I told yon to make one o/my hoots larger than t’otbei ; ’stead o’ that. r„, bio wed if you hav’ut made one smaller than t’oth er! What a hass you must be, to be sure!’’ [The incensed Cockney. The ureal Homer did not think it unwor thy his tntxse m sin« of boots ; why, then, should not I w’rife of them? especially as 1 have a tale to tell, which if carefully pe rused, will (“ ilioiitrh I say it, who ought not to say it—still I det say it,) tent! to the edification of the readiT. I have called iny story “A Tale of Tifc’bt Boots,” hop ing that when he should s< e it concerned his understanding, lie would understand the necessity of regarding it attentively. The scene of my story is the city of Bos ton; the time, May, 1836,‘‘being besex | tile, or leap-year.” Business and pleasure | had led me to town—alas! I made it a had i business, and my pleasure ended in pain. I established myself at the the Tremont, and look for ad ventures. Rap— tap —tap! “Come in!” “ A note, Sir.” “ Mr. II requests the plenstireof Mr —'s company at dinner to day, at two o’clock precise- Mr. II was an old and much loved friend; of course I accepted. I learned that there was to be a large company, and wdiat was of more consequence to me, that MissL , whom I had addressed for the last six months, was to he there. No one will think it strange, then, that I devoted more than usual attention to my toilet. Finding that the style of my boots was a little pasiee, I resolved to treat myself to i new ones. The shop of the artizan who ; kept the “crack article,” was not far off, | and thither I betook myself. Having se lected a pair which carite near the beau ideal of a boot, in my mind’s eye, I pro ceeded to try them on. “ little too tight on the instep,” said I, after I had fairly succeeded in drawing them on. “ ’Bout right; sir,” said the matt of boots, ’ rubbioir his hand over the place indicated;, “ they’ll give a little—fashionable cut, sir ; ■ make ’em all so now ; fine foot, sir, yours, t<» fit a hoot to; high in the i.istep—hol loiv there. They look well, sir.” The hist part of the man’s argument; or rather gab, had the desired effect. lie had assailed me in a tender point—almost the only one, I believe, in w hich it was possible for him or any other person to flatter me; My bettrr jndirmenl and understanding ivere Overcome —I kept the boots. Having 1 mnt’i- uj.v toilet, and put on mv future torriientors, I set out for the residence of my friend. The arrival, salutations, annoiiiicement of dinner; etc.; are matt-rs bf course—-so I let them pass. In due time, [ found myself walking into thesaZon de manger, w ith Miss L —on my arm. A moment more, and 1 was seated at the table beside her. 1 did the duties that fell to tnc —said to my companion every pretty thing I cotihl think of—sent her plate for some turkey ; carved a chicken that stood before me; and offered the wing to the lady opposite; drank wine with my hostess, and procured some tonge for a lady on my left, who had no gentleman to trike care of her. By-tlte wax, I wish she had eaten her own, Consi dering the use she afterwards made of it. Lt fine, my mind was so completely occu pied by the pleasures of my situation, the few good things 1 said to ttly companion, and tiie many she said to me; that 1 was un conscious of the curse that from the first had been ileveldping itself. Soon, however, I becariie aware that something prevented my being peif-ctlv happy. 1 felt ris hire who, iti tiie iniilst of a delightful dream, is assailed by a bed-biig. made conscious triert ly that there Is a draw back to Iris pleasure —-sometllitlg that pre vents his giving hiniSelf entirely up to that perf ct bliss which seems to beckon him to its embrace. A few iiio'riicnts mdre, rind I was fully aroused; 1 found the instep ol my right foot in a slate of rebellion against the strictures that had behti laid upon it,and particularly against the act of close cot fineirient. In truth, there was good rea son; for the inStep was the seat of intense pain. I drew it under my chair; but no rest for it was tbefe. I thrust it back to its first place—still its rfngtiish was unabated. In spite of myself, I become silent; and a shade passed oter my face. The ({nick eye of iny companiori detected rt, arid I'c ir ing she had said Sofriethirig that ri’ounded me, began, with a kindness peculiar to her self, to apf»fy a healing balsam. She ha-' been speaking of an article in a late num . her o's the New-Y r ork Knickerbocker; and. in fact, commenting upon it with much se verin’. The thought seemed to flash into her mind that f rias in soint t?ay interested —the author, perhaps, or a friend nf tin author. She passed to corfifncndation— “There were, notwithstanding, fine trait in the piece; redeem! g qualities id spite of its imperfection's. There Vias evidence of much' talent—-talent not aM put