withhold this pittance from the step-mother
of a distinguished oflicer, who had lost his
life in that war.
-Mr. Atkinson said, when called upon, he
should be willing vote jiiou and millions to
sustain the hoao* ■of the country, and he
hoped the Wings would be found ready to do
likewise.
Boydcn —Would he come trp and vote a di
rect tax for that pur x ose, or would he go for
treasury notes f
Atkinson —If necessary to defend the honor
-.0l the country he would vote to tax every
thing.
Mr. Boyden.—That was just in accordance
with the dcmocractic doctrine. They would
vote men and money to prosecute this war,
when Mexico was trembling at our leet, and
yet were unwilling to vote a dollar in a case
iike this, arising out of the consequences ot
that war.
The Chair said tkc debate was rather wan
,dering from the subject under consideration.
Mr. Boydcn wished to observe every rule of
the House. lie had been led astray by the
•remarks of the gentleman from Virginia,, lie
would vote to provide for every man, worn in
and child, connected with those who had lost
their lives in this war, who were in circum
stances requiring such assistance from the
g werument. Let justice be done, though the
Heavens do fall. The gentleman from Virginia
-w:ts willing to vote a tax to defend the honor
rnd liberty of the country —would he vote a
.direct tax upon constituents to svJyvgai McxU
<CO?
Atkinson.—Would rote a direct tax to car
ry on the war to compel a just and honorable
peace with Mexico.
Mr. Boydcn—Did not intend to vote a soli
tary man or dollar to carry on the war for the
conquest of Mexico. But ho was willing to
vote even twenty-five hundred dollars per
annum to every person connected with those
soldiers and officers whose lives had been
sacrificed in this war.
Mr. Me Lane, Md.—Did not the gentleman
think the army of General Taylor at Matamoros
v\ as a forlorn hope?
Boyden—No. lie had never believed an
army of Americans could be conquered by ten
hundred thousand Mexicans. J )id not the
.gentleman from Virginia know that our men
are just about ta dive into the mines of Mexi
co —that they will not want money—that they
are doing a little better business now —that
Gen. Scott hed sent out every man, womwi
and child to collect and throw their mite into
his bag? No doubt they would collect enough
■to pay tin* expenses of the army and of the
war, and leave a glorious surplus.
Atkinson—Then why ask if he would vote
n tax ?
Boyden—Took it for granted that no mem
ber but the gentleman from Virginia took
him to - bc in earnest.
Atkinson—Had uo idea he was jesting on
so grave a subject as Mary Brown.
Boyden—lt is the doctrine of the Execu
tive that we are about to get all the money
two require.
Atkinson—Did the geutlctnai’ j when he
-declared this war unjust and unconstitutional.
Boyden—Was not present when the vote
was taken on that resolution, but he would
now say that he believed the war unconstitu
tionally and unnecessarily commenced by the
President,
Mr. Hock well, of Connecticut, inquired
whether it was in order to di-ems the Mexi
can war, while this bill was under considera
tion.
Mr. Tallmadgc obtained the floor, and spoke
jit iome length, iy. favor of granting pensions,
not only to widows .married to xevr’.gti -nary
► -hliers prior to 1701, but subsequently.
■Some farther re.narks wore nude by Messrs.
.Cummins, Johnson of Tennessee, and Cobb,
a'f Georgia, when Mr. ts ill. ol New York, oh- ;
taiued the Hour, and offered a substitute for j
the hill, a* to! ows ;
Strike out all after file exacting clause and
insert: “That all the benefits and provisions
,of tho sev ,-rai acts of Congress graining pro
visions to the widows of olfh eu and soldiers
ot the war of the Revolution, who wore mar

