" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the p actical regulations which the writer endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 18431. " The Post-office Turkish Bath., 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverivull has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely, to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19; St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the cemfort and luxury of the visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever :feels himself regenerated and new made, it is 011 coming- outioc:a Turk/all Bath."—Era, Oct. 13, 1861. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING DECEMBER 25, 1861.

The annual report of the Secretary of the Trea sury, which was sent into Congress yesterday, will probably be read with more interest in Europethan was the President's Message. It is able and clear; it shows plainly what has already been done by the Government, how far what has been done has fallen short of what has had to be done, and why it has so fallen short; it tells the nation, without blinking, what will be the cost of the war in the future, should it continue to the Ist of July, 1863, and it proposes a radical reform in the currency of the country as one of the modes by which the necessities of the Government are to be met. The cost of the war up to the Ist of July, 1862, according to Mr. Chase's estimates, will be 543,406,422 dols., or about £112,000,000 ; and the public .debt on the Ist of July, 1862, by the same estimates, will be 517,372,802 dols., or about £107,000,000, shoWing an increase in that debt during the first year of the war of 426,504,974 dohs., or about £88,000,000. Of this increased public debt, present and prospec tive, the • Government have already negotiated 197,262,588 dols., leaving apparently to be provided for by loans between now and the Ist of July 229,262,386 dols. The Secretary thinks, however, that " the whose amount of loans required, in ttddi tion to the amount already authorised, will not ex ceed 200,000,000 dols." Two ways are open to the Government for raising this sum without resorting to foreign markets— each of them founded upon the idea of furnishing to the country a national currency redeemable in gold, in place of the present miserable 'paper currency which prevails throughout the interior. The Cur rency of the United States is mainly supplied by small local banks, with nominal capitals varying from £20,000 to £40,000. The large banks of the eastern commercial towns, which are really the only solvent banks, with specie reserves at all pro portipnate to their liabilities, furnish but a small portion of this currency. They employ their capi tal more advantageously in the legitimate discount business of a bank. The smaller banks in the interior have found it more profitable to employ , their capital in circulating their notes, in the form of bank-notes payable on demand or presentation without interest, thus being always borrowers from the community without interest, and len ders at interest of their own promises to pay without interest. This sort of circulation, im perfect enough even if uniform throughout the country, has been made still worse by the diversity of the various State laws regulating it. Each State has had its own banking system, and each has in corporated into its system the issuing of bank-notes by such private corporations, on a pledge of certain securities to the States. But, as the kind and class of se;mrities to be so pledged have been measured in each State by the apparent necessities of the peo ple of that State, it follows that, while the basis of issue has been sound in older States, it has proved to be extremely rotten in many of the newer States and only during the present year the circulation in some of the Western States has been retired at an average rate of 60 per cent. Mr. Chase proposes to take advantage of this state of affairs, and that the Government should take the place of these banks as a borrower from the community without interest, and should supply a uniform national currency, re deemable in gold. The amount of such bank currency in the loyal States, which he would supplant with Government demand notes is about 150,000,000 dols., of which the largest amount is issued by institu tions of doubtful solvability. The first mode sug gested by the Secretary for doing this contemplates the withdrawal of all notes of private corporations, and the issue in their stead of United States notes payable in coin on demand. The objections to this plan seem to the Secretary to be sufficient to autho rise its rejection. They are stated by him in the following terse language:— " The temptation, especially great in times of pressure atd danger, to issue notes without adequate provision for re demption; the ever-present liability to be called on for re demption beyond means, however carefully provided and managed; the hazard of panics precipitating demands for coin, concentrated on a few points and a single fund ; the risks of a depreciated, depreciating, and finally worthless paper money; the immeasurable evils of a dishonoured public faith and national bankruptcy,—all these