(From the Anglo-American Times.) SenatorShermau,frotn the Committee on Fin Ince, reported a Bill on the 3d February to authorize the fund ing rind consolidation of the National Debt. He proposes $400,000,000 of Ten-Twenties at 5 per cont., $400,000,000 of Fifteen-Thirties at 41 per cent., and $400,000,000 of Twenty-Forties at 4 per cent., all plyaMe half-yearly in coin, exempt from taxation, the interest to b 3 issued at the Treasury of the United States, and at its offices in Lou- dun, Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfort in sterliLg, francs, or tbalers. The secretary is authorized to appoint a ge nt s . _ _ _ _ _ to negotiate such BJuds, to advertise the Loan in such newspapers and journals as be may select, all the expenses not to exceed 1 per cent. of the Bonds. $130,000,000 are to be appropriated out of the duties on imported goods to secure the regular payment of the interest. The Bill appears to us to ba so far an improvement on Mr. Bout well's, that it offers a larger choice to the purchaser. • The hard, harsh easterly gales have delayed the U. S. mails, and the North German Lloyd steamer, with those of Saturday, the sth inst., had not reached us up to mid-day yesterday, but they may before we go to press. Every vessel has been delayed on her homeward trip, and no fault attaches to the steamers, every arrival reporting furious easterly storms. Still the Russia pushed her way, so as to be little, if at all, behind time ; but she probably reached her port before she could experience the full force of the storms. Fortunately, our correspondents furnish their matter by the Wednesday as well as by the Saturday boats, enabling us to get the letters set up as the week progresses, for though this may surprise some of our readers, we do not bring the paper out "full- blown" all at once: A man who sits down to his break- fast with the Times before him gives as little heed to the labour the sheet costs as to the enormous expenditure and organization required to produce the materials placed on his table. The non-arrival of the Saturday mail causes us no light trouble, and forces us to make a rush at the end with other matter after waiting to the last moment. As the mail has arrived thoogh late we summarize the chief items of intelligonce. The Legislature of Georgia having ratified the Fifteenth Amendment its passage is secured, the 28 States necessary being obtained, with Texas, Mississippi, and others in reserve. Louisiana is in financial distress, and, by way of a preliminary for im .proving credit, it was decided at a popular meeting in New Orleans to prevent the payment of the bonds by the State, a newspaper observing "that they should regard all bonds issued by the present Legislature as of no more binding force than if they bore the stamp and seal of a Haytian Congress of human apes." Three hundred and fifty per sons are said to have been killed in a riot at llavannah. In Mexico the revolution is spreading, and several of the States aro in the hands of the insurgents. Ex-Judge Moncrief's death has been announced. The Wash ington Government decline •to recognize the new Haytian Commissioner, and the Provisional regipte, of Saget as the de facto Government of Hayti. Represen tative Bennett has returned from Washington to Buffalo, charge I with obtaining money from the Banks under false pre (3tices. The Conintercial openly asserts frauds to have been committed, but something more than the simple statement. of that paper is necessary before currency can be accorded to such accusations. Judge Hoar called on the Pregident after the rejection of his nomination 'by the Senate, and asked if Grant wished him to resign his place in the Cabinet, to which ha received a strong negative, the President's desire being the very reverse. The later accounts from Red River contradict the story of Riel's arrest. Bishop 'radio has reached Montreal, from Rome, on his way to Red River. Tha San Domingo Bonds are unsaleable in the West Irdies, the belief there being that the Senate will defeat the annexation project of Baez. General Slocum introduced, on the 4th inst., a resolution into the House to authorise the Committee on Military Affairs to• inquire whether a West Point or Anapolis Academy cadetship had been sold by any member of Con gress. A great sensation followed, and the resolution was passed without a division. On the Ist . instant Mr. Schenck, chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, brought in the amended Tariff Bill of the Committee, and moved that it be made the special order from the 10th inst. until disposed of by the Committee of the whole. The Bill would occupy more than two closely printed pages of this paper, and in ifs present state would tend to mislead our English readers. It will bo the