diers who served as provided for and required

Bfoney Matters
The New York Tribune of Thursday says:
The effects of the news on the BUI market
has been favorable to remitters., borne well
.endorsed Souther*! Bank Sterling sold at
quid good individual bills were tff’ered at IV
per cent. The supply of Sterling is larger and
it he demand is moderate- Probably bills can
be bought at per court lower .than b Gore the
last steamer.
Ship owners bays generally advanced their
views to 2s. for Flour to Liverpool. Several
of the ships on tire berth have been filled up
at Is. 9d. a 2s. Some Cotton was engaged at
3 20, which is better, and some heavy freight
at 225. 6d. per tun,. There is considerable
Produce offering, which must be pressed tor
ward at once in order to come in under tiic
advantage of the free duty.
The foreign news wasycceived in A\ all street
as very favorable, more so than was antici
pated. The private commercial letters all
speak encouragingly of the future and favora
bly of the present. The ace units in the let
tc.s are even more favorable than in the news
papers. First class bibs were done in London
.at 34 per cent, and money was becoming plcn
tv, that but for the Railway calls the rate of
.discount would be 3 per cent. With money
so much cheaper in Loudon than in this coun
try, it is conceded by moneyed men in W ail
vt.cct that the drain of coin must be arrested.
The downward tendency and the increased
supply of Sterling Bills also favors this con
clusion.
Os course with all these favorable symp
toms the rc-establishmeut of trade in England
mu*t be very slow. .Confidence is however j
WegmningfUi be rrstored, and this if one great
step toward a return of trade and commerce
to their old channels. The tendency of things
now is decidedlv to a suspension of specie j
shipments from this country, the effect of :
which would be to relieve the fears of our
bankers and lead to a more liberal policy of |
discount. The incubus of the Government
wants would still remain, it is true, but the |
supposition that the specie clause will by ,
some means be evaded, robs that of half its
effect.
There were no American stocks on the mar
ket in London, which was an unusual circum
stance. There was quite a demand for them,
and the rates were appreciating. Iho re
sumption of Maryland and the Illinois and In
diana arrangements had had a very favorable
effect upon the feeling in relation to our secu
rities. A letter from a leading house in Lon
den states, however, that a Government loan i
would meet with no favor there until Missis- i
*ippi had shown a disposition to pay her j
honest debts.

j TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 25.
Gen. Taylor the Whig - National Con
vention
The Rjpul-Ue, in a leading e lj£>»ri*l of yes
terday morning, expresses surprise that the 1
Whig presses which advocate the claims of
| Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, should op
pose a National Convention. Jt makes the |
following remark on this subject:;
• J
i “This Is indeed a singular position f>r Gen.
| Taylor’s friends, if they believe what some of !
them profess to believe, that he is the people’s j
1 candidate, and the general choice of the Whig I
j party. If the nation is for him, why fear to
i risk his claims in a National Convention?”
i The editor should remember that Gen. Tay
lor has very distinctly declared that he will
not be the candidate of any party to promote
j party schemes. This National Convention of
j the Whigs, which the friends of Mr. Clay so
. "
\ ardently desire, is designed to be a party Con
vention, to promote party schemes. How could
Gen. Taylor or his friends consistently allow
j his name to go before it ? How could he con- j
sisteutiy accept a party nomination?
Ifja National Convention one in fact as well i
as in name—of Whigs and of Democrats—a i
Convention of .the people were to assemble to !
! nominate a candidate, it would not he amiss for
Gen. Taylor, consistently with his assumed
position of being a candidate of the whole
people, to permit his name to he submitted. ,
But iit<til the Whig party, and the Democrat- ■
ic party become disorganized, and dissolved
i into their original elements, no such Cojavcn
. tiou will ever assemble. The Whigs will hold
their Nation d Convention. The Democrats
will hold theirs —and the Taylorites will hold j
| their Convention also—that is, unless they j
conclude to have no Convention at all, and I
j trust to the election of Gm. Taylor by ‘’spon
taneous combustion.”
j To. process by which this last feat is
! ro be performed we do not exactly understand. ;
But some of the Whig papers sjugik. pf it as 1
very practicable and the proper mode. They ■
consider a Convention unnecessary.
Louisiana Legislature-
Quite an exciting scene was enacted on the |
18th inst. in New Orleans. It was the day
sot apart by the constitution of that State for
the meeting of the Legislature. On assem
bling the \Vhigs foynd some four or live of
their members absent, and without these, if
they went into an election for Speaker, the |
| Democrats would have the majority. So they |
! withdrew, one and all from the House, and i
I # |
left the Democrats in session, but without a I
j quorum. No persuasions and entreaties could i
I got a Whig in the House, and at o o’clock the |
Democratic members jetired.
On Tuesday morning the House again as
sembled. and the absent Whigs having made
j ° °
their t-ppearayce, they went iute an election
for Speaker, when Mr. Farrar (Whig) was |
; elected, kc receiving IS, and Mr. Phillips 1
(Hem.) 4 6 votes. Mr. Alexander Cuvellter
j was elected Chief Clerk, Mr. John 11. Layet, |
Minute Clerk, and Mr. A. Vcrret, Door Keep-
Theatre-
The bill offered for fills evening, should |
draw a goed house. The play of “The Hunch- j
back” is to be produced, and tho cast is a i
strong one —Master Walter, Mr. Bass; Sir ,
| °
Thomas Clifford, Mr. Shelly; Julia, Mrs,Crisp,
r.yd Helen, Mrc. Ward. In addition to which
Mile. Vallee executes one of her favorite dan
c;s, Mr. Robinson sings several of his comic ;
i songs, and Mr. Bass appears as Mu Lilywhite
in the laughable farce of “Forty and Fifty.” ;
The Washingtons
This steamer will sail about the 20th of i
February, a month later than was intended;
and the Hermann on the 20th March. The
French steamer Missouri, Capt. Morin, will
leave New York on Saturday the oth of Feb
i ruary, at 12 o’clock, noort.
Chattanooga Rail Road.
The Chattanooga Gazette of the 21st instant
says : —The amount of private subscriptions
to the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail Road
is now $1,800,000. The Board of Directors
arc endeavoring to got the Legislature to ap
propriate $500,000 more, to enable the State
to obtain the subscription of $1,000,000 from
the cities of Charleston and New York. Mr.
Stevenson and Gov. Jones have both address
ed the members of the Legislature in behalf
of the Road.
The Pea Patch case has been decided by the
arbitrator, Mr. Sergeant, in favor of the United
States. Thus ends this controversy of forty
years standing. The United States once of- j
sered a large sum byway of compromise to
the claimants. The question now being final
j ly decided, the United States will immediately
i proceed to re-build upon the island, the fort
: which was destroyed by fire in 1831, and
i w hich, under the grant from the State of Del
aware, they are required to maintain.