are possible consequences of the adoption of a system of Government circulation." Rejecting this plan, the Secretary recommends the second plan, which contemplates the preparation and delivery to institutions and associations of notes prepared for circulation under national direction, and to be secured as for prompt convertibility into coin by the pledge of the United States bon6, and other needful regulations. The advantages of this plan are thus ...gated by the Secretary : " In this plan the people, in their ordinary business, would find the advantages of uniformity in currency, of uni-` formity in security ; of effectual safeguard, if effectual safe guard is possible, against depreciation ; and of protection from losses in discounts and exchanges ; while in the ope rations of the Government the people would find the further advantage of a large demand for Government securities, of increased facilities for obtaining the loans required by the war, and of some alleviation of the burdens on industry through a diminution in the rate of interest, or a participa tion in the profit of circulation, without risking the perils of a great money monopoly, A further and important advan tap to the people may be reasonably expected in the in creased security of the Union, springing from the common interest in its preservation, created by the distribution of its stocks to associations throughout the country, as the basis lof their circulation," A word now upon the objections to the feasibility of this plan before passing to some of the other features of this document. 1. If carried out, it will diminish, if not destroy, the profit of the local banks upon their circulation ; and although this will be admitted by all sound financiers to be a great blessing, it must inevitably combine those banks and their shareholders in opposition to the scheme. Few, if any, of these banks are parties to the asso ciation which has furnished the Government with means, and, consequently, they have no counter in terest to induce them to favour the scheme. 2. The present circulation is protected in each State by pledge of the stocks in that State ; and, though the pledge may be uncertain and inadequate, it may be found difficult to prevent opposition to a plan which would substitute for such a pledge the securities of the national Government. These objections are easily answered by arguments that may bo drawn from the secretary's report; but whether the argu ments can be overcome by the prejudices of self interest is more than any one can forsee. One thing is certain—Mr. Chase must have his money, and there is no apparent way of getting it in time for his necessities except by borrowing it from the na tion through its circulation. It will be idle to look for much more from the associated banks, after their present contracts are fulfilled, unless some measures are adopted similar in principle to those recom mended by the Secretary. The provisions for the payment of the interest upon the national debt which are recommended by the Secretary deserve attention. " Adequate pro vision by taxation for ordinary expenditures, for prompt payment of interest on the public debt, existing and authorised, and for the gradual extinc tion of the principal, is indispensable to a sound system of finance." Ninety millions of dollars, he thinks, must be raised annually for this purpose. Nor can we expect that, during the continuance of the war, the customs duties will yield the revenue that they have hitherto yielded. lle confesses that the estimates in this respect have been wide of the mark, but charges the deficit—the difference between 32,000,000 and 57,000,000 dols.—upon Congress, who reduced the specific duties upon tea, sugar, and coffee below his recommendations. The cost of the army too has greatly exceeded the estimates, in consequence of the increase of men authorise d by Congress. He thinks that great reduction may be made in the expenses of the army by the abolition of unnecessary offices, by a more rigid scrutiny into contracts, and by a, reduction of salaries. With all ' these reductions, however, there must be an increase in taxation, and the Secretary recommends that the duties on tea, coffee, and sugar be increased to 2c. per lb. on brown sugar, 3c. on clayed sugar ; to 20c. per lb. on green tea, and to Sc. per lb. on coffee. He recommends no other modifications of the tariff. He favours free trade as a wise and noble policy ; " but," ho adds, " to be wise or noble, it must be the policy of concordant and fraternal nations ;" and he says that " the most sacred duty of the American people at this moment requires the con secration of all their energies and of all their resources to the re-establishment of the Union on the permanent foundations of justice and freedom ; and while other nations look with indifferent or unfriendly eyes upon the work, sound policy would seem to suggest, not the extension of foreign trade, but a more absolute reliance, under God, upon American labour, American skill, and American soil." The Secretary recommends an increase of the direct tax authorised by the last Congress, so that it shall yield from the loyal States alone 20,000,000 dollars, and