The Public Debt of the United States amounted on the Ist August, 1866, in round numbers, to £554,000,000. Of this, £248,000,000 bear interest in coin ; £216,000,000 bear interest in currency ; and £89,000,000 bear no interest at all. The aim of American financiers is to fund this debt, turning it all into what is known as 5-20 Bonds. These bonds at present amount to the prodigious sum of £242,500,000, bearing interest in coin at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. During the war every expedient was resorted to of raising money to meet the enormous expenditure daily incurred—an ex penditure greater beyond all comparison than that of any other nation for a like period. Certificates of indebtedness, quartermaster's vouchers, notes circulating from hand to hand bearing interest, temporary loans, were among these means, which it is now the object of the Government to get rid of, and reduce the debt to the issue of one uniform interest-bearing bonds. All these forms of indebted ness have been extinguished, with the exception of the temporary loan, which will almost immediately be paid off. It will be seen from these figures that the 5-20 bonds hold the chief place of importance in the debt of the United States, although the Seven-thirties, outstanding, amount to £159,790,000 sterling. This debt, being payable in paper, commands no sale in Europe, though the Secretary of the Treasury, believing that green backs will shortly equal gold in value, intends to extinguish this debt, converting it into the 5-20 Bonds. These latter bonds take the form of a certi ficate of indebtedness in these words :—"lt is hereby " certified that the United States of America are indebted unto A. B. or bearer in the sum of $l,OOO, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after the 30th day of April, 1867, and payable on the Ist day of May, 1882, with interest from the Ist day of May, 1862, inclusive, at 6 per cent. per annum, payable on the Ist day of May and November in each year, on the presentation of the proper coupon hereunto annexed. This debt is authorised by Act of Congress approved February 25th, 1862." The debt of the United States reached its maxi mum a year ago. Twenty-five millions sterling have since been paid towards its reduction. During the months of June and July this reduction has been going on at the rate of £lOO,OOO a day. Yet in the month of August the amount of money in the Treasury was over $61,000,000 in gold, and little less than $76,000,000 in paper. These are facts which tend to give great strength to the current of public opinion setting in towards the security of the investment in United States Bonds. The extraordi nary facility possessed by the Secretary of the Trea sury of wiping out all the most objectionable debts, and those which tend most to complicate the accounts and embarrass the Treasury, have been shown by the last official statement we are now dis cussing. The expenditure during the ensuing year will be on a greatly reduced scale, and it is fair to suppose that the revenue will not be less. One formidable item only, passed in the last day of the Session, will tend largely to reduce the probable surplus. If the Soldiers' Bounty Bill be fully car ried out, an eventual expenditure will be incurred of £40,000,000 sterling. The Internal Revenue col lected in the States last year amounted to £62,000,000 sterling, and the Customs duties gave the formid able sum of thirty-six millions. The returns of the incomes on which the tax was levied in the city of Philadelphia alone proved enormous wealth. Similar lists of incomes have been published in other parts of the country, and the fortunes shown to be possessed by some individuals may surprise our European readers. Chief among the wealthy is Alexander T. Stewart, whose income for 1865 was returned at £814,000, on which he paid £81,400 to the tax-collector. James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, and Robert Bonner, of the New York Ledger, each figure for upwards of £31,000 a year. Augustus Ilamenway pays on a revenue of £44,000 per annum realised in a few ventures, whose prodigious returns seem to turned his head, for he is reported as a lunatic. Five per cent. is levied on all incomes over £2,000 per annum, and 3 per cent. on those between £l2O and £2,000, for the income-tax alone. Many persons regard with suspicion the paper currency of the United States. This suspicion is confined wholly to a class who have not shown much resource in managing their own financial matters. The strongest supporters of the English currency system have been the loudest in condemn ing that of the United States, and in exciting doubt as to the ultimate ability or willingness of the people to redeem the vast debts incurred. In the United States, gold, in the fullest sense of the word, has become a mere article of barter—that is, it has taken its proper place with copper, iron, or any other mineral extracted from the soil. The esti mated production of California alone is calculated to reach £ 1 4,000,000 sterling per annum. With such a prodigious export of the precious metal raised in one State there can be little question of the ability of the Government to redeem all its pledges of payments in coin. The derangement of the Cot ton Trade tended