subject of - a long and probably stormy debate, a foretaste of which the House had on its introduction. It is probable the Committee fiercely wrangled over its provi sions, and the members exhibit au inclination to carry that wrangle into the House. The Dill was ordered to be printed, with exti a copies for distribut:on, and made the special order for last Tuesday, therefore we suppose the discussion has commenced. The Committee's Bill is a measure rather favouring than adverse 10 Prot,.tion. AltLough it pro poses to reduce pig iron froni $9 to $7 per ton, the duties on manufactured iron and steel are raised. Salt, wool bituminous coal, railroad iron, and hides are untouched, but woollen and co.ton fabrics are slightly reduced. On wines, brandies, lumber and drugs the reauction is consi derable ; also on tea, coffee, cocoa, &c. A provision is introduced exempting from duty paintings and sculptures of American artists residing abroad, but the works must be certified by a Consul or Minister of the United States, endorsing the artist's written declaration. The bill will probably be much changed, if not thrown out, to be re introduced iu some other form, till tho great question of protection to native industry is settled. An absurd mistake was made in the telegram of the 11th of February by the French Cable, "Gene ral" Sherman being represented as introducing a re solution in the Senate in favour of recognising the belligerent rights of the Cuban insurgents. " Se nator" Sherman, of course, was meant, and he fol- lowed it by a long speech. A resolution has been passed in the House, instructing the Committee on Foreign Affairs to inquire what reasons exist why the Cuban Re public should not be recognised as a belligerent. General Banks, the chairman of the Committee, on Wednesday in troduced a resolution giving the President authority, and instructing him to declare the intention of the United States to maintain a strictly impartial neutrality in the contest now existing between Cuba and Spain; also de claring all neutrality laws that may be in conflict with the object of the foregoing to be, in regard to the existing contest between Cuba and Spain, and so long as that con test continues, inoperative, null, and void; on this the Rouse has not yet acted. Senator Ramsay, of Minnesota, proposed in the Senate an inquiry into the expediency of a mediation by the Government of the United States between the Do minion of Canada and the Red River people for the settle ment of the existing difficulties and the establishment of a responsible government in Central British America. After describing the events which led to the insurrection, be submitted resolutions of the Minnesota Legislature, pro testing against the extension of Canadian dominion over the North-west territory by an order in council, without action by the people, and proposing a treaty which shall include the cession of the Red River and Saskatchewan districts, and the construction of a Northern Pacific Rail road, in adjustment of all existing controversies between the respective countries. Unfortunately for Mr. Ramsay and his proposition, the current of events had a sudden turn in the Red River country, whence the report was that the French half• breeds, being much dissatisfied with the course of the insurgent leaderßiel, on account of the strong annex ation tone of his organ, the New Nation, had arrested him, Governor M'Tavish being re-established in his stead. The report is that Riel had left _Fort Garry on a temporary absence, that when on his way back he was met by two armed men nine miles from Fort Garry, and after some resistance he was taken to the Fort, the old regime being reinstated. The Toronto Leader shows M'Dougall's in structions to have been most liberal, differing widely in character from what the Red River settlers supposed ; and if he exceeded his powers he alone is responsible, not the Ottawa Governraent. In his opening speech Sir John Young, who had Prince Arthur on his right hand, alluded to these grave complications as arising from unfortunate misapprehensions. A new Act for the government of the territory was to be introduced, and be hoped for an early solution of the difficulties and the confederacy of the Red River settlements with Canada. Advantage was taken by the Committee on Bank ing and Currency in its inquiry into the gold panic of last September, of the presence of Messrs. A. A. Low and J. S. T. Stranahan, of New York, in Washington on business connected with steamship lines, to hear their version of the affair. Mr. Low believes the gamble to be a spasmodic, speculative fever frequent in Wall-street, occurring without particular cause ; its effect, however, was very disastrous, though he did not thick lasting. He strongly approved selling Treasury