PH LIRS IT E V ENIN D EMB Nit 81 I 44- rt SECOND EDITION. etriening alont LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1846. A superficial glance through the American PRE SIDENT'S Message to Congress will impress the mind of the reader with a feeling not far removed from admiration for its ability. A. careful perusal will, however, very speedily expose its shallowness and divulge its sophistry. It is, from first to last, merely specious declamation. The whole document is essen tially what a black help would call " a make-be lieve." Mr. Por..x has evidently resolved to quash (if possible) the various accusations which have been levelled against his policy. Ile has been termed, almost in so many words, a blusterer; and he persists that his conduct has inva riably been modelled upon the principles of conciliation. With the remembrance of Mr. PAKENUAM'S treat ment fresh in our memory, he says that ! With the recollection of his behaviour towards HERRERA and PAREDES still as vivid as occurrences of yesterday, he says it! He is taxed with being avaricious of ter ritory, and he maintains that the American Govern ment has invariably, during his administration, evinced a magnanimous disinterestedness. Yes. Coahuila is nothing; New Leon is nothing; Tamau lipas is nothing; New Mexico is nothing; Texas is nothing ; California is nothing. Yes : the American Government has evinced a magnanimous disinterested ness ! He is designated a national spendthrift, and he insists that his system of financial economy has amounted almost to parsimony. Almost—and he asks for a fresh loan of 23,000,000 dollars in this same message ! He is styled a promoter of war, and he avows that his heart has invariably yearned for peace ! No matter how unendurable may have been the insolence of his avowed agents at Vera Cruz ; no matter how churlish may have been his military representative at Santa Fe ; no matter how insulting may have been Mr. PoLies own expressions in his preceding Messages—his heart has invariably yearned for peace ! 0 generous con ciliation ! 0 wonderful disinterestedness ! 0 amazing parsimony! 0 unequalled Pacificator! President Polar. is armed with his precedents. He argues the point as a man convinced that it is logi cally demonstrable. President JacKsosf is, in his opinion, an indisputable authority. President JACKSON, in the February of 1837, advo cated war with Mexico. Therefore—President JACKSON being the oracle of justice and truth, and President JACKSON having advocated war with Mexico—war with Mexico was an imperative duty upon the United States. Q. E. D. Mr. POLK would no more hesitate to propound the most impossible syllogism than would the gentleman in the story book, who undertook to prove that a Chesnut horse and a horse-Chesnut were identical. Mr. POLK has no eye for the reductio ad absurdum. The public look for the most candid explanations at his hands, and he gives them the most specious. Take, as an example of thi% his arguments about the Nueces. The Go vernment of Washington, as is well known, insisted that the Nueces were not the western boundary line of Texas. The Government of Mexico, as is equally well known, insisted that they were. And here comes Mr. PoltaE, with atriumphant self-satisfaction, to prove conclusively that the United States were in the right, and the Federal Government of Mexico in the wrong. " Our army," he says, in a tone of sublime victory, had occupied a position at Corpus Christi, west of Nueces, as early as August, 1845, without complaint from any quarter." There's a decisive fact for you! The American battalions had marched beyond the disputed line of demarcation " without complaint from any quarter!" Why, an argument more exqui sitely puerile than this was never penned. The Nueces were passed " without complaint from any quarter !" No wonder there was no com plaint. The Russian Cabinet uttered no complaint when the great army of the Emperor NAPOLEON had passed the boundaries of the Duchy of Warsaw, and was advancing upon Moskowa ; they concentrated their regular troops, and harassed the invaders with clou.ls of Cossacks. When Juraus Ca:sa.o landed upon the Sandwich flats, the an cient Britons never c )mplained ; they mounted their war-chariots and brandished their spears. When CLIVE penetrated into India, lIERNAN CORTEZ into Mexico, JUNOT into Portugal, ROGUE into La Vendee, their opponents never complained ; they mustered all their availahle forces, - and prepared themselves by every means to drive their assailants beyond the frontiers. That was the course adopted by the Mexicans. They 'tarried until the first fitting opportunity pre sented itself for wreaking their vengeance upon those who had disregarded the barrier of the Nueces. Besides which Mexico protested altogether against the occupation of any portion what ever of Texas. The plea upon which Mr. President PoLK has endeavoured to justify his- proceedings towards the neighbouring republic is utterly inadmissible. lie has, in this Message, built up a fabric of arguments apparently of adamantine strength, but really of the moat perishable brittle ness. It may resist the assaults of imbecility and credulity, but it crumbles down at the mere breath of Reason. It is gratifying to turn from the loquacious folly of the bulk of the Message to the sensible and plain-spoken remarks at its conclusion. Upon the Mexican question, Mr. PoLs is as gro tesque and extravagant as any dancing dervish ; upon the free-trade question, he is marvellously staid and respectable. Referring to the recent triumphs over monopoly