mainly to derange the gold currency, diverting our supplies to Eastern coun tries —where the coin was absorbed, and vanished from circulation. With the end of the American War has ended in a great measure this cause of absorption, and the tendency of the precious metals will be to accumulate at the great centres of "commerce. The sure effect of such accumulation will be to bring to the same level the value of the paper currency and gold—when the incontrovert ible greenback will represent the exact amount specified—in the same way as our convertible Bank of England note represents the sum for which it can be changed at the Bank of England. The Go vernment can then, without loss, withdraw from circulation any portion of these greenbacks, substi tuting the metallic currency. The confidence of the public is quite as strong in their currency paper as English confidence in Bank of England notes. The Government have a difficulty in inducing the holders to surrender the compound interest notes in their hands, which they wish to redeem, and they are only obtained by the payment of a high pre mium. In view of all the facts respecting United States Government Bonds there can be little doubt that they present the best investment now extant for those who prefer lending their money on a na tional " promise to pay," than on other securities. The strongest, wealthiest, and most secure nation ; the freest, most contented, and rapidly increasing people; the most religious, civilised, and commer cial community, pledge themselves to this Debt, the bonds of which are now offered on the exchanges of Europe at a moiety of their true value ; and we again repeat that they are worth the most earnest attention of those who have savings to invest.— Anglo-Anierican Times.

TIMES.—In Germany, the other day, a spacious building, which had been constructed for an Ex hibition of the Works of Industry, was converted into an hospital for wounded soldiers, and this as cendancy of the spirit of war over the genius of peace is again illustrated in our country by the debates of the British Association. In the section of Me chanical Science the President fairly confessed that engineering power in the present day was princi pally shown in instruments of destruction, and that the favourite products of modern skill were ships of war and gigantic cannon. Unfortunately, Mr. Hawksley coulcl not say much for the success of British mechanisms in this all-important branch of science. Our ships, he thought, were portentous and costly mistakes, and of our guns he could say nothing better. At this moment, indeed, we can scarcely be said to have any guns at all, for the new 300-pounders, whatever be their merits, have not yet been distributed for service. It is lamentable to confess, but it cannot be denied, that the gene ral opinion of professional authorities on this sub ject coincides with the views expressed by Mr. Hawksley. Guns of the new pattern are not yet forthcoming, and both time and money will be re quired in no stinted measure before the supply can be adjusted to the demand. As to the navy, how ever, while there is undoubtedly only too much to be admitted, there is also something to be ex plained. We have now been engaged for about seven years in the construction of a new navy. It was in 1859 that we first recognised the comparative inutility of wooden ships and the paramount value of ironclads. At that time, however, one nation only was in advance of us. France had launched the Gloire, and set an example which we could not neglect, but even the Americans, the most inventive of all people and least given to routine, had rejected the new system. We had, therefore, only the Gloire to beat, and we beat her with the Warrior : but though, by common consent, we were thus far successful, our effort had been so costly and tedious that it was only once repeated. To the Warrior we added the Black Prince, at an expense of about £700,000 for the pair. It should be remembered that in these days monster guns had not been produced, nor was there much desired in an ironclad except armour and speed. The new frigate represented an old frigate in general design, with the difference of iron plates on her sides. In course of time, but still with hesitation and delay, we closed with a design for an improved vessel of the Warrior class, and thus obtained at length the Minotaur, the Agincourt, and the Northumberland, to which, from a Government yard, was presently added the Achilles. Now, it would be unfair to deny that these six vessels were, and indeed are, the finest ironclads afloat, according to the lights by which they were constructed. For a combination of great swiftness with defensive strength they are still unrivalled. Our next step was taken at the instance of Lord Palmerston, who, justly appre ciating the value of ironclads, and struck with the difficulty of obtaining them, advised the imme diate conversion of some of our old timber ships, so as to stop the gap in our national defences. This suggestion gave us half-a-dozen ironcased frigates, each of which was as good as the Gloire. Omitting mention of the smalle r vesse l s , this is a brief history of our ironclad navy up to the time of Mr. Reed's appointment as Chief Constructor. The results in themselves were not discreditable