surplus gold and purchasing Bonds with the i roceedB. Suppe:4l)g that the Southern and Western members did not inflate the currency now circulating, Mr. Boutweli's policy would soon lead to a resumption of specie payments. General 13utterfleld went through a four hours' examination. His evidence was straightfor ward and favourably impressed the Committee. Mr. Cor bin had nothing to do with his appointment to the N. Y. Secretarysh . p, of which proof could be given if desirod, and he was not aware that Gould and Fisk were carrying any gold for hint until the panic had passed, when he was informed they wore carrying $1,500,000 of gold, which we must confess is not a veiy likely story. William Belden was the next innocent examined, and he, of course, know nothing of this conspiracy to put up gold ; ho did not add that the metal had a buoyant tendency in New York, and required weights to be attached to keep the light and flighty material to earth. He merely went in as a broker and speculator, and ordered the purchase of large amounts without an idea it would go beyond 50. George Opdyke was next examined as one of the firms then "bearing" PRICE / a STAMPED bd. gold, who found themselves on the memorable Friday in a tight place. These Fisk-Gould speculations ho denounced as injurious to trade ; wholly unsettling business interests. Be traced some of the 'evil to the Gold Bank, but more, to bad, bold, unscrupulous men. Secretary Boutwoll informed the Committee that he knew nothing of the conspiracy, except what he saw in the papers and from the numerous telegrams addressed to him; he carefully abstained fr( m having anything to do with Wall-street operations, keep ing his own secrets, and not letting any one know what he was going to do, either in the sale of geld or the purchase of Bonds. Corbin, Gould, and Fisk knew ❑othing more than other people, and all their pretended knnwledge was mere guess-work and speculation. The only person who knew was himself whether geld was to be sold in September or October beyond what was announced officially in the papers. Mr. Stiles, of Pennsylvania, in discussing tho Ap propriation Bill in the House, brought up Fisk's testimony, remarking that the integrity of the President was in volved. Mr. Dawes considered the remarks irrelevant, and was sustained by the Chair; but the Pennsjlvanian continued still to meander on, until the Chair took effectual means for pulling him up, when he asked leave to print his remarks, but, Mr. Washburne objecting, the sapient Stiles crammed all he had to say into ono sentence, ob serving, to the disgust of the House, "that if the charges preferred against the President are true, he is unfit to be the ruler of the people." Dlr. Burt's arrival in New York caused a rise of 3 in Erie common shares and of 4 in preferred, the shares at one time selling at 29. The belief that a genuine move ment against the ring would result in securing justice for the shareholders has brought in buyers. Should this prove true what has often bcien asserted will turn out to be the case, that the Erio shareholders were themselves to blame in permitting their property to be thus mismanaged. We have more than once heard it said that many holders of Erie Stock were ashamed to acknow ledge that they possessed such speculative securities, and refrained, therefore, from having their names recorded, losing, in consequence, their power of voting. Had they all come forward determined to assert their right, and to test the constitutionality of any law in the Supreme Court which infringed their contract, the .Fisk-Gould reign might have been materially shortened, and the State saved the burden and disgrace of what may, in truth, have been permitted by the English shareholders. New books on emigration continue to appear daily. One of the most complete is that just published by Sampson, Low, Son, and Marston, by the well-known writer, Edward Ilepple Hall. It is entitled " The Great West," and professes to . be a guide for emigrants, tra vellers, and miners to the Western States and Territories. It deals with each separately, and aids its readers by a very good map, one of the best. yet published, with the routes all distinctly marked, while the book itself tells the emigrant the means by which he can traverse them, but we will refer hereafter more particularly to the information therein given. A letter from an Englishman in Kansas on the " Homes in the Great West," which op peared in the Oldhain chronicle, has been republished in pamphlet form. "To those who contemplate coming to America," remarks the Englishman in Kansas, "I would emphatically say, try and get apiece cf land, it is cheaper than anything else iu this country ;" but we would empha tically say, go and choose ,it yourself ; if it is so