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 thatfirm, 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.

This, however, is a consideratio n for Americans. As Englishmen, we shall b ene fi t b y 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 they ought to pursue. W speculate upon the policy know, with sorrow we know it, from the lips of e their Chief Magistrate, that they are brn t and without credit. It is for them to relieve themselves as best they may. Th e British holders of the repudiated t lc S_OC-- 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 puTpose 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 more mischievous expedient employed by their ancestors between 70 and 80 years ago—War.

Yesterday Michael Meagan, an Irishman, a shop keeper, and dealer in second-hand shoes, in White cross-street, Ellen Regan, alias Meagan, his wife, Catherine Singleton, a sister of the latter, and Hannah Cotter, an elderly woman, living at Meagan's in the capacity of servant, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, the sitting Magistrate, on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of Thomas Leary, a single man, a journeyman in Meagan's employ. The prisoners were brought to the Court by a party of the G division of police, and the Court, and all the avenues to it, were thronged by the residents of Whitecross-street and neighbourhood, amongst whom the occurrence had occasioned intense excite ment. Mr. Wm. Richard-Bland, the first witness, stated that he was a tobacconist, keeping a shop at N 0.106, Whitecross-street, immediately opposite the prisoner Meagan's, and after ten o'clock on Sunday night, was serving a customer, when a strange outcry and bustle on the opposite side of the street attracted his notice, and going to his door he saw the prisoner Michael Meagan come out of his shop, and two of the females also in a hurried and agitated manner. Meagan him self went off in one direction and the females the op posite one, and soon afterwards the witness saw a man called " Jack," who worked for Meagan and lived in the house, came out wringing his hair and his hands, and uttering exclamations as if he had witnessed something dreadful. The witness then went into the shop and saw the woman Cotter, wh., in arswer to his question as to what was the matter, said she did not know, but, looking behind the counter, he saw the deceased Leary lying there, He at first thought the deceased was asleep or insensibly drunk, but, looking again at him more particularly, saw that he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the side, and just then the man called " Jack" returned with Mr. Wright, a surgeon, who sent for some strapping, and dressed the wound. The deceased, however, expired in about half an hour. The witness, in reply to the Magistrate's question, said he knew the parties as neighbours, living oppo site. He was not aware that the prisoner Meagan was in the habit of getting drunk, but the deceased (Leary) was. John Rice, the young man whom the witness Bland mentioned by the name of Jack, said that he worked for Meagan and lived in the house, as did also the deceased, Thomas Leary, who was a single man. Two of the females lived in the house ; and one of them, the prisoner Ellen, was Meagan's wife. On Christmas eve the witness was at the house of a Mr. Perry, who is in the same kind of business, in White Horse-yard, and he remained with them all night and till six o'clock on Sunday morning, when he went home and went to bed until eight o'clock, when he arose and went again to Perry's, where he continued throughout the day. At night, about ten o'clock, he heard the voice of the prisoner Singleton calling to " Jerry," Mrs. Meagan's brother, who lives in White Horse-court, and the witness fearing from her manner that something had happened, went home, and on entering the shop, found the deceased lying bleedin behind the counter, and exclaiming, " Oh, Tom. He took him by the hand, and asked him who had done that to him ? The deceased, who appeared to be fast dying, said, " Jack, you are the last person I shall ever speak to," and the witness said, "For God's sake, Tom, tell me who did it before y ou di e ." Mr. BROUGHTON asked if there were any other persons present at this conversation between him and the deceased? The witness said that some of the policemen, and other persons also, he believed, were in the shop at the time. Mr. Heritage suggested that all such witnesses should be ordered out of court during the further examination of this witness, who, however, being de sired to look around the Court could not recognise liny one; nor did it appear that any person present had heard anything spoken by the deceased. The Police Inspector, Jarvis, said, in answer to the Magistrate, that if any of the police had heard any Stieh conversation, he believed it would have been reported to him. The witness said he thought they had entered the shop at the time he spoke of. Mr. BROUGHTON desired him to proceed with his e vidence, and state what the deceased had said. The witness said the last words spoken were, " Oh, Jack, you are the last person I shall speak to," for while witness was reiterating his entreaties to know who had done it the deceased closed his eyes, and wit ness then hurried off for Mr. Wright, the surgeon. Mr. BROUGHTON, after