A project has bee;’, started by tho Mobile Ty pographical Association, to erect, in conjunction with other societies throughout the Union, a monument to the memory of Franklin. It is pro posed to be located at Washington, and to be reared exclusively by appropriations from printers. We understand that the crops generally be tween Halifax and Wilmington, N. 0., give pro« miso of an abundant harvest. The corn crops Ate said to be extraordinary. ‘•r-- The Mechanics’ Bank of New York, has de. dared a dividend of five per cent, for the last six months, payable on and after the first of August proximo. •A HeW Whig paper, entitled the Whig Ad vocate, has been established in Maysville, Ky.

The London Herald says, that the principal American houses which suspended payment have been able to liquidate their liabilities, to an extent far exceeding their most sanguine expectations. The fortune left by Prince Talleyrand is said to amounlto between eight and nine millions c l francs —nearly two millions of dollars.

From the New York Express. Money Market. The money market of this city may be said tt be easy—for those who have what is considers sufficient securities, that is, a man can borrow money enough, if he has what is money to pledgt for tho loan of it. For such security, money indeed is seeking an investment, or rather money is seeking a change in the form it has. Tho monied men are pulling their feelers out cau tiously. Having been bitten sadly, many nl them, by the rage fur note shaving, when all sorts of notes were shaved, provided the interest was high enough, they have now rushed to the other extreme of ultra caution, which, however, is rapidly giving way to a confidence in sound businodS transactions. This caution is a natural rcsufilof the disposition that existed a year and a half ago to run extreme risks, and when it gives way, us it undoubtedly will to hand file business paper, business will again flow in its natural channels. The day is (ar off when monied men will again discount any sort ol paper, provided the interest promised is large enough, I here is a great deal of capital with us now awaiting an investment. Some of it is employ ing itself in Treasury notes : some in State stock , and some in Bank slocks. As yet it does not to any great extent seek those investments which are likely to interest and employ the great masses of the community, the middle and the laboring classes, —but as it exhausts itself in stocks, it will go into more practical operation. The man ufacturing establishments of tho city and coun try are yet in a very languishing stale lor the I want of money, and the want of the demanded means of raising money. Thus the laboring classes have no sensible relief, though there is now* no great actual suffering. Manufacturers, the fact is, have in a great many cases taken to farming, particularly in New England and New York. Os building, there is but little going on, for a city so large as ours. The up.town lots are but lots yet, though there is an actual demand lor dwelling houses lor tho accommodation of people. As for the shops, and stores, their time is not to come till May next. When capital takes a turn to set tho springs of industry in motion—to push forward onr Hail Roads, to extend our city, to set tho workshops again in motion, that is, when credit and confidence are restored, the laboring classes will then have tho benefit of llio easy money market, of which we speak. Exchange on London to day was 108 to 108}, and this for tho packet to morrow, hut not much was doing. The approaching resumption of specie pay. ments by the banks of Pennsylvania, leading in their train tho banks of tho South and West, continues to operate favorably upon the Domes tic Exchanges. In connection with this resump tion, capitalists are also directing their attention the the purchase of Southern and Western Funds for the purpose of a temporary investment. When the discount is great as on Mobile and Mississip pi, the profit would be very large, but the capital ists arc wary of their Funds, us the time ol re sumption is considered very uncertain. For New Orleans, Charleston, Virginia, Baltimore, and Savannah Funds, there is some avidity. The Nashvilje Whig of the 9th says:—Tho Bank of Tennessee is checking at 10 per cent, in Tennessee money,to which her doposites wc un derstand are confined. A small fund in the Bank of the 11. States was checked for* few <!•»••»-te lly V caiman, Woods & Co. at 10 p. ct. The Planters’ Bank continues to check in small sums at the same rate lor her own paper. All tho old hanks are giving twelve months P. Notes on Philadelphia for their papet; and it is probahlo the new bank will fall into the same arrangement. The brokets rales of Exchange have undergone no change since Friday. We learn by notices posted up in the old hanks, that the practice of discounting notes by tho Ex. change committee will be discontinued after the Ist of August. All renewals thereafter must be laid hofore the hoard. From the New York Whig, July 20. City. TuunsnAY Evening. The sales were light today at the Exchange Board. They were a little over 2300 shares of nil sorts. United States Bank stock opened at 121 on ninety days. Tho cash price did not gel higher than 120. The rate closed however at 120 on lime. Tho North American Trust and Banking Company is to go into operation, we presume, in a few days, as the elections for officers have been held. Wc see that Joseph D. Beers is the Presi dent, Mr. Van Schaick the Vice President, and Walter Mead Esij, the Cashier. Tho American Exchange Banking Company has been organised with a view to accommodate our merchants in getting their distant paper done. When these concerns get going, the ruinous tales on Mobile, Natchez and Nashville will disappear, if they arc conducted, as wo hope they will be, on proper principles and with a view to benefit the cornmn i uily. By tils by, talkt."£ of hanks, the brokers are complaining that the Slate Bank in this city should enter the market and buy up the Wes tern Safety Fund money at 4 percent. Asa class, they do not like the monopoly of exchange. They cannot enter into competition with such a monster, and bok with an evil eye on its doings. How natural it is for us to find fault when our interests are afl'ccted !—The brokers, however, should remember that tho merchants are the larger class of the two, and according to our institutions the interests of the majority must i first he consulted. The State Bank is mercifully doing at 4 per cent, that which the brokers would charge from §to 1 per cent. It is a sort of U. 8. Bank, whose sphere of action is the slate of New York. It is precisely on the principle of reducing the exchange and price of foreign hank notes that we arc the advocates of a National Bank. The good now done by tho State Bank to the mercantile community, is therefore praise worthy. Whether it has the right to deal in notes ol other banks or not is of no consequence to us. Rail Road Contuaci's.— Wc understand, i says the Columbia Tele-cope of the 21st inst. that on Ibc recent visit to this place of the Presi , dent and chief engineer of the Louisville Cin cinnati and Charleston Railroad Company, they , succeeded in making contracts for the construc tion of the remaining portions of the road from Columbia to Charleston, extending IVorn Me -1 | Cord’s Ferry, on the Oongaroo, to Braneltville, | I a distance of about 40 miles, at rales nl or below '! the estimates of the engineers. When tho first 1 contracts were nfi'ered on this road, there was ve ry little competition and few bidders. But with the progress of the work, has sprung up a spirit, which promises to carry it through with a hecom _ ing zeal and energy. Our planters are coming forward and taking contracts on the mo-t satisfac >' lory terms. It has been demonstrated that our ) slaves are well calcula ed for this description ol , j wotk—furnishing a species of labor which can ho j advantageously employed at all tea-o ,s .ol the j year, and to any amount the wants of the compa ;j ny may require.