in the two hemispheres, he observes : " By the simultaneous abandonment of the protective policy by Great Britain and the United States, new and important markets have already been opened for our avicultural and other products ; commerce and navi gation have received a new impulse ; labour and trade have been released from the artificial trammels which have so long fettered them ; and to a great extent re e:procity, in the exchange of commodities, has been in troduced at the name time by both countries, and greatly for the benefit of both." And, beyond this, he remarks, very truthfully, but very ungrammatically, that " it is confidently be lieved that other Powers of Europe will ultimately see the wisdom, if they be not compelled by the pau perism and sufferings of their crowded population, to pursue a similar policy." It must not be overlooked, however, that the Legislature of the United States has not so thoroughly eradicated the abuses of what is miscalled Protection as the Parliament at West minster has done. In England, we have already more freedom of importation and exportation than that enjoyed by the Americans ; and we have, moreover, in England what they have not in America, namely, a prospective guarantee for the realisation of a k a_.r....b hive lopped off the branches of the mercantile Upas, whereas we have torn it up, roots and branches. In two years and a few months its last frag ments will be destroyed, and its existence virtually forgotten. If President POLK only facilitate the in troduction of the full principles of free trade into the American code, he will in some measure expiate his previous conduct. The dispatch which Earl GREY has addressed to the Governor of New Zealand is, unquestionably, a document of great ability and importance. As a colony New Zealand presents features of remarkable interest to the contemplation of the Englishman. It is rendered peculiarly strikir.g by a Consideration of its points of close resemblance to those which are prominent in the British isles. By its geographical and insular, nealthy cli position, by its e . ol_ " Care afforested tracts of land, ew Zealand seems to have been marked out by na ture to fulfil the same glorious destiny in the other hemisphere, which, in our own in particular— not to sFeak of her national triumphs of civilisa tion in more distant parts of the universe—has been so magnificently accomplished by the imperial sway of Great Britain. Dependent as we are for our national supremacy upon the extent and strength of our colonies, the reck less indifference with which the home authorities have at times regarded them, particularly during their infantile state, is highly censurable, and scarcely to be believed. The consequence has been that perplex ing evils of considerable magnitude have sprung up, which could easily have been averted had the mother country paid but ordinary attention to the solemn duties naturally incident to, and coincident with, the assumption of sovereignty over territories either newly discovered or conquered by the sons of civilization. Ce West cue le premier pas qui route ; and had the go vernance of New Zealand, shortly after its attachment to the Crown of these realms, been placed in the hands of men well skilled in national jurisprudence, and properly versed in the principles of our constitution we should have already been reaping the fruits of a gradual, systematic, and felicitous development of the physical resources and the social prosperity of the numerous emigrants to this important colony. Instead of this, we haye throughout only witnessed miserable distractions, and perpetual heartburnings between the governors and the go verned of a kindred race. The truth is, that the Ex ecutive and the Legislature of Great Britain re mained culpably inactive with respect to the welfare of New Zealand, and displayed naught but a sluggish indifference to the establishment of any sound and permanent bodies politic, till the genius and enter prise of the British merchant and capitalist had in vested her with an importance that effectually de manded the zealous attention of the responsible ad visers of the Crown to the growing wants of an ill organized yet rapidly increasing community. When th e home authorities had, by these means, been quickened into action, a petty, piecemeal, and inter meddling spirit was exhibited in the place of any comprehensive, well-digested scheme of colonial ad. ministration. Nothing of vigour pervaded our councils in Downing-street. No bold outlines of policy were traced for extrication from past difficul ties and errors, and for giving stability to the political progress of the English settlers. Contrariwise, our State nurses resorted to timorous, weak, and ineffective measures; ill calculated to dissolve anarchic factions and still the swelling animosities between the aborigines and the emigrants on the one hand, and the Government and the emigrants on the other. In 1840 a charter was granted devoid of symmetrical authority. It hal the negative merit of distributing power between the New Zealand Company and the Colonial Depart ment, so as efficaciously to prevent all harmonious operation for the advantage of the settlers. Anta gonistic forces were ingeniously planned and created with so little of just correspondence to the object in view, that all efficient control for colonial exigencies was placed beyond the reach of either. This unseemly and pernicious state of things was happily put an end to in the last session of learlia ment ; the charter of 1840 was repealed, and an Act passed