forth,” etc. Dear girl! she mistook my disease. It was not my vanity (bat was wounded— my vanity was wou-nding me. To gratifv it, 1 had pjtt on tire tight boots; and now, like an undisciplined urchin, it had becoim the tormentor of its too indulgent parent. At this moment, my Newfoundland dog. wIiLIt it seems had foil- Wed my steps and waite-l patiently at (he door, amusing him self bv calculating from the doctrine ol chances the probability of his being admit ted, took advantage of an opening made bv the egress of one of the servants, and w-alkcd into the room. Remembering that he had not been regularly invited, and a little doubtful as to his reception, Ire eatn< slowly forward, with bis tail rather un*l»- the hvrijonta!. fjtj "mrust forward to I catch the first intimation of my presence and eyes upturned, glancing from one t< another of the company, to see how he wa to he received; lie made a slight smelling hah at each gtfest, until he came to tn; chair. Finding that he had reached the object of liis search, he without fmtlier ce remony seated hiiliself on his haunches be side me, wagged his tai! backward and for ward on the carpet, and looked up in my face with an expression of mm h dignity, mingled with a slight twinkle of self-con eratidition, which seemed to say, “So, then, I have got along in the right time?” I was »o much occupied with my otfn ; sufferings, that 1 could scarcely be civil to the fair creature at my side ; it is not sur- I prising, therefore, that I gave little heed to j the dumb beast at my feet, however ex pressively he might invite me with hiseyes. Poor Rover! had he known my situation, he would never have “done the deed” he did. I know' the kindness of bis disposi tion ; but the truth must be tol<l. After waiting several minutes, and eliciting no , glance from his master, he raised his heavy foot and placed it impressively on mine. It rested on the very spot ! It was not in hu man nature to bear this unmoved. 1 with drew the distressed member, with a convul sive twitch, which brought forward my' knee in contact w ith the table w ith so much violence that the attention of the w hole company was draw n on me, just in time to s»e the contents of my wine ylass emptied into my plate, and that of my <• ■ mpanmn into iur lap. Kind girl ! she exhibited no emotion, hot slightly and unseen hv the company, shook off the wine, and continu ed her conversation, as if nothing unplea sant had happened. Overwhelmed with mortification, I found it impossible, with all the efforts I could make, to recover iny self-possession. I could only reply in monosylables to her remarks; and, save when she addressed me, I was si- i lent in spite of myself. She touched on various subjects which had usually intere-t- i ed me, in the hope of withdrawing me from i the remembrance of the accident ; but find ing Iter efforts vain, she adopted another course, and asked me, in a counterfeit tone of censure, when she was to have the lap- i dog I had promised to procure for her the day before. The word “ dog” was all that ■ traversed the passage to my mind, so thick ly was that passage crowded with the keen i remembrance. Thinking of my own New'- foundland, I replied, fiercely, “ He dies to- ’ morrow!” Startled ,:t the unusual tone, my fair companion cast on me a glance of surprise—almost of fear. A tear shone in her eye, ami she was silent. i At last the time of lent ing the table came —oh, moment tome most welcome! It Seemed to me that we had sat an age at the board ; but at the la-t, my corporeal had been forgotten in my mental pain. If the reader has any bowels of compas sion, he is now’ hoping that mv troubles are over—that I shall go quietly home, take oil' the offending boot, enclose mv foot in an easy slipper, and then, in the evening, with an old boot well polished, pay my respects to my mistress—explain all—receive her forgiveness, and be again happy; Would it wei'e so ! But let me not anticipate. Before w e sat down to dinner, it had been arranged, that we—that i.-* my friend, wife, and sister, myself and Miss L , should go to the theatre in the evening, to hear, or rather tc) see, a celebrated little Frem h actress, whose star was then in the ascen dant. 1 had no time to make new arrange ments ; for whett we rose from the table, it was even then time to set forth. The fresh air arid the lively Conversation of my friends nearly restored hie to tn v self ; so that w hen « e took possessio i ■>!' our box, I was (oriifortahle both in body and mind. But fit'r mv shot there was no permanent peace; There was but a temporary truce with paiii; I had n< t be< n sc t •(! ten mi nutes. before the enemj r< turned, reinforc ed. I soott felt that to endure until the play was over, would be utterly beyond mt power. There wris but one course to pur sue. I silently slipped my foot from the boot,- and sitting close to my companion, succeeded—-thanks to the ample folds of her cloak—-in securing .mv white stockings from observation. The acting was superb —my foot was at ease—my companion agreeable—arid I quite forgot that 1 was bootless. The frist act was closed, and the -Curtain fell. My friends immediately left the box. Mr. 11. offered an rirtit each to his wife and sister, and—(you would not expect a lady to wait for her bean ?) —Miss I*, w alked with theft)! but not w itiiotit a “ lingering look behind.” The they ont >f the box, s seized tnv boot, aud attempt ■d (o' thrust my foot into' it; but it hid » w idleri, aird the first eflbrt. cost me exeru .