The correspondent Of the Washington
Globe, from New York, says,-"The Com
monwcalth Bank, Of Boston, has closed its
doors-another example ind warning to our
working classes, how they suffer themselves
to be cheated out of their labour. by these
fraudulent institutions" This is almost too
bad from the Globe. The Commonwealth
Bank, il is well known, was the principal
Jackson bank in this cty-it was one of the
depositaries selected by Gen. Jackson for the
custody of the public money, under tire pre-
Ience that the Bank Of the United States was
unsafc-in consequence of being so selected.
and being induced by the act Of Gen. Jackson
to extend its loans beyond what it would or
could have done, if left to its own funds, it
has faled-and this bank is now pointed at
by the Globe as an example and warning to
the working classes, to beware of being
cheated by these fraudulent institutions.
The fate OF the Commonwealth Bank may
well be appealed to- as caution against con
meeting money speculations with politics, and
making banking facilities a matter of political
favoritism. 1t is this connexion which has
caused the failure of this bank. But the
Globe, which has been the leading apologist
and promoter of the measures which have
produced this disastrous result, is the last
source from which we should have expected
taunt of this kind to proGced.- Boston Pa!

The recent Pet Bank catastrophe il pre-
cisely what was prophecied by the Wing
statesmen, during General Jackson's war
against the United States Bank. Would that
they had proved less true prophets! J. O..
Adams, Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Binney,
and twenty others, foretold that the expert
ment would end in universal bankruptcy.
The Lowell Journal in alluding to the mad
projects and "cxpcriments" which hnvc bro
ken down and destroyed the commercial pros
perity ofour country, truly rcmarks:- -
1t would seem as if the touch of this at
ministration was Midas touch. Every thing
under its hand falls. The fruit of its eight
years management is read in one long chap
ter of disaster. For while, they enjoyed a
short lived triumph. The first effect of the
draught was intoxicating. They stimulated
speculation, and withdrew the check on the
State Banks. Suddenly towns aud barks
rose at their biddng-fortnnes followed the
wake Of political tavoritsm-if the regular
enterprise of the country groancd, spcculat-
! ing politicians and political olliceholders held
on their jubilee OF prosperity. They found
themselves possessed of vast sums Of money
deposited in their hands for an indefinite
period, and yielded to the tempting oppor-
tunity.
But change came, and they nre them
selves cursed with the curse which they
brought ON the whole country. Every ex-
perime mt has failed their whole financial
policy has exploded and became by word
The long impnnity which they enjoyed was
delusivc. The day Of reckoning, the evil day
which they pnt far away, HAS come. The
people, the long deceived and blinded people
now sec them III their true light.

vessels of war to remove out of gun-shot. A
large force was daily expected from Rio

vessels had been compelled to 60 or A

continually firing between the forts and YES

skirmisbes outside the City, loss not known.

II is now the policy Of the loco Focos, to
give currency to the opinion, that the only
mode of keeping the public treasure safely,
is to lock it up in the treasury and snb-treas-
urics where it cannot be used. For the pur-
pose Of giving plausible preteXt for this
opinion, they arc willing to avail themselves
Of the disastrous consequences Of their own
illegal act-,hat is the illegal act of General
Jackson, the leader of their party, approved
by them at the tme,-in removing the pub
lie money from the places Of depositc, where
it was entrusted by law, and placing it in
banks over which the laws Of the United
States have no control. When this illegal
measure was adopted, it was the policy OF the
Administration organs, TO approve of it,
There was then no intimaton by them, that
the public money could not be safely kept,
only by making it n special trust. This is an
after thought an expcdicnt for covering over,
and concealing the enornity, of the total
failure Of their own scheme. Their scheme
is now to make the people believe, that since
the public treasure has proved unsafe, when
entrusted in the ordinary form of bank de-
posites, to banks selected by General Jackson
from among his friends, Il viii be equally un.
safe, if deposited in the same manner, in the
possession of any other bank. That thi:
position is unsound, is proved by the ex-
pcrience of the government for forty years
during which not a dollar was lost through
the infdelity of the two national banks, II

Erie, Capt Dennis is the first whale ship with
full cargo of oil that has ever arrived here.
The Republican is in error. The ship Mar
,ha, Capt. Potter, which arrived here on the
3lst May last, Though not so large ship as
the Eric,) was as full as she could possibly be
filed Whether the Martha even was the
first Newport ship that ever came in J''i' we
will no, pretend to say, but that she is to be
numbered before the Erie, (in this partlcu'ar,)
is of course unquestionable.