some private communication f;som the Police Inspector, asked the witness whether he. had not heard that Meagan was jealous of the de ceasecl, and had complained that the latter was too familiar' With his wife. Mr. Frederick Wright, surgeon, said that about half-past .ten on Sunday night he was called to the prisoner A,reagan's house by a man who told him that a man ther,s had cut his throat. He accompanied the messenger, .and found the dec ease d l y i ng b e hi n d t h e counter, bleeding copiously . from a wound between the two upper ribs on the right side. He compressed the lips of the wound, and strapped it, but it kept bleeding, and in half an hour the deceased expired. The wound was hail an inch long, and three-quarters in breadth, st stab, evil must have been the result of a very hard blow. He Lad no t proile d it, but was of opinion that it h a d P e n et ra t e d th e l u n g s. The de ceased did not speak whi,:l he was present, and was in a state of syncope during ~ h e whole of the time till he died. The witness picked up a knife, now pro duced, which he found by the side of the body, and he believed the wound had been jnilleted by a hard blow with that knife; it was a shoen_ia.lier's knife, with . 1 square end an d k een edge. Several of the police were then exainTher.: to th. o fi t lowing effect :-134 G , who first went to the shop abo. '- the time when the deceased expired, went in pursuit of Meagan, on lear n i ng w h at had occurred, but did not find him; and about half-past two yesterday morning the prisoner Meagan went to the police station, and gave himself up to sergeant Ellis, saying that he un derstood the police were after him, and that it was an unfortunate business, but he knew nothing about it. Ellen Regan, or Meagan, was found in the house by Sergeant Beaumont ; and Charrington, 160 G, said that on the way to the station she exclaimed, " Oh dear, if they split it will be a hanging job." The prisoner Singleton lodged in Spitalfields, and 134 G went there, and waited till six yesterday morning, but she did not return home all night. In the course of the morning, however, she called at the house of Driscol, 24 H, and gave herself into custody, and said to him that they began throwing shoes about in Mea- gan's shop, but she could not tell how the man came by his death. The male prisoner said in his defence, that he was quite innocent of the charge. The deceased Leary, he said, had begun quarrelling, and insisted upon having money. The deceased, who was very drunk, threatened to strike him unless he gave the money. Prisoner then went out to take a glass of drink, and when he returned he heard that his wife was in cus tody, and the occurrence in question had taken place in his absence. He knew nothing about it. Hannah Cotter, the servant, was, after some in quiry, removed from the bar and placed in the wit ness box. She stated that there was a christening on Sunday at Jerry Regan's, Mrs. Meagan's brother, and the Meagans went to it. About nine at night witness went to fetch Mrs. Meagan home, and she went up stairs about that time to make the beds. When she had done that and returned down stairs she saw the deceased Leary stooping behind the counter, and heard him exclaim, " Oh God ;" or " Oh dear !" and immediately after he fell down behind the counter. Witness then went out to get assist ance. There was nobody in the house but the de ceased and herself when she went up to make the beds, and she heard no noise or quarrelling while she was up stairs, and there was no one ther e b u t th e de ceased when she went down again. Being further questioned, however, she said that as she came down, she saw, the p r i soner Si ng l e t on run out, and the shadow of some other person. Mr. Bland being recalled, said that when the noise drew his attention to the place, he saw Meagan and the two females come out, and the gas was alight in the shop when he went in. The MAGISTRATE, after an examination which lasted several hours, remanded the prisoners for a week. CONSISTORY COURT, BRISTOL. (From the Bristol Journal.) 'The Worshipful Joseph Phillimore, D.C.L., Chan cellor of Bristol, this day (D ec . 21) presided for the first time in his Court. DEFAMATION.—PATNE V. ROWLEY. This was an action in which the plaintiff prayed for judgment upon the defendant for defamation. Ain Hartley appeared as proctor for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bridges for the defendant. Mr. HARTLEY stated that this was a suit brought by Mrs. Prudence Payne, a lady who lived up on h er property, against Mrs. Mary Ann Rowley, the wife of Mr. Thomas Rowley, straw-hat manufacturer, of College-green, and he prayed the sentence of the Court that Mrs. Rowley may be condemned in costs, and to do penance, for having defamed the character of his client. The facts were, that an acquaintance had subsisted for some years between Mrs. Payne and the family of Mr. Rowley; and in the year 1841 Mrs. Rowley had said in the presence of credible wit nesses that Mrs. Payne had been for two months co habiting with the defendant's husband. To this a responsive or defensive allegation, as we understood, had been put in, as he conceived irregularly, together with exhibits thereto, being certain letters ; and the allegation stated that Mrs. Rowley did not use the word cohabit, but