•iating pain. Yet this I did not regard. But all my efiorts were Vain. I could ns easily have thrust an alderman through a key hole. I seized my pen-knife, and split •he (iff'iid’mg boot nearly from top to toe. Then planting my foot on the sole, I tied the string of tny drawers tightly around the leg, and rushed through the Croft'd. In inv haste, I well nigh overturned a fat old lady, who was leaning on her son’s arm. The old woman ci ied, “Oh, Lord!” and the youth in ire, muttered an oath, and raised bis cane ; but I was too quick for him. I reached the door, amid the screams of the ladies, the deep, though *br the most part unspoken curses of the men, and th’’ cry of “ seize him !” from the police offi cers. But my friends and betrothed,where were they ? Lost in the crowd, or shut up in some of the carriages that were pressing iround the door? I saw’ at once that all search wag useless. I w'aited until nearly dl had left the house, and then slowly ami sadly to°k n ’.V way to my hotel. I went to bed; but the visions of the daywer present to my waking thoughts, sr bauni .

Mr. RIVES gave notice of his intention to bring in a bill to designate the funds in which the public revenue should be receiv ed. Mr. WRIGHT presented a petition from sundry merchants of New York, pray ing an extension of the time in pay meat of the custom-house bonds; w hich was laid on the table. Mr. WRIGHT also presented a memo rial from certain merchants of New York, praying remission of duties on such goods as had been burned at the late fire in that city. This memorial was referred to the' Committee on Finance, and ordered to be printed. Mr. McKean presented a tnemor’al re- ; monstrating against the annexation of Tex as ; which was laid on the table. Mr. TALLMADGE presented a me-; incjrial praying the establishment of a ' national bank ; w hich was laid on the ta- I hie; Mr. RUGGLES presented a mernorirtl j remonstrating against the admission of: Texas ; which was laid on the table. Mr. WALKER introduced the following.l resolution : Residved, That the Committee ori.Com nicrce be instructed to inquire into the ex pediency of establishing ports of entry at j Vicksburg and Grand Gulf', in the State of Mississippi. The joint resolution from thft Hanse of Representatives, excluding the sale of spir ituous liquors within the Capitol ami the pale of the public grounds. Was then taken up; and unanimously adopted. ISSUE OF TREASURY NOTES. The bill 10 authoriz.e the Secretary -of the Treasury t<> issue Treasury notes be ing taken tip for a third reading— Mr. Czt LHOUN rose and addressed the Senate at considerable iengib. He com menced by observing that the question which they had to decide was what rela tion the Goveffrment and the banks shall bear to feacll other hereafter? Shrill the Government again use the banks as fiscal agefrts ? Shall they make them the depos itories of the public Ittuds? ami, above all. shall they receive their notes as specie, and treat them as such in their disbursements ? This was the great, the leading question ; one of the first nr gnitude—one full of cou- ! sequences.' lie had given it his most delib- i crate and anxious investigation. He had . come to this conclusion—that the interests, 1 both of the banks ami the Government, forbid are-turion. lie would now offi‘hi> view sin support of the measure. He would present them in that manner which became the occasion—which became the country, and which was due to himself. All that he asked was, that credit for sincerity might be given him for the opinions he wotdd give, and that he might be judged with that candor which he would give others credit for. Those who wer° in favor of a re-union would find a preliiriininary difficulty. The banks and the Government were already separated by the operation of laws ; and so i long as those laws remained in force, they | could not be re-united. There were none I in this body in favor of their union ; noiw who wpuld be willing to use the banks as the fiscal agents of the Government, n> long as the present state ol things remni' which had produced the separation ; nont would be willing to make them the depo.-i K J I' i5.Li:-iJS lIdBYP. 1,.

