declaration in both instances could not have been

country in regard to the objects which were to be
aimed at in prosecuting the war But the supposL

its words as to produce the impression without ma

for claims, &c, and to overthrow the existing gov.

50 much as an ayerment that such exists, We
must next have some other declaration to the
"Oejeei'' OF the war; some declaration which con.
ilicts, to conflict, with the attributed 10
General Taylor. Do we find anything Of the kind
No! The Inlelligencer has shufied up its words
as to produce the impression that it does point out
such declaration; but what ii points to is, not dec
ara,ion to what The "OSjtei" OF the war was when

LONDON MONEY MARKET, August 3,--The changes
in monetary business have been few, and the de-
sired general movement Of capital appears to be still
delayed by political circumstances, and by the I'M
certainty which now prevails the general result of
the harvest at home and abroad. The alarm which
prevailed at the time Of the harvest Of the late year
expressed in the degree on the present oc-
casIon even with almost the certainty that Ireland
will require a long Continued assistance for the
whole Of another twelvemonth; and were the grain
fully secured, the impression on business would not
be sufficient is thought to prevent the revival Of
prosperity, Notwithstanding the loss Of even con-
siderable portion of the other and inferior produce of
the ground The weather, which has hitherto been
extremely fine, changed for the worse, when thun-
der and hail storm, of uncommon severity, prevailed
almost all over the kingdom, and has, we fear, done
great damage. The harvest has yet been so partial
Iy secured, and the stake is so unusually great in
the present season. that further short period must
elapse before capitalists be expected place full
confidence in the prospects Of monetary and
tile affairs.
In the political world affairs have also improved,
the stability Of the administration being considered
to be more assured and the opposition to the pro-
posed change in the sugar duties less combined and
threatening to the power Of the minister, and the
measure is now expected to be carried, and at an
earlier time than previously supposed. II is
perceived that the present government is to be sup

The funds have been more buoyant since the

We have advices from Milan to July 81.
At Naples some sensation has been created by
cardinal, in preaching sort Of funeral sermon on
the late Pope attacking violently the king of Prus.
sin, and the present emperor Of Russia, for their
proceedings relative to the Catholic church. He
spoke also Of England, Spain, and Portugal, but
with respect; of Austria he said not word, and Of
France he spoke, upon the whole, very favorable.
1t is expected that the Russian government will
complain Of the attack upon the emperor.

that had never learnt to read; so
educated myself, and studied law at the
same time; got admitted; went fur
ther west; got into practice; got into
the Legislature; got into Congress; and
ecce sienum, here ! am in the Senate" !"
That senator is sensible, well-ln-
formed, intelligent citizen, fit for any
station. Sam Houston, senator from
Texas, is another of those rough and
remarkable gems-like the rocky and
sterile surface of the Alleghenies, full
OF mineral riches beneath. Sam was
originally carpenter in Nashville; !;
turned out the shavings from his plane
and resolved TO 60 ahead while making
grooves and mortices and mailing up
posts and sashes. He became Govern
or of Tennessee, fought as common
soldier in the Indian wars, and secured,
by his courage and perseverance, the
liberty and independence of Texas.
"There." said Gen. Jackson, having
a map of Texas before him--"There
is the Colorado; there is Bexar; there's
the Alamo! Now, If the Mexicans
separate their forces and come down
this pass, and Sam can catch 'em un-
der the brow of that range ofhills, he'll
lick 'em, and take Santa Anna. You'll
see it?'
Just as the old General predicted, so
it turned out at San Jacinto. The En-
glish would have made Sam Houston a
duke for achieving such victory. We
see the progress of events; General
Houston is in the Senate.
One dark, stormy evening, some
years ago, little after tea time, we
were coming down Nassau street, and
on turning Fulton, came upon tall
athletic man, wrapped in a blue coat.
"Who goes there?"
"a friend!" 1t was Sam Houston.
81 am going by invitation to meet
ing of clergymeD, at the corner OF Ann
and Nassau streets. to make speech
about the best mode of reforming the
Indians, come along, Major"
We did go, and heard most able
and interesting discourse, showing his
familiarity with the red men, and depre-
eating the course pursued to reform
them, by giving religion first, and then
education and industry. He was prac-
tical and convincing, but they did not
carry out his propositions. This is the
class of men we find in our senate; !;
men not made of:hand by tailor, but
fashioned by nature for perseverance,
courage and constancy.-Noah.