said an improper correspondence had been going on, and that Mrs. Rowley spoke under great excitement. The fact was, however, that the uttering of the words had been clearly proved, and he now prayed the sentence of the Court upon Mrs. Rowley. Mr. BRIDGES, for the defendant, stated that this was an extremely hard case. His client, coming into pos session of certain letters which he would presently read to the Courtjelt that she was wounded in the most.cruel manner in which a wife could be injured, and she felt also that she had daughters whose repu tation and fair prospects in life depended upon the discontinuance of a correspondence which those letters proved to exist between her husband and Mrs. Payne. She did in this case what any respectable woman, a mother, and a wife, would do; she evinced even more than common self-command in this case, for she wen. to Mr. Chidgey, who is an assistant-surgeon at Keyn sham, and the brother to Mrs. Payne, to induce that gentleman to prevail upon his sister to discontinue the correspondence. She requested for this purpose to have a private interview with Mr. Chidgey, which that gentleman refused ; and said that if she had any thing to say she should say it in the surgery,.when there were two gentlemen present. Excited, as may be supposed, by the letters then in her hand—still more excited at being thus treated when she came upon an errand the most judicious, the most temper ate, and he might say the most kind to the plaintiff that could be conceived, Mrs. Rowley certainly did speak under the impulse of strong feelings, and said, " If I must speak out, I say your sister has been holding an improper correspondence with my husband ;" but even if she used the words stated on the other side— of which - she was not aware—he conceived the Court would consider that the provocation was such as to remove the necessity of condemning her in costs and enjoining penance. - Whatever the words were that she then used, Mr. Chidgey was apparently not less excited, for he shook his fist at her, and said, " By God, if you were a man that said this, I would knock you down." The Learned Proctor having detailed the facts to the effect above stated, read the depositions of Mercy Ware, servant to Mrs. Payne ; of Miss Amelia Rowley, and of Miss Jeronomy Rowley, daughters of the defendant. The evidence of Mercy Ware stated that a considerable number out of fifteen or sixteen letters produced were written by her mistress to Mr. Rowley; that her mistress read over some of the letters to her (Mercy Ware), and desired her to deliver them to Mr. Row ley, and to nobody else ; some of the letters were signed " Constant," some of them were addressed to "Forget me Not." This witness had seen nothing' improper pass between her mistress and Mr. Rowley, except that he once gave her a kiss. If an improper intimacy had taken place at Mrs. Payne's house, it might be without her (witness's) knowledge of it. The evidence of the Miss Rowley: ' young ladies grown up, proved the h an d wr iti ng o f Mrs. Payne on some of the letters; that they had, with their mother's consent, been on visiting terms with Mrs. Payne be fore these letters were known of ; that they had never witnessed any impropriety of conduct between their father and Mrs. Payne ; that their mother had pro hibited them visiting that lady, and that ,they had not since visited her. Some of the letters to their father were addressed to "Forget me Not," and a few to Mr. " Tatton." The Learned Gentleman then read the following extracts from the original letters : "My dear Thomas—l this day promise you, while I am on this earth, no man shall win my affections from thee, not if he were rich, ranki ng amongst t h e most high in this life, and if he would settle a dowry on me, I would spurn it, and still fondly fix my hopes on thee; that if God saw it not good for me to be thine in this world I may be thine in glory; my witness to this now is my Heavenly Father, and on his Sabbath I have written it. Oh ! may he hear my prayer ! may Ibe thine. How I should adore and study to make you happy. Adieu, believe me with fidelity, ever and ever, yours, and only yours constant, " PRUDENCE PAYNE." "My dearest, dearest, very dear, my own Forget me-Not—Every day you are more dear to my heart, and when I leave you it is death, for I am sure the separation of the soul from the body cannot be so painful, especially to those who believe and die in the hope of an immortal life ; such I trust will be our case when we depart this sinful world ; but you often ask me do I pray to be your's ; yes, in sincerity I do night and day, and had I worlds to give to obtain you I would sacrifice them all for the possession of one I love so dear. Will that day ever arrive ? I hope, I pray it may, and sometimes I am sanguine enough to believe it will. Then, oh, then, I shall, we shall be more than happy, I fear too happy to last long ; but again I trust the day will come, for if I have your arm to lay my , head on in the hour of death, painful as the separation may be, I should calmly resign my soul to my Maker, and my l as t fond look, faithful prayer, and dying words would be yours, and, should I never have the bliss of possessing you, if sensible in the hour of death, I 'shall send for you, and I hope I shall at least be heard in this prayer.
