MR.. wRIGHT's REPORT.

We call the public attention to the commu-
nieation which we spread before our readers
to-day, from the pen of r. M. WHITNEY,
ESQ, late Agent of the Deposte Banks, in
answer to some Of the more prominent points
of Mr.. virgins very vulnerable Report on
Mr.. Clay's Resolution. The first half of that
long and labored Report consisted of mere
compilation Of old laws of Congress touching
the kinds Of money authorized at different
times, from 1889 down to 1886, to be receiv-
ed in payment Of dues at the public Trcasu-
ry, all Of which was well enough, as matter
of history merely, but proved nothing as to
the case in hand.
The next division Of this report treated of
what had been the actual practice of the &C.
vernment, in reference TO the kinds of money
received for revenue, and entered into de-
fence of the specie circular, of the power of
discriminating under the joint resolution Of
1916, of the Sub-Treasury, Of the conduct Of
the Administration towards the Deposite
Banks, and of the whole financial policy of
the administration. 1t is to the points under
this head principally that Mr.. Whitney has d.
rcctcd his argument, and he has brought to the
subject personal knowledge of the history
of the times" to which Mr.. Wright refers, and
of the whole ground Of discussion, which no
man in the country more completely possesses.
The specious apologies and the finely spun
theories Of the report on this branch OF the
subject, dssipatc before the logic Of facts, like
mists before sun light. In the rising OF the
mist, too, the author of our troubles IS markedly
exhibited, and the due burden of the response
bility falls upon his broad shoulders. If the
banc Of that report, and this its antidote could
90 forth together, we are quite certain that
Mr.. Talmadge's prediction would be verified,
and that the numerous copies Of the former
ordered by the Senate would only serve as
wadding for the cannon that will bc used next
fall to celebrate opposition victories.

RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA.

A serious riot occurred in Philadelphia on Thurs
day evening last in the course of which Pennsylva-
MIA Hall, large and extensive building just erected,
as place for free discussion, was set on lire and
burnt to the ground The cost Of the building is es
timated at $4,000, which, by virtue of recent law,
will fall upon the State. We copy the account of
the disturbance from several Philadelphia papers,
and some extracts which will serve as clue TO the
causes Of the popular excitement.
From communication in the Phiad. Herald May Is
