In the vexation of defeat, t o , e xclaim that to prorogue the Parliament is to insult V neo ple. This is idle vapong, which may please th e 'moment the violent and the shallow, but conside I r u ate a m en must regard it as absurd. , All insult depends opou intention. Does any one,believe that, in proroguing the Parliament, and taking time to consider what, mea woes are most fit for the country in its present state, there is any wish to treat the public with contempt or Aect ? No one can seriously hold such an opinion. P e ' • •s such wo rd which has fallen from the new Premier tcon vslictel) h a rash and unfounded judgment."—As far mere words go, Sir Robert Peel certainly evinces as , at s ympathy with the people.; but his deeds are in sirect contradiction to his words. His speedy prorogation of Parliament is a deliberate insult to the country, and his smoo th, honied words only aggravate that insult. The Herald says :---" Dr. Bowring, on moving for potcorrespondence between the Home-office and r-law Commissioners on the subject of distress the , with the Report of the Assistant-Commis inior,ile°ristenni't by her Majesty's Government to inquire into :eed cases a destitution and death, which had been -referred to in the debates of the present Session ; ad „Wiled that some discrepancies had found their way into ei l s ow n former statements on this subject in the HouSe. Day wa s mildly . rebuked by Sir James Graham—Sir James holding out this case as one which should . ope rate warning to Hon. Members to assure theniselves as oft h e correctness of their information before hazard .o, statements ' as distressing as they were exciting.' this precautionary suggestion was well illustrated by .- ir Robert Peel's lecture to the Hon. Members for port, Ashton, and Manchester, on the subject of their exa ggerated allegations on a former night, touch e the extensive prevalence of the extremest degree of in'nufacturing distress. The Premier took ' a short '''' ' With these ' prophet's of evil.' He proved, by re ivilYeee to official papers and other documents of unques ere • a ble weight , that their assertions had been c arr i ed tl°°: unc onscionably beyond any extent to which the Totsest• really went." w e quote the following from the Chronicle :—" BY _.hat right was it ever assumed that Sir Robert Peel and ~r J a mes Grahani would depart from the principle of ✓ th ' e ne w Poor-law ? What positive encouragement or or ed sanction have theafforded to that assumon? 1 0 „e e Times has taken it fort' ranted. The Times has be .CL'ime s pe . nsor for the implied fact to the public. The A mes stirred up a formidable mass of discontent against the t a te Government by its unauthorized iterations. he Times helped to win elections for the Peel --`. d Graham Ministry by its popular mode of Ludes this topic. The Times has enlisted multi tedes O f recruits for the Tory ranks by the promised boo ty of Poor-law repeal ,_. and: now it stands like a the sergeant, a convicted:crimp and imposter, under t h e reprimand of the commissioned officers of the corps At i e h it was so eager to 'strengthen. What has the riffle s to complain of ? It should leave anger to those is " . , h o have been duped by its own false pretences. How false these pretences were, may be judged from the•con . • pessions Which, in its wrath, are suffered to escape. The ae l4e e n t . laudations of Sir James Graham, the unbounded Admiration of all the new appeintments, the confidence , bat swallowed up all other considerations, were, as it I no , a ppears, all sheer delusion upon the public. They were huitibug for party purposes. The Times was in a -very different state of heeling from 'that indicated by its . 9f ' Ipgj a W • , 0 • Dr reference to the speedy prorogation of. Parliament, 11 V lii, Dewy _Reporter says :—" For five months the coun a•iii.s• i s tO,be left in happy ignorance of the policy of the o ' e d w 31iitistry. The merchant may hesitate in his traf ; the agriculturist pause in his operations ; and, worse an all, the millions, whose comforts are destroyed by • restricted trade and high-priced food, may toil through the inclemency of winter, with no defined prospect of a more propitious sun dawning on the year that is to follow the The wretchedness of the expiring one." Sherburne .Tournal observesl—" The Parliament is to be abruptly prorogued, and five winter months are t o be passed over without the • slightest chance, or the imoat distant hope given, of any improvement or allevia earl. The act involves a fearful responsibility. We be lieve that for ,this Sir Rebert Peel. is not entirely :to blame ; the unhappy prospect arises out of difficulties he could not prevent, except by refraining from .' v eit ui llic u h g to his aid the Duke of Buckingham, Sir Edward Kiistchbull, and Sir James Graham." The following is from the Inverness Courier :—" There is, perhaps, something undignified in a statesman pro claiming that he has to seek for information to form his much opinions and shape his plans. Sir Robert Peel is too the man of circumstances and expediency:; but con sidering the manifold.evils .of rash legislation, and tam mine- withmisc the commerce of the country (by which in xet-deurable hief might be inflicted), we should feel far more disposed to grant delay than to hurry on igno rant and h as ty measures. Th e .Dublin Pilot, in an article on the subject of the prorog a ti o n, remarks as follows :—" Everything post poneduntil next Session—that astonishing Session which es to deyelope a depth of resource, and a remedy for exi- gencies in the Premier—which is to put, him at the head of all possible Heaven-born Alini.sters. What is going on ? Trade continues its gallop to other shores, and a destitute population are doomed to pass through a shivering winter in still greater destitution." AGUICuLTur-em.