cheap, you need be in no such hurry to buy, for there is plenty of it. Kansas 's all the Englishman repiesents it to be, and more, too ; and although we (. he writer) have not been in the State, our study of the question lea is us to believe that the Valley of the Kansas is about the best location fir settlement now open in the United States for the ordinary emigrant. We may, however, observe that Colorado be gins to be the grand attraction of emigrants. Governor M'Cook, in his recent message to the Territorial Legisla ture, said that he bad received communications from three German colonies—one containing 40 families, and the other two with over 200 families in each —declaring their intention to emigrate to the territory next spring, and that he was constantly in receipt of letters asking for informa tion about the country; he therefore wishes preparations to be made for their reception, and reliable statistics to be published of the country. A Mr. Bergiund, of Sweden, has sent out to Walter Valley, in Mississippi, 200 Swedes to people a plantation and carry on some industrial enterprises, and these aro but the pioneers of nearly 1,000 others, who are to proceed there this spring. While we know that emigrants who choose to settle on the fertile lands of the Great West can secure an abundance for themselves and their families by work, labour is not at this moment in great demand in tho United States, and the tendency of wages is downwards. There are said to be 7,000 men out of employment even in San Francisco, and in all the recent :AA ikes the employers have b. en successful, as the number of the unemployed is so large that they have little difficulty iu filling up the vacant places. Immigrants continue to pour in, adding to the glut; still the position is not FO bad as represented in England, as may be seen from the following semi-monthly report of the Castle Garden Labour Exchange, New York, from Jan. 16th to 31st (13 working days) :—" Applicants for employment—Males, 491; females, 410. Orders of em ployers for labourers—Males, 402; females, 420. Persons employed—Males, 354 ; females, 361. Among these were three families, comprising six persons. Discharged from Ward's Island and provided with employment, five ; aver age number of applicants, 69 per day ; average number of orders, 63 per day; average number of engagements, 55 per day; average rate of monthly wages paid to males, $9 50; average rate of monthly wages paid to females, $9. Males—mechanical labour, 145 ; agricultural labour, 209. Females —Skilled labour, 6 ; unskilled labour, .355. Males able to read and write, 309 ; males not able to read and write, 49. Females able to read and write, 244; females not able to read and write, 119. As if to increase the want of employment Mr. Dawes's attack from his place in the House of Represen tatives on the Executive has come opportunely. It was in compliance with the resolutions of Congress, and in com munication with leading members, that the estimates were framed; but the House now appears to sanction what Mr. Dawes advanced, and the Government taking its cue there from have cut down the estimates considerably. From the navy yards alone 6,000 men were thrown out of employment, and Mr. Cragin, Chairman of the Senate Naval Committee, was induced to bring forward a joint resolution to transfer an 'unexpended balance of $4,000,000 from several bureaux in the Navy Department, to the bureau of construction, repairs, and steam engineering, expressly to find employment for the discharged. It is claimed by some, that Mr. Dawes acted in conjunction with the President and in compliance with his directions, as he was desirous of bringing up the heads of the Departments with a round turn. But this is a mere idle rumour, circu - lilted to disseminate distrust, for all who know Gen. Grant are aware that, however desirous of enforcing the strictest economy, he would do so in a legitimate way through his own Cabinet, not by working in secret against them with an outsider. The Thompson collection of pictures has been opened for the inspection of artists, amateurs, and editors previous to its sale by auction. It contains more than 2,000 paint ings, collected during 18 years' labour. Mr. Thos. Thomp son, who died in Ne w York nearly a year ago, inherited the taste of his father, who was a picture collector, and by 1852 he had expended 590,000, losing all in that year by a fire in Boston. He then set to work indefatigably and ob tained the collection now under the hammer in New York. He is said to rave had a fair judgment ; to have studied art, and to have been well acquainted with artists ; but the col lection itself does not indicate this. His Bierstadts, con sidering that the artist is now living in the State of New York, ought surely not to