- •

By the arrival at Liverpool yesterday of the packet-
ships Europe and Scot/a/24 from the United States,
we have received a file of New York Papers to the
20th ult. inclusive. In the language of the journals—
" the onward tendency of the Money Market was un-
abated. Stocks were rising, specie falling, Treasury
drafts coming down, and the general tone of Wall-
street getting better." This was attributed to " the
course of things in Washington"—or in other words
to the measures recommended by the Senate and House
of Representatives for sustaining public credit, and
the recent elections to the eastward. An issue of Treasury
notes to the amount of twenty millions of dollars, is said
to meet with " the approbation of every reasonable man
of business," and likewise that " the re-union of the
Government with the deposit banks is maturing as fast
as possible." The gradual approximation of specie
and bank notes is also referred to as " indicative of a
germ of harmony in the financial and political action
of the country." The proceedings in Congress up to
the date of the last accounts from Washington were
very important. On the 11th Mr. WRIGHT, a
Member of the Finance Committee, reported to the
Senate " A Bill to postpone the fourth instal-
ment of deposits with the States." On the 13th he
moved the introduction .of a Bill for authorising the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue notes to the amount
of twelve millions of dollars, bearing six per cent. in-
terest, and redeemable at the expiration of one year by
the States. If this Bill pass it will put an end for
ever to the ridiculous policy of a specie currency
in so great a commercial country as the United
States. Twelve millions of dollars will be but as a
drop of water in the bucket, but it will be useful,
because it will pave the way for a more extensive
issue, and so establish at once the soundness of the
great principles of bank credit. The JACKSONIANS
and Van BuRENITEs are clearly defeated ; for Trea-
sury bonds are bank-notes, except that bearing interest
they are less practically useful, and more expensive to
the country. Mr. WRIGHT likewise brought in bills for
warehousing merchandise for which no duty was paid for
a term not exceeding three years—for making
certain offices depositories of local funds—and for the
revocation of the charters of such banks in the State of
Colombia as may refuse to resume specie payments.
Counterparts of these Bills, with some trifling altera-
tions, were introduced in the House of Assembly,
by Mr. CAMBRELENG, reporter of the Committee of
Ways and Means. These unanimous proceedings in
both Houses gave great confidence to the merchants
and traders out of doors—especially as they looked
upon them as the first steps towards the adoption of
an improved commercial system.
(From the New York Papers to the 20th ult.)
NEW YORK, SEPT. 17.—The past week has been one
of great activity, compared with a long line of its imme-
diate predecessors. Four arrivals from Europe yesterday
bear cheering intelligence connected with the money and
cotton markets.
The improvement in the business in the manufacturing
districts, and the revival of trade generally, have inspired
considerable hope. Great activity has already commenced
with the importers, considering their small stock of goods.
The jobbers and grocers have also commenced their trans-
actions. Matters, however, must gradually grow worse
again. Our finances are still in too oppressive a condition
to do great things before another spring.
There was a decline in rates for the packets of yester-
day, which however have been detained until this morning
in consequence of the weather. The sales of private bills
on England were moderate, at 19 to 20, and -.Government
bills at thirty days' sight, at 20/ per cent. premium ; and
on France, 4f. 80c. to 4f. 85c. ; Holland, 44 ; Hamburgh,
384 to 39 ; and Bremen, 87 to 87,E cents.
SEPT. 16.—EXCIIANGES.—The rate of Exchange on
England has declined about 1 per cent. The transactions
for the packets leaving to-day were chiefly at 19 to 20 per
cent. premium. No material alteration has taken place in
the rates of foreign exchanges. Bills on France were sold
at 4 dols. 80e. to 4 dols. 85e. ; on Hamburgh, 384 to 39c.
on Bremen, 87 to 87/c. Nothing was done on Holland,
The demand on all places was limited. Specie has con-
tinued to decline. The last sales were sovereigns at 5 dols.
35e. to 5 dollars 32 cents. ; Spanish doubloons, at
17 dole. 33c.; patriots, 16 dols. 75c. to 16 dols. 80e. ;
Mexican dollars, 94 to 91 per cent. premium ; five frank
pieces, 1 dol. 3c. ; American gold and half dollars, 8 to 8/
per cent. premium. The amount of specie by this day's
packets is estimated at 150,000 dollars.
The Senate's Treasury Note Bill, as reported by Mr.
Wright :
A BILL TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUING OF TREASURY NOTES.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That the President of the United States be, and he
is hereby authorized to cause Treasury notes, for such sum
or sums as he may think expedient, but not exceeding in
the whole amount of notes issued the sum of millions
of dollars, and of denominations not less than 100 dollars
for any one note, to be prepared, sigaed, and issued in the
wanner hereinafter provided

The foundation of a Catholic Chapel was laid a week'
or two ago at Hereford ; and as is
usual on such occa-
sions, there was a considerable display of pomp anti
ceremony. All sects celebrate these eventsonore or less
ostentatiously. Even the Unitarian, the professor 01;
the simplest form of Christianity, does not deem r•
inconsistent with the spirit of the Christian system _ c
to
mark the erection of a place of worship by a pub'
solemnity. Our readers need not be told that the Ca:
tholics lay great stress on ceremonies ; and the framers of
these ceremonies, as well as of those parts of Catholic
worship which are addressed to the senses, have show"
that they know well how to enlist the sensibilities--
perhaps we might say the weaknesses—of human nature
in the cause of religion. Shall the Catholics hx

blamed for this ? Assuredly not by the Church-oz-
Englandist. In this respect the same spirit runs
throughout both the systems or rather the systems
are precisely identical. The Church of England l''''
indeed mutilated the ceremonies of the Mother Church,
and so far they are shorn of their original
splendour.
But in the magnificent cathedral, the pealing organ,
and the priestly robe ; in the Episcopal palace, throne,
and altar—not to mention other things—there is qul (-
