• SPEECH OF MR. WEBSTER. b Recent evils have not all surprised me, ex* » cent that they had come sooner and faster tin n * I had anticipated. But though not surprise g lam afflicted; I fed any thing out pleasure in » ■sn this early fulfillment of my predictions.— 1 Much injury is done which the wisest future 1 councils can never repair, and nuch more 1 hat never can be reminded but by such councils and by the lapse of lime.” From 1832 to the present moment 1 have seen this result. 1 J' may safely say 1 liave foraeen it because 1 have presented, and proclaimed its approach in eeory important discussion and dubiitc in ’ the public body pf which lam a member.— In 1832 I happened t« meet wi ll a citizen m ' Wheeling, now present who has this day re- 1 minded me, of what I then anticipated, as * die result of the measures which the Admin miration appealed to be torming in regard to 1 f thb ctfrrency. In the summer of the next ‘ year (-1880) I was liere, and suggested to friends Winn i knew to bo resolved upon by the Executive, vis .-thc removal of the deposite*, which was announced two months afterwards.

We learn to-day that most of the Eastern ' Ranks have stopped payment; dcposit.e banks 1 as well as others. The Experiment Ims ex- • fooded. That bubble which so inn ny of ns have all along regarded ns the offspring of | conceit, presumption, and politicsquackery; 1 has hurst. A general suspension o f payments * must be the result; a result which lias come, I even sooner than was prodiclod.

Every stop ii i our fi nancial and banking system since 1 832 lias been a false stop. It lias conducted u«. further and further from the pall) of safety. The discontinuance of (lie national bank, •the illegal removal of the doposites, the accu mulation of the public tovenuo in bunks sole cl ed by the executive, and for a long lime sub ject to no legal‘regulation or restraint, and finally the unauthorized and illegal Treasury older, have brought us where wo aro. Tho destruction of the national bank was the si#- nal for the creation of an unprecedented num ber of now Stain banks, tomu of them with morcdis irhporlionato and even more nomi nal captlai than the national hank had pet- . scasod. These banks lying under no re straint fron llic general government or any at its institutions, issued paper corresponding to thoirown sense of their immediutu inter eats and hopes of gain; the deposite with the Stale bunks, of the whole public revenue then accumulated to a vast amount, and making this deposits without any legal restraint or control whatever, increased both the power and disposition ot these hanks for extensive issues. In that, the government seems to have administered every possible provocation to tlie banks, to induce them to extend their circulation. It uniformly, zealously, and suc cessfully opposed the land bill a must useful measure, by which accumulation In thoTroas •wy would have been prevented; and, as if it desired ami sought this accumulation, it finally resisted,with all its power,the doposites among the Slates, ’ll is advanced as a reason lor tho present overthrow that an extraordinary spirit id '•peculation has gone abroad, am) has been manifested, particularly and strongly in tho endeavor to purchase tho public lands; but has not every act of the government directly encouraged this spirit! It accumulated rev enue which it did not need, all of which it left in the deposite banks. The banks had money to lend, and there were enough who were ready to borrow, for the purpose of pur chasing the public lands at government pri. ces. The public Treasury was thus made the great and efficient means ot effecting those purchases which have since been so denoudeed as extravagant speculation and extensive monoply. These purchaser* hor. rowed the public money; they used llicpub lie money to buy the public properly; they speculated on the strength of the public mon ey; and while all this was going 00, and cv ery man saw it the Administration resisted :o the utmost of its power every attempt to withdraw this money from the banks and from the hands of those ..peculators and dis tribute it among the people to whom it be longed. If there has been overtrading, the the government has encouraged there lias been rash speculation in the public lands, the government has furnished the means out ot tire Treasury. These unprecedented sales of the public domain, were boasted of as •proofs of a happy state of things, and of a wise administration of the govern ni nt, down to the Moment when Congress, in opposition to executive wishes, passed the distribution law, thus withdrawing tho surplus revenue from the deposite hank*. The success of that measure compelled a change in tho Exe cutive polity, as the accumulation of a vast amount of oicacy m the Treasury was no longer desirable. This is the most favorable motive to which 1 can ascribe tho Treasury order of