Hall-past I*2. $
Dear M ;On taking out my chariot
this morning, for the first time since I got
home, from your liourc, to clean it and the
harness—(tor this dreadful spell of weather
has frozen us all up until to-day) the knife
was found in the bottom of t lie carriage, where
it must have dropped from a shallow waist
coat pocket, ns I got in at your door, for 1
missed the knife soon afterwards. When 11
got home, I had the pockets of the carriage !
searched and every tiling tlure taken out—
and it was not until John had searched strict
ly into my portmanteau and bag, taking out
•very article therein, that I became perfectly
convinced of what I was before fully persua
ded, that i had left the knife in my chamber
at your house, on Tuesday, the Gib, and when
I heard it had not been scon, I took it for
granted that your little yellow boy, having
•found it,’ had according to the negro code of
morality, appropriated it to himself. In this,
itseems, I was mistaken, and I ask his par
ion as the best amends that I can make hint,
and at. the same lime In relievo you and Mrs.
M. from the unpleasant feeling that a suspi
cion would occasion, I despatch this no'c by
a rpecial messenger, although I have a cer
tain conveyance to-morrow.
I make no apology to yours-jf or ;,J M . M. i
for the frank expression bi my suspicion, be- '
cause truth is tin* goJdass at whose shrine I
worship, & no llougenot in France, or Muris
co in Spain, ami Judaizing Chr stun of Por
tugal, ever paid more deady for his liorotical
schism, than I have done in leaving the estab
lished church of falsehood awl grimmaee. I
«m well aware that ladies are us delicale as
they are charming creatures, and that in
our intercourse with them wo must strain
the truth us far ns possible. Brought up from
their earliest infancy to disguise their real
•entiment, (fora woman would be a monster
who did not practice this disguise) it is tiicir
(privilege to ho sincere—and wo should de
spise them, ami justly too, if they had that
manly frankness and unreserve which consti
tutes thu ornament of our character, ns the
very reverse does of theirs. We must there
fore keep this in view in nil our intercourse
with them ami recollect that as our point of
honor is courage and frankness, theirs is chas
tity and dissimulation; for, us I said before, n
woman who does not dissemble her real feel
ings is a monster of impudence. Now there
fore, it doss so happen, (ns Mr. Canning
would say,) that truth is offensive to the ears
of a lady, when to those of a gentleman (her
husband for instance) it would not be at all
so.
To illustrate—Mrs. R. of 15, my brother’s
widow was beyond all comparison, the nicest
and beat housewife that I over saw. Not one
drop of water was ever suffered to stand upon
her sideboard, except what was in the pitcher;
the house from cellar to garret, and in every
part as clean us hands could make it, mid eve
ry thing us it should be, to suit even my fas
tidious Inble.
I lived there afior my brother's death, from
1790 to ISIO inclusive, ami never did I see
or smell any thing to oflinil my senses, or my
imagination, hat once,—Except In autumn, 1
would defy you to liud a leaf or feather in the
iyard. No poultry wore permitted to conic
auto it, a;id we had no dirty children, white or
■negro, to make littre and filth. A strong en
closure of sawn plank, eight feel high, fenced
.in tire kitchen, smoko house, veal house, wood
.house, ( n which the wood fur use, was slack
ed away under key.) The turkey and the
hen houses were in the same enclosure, which
had two doors, one next the dwelling house
for the use oft lie mistress and of the mistress
and house servants, and one largo enough to
admit a wagon on tiro back or north side, be
yond which was a well built quarter, with two
Jrrick chimneys, and two rooms with lire pla
ces, and four rooms, without foi servants.
Theta was also (.vital 1 had tovjjut) a spin
ning and weaving house.
At night the doors of the onc'osuro were
Hocked up—not a servant being allowed to
sleep within it, although every ono o( them
w as in sound of the lady's I oil.
On one unhappy day in a very l |f) t 11 nd damp
ispcll of weather of lung continual. I ' o !l ptecu
of cold lamb was brought to the la.'lo that
was spoiled—the first slid last instant.-' 01
nearly fifteen years, of the ("lightest neglect
in household economy. I ordered the waiter
totuko it away, it being spoiled. Mrs. It.
resented this, and flatly comrade led rnO, all d
although the lamb absolutely stunk, she alt u
part of it to prove her words true, and was af
fronted wnh me almost past forgiveness. 1
dare say that if I had not noticed the lamb,
she might have given a hint to the servant to
lake it away, but the honest naked truth was
not to be borne. Wo had no company but
Dudley and her younger son, then school
boys, ami un EiglUhmau named Knowles,
who a ted as overseer or steward, and dined
with us until lie look to drink.
Mrs. 11. stonily denied that lire lamb could
be spoiled, because it had bue;i boiled only
the clay before, and had been in the ice house
ever since. I admitted her facts, hut denied
her logic, which was truly a woman’s. I
maintained that the highest evidence was
that til the senses ; that we must reason from
facts whore wo could get at them; and it was
only where we c arid nut, that it was fair to
argue from probabilities ; that the lamb stunk,
and therefore could net be sound. This she
denied, am! to prove her words actually made
shift to swwlluw half a mouthful, which under
olhorcircumniiiii es she Would not have done
for a thousand dollars—So much for the la
dle's ; charming creatures, the salt of the
earth, who like uncle Toby and all other old
bachelors, 1 never could thoroughly under
stand lor want ot the hey of matrimony
which done can unlock their secicis ami
make plain (as many a husband can toll) ail
the apparent contradict ions in thcircharacters.
Yes, so intish for tlie fairer and hotter part ot
creation, (as from my soul I believe them to
be;) but who, as thu Wavorly man says ot
Kings, ‘an- kittle cattle to shoe behind." And
so it ought to he, for it is their power and al
most privilege to kick, while we roam where
we will, and they must sit still until tucyarc
asked. I therefore, am for upholding them
ii; ail their own proper privileges, so long as
they they do not encroach upon those of men.
A woman who misexes herself deserves tube
treated, and will be treated as man.
As to honesty ot servants, I have always