He did not be lieve that either the friends of the adm'mis-- >"• l,r th is; <‘,f the opposition party 'Otrid be found the ao voca'es ofa re-tmiotv il tlimight tliat reason and experience were no.-t decidedly in favor of di connecting' he banks !r jin ,the Government. If the' -aovernment was to be connected with the laukiiig system, a United States Rank was indispensable. He would go further, and say that if we had a right to receive and rcat bank notes cash in the receipts and •xpct’.di.ures < f the Government, we not only bad right to create a national bank,- but w ere bound to create one. Whatever be Government treated as money, they’ had i right to receive as money ; and under the provision of the Constitution which re quires ad taxes to be uniform throughout the United Stares, we were bound to maker the money ns wiiform as possible. These were no rect “'pinions of his, for he had <o ex: res e . h niself on the deposfte qnese tion in 183 :. lie then said : “Gentlemen* '.ou have not gone farenough. If you in tend to war against the bank, you must go a step further— y< ti must separate in tottr from all banks, or have a Bank of the U* States. However, not having separated from the banks, we now f It ourselves in volved in the present distress* Now tha> alternative had arisen between a disconnec tion with the hanks, or a Bank of the U* States. 'J hi'-was the issue. One of two courses must be pursued.. Then, again, the question recurred : how were we to get a bank ? for we had reason to believe that the public voice was opposed to such an in stitution :at least one great, old, conti*-' tent, uniform party, so numerous and so i expectable that their opinion on this lion might to be respected, until there! should be an amendment of the Constitu tion. Again ! one branch of the Govern ment stood openly pledged before the world, upon constiintiorffil grounds, not to give its sanction to the reestablishment of a bank, fie contended that there must be a politi cal revolution first, and we should have to wait four years before the struggle took, place. And what, he would ask, waste be the condition of the Treasury in the cueau time ? Were we to remain disconnected, of are we to unite ourselves with the Slats banks ? He would say; t'tat if the disconnection remained so long, the fate of a Bank of the United States would be sealed forever. He would tell gentlemen on the other side, that if they succeeded in remitting the Go-- vernment with the S’ate Banks, there would loot be a chance of getting a Batik of tlm United Slates on God’s earth, until another catastrophe like the present should have again occurred. He knew little of tire hu man heart who believed there was any 7 pos- _ sibility of getting a bank while eight hun dred banks were in successful operation, sos they would never permit the introduction of a great and overshadowing institution, which would have the effect of destroying iherr* Yes, they would have to wait until another catastrophe comes. He rnteitaiued the opinion, that if a Bank of the United States shout 1 be esta-* blished, the pressure which would follow that event, would be even greater than the present. A. bank competent to its purpo ses, calculated to meet the great increase in the trade and commerce of the country, should have a capital of one hundred mil-’ lions, with a specie basis of fifteen or twen ty millions. But where, he asked, was it to come from ? The consequence of the' creation of a new bank, and the accompa nying resumption of specie payments, would be destructive to the State banks. But where wris the money to be had ? from abroad —from England ? We had heavy debts to pay that country, aud if we attempted in the midst cf the present state of things to draw back the specie, the revulsion would be at least equal to the one we have just witnessed. Gentlemen were inclined to think that the present crisis is like that of 1816. Now he was certain that there was no analogy between the twft* cases. On the contrary, it was directly opposite* The crisis of 1816 was ri small aftair compared with this. Mr. C. explain ed the difference bet vecn the circumstances of that day and those of the present. A mong the measures proposed then, as now,- was a bankrupt law. He was opposed to a bankrupt law, because he considered it tors harsh a measure. Besides, it was utterly unconstitutional. He maintained that sliotihl we try a Bank of the United States, under the existing circumstances, the recoil weald be overwhelming. He, for one, would not be willing to make the attempt.- He knew it would compel specie payments, not as a reformer, betas ridestroyer.- The" irreater portion of the State banks would he swept from the hoard. And, if there were no other objections to th# measure, this was a sufficient one far him sell. Air. C. went into a brief history 6f facts connected w ith the passage of the bill of I SIG, rccha’rtcring die Bank of the United States, and the part which he took on that occasion. There was but one mode ill which the Go-" vernment could re-ttnite itself with thebante a itliout producing distress; but that mode" was infinitely objectionable to the Soiithsi He meant, by the Government adopting.’ the United States Bank of Pennsylvania as?* a fiscal agent. The adoption of that couif*’ would compel a resumption of specie ' •’ a merits, with much less force than P a y* Bank of the United States w' a ne ' v he never con'd bring his ft.ir ill| u. a preference to one Slr>' , '' to give such: Nor could he consent.» , . , ■ y ' er a »<>iber. the fiscal agent of the >,i ' > KC an owes its exist (O'- „ ° OVCI *-'>ment which I 'te« attack m vit . , a I ; nv , " State.
