Mr. Ctl-aoux a ! heated the Senate at tomi 1-j igth, in opposition to l!ie hill. Me was willing a i i anxious for the admission of the Rule, am lull the day before oHhred an amendment to re move difficulties—i'ut by tint vole of the Sen ite the amendment had be n cut oif. Me referred l< the inconsistency of Senators; al the last act si-in they had declared that Michigan v-’as a Stale; n ><*• they maintain she. i.r i V. rrita' i/ He spoke, of the einbirrsssmenH attending the admission of the Senatora (io n Miclii.’ail on the floor of the S .maio, if Michigin wore only n Territory, if it were a State, how could the Senate recognise and sanetion tha proceedings of a t assembly, convened without, and against the authority of thn Constituted o ;aii< —the govern menl of the State ? He spoke in a solemn end i mpress! ve manner of the character of the lon. I '', and the tendency of tiling* to confusion ami ro v datum. He ex presite J t!ie opinion, entertained for year*, that in tho North, the emeus ay atom W ould finally iuhvetl the form* of the coimlffn lion—and that in a country like oitra, In abolish firms, was, in effect, li mike power preihmi 'mint, and to aacrifieo liberty itself, Ha inquired how a 'l'errilorf could be admit ted into tho Union 1 It must ho a Sum hefore it c-m bo admitted?

He expressed the opinion that tho Convention in December was a mere caucus-, ft it it hid no right to supercede the acts of tha Convention in Sepetemhor, convened under the authority of law, and tint, in strictness, its mem bers were indictable nl comm >n 1 tw. llj was aiaired that a like proceeding in other States would be punished a* highly criminal. Me de precated tho progress of the clangorous and dis organising doctrine* which the Senate were a but to sanction, and portrayed tho fatal conse quences. He touched on the question of nulli fication, and exposed the wide difference between . its doctrines and those of the destructives, lie professed himself n conservative, because he was a Stale Rights man ; and, if they would have it, a uniti/ter. Our Government ws.s the v.-ry best th it ever was devised; lie was eoo t-til with it; ho ttover expected to get a better, a.id ho would stand or fall by the constitution. Other subjects were incidentally touched, but »c. have not time to 50 more in detail. lie was followed by Mr. Strange, who avowed himself highly interested with the remarks of Mr. C. but declared that they were iaiuHicii-m to u nettle hi* opinions, and tout they rather con firmed him in their corrections. When eminent . lunscl fail in their cause, ho had no doubt of its weakness. In his experience ns n Judge ho 1, 4 .| often eeon the weaknu-i of the cause, ns much from tho fallacy of tho nrgu nent on one *, |e, as from tho strength *u the oilier. Mo do procated the dangers which would result from allowing the people of a Territory to form a talc Government, by the withdrawal, on the p,n of Emigres, of its authority over the Terri t irv.

Ho look occasion, at the outset of tna remarks, to have a fling at 1 the tetter writers, who embody in their corres pondence the sentiments uttered in (’ongreas, and 1 send tin 111 to every quarter of the country. It is not our purpose to vindicate the gentlemen win employ themselves a.a correspondents to distant pipers.

