DU BUQUE VISITOR.

are kept united, should be devolved
on board of officers, organized speci-
ally for that purpose, or on the navy
board attachedto the navy department.
All my experience and reflection
confirm the conviction have so often
expressed to congress, in favour OF an
amendment of the constitution, Which,,
will prevent, the election of the pre-
cent and vice president Of th.- United
States devolv;ng on the house of rep
resentatives and the senate: and I
therefore s ses leave again to solicit
your attention to tie subject. There
were various other suggestions in my
last annual message, not acted upon,
particularly that relating to the want
|of uniformity in the laws Of the district
|of Columbia, that are deemed worthy
of your favorable consideration.
Before concluding this paper, l think
lit due to the various executive depart
ments to bear testimony to their pros
porous condition, and to the ability
and integrity with which they have
been conducted. 1t has been my aim
to enforce in all of them vigilant and
faithful discharge of the public bust
ness, and it is gratifying to me to be-
lieve that there is no justcause of COM
plant from any quarter, at the manner
in which they have fulfilled the obj
ects of their creation.
Having now finished the obserya-
tons deemed proper on this, the list
occasion. Ishall havc Of communicating
with the two houses Of Congress at
their meeting, l cannot omit an express
sion of the gratitude which is due to
the great body of my fellow citizens,
in those partiality and indulgence l
have found encouragement and sup
port in the many difficulties and trying
scenes through which it has been my
lot to pass during my public career
Though deeply sensible that my cxer-
tons have not been crowned with a
success corresponding to the degree
of favor bestowed upon me, l am sure
that they will be considered as having
been directed by an earnest desire TO
promote the good Of my country; and
am consoled by the persuasion that
whatever errors have been committed
will find corrective in the intelli-
gence and patriotism of those who
will succeed us. All that has occur
red during my administration is calcu-
lated to inspire me with increased con-
fdence in the stability of our institu-
tons; and should l be spared to enter
upon that retirement which is SO suit
able to my age and infirm health, and
SO much desired by me in other re-
spects, l shall not cease to invoke
THAT beneficient Being to whose prov
|idence we are already SO signally in
debted for the continuance of his bles-
sings on our beloved country.

EXTENSIVE AND SINGULAR FORGERY AND
EMBEzzLEMENT. For several months,
strong suspicious have been entertuined by
one ar two Of the hanks in this city, of the
counrerieiiing and embezzlement of their
bills, aud unwearied have been their exer-
tions 10 find out the guilty person. These
efforts have proved unavailing until one
day last week, when twenty dollar bill on
the Fulton Bank was offered al the store of
Jones, Lows & Ball, which, from the bad
quality of the paper, they presumed TO be
counterfeit, and they Immediately proceed
ed to the bank and ascertained that though
il was evidently struck upon the same plate
with the regular bills of the bank, il had
never been issued from that institution.
The person who passed the bill WAS Mr..
Robert Neale, bank note printer, who had
formerly been in The employ aud confidence
ofihe New England Bank Note Co. but
had more recently established himself in the
same business in School street. A search
warrant was Immediately procured, and in
Neale's house were found Bank Notes to
the amount Of $4,000, which Neale had
struck off on good paper while in the en-
ploy of the Bank Note Co.-sume of them
fillen up with signatures so good as almost
Ia defy the detection of the officers of the
hank. Neale had probably passed great
number of similar bils-and the one he
attempted 10 palm off upon Jones, Lows &
Ball. which was printed upon mere tissue
paper, was probably intended as a feeler,
in order tn see whether that kind of paper
which does not cost one quarter so much
as good bank note paper-would go dnwn
with the business community. This fool
ish attempt at speculation in business
where his profits were sufficiently large, ns
we should suppose, to satisfy the hungriest
scoundrel in the land, was the cause of his
detection. He has pretended to make full
confession, and declares he has never at
tempted To pass one of the bills before.
His brother, who resides in New York, is
suspected of being an accompllce, and Off
GERS have gone on 10 arrest him. As Neale
has been employed to priut notes for seve-
raj of the banks since he set up business for
himself, it is supposed that he has stricken
off an indefinite amount, and sent them on
to his brother in New York, to he filled out
and passed.
Neule is an Englshman by brih-a man
of fine appearance, and has considerable
circle of friends. He was married to an
amiable woman several months since, and
his domestic relations were of the happest
description. He had the entire confidence
of the Bank Note Co. while in their employ,
and was considered one Of the best bank
note printers in the country. He has been
bound over, we presume, in sufficient sum
to secure his trial at the Municipal Court.

PENNSYLVANIA Reform CONVENTION
A very interesting discussion is going on in
this body at Philadelphia respecting the
banks. The abuses Of the system are
thoroughly exposed, and the necessity OF
correcting its vices and faults strongly urg-
ed On the other hand recent events have
given the bank advocates encouragement,
and they openly denouoce all attempts al
reform. Mr.. Brown, of Philadelphia, the
other day Handsomely defended the Demo-
cratic party from the imputation Of wishing
to destroy The banks. He said
1.-The question before the Convention is
whether there are defects in the present
banking system, and whether additional re-
strictions are called for. No member had
da -cd-none would dare to allegc here tina,
no Improvements could be made-thst no
restrictions were necessary. But members
attempted to raise false issue; they at
tempted to make it n question whether there
ought to be any banks and corporations at
all, when 10 truth there was not single
member in the Convention opposed to n
well regulated banking system.
at was said the democratic purty was
the author. the parent Of the banks in Penn
sylvanis. Be it so. Was it not proper
that the parent should judiciously rear its
ofspring--thst it should correct its vices
and faults 70

lowed on the same side, and If we had room.

A rare chase came off in Water street
yesterday afternoon-a man who had taken
too much of the mountain dew, wanted to
leave his dwelling, and get fresh supply,
contrary 10 the remonstrsnces of his wife.
AT first she coaxed, then threatened. He
iaised his fist, aud she replied by hitting
him IA fair one-two,' and actually kicked
him up stairs. In minute afterwards,
however, he broke loose. and ran down the
street, she after him, as far as Congress
street, where she overlook and collared
him. She held him firm, IN spite of his
struggles, in true Amnzonian style, and
led him back in triumph, amidst the cheers
of numerous spectators. Boston Post

UNITED STATES BANK.-The Albany
Evening Journal is out upon Mr.. Biddle
for refusing to aid the efforts Of the State
Banks to resume specie payment The
Journal says (nnd it is a bitter whig.)
But that the bank of the U. States
from which we were looking for health
ful, sound cur rency, should resist the meas
ure designed to accomplish that object, is
indeed matter for surprise and regret
The public will soon loose both their re-
spec: for. aud their confidence, in, Uni
ted States Bank which refuses to aid the
efforts of the State Banks in rcestabishing
specie basis for their paper circulation.
The American people will not allow in
convertible paper TO be imposed upon them
as currency, any longer than the ex-
igencies Of the times and the condition of
the country, require such n sacrifice from
them. 1t is generally understood that the
United States Bank has been coining mon
ey during the past two years. Its reluc-
tance to exchange portion of that coin to
redeem its faith and discharge its duty to
the public, will be fruitful subject of re-
mark and inquiry."