SECRET HISTORY.
Judge Breckonridgo thus speaks of Gen. Jack
son’s Farewell Address.
“His Farewell Address is in all probability the
prnluriion of some such fatbemf bis country «s
Amos Kendall, with just a sufficient specie of
Jacksonism to give it vraisemhlance. 1 know
I something about the farewell addresses, having
i written two of tlicill for him. The first of those
was on the occasion ofhi» taking leave of his
command in the army. The only part of it
which w«» his, was an uncouth memoran
dum, containing some illiberal and ungentle
manly reflections on « brother officer, who stood
high iirthc esteem of his country, ((Sen. Brown)
but who, in a recent military order, had been so
unfortunate es to speak with disapprobation of
the practice of whipping in the army; and this
was all ho contributed to the address. The
j paternal advice to the young officers, and the fine
(military and patriotic feeling which breathed
I though the rest of it, were altogether dramatic.
The other Stale paper was on his leaving Florida
where he had displayed hie excessive energy, for
several months, as the military ami civil Governor
—Fou know,’ said he, ‘what will suit.’ Accor
dingly, I wrote an address, without a tingle sng
gestion from him, and which was signed without
n single altercation. The address alluded to was
often quoted to prove the fitness of General Jack
son for civil government, to show his exalted love
of liberty, ami the absence of dangerous ambid.tni
in his nature. It was highly culot”.i e d as his
production. I own I had som" uesign, by con
tras!, in portraying wire* „ (Javcrnor ought
to tie, to express opinion of what ho was.”
“ * •"’"apacity of General Jackson has be
come -jj proveibial, that it would be mere alfec
, doiiof delicacy to be silent. Mr. Duane lias dr
| dared, “ that he has no distinct ideas on any sub-
Ijccl," ami Mr. llerrian very significantly cays,
• that which I sign I write;’ meaning that Gene
ral Jackson signs that which he does not write.
At the commencement of his administration a
pleasant anecdote was related to rnc by ono ol
the cleiks in the Department of . lute. Gen.
Jackson having received a complimentary letter
from UusUmente, the President of Mexico, sent
it to the office wilh the following laconic en
dorsement ; ‘ Mr. Van Huron will reply to the
letter of General Bustamante with the (rankness
of a soldier.’ The .Secretary laughed heartily at
this conceit, as he was neither at soldier nor re
markable for frankness.”