Kinmel Park, the residence of Lord Dinorben, was burnt to the ground on Tuesday night, and is now a heap of ruins, the outside walls only standing. The library, jewels, papers, and a good deal of furniture were saved. Fortunately no lives were lost, though several persons, and more especially Lady Dinorben herself, - were in imminent danger from the rapidity with which the flames extended. We understand that the new day-mail between. Lo ndon and Brighton, will be put on the rail Way almost immediately. Lord Morpeth, previous to leaving Ireland, transmitted ' to the Commissioners of the Board of Education 1,000/. to be expended in promoting the system in that country. In Ireland the Liberal party are displaying great 'energy in making preparations for the October regis tries. In many counties Local Associations for that purpose have been established or revived. The Commissioners of the Metropolis Roads perse vere in not lighting the roads within their jurisdiction. On Wednesday night, the whole of the metropolis roads west of Hyde Park-corner were in complete darkness. The caisson on which the light-house on the Good win Sands is to be constructed is completed, but it will not be, towed to the: North Calepar Head, the place of its destination, until the spring tide of the October new moon, about a fortnight hence.

The barque Annandale has brought the sum of 56,0001. in specie, for the use of the Colonial Bank.

As we stated yesterday the delay in the announce ment of the Brazilian Dividends was not attributable to the new EnVoy from the Brazils, Senor Lisboa, but to his predecessor, Senor Montezuma. In fact, Senor Lisboa was not duly accredited to this Court until 'Wednesday, and he could not there fore act ; but when once acknowledged his first public act of his Ministry was to announce the pay ment of the Dividends. Thi4 is the best, because it is the true answer to the vapourings of the Times, Post, and Herald, against the new Brazilian Envoy. We perceive that some of these are voluntary praises and excuses for S. Montezuna, and perhaps he requires them all. All are anxiously expecting the delivery of the letters by the Halifax steamer.

The Westminster Harmonic Society gave a grand con cert of Sacred Music, last evening, at the Temperance Hall, Broadway, Westminster. This is one of those Societies which hare been formed of late years for the cultivation of choral music, and which are destined to form a prominent feature in the future history of music in England. If a taste for fine and clas • sical music is ever to: be regenerated amongst us— if we are hereafter destined to attain, and to maintain the same high rank in music we have already attained in ether liberal arts—it must be mainly through the in strumentality of such Societies as these. Sincerely, therefore, do we rejoice to record their triumphs—cor dially do we bid them " God speed," and fain would we see a Choral Society established in every town and vil lage of the empire. The concert of last evening con sisted of a grand selection from the oratorios of the Messiah and Judas Maccabeus, the solo pas sage* being given by professional vocalists, one of whom, Miss Cubitt, was in excellent voice, and sang with exqUisite taste and expression, while the choruses were sustained by the members of the Society. The manner in •,%hich the choruses were given reflects the highest credit upon the Westminster Harmonic-Society. There was a firmness and precision exhibited which is not often met with even in the regularly trained chorus of our public esta blishments. It was , evidently a labour of love—every one who took . part in it had become imbued with the spirit of the sublime Master. Each thoroughly appre ciated the composition as a whole, and the consequence was that all the choral effects were completely under stood, and as completely developed. We have never heard the grand Hallelujah chorus better given. The orchestra, which was full and efficient, was ably led by Mr. Pringle, and the concert was conducted by Mr. Webb. This gentleman would be an excellent conductor if he would break himself of the evil habit which he has contracted of slapping his baton audibly upon his book at the conclusion of every bar. This mars the effect of the finest passages, and the Westminster Harmonic "Society is composed f those who are far too good musicians to stand in need of such auctioneer-like practices to keep them to their time. We sincerely con gratulate the members of the *Westminster Harmonic So ciety on their triumph of last evening, and hope to have the pleasing duty of recording many a similar one. The audience was numerous, and, we are glad to say, most . attentive.

