MR. WOODBURY,s LETTER.

we ma IN the National Intelligencer
ofthe 18th inst, the copy ofa letter from
LeviW oodbury, Treasurer of the U. s..
to some body IN New York, stating that
the Treasury Department would pro-
mote by ats limited means" the resump.
ton of specie payments by the banks,
and it further says that this is tho set.
tied policy Of the Department.
Gov. Marcy's late Messageto TO the N.
Y. legislature goes for supporting the
banks by issuing State Stock. The
New York Evening Post, the organ Of
Loco Focoism in the city, is loudly in
favor of sustaining the State Banks, and
the Albany Argus repeats the echo, and
all the small fry we presume will join
the chorus, and the result will be
"great democratic reaction"
Who that has witnessed the chameleon
policy ofthe party in power for the last
years, in reference TO the currency Of
the country, has not been amused at
the phases it has exhibited.
When the war commenced against
the United States Bank, the local Banks
were the special favori,es of the party,
every facility was offered them which
the immense patronage Of the, Govern.
ment could bestow--to enlarge their is.
sues-give currency 10 their paper, and
in all ways to promote their interest.
Then who so loud in denouncing the U.
S. Bank and lauding to the the skies the
State Institutions, as these democratic
Office holders and partisan papers2
But change came DER the policy"
When it was found that the vast resour.
ces of the government were likely 10 be
swallowed up by these uncontrolled
agents.-forthwith a new project was
started, and these favorites which had
all along received the plaudits, the un.
qualified appreciation and the whole pa.
tronage Of the government, were now
the subjects of its severest animadver-
sion and abuse. 1t was asserted by the
pampered organs Of the party, that "is
had never been in favor Of any Banks,
and particularly State Banks" The
{" Reverend Chief" Of the party, drew
some very insinuating structures about
treachery and corruption" and at once
the whole family were branded as band
of treacherous monopohsts. The new
project was a Treasury Bank, with soma
IL or $4,000 branches, which the peo-
pie were assured was the " Panacea" for
all the ills which they had suffered from
the combined wickedness Of Old Mother
Bank, and all her progeny. But this
multiplication of monopolies from 900
Banks 10 $4,000 Sub Treasures met
the rebuke oflhe people, and now tho
government and its organs talk gravely
Of sustaining the treacherous monopo.
lists
Now the plain English ofall this is,
that the party have been blindly urged
forward, as the interest and caprice Of
their leaders has dictated, while the pam.
pered press has been ever ready with
an argument to defend, ,-Akron Bal.

THE EXPERIMENT sUCCEssFUL.-Two
British Steam Packets arrived in New
York, direct from Europe, on the 23d
ult. The Sirius, in IS days from Cork,
and the Great Western, in Is days from
Bristol. The New Workers are in &C.
stacies on the occasion, and well they
may be. 1t has brought England to
within twelve or fifteen days of this
country, and will, in effect, greatly les-
sen the hazard of voyage by sea.
In relation to the Great Western, the
Journal of Commerce remarks, "Her
voyage has been nearly in straight
line across the Atlantic. The weather
has been good, except that the wind has
been ahead, and the sea rough. She
has had so little motion, that it has not
been necessary to put ba:tens on the Ia
bles, and only once has there been mo-
ton enough TO upset cups and sau.
GERS. She took in six hundred tons oi
coal, of which, perhaps, two hundred
remain"
The steam apparatus Of the Sirius is
constructed upon new plan, and her
boilers are supplied with fresh water by
distillation. "The experiment, with
this ship (as well as the other) has been
completely successful. Her passage
was rough one, and most of the way
against wind and sea. Her steam was
kept up, ana her headway without mo-
ment's interruption. Her consumption
Of fuel was at The rate of 1900 pounds
per hour, so that her stock Of 400 tons
is nearly exhausted. She had between
fifty and sixty passengers, but very lit.
tie freight"
The New Workers are to have o cele-
bration upon the occasion.

BANKING In New YoRK.-The Bill
to authorise private banking in the state
of New York, has passed both houses
of the Legislature, and has become a
law, The banks are required to keep
on hand an amount Of specie equal TO
twelve and a half per cent. Of their cap
ital. We have not seen the bill, but
from the representations of others, we
are inclined to bclive the Jaw will be at.
tended in its application. with very ben.
efcial results.
The securities fo- the payment Of the
notes, are, with the exception Of the spe-
Gle, to be one half. at the least, State
Stocks, and the remainder in Mortgages.
The notes are to be issued under the SUI
pervision ofthe Comptroller Of the State.
and endorsed by him, before they can
be circulated. In case of the failure oi
any bank to redeem its issues, the Comp
troller is authorised to redeem the notes
at par, and 10 enjoin the bank and wind
up its concerns instanter. The Banks
are obliged to make specie payments
from the day of their going into opera
ton.
Maumee express. [volume] (Maumee City, Ohio) 1837-1838, 1838-05-05

The Bill to facilitate the resumption
of specie payments, and provide for the
issue of State stock, has been defeated in
the Legislature of New -Yerk, and no
measure of permanent reliefto the banks
have passed that body, which has now
adjourned.

ELECTION IN RHODE IsLAND.-The
Wings have elected William Sprague
governor, by handsome majority, over
John B. Francis, ". b. the present in
cumbent; they have carried the whole
Senate, and two thirds Of the 70 men,
bers of the House.
Truly, these whig victories come SO
often that it is actually tiresome to re-
cord them. A slight reverse Of fortune
occasionally, would be quite refreshing,
as serving to vary the monotony. The
cities have gone, and the country has fol-
lowed, and nothing now remains to the
friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, but the for.
lorn hope Of a change Of sentiment in
favor Of his ruinous projects hope ri
diculous in itself and carrying deep in
suit to the free and enlightened citizens
Of this Commonwealth who have already
passed their judgment-aye, and car
ried it into signal execution.

Our MARINE LIsT.-Our boats run
so regularly that we do not deem it ex.
pedient 10 record their arrival and de.
parture, especially as the times when
they may be found at this place may be
learned by reference to our advertis-
ing columns, at any time. Suffice to say,
the Perry, Monroe and Gen. Wayne,
run regularly between this place and
Buffalo, the first and last making six day
and the other weekly trips. The Cham
plain will also soon make arrangements
to ply regularly between thetwo places,
as also the Newberry and several
others.
The Cincinnati and Rhode Island ply
from Detroit to Cleveland, stopping at
this port each way.
The Erie runs between the foot Of the
rapids and Detroit, leaving here every
other morning, and the Mazeppa will
soon be upon the same course, making
a daily line.
The Commerce runs from hence to
Lower Sandusky, making three trips a
week.
The Jackson, Sun, and Col. Crockett
are on the river, and will make, the for
mer three and the others two trips per
day. In short, we have boats enough
for accommodation, enough for the times
and enough to give an appearance oflife
and hustle at the whares and on the wa.
ter, and we have the comfortable assu-
rance that when business revives, there
will not be wanting boats to do it.
