Most ol the Philadelphia papers have been very warm against the amendments, and very strong in favor of the old Constitution; in which particular rve must lake the liberty to Hiller from them entirely. The old Constitution gave to the Governor alone, the whole power of appointment to a vast number ol important IStatc offices. By the new Constitu tion Id" appointments must be submitted to the Senate ami reeeivc their ratification. The old Constitution contained in itself no pro vision for its amendment. liy the new Constitu tion. amendments, once in five years, may be pro posed by the Legislature, and if ratified by the peo ple, they become part of the Constitution. By the old Constitution, the Stole, Senators were rhoseu for four years ; by the amended Constitu tion, they are chosen for three years, one third, each year. By the old Constitution all judges were appoint ed for life. By the amended Constitution, judges of the Supreme Court are to be appointed for a term oi ffnen years; the president judges of the Common Pleas, for terms of ten .ears, and the as sociate judges of the Common Pleas, for terms of Jive years. By the amended Constitution, State Senators nnd Representatives are disqualified from accept ing, during the term for which they w ere chosen, tiny executive appointment, and duellists are dis qualified to hold any office of honor or profit. Ihe amended Constitution enjoins upon llio Legislature to establish schools throughout the State, in such a manner that the poor may he taught gratis.

We believe we may appeal to ♦he officers on (fie station for a full confirmation of this astoun ling fact. The Government know they have offended these brave men. In doing so, they paid their court to the prejudices of the office holders and their dependants, to screen them and to protect them against the necessary result of the in sulting denunciations.

CHARITY. Upper Canada. Adjutant Genetial’s Office, > Toronto, 23d October, 1838. 5 Militia General Order. llin Excellency the Lieutenant Governor has re ceived certain information that an extensive con spiracy has been formed, by numerous unprinci pled and rapacious inhabitants of the neighboring friendly Htatcs, with a view to force upon this Province the domination of the said conspirators, and to visit the loyal inhabitants of this Province with lawless war, plunder and devastation. The Lieutenant Governor, in anticipation of an adequate exhibition of force and activity on the pari of the government of the United States, who continue to declare a most friendly disposition to ward Great Britain, has forborne to call upon the loyal inhabitants of Upper Canada, to prepare to defend in arms their institutions, their families, and their homes; but the Lieut. Governor now con ceives that the time is come when it would he un jusHo her Majesty’s loyal people, to risk the con sequence of a failure on the part of the most friend ly foreign government, to preserve peaceable rela tions toward those colonics; and therefore, for the purpose of preventing the apprehensions which might naturally arise among a peaceable population, in ( lie vicinity ofa rapacious enemy, th" Lieuten ant Governor is induced to call nut once more a portion of the gallant militia of Upper Canada, as a volunteer force in the full confidence and cer tainly that the wicked and lawless designs of the public enemy will be met by a corresponding exhi bition of the loyal and gallant feeling which has al ways distinguished Upper Canada, when engaged in regular war, as well as when threatened with aggression from pirates and brigands. The Lieutenant Governor will therefore forth with issue orders to some distinguished officers, to call out a portion of the militia of the province. The Lieut. Governor assures the loyal inhabit ants of the province, that, he is in full possession of the designs of the enemy, who have nominally many among them who have not forgotten their allegiance to Her Majesty, or their duly to their Canadian brethren, and only appear in the ranks of the brigands at present, to save themselves from insult and violence. By command of Hi; Excellency, trt.u Oeohue An rutin. RICHARD BULLOCK, Adj't. General Militia. The Official Gazette of last Thursday contains s;x proclamations; the first again proroguing the provincial Parliament to the 4th of December; and the second declaring a general amnesty in favor of all parties who have tied the province, not having been indicted for treason or treasonable practice and inviting them to return, absolved and released from all punishment or prosecution. The other four are declarations of attainder against such par ties as have fled the province, having been indicted for treason or treasonable practice, provided they do not return and submit to justice before Februa-. ry. Among the parties to whom these proclama tions relate —about one hundred in number—we observe the names of John Ralph, William L. Mackenzie, Silas Fletcher, Alexander McLeod.

