The Sun. — London, England, 1842-12-27 00:00:00

A strict system of accountability is established, and great pains are taken to insure industry, fidelity, and economy, in every department of duty. Experiments have been instituted to test the quality of various materials, particularly copper, iron, and coal, so as to prevent fraud and imposition. It will appear by the report of the Postmaster- General that the great point which, for several years, has been so much desired, has, during the current year, been fully accomplished ; the expenditure of the department for the current year have been brought within its income without lessening its general usefulness. There has been an increase of revenue equal to 5,166,000 dols. for the year 1842, over that of 1841, without, as it is believed, any addi tion having been made to the number of letters and newspapers transmitted through the mails. The Post-office laws have been honestly administered, and fidelity has been observed in accounting for, and pay ing over by the subordinates of the department, the moneys which have been received. For the details of the service, I refer you to the report. I flatter myself that the exhibition thus made of the condition of the public administration will serve to convince you that every proper attention has been paid to the interests of the country by those who have been called to the heads of the different departments. The reduction in the annual expenditures of the Go vernment already accomplished furnishes a sure evi dence that economy in the application of the public moneys is regarded as a paramount duty. At peace with all the world, the personal liberty of the citizen sacredly maintained, and his rights secured under political institutions, deriving all their autho rity from the direct sanction of the people—with a soil fertile almost beyond example, and a country blessed with every diversity of climate and produc tion, what remains to be done in order to advance the happiness and prosperity of such a people ? Under ordinary circumstances this inquiry could readily be answered. The best that probably could be done for a people inhabiting such a country, would be to for tify their peace and security in the prosecution of their various pursuits, by guarding them against invasion from without and violence from within. The rest, for the greater part, might be left to their own energy and enterprise. The chief embarrassments which at the moment exhibit themselves have arisen from over action ; and the most difficult task which remains to be accomplished is that of correcting and overcoming its effects. Between the years 1833 and 1838, additions were made to bank capital and bank issues, in the form of notes designed for circulation, to an extent enormously great. The question seemed to be, not how the best currency could be provided, but in what manner the greatest amount of bank paper could be pat in circulation. Thus a vast amount of what was called money—since, for the time being, it answered the purposes of money—was thrown upon the coun try ; an over issue which was attended, as a necessary consequence, by an extravagant increase of the prices of all articles of property, th spread of a speculative mania all over the country, and has finally ended in a general indebtedness on the part of States and indi viduals, the prostration of public and private credit, a depreciation in the market value of real and personal estate, and has left large districts of country almost entirely without any circulating medium. In view of the fact that, in 1830, the whole bank-note circula• tion within the United States amounted to but 61,323,898 dols., according to the Treasury state ments, and that an addition had been made thereto of the enormous sum of 88,000,000 dols. in seven years (the circulation on the Ist of January, 1837, being stated at 149,185,890 dols.), aided by the great facilities afforded in obtain ing loans from European capitalists, who were seized with the same speculative mania which prevailed in the United States—and the large importation of funds from abroad, the result of stock sales and loans—no one can be surprised at the apparent, but unsubstan tial state of prosperity which everywhere prevailed over the land ; and while little cause of surprise should be felt at the present prostration of everything, and the ruin which has befallen so many of our fel low-citizens in the sudden withdrawal from circula tion of so large an amount of bank issues, since 1837 —exceeding, as is believed, the amount added to the paper currency for a similar period antecedent to 1837, it ceases to be a matter of astonishment that such extensive shipwreck should have been made of private fortunes, or that difficulties should exist in meeting their engagements on the part of the debtor States. Apart from which, if there be taken into ac count the immense losses sustained in the dishonour of numerous banks, it is less a matter of surprise that in solvency should have visited many of our fellow citizens, than that so many should have escaped the blighting influences of the times. In the solemn conviction of these truths, and with an ardent desire to meet the pressing necessities of the country, I felt it to be my duty to