that the collection be in trusted to the several State authorities, and he sug gests for the consideration of Congress whether it be advisable to undertake to collect the income tax in the mode provided by Congress. The machinery for the collection is, in his judgment, tco cumbrous and expensive for the slight increase of revenue to be derived from that source, and he would have the State authorities collect this also. He might have stated, as a formidable objection to this tax, that there is a great doubt as to the power of Congress to impose it. The power to lay taxes is given to that body in the Bth section of the Ist article of the Constitution, in the following language :—" The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general wel fare of the United States ; but all duties, imposts, and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States." This power of direct taxation is limited by the 9th section thus :—" No capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census, or enumeration, hereinbefore directed to be taken." The proposed income tax is not distributed among the States in proportion to the census. It is levied in the form of a per centage. directly upon income wherever Mind, and without reference to the aggregate amount that may be derived from each State, and hence there are grave doubts of its constitutionality, and it will be well if Congress makes such a distribution of it as will avoid the legal question. Mr. Chase proposes that Congress shall resort to its power to lay and collect excises. He would put duties on stills and distilled liquors, on tobacco, on bank notes, on carriages, on lega cies, on paper evidences of debt and instruments for conveyance of property, and on other like sub jects of taxation, sufficient to produce 20,000,000 dols,; and thus, if the income-tax should be re tained, and should produce, as he estimates it will, 10,000,000 dols., there will be an aggregate from direct taxation of 50,000,000 dols., which, with 40,000,000 dols. derived from the Customs, will yield him the requisite 90,000,000 dols. The history of the negotiation of the loans hitherto is given by Mr, Chase in language of modest but just 'pride. He shows an aggregate receipt from loans since he took his portfolio of 197,242,588 dols. The inevitable split in the Republican party upon the slavery question is rapidly coming- The ultra violent men, who forced the battle of Bull's-run, are again clamouring against' the army, that it remains stationary and does nothing, and are urging an advance. Dissatisfied with the President's position upon the slavery question, they are endeavouring to cemmit the party, as a party, to much more ex treme views. Many go as far as Mr. Sumner, advo cating entire emancipation, with compensation to loyal masters. Others advocate the confiscation and emancipation of the slaves of Confederates. Others, still, favour only the taking into service of such slaves as are abandoned by their masters in the territories actually occupied by the national forces. With this wide latitude for discussion, it is not diffi cult to predict quarrels and bad temper speedily, but until the officers of the army become converts to the doctrines of the Emancipationists, it is not probable that any general policy favouring emancipation will be adopted by Congress. Bitterly as the Abolitionists may complain of the Conservative views of the Government, the march towards the polict of the confiscation, and emancipation of the slaves of Confederates is rapid and decisive. A Bill providing for such confiscation and for the settle ment of the slaves upon the national domain in Florida, was introduced into the House yesterday. I enclose so much of the correspondence of Mr. Seward with the French Government as has been published relative to the adhesion of the United States to the declarations of the Treaty of Paris. The Secretary contends that the United States in giving its adhesion shall be regarded as a unit, and that no exception shall be made for the territory now temporarily in possession of the " rebels."

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury is a comprehensive and valuable document, conser vative and cautious in the changes it recommends, and clear and positive in the enunciation of those sound principles of financial policy which framed the Sub-Treasury Law and vetoed the United States Bank. The Secretary states, as the prin ciple for regulating the amount of revenue " in dispensable to a sound system of finance" which " reflection has only determined" in his mind as just and for the interests of the people, "taxation to produce enough for ordinary expenditures, for prompt payment of interest on the public debt, existing and authorised, and asurplus fund sufficient to extinguish the principle within 30 years." Mr. Chase rivets this clear exposition of the American national system of paying debts, as distinguished from that of European Governments, with the following emphatic sentence:—" The idea of perpetual debt is not of American nati vity, and should not be naturalised. The tariff is recommended to be advanced as follows—Brown sugar, V i c. per lb. ; clayed sugar, 3c, ; green