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 ried to such officers or soldiers prior to the •first day ol January, 171> 4, shall be, and they hereby are, extended to all widows of tho .officers and soldiers ot the war of the Revolu tion, who arc now above the age qi seventy -pears, and were married bi lore tiiejlSth day di- March, 1818, to revolutionary officers and sol diers who served as provided for and required .bv these acts : Provided. That such pensions .shall commence on the 14th day of March, 184 7, and shall be payable half yearly.” The committee r<>si, and on motion of Mr. btepheus the .House adjourned to Monday. 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.

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.

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.

Ereigkis —We notice a ship taken for France I Ic. for Cotton, and Ac. per lb. gross for Lard. — > 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.