July. It is now «aid f liet the order was issued lor the purpose of enforcing a strict execution of the law which forbids the allowance of credits , upon purchases of the public hods but there \ »va» no such credit allowed before; not bo , hour was given beyond the time of sale In , this resppect the order produces no diiforenco ( whatever. Its only elfoct is to require an mi- , mediate payment m specie, whereas before , an immediate payment iu Uio hill* Os specie- , payment hanks was demanded. There is no , more cre'dit in the one esae than in the other a and llw Government get* jrfst as much specie , in one case as in the other for nosocnor is the ( specie which the purchaser is compelled to 1,. procure, often at great charge, paid to the ! |j receiver, tfi»« it is sent to flic deposite banks 1 d and the Government has credit for it onlhc w books of the bank; but the sp“cio itself u tr again sold by the bank or disposed of as it c< sees fit. Ill* evident that tho Government tt gels nothing by alt tills, though tho purchas- ei sere and especially the purchasers of small tj tracts, are put to greet trouble and expense, u No one gams any Hung but the banks and a the brokers. It is moreover most true, that c the art of man could roll have devised u plan b more effcclu,ill) to give ll C large purchascisor p speculators a decided prelerence and advan- u In go over small puich-sCrs, who purchased n lor actual sell lenient, than lh# Treasury order r ot July, 1630. The stoppage ot the banks liowevever has now placed the actual settlor t in a still more unfortunate situation. How f is lie to obtain money to pay for his quarter s section. 7 Jlo must travel three or tour times » as many miles for it as bo lias dollars to pay r even if lie hlhiiilil be able U> obtain it at the o end ofthttt journey. I will not soy that other causes, both at t home and abroad, have hot bad an agency I in bringing about Uio present derangement. 1 I know that credits have been used beyond’d all former example that it is propable the c spirit of trade bus been too highly excited, ■ that the pursuit of business may have been pressed too fast and too far. All this lam t ready to admit. Rut, instead of doing any ] ibing to abate its tendency, rmr Government i lias been tiro prime instrument of fostering ( and encouraging it. It lirs parted voluntan- i ly, and by advice, with nil control over tlic i actual currency of the country, ll has given i a free and full scope to tho spirit of banking; ‘ it has aided the sp ,rit of speculation with the public treasure, c nd it lias done all this in the midst of loud-'.onmling promises of an ex clusive specie medium, end a professed de- 1 testation of s'.l banking institutions. It is in vam, therefore lo ssy that the pres ent slate of affairs is owing, not to Iho acts of Oovcrnr.iant but to the oilier causes over which tl'.c Government hud no control. Much of it if owing to tho course of the National Government; and what is not so to cause tho operation ot which Government was bound in <1 uiy to use all ils legal powers lo control. l.s there an intelligent man in the commu nity at this moment, who beloives that it the Rank of the U. States hod been continued, ifthc dopes'tea had not removed; if the specie ijircnlar had not been issued, |hu financial af i.uir* of Iho country would have been in ns bad I n stale as they now are? When certain con* sequences are repealedly depicted ond fore- i told, from particular.causes; when iho man. i nor in which llieso consequences will be pro. ' duced is precisely pointed out beforehand; and when the consequences como in the man- i nor foretold, who Will stand up and declare i that notwithstanding all this there is no cmi- i nexion between the cause.& the consequence, i and that all these effects arc nttribntuhlu to I some oilier causes, nobody knows what/ No doubt we shuU hearevery cause but the. I true ones, unsigned for the present distress, i It will bo laid lo the Opposition in and out of I Congress, it will bo lui *to the bunk, it w.ll bo < laid to the merchants, it will bo laid to the I manufacturers, it will bo hud to tbo tariff, it l will bo laid to tho north star, or to tho malign ' influence of tho last comet, whoso tail swept i I near or across the orbit of our earth, ho Core we shall, be allowed to ascribe it to its just, main causes—a tampering with the currency, and an attempt to stretch Executive power over a subject not constitutionally within its reach. Wo have hoard, gentlemen, of tho suspen sion of some of tho Eastern hanks only ; but I feat the same course may be adopted py all tho bank* throughout the country. Tho 11. S. Hunk, now u mere State institution, with no public depcsitos, no a d from ' Government, but, on (lie contrary, long an object of biller persecution by it, was, at our latest advices, still firm. Hut cun wo expect ot that bank to make sacrifices to continue