Extracts of letters received in this cut, dated 1
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 31.—Since our circular of;
17th inst., the Hank of England has reduced its j
minimum rate of interest to 5 per cent, and legiti
mate business paper of the first character at from
two .to four months i» readily discounted-at from a
to 6 per cent. Toe great curtailment of engage
ments going on for some time past, has much re
duced demand for discounts, without however ma
terially increasing the facilities ffrr holding pro
duce,from the distrust which still prevails and the
.continued suspension of speculative operations. —
Confidence so greatly impaired, can only revive ;
very gradually, and bankers and capitalists act cau- ;
tious. From, the diminished revenue of the conn. j
trv there is reason to apprehend tliat the Govern- j
ment may require advances from the Bank of Eng- j
land in \pril, and bankers manifest a determina- i
tion to guard them elves against some return of the
money pressure after the month of 31 art Is.
Subsequent to the departure of the last steamer, |
there was a depression of $ per cent in the. cotton
market, and fair 1 'plant! and Mobile were quoted
and fair ( h'leae.s lb.; but for near a week past
the sninners have bought more freely anil with in- j
creased c >ti'idenc“, s-» that the ab ve decline ha- (
been recovered in fair and good qualiti s, while |
the low and mi Idling qualities have advanced fuliv I
■ s* I
r,I per lb from the lowest point. Good cotton is
relatively rUc;.pcr than inferior and middling, and
scarcely aur thing selling above sd. ihe improv- |
cd feeling mav he attributed partly to reduction in j
the rate of interest, and sorgo increased demand for j
yarns at the re> ncei rates, and partly perhaps to I
an impression that, the American crop vs ill come ;
forward slowly; or possibly that *>*.7 recer.t esti
rn Ues have overrated its extent, the last accounts
showing a falling ofTin the receipts. The spinners
are gradually and slowly extending their consump
tion, ami considering the present scale of prices, it
i> to be hoped on a good foundation. The foreign
markets, generally speaking, are not encouraging i
for either goods oi yam. and the la -1 accounts from !
China ir particular are exceedingly unsatisfactory.
1 ‘ • j
Business for the week ended tilth inst., amounted ;
to tO, 530 bales, and for tour davs to 29th inst. whan |
the. eteek v;o taken, the sales were 17,459 bales?
vefterday and to-day the transactions have amount
ed to about 5000 bates each, all to consumers.
The cotton year just closing has been perhaps
marc disastrous than even that of 1039, lowbich it
has throughout borne a striking resemblance in the
deficiency of file American crop, the advanced
prices for a period, the greatly diminished con
sumption and ultimate ruinous fall in value, arising
from similar causes, and frustrating the calculations
founded mainly or exclusively on short crops, if the
danger of such reliance had needed further illustra
tion. The quantity taken from tlie ports for con
sump'ian this year proves to he 453,900 k- s than
in the previous year, but as it is estimated that Jthe
consumers do not hold as much by 50 to-€O,OOO
bales as livey did at the. end of J J IG. deducted, still
showing that the diminished consumption of the
year ba? been about 400,000 bales.

We left the market on -Saturday last with conii
deruble inquiry for cotton, bm owing to the very
full and advancing prices demanded by factors, the
traniactioas of the day \v rce limited to tJ.je sale ot
two or three small loti at prices about }c above
our outside quotations. On -Monday, the pressing
necessities of one or two parties euiiipelled them
to enter the market and submit to the rigid terms
demanded I>v h ti lers, and during the cay 439 bales
were disposed of at about 7c. fora full grade of
g-.-od uudiUiUgS. Tuesday, the «ame piutic* were
again Ly the market, bet their operatioKS were
limited to 213 bales, at prices <>f the preceding day. i

disposed of. VVednesday- evening s mail baring

rigidity of some factors has become considerably
moderated during the last twenty-four hours, but
their view* are vvt semen la a ove those of buy