MEXICO.
This ill-fated country, as will be seen by a re
ference to the latest intelligence which wo pub
, lish to-day, is again on the eve of revolution; and
its affairs arc assuming an interesting character,
so far as they arc connected wilh the tranquillity
and independence of Texas. If, as is stated, the
army at Metamoras, destined to act against the
Tuxians, has (alien up its lino of march for Mexi
co—wo may consider this movement and the dis
united slate of the capital, us a guarantee at least
of the present tranquillity of Texas,
, MISSISSIPPI.
The Mobile Commercial Register of the 13th
1 Inst., from which we make the subjoined extract,
depicts in gloomy colours the condition of Mis
-1 sissippi—and perhaps in no section, is the present
revulsion in the money market, or the decline in
the estimated value ofpropotly and produce, more
severely fell than in that slate. 'The crisis has
i yet lo come—and to bo met by the sacrifice of
1 properly ala most ruinous reduction. The mania
for speculation—ovorbanking—and overtrad
ing is thus working its own cure, and though thou
sands may become the victims of past fol
ly, the actual wealth and resources of the country
remain unchanged—undiminished. The panic
once over, the operations of trade will again flow
back to its regular and accustomed channel. The
Legislature convened on tho 47th—wo may now
look perhaps for the creation of new monied fa
cilities to slop the evil—at a time too, when the
1 banking capital of the slate is nominally not less
1 than thirty six millions.
“ Tho Planters,” says the Courier, “ in Hinds
1 countv, the residence of the Governor, and thu
adjoining counties, arc sullering in a manner that
' is truly indcaerimible. Their negroes are sacri
ficed for a mere song, and the Sheriff is taking
away at immense sacrifices, the estates and effects
- ~f numbers, -So oppressive indeed, have tho
i times become, that wo are informed that in Hinds
I county, so onerous and disagreabio have become
tho Slicrifl’sduties, that no person who can give
, the requisite security, will assume the duties of
that office.” This is a dismal picture of distress
—the distress of a whole people ; and It is not
perhaps lo bo wondered at, that the Governor, re
-1 siding in tho midst of the great sufferers, should
■ . vtold t.» their wishes and convoke the Legislature.
jj I what can the Legislature do 1 Tho Stale
■ credit is already pledged for millions of bonds,
I which will not sell; this resource for sustaining
1 credit is hopeless. Banking capital, so far as 10-islatures
-islatures can make it on paper, abounds ; the

“It is well known with what dexterity that emi

he prided himself in distributing his immense re

yet the sudden withdrawal of this artificial aid
in an inopportune moment has tended to aggre
gate evils which his energy and promptitude
might have checked. The difficulties which
have been experienced since bis death, induce me
to think that no one ever displayed greater abili
ty tb in he did in equalizing tho exchanges, and
I attribute, much of tbe late embarrassment to Ibe
loss of that activity, zeal, and enterprise, which
lie always displayed in times ol financial difficul