for the improved government of New Zealand. By virtue of the latter her MAJESTY has just granted a new charter, the precise nature whereof, and the spirit in which it is meant to be carried . into effect, is accurately stated, and elaborately and most ably elucidated, by the instructions contained in the dis patch of Earl GREY, to which we have, in the outset, alluded. As we gave this, and its accompanying docu ments, in extenso, in our columns of the day before yes terday, suffice it, for a summary of them, that the change about to be wrought is a fundamental one ; that it adheres, as closely as circumstances will allow, to the model of our English institutions; that, in one word, it is framed upon the principle of allowing " the settlers to participate much more largely in the business of legislation and local self-government." Independently of the intrinsic value of Lord GREY'S instructions to the colony to which they bear immediate reference, we derive intense satbfaction from the reflection, that there are embodied in them principles of colonial administration of such sound, liberal, and comprehensive significance, that we feel justified in congratulating the country that a new colonial era is auspiciously dawning upon us. To the fruitful topic of discussion—whether the ab original inhabitants of any country are entitled to every portion of its soil beyond what they oc,:tupy, or have been accustomed to use, vast and fertile as the uncultivated remainder may be Earl GREY has addressed his mind with consummate ability, and (as it seems to us) with unequivocal suc cess. But as this is a subject in which it would be futile to expect an unanimous concurrence of opinion, as it is one which, if it had been rightly understood in the first instance by our countrymen in New Zealand, would have saved them from many unhappy and profitless dissensions ; and as it is one of the greatest consequence to some of our existing, and may be to many of our future dependencies, we shall take an early opportunity of giving it a fuller considera tion than could be afforded to it within our present limits. We inserted in our paper of yesterday, in report copied from the Midland Counties Herald, of the proceedings at the annual meeting of the sub scribers to the Birmingham Institution :for the Relief of Deafness. Birmingham is, we believe, the first provincial town in which an institution of this nature has been established, and it is highly gratifying to find that it has been the mean s of benefiting so many deaf persons, who; but for the benefits conferred upon them by this institu tion, must have bt en total!) disqualified for those duties by the due performance of which they are alone enabled to earn " day by day their daily bread." It must be a proud and a gratifying reffiction to Mr. Dur•rox, the talented surgeon of this institution, and to whom Birmingham is indebted for its existence, that he has been The means, under PROVIDENCE, of saving so ' many of his fellow-creatures from poverty and utter destitution. Few provincial towns are so fortunate as to command the services of a DUFTON, but in every provincial town of any size, surely some surgeon is to be found capable of undertaking the management of an institution for the cure of deafness. Let every pro vincial town therefore follow the example of Birming ham and establish such an institution. The expense of establishing and maintaining it will not be great, while the benefits to be derived from it will be incal culable. A letter from Rome of the 18th says : " An excessive cold, accompanied by snow, has suc eeeded here the inundation. The population is the more sensitive to these variations of temperature that is not accustomed to them. A commission has been appointed to distribute aid to those in want of it. The Pope has contributed 2,000 Roman crowns. At one of the late visits of the Pope to the church of the Holy Apostles, the students presented to his Holiness two requests — one, to let the library remain open on Thursuay, the day on which they have most time to study ; and the other, to create two new professorships—of pol Heal economy and L gal me , lcine. Tce Pope at once granted the first, and promised to take the other into conside ration. The first number of the Contemporaneo, a journal destined to promote ideas of pr-gr, ss, made its appearance here on the 12th. It is to appear every Saturday." At Florence, on the 19th, there was a heavy fall of snow, and the ice was so firm that persons were enabled to skate. The Frankfort Journal contains a letter from Ben tin. dated the 21st, which says , "It appears that the rumours reiative to several changes in the constitution of the kingdom, rumours which have been repeated so frequently, will be realise .1 this year to a certain extent. We learn from a good source that the documents relating to these changes are to be published in the beginning of the new year. They relate principally to new enactments concerning the concurrence of the provincial states in financial questions and the vote on the budget, without, how ever, prejudic. , to the royal prerogative. The march of the Central Government will be facilitated by the concurrence of the representaives of the country. A second document, to be also published at the beginning of 1847, is the edict relating to religion. This docu ment is said to be remarkable for the spirit of tolerance which animates our Government with respect to all creeds, without, however, affecting or restricting the dominant religion of the country." The Chambers of the States of Hanover ncR, atb addressed a n eti0. , _4 8 .44 Of the Jews,- and parti ruinarly to abrogate the Impeiial law, passed at Augsburgh in 1571, forbidding Jews to pass to Christians such credits as they might have on other Christians. Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived. The Gaeta publishes the agreement entered into between the Government and the Bank of San Fernando. The substance of this agreement, which consists of above twenty articles, is that the Bank will advance to the Government, in the year 1847, the sums re quired for the public service, to the amount of those which the approaching Cortes shall vote. The 3d article of the convention stipulates, that in addition to 67,000,000 reals thus to be monthly supplied, the payment of the half-year's interest on the Three per Cents., due in June, 1847, shall be secured by the bank. The differences in the Cabinet have been, it is said patched up fur the present. It is rumoured in Madrid that the Carlists are actively stirring in the north and east of Spain. The Heraldo says that all is quiet in Navarre, in the Basque provinces, and in Catalonia, but the Clamor Publico states that large bands of Carlists are scouring the vicinity of Gerona. MADRID BOLSA, DEC. 23.—The Three per Cents. 34, money ; Four and Five per Cents., 21, money ; Debt without Interest, 6i money. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Journal des Debuts publishes the following, which may be considered as the Ministerial pro gramme for the approaching session : "We need not observe that the question which is about to commence on the 11 th of Jrinusry will excite considerable interest. Foreign affairs will form a pro minent figure in it. With respect to internal matters. we see only the question of railroads likely to command the attention of the Chambers. We shall first say a word on this subject. Every one now admits that we en• deavoared to aecomplish too mach at a time. The ques tion will then be asked, whose was that fault?—a ques tine that appears to us to be perfectly idle. We have no self-love engaged in it, and we are quite ready to incur our share of the blame, it fault there be. We shall be in good and numerous company, fur who is there amongst the Opposition, as well as amongst the Ministerial members, who has cot demanded a railroad? For ten years we proceeded too slowly, or rather we did not move. Thanks to the ma neeuvree of political parties, ten years were lost; and when, at last, the Opposition perceived that it was impossible longer to refuse the country a means of civilisation and strength, of which the least progressive Governments began to avail themselves, a general avidity succeeded to languor and inertness. We do not com plain too much of that. That avidity was perhaps necessary in order that the work should be commenced, and it will be at present more easy to regulate and to moderate the movement than it was to give to it the first impulse. Every one, or at least every sensible aid impartial man, admits, further, that if we wish to finish what has been commenced, we must offer the com panies less onerous conditions and more certain advan tages. A year since nothing but enormous profits were seen in conjunction with railroad speculations. These profits assumed incalculable proportions in certain imaginations, and hence it was sought to anticipate and to clip the gains which the companies were to realise. In fact, many adjudications could not take place, the companies not having presented themselves. Each party made its calculations, the profits vanished as if through enchantment, and the conditions terrified the most hardy speculator. The greater number of the railroad com panies are more or less in a suffering state. We do not wish, at present, to enter further into the question ; but it is manifest that something must be done. It may be said, that we are defending the interests of the bankers and capitalists ; but we regard not that. We telieve we are now defending the interests of the public, who require railroads, and railroads well constructed, well maintained, and well served. As to the bankers and capitalists, we never could discover what the public or the Government could gain by rejecting or ruining them. This is the question of internal order which demands an ursent solution, and which will necessarily take its place in the legislative deliberations of this year. We are aware that other questions had been placed on the order of the day during the last session—such as a postal re form, a reduction of the stamp duties, and the salt-tax. We ourselves, a year since, believed that some of those reforms were ripe, and we trusted that the session of 1847 would not pass without an attempt being made to realise what has been so long demanded, and which was so successfully attempted in England—we refer to a postal reform. A bad harvest and the deplorable inun dations of the autumn c-mpel us to abandon that expectatian. Any experiment would be rash. We cannot think of diminishing the public revenue at a moment when the Treasury is called on to pro vide for the disasters caused by the inundations and the dearness of provisions. A fidancial status quo is required by the most ordinary prudence. A crisis exists less pro found, we believe, and less alarming than certain persons are pleased to represent. Still, however, we must not incur the risk of increasing it by attempting any hazard ous project. The best reforms, in order to succeed, re quire to be oppertune. Consequently no reform can be attempted this year. The question of our