Referring to the foregoing intelligence from England, the New York Express of Thursday, 2, P. M.eays:—"The letters from the British manufacturing districts are written in a more cheerful tone, as we learn hy the packet to day, many orders having been received from America, which had set a great many laboring men to woik. At Manchester, Leeds, and Leicester the most decided improvement has taken place in the American trade, and the manufacturers were be ginning to lose sight of (he late difficulties in the American money market, and speak now princi pally upon the prospects of the country os to the harvest, as the most influential aft’air to bo kept in view. W e see a good deni of apprehension expressed among some of the intelligent British journalists, as to the state of the crops, and the influence of a failure upon the money market. The favorable weather previous to the sailing of the packet has relieved this apprehension, but not quieted it. The failure of the wheat crop is an alarming ca lamity to the British people.—The inference is undeniable, from the fact of high prices in March last, that the crop of last year was very deficient; and the fact does not seem to bo denied bj the agriculturists that the stock of grain to meet the consumption up to the next harvest is exceedingly small, and they do nut conceal their fears that, ere the harvest is realized, prices will so rife as to cause a largo influx of foreign corn. What would follow if these fears were realized, wo know full well; a large exportation of gold, unfavorable exchanges, difficulty in procuring discounts, ami general embarrassment, both agricultural and commercial.