LATEST FROM MEXICO.
i By the brig Cazanovc, arrived yesterday from
4 Vera Cruz, wo have received our tcgulai files of
Mexican papers to the 21st nit.
Four French national vessels were cruizing
s ofl’Wra Cruz. A frigate under tho tri color flag
1 and left Martinique, it is said to join this fleet.
1 We arc not informed of flic object of tiicir visit.
Tbit Diario del C aider no in republishing the
: laic message of President Jackson, from this pa
’ per, stliles, that a copy of the message has been
’ sent to tho Minister at War by the government
4 of Vor.t Cruz. The supremo government, ac-
J cording to that paper have laid this document be
’ fore their council in order that the latter may dc
' termini*) upan what measures shall ho pursued in
* case tl(e Senate of tho United Stales, shall con-
I cur in the suggestions of tbc President. The
j national Congress have also been apprised of tho
position ofaliuirs between tbe two governments.
' Tnc government of Mexico says the Diario, will
not suiter themselves to be frightened or discon
’ ccrlej by throats. The national honor will be
- defended, and preserved inviolable; and tbo diffi
culties bo hoard and adjusted according to the
3 principles’of international law. The tiaris is the
government paper, and doubtless speaks advised
ly. Another paper, tho Cosmopolita also dis
cants upon this exciting subject. It states that
l> the war against tbe United States is the object of
’ attention with all men of reflection; but that tho
" body lo whom the name of Congress has 1 eon gi
*; veil, appear lo treat it with the most marked indif-
II foraacc. Tho President of the United Stales do
*’ dares in his message that the commcrcF of that
republic has been attacked by Mexico: that Mr.
1 Butler had only loft when treated with disdain;
’ that the North American flag had not been rc
® spotted in the Gulf of Mexico; and that lie feels
himself under tho necessity of suggesting that

ii some friend to General Jackson is to announce
i- that tho United Stales should be idemuilied by
tbc cession of Texas and another portion of the
) Mexican territory. In ibis way the colonists of
Texas will afli-ct their object, and tho cabinet at
( Washington theirs, without departing from the
lino of policy by which they profess to be actua-
I ted,
Why do tho editors ot the Journals in the con
fidence of the government keep silence at such a
, moment I—They who have gratuitously charged
us wilh being enemies of the integrity of the
1 territory ot Mexico ! Is it because those per
s sons who declare that they consider tho people
v of Texas as no more than animals, are about to
abandon this portion of onr territory ! All ex
hibits the brilliant situation of our foreign rcla
’’ lions. The Centralists who now direct our af
fairs, have carried them on ruinously ! Mr.Bus
tameuto, deputy, has at length, appreciated the
merits of the actual ministry ; the discourse he
pronounced in Congress, and w hil-h we publish
0 in our columns of to-day, exhibit the state of
public opinion. If affairs remain much longer
in such incompetent hands, wc shall lose Texas,
d the two California*, the territory of new Mexico,
and great portion of that of Sonora.
d Tho reader will see much to amuse him in the
a foregoing, particularly where allusion is made to
a the United Stales, and to the intentions of our
■ Government. But the conclusions are unerring
i. that unless Mexico undergo some very great mo
ral reformation, the whole territory must be broken
into fragments, which will establish small go
s comments, or unite wilh some oilier power. The
■ CosMoeoLiTA is tbe principal opposition paper
in Mexico, and is devoted to liberal principles 1
1 but in that benighted land, the most liberal have
imt an indistinct knowledge of the mode of netti
ng the blessings of true liberty.
The governor of the department issued a proc- «
lunation, the principal details ol which were as d
follows: h
From 3 o’clock in the afternoon every assem- p
Mage of more than 5 |icrson« is fotbidden, and |t
all persona contravening the orders shall be or- i v
rested by the patrols and officers of police. i f
All traders without distinction shall open their js
doors at 4 o’clock and under no pretext shall they i c
receive the copper money at the value fixed by i
the law of the 9th March, under the penalty of I
two hundred dollars fine.
Dealers in provisions arc subject to the same ]
regulations. 1
The auxiliary alcaldes and their subordinates i
shall under the strictest responsibility, and a pen- i
nlty of 300 dollars finu preserve order in their
quarters and prevent all assemblages. I
Until tranquility shall be perfectly re-establish- I
ed, no individual not military, shall appear in the i
streets on horseback. 1
Those who shall violate lids order shall be
forthwith arrested, and the animals on which
they ride shall be detained until they pay a line
of one hundred dollars.
All the authorities of the departments will be
held strictly responsible for the due execution of
the above ordinance.
Among the courageous chiefs and brave officers
who exhibited a zeal and activity in this emergen
cy above all praise, are Garnoz do la Cortina, for
merly governor of Mexico, who during his 100
brief admlnistiation gave so many proofs of bis
solicitude for the maintainanco of the public
peace; General (Juijano, whose energetic con
duct excited the admiration of all who witnessed
these deplorable scenes j the officers of the regi
ment of fgunla ; Montesdeoca, officer of the ca
valry of Toluca ; Castro, captain and aid-de
camp to the commanding General in Mexico ;
besides a groat number of others whose names
we regret being unable to mention.
7 c’clock, jl'.M, All the crowd had disperse and
disappeared with the day. Tl»r centre ol the city
is quiet—but wo hear there arc still disturbances
in the surburbs,
Sunday, 15W March—The city appears to be
quiet, and the night passed olf without any tum
ult. Strong patrols traverse the slrccts. and the
small crowds which show themselves disperse at
Iho first summons*