specie payment ? If it continue to do so, now the deposite banks liavo stopped, tho Government will draw from it its last dollar, if it can do so, in order lo keep up a pretence of making its own pay ments in specie. I shall be glad if this insti tution find it prudent and proper lo bold out; but as it owea no more duty lo the Govern ment than any oilier bank, and, of course, much less than I lie deposite hanks, I cannot see any ground for demanding from it efforts anil sacrifices lo favour tho Government, which those holding the public money, and owing duty tb tho Government are unwilling t r unable to make; nor do I sue how the t\ ow England banks can stand alone in the gi. neral crush. I believe those in Massaclm set's are very sound, and entirely solvent— I In wo every confidence in their ability to pay; ami I shall rejoice if, amidst tho present wrcc h. we find them able lo .»ilhstnnd the storm -but at the same time 1 confess I shall not bo i lisnppoinled, if they, seeing no public object to bo attained, proportioned to the pri vate loss, and individual sacrifice mid ruin, which must result from tho means necessary to enah lo them lo hold out, should net tie dis tinguish ml from their Southern and Western llpighb" rs. 1 belie ve, gentlemen, the “experiment" must go through. 1 believe every part ami portion nl our country will have u satisfactory taste of the “hotter currency.” 1 believe wo shall be blessed again with the currency of 1612, when money was tho only unourreut spe cies of properly. We have amid all the dis tress that surrounds tie* men in anil out of pow er, who condemn u National Bank, in every form, maintain tho chV ' ac . v of State banks for domestic qxchango, mid --midst all the suffer ing and terrors of the “e.\pk , ‘ me,lt '” cry out that they are establishing a “beu'd currency.” Too ' experiment”—The experin. ‘ :nt u P on whall The experiment of one man ’’on tho happiness the well being and I maya. v|ost say upon the lives of twelve millions of In,’* man beings. An “experiment” that found us in health, that found ns with the best cur rency upon the race of the earth, (lie same from the North lo tho South, from Heston to St. Louis, equalling silver or gold in any part oftho Union, and possessing tho unlimited confidence oftho European Powers and peo ple, ond leaves us crushed, ruined without means at homo, mid with out credit abroad. This word “experiment" appears like to get into no enviable notoriety. It may pro bably be held, in future, to signify any thing which is too excruciating lo bo borne—like tho rheumatism, or an extraordinary twinge ot the gout. Indeed, from the experience wo now have, wo may judge that the eminence of the Inquisition may bo superseded by it, mid if one shall be hereafter stretched upon the rack, or broken on the wheel, it may bo said while all Ins bones are cracking, all his mus clcs snapping, all his veins are pouring, that he is only passing into a batter state through the delightful process of an experiment” Gentlemen, you will naturally ask where is this to end and what lobe the remedy? These ore questions of moment mis importance, but probably tin; proper moment has not come lor considering t his. We are yet in the midst of thd whirwind, and scarcely able lo hold our fiats on. Every man’s thoughts aro turned to his own immediate preservation. When the blast is over and we have breathing time, the country must take this subject, tins all impor tant subject of relief for tho present, and secu rity for the future; intuits most serious con sideration. It will undoubtedly first engage the attention and wisdom of Congress. It will call on public men entrusted with public ‘ affairs, to lay asside parly and private prefer- i •nc< 8 and prejudices, and unite in the great I work of redeeming the country from this state of disaster and disgrace. All that I « mean at present to say, gentlemen, is, that the i Government ot the United States stands ' chargeable, in my opinion, with a gross dorr fiction from duty in leaving the 'currency ot ~ the Country ctgjrfcly at the mercy of others;' v yithoiit seeking to cxcrc.M! dvcritany cop- . rol whatever. Tlie mean* of excrcumg this 91 sontrol rest* in the wisdom of congress, but tie duty I bold to be imperative. It is a pow- cal sr dial cannot bo yielded to others with sale- ry ty to itself or to them. U might as well give ev< up lliu power ot making or war to the States, ole and let twenty-six independent sever- ■■ eigntics to select their own toes, raise tbeir bwn troops and conclude their own terms ot peace. It miglit as well leave the Slates, lo impose tbeir own terras and treaties of com- la' murce, aa lo give up oil control over tiie cur- be rency, in which all are interested. wi The present Government tias been in opera- tion forty-eight ytars. During rarty of these forty-eight years wc have had a national in stitution performing the