On Thursday, agreeably to ancient custom, the newlj elected Sheriff's for the City of London and county of Middleex, were presented in the Court of Exchequer fur her Majesty's approval. The Civic procession, composed of the Lord Mayor, Alderman Gibbs, Alderman John Johnson, Alderman Lainson, Sir Chapman Marshall, the Recorder, the past and present Sheriff's, accompanied by the officers of the Corporation, arrived at Westminster Hall shortly before three o'clock, and immediately proceedetbto' the Court of Exchequer. The CURSITOR BARON (Geo. Ban!cesiEsq.), having taking his seat on the Bench, f The RECORDER said—Mr. Baron Bankes,l have the honour to present in this Court for her Majesty's appro bation, Mr. Alderman Magnay and Alexander Rogers, Esq., who have been elected by the unanimous voice of their fellow-citizens to fill the high and important offices of Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Middlesex for the year ensuing. The Livery, my Lord, actuated by a sin cere desire to promote the public welfare and advance the common weal of the City of London, have selected the two gentlemen present to fill the office of Sheriff's ; the individuals so selected are in every respect eminently qualified to carry out the views of their fella w• citizens, and promote their true interests. As regarded the late Sheriffs, their year of office was ended. They had abund antly fulfilled all the expectations that were formed of them, and they now retired with the thanks and best wishes of their fellow-citizens. After some further ob servations, the Recorder said it now remains my duty to ask fur her Majesty's approval of the gentlemen who have been appointed Sheriffs of London for the year ensuing. Mr. Baron BANKES said—Mr. Recorder, on behalf of her Majesty I am authorised to acknowledge and ap prove in the fullest manner of the gentlemen whom the livery have elected to be Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Middlesex for the ensuing year. I am commanded further to recognise and confirm in the most ample . Ma nner the rights and privileges of the citizens ofLondon. I am fully aware of the antiquity of those rights gel privileges—they are nearly cotemporary with the char ter of English.rights, and they have uniformly 7been ex ercised in a manner not only beneficial to the city of London but to the interests of' the 'country at large. After a few complimentary remarks, on the satisfactory and praiseworthy mannerin - which the late Sheriffs went through their year of office, the Learned Baron said, " I will not detain you longer; but conclude with congratu lating the Livery on the choice they have made, and ex press a hope, a sincere prayer, for the health, happiness, and success of the citizens of London." Mr. Alderman GIBBS, the senior • Alderman present who has not passed the chair, then came forward and chopped two bundles of sticks, counted six horseshoes, and sixty-one hob-nails, by virtue of which service the .Corporation hold certain estates in Shropshire. The RECORDER, in the name of the Sheriffs, then in vited the Learned Baron to the inauguration banquet, at the Albion Tavern, which his Lordship accepted, and ,he officers of the Corporation retired. - THE INAUGURATION BANQUET OF THE SHERIFFS ELECT. Mr. Alderman Magnay and Mr. Rqgqrs gave a ban quet last evening, at the Albion Tavern, in celebration of their inauguration as Sheriffs for the ensuing year. About 170 Gentlemen sat down at dinner. Mr. Alderman MAGNAY presided in the absence of the Lord Mayor, who was prevented from taking the chair by indisposition. The Chairman was supported by Mr. Sheriff Rogers Lord Dudley Stuart, the Recorder, Sir John Key, Sir George Carroll, Mr. Masterman, M.P., Aldermen Lucas, Gibbs, and the late Sheriffs Evans and Wheelton. . The band of the Artillery Company was stationed in the music gallery, and during dinner performed airs from Le Nozze di Figaro, Sonnambub, and many other ad mired operas. The cloth having been removed, the professional gen tlemen, Messrs. Hawes, Hobbs, Fitzwilliam, Hawkins, Atkins, and Calvert, sung the Benedictus. The usual loyal toasts, and those fitting to the occa sion, followed in quick succession, and were drunk with all the honours. The banquet was altogether -of a very recherche character, and evidenced that no expense had been spared by the worthy hosts, in providing for the comfort of their guests, and supporting the dignity of the office to which they had been elected. We cannot praise too highly the wines and viands. The character of the Albion Tavern was !fully sustained ; they were in all-re spects excellent. To particularise the goodness of any one thing would be invidious where all were so good. The company separated shortly before midnight. THE WEA'II-LER.--NooN, OCTOBER 1.