moralits is deslroycd and the public misery has
arrived at its height.
Such as a sample of what is incessantly repea
ted by the journals of the opposition, with a sen
timent of simulated pity or an cxagcraled phrase.
These words pass from moulh to mouth —they be
come more serious as they are propagated, and
malevolence presents the misfortunes oflho re
public as bloody phantoms, which are dragging
us lo speedy and invUablc destruction. It these
declamations diminished the afflictions of the
country we should refrain from Unveiling the
treacherous intentions of those who use them—
but they exasperate and augment the mischief
they defeat the remedies applied to it and public
tranquility: —Diarro (Id Oopierno.
On the 15th inst a popular tumult broke out
at Orizaba, which is said to have originated in the
reduction of the copper coin. The populace
rushed in crowds at first into the public places,
and afterwards to a bouse inhabited by sono
Frenchmen, shouting Death lo foreigners. At
the same moment the house was surrounded, and
the crowd war, preparing lo enter when the
monks of a neighboring convent run to the spot,
defended (he entrance into the house and altcr
wards showing themselves on the balcony they
prevailed on the unfortunate devils in the crowd
lo retire. The curate of the city having under
stood what was passing repaired lo the spot. He
mixed in the crowd, ami with tears in his eyes he
besought the ill-inclined to refrain from doing
that of which they would afterwards repent.
“Let us olf to Uocolapa!” shouted some of the
most furious in the croud. Uocolapa is the place
whore the brothers Lcgraml have established a
manufactory. They immediately set off in that
direction and came up with several persons sent
before tg the manufactory. The latter were in
sulted,but bad the prudence to abstain from using
the arms in their possession, and several French
men were more or less severely wounded in the
struggle that ensued.
When they arrived at Cocolapa they broke
into the bouse, destroyed the counting room, tore
the books to pieces, seized on GOO dollars in sil
ver and every thing they could lay their bauds
upon.
We are compelled lo stay at homo, says the
author of the letter, so much do we dread the an
ger of this savage hand. The monies do not aban
don us, and have been to us a second Providence.
Above all, in common with all the Frenchmen
hero, I render thanks to the monks of the convent
of elan Jose de Graida and to the curate of that
church for the zeal they displayed in our defence,
and in calming tho angry populace. A remon
strance was addressed to tho local authority who
was not backward in sending an answer—both
of these documents will bn given in our next.