tea, 20c. ; and coffee, sc. No other changes are pro posed. The direct tax on property is recommended to be 20,000,000 dols. from the loyal States ; and, furthermore, 20,000,000 dols. by duties on stills and distilled liquors, on tobacco, en bank-notes, on car riages, on legacies, on paper evidences of debt and instruments for conveyance of property, and other like subjects of taxation ; also 10,000,000 dols. from the income tax, making the total yearly product of direct taxation, other than Castoms, amount to 50,000,000 dols. per annum. The proceeds of Cus toms duties are estimated at 32,198,662 dols., and from lands and miscellaneous sources 2,354,062 dole. The total from all other sources except direct taxa tion is estimated at 40,000,000 dols., and from direct taxation 50,000,000 dols., making the yearly reve nue 90,000,000 dols." On this subject the Secretary gives the following interesting remarks and calcula tions— " But if the sum is large, the means of the people are also large; and the object to be attained by a consecration of a portion of them to the public ser vice is priceless. The real property of the loyal States is valued, in round numbers, at seven and a half thousands of millions, the personal property at three and a half thousands of millions, and the annual surplus of earnings of the loyal people at not ' less than 300,000,000 dols. Four mills on each dollar, or two-fifths of 1 per cent. on the real and personal property of the loyal States, will produce -14000 000 dols. ; to which sum the propo sed income tax will probably lilittle m addore thanl O, Oooo,noeo-0s one-sixth t o h l s. of the The s u w r h p o l u l e s sum ea rn inB. will s be of the country." The Secretary explains thattheJulyofes2tiezaotoeos of expenditure were based on an army The exi,tiag appropriations, loans;-. and esti mated revenue for the year ending Jutre'3o, 1862, are estimated at 329,5151,991 do's., and the expen diture at 513,406,422 dols. This will require further loans for 213,904,427 dols., but 200,000,000 dols. will probably be enough. For the year ending June 30, 1863, the, ex penditure and interest on debt are estimated at 475,331,245 dols., and the receipts from Customs and taxation at 95,800,000 dols., leaving a balance to raise by loans of 379,431,L15 dols. The whole amount required from loans may, therefore, be thus stated:— For the year 1862, under existing laws For the fiscal year of 1862, under laws to be enacted ..

The plan which he recommends is prudent, safe for the public interests, and, under the judicious con trol of practical business men, may be made the in strument for a thorough regeneration of our bank note currency. The following are its suggestions : " Its principal features are (Ist), a circulation of notes bearing a common impression, and authenticated by a com mon authority ; (2d), the redemption of these notes by the associations and institutions to which they may be delivered for issue; and (3), the security of that redemption by the pledge of the United States stocks, and an adequate provi sion of specie. In this plan the people, in their ordinary business would find the advantages of uniformity in cur rency; of uniformity in security; of effectual safeguard, if effectual safeguard is possible, against depreciation ; and of protection from losses in discounts and exchanges; while, in the operations of the Government the people would find the further advantage of a large d eman d f or Government securities, of increasd facilities for obtaining the loans re quired by the war, and of some alleviations of the burdens on industry through a diminution in the rate of interest, or a participation in the profit of circulation, without risking the perils of a great money monopoly. A further and im portant advantage to the people may be reasonably expected in the increased security of the Union, springing from the common interest in its preservation, created by the distri bution of its stocks to associations throughout the country, as the basis of their circulation." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD, DEC. 24. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) After attending Divine service yesterday at St. Mary's, Mr. Baron Martin took his seat in court, and by sitting till a late hour succeeded in disposing of all the remaining business. William Summerfield, 28, joiner, Wm. Brindley, 24, stonemason, and Henry Mace, 22, labourer, were charged that they,to the number of three, by night, armed ,with bludgeons, entered certain en closed land at Chickley, for the purpose of taking game there, on the 18th of October, 1861. Mr. Motteram and Mr. A. S. Hill conducted the prosecution ; Mr. P. M'Mahon defended Summer field, and Mr. Kenealy the other two prisoners. It appeared that on the night in question a game ' keeper named John Smith, was out watching game on the land belonging to the Hon. Mr. Cavendish, in the parish of Chickley, and being attracted by the cry of a dog he went to a field, where he saw two or three dogs running about the rabbit nets set. The prisoner Summerfield struck the gamekeeper with a rail, which he tore from the fence. The gamekeeper was assailed and knocked down by