cause to be submitted to you, at the commencement of your late session, the plan of an Exchequer, the whole power and duty of maintaining which, in purity and vigour, was to be exercised by the representatives of the people and the States, and, therefore, virtually by the people themselves. It was proposed to place it under the control and direction of a Treasury board, to con sist of three Commissioners, whose duty it should be to see that the law of its creation was faithfully executed, and that the great end of supplying a proper medium of exchange, at all times convertible into gold and silver, should be attained. The board thus constituted was given as much permanency as could be imparted to it, without endangering the proper share of responsibility which should attach to all public agents. In order to insure all the advantages of a well-matured experience, the Commissioners were to hold their offices for the respective periods of two, four, and six years, thereby securing at all times in the management of the Exchequer, the service of two men of experience ; and to place them in a condition to exercise perfect independence of mind and action, it was provided that their removal should only take place for actual incapacity or infidelity to the trust, and to be followed by the President with an exposi tion of the causes of such removal, should it occur. It was proposed to establish subordinate boards in each of the States, under the same restrictions and limitations of the power of removal, which, with the central board, should receive, safely keep, and dis burse the public moneys; and in order to furnish a sound paper medium of exchange, the Exchequer should retain of the revenues of the Government a sum not to exceed 5,000,000 dollars in specie, to be set apart as required by its operations, and to pay the public creditor at his own option, either in specie or Treasury notes, of denominations not less than five, nor exceeding one hundred dollars, which notes should be redeemed at the several places of issue, and to be receivable at all times and everywhere in payment of Government dues; with a restraint upon such issue of bills that the same should not exceed the maximum of 150,000 dollars. In order to guard against, all the hazards incident to fluctuations in trade, the Secretary of the Treasury was invested with authority to issue 5,000,000 dollars of Government Stock, should the same at any time be regarded as necessary, in order to place beyond hazard the prompt redemption of the bills which might be thrown into cir culation. Thus, in fact, making the issue d 15,000,000 dollars of Exchequer Bills rest substanti ally on 10,000,000 dollars ; and keeping in circulation never more than one and one-half dollars for every dollar in specie. When to this it is added that the bills are not only everywhere receivable in Govern ment dues, but that the Gover nmen t it se lf would be bound for their ultimate redemption, no rational donbt can exist that the paper which th e Exchequer would furnish, would readily enter into general circulation, and be maintained at all times at or above par with gold and silver; thereby realising the great want of the age, and fulfilling the wishes of the people. In order to reimburse the Government the expenses of the plan, it was proposed to invest the Exchequer with the limited authority to deal in bills of exchange, unless prohibited by the State in which an agency might be situated, having only thirty days to run, and resting on a fair and bona fide basis. The Legisla tive will on this point might be so plainly announced as to avoid all pretext for partiality or favouritism. It was furthermore proposed to invest this Trea sury agent with authority to receive on deposit, to a limited amount, the specie funds of individuals, and to grant certificates, therefore, to be redeemed on presentation, under the idea which is believed to be well-founded, that such certificates would come in aid of Exchequer-bills in supplying a safe and ample paper circulation. Or, if in place of the contemplated dealings in exchange, the Exchequer should be autho rised not only to exchange its bills for actual deposits of specie, but for specie or its equivalent to sell drafts, charging therefore a small but reasonable premium, I cannot doubt but that the benefits of the law would be speedily manifested in the revival of the credit, trade, and business of the whole country. Entertaining this opinion, it becomes my duty to urge its adoption upon Congress, by reference to the strongest considerations of the public interests, with such alteration in its de tails as Congress may in its wisdom see fit to make. am well aware that this proposed alteration and amendment of the laws establishing the Treasury department has encountered various objections, and that among others it has been proclaimed a Government bank of fearful and dangerous import. It is propos e d t o con f er upon it no extraordinary powers. It purports to do more than pay the debts of the Government with the redeemable paper of the Go-1 vernment—i n which respect it accomplishes precisely what the Treasury does daily at this time, in issuing to the public creditors the Treasury notes which, under law, it is auth or i