Tub Uuancu Hank.—We admit into our col
umns to-day an article censuring this Institution
for tho very act which we have already taken oc
casion to speak in favor of. We do this on the
ground that wo will always give those who differ
with us in opinion, a hearing through our col
umns, provided their communications arc couch
ed in respectful terms. We think now as wc
thought at tho time of its passage, that tho reso
lution adopted by the Branch of the State Bank
was one to bo approved—not condemned.—And
. we would be glad to have the other Banks do as
much towards relieving the pressure. It may be
■ asked what good the Kesolutiou in question was
: designed to effect ! Wc think it was designed
1 to do this much good at least; There were debt
- ors to that Dank, under protest, whoso aggregate
■ liabilities to the Bank amounted perhaps to $400,-
i 000, and who had altogether the sura of $350,-
l 000 in their pockets, stay ing there, doing nothing
. but waiting lor $150,000 more to bo added there
- to, so that the protested notes might he taken up,
t Or, for another example, A. had a note protested
1 of $ 1,000, and B. one of $3,000, &U. another ol
SIOOO. A. had in his pocket, S3OOO, B. SIOOO, &
r C. SBOO. In this stato of affairs, the Bank passed
- the Resolution, offering all under protest to pay
a one quarter down, and the remainder in nine
b months. At once, the debtors to the amount ol
l> SIOO,OOO, who have been suffeing in feelings so
o long w ith $250,000, in their pockets, because
r they could not got $ 150,000 more or take up then
• notes, arc relieved. They pay over sloo,ooo—
dear oft te Bank for nine months—and have
0,080 left to throw into circulation, and dc

were protested for, lor the purpose of try.'u.? tc
meet the same, then the Bank could scarcely Jo
stuli persons any service, in our view of the sub
ject, without running an unauthorized risk, and
thereby doing itself a flagrant injustice.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser April 17.
The Boston Commercial Gazette having ad
vertised the house of Gidcoc Leo <fc Co. of this
city, as among the “failing,” that -lirm has both
promptly and properly contradicted the report.
In their letter on tlie subject, eddressod to the
Boston Gazette, we find the following passage:—
“Wc think it may be proper to add, for tho sat
is faction of our numerous business-correspon
dents, and other friends, at this time of unparallel
ed commercial revulsion —that onr house, par
ticularly the senior member, having been about
forty years in a regular business, measurably prof
itable', wo have necessarily accumulated a sum of
wealth somewhat larger than is necessary for rea
sonable men lo desire.”
Wc have no doubt of the fact, and that the
surplus may he no longer burdensome to them, we
would respectfully inform Messrs, Lee <Sc Co.
■ that if they will call upon us, we can put them in
away of disposing of all that necessary accumu
! lation, which, as ‘t reasonable men,” they have no
! desire longer lo be bothered with.

Rf.mahks. —The stocks have all fallen to-day ni
without exception. The market is sickly, and
distrust is as great as ever. A numberof failures _
have occurcd since Friday, and more ato to bap- ,]
pen. The committee appointed to goto Albany 0
to get the loan of Stato credit for six millions, (<
will meet with very little success, if we may judge
from the fact of there being no bids for the Slate P
stock issued by the Canal Commissioners. If f
capitalists will not buy State stocks, bearing an ,
interest of 5 and 0 per cent., surely tho New
York committee cannot make them. I.
Tho news from the cast is highly unfavorable, 1
Failures arc now taking place at Boston and I
other places. The Boston papers say the railroad (
cars are filled with capitalists on their way to this t
city, to look after their investments. i
What adds to the pressure is, the Brokers re- 1
fused to deal in Bank notes ol other cities, and
the consequence is that uncurrent money is un
saleable, while deposilcs can only bo made in ,
current money.

