May 10, 1837- The new s by this morning’s Express is of ex traordinary interest. Mr. Van Buicn lias issued his proclamation convening Congress on the fiist of September! After having refused to do so at the earnest request of the merchants of New York, through iheir committee, he is now com pelled hy the force of circumstances to do that which, the sagacity of his adversaries foresaw to be necessary. Hut why did he not appoi.,l an earlier day for the meeting! We reply, for fear that the w orld might auppos* him to have been moved to this measure by the advice of his op ponents, and although he lias done precisely wha t they deni red and he refused, yet his pride as a partisan has prompted him to do it in such a manner as to endeavor to relieve himself from the suspicion of acting upon their suggestions! He nowa bends to the storm which Jackson and him self have raised—his days are numbered—tho people will cast out tho demagogues from the high places of power. There has been also an arrival from London bringing dales to the 11 th April. The Bank ol England has assumed the responsibilities and will wind up the. business of the house of Geo.

At a meeting of the Citizens of Augusta, held | at Hie Masonic Hall, in pursuance of public untie# to consider the present alalejnf commercial affairs, | and to recommend the course, which ought to be pursued by the Banks in the present crisis, j WILLIAM W. HOLT, Esq. was called to the Chair, and John Kebii and William T. Gould appointed Sccreluiics. IjgwuTf ffale, Esq., submitted to the meeting a \ and resolutions, which were seconded , * hy Solomon Knccland, Esq., and considered and , adopted as fellows. i When evils of an extraordinary character are < found to exist, more than ordinary remedies I 1 must be applied, and seeming deviations from 1 the correct mode of conducting ali.iirs arc justi- . lied and required by the exigencies of the case, j In the opinion oflbis meeting such a ea«c is lire, 1 seated in the unexampled stale of Hie Commcr- ] cial world, which, fiom the greatest prosperity, • has in a moment fallen Into utter confusion—in volving not merely tho extravagant speculator, who voluntarily incurs all the har.auls of com merce, but all others however cautious and pru dent, who have any interest at stake in the com monwealth, It is needless at this time to exam- j i inc into l!io causes of the present disastrous stale j of affairs—it is enough for Us to See and to sees the enormous evils which it produces, and cmleav. or to devise some means of relief for ourselves and ' Olliers. After a protracted struggle, all the Bank ing institutions of the great cities of the North— j unable to withstand the course of events which threatened to overwhelm all who madly resisted its progress —have found it necessary for their own security and the relief of those whoso safely depended upon theirs, to adopt a measure which, however objectionable under ordinary circum stances, seems to be the only safe and efficient one in the present crisis,—appearances indicate hat their example will soon be generally if not universally followed. Wo will not dwell upon the circumstances which preceded Iho emUarras menls lately existing in the northern cities, or at tempt among conflicting opinions as to its causes ) to determine which most nearly approaches the truth. We only know that the bunks of those cit ies, after endeavoring to meet the great and in creasing demands upon them for Iho precious met uls,which had become almost the sole means ofox rkange with Europe, have finally and unanimous ly determined that the ruinous drain shall cease. This determination, which at other limes would have called forth universal reprobation, is now looked upon, not only us a measure of prudence for the safely of those institutions but llic har binger of belter tilings to the communities in which they exist. Finding tho demand for spe cie increasing and still to increase so long as mo cys were to be remitted to Europe, and the ordina ry mode of Exchanges was interrupted, they, for a long lime, firmly met the draf.s made Upon thorn but in preparing for these they necessarily ab stained from all business which would increase their labilities. Every new discount increased the embarrasment of those who made it; and thence at the very moment when the merchant required the aid of the banks, they were the least able to give it. Men of ample means, whose pa per at other tiroes would have been sought after, whose business had been conducted with prn deuce and crowned w ith success, shared the com mon fate. Failure rapidly succeeded failure, pecuniary distress to a degree and extent wholly unexampled, spread gloom and despondency over the late bright and cheerful sconces of activity and successful enterprixe—suffttings the most heart rending were spreading dismay and desolation, not merely among the merchants on change, hut into the bosom of thousands of once happy fami lies, cut oil'in a day from present comforts and bright anticipations, and consigned te poverty and despair. These’sufferings wera not unknown to or unheeded by those who conducted tho affairs of the banka; but they could not at the same time re lieve these distresses and continue to meet the demands for specie. They were obliged to and existed ; liul wc are intimately (t! commercial rclaliona, with all llio civic* of fit® ic North