se d to issue. It has no re semblance, to an ordinary bank, as it furnishes no profits to private stockholders, and lends no capital to individuals. If it be objected to as a Government bank; and the objection be available —then should all the laws, in relation to the Treasury be repealed, and the capacity of the Government to collect what is due to it, or pay what it owes, be abrogated. This is the chief purpose of the proposed Exche quer; and surely if, in the accomplishment of a pur- I cannot forego the occasion to urge its importance to the credit of the Government in a financial point of view. The great necessity of resorting to every proper and becoming expedient in order to place the Treasury on a footing of the highest respectability, is entirely obvious. The credit of the Government may be regarded as the very soul of the Govern ment itself—a principle of vitality without which all its movements are languid and all its operations em barrassed. In this spirit, the Executive felt itself bound by the most imperative sense of duty to sub mit to Congress, at its last session, the propriety of making a specific pledge of the land fund, and as the basis for the negotiation of the loans authorised to be contracted. I then thought that such an application of the public domain would, without doubt, have placed it the command of the Go vernment ample funds to relieve the Treasury from the temporary emlarrassments under which it laboured. American credit has suffered a con siderable shock in Europe, from the large indebted ness of the: States and the temporary inability of some of them to meet the interest on their debts. The utter and disastrous prostration of the United State Bank of Pennsylvania had contributed largely to in crease the sentiment of distrust by reason of the loss and ruin sustained by the holders of its stock, a large portion of whom were foreigners, and many of whom were alike ignorant of our political organization, and of our actual responsibilities. It was the anxious de sire of the Executive that in the effort to negotiate the loan abroad, the American negotiator might he able to point the money lender to the fund mortgaged for the redemption of the principal and interest of any loan he might contract, and thereby vindicate the Government from all suspicion of bad faith or inabi lity to meet its engagements. Congress differed from the Executive in this view of the subject. It be came, nevertheless, the duty of the Executive to re sort to every expedient in its power to negotiate the authorised loan. After a failure to do so in the American market, a citizen of high character and talent was sent to Europe with no better success ; and thus the mortifying spectacle has been pre sented of the inability of this Government to obtain a loan so small as not in the whole to amount to more than one-fourth of its ordi nary annual income ; at a time when the Govern ments of Europe, although involved in debt, and with subjects heavily burdened with taxation, readily ob tains loans to any amount at a greatly reduced rate of interest. It would be unprofitable to look further into this anomalous state of things, but I cannot con clude without adding, that for a Government which has paid off its debts of two wars with the largest maritime Power of Europe,' and now owing a debt which is almost next to nothing when compared with its boundless resources—a Government the strongest in the world, because emanating from the popular will, and firmly rooted in the affections of a great and free people, and whose fidelity to its engagements has never been questioned ; for such a Government to have tendered to the capitalists of other countries an op portunity for a small investment of its stock, and yet to have failed, implies either the most unfounded dis trust in its good faith, or a purpose, to obtain - which, the course pursued is the most fatal which could have been adopted. It has now become obvious to all men that the Go vernment must look to its own means for supplying its wants, and it is consoling to know that these means are altogether adequate for the object. The Exche quer, if adopted, will greatly aid in bringing about this result. Upon what I regard as a well-founded supposition that its bills would be readily sought for by the public creditors, and that the issue would, in a short i time, reach the maximum of 15,000,000 dol lars, t is obvious that 10,000,000 dollars would thereby be add e d t o t h e available means of the Trea tshue great ryN Vlth;nudt beneficialeostorl effects whichargeN oreawnolulfd b ailt e o u p r r g e e_ duced in aid of all the active pursuits of life. Its ef fects upon the solvent State bank s , w hil e it wou ld force into liquidation those of an opposite character through its weekly settlement s , would be highly be neficial ; and with the advantages of a sound currency, the restoration of confidence and credit would f o ll ow, with a numerous train of blessings. My convictions are most strong that these benefits would flow from the adoption of this measure ; but if the result should be adverse, there is this security in connection with it, that the law creating it may be repealed at the plea sure of the Legislature, without the slightest implica