to us ; but, whereas we had thus turned out only a dozen fighting ships in half a dozen years, while all our. old wooden reserves had been suddenly superseded, it followed that other' nations had made themselves not only relatively but absolutely as strong as we were. Foreign Govern ments had no difficulty in either building or buying' ironclads at the rate of two a year, and this was enough to give them a navy as good as ours—at any rate, in numbers. We do not believe that any foreign ironclads on the broadside model are really as strong or as powerful as our own, but reckoning merely ship for ship it was easy enough for others to keep abreast of us. The only question, therefore, is whether we should not have employed greater energy in building these new vessels, and shown less fastidiousness in the selection of patterns. One nation, and one only, has adopted this policy. The Americans made up their minds upon the question with singular decision. After rejecting the principle of an ironclad force for some years, they were at length so influenced by the action in Hampton Roads that they rushed headlong into the new sys tem. They took the Monitor as their model, and built Monitors as fast as they could. It must also be added that they are perfectly satisfied with the result. They alone, of all the people in the world, possess a navy which in numerical strength is amply sufficient, and which in excellence of pat tern they believe to be unapproachable. Whether we, under similar circumstances, should be equally contented must admit of some doubt. The Ameri cans, however, entertain no doubts on the ques tion. "Mr. Hawksley says of our " floating castles" that every one of them appears " heavier, uglier, more unmanageable, and more useless (except for special applications) than the former one." But these vessels are heavy because the condition of speed involves large tonnage, and because the increasing powerof guns suggests increased thickness of armour plates. They are ugly, no doubt ; but as they are constructed less for ornament than use, wemayleave their beauty out of the question. But it happens that our latest specimens are certainly not more "un manageable" than their predecessors, but the con trary ; and this brings us to the last batch of our ironclad fleet. Mr. Reed has supplied us with the Lord Clyde, the Lord Warden, and the Bellerophon, and it is the especial merit of these ships that they are handier and more manageable than those of the Warrior and Minotaur class, without perhaps being materially inferior in speed. Altogether, unless broadside ships are certainly worse than turret ves sels, our ironclads are probably better than those of any other country. The misfortune is that we have so few of them, and that-the r avy of Great Britain no longer exhibits its old superiority of force and power. A reflection, however, is suggested by a recent ex ample which may contribute a little to our re-assur ance. At the battle of Lissa an old wooden two decker undoubtedly engaged modern ironclads with out disadvantage, and the Austrian officers appear to have formed a conclusion that a wooden ship striking au ironclad fairly with her prow would probably disable her. This axiom would leave scope for the employment of wooden vessels in naval actions, but it must not be too hastily . admitted. Had the Italian ships been skil fully as well as bravely fought, their heavy guns ought to have easily destroyed my un armoured antogonists, but their firing was so wild that the example can hardly be thought to carry much weight with it. At any rate, the con sideration will not furnish us with much excuse for our present position. If we are deficient in new ships, it is not because we believed in our old ships still. We were convinced of the need of iron clads, but we built them so slowly, so distrustfully, at such heavy cost, and after such protracted expe riments, that other governments, with less money but more confidence, succeeded in doing more than we did. ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. The Continent of Europe having accepted the consequences of the battle of Sadowa appears to be settling down to peace. We trust that the Paris Ex hibition will be the herald of a more propitious time than the Great Exhibitions of London. We can well remember how these events were prognos tigated to be the forerunners of universal peace and philanthropy—that nations were to abandon the bloody and unprofitable work of war, and the only rivalry thenceforth was to be in arts, science, and the material progress of the nations. Never were predictions more falsified. Four great wars have since occurred in Europe, besides one successful and one unsuccessful revolution. From Cape Horn to the great lakes of North America and the St. Lawrence, the countries have been the scenes of successive conflicts ; among which, conspicuous in huge proportions, in disastrous results, and in vital interest, have been the great actions fought between the Northern and Southern States of the Union. India from the Khyber Pass to Cape Comorin has been desolated by warfare ; China has seen her Emperor a fugitive from his capital, and his palaces occupied by a foreign foe; while acts too horrible even for the worst rebellions of civilisation have laid