in which these things have occurred ; and, b by the facilities of communication, arc brought under their direct influence. The Banks of the North have suspended specie payments ; but the demand far specie isundiininished, and «iU seek its object wherever it may be found. Ihe merchants of Charleston and New York, for the purpose of remittance and speculation, brokers ( and their agents from all quarters, will draw on j our Banks as long as they coulinao to pay spe ; cic ; and in this way they will ho required to I supply not only such an amount as is needed by our own people, but to yield up the contents ol ( their vaults to the very last cent, for the convent- i encc of the merchants of other places, which have • suspended specie payments, or to gratify the cu- ( pidity of those who accumulate coin merely to , speculate upon the wants of their neighbors. In this dilemma, one of two things will be dene ; the Banks will continue to redeem their hills, however inconvenient it may he, or they wil 1 | temporarily suspend specie payments for the pur | pose of obtaining other advantages—unallaina- ■ ble without a suspension. i If the Bank , determine to continue specie pay" I merits, wc apprebend the following evils: hirst, That they will necessarily direct their whole , attention to the mere acquisition of specie and ( specie funds; ami to the attainment ol that oh- i ject, w ill sacrifice all othets, however important ' to the Interests of individuals, the community, arid ultimately, to themselves. —From this cause, great embarrassment has already preceded in the business of exchange on The north: these lunds being in fuel preferable to «pcciv*|w*he ordinary course of business, instead ol by the Banks for the convenience of our mcrehaqls in remitting to New Yurie or clsewere, ate dctiiod to them, because llie Banks may require them for the redemption of their own Bills—and thence this mode of exchange is entirely destroyed, to the great detriment ol trade, and incalculable injury to the credit of individuals, who ate thus made defaulters, when they arc bollt willing and aide to meet their distant engagements. Our Banks, while those of N. Y r ork ami other large chics continued to pay specie, always had it in their power to replenish their vaults from a distance, but as if evils never eamo singly, at liris moment ol extreme embarrassment, a large mass of the specie of the country lias by the policy of the Government, been thrown qmic out of rhe range of commerce and entirely jlfvyond our reach. England has drained the At lantic cities till they can yield us nothing; and the Influx of coin from Mexico is entirely sus pended by Iho distracted slate of that country and its neighbor republic. Under these circum stances wc apprehend (hat the soundest institu tions in the country will have exhausted the whole, or rieaify thp whole, of their specie, before they will have redSknnjd their bills in circulation ; —and tliis brings ua to a most important consid eration : wolo - upon tiro suspension of specie payments, as in itself, an evil, and justifiable on ly by the extraordinary stale of the country, and that they ought to ho resumed as soon as practi cable. Now, it appears to us, that a temporary suspwisiomrt'sopic period, more or less remote, is inevitable; and if so, every day tftsrt-fi'nr3wks_, continue to pay out specie, renders lira resump tion more difficult and more remote. Fur this rcas n, therefore, if fur no other, wo would re commend a temporary suspension, during which, by furnishing exchange for their own hills, and by other means, they might soon reduce their cir culation to swell an extent, as to resume payment without the least hazard to themselves or others. The bcuollts wo anticipate from lire course re-, commended, may he staled in a few words. Fiesli tire advantage of retaining among m a sufficient amount of specie to enable lire Banks more speed' ilv to resume the payment of with, it tiro perfect certainty of their continuing to do so, without embarrassment to their own general business and I that of tho community. Secondly: that being relieved from lire necessity of pioviding for the ! immediate redemption of every bill they have in j circulation, tho Banks could and would accom- I rnodato persons of undoubted credit and soiven ' ev, who are now greatly embarrassed by the i rn -1 possibility of negotiating loans or converting their 1 property into cash otherwise than at a ruiious sactifrc". Thirdlys that the produce of tiro planter, the merchandize of tiro tradesman, tire property of all classes and conditions of men, now reduced greatly below its intrinsic value from the scarcity of money, and most of it unsaleable at any price, may be again fairly brought into mar ket and disposed of, K not for what il is worth, at least for something neater its value. Be it therefore llesolved That the Banks in this oily he requested to suspend specie payments, to prevent the withdrawal of their coin to other Slates and Countries, in consequence of the sus‘ pension of specie payments by the banks in most of Iho Northern, Eastern and South Western cit its. 111-solved, That we entertain a perfect confi dence in the soundness of all tiro Banking insti tutions in this city, and hereby pledge ourselves to sustain them in tho measure which wc request them to adopt by continuing to receive their notes at par.

