It is for them to relieve themselves as best they may. The British holders of the repudiated stock are scarcely to be compassionated. Experience ought to have taught them the little reliance to be placed upon the faith of the American Republic—we had almost said of any democratical Government. They ought to have known, too, without any particular expe rience, that people in that immature state of society in which most of the people of the United States find themselves, are always sanguine, therefore always eager to borrow, and nearly always unable to return the money borrowed, how honest soever their purpose in borrowing. The people of England generally have reason to be grate ful that so many of the States have resolved to resort to simple repudiation as a means of wiping out their debts, rather than to the ruder, more expensive, and far mare mischievous expedient employed by their ancestors between 70 and 80'years ago—War.

GLOBE.—President Tyler says it would be "un profitable to look further into the anomalous state of things," which has resulted in the American Go vernment being unable to negotiate the smallest loan in Europe on any terms; while the Governments of Europe can readily obtain loans at a greatly reduced rate of interest. He " cannot conclude without adding," that Fora 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 no thing 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 capi talists of other countries an opportunity for a small investment of its stock, and yet to have failed, im plies either the most unfounded distrust in its good faith, or a purpose, to obtain which the course pur sued is the most fatal which could have been adopted." The intimation conveyed in the conclusion of this paragraph to European capitalists, appears to be, that the only chance of being paid their debts is—to lend more. One cannot but adntire the adroitness with which the European creditors of America are put, as it were, in the wrong, and made to appear actuated by some sinister "purpose," in refusing a request so reasonable as that they should throw good money after bad. The American " pur pose " of borrowing more, without making any provision of any kind for paying the debts incurred already, is kept out of view in this passage ; and the European "purpose" of being —if not paid, at least afforded some prospect of payment—is represented as a purpose the most "fatal" to all chance of payment, that could have been adopted I This is not an uncommon style amongst debtors of a certain description. "My dear fellow," says Jona than, seeking a new loan, " how much are we in your debt ? "—or, in President Tyler's new and expressive phrase, " What is the general in debtedness of our States and individuals to yours ?"—" Not that I have any intention of paying you. My fidelity to my engagements has never been questioned ; and, in order that it never may, I take good care never to contract any that my subs can positively contrive to contract instead. They are' accordingly overwhelmed in debt; but my debt is almost next to nothing. It is therefore very hard and unreasonable that those European Go vernments which are involved in debt,' and whose subjects are heavily burdened with taxation,' should readily obtain loans everywhere, while I can't raise a shilling in the world." It is truly astonishing to us that the official organ of the Federal Government should, ostrich-like, thrust its head in the sand in this fashion, and think to conceal its body. What a monstrous assumption it is to assert that the good faith of the American Government is unquestioned; in the same breath in which that Go vernment is described as the creature of the popular will ; and at the very moment in which that popular will has been chiefly signalised by repudiating either the State-debts, or :at least all taxation to pay them ! STANDARD.—The following paraorapi of the Message of the American President has singular claims upon the attention of reflecting men : " 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 ordinary annual income; at a time when the Governments of Europe, although involved in debt, and with their subjects heavily burdened with taxation, readily obtain loans to any amount at a greatly reduced rate of inte rest. It would be unprofitable to look further into this anomalous state of things, but I can not conclude without adding, that for a Go vernment which has paid off the 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 strong, , st 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 opportunity for a small investment of its stock, and yet to have failed, implies either the most unfounded distrust in its good faith, or a purpose to obtain which, the course pursued is the most fatal which could have been adopted." The credit of the United States is no more. It is worth a moment's inquiry to ascertain the causes of its fall. We need not delay the inves tigation by following the President's attempt to dis tinguish between the credit of the Union and the several credits of the different States of which it is composed. The Union is a firm, the several States are the partners in that firm, and whether we regard the causes that have led to the general loss of credit as founded in dishonesty or insolvency—and they must be assigned to the one or the other—the effect must be the same. If the bankrupt members of the . firm are merely dishonest, their dishonesty must re flect upon the whole company, which wants either the will or the power to restrain its members from the commission of gross fraud, and which may, therefore, be expected to imitate, in its collective character, the same fraud