From the Boston Statesman. NOWISE AND FILLEBROWN. Pome time since it was stated in the papers that Mr. Noursc late Register of the Treasu ry of the United States hail a balance of some \o 000 dollars rendered as his due from the (.hated States by the verdict of a Washington Turv. Arid-more recently, we have seen it stated, that Mr. Fillebrown has obtained a similar verdict for about. $450, Mr. Nourse was said to have boon in debt to the U. States w hen he was dismissed his office, about $12,- 000, and Mr. Fillebrown to the amount of about S2OOO. Both these* verdicts have, as vve understand been confirmed by the Court. These transactions present to the Ameri can people abundant matter fiJf the most se rious reflection. It was stated at the time Mr. Nourse was dismissed, in the public prints, and has not to our knowledge, ever been contradicted, that he acknowledged himself deficient to the amount of nearly sl2,ooo,and that if the Pres ident would retain him in office he would ap ply the emoluments of his office to discharge the claim. After lie left the office and was called upon to pay what was due to the gov ernment, he raised a claim in the form of , commissions upon monies disbursed, and in vested, in the discharge of Jus official duties, which not onlv swept off the balance he owed the United States, but brought them in debt to him $12,000. This claim has been allow ed, as we understand it, by the Jury and Court, making a difference to the U. States of about $24,000. _ . Mr. Fillebrown was a clerk in an office in Washington, also Secretary to the Commissi-, onefsof the Navy pension fund, for both of which services he received a stated compensa tion. As Secretary he invested certain funds collected from the sea beaten veterans of the Navv,and for vvhidi he charged a commiss ion of per cent, making about 2,500 dol lars. This sum like,that of Mr. Nourse has been allowed to Mr ; Fjjlebrmvn by the Jury and Court. These we believe to be the outlines of the facts in the cases. We do not pretend to be minutely accurate as to the sums of money in controversy though we are not far out of the way. Those instances of Judicial legislation are among the most extraordinary and alarming of any we have ever before known—and call fof the timely interposition of a competent autho rity to arrest the evil. Congress has estab lished the rate ofcompensation for its officers. That body alone has the right to raise mo ney from the peo'ple, yet iu defiance of the plain and unequivocal provision of the statute, has a parfizan jury, allowed anew, and a large Additional compensation to those officers, and apartizan judge has sanctioned the award. The compensation thus allowed we are-told amounts in some eases to several Itmdred dol lars for each hours work. I,et the fanners— the workingmen of the pation examine into this matter, andtlien determine whether the Executive or the Court'is right. Mr. Nourse who claims about twenty-four thousand dollars commission's received a regular salary of 8000 dollars annually as a register: and Mr. Fil lebrown, as Clerk,and Secretary something hnore, we believe, than S2OOO yearly. Upon Ithc principle established in these cases, we pee no reason why very disbursing officer Bnay not charge commission upon tHb monies ■laid through his hands, i It is as we before remarked, an alarming ■ 13l ‘ Judicial legislation, aye, of usurpation, ■ad shews the necessity of placing that •ranch ol the government on a different foot ■itg.