The i..telligcncc they conlain is to the full as gloomy as wss expected, although it consists rather of portents than of positive results. One of the great American houses—that ofG. Wildes & Co. —had been compelled to solicit aid fmm tlic Bank of Eiigland l \vith the intimation that unless it was given they must stop payment at once. The aid was given, to a large amount, after long and anxious consultation between the directors of tire Bank and thb treasury depart ment, although Messrs. Wildes A. Co were un able. to offer any security. 'The papers are full of cotnltiCfU* upon this transaction, and opinions, of course, ire various. It was feared and expected that other Amfericen bouses would be compelled to follow the exam ple of Wildes & t 0., and the question is very anxiously discus-ed, wether and to what extent the Bank can aid litem in their need. All is ad mitted to depend on the slate of the remittances from this country, and wo know well enough what they have been. , Ouo of the papers sa’a *hal tho Bank has a ken upon itself all the ImtijlilL** of V\ tides and Co. mid will wind up their atluirs.

From die. .V. V. Odh/ Express, May 15. MONEY AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND. 'l’ito crisis is approaching rapidly in the Eng lish money market. A meeting of merchants Iras been held in Liverpool. Mr. Joint Cropper was culled to tire chair, Mr. Joseph Sanders ad dcssed the meeting, and concluded by moving a series of resolutions, embodying the vievva ol commercial men, and submitted to llie meeting for their approbation. These resolutions were, in substance, that it was expedient and ncccsary for commercial men to apply to Government for pecuniary assistance, loanable them to hold tlteir stocks of produce until the present pressure should have passed, and prices should have reach ed rales which would prevent the pecuniary sacri fices which must follow present sales. The reso lutions were adopted unanimously, the urgent necessity of immediate application to llie Gov ernment for pecuniary assissance having been rccogni-ed by all lire gentlemen present at the meeting. A deputation to proceed to London, to lay the wishes of the merchants ot Liverpool before the Government, was liken appointed. A deputation lias also been sent from Man chester. The request they make is, that the Government issue Exchequer hills upon bond ed American produce, which the Government as yet do not seem disposed lo do. The arrangement between the Bank and Mqmiß. G. Wlides & Go., leads many presons in England to believe that llie Bunk have so fur committed themselves in litis affair, that they are bound lo extend llie same assistance lo all the American houses if required, in wbicbcave, the London Globe, all doubt about tho final result oftbeir cmbairassnicnls is rojjiovpdl London, Saturday Evening, April 8. Tint Bank of Enolanu. — If-appears that Messrs. George Wilde & Co. in resequence of. the lion-arrival of packers with nfiuitianccs. attiL other causes, fopud it impossible;!!) nmoUferTTn-I incuts coming jtie tn-d iiobfUT. told the unless a c nsiderabio sum was iiilvanvUtniv them, they must stop payment this moriiiiffc; slating at the same time, that they were wholly unprepared lo under any other guarantee Ulan their personal security. The sys tem of the Bunk of England, it is well known has always been to refuse unhesitatingly lo make advances except upon approved sjcuritics, so that the application itself was a novel one; but as it was represented lo them that an awful slate of tilings might be brought about by dieir withhold ing succor, the request was taken into eons.dela tion. After much discussion it was resolved, that the Government should be ma le acquainted, with tho business, and llie meeting, as we staled, adjourned until half past 5 for that purpose. No proposition, it appears, was, however made to the government, and tire only remark which fell from the minister was, that lie suppo sed they knew what to do. After litis waste of time, so precious to the credit of Messrs. Wilde, it was determined, hut not without much oppo sition, that tho Bank should lake upon itself the liabilities of tho firm and wind up its allairs. This, is indeed, an important stop, and wholly at variance villi the lulcs of the Bank. It cstab lislics, besides, a precedent which may perhaps bring them in great trouble, and opens a door to almost endless applications ; for, of course evciy other house which finds itself in a similar posi tion will have a right to expect a similar treat merit. The great hostility of tho Bank of Eng land towards joint stock banks lias been chiefly caused by