duties of a fiscal agent to the Government and exercising a 111 must useful control of the dontcstic exchanges V and over the currency of Iho country. Ihe \ first institution was chartered on the ground j r that on such an institution was necessary lo (( the safe and economical administration of the Treasury Department in the collection and disbursiuents of its revenue. The experience of (he new Government had clearly proved its loccssity. c At that time however, there were V.jee \ who doubted the power of congress, unt'.er the , provisions of the Constitution to inc orporate a bank; but n majority of both Hc .ges were s of different opinion. President Washington 1 sanctioned the measure, and among those 1 who doubled, those of most weight and con sideruliou in the country cad whoso opinions wore entitled to tho liig'iosl degree of respect ] yielded to the opinio l ., of Congress and the ( country, ami considered it a settled question. Among those who first doubted ot tbo power of the Government was one whose name should ( never be mnr .tuned without respect and ven- 1 erulioii as one man can or ought lo feel for an- 1 other, or.e who was intimately associated with j all the features of the Constitution, Mr. Mndi- , son; yet when Congress had decided on the measure, by large majorities, when the Presi dent bad approved it, when the judicial tribun- I als bud sanctioned it, when public opinion had I deliberately and decidiglly confirmed if, he t looked on the subject as definitely and finally ■c tiled. The rcasonors otour doy think olhfertVihe. , No decision, no public sanction, no judgment ( oft.lie tribunals is allowed to weigh against their own respect for tbeir Own opinions. They rush to the argument as to thatdfa new t question despising all lights bbtthatof their e own unclouded sagacity, and careless of the c venerable living and of the mighty dead. They poisethis importanttjdestjon upon some . small points ot their own slender logic and and decide it On the strength of their own ' unintelligiblb metaphysics. It ncVbr enldrs f into all their thobghtu tlial lliis is a fjuestion lobe judged of on broad, comprehensive ami practical grounds; still less does it occur to them that an exposition of the Constitution, cotemporuncous with its earliest existence.no- ( ted on (or nearly half a tientuoy, in which the > original (Varnei a and government officers of \ the liigliesl notes concurred, ought tb liave any weight in their decision or inspire them with the least doubt of tho accuracy and ( soundness of their awn opinions. They soar | so high in the regions of self-respect us to be , fui beyond the reacli of all such considers- , lions. | For sound viewi Upon thb subject of a ; national bank, 1 would commend you, gen- , tleihen, to tho messages of Mr. Madison, dial i lo'his message on the subject. That they are 1 the views Os a truly great man and a states- i man. I As the first bank of (ho United States had i its origin in necessity, so had the second ; | ami although there was misfortune, and ccr- • tainly something of mismanagement in its I early career, no candid and intelligent man I can for a moment doubt or deny its useful- 1 ness, or that it fully accomplished tho object for which it was created. Exchanged; dur ing all the later years of Its existeucb, were easily effected, and a currency the must uni form of aby in the wOHd existed throughout the country, Tho opponents of these insti tutions did not deny that general prosperity ami a happy state of tilings existed at tile time they were in operation; hut contended that equal prosperity would exist without . them, while specie would take tho place of j tbeir issues as a circulating medium.—How , have their words been verified 1 Both in the , case of the first bank and that of the hist, a , general suspension of specie payments has happened in about a year (rom the time tiiey were sullered to expire, and a universal con fusion and distrust prevailed. The first bank expired in 1811, and all tho .State Banks south of Now England stopped payment in 1612; the Charter of the late Bank expired in March, Iriffti. and in May, 1807, a like dis trust ami a like suspension by the State Banks takes place. , The same results, wo may readily suppose, are attributable to the same causes, and we must look lo the experience and wisdom of i the people, and of Congress lo apply the re quisite remedy. A Dilemma,—A fellow yesterday entered the 1 passage in tho Uialto, ’ between tho bar and tho I harbor’s shop. Ho had only ono solitary bitt, u long beared and a confounded thirst.

What lo do bo know not for a moment; but while ruminating upon his condition a thought struck him to toss up Ida bitt — heads, shave —tails, julep. Up wont tho bitt, and up came bonds! “That’s not fair,” said ho, and up goes tbo bit*, again, for .seven successive limes, and heads it was. Still it was not fair play.

