a line middle aged, hearty, honest, Imnevo-
J«nt looking man. He was us a lather to
Ins passengers, and a kind master to bis crew.
Towards the close of the month of Decem
ber, the Tamarac, leaping gallantly over lire
billows,and dash ug them Ironi her Incas', as
if they woe the foam from the neck ot the
Arsh steed, approached the coast ol Long Is
land. O i Saturday afternoon Inst, » I.tile be
fore the setting ol the sun, the gallant ship
reached Shindy Hook, jutting out to sea, with
the heights of Neversmk frowning behind.
At tins moment she found herself in company
with n fleet of 20 to 25 square rigged vessels.
Here their difficulties commenced.
The unfortunate b irq ni Mox.co, an! tinny
others, were among them. Tim great <ry
was for “pilots,” “pilots,” “pilots.” “Whore
were they !” “ What could they he doing !’’
duns were fired in succession—every signal
was ho sted—all the vessels tried to outstrip
each other in awakening the sleepy sentinels
of the port of New York. No pilot came.
Not a single rag of canvass was to be seen.
The captain—tint crow—the passengers—
even in the midst of llie cold—looked, gazed,
and strained their eye balls. No pilot came.
Why ! Tnv phots of New York am politi
duns and goinleinon. They possess a nm
nop 'ly of the business. Tncy know very well
tlrii nobo ly cm interfere with tlieir chartered

up in tun cilv, preparing to spend Now Voars'
day with eclat, instead of minding their duty
down below—or aiding tbe poor, famished,
miserable beings who were suffering all the
liorrois of Lliu angry ocean.
On Sunday morning tliu wind began to in
crease to a gale, Tim storm howled through
liieif rigging, nod they were obliged to lay too
under a double reeled topsail. Tliu wind
blow piercingly from the west. It entered
the very soul oi'every person on board, and
almost unnerved half the crew.
Between 12 and 1 o’clock on id md iy morn
ing, the snow began to fall in great abundance.
In tins p isition the Tamarac and nil the other
vessels kepi oil’and on between the Long Is
land and Jersey shores, until Wednesday
morning. The tl.crtuoiir ter was nowdown to

Wednesday, at 4 o’clock in the morning, the
sea running high, the mile Bounded, and
found I Star ouit'. Toe snow was still limit,
and Ugnts were observed through the edilj

bout 5 o’clock on Wednesday morning, dark,
gloomy, allowing, and death Blaring iinmnil,
the gallant now ship, which mwi 810,0110,
stiuck lliti bottom and wis a wreck. Every
person m board fell the shock, and all were
siartlud to do'peraliou. Kturoily stared thorn
i i the face. Too actions of a whole Ido Blood

were in d stress— thu women rhr idling, an I

The rest of the fleet arc gradually reaching
the harbor, but it :s generally believed that
out of the whole number we shall hear of more
than the shipwreck of the Tamarac, or tliu
still msre awful shipwreck of tho Mexico.
Anxious to give every particular ot the
frightful disasters which with such swill haste
have visited us, we have sought fir the pas
sengers of this wreck but have only met one,
wouse statement wij give, ns follows :
Statement of Catharine I{oach, steerage
passenger. —VVe had a bad voyage from the
beginning—Bid weather, a bad tune and bad
luck—Eight persons have been lost on the
voyage—Tne first one a Bailor—The ship
had a great deal of iron—loo much, and it was
badly packed—So ihey took a calm day to do
it better—-The sailor was sitting by the iron,
when the siiip throw it o;i li ra—VVe
had then out a fortnight—There were
neve al davs gone before the nun could
look for him—die weather was so bad—
The first calm day they took up the iron,
and touol the pur nun knocked all to
p:eoes—i piece here and a piece there.
/i’lte nest bad thing was too Co >k— He did
apt ulaase me Captain—he dressed the d,u

, was soon put out by ib'j lire department. By
the tune tliu companies bad returned to their
v bouses, another lire broke out in tlio block
y bounded by Watts, Broome, .Sullivan unci
L . V anck BtreHs, which destroyed some twelve
” buddings, front and rear, and ,’i horses. In
; l consequence of the severity of tho weather,
I, and ilie frozen state of sumoof the plugs, wc
s were foarlul at one period that the whole