foreign rela tions remains to be considered We have no need to direct public opinion to their importance. All Europe is still excited by the destruction of Cracow, and every one is aware that the Spanish marriages have caused a dif ference between the French and English Cabinets, which, in fifteen days, will be publicly discussed. The almost simultaneous meeting of the two Parliaments will be a solemn moment. We do not dread it; we rather expect it with impatience. There are certain persons who believe and who hope, perhaps, that those debates will contribute still more to render a rupture between the two countries inevitable, but we believe and trust the contrary. We aro convinced that faCts will gain by being investigated, and that the difficulties will diminish at the tribune, and diet, the real interests of the two countries, the causes and the permanent reasons which tend to bring them together, having only to combat a passing irritation and frivolous dislike, must easily obtain the advantage ! A great ex periment is about to be made on this occasion before the eyes of all Europe. Two Parliaments are eheut to find themselves engaged. The fast has already been proved, that the greatest liberty of discussion is not incom patible with public order. On this occasion it is be tween two Governments and two nations that a debate is about to commence. Shall this discussion be cotnpatible with the maintenance of external peace ? Shall it serve to embitter or to calm the passions ? Shall it demon strate, in favour of absolute Governments, that diplomatic and international questions, in order to arrive at a fortu nate conclusion, must be treated between one Cabinet and another in the shape of official relations ; or, in favour of free nations, that the light of a public discus she is the best mode of concluding the. difficulties which have become envenomed from mystery? We repeat that it is a solemn trial, on which, perhaps, depends the liberty of Europe. We are firmly confident that the result of the trial will be in favour of liberty. A great session is preparing, the greatest, according to all appearance, which we have had during 15 years. Foreign politics will predominate over all other questions. An immense task is imposed upon the illustrious man who tiirects our Foreign DepartmPnt. We answer for it beforehand that he will be found equal to it. With M. Guizot for her Minister, France has not to fear any competitor at the trtbune, nor any rivalry of reasun or of eloquence 1" The announcement in this article, that the state of the revenue is such as to render necessary the post • ponement of all the projected measures of financial reform, and the admission, by the Ministerial organ, of the existence of a financial crisis, have produced a feeling of uneasiness on the Bourse and a great fall in the French funds. The Presse is highly indignant with the English in general, and with Lord PALMERSTON in particular, because the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has not been treated in England after the fashion in which he was treated in France. Surely the personal experience of the KING of the FRENCH ought to have taught him that, whatever may be the custom of his own country men, the English, at all event, show deference and respect to the misfortunes of fallen Princes, and are more punctilious in according to them a reception due to their rank when they are under a cloud, than they are when they visit the shores of England as sovereigns de f ieto. The Courier du Havre announces that the Minister of Finance has signed a contract with the Company Herout and Handell (subject to the ratification of the Chambers) fur the establishment of a service of correspondence betv. een Havre and New York, by means of four steamers furnished by the Govern ment. It is said that the KING of the FRENCH has assured Lord NORMANBY that no allusion shall be made to the Montpensier marriage in the reply to the address of the Corps Diplornatique on New Year's-day. 561 or :e 7135: The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse, on Tuesday, at 80f. 55c. ; the Five per Cents., 1181. 45c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,262 f. 50c ; Rouen, 9231. 75c, • Havre, 6831. 75c.; Great .Northern, 6521.' 50c. ; Avignon, 882 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 6151. ; ;c Troyes 3 a 1,47; Montereau, 3401. ; Bas'e, 2211. 25c.; Paris and Lyons, 5121. von u t. . ,bpati,Al RA/d1094 485 f, : Bordeaux and Cette, Ditto to 9llorneA ic Debt, 32,:!.i KinsEtt.l.Es, DEC. 24.—Marseilles and Avignon, 885 f.; Northern, 645 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 5101.

AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA - .._• • i (EXPW.' - .SS FRO,III A 7 1 URSDAY ANIORNING. _Lye ttoyil - Mail steamer Caledonia, Captain E. G. Lott, with the usual mails and thirty-three passengers, arrived in the River late last night. We have by her New York papers to the 15th, and Boston the 16th inst., her day of sailing. In its summary of news for the steamer, the New York Courier says the Preiident's:Message will have been read by most of your readers. In commenting on its contents, the Courier and Inquirer 'ob serves—The cost of the war is, and is likely to be, according to the estimates of the Message, smaller considerably than was apprehended. The proposition to impose duties on tea and coffee, as a war measure, which was anticipated by our remarks by the last steamer, will doubtless be acceded to by Congress, and will add Pearly three millions of dollars to the revenue. In other