MOVEMENTS OF THE ENGLISH FIyANcIERs. We
understand that Mr., Ricardo has left town for
Washington and the South, and that Mr.. ]. Horsely
Palmer viii leave tomorrow Both these gentle
men have been in our city for several weeks, and
although they have not created the gar noise that
followed Charles Dickens and his Kate, yet they
have laid the foundation ola most lasting and useful
reputation in those matters that deeply concern hui
man life.
Among the leading men of England who have
visited us, we know of none more fully entitled to
the respect and esteem of our fellow citizens than that
truly es,imable gentleman Mr.. !. Horsely Palmer
He has been long recognised as the abiding friend
of our country, and in every station he has held in
the financial world his best efforts have always been
directed in sustaining and unfolding the credit and
character of our institutions Our countrymen
abroad have always met in him kind warm wei
come He has always acted under the conviction
that the interests of England and that of the United
States in all matters of trade, commerce, currency,
and finance were identical and inseparable-and
that whatever affected one nation affect
the othcr-and the effects of his pen in sundry able
productions-as also this able testimony before a
Committee of Parliament, all evince singeness
and disinterestedness of purpose that carries
viction ard marks him truly upright man and
sound thinker-and one who looks first to the add
vancement of general prosperity before shaping his
own private ends
We are happy to learn that Mr.. Palmer has met
among our citizens here since his arrival, well
come that evinces recognition of his estimable
qualities, and we hope, as.we quite sure he will
continue to meet during his short visit to our shores
those civili,ies and courtesies VIII personal ac
quantance with him is certain to control.
TIVE SECRETARY OF THE TREAsuRY.-Some of the
presses this city, and elsewhere, have been specu
lating from time to time various coming changes
in the Cabinet a prospect of which, we have on Sc
vera occasions of late, shadowed out. The Ex
press announces il certain, that the Secretary of
the Treasury is to be superseded shortly, and even
names successor
The office of Secretary of the Treasury is at this
particular crisis, the most important post IN the Go
vernment and should be fledb by the clearest head
ed man in the nation. In former days, when the
nation in its infancy, our greatest men were
placed at the head of that Department. and in more
modern times it filled by Gallatin and Craw-
ford, all experienced and wise statesmen. OF still
later day. when the whole state of the nation has
been turning that single pivot, the currency, these
great recommendations in the incumbents, have
been in great measure overlooked Ofall offices,
this is the most difficult to fill. If from the lndca
tions thrown out, change in this Department
should occur, we earnestly entreat the President
TO look around for some man, of genius experience,
and fyplncss The common routine Of the Office can
be carried on by any practical chief clerk but TO give
efficiency TO this most important branch of the Exc
cutive government, some bright and ecipsing light
must be placed at It's head, who has talent to resus
citate the life blood of the nation.
We make these remarks only in allusion to this
particular change. En- aranf But we hardly think
Secretary Forward will go out.
THE Pay OF THE SAILORS THE EXPLORING Ex
petition We were yesterday visited by dozer
or two of the hardy sons OF the ocean, who hav,
been round the world in the Vincennes, Peacock
NC, complaining that theycannot get their pay; tina
Commander Wilkes promised they should be pait
on Thursday last and that he has forfeited his word
and so on. Mo-, every one must admit that 1t 1
rgh, and just tn poor jack tars should be paid i'm
mediatey and yet, as things run IN Congress a
present, we don't see hOW tney are 10 get tner pay
The best thing that we can advise them to do is this
There are about 220 of them they are more than
match for the 30 members of Congress let then
all go on to Washington-glve every member OF tn,
House first rate hcking-throw the Senators in for
lenyap and we, of this city, will subscribe enough
pay their expenses to Washington and back In
that way they may get their pay
If this is not economy, then we should like TO b,
shown sample OF economy. Itels with tremen dou
force against the miserable efforts of certain would
be economists and factious disclaimers in the Hons,
of Representatives; and we would advise those gen
tlemen, ere they again talk of cutting down tn
navy, to take lesson out OF the book furnished b
the gallant officers of the Vincennes
OUR NAVY PATTERN FOR CoNGREss.-Whil
many of the members of Congress are endeavorn
to cut down the appropriations for our glorious nav
making Incorporate speeches, and acting otherwi:
intemperatcy, we would call their attention TO ii
following facts, by way of example. On board tl
u. :. sloop of war, Vincennes, during three yea
and ninc months, there were only used
~ dozen Hard Cider,
8 p" Port Wine,
Champagne,

2 4" Old Cognac,