Tlio lire began in n stable, and tho dimes,

THE EXPRESS MAIL.
Complaints have been made to us by individ

by the regular mail, which should have been for
warded by the Express mail. Some of these
letters have been show n to us, and they contained
on tho ha :k, the direction required by tbe Po t
Master General, to “ forward by the Express
Mail,” and were charged with treble postage.
The fault lies at the Now York Post Office, and
merchants and others living in that city, would
do well to loot into the matter. Many inc onve
nicnccs and injuries might result from (his ncgli

While on the subject, wo may add that wo

THE INSURANCE DANK OKCOUTMBU3.
The (one assumed by the Constitutionalist and
several other of tbe presses of tho State, on the
subject of the recent transfer, to Nicholas Biddle
and others, of a majority of the stuck of this insti
tution it seems, to our humble judgment, is not
entirely justified by the nature of that transaction,
or tho consequences likely to flow from it. We
shall premise in the outset of these remarks, that
wcaro ihe s/uciat friend of no Bank—the foe to
none. Conducted upon proper principles, and un
der proper restrictions, Banks are capable of exer
cising a salutary and beneficial influence upon the
business of a country, in facilitating exchanges,
and alfording a safe and convenient circulating
medium. Whatever institution can best effect
these important ends, without violating cither in
its creation or its action, any of the fundamental
principles of our government, or endangering the
rights of the Stales, or the people, certainly de
serves the countenance and support of those who
arc to bo the recipients of these benefits.
Divested by all the mystery which has been
thrown around it, and of all the terror inspired in
the bosoms of some, by the association of names,
the nuked transaction is simply this.—Some four
oi live years ago, tlio Legislature of this Stale
chartered a Bank at Columbus with a capital of
300,000 dollars, with the privilege of increasing
it to 600,000, and establishing branches whenev
er it deemed proper, in different parts of the State.
Tlie Bank goes into operation—emits bills, dis
counts paper and transacts business precisely as
other institutions of the same character do. In
process of time, the Stockholders deem it prudent
to enlarge the business of the Bank, by increasing
its capital slock to tlio full extant authorized hy
the act of the Legislature creating it. In nil this
there is nothing extraordinary—nothing violative
of the laws of the land, —no aggression upon the
rights of others. Other Banks have done tho
same thing—other Banks have increased their
capital, mid sold the slock to the highest bidder,
for tlio benefit of the old Stockholders, for the
best premium they could get. At this juncture,
Nicholas Biddle and his associates, citizens of
Pennsylvania and other States, step forward and
purchase.all the shares of increased stock of the
Insurance Bank, paying therefor, a bonus to the
eb! Stockholders of 100,000 dollars. The old
Stockholders had a perfect right to sell—the put
chasers had a legal right to buy. Who can gain
say citbcil On Wednesday next, the Dank of
Augusta will offer sot sale, al public auction, 3000
shares of additional stock, and on the next day,
the Hail Bead Bank will oiler, in the same man
ner, tho same amount! Would Nicholas Biddle
and his associates be debarred from bidding at
cither of these sales'! Should he, through agents
buy in the whole amount of tho stock otlcrod hy
both banks, would any man have a right to com
plain 1 Each Bank otters the same amount of
•stock, sold by tho Insurance Bank of Columbus,
and should be pay a bonus to each of these Banks
of 100,000 dollars for their additional slock, -oould
the old Stockholders of cither complain : Let
those who object to the recent salo of the stock of
the Insurance Bank of Columbus, answer these
questions in Ihe affirmative !
But what is tho consequence of this transac
tion 1 The consequence is, that Mr. Biddle and
his copartners become Stockholders in that Bank
—the mother Dank at Columbus will be manag
ed by Directors, who are citizens of that place,
and tho Branches will be managed by Directors,
who are citizens of tho several places of their lo
cation ! Mr. Biddle will have a right to vote for
these Directors, and will bo entitled to draw his
just proportion of the profits of the institution 1
But it is objected that ho holds a sufficient
quantity of stock to control the Bank 1 Suppose
hollas; if his control of it, is a sufficient ground
to justify a withdrawal of public confidence, let
that confidence bo withdrawn and lot the institu
