(From the "New York Standard" of March 7.) The views of the committee ag iinst the renewal of tSe charter of the Bank of the United States, and the resto ration of the deposits, are clearly presented. They are decisively followed out by suitable resolutions, which we have no doubt will receive the sanction of a I irge majority of the immediate representatives of the people, and thus seal the fate of the corrupt colossal tyranny, which has a foot upon each state in the republic. The committee give their opinions at large upon the subject of the state bank agency in the management of the public finances. They show that reliance on them was part of the long-sighted policy which induced the framers of the constitution to reject the proposition to confer the power of creating corporations upon Congress, and that it was in fact the resort of the confederacy before, as well as after, the adoption of the constitution. They propose, however, to begin a new era and to throw new safeguards around the public deposits, by specific legislation upon the subject. To secure the pecuniary interests of the government yet intrusted to the Bank of the United States, and to as certain to what extent the abuses have gone, and how far it has contributed to produce the present comtnercial dis tress complained of, a full and searching inquiry into its management is proposed. The report will doubtless be read with intense interest by all classes of our countrymen. The questions it dis cusses are of vital interest, not only to the present gene ration but to unborn millions. Toe decision of them in volves not merely the fate of the Bank but the fate of the government. . We give below the resolutions and the concluding por tion of the report, being all that our limits will enable us to give to-day. " CONCLUSION OF THE REPORT." "It will be seen by the views already taken by the committee, that in their opinion the deposits have been lawfully removed from the Bank of the United States, and the money now in the Treasury has been legally deposited in the state banks. "In these circumstances it remains to be considered whether any, and if any, what legislation is necessary in consequence of the change of the deposits. " It is the opinion of the committee that the bank of the United States ought not to he re-chartered. The constitutional objections to it are, in their judgment, insu perable; and it its charter could be justified by the con• " And after the great abuses of which it has been guilty, a re-charter, under any modifications, would be offering the high legislative sanction and approbation of Congress to the various acts of misconduct detailed in this and for mer report to Congress. It is impossible that a corpo ration which is proved to have used its money to corrupt the press, to influence elections, and control the govern ment, can ever be selected as the peculiar object of the favour and bounty of the government. The Bank ought not, therefore, to be rechartered on any terms; and as the charter ought not to be renewed, it is manifest that the deposits ought not to be restored to it, for, setting aside the various acts of misconduct by which the present cor poration has justly forfeited the public confidence, it is obvious that the restoration of the deposits to the present Bank, to be removed again in two years, would produce nothing but the moat serious evil and distress to the country, without any possible advantage. The restoration of the deposits, and the re- charter of the Bank, are, in the judgment of the committee, inseparably connected together, and neither can with any propriety be adopted without the other. _ _ " The question then arises, whether the state banks should be continued as the fiscal agents of the Government. " The committee are satisfied that the state banks are fully competent to perform all the services which . the ge neral Government ought tq require in the collection and disbursement of the revenue, and to afford ago all the facilities to the internal commerce and exchanges of the country which have been derived from the Bank of the United States. " The collection and disbursement of the public reve nues may be safely placed where the sages who framed the constitution left it. They did not deem a national bank essential, either to the Government they were form ing, or to . ' the successful administration of its finances. The opinion has already keen expressed that the state banks are competent to perform all the duties which the Government or the public convenience may require, and there are many circumstances which strongly recommend them to a preference over the Bank of the United States. No one of them can exercise a general control over all the others, and expand and contract the whole currency of the country at its pleasure, to favour the private speculations of individuals, or to increase its own profits; and they can never combine together for political object., nor hope to gain possession of the Govern ment, and control its operations. The state banks are now firmly interwoven with the institutions of the country. They are generally under the management of citizens as respectable, as trustworthy, as any directors of the Bank of the United States ; and it would be unjust, and con trary to the spirit of our institutions, for Congress to sus tain a great moneyed pryer to overawe and oppress them, and bring ruin upon multitudes of our citizens, whenever cupidity or ambition shall tempt them to exercise their power. The stock of the Bank of the United States has fallen, for the most part, into the hands of the great capi talists of this and foreign countries, who have but little sympathy for the suffering of our people, when their own sordid or ambitious views mike it their interest to inflict it. " If it should be urged as an