tion of its good faith. I recommend to Congress to take into consideration the propriety_ of reimbursing a fi ne i m posed on Gen. Jackson at New Orleans, at the time of the attack and defence of the city, and paid by him. Without designing any reflection on the judicial tribunal which imposed the fine, the remission at this day may be re garded as not unjust or inexpedient. The voice of the civil authority was heard amidst the glitter of arms, and obeyed by those who held the sword, thereby giving additional lustre to a memorable military achievement. If the laws were offended, their majesty was fully vindicated ; and although the penalty incurred and paid is worthy of little regard in a pecuniary point of view, it can hardly be doubted that it would be gratifying to the war-worn veteran, now in re tirement and in the winter of his days, to be relieved from the circumstances in which that judgment placed him. There are cases in which public func tionaries may be called on to weigh the public interest against their own personal hazards, and if the civil law be violated from praiseworthy motives, or an overruling sense of public danger and public necessity, punishment may well be restrained within that limit which asserts and maintains the authority of the law, and the subjection of the military to the civil power. The defence of New Orleans, while it saved the city from the hands of an enemy, placed the name of General Jackson among those of the greatest cap tains of the age, and illustrated one of the brightest pages of our history. Now that the causes of excite ment existing a t th e ti me h ave cease d to operate, i t is believed that the remission of this fine, and what ever of gratification that, remission might cause the eminent man who i ncurre d an d pa id i t, wou ld b e i n accordance with the general feelings and wishes of the Ameiican people. I have thus, fellow-citizens, acquitted myself of my duty under the Constitution, by laying before you, as succinctly as I have been able, the state of the Union, and by inviting your attention to measures of much importance to the country. The E xecu ti ve w ill mos t zealously unite its efforts with those of th e Legisla tive department in the accomplishment of all that is The sloop-of-war Falmouth, Capt. Mackintosh, is now the only United States Government vessel at Vera Cruz. She was expected to leave shortly for New Orleans, with 250,000 dols. in specie. We have not been able to learn the character of the dispatches brought by Mr. Southall, says the New Orleans Picayune, but from private letter s b ase d upon the reports whi c h were in circulation in Mexico, upon good authority, prior to the departure of the Missouri, we have reason to believe that all our pend ing difficulties in relation to claims of American citi zens will be most satisfactorily arranged upon terms compatible with the honour and interest of our coun try ; and tile Philadelphia Gazette states that a private letter of the Bth of Nov., from Mexico, to a gentleman of that city, interested in the claims against Mexico, states that a treaty had just been concluded between the Mexican Government and our Minister, General Waddy Thompson, for the payment of the awards made by the late Convention at Washington. The paymetts to be made in instalments of one-twentieth every three months, and the pr ocee d s of th e M ex i can Custom-house, and of some of the taxes, are pledged to the American Government for the fulfilment of the treaty. _ _ General Santa Anna, as we had already learned, had retired from the capital to his estate in Manga de Clavo, leaving in his stead General Bravo, as pro visional President of the Republic. It was under derstood that Santa Anna took this step in conse quence of failing health, and designed soon to return to the capital. Those who saw him shortly before his departure state that he never looked better. The flower of the army had been either sent to Yucatan, or to such points in the department of Vera Cruz as would enable General Santa Anna to avail himself of the power of well-trained troops if the occasion re quired. - On the arrival of the news at the city of Mexico of the taking of San Antonio, and the capture of Van Ness, Fitzgerald, and others belonging to the Santa Fe expedition, it is said that an order was sent on to shoot all such re-captured prisoners on the spot. Through the interference of General Tornel, however, this order was countermanded, and Van Ness, Fitz gerald, and such others as were known to have been in the expedition above-mentioned, have had their sentence commuted to ten years' imprisonment in the Castle of Perote, one of the coldest and most disagree able places in the country. There was no authentic news at the time of the Missouri's departure from Vera Cruz, from Yucatan. The report that the Mexicans had been defeated some time before was positively contradicted. The opinion of one of the most int:lligent corre spondents of the Picayune, in relation to Yucatan affairs is, that Campeachy would surrender without firing a gun. Another gentleman who is well versed in Mexican affairs, is strongly of the opi n i on th a t there w ill b e a battle, and that it will result in the entire defeat of Santa Anna's forces.