tion fall. But it is again objected that ho will
use this Bank us an instrument of the Pennsyl
vania Bank of the United States to distress our
local Banks and thus oppress the people! This
wc conceive to be entirely without tho bounds of
probability—First, because, having paid a high
bonus for the stock ho holds in this bank, ho will
scarcely attempt so to use the Institution as to im
poverish the very source from which he is to
reap the profits to repay his enormous investment;
and secondly, because he has vigilant enemies
enough nt bis own door, who watch his every
movement, to prevent his treusfering any exces
sive quantity of his funds to the Insurance Bank
at any one peiied of time, and wo presume he
would scarcely risk tho safety of his own Bank
at Philadelphia for the poor and unprofitable pur
pose of cramping and cripling and ruining our
local Banks, and with them the people, who are
interested in or dependent upon them. In one
word, ho will not have the power to do it. In the
third place, the Insurance Bank will be managed
entirely by Directors who arc citizens of the State ,
equally as much interested in the welfare and
prosperity of the people, as the directors of other
Banks. It is said that he will cut off the profits
of other Banks ! If ho docs this by reducing the
rate of interest, and bringing exchanges upon the
North once nmre to par, we humbly believe that
be will merit and obtain the thanks of the com
munity who are interested in no Banks.
But it is again asserted that if he had applied to
the Slate lor a Branch of the Pennsylvania Bunk
of the United Slates, his application would have
have been promptly rejected. No doubt of it,
and very properly. We look upon that as a
very dillervnt question. The Insurance Bank
will not be a Branch of the Pennsylvania Bank
of the U. S., but an independent Bauk of itsulf
—Being owned in part by the same stockholders
i ■{ tea* be ntade a medium far rff’c'.ing exchange*
I between the North and South expeditiously, uni
j firmly and cheaply, and this we presume is the
! the real olijcct of the transaction —And then it
is urged again that the State will he over-run
with whalir, termed “ foreign capital” ! Grant
ing this to be true and the argument is suicidal.
Money here is worth 8 per cent per annum, and
if the cizens of other States can send their capi
, tal here and loan it out at 6 per cent, as we un
• derstand is the intention of the Insurance Bank,
• we ask, will not we he gainers just two per cent
I upon every dollar of such capital as may be
brought into the Stale t We think so clearly.
> That this transansaction is an invasion or vio
. lalion of lire rights or sovereignty of the Stale,
I os is asserted hy some presses, or how it has any
I thing to do with State Rights, we arc utterly at
• a loss to imagine. This opinion we have no
i doubt, has been produced by the false and mista
ken idea that Mr. Diddle ought not to be allowed
■ to hold slock in any of our Hanks, because the
• Stale would not allow him to have a branch of
• his own Bank here 1 It is a very dilfcrnt thing,
i we opine, for him to hold slock in a Bank char
" tered hy our own State, and amenable to our
I own laws, from having a branch of a hank char
tered by another Slate, located within our limits,
and over which our laws could have little or no
control.
Much that has been said about this transaction,
no doubt has its origin in ancient political antip
athies. There are some men among us who
shudder at the bare mention of Nick Biddle’s
name. They imagine him to bo the ghost of the
“ dead monster”, over whose grave they have
been chaunting requiems and funeral hymns for
the last four years. They will swear and swear
that it is dead ; that the General killed it with
the veto —and yet if they hear Biddle’s name
connected with any money transaction, they will
unswear it all, and swear that it is still alive and
kicking, and begin to call lustily on the “ Demo
cracy” to arouse 1
Our neighbor of the Constitutionalist says
that county meetings should be called, and even
an extra session of the Legislature! For what
purpose I We should like to he shown the "n-
UUtarian cui bona"! Would he have the peo
ple harangued about the General and the “mon
ster,” in order to raise a mob I Would he have
the Legislature attempt to annul the charter ol
the Insurance Bank 1 To visit it with the ven
geance of the agrarian doctrines of Dallas and
Ingcrsoll and Fanny Wright 1 Wo should like
to know 1 If the bank has done any thing to
forfeit its charter, let it be tried and condemned
according to law! If guilty and convicted, we
shall not weep 1