waste his provinces and annihilated the cities of his Empire. Regions whose geography is obscure, away in Northern Asia, have furnished battle-fields to Russian troops and Asiatic hordes ; while Southern Africa, New Zealand, and unknown countries have been contending in arms for objects almost inexplicable to the people of Europe. Turn which way we will and we find the science of war fare that most cultivated, and necessarily so, for the very existence of nations seems to hang on their power of holding their own by force. Never were prophecies more belied by results. But we still look forward to the time when artificial boundaries will have disappeared, and peoples being more united in nationalities under strong Governments, will find less cause for appeals to arms, and settle down to a career of more peaceful pursuits. When Prussia will have amalgamated Northern Germany into a great empire, she can have no cause to dis turb the peace of Europe, and it would be a daring nation that gave her a just reason for directing her enormous military force against itself. Italy will be free—France and Russia content—England, the universal meddler, has ceased to interfere—Austria and Spain are powerless—and Turkey sick again, the only source of disquiet. After the conspicuous failures of the Peace Prophets, he would be a bold man who ventures to predict, Still it is patent -- that the progress of the world, although along sanguinary track, has been to w ards a more hopef ul goal. The establishment of Northern GermanY into a Power of the very first class, and of a great and united Italy, are cl ear ly s t e p s i n the right direc tion, and will tend to establish more evenly the balance of power in Europe. The battles between the Northern and Southern States of America had to be fought. The cu rse o f Sl aver y had to be .ex tirpated—the domestic i n stit u ti on w as doomed, an d thousands of lives and millions of property were required to pay the penalty. After a revol ution working results of such extraordinary magnitude, it would be chimerical to imagine that affairs co uld at once assume a peaceful and prosperous issu e * That the North could walk out of the struggle, wash away its traces, put on the garb of peace civilisation, and come fo r th t o th e w orld app a relk . '" as it is, is marvellous i n o ur eyes. Nor can wonder the bitter seeds sown in the South are bear ing such bitter fruits. We cannot believe that 3 struggle fought to the very end can again be re newed on any battle-field, however desperately the contest may be maintained in the political Moderate men will enforce concessions, and l ' e v will have peace solutions of the great questions not splitting the States. Then we feel convinced that the dawn will have commenced of a long period of peace and prosperity to the Union. We agree wlto our French contemporary, Le Pantheon, in these remarks which we translate, and hold that men tlia can so act are not likely to recommence the sense: less and destructive work, which in the first instance was . necessary, for results which can never ga l ' s ' require so awful a sacrifice. " The United Sta te r did . not waste their time in simply glorying ° ve f their military successes. The conquerors e_ a ren!. Richmond, generals, officers, and men, at once, returned to those works which are the soure r ° cl e the power and wealth of the Great Republic.

To judge from appearances, the Anier,l l can department will be a splendid one, and vo" comprise magnificent specimens of all that !a ll be produced by this fruitful, free, and glorioils. country."

The massacre at Memphis was a brutal outrage on a portion of the population who bad fallen under the ban of another portion. It showed a spirit of uncontrollable hatred, of lawlessness, and untamed savagery, but it had not the political significance of the late massacre at New Orleans. At Memphis the negroes fell under the clubs and pistols of their mean white assailants ; at New Orleans the victims aimed at were prominent Republican citizens. It was in fact a renewal of the war, the South being led by its old leaders against their political oppo nents, and with all the venom of a defeated and humiliated body finding itself in the ascendant, and its defenceless foe at its mercy. The Mayor of New Orleans, Major Monroe, is a pardoned rebel. Declaring the Convention which was not elected by the people, but appointed by Northern generals during the war to be an illegal assembly, he de termined to suppress it. The proclamation calling the Convention together was issued by the Gover nor of the State, but the document was so far in complete that neither the signature of the Secretary of State nor the official seal had been affixed. Major Monroe directed the police against this as sembly of almost unarmed gentlemen much in the way he would have stormed a position at the head of his Confederate soldiers. llad soldiers shot down and brutally ill-treated those who surrendered they would have disgraced honourable warfare. In this Union city, however, prominent men, se lected for their known and staunch loyalty, sitting in convention assembled by order of the Governor, were not merely arrested : they were destroyed as mad dogs arc destroyed. Their means of escape cut off, the building surrounded, an