The Sub Treasury affair has been laid on
the tahle, and every body thought this was
just laying it in the right place. 1t ap-
pears however that one portion of the COM
munity are sufferers by this movement.
Our friend Prentice, of Louisville, says he
had remarked strong current of trade
setting in favor OF the Tailors on the
strength of its becoming law, which
trade, by the way the bill has been dis
posed was all of sudden most suddenly
and most caIamltously checked. The ten
thousand disappointed expectants that
were to be, were all preparing themselves
with the proper apparel TO suit the new
appointments by the President. Penn, Of
the Louisville Advertiser, for instance, had
just ordered pair of pantaloons charac-
teristic of the dignity Of one Of Mr. Van
Buren's portable local Banks, in which
the pockets we're two and hall feet deep.
We fear the tailors must beat up trade
without coming so near gold and silver

The end Of the Gold HwnbHg at Wash
ington.--Mem bers Of Congress received
their mileage and per diem at Washing
ton, on Monday last, in District bank pa
per, Virginia notes, and Merican silver
Not only all the American gold, but even
the American silver run short. and the
Treasury department was finally reduced
TO the pitlui necessity Of buying Merriam
dollars to pay off the american Congress.
If rumor IS true, even a large amount of
he specie paid TO the members was bor-
rowed from some Of the banks in the Dis
I riot. Many ofthe members received their
pay voluntarily in hank notes, and thus
diminished the amount Of specie required
Of the Treasury Department. But such
as have been disposed 70 speculate, could
sell southwestern paper at IS 70 20 per
cent, below par, and gold or Mexican sill
yer at 6 or per cent premium, thus
making per diem allowance Of eight dol
lars into ten dollars. or twenty-five per
cent. premium. The laboring men in the

per and shin-plasiers What comment

Our NEXT PRESIDENT We learned
few days since from gentleman, who has
for some time held an important office in
Texas, and has been on terms of intimacy
with the Chief Magistrate Of that Repub-
lie, the following ludicrous fact :-"He says
that President Houston's opinion is, that
the only reason why Martin Van Buren,
opposes the admission Of Texas into the
Union, is founded on his apprehensons,
lest the Hero Of San Jacinto should aspire
to the highest office within he Gift Of the
American people, and thus defeat the re-
election of the present incumbent. Presi-
dent Houston seems to draw his differences
as to the future from the events of the
past 1t goes 70 show how low in the dust
our national character has been Frustrated,
when men Of sense and observation enter
tain such opinions of the principles and
motives which control popular suffrage

TO them-whlle on the other hand, many good men

iipeaal sn sciences, muse, painting, oratery, &c
Iheatres are surely of less immoral tendency than
tayerns, or gambling houses-these last indeed, con-
sder as the most baneful ofany witnessing the COM
munty
The Recorder excuses himself in this way he gave
his name first to obige an old and honored friend;
secondly to aid, as he then believed an unfortunate
man. on whom the hand of misfortune had been
weighlly and overwhelming.
His Honor now commented on the evidence and
thought from H. that great could be found for
Mr. Bell His Honor particularly remarked that al
though Mr.. Esler had positively sworn Bell refused TO
let him enter the room where Mr. Bennett Ham
blln were engaged-t might possibly be that Bell did
not know Eser, and on that account refused to let
him pass. AT all events there was doubt, and that
doubt Mr.. Bell was entitled to press into his favor.
His Honor then charged the jury 10 retire and dis
the matter calmly and dlspassonately and to let
whatever favorable circumstances they might disco
have their due influence in the defendants favor.
Within thirty minutes after leaving the box the jury
returned into court with verdict against all the defend
ants according to heindictment-recommend Bell
to the mercy of the court.

amounts to 8009 being increase of 929 those

neraly among children of from to 10 years of age.
Measles, scarlet fever, and inflammation in the bow

cause is mainly attributed to the impure and un-
