The following notice appeared in the New
York papers last Saturday:
"The Mechanics, Merchants, Manufacture.
and other Citizens Of the City ofNew York, wbG
disapprove of the recent removal of the Pnbic
Deposites from the Bank of the United Stat
and who are in favor of a sound currency h.,
means of National Bank, are invited 10 A.
semble in the Park, front Of the City Hall m
Saturday, 9Th February, at II O'clock to delibe
rate on the measures necessary TO be adopted IL
avert the pecuniary distress which now threat
ems all classes Of the community"
The result will be seen by the following from
the New York American:

The deputaton proceeded to the palace, ar
rayed in their robes, as peers, add having OBJ
tanned an audience of the Emperor, the petition
was read by the Marquis of de Louie Pedro
again expressed his ignorance OF the proceed
ing, and his regret that the warrant ofarTest had
been carried into effect in mode which was de-
rogatory to the peerage. The deputation eX-
planned that they did net complain Of the Cir
cumstances attending the arrest but Of the ar
rest itself which was a gross violation of their
privileges, however politely or decately it might
have been executed. The interview terminated
by Pedro promising that ample satisfaction
should be made. After they had withdrawn,
a Council of the Ministers was held, which is
said to have lasted till midnight. On the follow
ing day they again assembled twice to delibe-
rate on the matter, and the following official re-
DIV to the remOnstrance Oflhe Peers appeared
in the ChrOnlcd OF the 10th:
DEspAcHo-The order for the Imprisonment
of the Count of Taipa issued by the Criminal
Magistrate of Bairro Alto, and by this present
despatch recognjzed and confirmed was the ne
cessary consequence Of his regular Indictment.
If the accused has any thing to allege in his de-
fence, or fany Noble Lord feels himself aggriev-
ed in his rights, he can make use Ofthose means
which the laws allow. Their invoabity, as
marked out in the 25th article of the Charter,
will be scrupulousy preserved. AS to the De-
cree the 10th of July, 1882, as it made no dis
tnction of persons it. Of course, includes all;
for by the 145th article Of the Charter, sec. H.
the law is the same for all whether for protec
ton or for Observation-Disclosures of the Necess
dades, 9th of December
JozE DA SILVA CARvALHo
1t appears (says the Liverpool Chronicle) that
the offence of Taipa is the publication of a let
ter to Pedro, in which he denounced the pro-
ceedings of the Ecclesiastical Commission for
the suppression of Religious Houses. The let
ter was couched in strong language, and appli-
ed the terms Pope" and " Profane Counsel
lori to the President of the Court. This led to
his being represented as an agent ofMiguel, and
warrant was Immediately issued for his appre-
tension. The Peers are more enraged than
ever at the terms of the ministerial reply to their
address, and when the Ann Paley sailed, they
we're met for the purpose of preparing still
more urgent remonstrance.

The Globe of yesterday says:

On this subject an intelligent friend well
asks:--Will the Globe tell us what he means by
accommodating the current exchange business
Of the mercantile conumunity"? Is it the meT:
selling of checks upon this "credt to The
North" i. e. the public money, at premium
or is it, as it should be, by discounting gooG
bills drawn on the Northern cities at so days,
predicated on shipments of produce? We thinL
the Globe must mean the former shaving ope-
ration for it is fact that the Bank of the Ne
tropolis has been unable or unwilling for tn

tile community in any other way, at least Oh

The election of Mr. TAzEwELL as Governor OF

whatever his political sentiments may be, he is
gentleman of talents, discretion and judy

tain and defend his own opinions, he will not
be likely, on any occasion, to compromit the
honor of the Commonwealth by an indiscreet
use of these opinions AS far as mere party po-
litics are concerned, Mr.. Tazewelrs election

Extract from an Address delivered before the
Washington Benevolent Society at Ports
mouth (N. H., July 4, 1S12-by DANIEL
WEBSTER.
"With respect to the War, in which we are
now involved, the course which our principles
-eou;re us to pursue, cannot be doubtful. 1t is
now the law Of the land, and as such we are
bound to regard it. Resistance and insurrec-
ton form no parts of our creed. The dlscl-
niles of Washington are neither tyrants Ia pow
or nor rebels out. five are taxed to carry on
this War; we shall disregard certain distinguish
ed examples, and shall pay. If our personal
services are required we shall yield them to the
precise extent of our constitutional liability
AT the same time, the world may be assured
that we know our rights and shall exercise
Them We shall express our opinions on this,
as on every measure of government, | trust
without paSSion-I am certain without fear
We have vet to learn that the eXtravagant pro-
sress of perniciouS measures abrogates The du-
Nv of opposition, or that the interest of our ma
tive land is to be abandoned by us, in the hour
of her thickest dangers and sOrest necessity
By the exercise of our constitutional right of
suffrage, by the peaceably remedy of election,
we shall seek to restore Disdom to our Coun-
ellis and peace to our Country"
