinnity, but the profits of his transactions?

KANSAS. QUA LEAVENWORTH CORRESPONDENCE. m tor United States Sonatora— idates Elect—A Thi ah Radical &e. Leavanworts, Jan. 23, 1867. After along and bitter struggle the radical elomens has succeeded in electing two United States Senators from this State. As announced by telegraph, Hon. 8. 0. Pomeroy and Hon. E.G. Ross have been duly chosen. ‘The former is we'l known to the public. The latter waa appointed by Governor Crawford to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Senator Lane until the meet- ing of the Legislature, Ex-Governor Carney was the principal candidate on the conservative republican side. It was asserted by his friends and partially conceded by his opponents that he would certainly be elected for the short term; but the reauit shows that there is nothing certain under the sun. Senator Pomeroy was backed by the owners of the Atchison and Pike’s Peak Railroad, an@ by some of the heaviest capitalists of Boston, to say nothing of the influence of Thad Stevens, Senator Wade and several other prominent men, who sent Congrosxmam Clarke here from Washington to influence the Legisie- ture in favor of Mr, Fomerer. Mr. Clarke made stater ments to this effect in a p speech at Topeka ou hip arrival there. The election of Mr. Ross is generally considered an ao- cident, He isa man of fair ability, and e clean record. This latter item may be considered some- thing for » Kansas politician, Ex-Governor Carney is possessed of immense wealth, acquired in bis business as merchant. Strong influences worked in his favor, but without avail. The secret of. his defeat was simply bis lack of “radicalism.” The world over Kansas politicians are consi in political matters, Still, Kansas people are proud of their radicalism and repreeentatives, This election will have a depressing effect upon Pregl- dent Johnson, whe is said to have taken considerable interest in the matter. It is stated by persons who pro- fess to know that both Senators Ross and Pomeroy favor the impeachment of the President and will use their abil- ities to accomplish that end, Accounts from the Plains state that large bands of Im- dians are on the “war path” and will soon be heard from at some partially protected point, Troops are being or- dered West as rapidly as possible, and it is re} thal Genera!
