'ME NEXT SPEAKER.
Tbt increata of Iho Admini.lroiion vole nfiwn
member, in llio recent Maryland election, .com.
to Brittle tiro point itt their ttrinde that on Ad
miitiitrnlion Speaker will be circled. The ob.
ject i< dill or difficulty, and overt with that (di-
non and alee the Miieiuippi member., -linnIJ
they be carried it it dill very doubtful whether
all Adiiiiiiietiniion Speaker can ba clroien.
Let u* look calmly ut the whole aspect of
things. U may bo asked* why slioiUdghc admin
istration be so anxious to carry l^rRpoitkciT
Why this expenditure of money—this constant
interference in State elections—this use of the
public patronage-this movement of *11 anuy
ofoffice holders to elect such mcuibor* of Coir
grass who will make choice of an admitiistra-
tion Speaker? The nnswer is at hand. A
Whig Speaker will appoint Committees, who
will honestly end (irmly biitg to the view of
the people tire gross usurpations of power,
violations of low, nnJ corrupt practices of the
present administration; and so powerful will be
the effect produced by ibis expose, theta change
of rulers inevitably follows.
An admini*Uaiioii conscious of its integrity
•nd purity of intentions, would rather invite the
appointment of a Whig Speaker than to have
• friend in that chair; hot it cannot bo donu
with any safety, and no sacrifice will be neglect*
cd to secure a Speaker friendly to the admini**
tration. Tin dilncuhy, however, is simply this-
The President, in calculating his strength, re-
'lies on Mr. Calhoun, end the State Sights men
from South Carolina. Alabama and Georgia.
Without their votes, hecaunot succeed.
The Speaker, who answers every -purpose
ofths administration, is one who allows the
committees to be made up at the White House
—who has no opinion or voire of his own in
the matter—who follows instructions and obera
orders. 8ach a one. for example, as Dr. Dun*
can. or tome others, whom Mr. Benton or
ftlr. Kendall could name. Such a Speaker
neither Mr, Calhoun nor the Slate Bights men
from the South can support. Mr. Pickens, of
8outh Carolina, lias been already'named for
the office, and if he should be chosen, lie is Mr.
Calhoun's and not Mr. Van Uurcii'a Speaker.
If Mr. Calhoun holds the destinies of the ad
ministration hi his hatnfo. it cannot be expected
that lie is to labor to promote Mr. Van Horen's
reflection, and leave him to nominate Ueutmi
or Kendall at hit successor. Coidulity, com
frdence and affection cannot exist betwen there
distinguished men—the present temporary al
liance is a ‘fair business transaction.’ and will
bo socotisidereo. Here is the eiiibarras-ment
of the whole question. There are n»i sufficient
collir ruen elected for the udniiuistraiintt to make
e Speaker : they must depend on uuxdiary
aid from a quarter which agrees with the ad
ministration oil certain points only, and that
•uxitary force already uskt for the appointment
of Speaker. If the Whigs, therefore, have not
sufficient strength to elect their csndidattvmd the
administration will not consent to receive Mr.
Calhoun'* candidate, then the whig* will throw
their weight in favor of Mr. Picki-tis, and if
tie is eleciod. ho must bo considered es having
been chosen by the opposition, 11, on ths con
trary, the administration consents to the election
of Mr. Pickens,'or any of the Southern cam
didales, tM$ whijts are tha gainer*, for «*• know
at no Individual of any note or character from
that section of the country whuavill consent to
receive e listef his committees from th* hand*
of the Presidi-nt; and nothing short of such n
Speaker will benefit tho administration. We
speak of these things from our knowledge of
the men, aud what must be done in tbo pre
mises. Polk, Cembreleng, Silas Wright, lion-
can, dtc—such are the men who may be called
thorough, entirely, & always to be led,but such
are not the men of the South.
The Whigs in Congress nre in an important
position. They undoubted, have the most tal
ent. On a long session the Whigs invariably
gain, and although recent elections have in a
small meaxuro strengthened tho administration,
wo think the embarrassment* of the country aud
(lie pertinacious adherence of the administration
to ths Subdreasury and hard currency will, in tho
and, oveiwhvliu.them. Whatever may be Aid
of the disposition of the South to favor the Sub-
treasury, recent events in Europe and iu this
country, have changed some of their views.
The Southern banks are not in a position to
weaken their specie or note circulation by con*
wilting to place their entire interests at the mer*
cy or any political administration. The ‘experi*
meni’ has been felt by the South as well as the
Nor.h; und now the cotton growers feel the no-
eevity of having tho exchanges regulated, their
means increased, and their independence of
European {capitalists placed on a sure footing.
If the Whigs, therefore, in Congress nro discreet
and sagacious, they have the gume in theitowi*
bands. They must not quarrel with men be*
cause they go to a certain extent with the ad*
minisuation. On cardinal points they will be
able to carry suclr men with them, and this will
give the Whigs the victory.
Wo omitted to notice that Mr. Dawson, of
Gc., is also spoken of as the administration can.