We have tiro pleasure 1 of'being acquainted with several of these wiiicrs. ' They are nn-n of talent and schol rrship, and those ’ who know them heat would think it injustice to | compare them for a moment in respect to moral or inlellec-tn il qualities, with their honorable as sailants. A sneer from Mr. Hamer at tins letter * writers is in particular had taste—because In himself has figured in that capacity, and exerci-ed his talents in doing the very thing, which ho now makes a topic of reproach and invective against then —Wo could give some specimens nf the e pislolary prowess of this deelaimer against let- I ter writer’s am! encomiast of the Executive De partments, whici wool I astonish his now friend ' in which he belaboured the Van Burcn party, 011 r ifrin.v ns he railed them, and their intrigues, ' and electioneering, and whole system of manage ment, ns soundly as any correspondent to 1111 v Whig paper to the country, —in which bo spoke . of thn opponent of the Van Uurett candidate for , Governor in Ohio, as the People's Candidate, and , conclucdeil with this pithy observation, , “The People vs. the Office-holder* and Poit- | ticians." | ‘•Judgement for Plaintiff." | Wo have done with Mr. Hamer for the pres ent. | "Tho people” who are “adverse to the office , holder* and politicians,’’ will judge of the reasons | for his present course, and will doubtless estimate j I he pleading of such an advocate nt exactly what , it ia worth. Wo leave him lo tho indulgence of , those balmy feelings which cannot fail lo ho ex- , cited when he contemplate* his present position, and thinks on the part ho finitely acted. , - ( From the Raleigh Star, of January 5. t Wo had the pleasure, on Monday, to hear the { 1 very able and eloquent speech of Col. Meiimiln-ji get, tire delegate Irom Hotuli Carolina, on the 1 subject ol me Louisville, Cinciimaliand Charles- ' ten Rail Road. Wo are free to say, our first | impressions wore against confering on the Stock- ( holders hanking privileges,—These impressions, 1 however, have been change! by the luminous < and powerful exposition of Col. M.; and we are ; prepared lo apply our shoulder* to tho wheel, 1 i and aid injj'lio completion of that grand and mag- | iiificenl project, to improve our eundili-aii and nil- < vuiico our prosperity. Os the importance id' 1 connecting thu Southern Atlantic Stales with the ! vast und fertile region west ol the mountains, we never had—no man, we should think, could have, any doubts. But it ia espoo.ally impor- taut to our own tjiale. Though nature has . cursed her with an iron-bound coast, which reu dvrs it impo.aiblo lhal we should ever he u high ly commercial people; yet in other respects, she has been prodigal of her houmios. There is no region in this confederacy which has more minera wealth—wealth which, ns was ' truly remarked by Col. iVL, the imaginutioa of nun eata scarcely enneuivo—than that poition ol this State which will ho traversed by, and adja cent to tha proposed road. Nulling more i i necessary lo developo it, than some channel of communication which shall open to that section of thu State tho great market* of Hie world. But it ia not merely this. No Slate in the confodcra cy will have greater advantages and laeilities for manufacturing than our own Slate. Now they . are dormant. Lot this road ho but constructed, and manufacturing establishments, which will aval any in this country, and which will give a powerful stimulus lo every branch of industry, will at once spring into existence. Places which are now hut desolate wastes, will teem with life, and activity, and abundance. Tho tide of emi gre ion, through which, lo borrow the eloquent language of C01.1V1,, and most eloquent because it i-true,through wliic 1 tholilu blood ol our Statu is now gushing, will lie stayed. Besides these, there are political considerations well worthy the serious attention of those in whoso Hands are suspended our destinies.—This | tail road will hind together with " hooks of steel” the South and the West, It will bind them to gether by the strongest bonds which can connect communities, mutual interest. This, which 1 should at any time have powerful weight, ought | especially now, w hen there is a spirit of philan-1 thropic madness abroad, the termination of which j no man can see, and which (lie most sagacious j j fear will terminate so disastrously. Col. M., wo thiuk, demonstrated most conclu sively, that there is no other plan by which this I ’ railroad can he effected, except by conferring on them banking privileges. Wo have no wish lo j ’ conceal that, when wo first heard of this plan, we feared it might terminate in the establishment ' of a hanking corporation, and the abandonment of the road. No man, however, who will can ’ didly examine the subject, who will look into the gnuids and restrictions imposed in tho charter, " hut will give those apprehensions to the winds, ' as the creation of u 100 great jealousy. It ia im- 1 possible that such should be the result. The dis-1 ’ ttnguisheJ delegate was, in our humble judg * incut, equally successful in shewing, that the bank must boa sound institution, and that the business and wants of the country would absorb 11 ita issues, as its capabilities were developed by ' the construction of the road. H.iuth Caiulina, as she alwaysdocs every thing ’ she undertakes, has acted nobly, and worthy of her high reputation. Her citizens have liberally ’ contributed tlioir private means, and tlic Slate ber self, his not only conferred the privileges asked ’ for, hut has contributed tho whole of her portion of the surplus revenue. Shall we refuse even to giant those privileges 0 which, instead of withdrawing capital from the *’ Slate, brings it into her borders—privileges too *“ which, we are well asaured, ate absolutely caseu- II tiul to the comple.iou of otto of the grandest un -10 Jertakings to impovo the condition of our coun try which was cvct conceived ! Shall we sleep on, in quiet in activity, whilst our native State is graduadv jsink ng into hopeless poverty? Wc j. trust not. Wo believe not. We ardently hope t . the day of our regeneration is al hand. That us Legislature which shall commence the great work , L , will be canonised in the heart* of posteiily, and ol all who are sincerely attached to North Caro i, linu and to the South. We wish the speech of Col. M. could have iJ hern heard by every man in North Carolina. Me 10 would have breathed inlu our population some of Uj ilia own nobly energy. Me would have awaken •t id them to meir true interests, and pointed with Je Unerring certainly to the remedy.