objection to the state banks, that they cannot afford a general currency, the an swer is obvious. If it were necessary to create a paper currency, possessing qual credit with that of the present Bank of the United States, the object can be as well ac complished with the state banks as with the bulk of the United States. The provision which has made the latter current everywhere is the clause in thecharter which com pels the government to la ceive their notes in payment of all debts due to the public, and a similar provision in favour ti the state banks, which might be selected as the depositories of the money of the United States, would im mediately make their notes equa:ly current, and insure for them equal confidence in any part of the United States. " But the committee are not prepared to recommend the adoption of such a measure. They are convinced that all which public convenience requires in this respect will soon he accomplished by arrangements among the banks themselvis; and that there ought to be no legislation of Congress for the purpose of establishing a currency of paper. "The main object of legislation should be to enlarge the basis of specie, on which the paper circulation of the State banks is to depend for support. And the committee are persuaded, that by the adoption of the state banks as the fiscal agents of the general Government, and a judicious course of legislation founded upon it, a sounder state of the currency than now exists would soon be attained, and the country rescued permanently from the danger of those sudden expansions and contractions of the paper currency which have been constantly succeed ing each other since the Bank of the United States was established, and which have brought such severe and extensive evils upon the country. The aid and co-operation or the several states may be relied on to banish gradually the smaller notes, and introduce in their place silver and gold, for ordinary domestic purposes, and the convenience of travel between distant places. Such a reform is strongly called for by sound policy and the best interests of the country, and the accomplishment of an object so desirable may be mainly accelerated by laws passed by Congress, adjusting the standard of value of our coins, and regulating the deposits and collection of the re. venue. If gold and silver were brought into common use, and the small notes banished from circulation, payments of small sums'would probably be made in specie. The great object is not to diminish the amount of the ordinary cir culating medium, but to give it a broader and firmer foun dation on the precious metals. " With these views, the committee are of opinion that the state banks ought to be continued as the depo sitories of the money of the United States, and that mea sures ought forthwith to he taken to regulate by law the manner in which they shall be selected, and to insure the , safety of the public money. " According to the law, as it now stands, the duty of selecting the banks, and of prescribing the securities to be taken, is devolved upon the Secretary of the Treasury, under the supervision of the President. This power has been heretofore exercised by the head of the Treasury De partment, and in a manner advantageous to the public, and it is not doubted, if the law should continue un changed, that it may and will continue to be so exercised by the head of that department ; yet it is the opinion of the committee, that discretionary power should never be given, in any case, to any officer of the Government, where it can be regulated and defined by law. They think that it would be more consistent with the principles of our Government for Congress to regulate by law the mode of selecting the fiscal agents, the securities proper to be taken, the duties they shall be repuired to perform, and the terms on which they shall be employed. "In accordance with these views, they accordingly re port for the consideration of the house, resolutions declar ing that the Bank of the United States ought not to be re-chartered, and that the state banks ought to continue to be employed as the fiscal agents of the Government, under such regulations as Congress shall prescribe. a Before they close this report the committee consider it to be their duty to stare, that in their judgment a necessity exists for an immediate examination into the conduct of the Bank, and they proceed to state the grounds which make it absolutely necessary that a strict and rigorous scrutiny should be instituted. They think such an ex amination necessary in reference to the security of the interests which the United States as a stockholder have in the Bank, as well as to correct, as far as practicable, the abuses of which it has been guilty, and to prevent it from w i n g its corporate power and money for purFoses of cor ruption and oppression. "Numerous memorials have been referred to the com mittee, complaining of embarrassments in mercantile transactions, some attributing them to the removal of the d e posits, and others chiefly to the subsequent conduct o the Bank of the United States. That serious embarrass ments exist in many of the commercial cities cannot be doubted, and it seems necessary clearly to ascertain the cause before an attempt he made to prescribe the remedy. Th e powers possessed by the committee are inadequate to that object, and they are unable to do more at present than to submit the facts which have come to their know ledge, with the course they seem to suggest. That the simple transfer of a sum of money from one bank of deposit to another could have produced the commercial embarrassments complained of is impossible. The public deposits have not been annihilated, nor have they been transferred from the country : they are still in the country, and in the use of the community.