Repiciu is remarkable for igno- *, rance and impudence. Of the latter quality we gaye a , choice specimen on Tuesday. That journal boldly recom mends more palaces, to, promote the -public .happiness. Of the, former quality the first page,of the journal supplies : as striking a proof, as this is of its. impudence. When a lecturer reads or delivers a lecture, he requires but one book, and his single voice reads for all the auditory. In a great majority of cases the lecturer reads better and more impressively than any one of his auditors, and certainly far better than the greater number of them. The dis course is more impressive than individual reading ; it serves for all who hear, and no, copies more than one is required. Lecturing, then, is a great means of saving time and mom* and of obtaining an improved instruc tion. The Quarterly Review is, however, ignorant of these effects, and therefore concludes that lecturing, to be beneficial, should be confined to lectures on subjects requiring the exhibition of plans, diagrams, models, specimens, or experiments. We are at a loss which most to admire—the impudence, or the self-conceited ignorance of the Quarterly. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A YOUNG FE MALE—On Wednesday at twelve o'clock an inquest was held before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., Coroner, and a Jury, at the sign of the Old Greyhound, Fulham-fields, on view of the body of Mary Welch, a fine-looking young woman, 23 years of age. It appeared that the deceased was the wife of a labouring man named Richard Welch, residing at the above house, and was near her confinement with her first child. For some months she had been suffering from a bad leg, and, on the afternoon of Saturday last, between' five and six o'clock, she was dressing .her leg in the presence of some of her friends, and pulled off the bandage for the purpose of applying some ointment, when ,the contents of the wound came away with it, and the wound began to bleed profusely. The persons in the house tried every means in their power to stop the haemorrhage, but without effect; when, finding the deceased had fallen into a fainting fit, they sent for a surgeon, but before his arrival the deceased had bled to death, having ruptured one of the smeller vessels of the leg. The Coroner said it was a great pity it was not more generally known, that in all cases of bursting blood-vessels in the extremities, instead of per sons being seated in chairs they ought to be laid on the floor ; and had that course been adopted in the instance of the, deceased, herrlife might probably have been saved. Verdict--" Bled to death from the rupture of a blood-vessel in the leg." - Most of our readers are not, perhaps, aware that it is contrary to law in France to take even a pitcher of water from the sea, lest it should be evaporated for the sake of gaining an ounce or so of salt, and avoiding the payment of.the salt-ditty.

RESIGNATION OF THE CABINLT. VJERPOOL, TIIURSDAI EVENING. By the arrival of the fine steamer Britannia. Capt. Cleland, of Cunard's line of Royal mail steam-ships, between this port and Boston,which arrived here this evening, we have received pa pers to.the ditc of her sailing, which comprise New York of 15th, Boston of 16th, and Halifax 18th ult. The Britannia experienced a very stormy passage, and has been out twelve days frOM Httlifitx. She brought 26 passengers. We have much news by this arrival. Presi dent . Tyler had vetoed the second Bank Bill, stating. his reasons at length, in a message to Congress on the ath. A resignation of the offices of those .who had hitherto acted with him, with thesole exception of Mr. Daniel Webster, took place immediately, and the extra Session of Con gress was prorogued on the 13th. The matter had caused . an extraordinary sensation in the whole Union. 'The affair of M‘Leod caused great excitement , 11': • again in the State of New York, as well as on the Niagara border. It was now said that '6'iderice 'sufficient to convict him would be brought forward. Chief Justice Nielson would preside,: and the force of national and political feeling ran so high, that it was impossible to say 'what a cloud of excited witnesses from the excited district of Niagara, and a Jury of Utica, in the centre of such excited interest, might con- vict upon. A new Tariff or Revenue Bill had passed both Houses of Congress. Its object is to levy taxes on many articles hitherto admitted free, and its second clause intimates that higher duties will be levied in a few months more on manufactured articles. This is a bad feature, for the uncer ainty of such fluctuations is more detrimental to commerce than even the most onerous duties. There had been very serious riots in Cincinnati between the white and coloured .populace, and several persons,were stabbed in the streets. From Canada the accounts are pacific. The Governor had intimated his intention to pro rogue Parliament as soon as the public business would permit. This would probably be on the 18th. • The notorious Lett had been captured and lodged in gaol again, sine; which there had been no ta►k of outbreaks or disturbances by the patriots, and all the border was quiet.

The Senate was occupied nearly the whole of Monday, until eight o'clock in the evening, in the consideration of Executive nominations. The Cabinet appointments confirmed were as follows : Walter Forward, Secretary of the Treasury. John M'Lean, Secretary of War. A. P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy. Charles A. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, Postmaster-Ge neral. Hugh S. Legare, Attorney-General. The ihteikioncer states by request, that Mr. Webster will remain at the head of the new organization of the Cabinet, equally in compliance with the wishes of the President and the unanimous recommendation of his (Mr. W.'s) private friends. Among the most interesting and important of the diplo matic appointments, was the confirmation of the nomi nation of the Hon. Edward Everett to be Minister at the Court of St. James's. Many other nominations were likewise confirmed, the following of which only have transpired : • William Hunter (now Charge d'Affaires), to be Mini ster Plenipotentiary to Rio de Janeiro. Robert W.