BY THE JEXPKKSW TIAiL. From the New York Herald. PARTICULARS OF THE DRADFITL SHIP RECK FROM THE SURVIVORS. Tho unprecedented and thrilling intensity of 1 interest li.at the late fatal calamiiy has occasion ed, involving the lives of so many unfortunate 1 t .itngs, treading on the heels of a similar calami j tv —iihc loss of the ship Bristol) t lie effects of a system pcitiicous and Jisgracelul to an enligh tened age, and a lioinanu community, lias in duced us lo seek for every information, and to give the fullest and most graphic account ol the event, which has excited the deepest sympathy in every koaoin. To do lids we visited (lie Hospital in which three of the passengers from the w reck are now lying, and wc have taken down each ol their statements from their own lips. They arc all confined to their hods, where they must lie for several days, their hands and Icet being entirely useless—-numbed and frostbitten. Their suffer ings have been intense, hut there is another ca lumny which now weighs heavily upon their minds—they are destitute—beggars —il.e sea has swallowed up their little all. Wlnit cun they do ! Not even a single change of raiment have they got. Their misery is not ended. Isl he vessel had not been insured, much sym pathy would have been evinced lot the owners who had lu-t part of their pioperly only, lot these have lo t al'. Wo all synipa’hizc—we all pity their suffering condition—hut let us relieve them! Hear them speak ; Shiftmen, tof John IVOOII, passenger, —We I had a long and bad passage. As much ua three weeks before wu got to shore, we were pot upon allowance. Rome days wc had a biscuit and u licning, on others a handful of Ilnur. On Christ mas day wo had 11 great a cat —wo had each a biscuit, six potatoes, uud a quarter of a pound ol poik—we thought a great deal of this, and wore very glad and thankful lor it. After beating a b.ni t die coast for several days, on Saturday we conic in sight ofthe Highlands. On Sunday we cuiai) to Sandy Hook, and wo wore all in great spirits, expecting to boon land tins same evening. There were several vessels about, besides ours. Our Captain Hulled the Montreal, and asked whether her Captain would go in without a Pi lot ! Me also spoke with 0110 or two other ves sels, Whilst w« were thus cruising about, with a Hag of distress Hying, for a Pilot to come, wc saw a steamboat coining along, towing a vessel down, and tho Captain then ordered the gun to ho fired lo make her no ice us—it was fired six times, hut she took no notice of it, and went hack, to our great si r.ow and disappointment. About 10 o’clock, a head wind sprung up and it com menced snowing very last—wo were obliged to go sea again. On Monday we kept ciuising about, hoping lo have a fair wind. On Tuesday morn ing, at 6 o’clock, the vessel struck, every body c-iinic on deck. Wo were in a dreadful slate— tire women and children crying upon the Al mighty for protection. The Captain ordered the jib-boom to be set, and to push the ship as far in shore as could bo done, bhe continued dragging very hard against the sand, and did not seem to right ut all. The Captain then ordered tho main mast to he cut a way—it was a little heller. About 11 o’clock, the vessel seemed to bilge and till with water.— Then the foremast was ordered to he cut down, but it had no effect—the sea breaking over her quartets. About the same tiino tire long boat was got out and the hawser lusient-d to it, but owing 10 some mismanagement it brake its hold and drifted on shore—then all our expectations were over, as tho small boat could not, they said, live a minute. About an hour afterwards, the Captain ordered (lie small boat to be launched, lull 110 sooner was she out than she was struck by the sea and swamped. We all expected a watery grave. At about 5 o'clock, a boat put off from shore and eight of us got in from the jib boom. I was the first who got in. Wo were brought lo shore, and from tin nee taken lo Mr. Minilli’s house, about 5 miles from the eo-rst; opr sufferings al this time were dreadful, as our clothes were all ice. Wu set up before a good lire riming the night, and on Wednesday, ut about I o’clock, were brought 10 the Hospital. /licitaril O biViN {j>.v<sengi'r)itntnnent, — ii e bad a very bud lime of it all the voyage, till she struck. As soon as this happened, the Captain said “shove her in shore as far as