Never since the days of the mushroom King,
Massaniello, has an individual acquired so great a
name, in so short a space of time, and that too
with so little merit, as has the renouned person
age, whose name stands at tire head of this article-
Little better than two years ago, I regarded him
as the most stupid of lire whole gang of dingy
idlers that lurked about the officers’ mess-rooms
at Fort King. While Ciiaiile O’Matiilah was to
be tolerated for his merry wit, Jumi'Eii, for his
gallantry and eloquence, Micro Non, for his dry
jests, and Hicks for his native sagacity, I could
perceive nothing in the character of Bowel, as he
I was then more commonly called, to commend him,
save his wondrous complaisance, which he ex
hibited, by laughing when any one laughed, grin
-1 ning when any one grinned, cursing when they
cursed, and drinking wiome whenever he could
. beg it. Now this same Tnstonuggie is called
f the conqueror of two armies, and the successful
i General of a second campaign—the history of his
“ deeds of marshal daring” trumpeted over half
lire globe,* and his once unmeaning cognomen
twisted and construed into a name prophetic.
Should not the admirers of this modern Leonodcs
feel a little chagrined at the fact, that the great
generalship for which they have given him credit,
belongs, rightfully, to a tall, jet colored son of
Afric, who bears the name of Abraham ; and
that the “ beautiful prefiguration” of the “rising
sun" exist only in their own imaginations; while
the true title of their second Black Hawk, is noth
ing more nor less than Sola, ( Turkey Buzzard)

opinion the “ prefiguration” is much better as it

I think he may be compared with much propriety

Gross Outrage— Trails of Abolition —About
IS o'clock on Saturday night, a gang of negroes,
• some of whom wete armed, attmked the etew of
f the Brazilian brig Brilliante, lying at one of our
wharves, and, as the men on hoard the vessel were
not prepared to make any resistance, the assail
ants succeeded in carrying oil' two of the five
■ slaves who composed part of her crew. The
i mate on hearing the noise* came on deck, when
one of the gang cocked a pistol at him and threat
ened to blow his brains out in ease he interfered.
Alter securing the two men, they telired, but in
about two hours they returned, w ith the expecta
■ lion of getting tho remainder of the slaves. In
L this, however, they were disappointed, us the
crew of the Brilliante w ere prepared for them.—
On discovering that they could not succeed, they
1 con ted themselves with throwing stones an I olh
- er missiles at the people on deck, and then retire
r 01 1.
We trust the perpetrators of this gross outrage
will be discovered, anil made to pay the penalty
! of their rashness. — Boston .Bias,

