SHIP HENRY EWBANK.

Decision IN the case Of the Ship Henry EN-.
bank.-G}is Honor Judge Davis gave his opinion
yesterday in the District Court in the case Of the
claimants for salvage, on the ship Henry Ewbank
and her cargo. He decided that the abandon.
ment Of the ship by her officers and crew was not
premature, as alleged by the underwriters, but,
in the circumstances of their situation, was justi-
fable. The ship, as found at sea, was clear
case of dereict property. The claim Of George
Wheelwrght, for himself and those who navigal.
ed the ship into Boston, as sole salvors, on the
ground Of new enterprise, the Judge said could
not be sustained and he expressed his regret
that Mr.. Wheelwright's real merit in the transac.
ton was tarnlshed by bis assumption Of false
position. The natural and true place for Mr..
w. was with the master and owners of the brig
Padang
The nett amount Of the sale Of the ship and
cargo, deducting expenses, would be about $780,.
600. Of this sum he decreed a moiety, viz. u.s..
600, to the salvors. The various claims set up
he reduced to two-the claim in behalf Of the Bri.
fish barque Hope, and the claim in behalf Of the
American brig Padang.
To the brig Padang, her master, officers and
crew. he decreed S9,000:-to Captain Brewster
Slss4-George Wheelwright, mate, S642-
S428 each to the seamen of the brig who assisted
in bringing in the Henry Ewbank, and S2l4 to
each Of the remainder of her crew.
To the barque Hope he decreed S6,OO0:-
$50 to the master-8255 to Metcalf, the mate
$40 to those Of the crew who assisted in ma
vigating the ship, and S85 to each of the nine
seamen who remained on board the Hope.

In the United States one is struck with the
tact, that there exists certain doctrines and Opn'
ions which have descended like their looms from
generation to generation; and seem to form the
subject Of sort of national entail most delicious
ly contrived to check the natural tendency to To-
tellectual advancement in the interiors. The
sons succeed to these opinions OF their father,
precisely as they do to his silver salvers, or gold
headed cane; and thus do certain dogmas politi.
cal and religious, gradually acquire sort Of pre-
scriptive authority, and continue to be handed
down, unsolicited to the test Of philosophical
examination. 1t is at least partially attributable
to this cause, that the Americans are given to
deal somewhat too extensively in broad and
sweeping aphorisms. The most difficult problems
Of legislation are here treated as matters on which

CIRCULAR EXTRAORDINARY.

We have received and hasten to lay before
our readers. the annexed copy Of the Circular
which the PRzsIDBNT's Agent, Mr.. AMOS KEN

New York american.
AUGUST. 1885.
SIR:-l have been appointed BY the Secretary
OF the Treasury, at the request Of the President
Of the United States, to confer with the State
Banks in relation to future deposltes aud distri.
button Of the public revenue.
1t is deemed probable by the Government,
that the Bank of the United States will not be
rechartered, and that no other institution will be
established by Congress to supply its place as
Agent TO the Treasury.
As it is now less than three years to the expi.
ration Of its Charter, the President thinks it his
duty to look to the means by which the service it
now renders to the Government is hereafter to be
performed, and If sufficient reasons shall exist,
the Government may desire to employ another
Agent, or Agents, at an earlier period.
The sole object of my appointment is, 10 as
certain on what terms the several State Banks
may be willing to perform the service now rem.
dered BY the Bank of the United States to the
Government, should il become necessary or ex.
ped,ent TO employ another Agent, or other
Agents, that the Secretary of the Treasury may,
in that event, be able to make judicious selec.
tiOu.
In pursuit Of this object, have the honor to
inquire whether the Bank over which you pre-.
side, is DESTROYS, should a change take place, Of
undertaking that agency, or apoet,on Of it, at
IL this inquiry should be answered in The az
frmative, am authorised to communicate with
you further on the subject.
1t is, however, to be distinctly understood,
that nothing which may pass is to be considered
a pledge on the part of the Government, to re.
move the dpposltes from the Bank Of the United
States. before the expiration Of its charter, or
to employ your Bank in any event, or to make
any final arrangements upon the conditions which
NAV nov be proposed or received.
If il be convenient, shall be happy to know
the disposition Of your Board Of Directors On
the subject; if not, will you do rae the favor to
give me your own, leaving an expression Of the
wishes of the Board to some more convenient
opportunity. Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,