The °f Election* —The London cor respondent of a New York paper, makes a statement which must surprise, and may star le the American reader.. Two millions have been already subscribed by the Ton party • and the Duke of Northumberland, 'togetlaw with Sir Robert Peel, have given the first $250,000; the second £50,000. The Mar quis of Londonderry will devote, we are told, Ins whole fortune, to the cause. The other party says the correspondent, ‘lack money, nevertheless they will die in the last ditch perhaps literally.’ The first statement is shocking, the last sentence terrible ? Is this really the present state, and likely to be the luture lateofGrcat Britain: brought about, perhaps, by a single question—Reform, Lord Brougham is denounced by the same person as a ‘ second Cromwell' ‘Mark my word,’ says this person, ‘ he will yet be the downfall of Great Britain. If there be a man in Eng land whom 1 heartily despise, that man is Hen ry brougham.' This is strong language—but we profess ignorance of the real grounds which the writer may, we should say, must have for using it. Should Brougham prove false to the high trust which has been confi ded to him, we may well despair of what is called public virtue.—Charleston Courier. ~~~ “Collected news Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times.” Tayetteville, June 7. The melancholy aspect of tilings has been considerably enlivened within a day or two by the sudden appearance of four small hou ses, moving along among the ruins, to occupy places in the former business part of the town. Jhey were moved entire, exrtept floors and windows, upon timbci waggons, drawn by horses. There is every indication that bus iness will centre in the same part of the town as before, and that no time will be lost in erect ing and repairing stores. We yesterday saw the ruins of a three story brick store entirely removed, the flooring on the ground, and in a day or two, it will be laid and every prepara tion made for rendering it habitable as soon as possible. As was stated in our last, the spirit of enterprise is very far from being crushed. s **“*£^£*— From the Richmond Compiler. THE MURDERER, MARKLEY ! The Charleston Free Press states, that Marklby formerly lived in that county [Jef ferson] where lie committed a felony, for which he was sent a year to the Penitentiary of this State ; 3 He was arrested in 1825, near Harper’s Ferry, as the suspected muwlt rcr of Miss Cun ningham of Maryland. Dining his examina tion on this point, the justice recollected hpv mg seen an advertisement in a Frederick pa per, offering a reward for the apprehension of Murkley,as the robber of Air. Newey’s house. He was committed to jail, and witnesses were sent for to Cecil county, hut their testimony not being sufficient to identify him as the murderer, he, was delivered over to th<* au thorities of Maryland, to be tried for the rob bery of Mr. Newey’s house. Upon this lat ter charge, he was convicted, and sentenced to five years imprisonment in the Peniten tiary of Maryland. During all this long con finement, he cherished in his bosom tbedame of revenge against Mr. Ncwev, and finally perpetrated ail outrage vvithoutparallel in the annals of modern atrocity’. The murderer of the unfortunate Mite Cunningham has not yet been detected. She was ravished and murdered on the road, a few years ago, in the State of Maryland—The deepest sympathy was felt for her fate— High rewards were offered—Several persons were apprehended—but they all escaped for want of proof. And until recently the memory of that horrible transaction seems to have faded almost away.—lf there he reasons to su-poct Markley of this detestable outrage—inferior! even in point of atrocity to the destruction of Ncwey and his family—it would be de; liable to have him interrogated, and towring from him a final confession of his guilt—should Miss Cunningham also have faiicnliis victim. If is very rarely that two such monsters as Gibbs and Markley have been brought to jus tiep, in so short a space of time, for acts of so different a character and of so deep a dye.— Either of them singly is sufficient to “make tint world grow pale.” We are gratified to hare it in our power tb state, that tlic lady of professor llr.x'TZ, late of our University, have received the jjremium of S6OO, offered in Philadelphia, for the best written tragedy.

If the Address does not come from the pen of the Bank itself, it bears, at least unequivocal marks of having sprung from its dictation. It has been laying upon our table for Several days, and* v. e had not time until yesterday to look over it. The subject is viewed under three different heads, or questions. The first asks, “ H 'hat strength trill he gained by the states in prostrating the Bankl v In answering their own question, the Bank cites four of our State s, the Banks of which we are informed, issue about $25,000,000. Having reached this estimate, wc are told, that in the event of the prostration of the United States Bank, the utmost gain by these states, would be their ability to issue abouts:j,soo,ooo more—“ that is to say, to substitute three millions and a half of State Bahk paper, for that much United States’ Bank paper.” This, “ to the Bankshhemselves,”says the Address, “is obviously a trifle.” (Let it be recollect ed, that Ncw-York, Pennsylvania, Massachu setts, and V irginia, Cout of our most wealthy and commercial states, are selected for the il lustration of this arithmetical calculation, to , prove the necessity of continuing branches of the Bank of the United States among them.) These three and a half millions