CINCINNATI, SEPT. 5, IB4l.—During the night of Friday our fair city became the scene of one of the most terrific riots that ever disgraced a civilized community. The circumstances, as near as I can learn them, are as fol-- lows :—Oa Thursday evening, the Ist inst., a slight diffi culty arose between some rowdy boys in the lower part of the city, and some negroes ; and in the course of the affray one of the whites • was stabbed, and it is said, is since dead. This roused the passions of the men who follow the river, and who are in general of desperate character, and they determined to revenge themselves upon the negroes, by attacking the quarter in which taey livo. This the negroes heard of on Friday, and armed themselves for the purpose of defending their property. On the evening of that day a snob of some two thousand • persons assembled near Broadway . and Sixth- street—where the principal portion of the negro population live—and began the riot by assailing the houses with missiles of every description. On this the negroes fired a number of muskets upon the mob, killing one oe two and wounding a great number. This for a short time checked the assault • but soon some of the more daring procured muskets, and a six-pound cannon was by some means obtained, which was charged to the muzzle with pieces of scrap iron and other Lad!) , implements, and tired several times by the infuriated mob directly on the houses of the negroes, causing them to fly in all di rections. At this juncture several military companies, which had been called out by the Mayor, made their ap pearance, secured the gun, and for the time quelled the outbreak. Yesterday morning the city was all excite:ncnt, and a meeting of the .citizens was called by the authorities, in order to end the outrage ; the eegro quarter was g uarded all day by a strong mili tary force, and all the coloured men in the city were brought here by civil officers, it was said, to prevent their being maltreated. Various measures were re sorted to in order to restore the peace of 'the city, and it was determined to enforce a law passed in 1807, compelling the negroes to give security for their good ,behaviour or to leave the city. In the evening, how ever, the mob again assembled, but their fury was directed against the abolitionists, and in the very face =of the authorities, and in spite of the military force under arms, they tore open the office of the _Emancipator (the abolition paper), destroyed the types, and dragged the press piecemeal to the river, for the purpose of drowning it, which they did most effectually. Thence they went to the house of a Mr. Burnet, who is well known , here as a most fa natical abolitionist, and destroyed the whole interior of his house, leaving but the walls standing. They likewise endeavoured to destroy one or two churches, whose mem bers were known to be favourable to the cause of aboli tion, but were prevented by the presence of the soldiers and a strong civic force. Large numbers of the rioters are in jail, but not• a tenth part of those actively engaged in this most daring riot ; the authorities seem . afraid to act with the decision called for by the circumstances, and men look at each other, wondering what will be the end. I am afraid that there will be new and . fearful scenes of violence to-night. In all the mobs I have ever seen, whether in England or this country, I have never beheld snore cool determination. Undoubtedly many of the coloured people will be forced to leave the city, and it will be well if they escape with no greater evil. THE M'LEOD CASE AND THE BRITISH MI- NISTER. We have made more particular inquiries relative to the information communicated in yesterday's paper, that orders from the British Government came by the last steamer (the Britannia), instructing Mr. Fox to demand the immediate release of Alexander M‘Leod, or his passports. The gentleman from Halifax who brings the information is highly respectable. Sir John Harvey, who came out in the Britannia, told him that two days before he left London, he was at the Co lonial and was there informed that despatches of the character above indicated were preparing, and would go out by the steamer. The intelli g ence comes to us di re6t, and through such trusty hands, that we do not see how it can well beerroneaus.—Journal of Commerce. (From the Pliilidclphia Gazette of la,st evening.) A DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION.—This morning, at two o'clock, a fire broke out in a frame tenement east of Second-street, above Poplar-lane, lately occu pied as a carpenter's shop, and owned by Mrs. llubberd, which soon communicated to the starch factory owned by the same lady; both were burned to the ground. A hay-press " belonging to Mr. Bodine was also totally consumed, worth about $5,000, covered by insurance, to the amount of $4,000. A tannery, belonging to the estate of Mrs. Fitler, and occupied by Mr. Newcum, was entirely consumed ; no insurance effected on the property whatever ; loss about $4,500. About fourteen dwellings were entirely burnt up, together with the contents, save the. inmates, SC:WIC of whom barely .escaped in their night clothes, so rapidly did the flames spread. Several stables belonging_ to Mr. Harrison were consumed, and also his 'dwelling ; his loss is about $3,000 —so reported. Some of the property belonged to Ar. Andrew Wray, Mr. Jones, and to a blind man. The whole amount of property consumed is estimated at about $20,000 SHOCKING .A.CG./..OEST-2 01 5. 1 i LIVES LOST.

