tnlenHtnccr. Messrs. GALES & SEAToN :-I deem it proper to offer public explanation of some of the reasons which led to my resignation, the 1lth instant of the office of Secretary of the Navy, and for that pnr pose, ask small space in the National Integencer. : At the Cabinet meeting held on the 18th of August last, (the Attorney General and tile Postmaster Gen eral being abseni,) the subject of Exchange Bank or institution, brought forward by the President himself and was fully considered Into the particu
 lars of what passed do not propose now to enter It will be sufficient to say that it then distinctly stated and understood that such an institution me, the approximation of the President, and was deemed by him free of constitutional objections that he desired (f Congress should deem it necessary act upon the subject during tic session) that such institution should be adopted by that body and that the members of his Cabinet should aid in bringing about that rel suit; and Messrs. Webster and Ewing were special. ly requested by the President to have a communica. tiou upon the subject with certain members of Con. gress. The institution then spoken of was to be To. cated in the District of Columbia; to be authorized to establish agencies in the States and Territories with power deal in bills of exchange between the United States and foreign countries and in bills o exchange drawn in one Statao Territory and paya. ble in another State or TeTitory and the exercise of this power not to depend on any assent, ex- pressed or implied, of the States within which such agencies might be established.
 In consequence of what passed at this meeting, l saw such friends in Congress deemed it proper 10 appfOdCn, uiBcu htoh eiioh uhC poss"6c oi q bill to establish such institutions assuring them that did not doubt t would receive the approba- tion of the President. ,.t The bill was passed, the public know, and was met oy the Veto. Now if the President, after the meeting of the 18th August, had changed his mind as to the eonstitionaL power of congress, and had conf 10 doubt or deny what he had admitted in that meekng, (,vach is the most favorable interpretation that can be put upon his coaduet, was, in my opin- ion, plain duty on his part to have made knowBto the gentlemen concerned this change of sentiment to have offered them apology for the unpleasant situation in which they were placed by his agency or, at least to have softsned. by full explanation of his motives, his intended veto of measure in promoting the success of which they, at his request had rendered their assistance. But this the Presi- dent d,h not do. Never, from the moment of my leaving his house the 18th, did he open his lips to me on the subject.

 The Great Western is again with us, and the te- nor of her news is much more favorable than thai brought by the last packet. The crops turn out to be better than anticipated, and the prices have again fallen tho low to admit of the entry of much foreign wheat. The late panic therefore will have favorable effect rather than otherwise, nasmuch as that during the excitement a large quantity ad- mited at the low duty, which will now have the ef- feet of averaging low prices for the whole year This result with improvement in foreign trade will store the consumption powers of the home market, especially the ministry under Sir Ro- bert Peel have into office under circumstances calculated to allay all those political causes of inque- nde, that have so long hung over the market These facts had restored confidence the capitalists, and much improved the appearance of the money market Some increased exports ofgoods to Germany and Rus sa and the low prices of foreign stocks, had caused some purchases to be make on foreign account These movements had improved the continental ex- changes, and the closing rates are as follows: Hamburg. .l3,92 104 Rotterdam. .12,44 a Amsterdam.l2,4t A Antwerp .12,32 - Vienna. .... 9,43 a 45 Frankfort l49A a Paris. .. .25,62t a 67a

HerOd'S Birthday,

The trumpets were blown and the music was
high,
And Jewels were flashing as charots rolled by
And forms that might dazzle the eye to behold,
Array'd in rich purple, embroidered with gold;
There's festival held in the palace and tow'r,
And bright lights are cleaning from garden and
bower;
But ,ohat was that splendor so dazzlingly bright
That rival d the stars in their beauty that ght?
Twas the hall of Judea where gladness and mirth
Proclaimed to proud Herod the day of his birth,
And the pride of his kingdom have come a, his
call,
And the fair and light-hearted have entered the
hall,
And the mlnstrels are brought, and the rich wines
are poured
And mobiles have bowed at the feet of their lord
But who is that fair one on whom the proud glance
OF Herod has lit, in the maze of the dance =
So graceful he's motions, she seemed in her pride
UnrValled, to move like a swan on the tide;
And the king all delighted, has given his word,
And sworn by his sceptre his crown, and his sword
That whatee r she shall ask, her request he viii
meet,
Tho half of the kingdom be laid at her feet
1t is Philips bright daughter, who eagerly flies
To her mother for counsel, with Joy in her eyes.
But, oh! was it woman, could give or make known
Such counsel as shook the proud king on his
thone
An angel of mercy, we blush at the thought,
Twas the head of the Baptist, the stern mother
sought
See, kneeling in prison, that herald of Cod -
While those approaching, who thirst for his
blood
Bn, he smiles at the mandate which doons him
to die
For greater than Hcrod has called him on high
And his head to the beautiful dancer they bring,
And dearly thy pleasure is purchased, o king
Thy brow was nnclouded thy morning was bright
But sad was the heat of the monarch that night ;
And the angel of vengeance has lifted his rod,
And sealed thy destruction, thou mocker Of God

Commerce of Maine.

"By the last annual report ofthe Commerce and
Navigation of the United States, it appears that
the tonnage of the country has increased lOO, 839
tons during the year. The whole amount Sept
30, 1889, was 2,O96,478; the table shows pro-
gressive increase, with an occasional exception
from 1915 to 1898, when it stood at l,741 ,392
tons it then fell off to 1,26O975 tons and did
not recover itself until 1884 when it attained to
!, 758,9G7 tons and has been gradually increasing
since.
During al those periods the tonnage of Maine
and of Portland has regularly advanced, as the
following table will show