George S. Curson, Esq., bearer of dispatches to General Thompson, was met at Perote on the evening of the 10th inst., on his way to the city of Mexico in the mail stage. The English brig-of-war Ringdove has been re maining some time at Vera Cruz, waiting for money to take home.

FROM THE LATEST OFFICIAL REPORTS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. Georte Allen was placed at the bar before Sir Chapman Marshall, on a charge of having attempted unlawfully to introduce a quantity of spirits into Whitecross-street prison. It appeared from the statement of the turnkey that the defendant came to the prison yesterday morning, seemingly for the purpose of visiting some of the. inmates ; but the turnkey, suspecting that he had been employed to convey in spirits, stopped him, and found in his hat a bladder full of whiskey. On fur ther searching him, a tin flask, containing gin, was found concealed under his clothes. The flask was placed along the defendant's back ; he was a person of a long and slight figure, and it was evident that the vessel had been made for the purpose to whi:ll he had applied it. He had been in the habit for some time past of coming to the prison. The defendant was then sentenced to the lowest penalty which the law allowed—a fine of 101., or one month's imprisonment. A SOBER CHRISTMAS.-01.1t of a list of twenty three cases on the police-sheet this morning, two parties only were charged with being "drunk and disorderly.' BOW-STREET. Two young men, named Henry Saunders and Win. Hawkins, were charged with assaulting police-officers F 41 and F 27, and threatening to stab them with a pitchfork, while in the execution of their duty. F4l stated that he was on duty this morning at one o'clock in Long-acre, when he saw a horse galloping down the street without any harness. He stopped him, and then the two prisoners came running ;up, and asked him what business he had to meddle with the horse. They be came very abusive on their way to the Green-yard attached to the Bow-street district, from which place it appeared the horse had escaped ; and on the witness threatening to take the prisoners to the station-house, one of them went into the stable, and bringing out a pitchfork, threatened to stab him if he attempted to take him into custody. Another policeman came up, and they were conveyed to the station-house. - The prisoners in their defence said they were drunk. Mr. JARDINE sentenced Saunders to 14 days' im prisonment, and the other prisoner to eight days in the House of Correction. MARYLEBONE. Mary McGinnis, a middle aged female, respectably dressed in mourning, was placed at the bar, charged with shop-lifting. Benjamin Fountain, a boy in the employment of George Simpson, draper, Crawford-street, said that the prisoner came into his employer's on Saturday night, about nine o'clock, and requested to look at some artificial flowers, which were shown her ;.from these she selected one, and he (witness) afterwards showed her ribbons, but suspecting that she had con cealed something under her cloak, he informed Mr. Rex, who came up and taxed her with the theft. Mr. Rex said when her cloak was thrown open a piece of ribbon fell out, which he identified as Mr. Simpson's property. The prisoner was then con veyed to the station-house, and being further searched property of various kinds was found upon her, all thefts from drapers' shops. Mr. Green, auctioneer and house-agent, of Norfolk-street, requested to say a few words. He knew the prisoner for the last • dozen years. She had been married to a person filling a most respectable position in society, but, he dying, left her to fight the world with two children. Wit ness and many more who knew her in better circum stances gave her occasional employment, and she was at present living in one of his,houses, 15, William-street. He hoped as she had borne a good character hitherto, that the Magistrate would be as lenient as possible. Mr. RAwLyisoN said, he must either dismiss her at once, or commit her to Newgate for trial. If Mr. Simpson had no wish to prosecute, he would discharge her. Mr. Rex said, that Mr. Simpson had no wish to go to extremities, and the prisoner left the Court with Mr. Green. CLE RKRNWELL. John Grant and John Baker, two miserable-look ing young men, were charged with begging. Police constable E 64, deposed, that yesterday at twelve o'clock, he saw the prisoners touching their hats to several ladies and gentlemen as they passed along in Southampton-row. They were in a begging position. Witness did not see them receive anything, but took them into custody. When he arresteethem, he said, "You must now come with me to the station-house," and they said, " Very well, we are willing." In answer to Mr. CostuE, the prisoner Baker said he was from Liverpool, which he had left with some rushes for sale; Grant was from Carlisle ; they both acknowledged the act of begging, and said they were starving. They had slept in a workhouse and in the street alternately, since their arrival