Lame dalle Occurrence.—Four Pr.rtont Drown.
td in Lake Michigan.—Wo are indebted to Mr.
A. II. Gardner.ofthe araamboat Do Witt Clin
ton, for tho following particulars. He says:
"On the 11th inst., while on our return trip *
from Chicago, we stopped at Milwaukic There
isna pier at that place, and such vessels as touch
there, have to anchor one mile from the beach.
On the day above mentioned, a boat’s crew,con
flisling of Capt. A.If. Squires, L. Randall,clerk;
W. Vosburg, steward; <>. Brown, mute; Mr.
Johnston the gunerul agent of the Norwegian
Company, Captain of the steamboatTowbridge,
a stranger, naino unknown, and myself, went
on shore at that place. Business comprlled us
to do so, ami itwusB o’clock at night before wo
attempted to return.
When aboutliulf way from thoshoro the boat
swamped, and all wore in an instant buiied in
the Lake. It was so dark that we could hardly
distinguish each ollior.. While in tho water 1
wa< seized with butli hand* iu my neckcloth by
the.Norwe^iqn. I attempted to disengago my,
self from him, but 1 could not, and wo sank to
gether. When at the bottom 1 seized one oftlie
man’s bands, and by a desperate effort with my
hands and feet, freed myself uud 1 saw hi ai no
more.
Ou coming to the swf >ce chance throw ntt oar
in my way, which I seized, and it gave me con
fidence. After a few minutes I wus. thrown
ojrainsi the yawl, and by much exertioul got in.
A hero was no person in it, or near, that I could
■so. Proiontly l saw the arm of a inm abovo
the water, near tho stern of the boat. It turned
out to be Capt. Squires.
At this time I was much exhausted, but still
strong enough to olasp the thwart of the boat
which prevented my being washed ovoibuard
again. But of tho Captain. He some how or
' \>ther regained fhe-yawl, and ran his arm thro’
the etern ‘ring bolt.* - The wares were all the

Mid was m sacred tit a Treble tone by the Cap
tain. who undo on lepoal my name, so anxious
was lie for mv safety, lie must have been
much esliMinted. While in this situation the
body of Drown floated by; the Captain caught
hold of it, Imt it was washed nut of Ins hands,
and was found on shnio next morning.
In this situation we must have Ifetnninvn over
nit hour—each cheating the other—until finally
the captain slid, ‘Gardner*call out, l am going.
Ifyou reach the shore, tell ilraut where I mil. I
(tied to encourage the captain, and told him 1

head thrown back, ns if dead. 1 again called
upon him to cxail hitmelf. but to no use. At
this lime tho light approached us. It was on
tho shore towaid which we hau been washing
all llio time. The people—among whom was
Mr. Horace llnugetford of this city—threw a
line, which l caught and tho boat was pulled on
shore. What followed I cannot say. When 1
came to, I was on board the littla steamboat,

captain and alive.*
We faither learn from Mr. G. that of tha
boat’s crew four wero lost, vis: Messrs. Randall,
Vn-diurg, Drown, and the Norwegian. Tha
captain of tho Ton bridge, and stranger, saved
tlit-niM-lves by swimming. All those who per
ished had on their overcoats, and those saved

Mr. Drown was not found; ho had in his cost

MONEY MATTERS.
Boston.— 1 TIm Boston Atlas of Monday last
says, that another week of very severe pressure
in the money market has closed, and the mer*
cantile community have sustained themselves
under it with the most wonderful promptness.
All their engagements have been met at great
sacrifices, and but few failures have occurred.
Tho rates of prime busiuesa paper in Boston
have been two per cent, per month. 4 a G moi.
and a large amount lias been offered. Th*
timely aid rendered by the banks at the clossot
the week, relieved in some measure the pres*
sing wants of tho merchants; and though tha
day wne one of groat severity, yet the week
closed with a better feeling linn it began.
The sales by auction of Stocks at Boston, parti*
cuiarly Hank Slock, show a great falling off in
prices, though the Banks generally ware never
iu a better condition thar. at this moment, and
there appoars to be a general disposition mauii
fested by most of them, to do what is prudent in
tiie prevent crisis.
Providence -The Journof Monday any*-'Mo,
ney continues very close .but the banks ore doing
every thing they can to relieve the community,
connected with strict prudence and the proba
bility of a speedy resumption, in case the course
of the banks in ths great cities should render it
nec3«sary.*
Wo copy the following from the evening edi-
tiorl of tho New Yoik Express: '
Tho following Circular has been issued from