five men, and the prisoner Mace struck him with a stake. The prisoner Brindley was identified as one of the party, but it did not appear that he inflicted any blow. The injuries inflicted upon the game keeper were so serious that for a day or two his life was in danger. Mr. Mahon submitted to a verdict of guilty as against Sammerfield, on the first count. Mr. Kenealy called witnesses :to show that the prosecutor had admitted that he did not know any more than two of the prisoners—viz., Summer field and Mace. The jury, however, found them all guilty, and Mr. Baron Martin sentenced Summerfield and Mace to 15, and Brindley to six months' imprison ment, with hard labour. John Baxter, 38, brickmaker ; Thomas Sanders, 23, puddler ; Joseph Sanders, 53, miner; John Windsor, 35, puddler; and Henry Baxter, were charged, that they, on the night of the 25th of July, 1861, to the number of three or more, armed with bludgeons, entered certain enclosed land at Biddulph, for the purpose of taking game there. Mr. Motteram and Mr. Brindley conducted the prosecution ; the prisoners were undefended by counsel. In this case the prisoners were caught in the act of poaching on the land in question. They wore all armed with bludgeons, but they offered no violence. The gamekeeper happened to know all the parties, and he went and got the assistance of a policeman and took them all into custody. The jury found all the prisoners guilty, and Mr. Baron Martin sentenced each of them to three calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. It was then stated that John Baxter had eaten 21 Christmas dinners in gaol, being confined there for poaching. Mr. Baron Martin said he had heard of a man who had been confined for the same offence 22 times in Winchester gaol, and on ono occasion he was released two days beforo Christmas-day, and then sent a brace of pheasants and a hare to the gaoler for his Christmas dinner, as an acknowledgment of his attention to him in gaol. Aaron Harrison ' 38, lute-maker; John Yardley, 48, miner ; Philip Wyatt, 35, miner ; and Henry Johnson, 28, were charged, that they, to the num ber of three or more together, armed with a gun and bludgeons, entered certain enclosed land at Stone, for the purpose of taking game there. Mr. Motteram and Mr. G. Ryder conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Kenealy defended the prisoners. It appeared thtit, On the night in question, three keepers belonging to the Duke of Sutherland were watching game and saw a man cross a field. One of the gamekeepers had a muzzled dog, which he let loose, and the dog kept the man at bay till the keeper got up to him. A struggle then ensued, and the man, who turned out to be the prisoner John son, called on his mates to come to his assistance. About from 7 to 12 men then came up, and the keeper was knocked down and beaten with sticks and stones, so that it became necessary to have him taken home in a van. The other keepers were also injured, and the poachers made their escape; but Johnston and Wyatt were identified by the keepers, and various witnesses identified Yardley, Wyatt, and Johnson, but the evidence against Harrison was less conclusive. Mr. Kenealy called witnesses to prove an alibi in the case of Harrison. The jury acquitted Harrison, and found the other three prisoners guilty. Mr. Baron Martin then sentenced the three pri soners, Yardley, Wyatt, and Johnson, to fifteen calendar months' imprisonment, with hard labour. His lordship, in summing up the case to the jury, said ho very much doubted the legality of keepers letting dogs loose upon men, and intimated his opinion that, if a case should occur in which the dog so used was unmuzzled, an indictment should be preferred against the gamekeeper in order to obtain the deci s i on o f th e j u d ges upon the quest ion. The business o f th e ass i zes was brought to a closo before 8 o'clock. We believe we are correct in stating that Count Rechberg has written a despatch to the Austrian Minister at Washington, in which he states that he considers the Government of her Britannic Majesty to be fully justified in requiring reparation for the proceedings of the San Jacinto, and Count Rec hber g ur g es the American Go vernment not to complicate the ir own affairs by any hesi tation in satisfying the just demands of her Majesty's Go vernment. TEETll.—Don't get young children's teeth drawn. At least, let this be the rule. Bad teeth come of bad health and bad food, and much sugar. I can't say I am a great advocate for the common people going in for tooth-brushes. No, they are not necessary in full health. The healthy man's teeth clean themselves, and so does his skin. A good dose of Gregory often puts away the toothache. It is a great thing, however, to get them early stuffed, if they need it; that really keeps them and your temper whole. For appearance sake, merely, I hate false teeth, as I hate a wig. But this is not a matter to dogmatise about. I never was, I think, deceived by either false hair, or false teeth, or false eyes, or false cheeks, for there are in the the cheeks round, as well a s a cer t a i n dust high—l don't call it the great—wo r ld, pl umpers for making making such advantages.