Our agricultural productions, and manufactures generally, bear a good price; foreign exchange is at its lowest rate ; the balance of trade is decidedly in nu favour, and the precious metals are flowing in upon us from South America, Mexico, and Europe. None can doubt the power of the Bank to create embarrassment whenever its managers deem it expedient. In four months, commencing with August last and ending with November, it called in 9,707,245 dollars of its loans. As the state banks could not commence extending until they began to receive the public deposits in Octoher, and from that till December could not, in their extension, keep pace with the curtailment of the Bank of the United States, it is evident that such rapid curtailment by the Bank of the United States must have created some sen sation in the commerce of the country. But it is easy for the Bank of the United States to produce universa embarrassment, without aggregate curtailment of its ac commodations, by calling in rapidly one month, letting out the next, and calling in again during the third ; while it loans out in one place what it curtails in another, and in this manner falls upon all the commercial cities in ro tation, it may more effectually embarrass trade than by a steady curtailment. When the policy of the Bank is un steady and capricious, producing a scarcity of money to day and an abundance to-morrow, to he succeeded by a greater dearth the next day, it is impossible for merchants to conduct business with safety, and prudent men will restrict or discontinue their operations. The Bank has long enjoyed a large portion of the business of domestic ex change, and whenever it chooses to- cut off.the supply in any or all directions, embarrassment amid 4ifficulv natu- . rally ensue. "; There is much reason to suspect that the Bank has been managed for the last six months with a view to em barrass the community, as a means of operating on public opinion, and controlling the action of Government. " In the proceedings of the Bank in relation to domes tic exchange, as far as known, are perceived indications of a disposition to use the power it possesses through that branch of its business for the purpose of producing ex citement and distress. " The Government Directors inform us, in their me morial, that on the 13th of August last, two weeks before the Treasury agent returned from his missom to confer with the State bank-, and five weeks before the determi nation of the Executive was announced, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution, declaring— " That the bills of vchange purchased at the Bank, and all the offices, except the five western offices, shall not have more than ninety days to run. That the five western offices be instructed to purchase no bills of ex change, except those payable in the Atlantic cities, not having more than ninety days to run, or those which may be received in payment of existing debts to the Bank and the offices, and then not have more than four months to run.' " The Government directors inform us that on a sub sequent day a series of resolutions were adopted for re ducing the business of the institution, and authority given to the committee on the offices to modify them at plea sure, and although a strenuous effort was made to require . them to report such measures as might be directed by them to the Board, the proposition was voted down. " Thus, in direct violation of the charter and in defi ance of all prudence and propriety, was the whole power of this vast and powerful corporation to relieve or to op press vested in a committee, who are not subject to the responsibility of even making reports to the Bo,ird of Directors. A few irresponsible men; issuing secret orders from their private chamber, possess more power to dis tress the American people than any depapnent of their government, or all departments, by an act short of a de claration of war. What the resolves and orders of this po-ent body have been we have no means of knowing. The President of the Bank, who is ex-officio a member of this committee, and undoubtedly directs its operations, is also clothed with unlimited power to set the press in motion for the purpose of promoting the views of the Bank. For months those pi erses which are known to have been sustained by enormous loans, and those which have received the most liberal allowances for printing, have been incessantly engaged in an effort to spread alarm and dismay throughout tire land. It is impossible not to suspect that the secret management of the Bank, and the use of its funds by its president, are in perfect concert with their dependent and devoted presses, all aiming to create a 'general panic, and produce the same result. That result is the restoration of the deposits and the recharter of the B.:1k. " It any thing was wanting to confirm these suspicions, the alleged refusal of this Balk to co-operate with the state banks in their laudable efforts to relieve the exist ing pressure upon the community in the larger com mercial cities is sufficient to remove all doubts from the minds of the most incredulous. " It is due to the country that the source of the em• barrassments which oppress a portion of its commerce shall be laid bare. Should they appear to spring sorely from the management of the Bank, wantonly and wickedly directed to produce them, it may become the duty of Con gress to resort to all the means within their constitutional authority to check its career. " If it shall appear that the Bank, by means of its money and the presses under its control, has wilfully and intentionally produced these embarrassments, and if its power , has thus been abused-, it cannot be endured that for two years longer it shall be suffered wan tonly to excite alarm in the country, to direct a pres sure first on one point and then on another, enlarge at one place and contract in another, for• the purpose of continuing to the end of its existence the evils which there is too much reason to believe it has already in flicted on the community. If, upon examination, it shall be found that it has been guilty of such offences, its charter cannot be too soon termi nated, and a scire facias would be imperatively de.. manded to put an end to its machinations against the peace and interests of the people. The Government owns 7,000,000 of its stock, equal to one-filth of the whole amount. It is the duty ot Congress to see that it be not used to oppress the people, and subvert the principles of our government. Of every 100,000 dollars spent by the President of the Bank, or distributed to advocates under the name of loans, 20,000 belong to the people ot the United States. That their property may not be wasted, that the cause of their distress may be ascertained and a remedy applied, and above all, that their own funds, and the money and the power of this corporation may not be employed to subvert the principles of their government by controlling their elections, the committee deem it neces sary that there should be a thorough investigation into the alleged abuses and corruptions of that institution, and particularly into the details of its management for the last six months. To this end, they propose a resolution to invest a committee of the house with power to make such investigations. Wheat. :Per Quarter. s. to s.