'i’ne Montreal Courier, in answer to enquiries respecting Sutherland says, our American contem poraries who seem fidgetty about the actual locali ty of Sutherland are informed, that he is still in durance vile, being unable to find the required se curity for his future good behaviour. From, the N. Y. Herald. Money iUurket. Mon hat, October 30—0 P. M. We have received financial information of an important nature from Philadelphia. The banks there have been curtailing their discounts to sonic extent. This is attributed to the policy of the U. S. Bank. This institution, it seems, has entered into negotiations with the southern banks for the purpose of furnishing them with a currency, sulii cient in amount, to cany them through the re sumption of specie payments in January next. One fact illustrative of this negociation, lias been revealed. A large amount, equal to §3,000,000 is to be advanced between litis tunc and January, in the notes of the U. States Bank, to the Mississippi banka. In exchange for this sum the bonds of the State are given, issued under a late law au thorizing a loan of 415,000,000. ’1 he U. S. Bank sends her notes to Mississippi for the loan, at the same period she remits the Stale bonds to Europe, on which to draw bills of exchange. The Missis sippi banks engage to keep in circulation ibis amount of U. S. paper, and to withdraw their own to an equal extent. This is the nature of the arrangement between the U. 8. Bank and the institutions of Mississippi. With Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee, we cannot speak as yet. so particularly of the arrange ment negociating for the saute purpose. Wc be lieve, however, that the banks of Mobile, New Orleans, and Nashville will sooner or later, come into a similar arrangement, calculated to prodme the same result in the South, viz; the resumption of specie payments, and the establishment of a sound currency, consisting principally of U. 8. Bank notes always redeemable in specie, at the several points of issue. The amount of such notes required by these banks may reach, for the current season, probably £3,000,098, if not $lO 000,000. Wc do not state this matter as yet complete, but tlic negociation is under way, and from every in dication there is a probability of its ultimate suc cess. From this devclopcmcnt will be seen the basis of the secret movements of the southwestern banks towards a resumption of specie payments. The plan is entirely novel in this country, although in England a similar plan has been in existence for several years past. Beginning the system with 1 S3l, there are now 21 joint stock and private hanks, that take fixed amounts of the notes of the Bunk of England for their current circulation, without issuing any of their own. An additional number of 20 banks also act on tho same plan with the Bank of England, but do not take fixed sums for their current use. By this means the Bank of England furnishes a large amount of end retry for Lancashire and the manufacturing dis tricts. Mr. Biddle seems to be adopting a similar plan for the south—a plan which will have a great cllect on the movements of tho cotton market at I he coming season, as well as give the United States Bank, a large increase of circulation at the south and southwest. The plan has been in operation nearly seven years in England, and has been found to work very beneficially, although some capitalists in London allege that ii led, indirectly, to the spe culation and overtrading of 1630 7. In this country at tho approaching season for the shipment of cotton, it will be found very benefi cial—furnishing the basis of a sound system of currency and exchange which can easily be pre vented, by a man of skill, from running into ex pansion. It is an organization, among a number of bunks, with its centre in New York, that will give Mr. Biddle greater power than ever over the elements of commerce. The only apparent obsta cle, is the natural tendency of his notes to return to tho north, as a medium of exchange. This, however, will he prevented by the necessary wants of the southwest for a currency to transact the largo operations of commerce, and also by making the issues of the Bank payable in specie at Mobile, New Orleans, Natchez, or Nashville, instead of Philadelphia ot New York. The variation be tween the present currency of the south and north is diminishing every day, as will appear by the fol lowing : Price, </southern note" and exchange in N. Y. Oct. 29.

Bank notes for a large portion of the local bank notes there. The curtailment of the United Stales Bank and its associates in Philadelphia, is therefore, adopted, in order to improve the ( urrency of tho south, and to enable the southern banks to furnish the means necessary for carrying the cotton crop to market. In this city we do not feel this curtailment, because the hunk here furnishes foreign exchange, based on storks gone or going to Europe. The alterna tions of contraction and expansion, south and north, arise from the natural movements of trade. Li England, the bank and its branches, by the evi dence of the recent secret committee, always con tract mid expand together. Mr. Biddle has devised a belter and more efficient system —a system of violations in the currency based on the vibrations of trade. A currency is most wanted at the south in the coming months; therefore lie contracts his discounts at the n irth. at a time when such a con traction is least lobe iclt. They must not grumble, therefore—every section in its turn will be benefited by these skilful vibrations, which are as natural in the right management of currency, as the changes oj the weather arc in ripening the wheat, and ma king the fields yield up their wealth. fin- \srr. v Noras—Official.'—The Secreta ry of the I rensury officially makes the following announcement, under date of the Ist hi.-t.