Money Market and City Intellioence, Wednesday Evening May s.—Throughout the day there was a good deal of anxiety regarding bouses in the Bust and West India trade, and there were rumutltS of further applications hav ibg been made to tho Bank of England ; but the day passed over without any distinct allusion to any paiticulur firms.—Tilt) continued arrivals of goods, of which there ate already considerable supplies in the market, ill tho warehouses, or known to bo on their way to this country, togeth er with the fact of the prices of many of them having fallen full one-third within the last few disastrous months, with no very flattering pros pect of any great and immediate improvement, are not calculated to increase confidence in the present state of things, or in tho ability of large houses to nlcet obligations that must soon become dub. There were during the day many sales of Ex chequer Bills and India Bonds, which reduced tlie price of them considerably, as the bringing of them in(6 tlie market was uttiibuled to the ne cessity of meeting some temporary emergencies; though tho increasing dennind for tho American bills was probably the principal cause. It ap. pears that the bankers are in many cases adopt ing them for investments. In tho English stock-market there was not much done during the day. Consols advanced in tho early part of the dby to 90J; but in the af ternoon drodped a little, And finally closed at 'JO j to I for money and the account. In consequence of the corillnucil sa.e of Exchequer-bills, to which reference has already been made, the premium again declined, and was at one time as low as 335., hut improved towards the close of business and tell off at 345. to 36a. premium. There were syniptoma to day of a relapse into the commercial distrust, which was disposed to have been removed by tlie introduction of the American bills, Which prove, howfcver, at present by no means a sufficient relief, and the Bank Os England is again called upon to interfere. Some attribute it to the limited amount in which thbse securities have yet been sent, finder the unber tuinty of the reception they Were likely to ifieot with; hut thb real source of the evil, it j 8 now obvious, lies much dtepor. Nothing will place matters' on their former sound footing hut such a rise in prices as will allow of a fresh importation of produce as a medium of payment. Unfortu nately, a struggle ot the same kind has now commenced in ofif trade with tho East Indies and China, from whence immense consignments arc on their way hjtller, fin whicha loss of probably 25 per cent must hb sustained; looking at the stale of the home market. Willi the additional claims on tho Bank for support which arise out oflhsse new sources of commercial difficulty, the directors are evidently placed in a very embarrass ing position, and may even find the power fail them, whatever their disposition may be to assist. With respect to tho new American securities, the demand does not appear, from tile best informa tion that can bo obtained, at all diminish. Now that the bills which were without endorsement, and which were greatly preferred at tho Stock- Exchange, have gone off, tho endoised bills, which were objected to at first, arc beginning to pass current there, and the price is a remarkably steady ono, scarcely varying at all from the quo. tation of 94J to 95. Whoever ‘>'o amount of business in them may in reality he, they would never been so firm as they arc at )ht» finie. It has been stated that the hankers in some inaviv"* have refused to make advances upon them, hut this was probably because the parties possessed no regular claim for such assistance. Ifthis were the case, it would lie no argument with parties ’ utYing spare money at command against employ, j >iu that maimer, and it is chiefly in the hands of those ;vho are " ot , accust omed to ask for help at all that ttu' ,c grilles must come. They pre fer them to Exche4’ ucr l ’ llls or r "d'a Bonds, both for the higher rate of in fercst i.hey yield, and be cause they are secure for a given time against any reduction in tho rate of interest paid. The English stock-market was in some little hustle in the early part of tho day, Consols im proved a little and the closing price was firm at 90| for money and tho account. Exchequer-bills and India Bonds rallied, advanced to, and both left offal 28s lo 30s premium. Bank Stock was quoted at 303 j to 304, The foreign slock market did not display any remarkable fluctuations during any part of the day; but tho quotations showed a tendency to ' improvement.

We are indebted to Grinnell, Minturn & Co., for the Times of sth May—■'whence the follow ing account is taken. It has been stated with great confidence to-day, that one of the oldest firms in the American trafio made a second application to the Bank direction for assistance, and that it was followed by simi lar applications from other firms, which, though respectable, were not exactly of the same stan ding. It is understood that assistance has been given lo the firm alluded, for the temporary period ofa month, upon the representation that they expec ted to receive remittances from New York which would enable thorn to meet those advances. Business in the funds has not been carried on to-day to any great extent, and the chief feature of the consol market has Keen that whilst money stuck has been scarce, there has been Some speculation for a fall on the account. Wc know that the Bank Directors to-day have Keen acting with (ho utmost caution; hut wc trust that when they can see their rtay, they will afford their ass.sislance to houses engaged in the India and China trade, on a scale equity proportionable lo that which they have concedj cd to tho American trade* ’The monetary interests have however, advan ced money on paper that could bo relied on at tho rate of 4 1-2 per cent.