be in the doubtful position they are. If pictures by Bierstadt were seen for the first time by Bierstadt when he entered this gallery to look at his own works, whose are the Titians and Reubens ? the Cupys, Claudes, Gainsboroughs, Lawrences, and the Reynolds? For many certainly are not the works of the masters to whom they are ascribed. As Bierstadt was likely to pay the gallery a visit, and to throw doubt on the whole by declaring that he had not painted the pictures credited to him, several were entered as " supposed to be his." This is just what Bierstadt has done, for a pro test from him has been published in the daily papers against the unwarrantable use of his name in the catalogue, he never having seen certain pictures attributed to him ; while he is held responsible for a statement that such a collection could not now be made for half a million dollars. A few of his earliest sketches, before he thought of becom ing an artist, had been bought by Mr. Thompson, and some criticisms on the paintings describe them as crude, cold, flat, giving no promise of future celebrity. Bierstadt says he was invited by a banker to inspect a picture by Biers tadt the Banker had bought at auction, and adds that he saw it for the • first time at that gentleman's house. In justice, however, to the collection we must add ttat, a strong denial from the auctioneers, Leeds and Miner, was published in reply, asserting that Bierstadt had not only visited the gallery, but had taken away four of his pictures and offered two of his later works for the rest ; tiatt lie had given his personal assistance in correcting the catalogue. And they offer to show bills of cost of the paintings bought as the works of Mr. Bierstadt, wherein the artist displayed a sharpness wholly wanting in penning the letter to which they theu replied. "Itis a strange forgetfulness," as the auctioneers term it, if the facts be as they represent then,.

The first subject on the list for consideration on Wed nesday was a detailed report which had been prepared on the Merchant Shipping an d N av i gat i on Bill. Mr. J. HALL, of Newcastle, proposed that a periodical inspection of all sailing ships and ships not carrying passengers, unclassed at Lloyd' s or by the Liverpo o l Underwriter's Association, should be compulsory. Secondly, that in consequence of the frequent losses of Bailing and stearn-shipe from the practice of overloading., the Associated Chambers are of opinion that the atten tion.of the Government should be drawn to this subject, and that it should be invited to take into consideration whether the bill should not contain provisions for deter mining the maximum load and use of. sailing and steam ships. Mr. W. S. DAGLISH seconded the resolution. Beth mover and seconder alluded to the many instances in which the underwriters had refused to pay when ,asualties had occurred to vessels resulting from over loading. Mr. DARNTON LUPTON, of Leeds, moved, as an amend ment, that this bill should provide means for obtaining authorised judicial surveys in all cases where any ship puts into any harbour or place i n th e U n it e d Ki ng d om or British colonies in distress, or in an alleged unseaworthy condition. Mr. MOORE, of Plymouth, seconded the resolution. Mr. NORWOOD, M. P. for Hull, said he was a member or Lloyd's, and had had considerabl e work in the matter of merchant shipping bills since he had obtained a Er.blic status. He admitted that there might be some few instances of overloading, but he denied the existence of such a state of things as that mentioned by Mr. Hall. The shipowner was responsible for the proper condition of his ships. By the common law no man was entitled to receive a cargo without giving an implied warrantry that the ship was fit for the voyage. They might fix a load line if they could, but this was a matter that could not be fielded by any Chamber of Commerce, for the difference between two ships that carried a dead weight was so con siderable as to render that impossible. He supported the amendment. Mr. MAXTED, of Hull, Mr. MORRIS, of Halifax, and Mr. ROCKETT, of Goole, supported the amendment. Mr. FENWICK, as representing Lloyd's, said the atten tion of that firm had been frequently given to the conside ration of cases in which the underwriters had refused to pay the insurance on vessels overladen. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Headlam, Mr. king, of Plymouth, and Mr. Boyle, of Cardiff, took part, the amendment was carried by a majority of 20 to 15. INTERNATIONAL AVERAGE. A resolution was carried that her Majesty's Government be memorialised in favour of adopting measures to carry out the rules for international general average, as agreed to at the Social Science Congress at York in 1865.