possible,” which was done, lie ashed the mate if he cast tho lead —he said he did and it was 15 fathoms —the Captain said it was no such thing at all— it was a lie he told. The passengers asked if there was any danger, and if they would get off safe ! He said they would all get off safe—at this tint* there was high water; he told the pas sengers nut to he uneasy, that the water would get low hv and by, vV get calm, so that they could gel on shore. About nine o’clock it began (0 iilovv fresher, and then the Captain ordered tho mast to bo cut away to save it from spiffing, and to save thepeo; le’s lives. Wo all helped; and tho women and children, it was dreadful to hear them screaming and crying. I’ve seen a great deal of bad weather and many storms and diffi culties, biff none like that. The sailors were ail hud, and I helped tho ves sel very much myself, and kept watch when she struck. On Sunday, I prevented the vessel’s be ing run into by a brig, as the Captain knows,— It’s very dreadful—l have been living a great many years in Now York, anil went over lo tho old country to sec my friends—l had §250 worth 1 of properly on hoard, all lost. Thomas .Malihim's (passengerJ statement. I —Our vessel sir, was a very had vessel, a very leaky one.—And the smloi’s they were vciy had j —they were all colored people except one, a : Frenchman, ho was taken up in Liverpool, hui Iha was not good for any thing. Tito ma'■•- i were white. Tho fitst mate worked right well j and for the rest, wo did the work, pumping,—wc were never off of it—it was such a bad ship. The sailors could not stand the cold—wc hoisted up tho sails for them and kept watch at night. It was a hard time—When the vessel struck tho sailors would not work, the male did—they be haved very badly and were not fit. The deck of tho vessel was so slippery with ice it could not be stood on—beds were brought up for tho woman j ami children, who held on to tho ropes as they j could—every rope was as big as my arm with tho ice—and tho women and children cried and screamed very had—we were up to our middles in water. When tho boat came from shore, I dropped down from the jib boom as high as this room (about 11 or 13 feel,) tho Captain was not frost-bitten, and we left him al tho coast when we . were brought here. A person has arrived to-day from the wreck. All the rest ot the passengers, as supposed, in all 108 souls have perished, only a few inches of the vessel arc to be seen above water. 1 We shall have, probably to-morrow, some more interesting facts relative to this calamitous ' event —ami the unjust, iniquitous, ami unholy pi ! lot system, to which so much has been sacrili ’ eed. Loss of tub Smp Superior.— We mon , tinned oil Wednesday the loss of this ship, s and expressed some leers for the safety of the 2 crew. It affords us pleasure to announce . their safe arrival ut St. George's Bermuda. 1 The following particulars we copy from the i Conrierof this day. 1 The Superior. —She sailed from Marseil ■ les on the tl-itli of Sept, bound lo this port, and had light and fair weather (ill the 10th c I of November, when she took a tremendous ‘! gale from the north-west, which strained her 1 1 to such a degree, that it was with diffculty she ‘ j could ho kept free from water, and Capt. T. 1 i therefore deemed it prudent to square away for Bermuda. A few days after tins tho wind veered to tho eastward, blowing strong and steadily, and the prospect being a good one 1 of carrying the breeze all the way to New 1 York, the Superior was once more headed j toward tlie port of her destination. On nearing our coast, the wind hauled slid j dcnly right in her teeth, blowing almost u . hurricane. Afer battling the storm for four 1 days, her course on the 251 h was shilled foi Bermuda again. On the 29th, CapUinTyson f judged himself to be 80« miles North of that ■ and ; but this computation was nece s nly . very uncertain, not having bail an observation lor two days. At one o’clock of the ti9lh, the ship was struck by a heavy squall from ’ the South-West, which knocked her on her beam ends, but succeeded in wearing round, and she righted. The j umps were at that time chocked, ami the ship had six feet water ; in her hold ; by dint of bating, she was kept. ' free till 11 o’clock, when the sea became 1 smoother and on taking upcast of the loud, but ten I '.thorns of water were