It is with extreme regret that I feel myself con strained by, the duty faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of my ability " to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitu tion of the United States," to return to that House in which it originated, the Bill " to provide for the better collection, safe keeping, and disbursement of the public revenue by means of a Corporation to be styled the " Fiscal Corporation of the United States," with my written objections. In my message sent to the Senate on the 16th day of August last, returning . the Bill " to incorporate the sub scribers to the Fiscal Bank of the United States, I I dis tinctly declared that "my own opinion has been uni formly proclaimed to be against the exercise of the power of Congress to create a National Bank to operate per se over the Union," and entertaining that opinion, my main objection to that Bill was based upon the highest moral and religious obligations of conscience and the Consti tution. _ _ I readily admit that, while the qualified veto with which the Chief Magistrate is invested, should be regarded, and was intended by the wise men who made it a part of the Constitution, as a great conser vative principle of oar system, without the exercise of which, on important, ; occasions, a mere representative majority might urge the Government, in its legislation, beyond the limits fixed by its framers, or might exert its just powers too hastily or oppressively, yet, it is a power which ought to be most cautiously exerted, and perhaps never except in a case eminently involving the public interest, or, one in which the oath of the Pre sident,, acting under his convictions, both mental and moral, imperiously requires its exercise. In such a case he has no alternative. He must either exert the negative power entrusted to him by the Constitution chiefly for its own preservation, protection, and defence, or commit an act of gross moral turpitude. Mere regard to the will of the majority must not, in a constitutional repub lic like ours, control this sacred and solemn duty of a sworn officer. The Constitution itself I regard and cherish as the embodied and written will of the whole people of the United States. It is their fixed and fundamen tal law, which they unanimously prescribe to the public functionaries, their mere trustees and ser vants. This their will, and the law which they have given us as the rule of our action, has no guard, no guarantee of preservation, protection and defence, but the oaths, which it prescribes to public officers — the sanctity with which they shall religiously observe those oaths, and the patriotism with which the people shall shield it by their own sovereignty, which has made the Constitution supreme. It must be exerted against the will of a mere repreSentative majority, or not at all. It is alone in pursuance of that will that any measure can ever reach the President ; and to say that because a majority in Congress have passed a Bill, the President should therefore sanction it, is to abrogate the power altogether, and to render its insertion in the Constitution; work of absolute superero gation. The duty is to guard the fundamental will of the people themselves from—in this case I admit unin tentional—change or infraction by a majority in Con gress ; and in that light alone do I regard the constitu tional duty which I now most reluctantly discharge. Is this Bill, now presented for my approval or disap proval, such a Bill as I have already declared could not receive my sanction ? Is it such a Bill as calls for the exercise of the negative power under the Constitu tion ? Does it violate the Constitution by creating a National Bank to operate per se over the Union ? Its title, in the first place, describes its general character. It is " An Act to provide for the better collection, safe keeping, and disbursement, of the public revenue, by means of a corporation, to be styled the ' Fis cal Corporation of the United States.'" In style, then, it is plainly national in its character. Its powers, functions and duties, are those pertaining to the collect ing, keeping and disbursing the public revenue. The means by which these are to be exerted is a Corporation, to be styled the "Fiscal Corporation of the United States." It is a Corporation created by the Congress of the United States, in its character of a National Legisla turefor the whole Union, to perform the f iscal p ur p oses, meet the fiscal wants and exigencies, supply the fiscal uses, and exert the fiscal agencies of the Treasury of the United States. Such is its own description of itself. Do its provisions contradict its own title? They do not. It is true, that by its first section it provides, that it shall be established in the district of Columbia, but the amount of its capital—the manner in which its stock is to be subscribed for and held—the persons and bodies corporate and politic by whom its stock may ie held — the appointment of its Directors, and their powers and duties—its fundamental articles, especially_ that to establish agencies in any part of the nion —the corporate powers and business of such agencies—the prohibition of Congress to estab lish any other corporation with similar Powers, for twenty years, with express reservation, in the same clause, to modify or create any bank for the district of Columbia so that the aggregate capital shall not ex ceed five millions—without enumerating other features which are equally distinctive and characteristic—clearly show that it cannot be regarded as other than a bank of the United States, with powers seemingly more limited than have heretofore been granted to such an institu tion. It operates per se over the Union, by virtue of the unaided, and, in in my view, assumed authority of Congress as a national Legislature, as distinguished from a bank created by Congress for the district of Co lumbia, as the local Legislature of the district. Every United States Bank heretofore created has had power to deal in bills of exchange as well as local discounts. Both were trading privileges conferred, and both exercised by virtue of the aforesaid power of Congress, over the whole Union. The question of power remains unchanged without reference to the extent of privilege granted. If this proposed corpo ration is to be regarded as a local bank of the Dis trict of Columbia, invested by Congress with