We now sec, by an advertisement in the Philadelphia .17. S. Gazette of yesterday, that the Company has been formed, with a capital of £200,000, and a highly respec table Direction. The Engineer of the Company is William Strickland, Esq. of Philadelphia. The object of the Company is declared to bo to extend to the United States of America, the iwl y«iu.igco i»r mu Afijumut* oi OeysKcll, for which Mr. Claridge has a patent in England, where it has been introduced under high patronage and with decided success. The employment of the Asphalte owes its ori gin to the important discovery of an extensive Mine (the only one possessing the same materials ns yet known to exist) in Pyrimont, Scyssell, in the department DcL’Ain, France, on the banka of the Rhone, whore it is found in inexhaustible abundance. The proprietorship of this Mine is vested in a Company in Paris, who have granted to this Company an exclusive privilege (or the supply of the material to the United Stales. Mr. Strickland, who has just returned to Phi ladelphia from Europe, intends to take an early opportunity of enabling the public to judge of the efficacy of pavements made of the asphalte. The Gazette states that Mr. Strickland has brought home with him the model of a vessel and its machinery, to be propelled by steam, with a screw instead of paddle wheels. The screw is placed in the bottom of the vessel, over the keel, near the stern, and will propel the vessel at a rale of from four to eight miles an hour, as exhibited in experiments upon the Thames.— Halt.

A fracas occurred at St. Marks on Tuesday evening last, which resulted in the death of one person, and serious injury of several others. The particulars as far as vve have been able to nscorlain, it seems, are those, a man named Brown, a shopkeeper, had made some remarks against a female of the place, and for which the hands on board the Steam er Izard, tiireatened to punish him. Accord ingly in the evening limy in company with otliers, went to the store of Brown, ho hcar thern coining, fastened his door, and armed himself with a Bowie Knife.

I Altl SfliAM CoMMI'MICATIOM BETWItK INli ' v Voi,k a "“ Bata km ah.—The following „ f u B8 e *|ions us a conespondont arc entiiled to immediate consideration. The want ot a cum ’ fi »'t n Wo daily communication hot weon this city ’ Charleston, and other Northern cities, is • seriously oxperienccil, pßrliculutly in winter, when the influx of travellers from the North for this city and the South, makes despatch as well ' ns comfort so desirable to the man of business " a “d hie invalid. The popular route from Charles. lon la the North, will probably ho the route via W ilmington, which, when a rail rontl is cr-nshuct ed Irorn Wilmington to Charleston, or even Georgetown, S, C. will be accompanied with little risk to the traveller. The boats, suggested • by our correspondent, could leave fSavannah and Charleston at such a lime as to make the voyage by daylight, while no such coast ns that of N. Carolina, or the dangerous Capo of Hattcras ■ would have to be passed. The Post Office Do pattniunt nuvv pay $ 15,000 for the transportation 1 of the mail between this city and Charleston. 1 his sum could be given to the proprietors of 1 ; these Steam Boats, lor the mail would then he expedited several hours. Its arrival, if the hoals left early in the morning, would ull'ord the mor i cantile community of hoth cities ample lima to j answer loiters hy return of the boat. The cons ycnienco to the merchants of the interior having I business with both cities, would he great, and ho j stripped ol that uncertainly of speedy convey ( ance, which a steam packet, but once a week and transient boats now cause, Tho scheme is feasible, and it rests with the citizens ol Savannah to start n subscription hr an enterprise, which will link us closer in coni' municatiou, as we should he, with other commer cial cities. \Ve arc threatened with the loss of .fifty l ™ o mails in the year. Let ns show the Post Master Cencral that so far from being dia. posed to he thrown out ol tho regular lino of intercourse, that we can lie far ahead of many more favorable communities than the proscribed commercial city of Amos Kendall, P. M. (i. Io the Editor of the G corgi ail . Dkau Sin—by publishing the following you may perhaps prove instrumental in obtaining for Savannah early next fall— .l ilni/i/ communication vil/i. ,/VVw York, at an outlay of only one hundred and twenty thou* sand dollars. Let a subscription list bo opened at once, to purchase or have built, four Steam Bools, which would enable us to run n boat daily from this to Charleston, and from that city 1 believe there is now an opportunity daily by Steam Boats to New York direct, or by the way of Wilmington or Norfolk. Four suitable boats, I am told, could be put on tho line, at an expense of not over thirty thou sand dollars each—the mail contract could no doubt ho had at ten thousand dollars, which would boa fair interest on the whole investment, and if the fare were reduced to three nr live del, lars, there would certainly he passengers enough to pay expenses. With lour hoals wo might rely upon a daily communication with Charleston, and each hoot would have a spare day. in cither city, to dis. charge and take in freight or to repair damages. The chance for loss of life by shipwreck would he velV small, ill (to* way 1 tmitum, to run tho boats, for they would leave cacti place at tho same hour in rhe morning, pass midway and ar rive before night—which would give the passon gers, in case of accident, certain relief in fifteen hours, and if tho accident occurred in the first part of the voyage they would ho relieved in seven hours. There may he some difficulty in procuring enough subscribers at this time, but I think wo may overcome every obstacle, hy a little INDUSTRY &.