found. This was the first intimation of danger, and although every exertion was made to wear the ship round again, she struck the bottom and knocked off her rudder, Being thus disabled and the water making very last in the hold the starboard anchor was let go to prevent drifting. Till 6 o’clock next morning, she thumped tremendously, and ihcte being no appearance of any assistance coming from the shore, I lie long boat was hoisted out, and ihe second mate and seven men despatched to Rt. George's, then in s'ght, distant ten or twelve miles. At hulfan hoiii after the boat left, another heavy squall struck the ship unrl drove her in to deeper water where she sunk with the wa ter even with the top of her rails. Those left on hoard immediately took the remain ing boat and all reached the shore in safely, saving nothing hnt what they stood m, not even the chronometer and ship’s jinpers. Cap lain Tyson writes that every assonance was rendered linn by Mr. Tucker, the American consul, to secure as mecli of the cargo as p is ible from the wreck, but he (eared a great deal would be lost bv its drilling to different parts of the island v *ere the inhabitants look possesion of it. The crow left [lerininla in the Ung Calvin of Ibis (tort, bound lu Wil mington, N. C. where they arrived in safety on the ’doth ult. Cajtt. Tyson remains at Bermuda to attend lo the interests of those concerned. The Superior was a remarkably stout, Phi ladelphia hit It ship, owned by Copt. Win. Tyson, of this city. IJis brother was com mander of her. She was insured here for 814,000, hm was estimated to he worth 820,- 000. ANOTHER LIVERPOOL SKIP LOST. Last evening we received intelligence of the loss of the British ship Tama rick, Cap). Kune, & announced the fact in our edition lor the coun try. We have now the painful task of adding sonic particulars. Cupt. K. left Liverpool on the 11th November, with merchandize, four cabin and one hundred and thirteen steerage passengers, and a crew of twenty-six men, and arrived off Sandy Hook on Saturday afternoon. No pilot I oat was in sight, and Cupt. K. stood off and on, during the night, w i h lights hoisted, and at in- Ictvals tiring guns and sending up rockets. On Sunday evening the storm came on, and he was compelled to bring the ship under as snug t ail as possible, widiout running a great distance trom his port. On Wednesday morning, about lour o’clock, they had eighteen fathoms of water. At this lime it was snowing fast—and in less than one hour they saw a light, and in a few minutes the ship struck, about three miles from Tiro Isl and light. At daylight, a boat was sent ashoie with a line, but it was upset in the surf; the persons in it hapjiily succeeded in leaching the shore. An other boat was launched, and a kind providence favored this attempt. The gale subsiding a little, all the passengers were landed before the sun set. Although they were all landed with safety, every one suffered from the severity of the weather, and one child w as frozen to death. The Taniarick was a new ship, of upwards of GOO tons burthen, built at Quebec last summer, and was owned in Liverpool, and consigned to Messrs. Douglass, Robinson & Co. of this city. She is said to have been insured in Liverpool lar 6UOOf„ and in ibis city #7OOO on freight and car go. Very little hopes arc entertained for cither vessel or cargo, as the sea was making over her at the last advices. The names ut the cabin I passengers are, Miss Mary Ann Henson, or Dub lin, Messrs. Thomas and Samuel Anslmv, ut En gland, and Mr. Win. Simms of Scotland. From the N. V. Com. Adv. — By Express. WRECK. OF THE MEXICO. Wo have seen the British consul, Mr. Buchan an ho has just returned from Hempstead Reach, having paused the Highland considerable portion of yesterday in the neighborhood of the wreck The account of the disaster, in all bs stages, its disc third to him by those who were assembled on tho beach, and saw, hut could not help, is most heart-rending. Tor eighteen hours the unhappy strangers were exposed to the horrors of the wreck, enduring the pangs of cold, and hunger, and misery, and hope deferred, beholding face lo face, as it were, the terrible death from which there was no means of escape; for eighteen hours their piteous cries and shrieks wore licard upon the beach, gradually decreasing in number and frequency, until at last but a