It appeared from Mr. Mayhew's statement that, after the closing of the performances on the previous night, the defendant was requested, as usual, to de liver up the receipts taken that evening, in order that the money might be appropriated to the pay ment of the performers, and other persons engaged. at ''the establishment. This,however, the defen dant resolutely refused to do, which led to i scene of the greatest disorder and confusion, and which was ultimately terminated by Mr. Mayhew giving the defendant in custody of a constable, on a charge of having embezzled the receipts of the house in his capacity of money-taker. — Mr. Olier, in his defence, contended that Mr. Mayhew had no right whatever to call him to ac count for the money he received, inasmuch as he was sole manager and had possession of the house; of which he held the key. He then went on to ex plain:the affair, and stated that, by a trust-deed which he held in his possession, he was empowered to hold the money for the purpose of liquidating various claims upon the house, and it was not till after these demands had been satisfied that the actors were entitled to share the receipts. Mr. SHUTT having examined the deed alluded to, observed that there were no grounds whatever for the present charge. It was a simple question of right, over which he had no jurisdiction, and must be determined in a court of law. Mr. Olier was accordingly discharged. The office was much crowded by performers attached to the theatre. WORSUIP-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—A tall ruffiani-looking fellow, named Daniel First, a blacksmith, was charged with brutally assaulting his wife, a woman upwards of 60 years of age. The poor woman, on entering the witness-box, presented a shocking spectacle, both her eyes being terribly swollen and black, as also the lower part of her face. She stated that the prisoner, on Saturday night, returned home drunk, and without any provocation on her part knocked her down, and on her getting up be struck her three tremendous blows in her face, after which he deliberately walked off to bed, leaving her bleeding. A police constable deposed to hearing the cry of " Murder," and on entering the house he found com plainant sunk on a chair in a state of insensibility, and bleeding about the head profusely. The prisoner, in his defence, said his wife had " a tongue like a devil," and that she threw a pail of water at his head. He was fined 5/.; or two months' imprisonment. QUEEN.SQUARE. Yesterday an investigation took place before Messrs. WHITE and I3URRELL, at the request of Lord Dudley Stuart, with respect to two poor Italian boys, who were committed for fourteen days to the House of Correction on an alleged charge of begging in the streets. It appeared that on the previous evening two Italian boys, from twelve to fourteen years of age, were brought before Mr. BURRELL charged with begging in Wilton-crescent, Pimlico, one with a monkey, and the other with a cage of white mice. On the evidence of the police Men Mr. BURRELL committed the boys to the House of Correction for fourteen days, and ordered the monkey and cage to be sold to pay their expenses in prison. Yesterday afternoon Lord Dudley Stuart came to the office, and had a long conversation with the Magistrates on the Bench, and stated, that it was his impression that the lads were not begging. He had invited a number of the poor boys, it being Easter Monday, to his house, in order to give them a feast, and they were waiting at his door in Wil ton-crescent, with about a dozen more, to be ad mitted, when the police constables took them into custody. His servants went out and told the po licemen that he had ordered them to be there to have a feast, but they (the policemen) persisted, in spite of anything that could be said, and took the boys to the station-house. Lord Stßaft said that he should represent the case to Lord Melbourne, in order to procure the li beration of the lads. Mr. BURRELL said that he was aware that any representation his lordship would make would be on the ground of humanity towards the boys, but, be lieving, as he did, that the boys were begging, he only did his duty by committing them. After some further conversation, it was agreed that his lordship should call at the office on Thurs day afternoon, and that in the meantime the whole of the case should be represented to Lord Melbourne. His lordship thanked the Magistrates, and retired, THE MARKETS. cf)UNTRY CORN MARKET'S DURING THE WEER. Barley. I Oats. -------. 8. to 8. 25 32 Beans. 8. to 8.