WEST INDIA MAIL ACCELERATION. - - This subject was referred from a special meeting at Bir mingham to the present meeting. Mr. HICKS, of Plymouth, proposed the following resolu tion :—" That in order fully to develope the advantages of the adoption of a western port for foreign mails service, it is desirable that the West Indian and other mails, should be embarked, as well as landed, at such port, and that this association respectfully invites the attention of Her Majesty's Government to the carrying out this system at the earliest period." Mr. WRIGHT, of Birmingham, seconded the motion. After some discussion, an amendment, proposed by , Mr. Price, of Gloucester, referring the GlOnsideration of th© question to a committee of the House of Commons, was seconded by Mr. Ea.stwick, M.P. for Falmouth, and carried. ABOLITION OF LIGHT DUES ON SHIPPING. On the motion of Mr. ALHUSEN, of Newcastle, seconded by Mr. Glover, of Hull, a resolution that the Associated Chambers again urge upon the attention of the Government the desirability and economical advantages of charging light dues upon the public revenue, was car ried without discussion. TRANSMISSION OF MONEY AND OTHER VALUABLES BY POST. A resolution was proposed by Mr. Bretton, of Sheffield, that in order to give the public positive security in the transmission of money and other valuables through the post, a system should be established by which upon pay ment of a fee proportionate to the declared value of a letter or parcel the post office should guarantee its safe delivery, and indemnify the sender in case of loss. Mr. WHITWELL, of Bristol seconded the resolution, which was carried. THE INCOME TAX. Mr. J. 0. L. SEATON, o f Hull, proposed the following resolution :—" That the tax on trades and professidns being impolitic in principle, incapable of realization even approx imately with equity, and being most vexatious and offensive in its operation, is a tax which should only be resorted to in cases of great urgency, and ought now to bo repealed." The mover of the resolution contended that the tax upon trades and professions was impolitic in principle, and forcibly pointed out the operation of the tax in support of his observations. Ho maintained that property engaged in trade cou ld no t b e capitalised, and sho u ld b e wholly unfettered. Above all things there was a reticence on the part of . persons engaged in trade, which precluded them from giving an account of their private affairs, for secresy was the very soul of business which led to individual success. Large firms were in the habit of telegraphing at this mo ment in cipher, and a clerk would be immediately dismissed by his employers where he to divulge the secrets of the firm. After denouncing the tax in strong language, Mr. Seaton said the title assumed by a certain volunteer regiment on its formation might be adopted as equally applicable to this tax, that title was " The Devil's Own." (Laughter.) Mr. KING, of Plymouth, seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. ALLHUSEN, of Newcastle. Mr. WHITWELL, of Bristol ? said he sympathised with the resolution, but had been instructed to put the follow ing r,:solution of his own Chamber as an amendment : " That the income tax, as at present imposed, is unequi table in its operations, and. this Association desires to re new its protest against, the charge being the same on fluctuating and terminable incomes as on income derived from fixed or funded property." Mr. J. S. WEIGHT, of Birmingham, seconded the amendment. The original resolution was carried by a majority of 'twenty to twelve. Thi s , h owever, was no t sufficient to enable the Associated Chambers to take action in the matter, a majority of two-thirds being required, but indi vidual chambers are not precluded from so doing. INEQUALITIFB OF RAILWAY RATES. WRIGHT, of Birmingham, moved " that the ine qualities in the railway rates for the carriage of goods are such as to inflict great loss on many districts, and that the absence of all competition, especially where canals have been brou g ht un d er t h e control of -Railway Companies, renders necessary some supervision of the rates allowed by law, and that no arrangement with other companies ought to be permitted, except with the sanction of the Board of Trade." ----- Mr. D. Houma, of the Staffordshire Potteries, seconded the motion, which was carried. TRANSMISSION OF TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGES. Mr. TAYLOR proposed, and Mr, STEBBINGE3, of South. ampton, seconded, that the Association bring before the notice of Government the quostion of transmitting tele• graphic messages by automatic apparatus, and of allowing messages to be prepared by the senders for transmission at a reduced price as compared with ordinary messages.", —The meeting adjourned until this morning.
