DEATH or MEMBER OF ouR EMBASSY AT BER-
LIS.--Dr. ARDEN, Of New York, who went to Ber-
lin with the United States embassy, was killed by
an accident on the Cologne railroad the 22d
of January. He had started to return home with
dispatches. The Now York Courier and Enquirer
says:
"M Mr.. Arden young gentleman belonging
TO the city of New York, and highly esteemed by all
who knew him. Though possessed Of much wealth,
he was ardently devoted to his profession, and the
main object Of his visit to Europe was to inspect
the medical institutions Of Germany, France, and
England. He arrived in Berlin in the suite Of Mr..
Barnard, our minister, and, after remaining short
time, proceeded for Paris, when his earthly career
was so suddenly and sadly terminated. His mu-
niated remains were taken back TO Berlin, under
the charge Of Mr.. Fay, our secretary Of Legation,
and an impressive funeral service was performed
At the English chapel, the sermon being preached
by the Rev. Mr. Belson."
Two other persons were killed at the same time,
and several were injured, including The Prince
Frederick William of Prussia.

"The Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement Of tho dangerous and exciting
: subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections. yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system Of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
'oihco ifoih ConhCung secuonai interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further Legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, 80
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this; the security Of
the Constitution requires this and every conside-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles

The CuRRxscY.-The Hon. SAMUEL d. INdHAs1,
of Pennsylvania, formerly Secretary of the Trea-
sury, has lately published pamphlet entitled
" Observations on the Currency of tho United
States" in which he discusses the matter in con-
adorable detail, and proposes the following weights
for the different coins, viz Half dollars, each to
contain one hundred and seventy five and a half
grains of pure silver, and one hundred and ninety
five grains Of standard, nine -tenths fine quarter
dollars each eighty-seyen and three grains
of pure silver, and ninety and half grains
of standard dimes, each thirty five and tenth
grains of pure silver, and thirty-nine grains of
standard; half dimes, seventeen and fifty five hun
dredths grains pure silver, and nineteen and one
half grains of standard. This reduction in the
weight of these coins will render the half dollar
ten and one eighth grains pure silver, or very
nearly 6454 per cent. lighter than the present half
dollars, and viii make the ratio of gold coins to
silver coins to 1916, and, estimating silver at
premium Of three per cent, the relative value of
gold bullion to silver bullion will be / to 1857,
leaving sufficient margin for any further rise of
silver