inLondon. Mr. COMBE sentenced them to seven days' impri sonment in the House of Correction, whence he said they could get a pass to their native places if they wished. DOCTOR STAUNTON AGAIN. - Susan Hillman, a genteelly attired female, was charged ssith being an accomplice of Henry Wickworth Staunton, who was lately tried at the Old Bailey for various robberies, and sentenced to transportation for life. The specific charge was concealing a number of duplicates of stolen property, and refusing to give them up. In addition to the particulars of Staunton's case al ready mentioned in The Sun, it may be related that a few days ago a gentleman who did not wish to give his name, stated publicly to Mr. Combe, the Magis trate, then presiding at this office, that Doctor Staunton had been tried and convicted of rape and murder in Dublin, in the year 1817; and after the trial and sentence escaped from Newgate. Mr. Combe ques tioned the gentleman as to the authenticity of this statement, and was informed that he derived his in formation from Sheriff Cooper, who stated to him that a witness had come from Dublin, one of the turn keys of Newgate, that at once identified him, but this witness was not examined on the trial, as the pri soner's guilt and identity were already sufficiently clear. From the evidence deposed to on the present charge, it appeared that the prisoner had some times lived with Staunton as wife, some times as neice, and occasionally as servant, and had assisted him in practising many of his deceptions and frauds. Helen Grant, who is one of his victims, was the only witness to support the accusation, but she manifested the same reluct ance to say anything which might affect the prisoner as she did when Doctor Staunton was before the Court. She deposed that she gave the prisoner the duplicates, but could not tell whether she (the prisoner) knew them to represent stolen property.—She was discharged. MARKET NEWS. CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.) Last week the receipts of wheat from our own coasts were on an average scale, and considering the state of the atmosphere, of fair average quality. Fresh up this morning scarcely any wheat came to hand from Essex ; while, from all other quarters the sup plies, coastwise and by land carriage and samples, were limited. Although this was a holiday market, we had a fair attendance of both town and country buyers, whoirrchased nearly the whole of the best wheats of home growth readily, at fully the prices noted on this day se'nnight, but in other kinds a limited amount of business was passing at late rates. We had a good supply of foreign wheat on offer, the transactions in which were of a retail nature at previous currencies. The imports continue scanty. The returns of Barley have been large, but the actual quantity on the stands was not to say great. The best malting parcels realised full prices ; but distil lers' sorts were a shade easier. The Malt trade was very inactive, yet we can notice no alteration what ever in the quotations. With English and Scotch Oats we were well supplied ; but the arrivals from Ireland were unimportant. This article moved off slowly at last week's currencies. In Beans and Peas next to nothing was doing. The sale of Flour was dull, and the top price of the best town-made was 455. per 2801bs.

In our market to-day, we had a fair average time of year supply of Beasts, in th e qua lit y o f w hi c h a slight comparative falling off was apparent. Although most of the butchers appear to be tolerably well stocked, their attendance was, on the whole, nume rous. For the primest Beef we had a steady inquiry at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond the prices noted on this day se'nnight, or from 4s 2d to 4s 6d per stone, • while the value of the middling and infe rior kinds was mostly supported, and a fair demand was effected by the salesmen. The imports of foreign stock, since our last report, have been again very limited, those at Southampton having comprised 80 bullocks from Spain, 20 of which were on offer from this morning, but they commanded little attention, from their miserable condition. while at Hull, twenty have been received, per the Leeds steamer, from Hamburg'', not a single head having come to hand in the Port of London. There was a scanty number of sheep on sale. The primest old Downs sold, in some few instances, at 4s 6d per 81bs., and the quotations -of all other kinds remained unaltered. Scarcely any Calves were on offer —s° littlo was doing in them that our figures are alm ost nominal. The Pork trade was rather firm at late rates. From our northern grazing districts we received about 600 short horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex 110 horned and polled sorts ; from our western and midland counties, 250 Herefords, runts, Devons, and Irish beasts ; from other parts of England, : 220 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 70 Scots, the remainder of the supply being derived from the neighbourhood of London.