CITY NEWS.
Sunday 3 I*. M.—The article from the Globe,
developing the intended policy of Mr. V an Buren,
seems to be of sufficient importance to entitle it
to tho most devoted attention of the business com
munity.
Tito article from the Slate paper, the Argus,
announcing that no efforts were made for the
State Stock, must show the Committee who have
gone to Albany, that hopes of relief from a Stato
Stock, are now quite chimerical.
From New Orleans, we have accounts of yet
other failures of some importance. The rumors
of the failures of Banks in Massachusetts, arose
from a publication in a paper of that city, called
tho “Reformer,” which announced that the Dan
vers Bank, the Havre-bill Bank, and the Lafay
ette Bank at South Boston, have all failed. There
is not one word of truth in this statement.
These banks arc all sound, and their bills pass
freely.
We find in the Boston Gazette and Conline!,
the following letter;
New Yoiik, April 13, 1837.
Messrs. Homer & Palmer, and Joseph T.
Adams:
Gentlemen—We acknowledge the receipt of
your Gazette of yesterday, announcing the failure
of our House, with others of this city—also your
printed handbill contradicting the Gazettes
Statement, accompanied by your manuscript com
munication explaining the occurrence.
Wo feel greatly obliged for the promptitude
with which you coirectcd the error, and we think
it may bo proper to add, for the satisfaction of
our numerous business correspondents, and other
friends—at this time of unparalleled commercial
revulsion—that our House, particularly the senior
’ member, having been about forty yoarsiu a regu
lar business, measurably prolitable, wc have nc
ceasarily accumulated a sum of wcallh’somewhut
larger than is necessary for reasonable men to
desire —over and above paying all our indebted
-1 ness of whatever name or nature. Wo will add
farther, that wo have method in our business, and
shall be pleased lo exhibit all our business books
and affairs to any of our creditors in your vicin
ity, or elsewhere, who may desire to see them—
and who will do us the favor to call on us.
Permit us to repeat that wo arc pleased with
the manner in which you have treated this matter
as respects yourselves.
Very respectfully your ob’t scrv ts.

u MONEY MARKET.
I Monday, April 17.
” Another batch of failures took place on Satur
day—several bouses in the French dry goods
'I trade, in Pearl street, and one in tho American
, dry goods commission lino. Those houses are
II all reported to have ample assets to meet their li-
L ’’ abilities. Yet there begins to exist some doubt
l " whether the statements of surplus assets arc Ims
i° ed on reasonable values. The revolution of pri
-1 ces still continues, and on this point depends the
value of assets. On Salurday tho house and lot
I 675 No. Broadway, sold for $19,000. In Dc
cetnber last this property was rated at $30,000.
Many of the assets oflho broken houses areenu
mcrated at the values of last December—a very
salacious statement to go by.
I The accounts from the eastern slates are be
l ginning to bo disagreeable. The failures here
" have already brought down several manufactures
' in Providence, Taunton, Boston, and Lynn, he-
I sides one or two banking institutions. Great ap
prehension begins to be entertained in New Eng-
Is
Such is the condition of things. On looking
>s over the whole commercial machine of England
, ( l and tho United Slates, wc begin to come to the
t conclusion that the terrible crisis has not yet
passed. In Jan. 1836, the specie in the Bank ol
, England was $35,200,000 of our currency—in
’ Feb., 1837, it was $31,000,000, yet the circula
’ lion was nearly iho same—tho expansion tho
ft same. In the United States, the quantity ofspe
eio is overrated—probably we have not morc
|’j than $25,000,000 of effective specie lo act as tbo
basis of our prodigious circulation and extended
j, bank credits. The western states nro at this mo
, incut tho most plentifully supplied, in consc
quenco oflho government measures and treasury
circular. We doubt whether tho crisis now up-
C ou us, is not a general and radical revolution in
1Q the prices of all commodities, caused by a gencr
c deficiency in the specie now cxising over tho
commercial world. During the last twenty years
_ gold and silver have been becoming scarce.—
Much has been taken from circulation for the
l 0 purpose of manufacture and ornament —and little
~ has been produced by the mines. Tho remainder
* becomes of course more valuable. Yet while
gold and silver diminish in quantity, trade and
credit, and paper money, based on such a mea
|(l sure of value, have increased. It is a problem,
j s then, whether there is, or is not, gold and silver
l( enough in either country, England or tho United
0 Slates, sufficient to sustain the paper currency of
' only ono of them. If there is not specie enough,
then the revolution now going onward, is a radi
cal movement that will carry prices and values
0 I p to what they were in Europe m 1500, bc
’■ p oro (ho discovery of America had flooded the
1 world with tu " P rcc ‘ ous metals, and thereby re
duced their value. inequality, therefore, in
iho momentum of ci caused by the specie
policy of the American go\Y r nmenl may most
° likely shake the Bank of England, all her joint
1 stock banks, and every institution in the I uited
' Slates, save a few banks here and in the west
c that possess the gold and silver produced by (he
sale of public-lands. We dread the future.