when occasion shall arise. If, on the other hand, the repudiating States can plead insolvency, the Union must be regarded as insolvent, unless it can be shown that some of the States are rich enough to make good the defalcation of their partners. We take, however, the charitable hypothesis : we believe the repudiating States to be really insolvent—that it is " their poverty and not their will consents" to the cheat by which creditors suffer. These States have borrowed more than they are able to pay—more than they ever will be able to pay. This casts a useful light upon the future, as well as upon the past, of American history. If the Republicans have been borrowing more than they have any prospect of being able to pay, they have been all this time living upon the money and the in dustry of strangers. All the prosperity—all the im provement—all " the going a-head," which they and others have been fond of ascribing to their democrati cal institutions, have been fallacious as such a proof, because they have been the fruit of a robbery—it may be, and we are willing to believe it has been, an undesigned robbery—of the people of countries that are not democratical. The inference as to the future is gloomy enough. lf, with an unim paired credit, with a land-fund difficult to exhaust, with that prosperous use of bath which has been the subject of so much exultation, the Republicans have not been able to avoid bankruptcy, what may they an ticipate with these resources cut off—and in their bank rupt condition ? It is no pleasant prospect to look upon the retrogradation in civilization and happi ness of so many millions of our kinsmen, but we confess that we cannot see any other prospect except through an essential change in the constitu tion of the Republic—a change perhaps extending to a dissolution of its Union. This, however, is a consideration for Americans. As Englishmen, we shall benefit by whatever may promote the happi ness, the prosperity, and, though it may seem a paradox to some, by the strength of the North American States; but this gives us no right to speculate upon the policy they ought to pursue. We FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The London payments of the Yorkshire Agricultural and Commercial Joint-stock Bank have proceeded to-day at the house of agency as hereto fore. The deputation of gentlemen sent up to town by the Directors have returned to Yorkshire, where they will lend their assistance in the negotiations for the transfer of the business to 'another bank, which it is believed will have a successful and mutually satisfactory termination. The bankilig'de - rangements in the ICorth of Eng land are owing more immediately to the late failures in the corn trade. The Canada papers by this arrival state th a t, i n consequence of the advices from England regarding American provisions, some of the largest holders had withdrawn themselves from the markets. The stock of beef at Montreal had been almost wholly absorbed, the late low prices having induced large shipments to this country. The last sales made were at 23- dollars for cargo, 4 dollars for prime, and 61 dol lars for prime mess. The stock of American pork was estimated to be about 40,000 barrels, and cargo hed realised 4I dollars, psim3 53 dollars, prime mess 7'dollars, and mess 5' to 184 dollars. Canadian cured provisions had ranged from ss. to 7s. 6d. per barrel higher, which was, in reality, lower than the price of American, as the latter are inadmis sible in this market, unless at 13s. per barrel extra duty. The entire supply of Canadian pork had already been shipped to England. The project started some time since by the mer chants of Halifax, for fitting out vessels from that ,port for the prosecution of the whale fishery, and in furtherance of which subscriptions were entered into, is about to be carried into execution. Two vessels, namely, the ship Rose and a new brig, were upon the point of being sent on a whaling voyage. It was expected that Halifax would be much benefited ' by the measure, as it would have the effect of retain ing a large amount of capital in the city, while it would render the province independent of the Ame ricans fur supplies. TIMES.—The commercial and financial portions of the President's Message. which appeared in the whole of our yesterday's impression, are necessarily the chief objects of consideration in the City to .day. From his declaration that extravagant duties dereat their own object by setting the agricultural and menu facturing interests in opposition to each other, and by holding forth a temptation to contraband trade, it will be seen that Mr. Tyler clearly perceives the ne cessity of a more liberal tariff, and that the modifica tions of a law, which he confesses was hurri e d th r ou g h Congress, will, if his wish is carried out, be made in the direction of free trade. The warehousing system, which has for about a month past been advocated in the American papers as a relief necessary under a pay ment of cash duties, and as a prevention against the whole of the export trade falling into the hands of a few wealthy capitalists, will, it is evident, find an ad vocate in the President. The Exchequer plan which is proposed on this occasion for the reformation of the currency is the one th a t wa s brought f orwar d at t h e beginning of l as t sess i on , Th e choice lying, as Mr. Tyler observes, between an exclusive specie currency on the one hand, and Government issues on the other, he selects issues made directly by Government agents, and therein d' Viers f rom th e 'sub-Treasury plan, by which all currency b u t spec i e was excluded. It is useless