respects the tariff will re main untouched. Indeed, at this session of Congress, which terminates, by its own limitation, on the 4th of March, there will not be time for any other than indispensable legislation, and the usual quantum of talking. The deficit in the finances until the close of the financial year in June, 1848, and supposing the war to con tinue until then, is estimated, over and above the receipts from new duties and the old ones, at about nineteen millions of dollars—which it is proposed to borrow for a term of twenty years. This sum, it is estimated, will allow, if the estimates from other sources turn out accurate, a sum of four millions of dollars to remain at all times in the Treasury, as a security against any sudden de mands or unforeseen contingencies. The ex , penditures for the present fiscal year, ending 30th June, 1847, are estimated at fifty-five and one half' million of dollars—the receipts at fifty and one half millions, of which ten millions from 1 , ans treasury note.. Th:: means for the following year, emding 30th Jure, 1848, are estimated at 32,000,000 dolls., of which 28,000,000 dell;. from customs. The 1-x• penditures are e,timuted at 45,781,000 dolls. The deficit of the two years amounts, it will be seen, to about eighteen millions of dollars. This will be diminished by the amount of the new duties that shall be received from tea and a flye; but on the other hand, as the estimated expenditures do not include any extraordinary appro priations except for the military and naval service, whatever beyond this be appropriated, will pro tanto in crease the deficit. " Of the war, there ere no new incidents of special in terest to be narrated. At the date of the 14th ultimo, General Wool's army was quietly encamped at Mon (lova. Saltillo has been taken possession of without resistance by General Worth and his brigade, and Gen. .l'aylor, after leaving garrisons at Monterey and Saltillo, was, it is said by the latest accounts, to the 19th ult., about to march to Tampico, leaving San Luis dc Potosi unapproached. Already a military garrison, from Point Isabel, and from New Orleans, occupied Tampico, of which the unresistPd and bloodless cap; ure by our naval forces, has been heretofore communicated. Concerning General Scott. who left this city some fortnight ago, to take the command in chief of opera. tions in Mexico, there are not yet any tidings, nor is the field of his future operations at all ascertained, al though opinion points out Vera Cruz and the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa as the objects he will first reduce by land operations. From Santa Fe the dates are to the 21st Oct. The city was quiet, and American possession acquiesced in, if not approved. A portion of the .garrison was about to march to the Navijo country, lying between the head waters of the Del Norte and those running to the Pacific, with a view to bring the hostile natives to terms. After 'hat the main body, leaving a sufficient garrison at Santa Fe, are to march on Chihuahua. In commercial affairs there is considerable activity. Cotton, since the last dates from Europe by the Cale donia, to the 19th ult., have steadily advanced both in prices and in demand, while for Bread Stuffs, the prices have d,clieed—but the demand is still great, and very considerable shipments have been made and are making, to Europe ; and more will go forward during the winter and next spring, if prices in Europe shall not recede materially t:urirr the interval. Money is in demand, but not scarce. There is timi dity among the banks, mainly because of the operations of the law which exacts coin in payment of all dues to the United States, and locks it up while in the Treasury. This takes from the banks the command of coin, and of course exposes them, in the event of any sudden calls, to difficulties. Until the law be repealed or suspended, there will be distrust in our Money Market. ! turfou h t i n coin m The modifications proposed to this law by the Secre tary of the Treasury, of using bills of exchange on Eng land, as a means of obtaining coin in Mexico, and of resorting to drafts in remittances of money from point to pint within our own territory, instead of displacing specie each time, will, if sanctioned by Congress , strip it of some of its injurious tendency ; but while the clause remains in force exacting specie for all payments at the Custom,-house, and locked up i oule, whieh spe iti specie is needed, t eded, obe there n be fr u o n m circulation . easiness among business men.

In mercantile circles a more careful perusal of the Message of the Presidrnt of the 'United States has con firmed an Opinion previously entertained that the com mercial policy of the Gevernment of the Republic in laying on taxes upon certain articles which, however, was not likely, in the main, to be of any considerable injury to the British intercourse in a trading point of view, will not be detrimental to the policy of free trade, be cause sugar, coffee, and similar articles may very fairly be taxed to contribute something towards the revenue. The later intelligence from New York received to-day furnishes us with the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and there is sufficient evidence therein of the necessity of raising a new loan, and the difficulty under the specie paying Sub-Treasury Act of being enabled to accomplish it. At a meeting of the Proprietors of the Canada Com pany, held this morning, a continuance of a dividend at at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was resolved upon.