feeble one was heard at intervals, and finally all was still—when the scarcely less agonized listeners knew that death had completed his work, and that tho deck of the Mexico now bore only the frozen and lifeless bodies of the lato breathing and hoping passen gers. Thirty seven of the bodies have come on shore; six of them females, thirty men, and one young lad; in two or three instances bodes have come on shore, with their arms locked in a close em brace, and these arc sujtposed to have been near ■ relatives. Every arrangement has been made by the consul, and the sheriff and coroner of the Co., for the decent interment of the unhappy sufferers, i and we have a melancholy pleasure in saviny that the ladies of the vicinity have hastened lo give their assistance in paying tho last offices to I the bodies of the females. The consul sjieaks t most gratefully of the zeal and interest mamlc-t --• ed by all the inhabitants, living near the scene of I the disaster. P. S,—Mr. Samuel Thompson, the consignee ) of the Mexico, left at a late horn last evening, and ■ has favored us with the following I— f List of bodies found and recognized on Ilemp > stead Beach, from the wreck of the barque Mexi i co, from Liverpool:— ' Mr. Evans, Mr. Murry, John Hulun, Mr. Met -1 cal’s eldest daughter, Mr. Devine, Samuel lilock ham, Mrs. Higgins, Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. s Pepper, and one of their children, Mr. Murry, - 1 of Hope’s children, one of Mrs. Evunss, d iugh -5 ters, and her eldest son, and sixteen bodides not 1 recognized. • The agent of the Insurance Company, with the wreckmaster, hoarded tho ship yesterday, hut • found nothing on deck or in the cabin, which I they made out to enter. Every thing had been c washed out —no bodies were touml in any jmrt ' of the sbij). Some of the bodies which have ! drifted ashore, bad the apjicarnnce of having been s lasted to the vessel, as ropes were tied round their ■ waists, &c. • The ship remains much in the same situation as yesterday—and there is a prospect of saving most of the cargo, when the weather becomes - more moderate. i, The captain will be in the city this evening, e The captain having been censured for leaving p the ship, we are requested to say that he was u uged to do so by the passengers, in the hope that c he would be able to effect something for their rescue. A report has been circulated that the ship was ' short of water —this is incorrect, ns she had more ’ than 1300 gallons on board at the time of the 1 wreck. 8 Twenty sovereigns were found on the body of r John Hulon. e The body of a woman drifted ashore, with A. ■ L. marked on her linen, and ten dollars were V found on her person. ,1— 1 INSTRUCTIONS, e "Mr. Van Huron’s paper artillery has been dis v charging its contents for four years past against d those who they pretended, had violated the right of instructions. Whensoever a Slate supported |. by the votes of its jioople, directly or indirectly, a the men or the measures of tho administration, the r cry was that the Senators from such Stale, it , r higs, violated instructions—disregarded the n will of the people—unless they resigned. This has been the doctrine and the di-.cipl.ne of this 1 mercenary faction. A few weeks ago; and the Richmond Enquirer, Argus, Pennsylvanian —et id genus omne —buoyed up by the prospects ot ; the Usurper in Ohio, were rejoicing at the jiro babil tv that “Mr, Solitude Ewing,’ as they very courteously called the distinguished Senator ( from Ohio, would have to retire into solitude.— I Judge Man gum and Judge Southard, too, of N. Carolina and New Jersey, have been vehemently assailed for not resigning their respectiveseats in favor of administration men. Hut, “the case being altered, tillers the ease.” Now that Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, and Ten nessee, have given decisive majorities against the Usurper, these prints arc silent. Messrs. Hen dricks, Tipton, Morris, Wall, and Grundy, may spurt at the popular will, and deride the princi ples of instructions, and these honest prints will not find it in their hearts to censure. No—no. “ The case boning altered, abets the case.” These are tho choice spirits of Mr. Van Buren, and his interests nro paramount, in their ho.,e»t opinions, to the interests of the people, and the principles of their Government. qHROtflCLfi: AND SENfiNE L.