to repeat here the description of a scheme which was so long before the public, especially as it will be brought forward in detail, and will be fully discussed in the course of the present session. The message of the Governor of Virginia, which is given in the papers of the present arrival, contains a review of the participation of this State in the course which produced the present financial difficul ties. A mania in favour of public works, without due reflection on the means of paying for them, created the debt. The message of the Governor of North Carolina shows that that State, which has hitherto been free from debt, has " loaned" its credit to two railroads, to the amount of 1,050,000 dollars, and has subscribed 600,000 dollars to the stock of one of them, the inte rest on the bonds being paid by the roads if they can earn sufficient. From the proceeds of the public lands he expects 22,917 dollars. From the message of the Governor of Missouri it appears that the receipts for the two years ending September 30, 1842, were 266,518 dollars, exceeding by a small balance the disbursements, which were only 233,930 dollars. Here the distribution of lands is spoken of as an act of absurdity. Recent accounts from Madrid, stated the particu lars of a proposition which was presented to the Spa nish Government by an agent of several. Spanish and foreign houses, in which they ordered an advance of 1,560,0001. upon the produce of the mines of Almaden during seven years, at the price of 65 dollars per quin tal of quicksilver. A more extended proposition has since been made to M. Calatrava by the same party, offering on cer tain terms to the Government to undertake the pay ment of five years' interest on the Three per Cent. home and foreign stock already in circulation, and also that which may be created for the capitalisation of arrears of coupons for 1841, 1842, and first"divi dend of 1843, proposed to the Cortes. These parties claim from the Spanish Government, in payment for their advances, bills upon the revenues of the colonies, payable from January, 1845, upwards; an assignment upon the tobacco revenue of Spain from January, 1844; and interest at 8 per cent. per annum upon the amount of their advances. As guarantee for this contract they require the. creation of 5,000,0001. Bonds of the Three per Cents., which will be deposited in the Bank. These Bonds cannot be put in circulation, except in the event of the said parties claiming them, during the years 1843 and 1844, at the price of 35 per cent. In such case, out of the payment of the 1,750,000/. of their value, 750,0001. in cash, to be invested in British Exchequer Bills, to be deposited in London, especially applied to the payment of five years' interest on the said 5,000,000/. created. The contracting parties demandlikewise of the Go vernment that a proposition, having Spanish nation may derive the benefit of competition ; and they offer to guarantee the these objects in view, may be submitted to public auction, that the performance of this contract on their part, if successful in such competi tion, to the satisfaction of the Government. So much uncertainty has always attended opera tions of finance connected with the Spanish Govern ment, that it is not to be expected that any new one, however appearance, will m a t e rially raise t in creditors. The offer above described o e s plausible o f the the hopes is a proof only of the greater confidence entertained by foreign capitalists in the present Government of Spain, and until it has arrived at a much more ad vanced stage, it would be unsafe to draw any con clusions of a favourable nature from it.

Cockburn (Chairman, if we mistake not, of Sir George's election committee at appointment, a naval good service pension of 1501. per annum will be at the disposal of Lord Haddington, which will, we trust, be bestowed on some officer of really distinguished service, and not as a payment for political agency. Captain Richard Arthur (a Captain of 1810) commanded the Vesuvius bomb at Copenha gen, and was posted from the Cherokee for a gallant. and successful attack on seven privateers under the batteries of Dieppe in 1810. He has, however, been fully employed, and, besides the C. 8., has had a good service pension bestowed upon him.

POOLE.--On Saturday last, her Majesty the Queen Dowager honoured this town with a visit. Her Majesty, availing herself of the extremely favourable state of the 'weather, was in an open carriage, drawn by four hcr:se s , and was attended by several of her Majesty's. suite, also in an open pony carriage. The Royal. T arty drove slowly through the High-street, round the Quay, and along the west shore, whence they returned to Canford House. Her Majesty, who, we rejoice to say, looked quite well and much pleased, was received with every demonstration of the most loyal and respectful attention. The bells in the church tower were rung in celebration of the honour bestowed upon the town.—Somerset County Gazette: NON-INTRUSION CANT.—The most abominable feature of the Non-Intrusion agitation is the cant of its leaders and promoters. Not content with assert ing their honesty and their faith in the soundness of their principles, they blasphemously assume that they are fighting God's battles, and th a t a ll w h o are op posed to them are in league with the powers of dark ness. Dr. Candlish told a large meeting that Satan was in the Convocation, and was like to have caused some distuabance, hut that the Lord had defeated him ; other parties, who have since given explanations of the prcce adings, have adopted the same Aberdeen hr.erald. • style.— CHESS, DRAUGHTS, AND CRIBBAGE.