Some of the sufferers, cast houseless on •he inhospitable and barren shore, without food and water, and almost wit hout raiment to cover their sun-burnt and lacerated forms, soon found these kind friends, among stran i gers, ministering to their wants with untiring benevolence. And if’ in this world the re~ i ward of good deeds is sometimes postponed, , most surely will it crown the future destiny of i those true Christians who literally clothed the r raked, fed the hungry, and bound up the 1 wounds of the afll cted. And to this highest of all rewards the undersigned leave their ben efactors, with the utterance of the warmest thanks which gratitude can utter, or ccncvo -5 lence receive. ’ To Captain Davis, however, ot tho schr. • “Henry Catnerdon,” they feel constrained to r acknowledge a high and imperishable debt of gratitude. Ills arm, under Heaven, saved them, after a prolonged and unutterably terri , scene ol suffering, at a moment when despair was fastening upon every heart, and physical strength was sinking under the cravings of 1 hunger ami thirst.

Baltimore, July 4, IS3B, From the blew York Slur. The Coronation of Queen Victoria. A few days since,& all the United Kingdom of'Grcal Britain urns in commotion, and eve, ry part of tier happy islands resounded with joy at the gorgeous ceremony which set’.led ott her throne another female sovereign. ‘Now universal England getteth drunk, and in her happy inebriety, re-echoes with songs, as did the Roman plmpire when Horace wrote. ‘Nunc cut bibcndutn, nunc pede libero Pulsandi tellus!’ No 'half crownalion’ this, but a spectacle, doubtless with which John Bull himself, with all his taste for gorgeous display, was abun dantly satisfied. But who, alas, now that the famous chronicler of subtleties, Sir Walter Scott, is no more, can he found capable of giving to the public a taithful and minute de scription of tbc imposing spectacle ! We can think of hut one properly qualified—the author of Phil ip Augustus. Alas, the young and virgin Queen! how little she knows of the toils, the pains, mays imp the dangers to which her elevated situa tion is exposed. Perhaps she lias tasted al ready of some of the griefs instore for her; the coldness of form, the stiffness of etiquette, the necessity of repressing every emotion which renders lovely the charming sex, the lonely, solitary nature of her rank, paralysing the free current of her soul. Happy it will be, if pride and ambition alone arc her ruling passions. It is now many years since Eng'and has known the sway of a female sovereign. But ofull countries England lias best established the truth that females can reign well and wisely. Perhaps there may he something in the chivalrous feelings for which the British have ever been renowed, that may make the . government of a female more agreeable to the governed, and thus es course more ea«y for herself. Certain it is, that under female soy-* creigua England has made bolder s'rides in power, literature, and wealth, nl the same tirno that she has often suffered without a murmur more despotic rule, than has ever been made or suffered under kings in a correspond nig state of society. Who ever telt more than Elizabeth, the might, majesty, and glory of regal stale ? Who ever exacted Iroin her people and ministers a more deferential res pect and compliance with her will] And what sovereign ever left in the bosom of her subjects a greater love and reverence 1 Her strong mind and commanding spirit raised England’s prosperity and tamo more than a century, passed under the reign of such sove reigns as proceeded her. Again; what conn" try would have borne from a king, in a simi lar stale of society, the bigotry and religious j persecution that characterized the reign of her sister and predecessor, the bloody Mary ! Philip could never have carried the same measurer. even had he not been a foreigner, and hud he possessed lull regal power. It is pleasing to the student of English his j lory to dwell on the reign of Elizabeth. I n dcr her :;way we see the power, the glofy, nnd the genius of p great nation hurst, no h were, into existence. Wo behold tho empire of wisdom—true not unalloyed with human *• passion and human fruit., hut nevertheless •' ! so* h wisdom us England had never before n l en'pyud. Ehzibeth «va;, a woman of tbs 1 stronger! etn rgiffe, and the must unconqu m bio resolution. If wo contrast the arts and 1 sciences, the literature and fine arts of her reign with those of the present nay in Eng* land, wo are surprised at the sudden impulse given to letters by her influence, and although of course, we see a vast difference in science, yet in literature at, least, we must confess that modern writers exceed tlic author's of her ago more in the quantify than the quality of their compositions. Khnkspeare ol himself, wan a sufficient ornament ot any period to diffuse around his time an ample glory. But Spencer added his delicious strains to cele brate the virtues