arc not only “ trifling” to the local Banks, in tho cstima- tion of the Address, and inconsiderable “to the State Governments, as a source of increas ed revenue from the dividends of the Banks” but is areal loss to the community, inasmuch as “ they would prefer the notes of the United Mates Bank to those of the State Banks!” Now let us, in our turn ask, in the first place, if fhecreditof the United States Bank can only push intc circulation $5,500,000 among four | of our richest and most commercial states,bow “trifling” must be her operations in other States; where the demand for capital is much more limited’ And in the 2d, if it would not benefit the local Banks, or the revenues of the State Governments, how could it bene fit those gigantic institutions, the Bank oi the l nited States or the general govern ment, the latter of which is but a mere stock holder in the concern ? And, in the 3d, if such a decided preference is given to the cur rency of the United States Bank, how comes it, that her issues in the States enumerated, faHs2l,ooo,ooo short of those made by them? The argument recoils upon itself. The Ist position of the Address is light and sophistic al.* The 2d question of the Address is “JVhat dangers must be incurred in order to obtain that advantage if it be one ?” The advantage here alluded to, as the reader will recollect, by reference to the first question, is that of prostrating the Bank of the U. S. The most formidable objections raised in this question are, the unconstitutionally of State Banks, the destructive influence experi enced in the Colonial Paper of the Revolu tion, and the privilege to the State Banks of issuing notes to twice the amount of their capi tals. To the first point vve will speak at the conclusion of this article—the second anddast we will now notice. The paper medium is sued during the revolutionary war, was one of the last necessity—and under the peculiar exigencies of the case, there could not have been devised a scheme of finance better sui ted to tlie accomplishment of the great ob ject for which we were struggling. It up held the credit of tho Continental Congress, and achieved the Independence of the United States of America!—and let us ask, was the ultimate depreciation of the paper, to be put into competition with the liberty which it purchased . Had it m>tyielded the thousandth part of a cent it would still have been no loss. But leaving this view of the subject, the Ad dress deals unfairly in selecting that unpropi tious period for fiscal operations, as an argu ment against the States issuing money. At that time we had no commerce. We were iu a belligerent attitude with the most formida ble jiower in flic world. NVe did not want money to,buy cotton, or any other merchan table commodity, for the purposes of com mercial speculation. Because vve had no trade, no treasure, no resources, which we could Bring into immediate action. There were but lew capitalists in the money mark et, and no stock but that of Patriotism in which funds could be successfully invested. We had then but thirteen States—vve have now twenty four, and four Territories. We had theirbut three millions of inhabitants we have now upward of twelve. Wc then earned on an insignificantly limited, precari ous, and tributary commerce—now, there is not a sea but it is whitened with our canvas, ■nd scarcely a power that docs not court our intercourse. llow then, in the name of com mon sense can thorn be any analogy between our present and former financial condition, so as to make it bear upon the question at i.'Sue. Ihe supposition appears ridiculous. The Address is patriotically alarmed at the privilege which is granted the State Banks of issuing notes to twice the amount of their capitals. . This alarm is more affected than real. Let us hear what Sav, one of our sound , cp * political Lconomists, says on tin's point : “ Taking it for granted, then, that the spe cie, remaining in circulation within the com munity, is limited by the national demand for circulating medi im; if any expedient can be devised, for substituting bank-notes in place of I halt the specie, or the commodity, money, . tliere will evidently be a superabundance of [ metal-money, and that superabun dance must |oe followed by a diminution *f its relative j va ’ ue * l* uf > as such diminution in one place by no means implies a cotcniporancc usdirni nution in other places, where the expedient of bank notes is not resorted to, and where, consequently, no such superabundance of the commodity, money, exists, monfcy naturally resorts thither, and is attracted to the soot whose it hears the highest relative value.* or is exchangeable for the largest quantity of o ther goods: in other words, it flows to the mar kets whole commodities are the cheapest, and is replaced by [roods, of value equal to the value exported.” It the United States Bank had not to com- I pete with State institutions, she would her self acknowledge the fallacy ofher argument. Tl\e 3d, and last question, which the Ad dress proposes, and examines, is “T* hat will he the effect of the contempla ted. substitute ?” The contemplated substitute, is the one ; 'Uggcsted by the President, which proposes, that the new Bank boa “Branch of the Treas. ury.” The principal objections of the Ad dress to this is, that.it will not have a Direction i sufficiently responsible, that it will bo liable to speculation, and subservient to the worst of political purposes. This is the weakest ar- I gument that we have yet had to encounter. Under the immediate cognizance of the Pres ident and the Congress ot the