From the New York Herald. WALL STREET. Triday, Jan. 7. V, T c are probably in a reactionary movement, but it creeps along so silently and so slowly that it can scarcely bo traced on tho commercial snnaee. Stocks are generally rising, but there is no alteration in the supply of money, or the rate of interest. Yester day the iancy slocks look an additional starr—some olthcm going up from I to 3 per cent. Mohawk, Utica, and Long Island rail road principally looked up. It was observed too, t bat tbe strong an.l bca-. y men generally were the sellers. This is hot a good indication tor the sustainment of the prices. Wu should not be surprised, thereior.i, lo see a rutrognde movement in a day or two. It may nut lake jdaco but it is probable. The Bunks have now rendered to the legislature all tic ir statements, hut tho case anticipated on that event has not yet been realized. Vcsleiday the of fering banks were twice Ibo usual amount, tut the facilities were as sparingly handed out as ever. There is not the slighost reduction in the interest of money, or llic state of domestic cxcahngej. Two anil three per rent arc as readily received ns erer tor good paper—and exchanges on the south arc back to nca ly the old rates. One of lire principal causes of the continuance of the high rale of m orest is the compoiiiii n made by the real crime rpecukilors for the loans of Homing ciipit I. V\ <• learn, that during lliu last four weeks, 1 1, etc lias m-I bco overo low s.'|c» of real cslalo that were reel, and such ns wore actually sold, sub mitted to a reduction of 3l) to 4<t percent. We roc inform'd,on goo I iniiboii y, that in one auction home, in that period, only two Lis were m-tu ulv b 1,1, out ofn ;rat mmy sales, m 8-’,700 and 2,dot', ofjrop. ny ila.t f ichcd Sollijo hi t summer. Alort (,'iig.K oo valuable p:, due-live property, are daily ol lercd in Wall street, ai 3to J 2 per cent discount and on unproductive properly no money can lie mis od. except at a high rule of discount and pertonalse cui'ity In addition. The present st ile of speed it ions in real estate is llm cause ol the continued It.glt interest on commer cial brans. Many also believe that no reduction of iherate of interest will take place until wo have a general explosion in the speculations of real osiaie. it begins now lo bo believed that all the d stnrh nnce and disorder in llm money market, both in lids country ami in Europe, have risen from these sperm lations. By the ’t’roasnry Report, it appears that the sides of government lands in tiro last eighteen mouths, amounted to nearly 25 millions. This i» the principal cattse also of the great surplus revenue, ft is lo ibis species of real estale, we add the capital invested in lots throughout tho country, wo shall probably have an a gregnte ot 80 or luO millions, n hich have been invested in those speculations in the same period. Overtrading, ns it is called, is a phenomenon that di v.-lopes itself in one particular article of com merce, at sny given period of time. During the last century we have seen a dozen commercial revul sions brought on by over trading in some one or oilier of the great staples of speculation or commerce. Ex ce.-sivo speculation in any one article, disturbs the whole commercial machine. This arises from the delicacy which always attends opera ions based on paper currency. In 1825, the monomania in com* i mrrcinl specculation was cotton. Every body was mad about cotton. Every body purchased us his neighbor, thinking that the price would rise, and hr , would make his lurtune ia a few days Retd estate is tho monomania us 183i>, 7. Real estate las swell ed tho surplus—made the western merchants raid 1 —increased the interest of money—donbk-d the ex changes—and shake n the whole labne of com mercoin this country and in Europe. For in com mercial affairs, France, England, and ills United , Mates, aie only parts of the saint great commercial machine. The e\ ils originally set on foot bv the real estate speculations of '836, as by tho cotton speculations of 1833, have been aggravated by the folly, po. ver - shy. ignorance and in-aniiy of the government and lhe banks, one half of which are utterly ignorant ol the principles of commerce, or if Knowing thorn sac rifice them lo their own cupidity otitnco and am hit ion. I’m it is to the overtrading in a single ge it [ staple, nr leading article, that nil tin pr -s m evils ; are to be originally a erihod.