indiscriminate fire opened on those that remained, and a cruel death awaiting those that fled. The evidence is clear that the police were foremost in the attack, not to arrest, but to kill. Governor Wells justified . the assembling of the Convention, and declared that the attack made on it originated from a pre-concerted conspiracy, and affidavits have been sworn • to, charging the Mayor and Sheriff with complicity with homicide during the riots. From the account given by Dr. Dostic, one of the desperately wounded Conven tioners, it appears that his injuries were received from the police, himself unarmed, and while vainly en r d h e ll a e vo h u u r r i r n ie g d to a i l n o d ng uc c e o t v h e e r m ed t o w a i t c h ce w p t o u his nd surrender. y‘ ex clamations which greeted him from respectably dressed business men were--" Kill him, the Yankee white nigger ! " Ex-gov.ernor Hahn was shot in the back, and brutally ill-u se d b y the mob while in the hands of the police. A white handkerchief, held out as a signal of surrender, met only derisive jeers, and a general discharge of pistols. So far was the feeling carried, that Mr. Share after being badly wounded, was refused admittance to his hotel on the ground that the other guests would not in habit the house with a black Republican. Those arrested were not the murderers, but the victims who had escaped with their lives. If these be the results of the great Northern victory, we would like to know to what Southern success would have led ? If with such timely warnings before them the Republican party permit these outrages on men whose only crime has been in strongly ad hering to the principles for which they contended, they will deserve the fate in store for them. If they have freed the negroes to hand then over, bound hand and foot, to the tender mercies of such savages, instead of bestowing a boon, and redeeming their land from a curse, they will have decreed the extermination of the race, and have left an ever lasting blot on their own reputation. To soothe down the asperities left by war, and to con ciliate the people conquered in the strife, large concessions might be made, and generous acts of amnesty passed. But to deal with such men as these requires an iron hand and a strong will. The city that fell to Northern arms without firing a shot will not raise its fame by such butcheries, nor will the interests of these States be in any way advanced by the reign of terror they are endeavour ing to establish over the freedmen. Indeed we be lieve that no acts could have more weakened the hands of a friendly President, and knit more firmly the powerful opposition organised against his policy Had the South shown an inclination to meet in a friendly spirit the darling object of the North to bind the States again into one Union, public opinion would gradually have aided the President in his efforts, but the suicidal acts of Memphis and New Orleans will convince men of moderate opinions that Congress is right in its opposition to Mr. Johnson's plan of reconstruction. The waverers throughout the Union will see the necessity of a strong military control over spirits proved to be actuated by such undying hatred, and Congress will be more than ever confirmed in its belief that such men as Major Alonroe are totally unfitted to hold any State or Federal post, though a thousand times pardoned for crimes in which they glory. It is now clearly shown that to place theso men in such posts is simply to give efficient arms to a deadly enemy. No sophistry will be likely to per suade those at whose throats the knives are likely to be aimed of the wisdom of thus arming their ad versaries. If a second civil war is to be avoided, there is one way only of dealing with such cities as Memphis and New Orleans, and that is by crushing out their hatred under the heavy weight of rigorously executed Martial Law.—Anglo-American Times. Henry Ward Beecher " indignantly disavows " the volume of " Pulpit Pungencies," recently issued by Mr. Carleton, and from which we made copious extracts in a late issue of the Home Journal" The celebrated divine calls the book an " unauthorised compilation," and further says :—" Mr. Carleton, without Mr. Beecher's knowledge or consent, has gone through the discourses, selecting on the principle of phrases and catch-words, an d has produced a volume of idioms and singularities, made by violently separating sentences from the context and from their meanings." Some of the "Pungencies " cer tainly sound Spurgeon like. LADVERTISEMENTd—HoIIoway's Pills.—Liver Com plaints and Disorders of the Bowels. —It is impossible to exaggerate the extraordinary virtues of this medicine in the treatment of all affections of the liver or irregularities of the bowels. In cases of depraved and superabundant bile these pills, taken freely, have never been known to fail. In bowel complaints they are equally efficacious, but they should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, th o ugh a gentle or more genial aperient than th ese pills, in moderate doses, has never yet been discovered. If taken according to the printed in structions they not only curd the complaint, but improve the whole system. ;MBER. Monmouth Manchester Autumn 25 Newmarket Ist October 25 Walsall Lanark 2B BER.