The Messenger says, on the refusal of hills of
theU. S. Bank by Mu*o>rs. IloilingtierThe
house ofMessrs.’ltoihschild, winch held a great
S an of the bills presented for acceptance to
lessrs. Hoitmgiier & Go., has inteivened in
support of the honor of (he American signa-
tor as.’
' I ho bills, which amount to ten millions, of
which only two millions aud n half have been
presented up to this timu to Messrs. Hottjuguvr,
have been accepted by Meiers. Roth-child. It
is stated that the refusal to accept by the house
of Hotiinguor arose from the circumstance of
the bills of lading of the cotton which was to
serve as guarantee for the bills drawn by the
Bank of the United States, not having been sent
well the letters of ad vice, which staled simply
that the cotton which was to bn consigned to
Messrs, lloltiiiguer was puichused. and would
be sent by the first vessels. By the arrange
ment which lias taken (dare, the cotton, winch
was expoci*-d in London and Havre, will ba
consigned to Messrs. Roili-child.'
Some of the French papers state that the ne-
gocialion pending between the United Slates
Bank mid the Messrs. Rothschild is on the eve
of a favorable conclusion. Others slate that
the house of R Jlhschild has positively declined
moving further iu the premises, and that the
matter rests iu pteruuly the same slate where
the sailing of the Liverpool left it.
The fill in the London stock market, it is ar
gund. was nut caused alonu by the refusal of tha
house of lloltiiiguer to redeem the notes of the
United Slates It.ink; (and for this opinion a
quaint reason i« given—'Because it was known
almost immediately nf let ward that the affair was
in progress of airangvment by the intervention
of ihe Rothschilds’!’) hut rathef by feats of the
failure of the hat vest, whi h is ut the present
tune the exciting question in England. That
tho crops have laiied iu <*omo counties partially
and in minus extensively there is now no doubt,
aud the fact would of itself cause considerable
depression in the muney market. The two
combined give us the tiue reason of tho late fall
of the slocks in London.
Havre letltre of the 21st, speak of the honor
of the bills rejected by lloltiiiguer & Co , as a
question yet uiidetenn ned. One of them reads
thus:

Orijrin of the Custom if Drinking Toasts.—
The Cnetoiii of drinking toasts at feasts and
celebrations, arose from Ills practice of untiring
out wine or drinking in honor of the heathen
gods—and is n practice that still partakes of ths
iintura oflumthenism. It was one of tho abom
inations oTheathenism to suppose that their
S oils would be pleased with ih^jr intoxicating
relight. Such a pouring out of a libation was
nsiinl'y accompanied with a prayer to the idol
th it be would tie propitious—and that he would
grant the desire ol the worshipper. From that
custom the habit of pressing a semimentor pro»
posing a toast ottered in drinking wino is derived.

Singular Recoveries.—Two very eingular re

all that period he hnd no return of his tnaladv,

The " True Faith."— What is the "Iroe faith

contains rather more than 130 millions of sub

Nine tenths of the number of Idnlators true

of Jews, and perhapsao hundred sects of Chris

his life iu England, duos the same by law. It
for Bishop Strachnit, to determine the ratios of
death-bed comforts. But in our empire, con
laiuing I30.000.000 of souls, the members of
the two Ciiurcnns, which nro acknowledged by
our laws to posse** tho true fuilh. certainly do
not amount to 8.000.000, It follows, therefore,
that out of eveiy 130 persons that die in the
British empire, eight expire comfortably, wrapt
in a true faith, and coiisaquenily go tb Heaven,

From the Evening Signal
THE FIRST LEAF OF AUTUMN,
BV MRS. IKS A SMITH.
lsee thee fall, thou quivering leaf.!
Offumtniid yellow line,
The first to foot the muninn winds,
That blighting, o’re tho<>1 blew—
Slow parted from the rocking branch,
l see then flouting by, %
. To brave, all desolate mid lone,
TI10 bleak autumnal sky.
Alas! the first the yellow loaf—
How sadly fulls it there,
To rustle on the crisped grass,
With every chilly ait!
It tells of those that soon must drop,
All wither'd, fiom the troo,
And it huili wuk'd a sadden'd chord
In deuthless memory.
Thou eddying leaf, away, nway,
There’s soriow in tliv hue;
Thou sound’s! the knell of sunny hours,
Of buds und liquid dew—
And thou dost tell how from the heart
The blooms of hope decay; •
How ouch ono lingers, loth to pnrt,
Till all are swept away.

K ercoive that our upinian then expressed, has
pen fully justified. We hove to report a foil
of 9c nt luunt on duo Cotton, and ut the snnio

for sale u further lot of2000 bales, from which
we predict a further fell in fine qunlities^The
disproportion in price between fine and poor

range from the lowest lOOf to the highest I90f
Our receipts have been 2425 bales, by three
vessels from New York, ono of which the Duck*
et brought us advices, which hud however boon
anticipated by the steamer Liverpool; these adi
vices however show no great change at Liver
pool. where the article is niuchlowor than with
us; the a< coimis wero considered more favora
ble, and had a good eifoct in that market. The
accounts havo caused out holders to sell.
We estimate our stock nt 83.000 bales, now
believing that the sales of tho weak hava bean
taken out the market.’