of the Virgin Queen, and many a name, damni et cenerabile, among her counsellors and statesmen, lias stamped on her reign the well known title of the Elizabelhian period of English literature. But the times were 100 hard, the mind* of men yet too rude, not in England, but m her own northern kingdom, for the beautiful, the accomplished, the amiable Queen of Scots Alas, that so foul a blot as the tragic death of that lovely and bitterly traduced lady, should slain the illustrious reign of the powerful Eliz abeth. It is a lesson to mankind, that woman tbsugli she may assume the character of man, ami govern men, can never lose the character istic weakness of her sex. The reign of Anno is a brilliant period in the history of letters—a splendid example of the dignity and effect with which women can rule, in a stale of society somewhat different from that existing in England during the reign of the sovereigns before mentioned. The pe riod during which shn occupied Iho British throne was marked by some of the most dis tinguished names that adorn English history. Swift and Pope were ornaments to her reign, and frequenters of her Court. Steel and Ad dison lent the bistro of their genius to polish tin' age in which ihey lived, and a host of oth er lights illumined the literary and political horrizon. With the exception of the short period du ring which the Moody Mary held the English throne, female reigns have over, therefore, been fortunate for Brilian. Indeed, in every coun try which has made any advances towards re finement and polish, wo find the gnverrtrnerit of Queens characterized hy brilliant success and solid advantages. And whether we pursue the history of tho reigns of Elizabeth and Ann of England, of Is abella of Spain, Maria Theresa of Austria, or Catharine of llnssin, we are tilled with admira tion at. the skill and svisdoin displayed, when called into exercise by the lorco of circum stances, by the sc.\, whose abilities we are apt to despise. And now England rejoices under another feiiinlo reign—yumig and lovely, purchance a j fairy Queen may have arisen to enchant (ho world. Will she prove an Elizabeth, a Mary, or another Ann ? Perhaps better than all of these, she will unite their virtues, and in the name of Victoria, will he joined all the g’ories which shod so bright a tight over the memories of her female predecessor*. Tins is n question for time to determine. Still we repeat, what ever the event, the lot of tho governed in like ly In he happier limn that, of the sovereign. “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown, are words which Shakespeare has put into the , mouth of a great monarch, and though tho turbulent times in widen ho reigned undoubt edly made government a more difficult and dangerous task, yet even now in this peaceful age, the mere weight of forms, the detail and policy of tho cabinet, would, we should fear, be too groat a burthen for a young and inexpe rienced female. Nevertheless, sudden and great changes in life frequently bring into full play many of those faculties which strengthen and elevate the mind, while they display char actor in its most exalted and dignified positions and lulled in tho peaceful bosom of continued ease, wo are frequently unconscious of the possession of talents and capabilities, which are alone revealed to our own astonished eyes and the wondering gaze of others, hy the pow erful alembic of adversity or unlocked for prosperity. Londont iw 1837.—The amount of money ta ken from drunken persons and restored to them when they became sober, was £8,470 in 1836, and £9,430 in 1837.

A French fleet is filling out at Tobloti, destin ed lot Mexico. The Tritort was to sail immedi ately. The corvettes Indicium and Perle are preparing to sail with as little delay as possible. The Volago and Zehic brig were to follow. Th# brig 1,0 Dupctit, Thouars and the brig Voltigucr have already sailed. It is said the Hercule, with the Prince de Joinvillo on hoard, had been order ed to join the blockading squadron on the Mexi can coast. An interesting account is recorded in tho Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of nu operation performed by Dr. Lewis of Boeto i, by which the deformity occasioned hy the loss of a part of the upper jaw and a portion of the lower lip of the patient was remedied. 'Flic sufferer had sustained the loss from u blow inflicted hy a whale, which left him in a dreadfully multilalod condition. Dr. L. above named restored the lip, and Dr, Har wood supplied an artificial palate and setof teeth, by which the deformity was almost en tirely corrected, and the young man on whom the operation was prcforrnad is enable to ar ticulate* nearly as well as ever. Independent ly to which such skill must give rise, tlieso gentlemen will bo well rewarded for what they have done, by tho consciousness of hav ing restored a fellow being to the ability of enjoying an existence which must otherwise have been only a burthen to him.