general powers to operate over the Union, it is obnoxious to still stronger objections. It assumes that Con gress may invest a local institution with general or national powers. With the same propriety that it may do this in regard to a bank of the District of Colombia, it may as to a State bank. Yet who can indulge the idea that this Government can rightfully, by making a State Bank its fiscal agent, invest it with the absolute and unqualified powers conferred by this Bill ? When I come to look to the details of ..the Bill, they do not recommend it strongly to my adoption. A brief notice of some of its provisions will suffice Ist. It may justify substantially a system of dis- Counts of the most objectionable character. It is to deal in bills or exchange drawn in one State and 'payable in another, without any restraint. The bill of exchange may have an unlimited term to run, and its renewability is nowhere guarded against. It may, in fact, assume the most objectionable form of ac commodation. It is not required to rest on any actual, real, or substantial exchange basis. A drawer in one place becomes the acceptor in another, and so in turn the acceptor may become the drawer, upon a mutual understanding. It may, at the same time, in dulge in mere local discounts, under the name of bills of exchange. A bill drawn on Philadelphia on Camden, New Jersey—at New York on a border town in New Jersey—at Cincinnati on Newport, Ken tucky, not to multiply other examples, might, for any thing in this Bill to restrain it, become a mere matter of local accommodation. Cities thus relatively situated would possess. advantages over cities otherwise situated, of so *hied a character as most justly to excite dissa tisfaction. Second. There is no limit prescribed to the pre mium in the purchase of bills of exchange, thereby correcting none of the evils under which the com munity now. labour, and operating most injuriously MORNING SUN upon the agricultural States, in which the inequali ties in the rates of exchange are most severely f e lt. Nor are these the only consequences ; a resumption of :specie payments by the banks of those States would be liable to indefinite postponement—for, as the operation of the agencies of the interior would chiefly consist in selling bills of exchange, and the [ purchases could only be made in specie or the notes of banks paying specie, the State banks would either have to continue with their doors closed, or exist at the mercy of this national monop o l y of brokerage. Nor can it be passed over without rem ar k , that, whilst the district of Columbia is made the seat of the principal bank, its citizens are excluded from all participation in any benefit it might afford, by a positive prohibition on the bank from all discounting within the district. These are some of the objections which promi nently exist against the details of the Bill ; others might be urged of much force, but it would be unprofitable to dwell upon them. Suffice it to add, that this charter is designed to continue for twea k ty years without a competitor—that the defects to which I have alluded, being founded in the fundamental law of the Corporation, are irrevocable—and that if t4e objec tionswell-foundedi%t,.he it would be over-hazardous to pass anxious solicitude to meet t p i e o e n ' fu , l ) f l y a to Fiscal say, the wishes of Congress i all . adoption of that h h e t B I l b l l e h i av t e o a fe l l a t constitutional objections, In conclusion, I take mostle.anv e t m he ost ad r o es conflicting opinions.

Owing to the Period o f th e d ea th of my lamented predecessor and m y own installation into office, I was, in u fact, not left time t o =rePare and submit a definite re commendation of my own, hi my regular M essag e ; and since, my mind has been 'wholly occupied in a most anxious attempt to conform my action to the legislative will. In this communication, I am confined by the Con stitution to my objections, simply to this. Bill but the period of the regular session will soon arrive, when it will be my duty under anothe r c la use of the Con stitution "to give to the Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommend to their consi deration such measures as I shall judge necessary and expedient." And I most respectfully submit in a spirit of harmony, whether the present difference of opinion should be pressed farther at this time, and whether the peculiarity of my situation does not entitle me to a postponement of this subject, to a more aus picious period for deliberation. The two Houses of Congress have; distinguished themselves at this ex traordinary Session, by the performance of an im mense mass of labour, at a season very unfavourable, both to health and action ; and have passed many laws, which I trust will prove highly beneficial to the interests of the country, and fully answer its just expectations. It has been my good fortune and pleasure -to con cur with them in all measures except this. And why should our difference on this alone be pushed to ex tremes ? It is my anxious desire that it should not be. I, too, have been burthened with extraordinary labours of late, and I sincerely desire time for deep and deliberate reflection on this the greatest diffi culty of my Administration. May we not now pause, until a more favourable time, when, with the most anxious hope that Congress and the Executive may cordially unite, some measure of finance may be deli berately adopted, promotive of the good of our common country ? I will take this occasion to declare that the con clusions to which I have brought myself, arc those of a settled conviction founded in my opinion on a just view of the Constitution. That in arriving at it, I have been actuated by no other motive or desire, than to uphold the institutions of the country, as they have come down to us from the hands of our God like ancestors—and that I shall esteem my efforts to sustain them, even though I perish, more honourable than to win the applause of men by a sacrifice of my duty and my conscience. JOHN TYLE R. Washington, Sept. 9, 1841. CABINET RESIGNATIONS. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) Well : the evil hour has arrived. The machinations of the conspirators who have been labouring for three months past to separate the President from the Whis. ; party, and to drive from the public service " those ster ling patriots and sound-headed statesmen, whom public sentiment and his own knowledge of their merit induced the lamented Harrison to place in charge of the several branches of the Executive Government," have been so far crowned with success, that the Cabinet is broken, Messrs. Ewing, Bell, Badger, and Crittenden sent in their resignations on Friday, and successors in their several departments were nominated to the Senate on Saturday. The Madisonian of Saturday morning states, as the impression then prevailing; that the Post Master General would remain at the post which he has filled with so much honor and general favor. But sub sequent advices assure us that in the course of Saturday, Mr. Granger gave the President notice that his com mission would be placed at his disposal on Monday (to -day). Thus, of that Cabinet which was not only the pride of the venerable patriot who formed it, but of the na tion, Daniel Webster only remains. His position, it is not to be denied, is critical, but he does not remain without having fully surveyed it, and calcu lated its responsibilities. We know, and he himself knows, that he will be assailed for not having relin quished his post with his late associates. His motives will be impeached by some and questioned by more. But in the belief that duty to his country, in the present cri tical position of our foreign relations ' requires him to remain in his present position, at least for a time, at the special and urgent solicitation of the President he will remain. And those who know him need no assurance that having arrived at a:conclusion founded upon the basis of public duty, he will stand Like Adis firm, Though storm and tempest thunder on his brow, And ocean roll her billows at his feet. The determination of Messrs. Ewing, Bell, Badger, and Crittenden to resign, was formed at a meeting on Thursday evening, at which Mr. Webster was not pre sent. There was a wide difference of opinion among the Whig members of Congress, as to the course Mr. Webster ought to pursue. The younger and more ar dent politicians demanded his resignation also. Not so the abler and more experienced men. Most, if not all, of the Eastern Whig members, particularly from Mas sachusetts, as wenre advised, insisted on his remaining in office. Mr. John Quincy Adams was particularly urgent upon this point—believing, as he affirmed, that the question of peace or war with England, in a measure, hangs upon his continuance in the State Department. The President himself is equally anxious upon this subject. For the present, therefore, at least, Mr. Webster re mains, being determined not to act rashly, or in any r% ise to compromise the interests of the republic by a mea sure of mere party policy. And we have strong confi dence that time will show the wisdom of his determina tion. In this city, so far as we can gather the evidences of public opinion, that opinion among those who have substantial interests at stake, and who look more to the welfare of the country than to the influences of party politics, is strong and clear in favour of the course upon which Mr. Webster has decided. THE NEW CABINET. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser of the 15th instant.) Walter Forward, the new Secretary of the Treasury, is a native of New England, but has long been a resi dent of Pittsburgh, in the State of Pennsylvania. He is a lawyer of eminence, and some twenty years ago was a member of Congress, supporting Mr. Crawford for the Presidency, in the memorable contest which resulted in the choice of Mr. Adams.—lt has been er roneously stated that Mr. Forward was a supporter or General Jackson. Such was not the fact. He was a stanch friend of the American protective system, and his views upon the policy of standing by the great manufacturing as commercial .interests of our own country are unchanged. He was an able Member, and we believe an officer of the late convention of Pennsyl vania, for reconstructing her constitution. He was ap pointed First Comptroller of the. Treasury by General Harrison, and it is admitted on every hand that he pos sesses all the requisite qualifications for the head of the Treasury Department. Abel P. Upshur, of Virginia, is the new Secretary of the Navy. He is a resident of Mr. Wises district, and a warm personal friend of the President. He. has never been in Congress, but as a Member of the Virginia 1.e.. gislature has often shown himself to be an able debater and an acute reasoner. As a Member of the Virginia Convention for re-modelling her State Constitution, in 1829—a body combining the highest talent of the State —Mr. Upshur obtained a proud intellectual rank. In deed, the honour of the projet of the new Constitution, and the " form and pressure " it received in the course of the discussion thereon, are in chief due to him. His labours were so well-directed and so efficient in the Convention, that Mr. Madison, Mr. Monroe, and John Itandolph, united in pronouncing him its ablest Member. On the decease of Judge Barbour of the Supreme Court, just at the close of Mr. Van Buren's Administration, Mr. Upshur, then a Judge of the High Court of Appeals of Virginia, was named as a suitable candidate for the bench ; but being .a Whig, his high claims were, of course, disregarded, and a mar. greatly his inferior was appointed. Judge Upshur is an accom plished scholar ; and, as a political metaphysician of the Virginia school, is said to be the greatest man at split ting a hair in the old dominion. But .as ropes and not hairs are used in the navy, there will be little room for the display of that sort of skill in that-department. We regret deeply to part with George E. Badger ; but " what must be, must ;" and we see no reason why Mr. Upshur may not fill his place well. John M'Lean, of Ohio, if he accepts, will be the new Secretary of the War Department. This gentleman is now one of the associate Justices of the Supreme Court. He has been too long mid constantly before the public to require an introduction, and yet we cannot consent to pass him by in the new station to which he has been in vited, without notice. Twenty years ago he was ayoung but able member of Congress from Ohio. In 1822 or 1823 he was called to the officeof Postmaster-General by President Monroe, as the successor of the late Return Jonathan Mein's. 'He was continued in that office during the Administration of Mr. Adams, because of ~' ty , Il e On 14 Ir. ad