WALL STREET,
Monday, Jan. 9.
Our daily sp n cula'ions on the money market, ex
changes, hu-iness, and all comm rcial operation
generally, are (bunded on unq e ti noble fuels as
they are developed in the cily, throughout ih -coun
try, or in documents published by the government
ihe commercial world we believe, has given us
great credit for our accuracy, foresight, indepen
dence, and freedom from all bias or intention to de
ceivo. With these impressions and feelings, wo
find an article on tins subject in the Courier & E.t
quter of lastSalurday, which occasionally opens its
oracul irjaws, as the iailhful companion of Balaam
did in tho following manner:—
“Slate ij the Money Market. —We are happy at
the close of the week, and previous to the sai ing of
the (rackets to-morrow, to have it in our power to
say for the information of foreign readers, that the
slate of the Money Market in this city, during the
week now expiring, has become decidedly more fa
vorable ; and that the immense amount of mercan
tile engagements already liguidaled, with the com
parative small amount outstanding, hold out the
prospect oi it gradual reduction on the rale of inter
est lor money. On the whole, ifthe prices abroad of
our great staple products do not materially decline,
there is no reason to apprehend any further intor
nplton loour commercial prosperity Indeed, th
temporary one which has taken place, is solely to
be a Itributed to the interference of the federal go
vernment with the credit currency of the Slates.”
On the very day on which this statement. was
published last Saturday,) fore gn exchanges on En
gland rose to 109, 1095, being a rise of nearly 2i
per cent in a single week. Wo also learn that
during tho week, the export of specie has begun,
sny to the amount of 850,000, but this amount of it
self would bo nothing. In the early part of (he
week, laney slocks indeed rose, from the great efforts
made hy a fevy holders, hut on Saturday, there was
a great deal of fluctuation. Several of the fancies
held on to their advanced rates, hut the United
States Bank, and other solid stocks were extremely
heavy and dull.
There is also a great demand for foreign exchange,
and lilllc is coming from the south, where it sells as
high us 110 to ill. Interest of monev is also near
ly as high os ever in the street.
It is also generally stated that considerable amounts
of tho United Slates slocks have been returned to
this country,and that the anticipated panic in En
gland will cause a further fall in the price of cotton,
besides a diminished demand from us. It is very
evident that the state of the money market in En
gland, is much worse tl an if is hero The fact that
the gold in the Bank of England, has been reduced
from X‘ 12,000,000 sterling, to less than XT),000,000
has slruck terror into British commerce. About
thirty banks, including blanches, have failed in a
fortnight in that country.
These events must necessarily control the cotton
consumption of England. Hence the effect is al
ready foil on this side in the sudden rise of exchange,
and the beginning of an exportation of specie.
In addition these facts, we have nearly 812,000,
COO of the surplus revenue, yet performing its gyra
tions under the deposit law—the balance not yet
received by the slates to he put into eirculafon.
But this is not all. A deficiency of our wheat
crops, caused by excessive land speculations, instead
of land ploughing, throws us nsu nation, upon the
supply of foreign countries for our bread sluffs.—
Tins will n- cessurily take away our specie or which
i. the same thing, it must be paid with cotton which
is cash to us and operates as such in tbs exchanges.
Can the unutterable blockheads of the Courier
and Enquirer invalidate those facts and reasonings ?
Try it Sir Balaam.
Besides, on immediate investigation has been pro
posed, of the Banka, in the Legislature at Albany.
We are persuaded, that unless the greatest delicacy
is observed hy our banking and legislative institu
tions, the present state of England will give ns a
blow that we are not prepared for. Speculations
in real estate, origually urged tho over issues of the
banks in this country, and from appearances a new
movement is preparing on lids reticle which may
lead us yet further astray. On lids subject we have
received the follow ing statement from authority, re
lative to a sa’e of last week:—
“Correction.— it is erroneously'stated in an ex
cellent in tide contained in the Herald of Saturday,
the 7th inst., under tho head of “ Wall Street,” that
the property offered for sale at auction on the -till of
January, under the direction of F. Depeyster, Esq.,
Master in Chancery, was not sold, but bought in.
The tacts are as follows ; —This property was sold
under a foreclosure of a mortgage, executed by the
■ late Thomas 11. Smith to John Hone, deceased, tor
, upwards ol $170,000. The equity of redemption of
the property helorged partly to the Estate of Thom
-1 ns 11. Smith, and partly to Matildas Bruen. Neither
, the one nor the other was disposed to pay off tho
. mortgage, and hence the properly was sold under a
decree of foreclosure. At thesale, all hut three lots
was bought by Gco.go W. Bruen, Fsq., though the
medium ot a third party,at prices varying from 81,-
( 750 to 8-1,750 per lot. lie purchased the property
■ on his own account, and as low as he could. There
’ was no by bidding or oilier unfair practice at tho
saio, us tar as lie is informed The bidding was
lively ami by several competitors, and there was a
numerous and highly respectable company assem
bled. So far as cun be judged from the events of
tins sale, real cslnio never stood firmer. Had tho
bidding been a little higher, however, Mr. Bruen
would not have hem the purchaser of this property;
as it is, he bought the property at least 25 per Jcem
less than its value, and lie has paid Mr. Depeyster
tlic ten per cent upon 8159,280 or $15,923 pursuant
to the terms of sale.”
We ilo not perceive that lids statement differs at
ail float the general result of our remarks last Week.
1 lie writer admits that the “ property was bought in
at least at 25 per ecu: under iis vuluo" that is to say,
lire nominal vain - w hich such property was sold lor
hist jear. \Ve only contend lliai unproductive pro
• pirty is reaching gradually its real value, and that
j already n is 30 per cent tinder lust y> ur’s prices. 'The
. effort made hy the real istale dealers to hold on,
i keeps up tho interest of ngniey—but how long will
that continue ?
In all commercial matters we hold it best to tell
: the \\ hole truth, and not tojuggle and deceive us
the Mall street papers generally do.
