puerile that 'we wonder -the Board of Directors should
have made so ridiculous an arrangement. The non-
stopping one is (ilpified with the title of " express trail),"
and is made to perform the distance in -One hour and
three-quarters, whilst the train stopping at the principal
stations does the journey in five hours. The quickest
journey performed by the common stage toad' was in
from five to five-and-a-half hours, yet those who are to
be accommodated with the express train are so selfish as
to 'grudge one little quarter of an hour for the conve-
nience of the public in traversing a distance of 50 miles,
which had it still to be run by coach would require three
and-a half hours beyond. Measures will surely be taken
for the correction .of an abuse so fairly open to complaint
from.a class of persons who have done much to promote
thexassing through -Parliament of Bills, by the sanction
of which the various lines have been formed.
TIMES.—The second veto message of President Tyler
clearly proves'how his mind has been made up against
all that, in the 'usual acceptation of the word, can be
called a National :Bank.. In vain have some of the de-
tails of the former scheme been modified in the hope of
conciliating the President ; he states that in his former
veto message „he declared his opinion to be against the
power of Congress to create a National Bank to operate
per se over the Union, and he now affirms that the Bank
proposed to be created by the new Bill is open to the
same objection. The details also of the measure, which
are the incidents of a Bank of Discounts in the United
States, are likewise subject to his objection. He perceives
that the right of dealing in Bills Of Exchange drawn in
one State-and payable in another, may lead to the most
objectionable form of accommodation, by drawers in one
place becoming the acceptors in another. lie uses the
following words to express his objections to another fea-
ture of the Bill :

".There is no limit prescribed to the premium in the
purchase of Bills of,Exchange, thereby correcting none
of the evils under which the oommunity now labours,
and operating most injuriously upon the agricultural
States, in which the inequalities in the rates of exchange
are most severely felt. Nor are these the only conse-
quences ; a resumption of specie payments by the Banks
of those States would be liable to indefinite postpone-
ment ; for, as the operation of the agencies of the inte-
rior would chiefly consist in selling Bills of Exchange,
and the purchases could only be made in specie or the
notes of Banks paying .specie, the 'State Banks would
either have to_continue with their doors closed, or exist
at the mercy of this national monopoly of brokerage.
Nor can it. be passed over, without remark, that whilst
the district of Columbia 'is made the seat of the princi-
pal Bank, its citizens are exeluded from all participation
in any benefit it might afford, by a positive, tarobibition
on the Bankfrorn all discounting within the district."
This part might haVe been more clearly expressed, but
its force is obvwtts, manely, that the proposed "Anal
agent" could not relieve the evils which it is designed to
counteract. Mr. Tyler also bears in mind the important
fact, that while the evils of the Bank are in its very foun
dation, the Charter would give it an existence, and that
as a monopoly, during the long period of twenty. years,
and thus render the. evils irrevocable. lie is still in hope
that some plan maybe adopted for the appointment of a
" fiscal agent," and his sanction to the repeal of the
sub-treasury shows that that did not accord with his
views; but, at all events, whatever may be the nature of
the ." fiscal agent" at last decided on, it will scarcely be
a national bank. In the meantime it may be remarked,
that the United States can hardly expect to establish
confidence abroad in their financial system till something
of a definite nature in -this respect is make known.
HERALD.—It is not necessary at present to discuss
the special causes which max have influenced the con-
duct of the President oh this occasion, inrther than to
state" that a' strong and general impression prevailed
among the community that his course and final resolu-
, time, discreditably distinguished for disingenuousness,
double-dealing and gross inconsistency throughout, were
attributable much more to private and selfish considera-
tions-than to any large, conscientious, and upright con-
siderations of public interest. Mr. Tyler, •it appears,
before his fortuitous advent to the Presidency, was a
person in very humble circumstances as regarded
fortune, and it is charged against him thit he enter-
tains the design_ of repairing this accident of an ob-
scure and unendowed social position by running
hard 'for a second presidential term of four years on
•the termination of his present holding. His intrigues
of this end, it is said, were directed to disunite the Whig
party, and by conciliating at the same time the Jackson
or Anti-Bank:party, by his hostility to a national bank,
to attach such a majority as should secure his re-elec-
tion in due time. Such are the speculations 'of the Ame-
rican press. It is a fact, which here, as everywhere else,
Will be learned with astonish/tient, and a fact neither
creditable to bins as a man or a high functionary-, that
not a single Member of his Cabinet was acquainted
with, or had the slightest intimation of the contents of,
his veto message until it had been laid before Congress.
The general tenour of the money and commercial
intelligence by this arrival in the United States, has'
already been particularised in the second edition of
the Herald today. The final declaration of the insol-
vency of that mighty institution, the old United States
Bank, ought not however to be passed over in silence.
The Directors by the assignment of all its remaining
prop rty to trustees for the liquidation of its debts have
.eusummated its now irretrievable- bankruptcy—a bank-
ruptcy more prodigious, it may be said, than ever the
world witnessed. For it is the bankruptcy of a magnifi-
cent establishment which started with a capital of thirty-
five millionS' of dollars, or upwards of seven millions
Sterling ; and so total is the wreck that' it may be
doubted if a single cent of surplus property will remain,
• after the indispensable payment of debts, for division
among the Shareholders. The famous Mississippi As-
sociation in France, or the South Sea Bubble in
this country, were not -on their final explosion to be
compared with this gigantic failure of the United States
Bank, for neither one nor the other were based upon
such a vast amount of real capital.