United States, the Bank would be subject to a more rigid scrutiny—the treasure of the people would be more carefully watched—and the responsi bility attached'to tbe controuhng authorities would assume a higher degree of importance, inconsequence of being more closely attach ed to the immediate representatives of the people, (To be continued.) UNITED STATES’ BANK. Lrtft r of 1 homas Jefferson to Mr. Gallatin. I lie Attorney General having considered and decided that the prescription in the law for establishing a bank, that the officers in the subordinate offices of discount and deposits, shall be appointed ‘ on the same terms and in the same manner practised in the Prin cipal Bank,’ does not extend to them the principle of rotation, established by the legislature in the body of directors in the principal bank, it follows that the exten sion of that principle has been merely a vol untary and prudential act of the principal bank, from which they are free to depart. I think the extension was wise and proper on their part, because the legislature having deemed rotation useful in the principal bank constituted by them, there would be the same reason for it in the subordinate bunks to be established by the principal. It breaks in up on tlie esprit du corps so apUto prevail in per manent bodies ; it gives a cliunce lor the pub lic eye penetrating into the sanctuary of those proceedings and practices, which tlie av arice ol the directors may introduce lor their per sonal emolument, and which the resentments of excluded directors, or the honesty of those duly admitted, might betray to tlie public i— and it gives an opportunity at .the end of the year, or at other periods, ofcorrectingachoice which, on trial proves to ha,ve been unfortu nate; an evil of which themselves complain in their distant institutions. NJ’lielhcs, how ever, they have a power to alter this, or not, the executive has no right to decide ; and their consultation with you has been merely an act of complaisance, or lromadesire to shield so important an innovation under the cover of executive sanction. But ought vvp to volun teer our sanction in such a case ? Ought we to disarm ourselves of any fair right of ani madversion, whenever that institution shall be a legitimate subject of consideration? I own, I think tlie most proper answer would be, that we do not think ourselves authorised to give an opinion on the question. From a passage in the letter of the Presi dent 1 observe an idea of establishing a branch bank of the United States in New Orleans This institution is one of the most deadly hostility existing, against the principles and form of our constitution. The nation is, at this time, so strong and united iu its senti ments, that it cannot be shaken at this mo ment. But suppose a series of untoward c* vents should occur, sufficient to bring into doubt the competency of a republican govern ment to meet a crisis of great danger, or to unhinge the confidence of the people in the public functionaries; an institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the Union, acting by command and in phalanx, may, in a critical momei:*, upset the govern ment. I (lean/to government safe which is under the vassalage of any self constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation, or its regub rfunctionaries. What an obstruction could uotthis batik of tbe ll nited States, with all its branch banks, be in time ot war ! It might dictate to us the peace wc should accept, or withdraw its* aids.— Ought vve then to give further growtli to an institution so'powerful, so hostile? That it is so hostile we know, l.from a knowledge of the principles of tile persons composing the body of directors in every bank, principal or branch; and those of most of the stockholders: 2. from t heir opposition to the measures and principles of tlie government, and to the elec tion of those friendly to* them: and 3. from the sentiments of the newspapers they sup port. Now, while we are strong, it is the greatest duty we owe to the safety of our constitution, to bring this powerful enemy to a perfect sifbordinatipn under its authorities. The first measure would be to reduce them to an equal footing only with other banks, as to the favors of the goverument. But, in order to be able to meet a general combination of the banks against us, in a critical emergen cy, could vve not make a beginning towards an independent use of our own money, to wards bolding ouf own bank in all thedepos ites where it is received, and letting the Treasurer give his draft or note, for payment at any particular place, which in a well con ducted government, ought to have as much credit as any private draft, or bank note, or bill, and would give us the same facilities which vve derive from the banks? I pray you to turn this subject ih your mind, and to give it the benefit of your knowledge of details; whereas, I have only very general views of the subject. Affectionate salutations. TIL JEFFERSON.

This persecution, which is a little short of despotism,augurs ill, weshould think,forthe Government of Louis Phillippe. Proprietors of Newspapers, like other individuals,are un doubtedly amenable to the laws, and mav be prosecuted for libel and other offences; bn* the power to seize upon or silence the Pr< ss, is cne w hich augurs the existence or unqual ified and undisputed despotism. That such a power should be suffered to exist and assert itself in Paris, so immediately after the boast ed Revolutton of July last, is sufficient to weaken our faith as to the likelihood of any permanent-good accruing from that event.