the circumstance oftbeir lending mo ney on personal security, and yet it appears that they now advocate a principle which they have heretofore deprecated in the strongest terms. The Bunk directors, by this vote, have declared ' themselves traders as well as bankers and placed themselves in u position to iacur all llie risks arid liabilities of commerce. As long as tiro mercantile community of the 1 United Slates had to deal directly with Messrs. ’ Wilde,they would no doubt have used every r effort to make remittaccs lo lltcml hut when they • find it is the Bank ot England with whom they have to transact, especially if they are pressed for money themselves, they may consider that it will he of no consequence whether they pay them im mediately, and by delaying to liquidate their debts may enter into fresh unprofitable speculations, and ultimately bo unable to do any tiling. YVliat llie proprietors of Bunk Stock may think,at pres -1 cut it is difficult to say ; but if they find that the t next dividend is made up from the “rest,” their r approbation of (Ire measure will unqucstioably not be unanimous. What tire, ulterior ob ject was of the interview with’ Mr. Spring Rico does not appear ; but it is unlikely that , they would hold a conference merely because an application was made for assistance, and there. 1 fore il leaves room for all kinds of conjecture.— Many persons suppose that the dircctorsare really a ware of the dangerous road they have entered upon; arid being apprehensive that they might lie placed in lire most awkard position, and require themselves the aid of Government, have made tire • minister acquainted with their resolution, so that in case of necessity they might have it in tlteir power to say they did nothing without the knowl edge of the Government. —[Ministerialpaper.] From the N T.

In leaning upon us f are leaning upon a broken staff. The like cau ses which have precipitated the crisis in the g. r States, will hurry il on in England. Ihe house k of Messrs. W. F. Porter and Son, of Liverpool, » engaged in the East India trade, had stopped payment. The Exchequer Bills prayed for from Manchester and Liverpool, the Chancellor of j the Exchequer, Mr. Spring Rice, it appears, f would not grant. Dills enough,the London papers r sav, came out by the South America, and Gar rick, but little or no specie. The heavy strong gales of wind from the North Bast prevented the f airival of any more packets in England, as w- j as causing many accidents in lire Englt-lt tan riel. The New York papers, wc are mid by pas- i setigers in tire Wellington, are now sought t»r | in England, with the gieatcst eagerness, Such is the anxiety ta hear of our commercial all-airs. , Tlic“ Pennsylvania,” the packet ship last due , in England, was anxiously looked for. Ihe tide of emigration is settiilg with impetuosity from England for the United States. A letter written from this city to Albany, by our Commercial Representative, C. C. Cambre ieng, is the cause of no little excitement in both cities. Mr. Camhreleng, according to lire Alba ny Evening Journal, has written, and urged, that “THE BANKS SHOULD BE LEFT FO THEIR FATE, WE HAVE GOT THEM ON THE HIP, AND MUST KEEP THEM THERE,’’ which in a crisis like this, is a re commendation as wicked as any mancauld make, but most outrageous and insulting from him, who has done all in his power, ir. f ongress and out, lo bankrupt the merchants of this city, to throw the mechanics out of employ, and lo break the Banks, and thus flood the country with rag money little or big. Monday. 15 May. The orders from Washington that all bonds and dues at llie Post Office should be paid in specie has created a prodigious sensation. The bonds cannot and will not be paid. As to letters in the Post Office, many persons will endeavor to got their letters by paying a premium for small change That tire; French Inemnity and government de bentures should be paid off in depiccialcd paper, and at the same time that the government should require specie from the merchants can not be submitted to. Slocks are all up again to-day. The paper ■ currency is working to a charm. The news of tire Now Y'ork suspension of spe cie payments reached tire Eastward, as far as Port land, on Friday morning, and crcalcd*thcre the greatest sensation. The Bank Directors met forthwith, a public meeting was called, and the Portland Advertiser, a leading mercantile paper of the city,advises the banks loyicid lo Iho storm. There is hut lillio doubt that Maine will follow the example o! the other Stales. The Bank of the metropolis, on Saturday, though hard run, continued to pay specie. The Globe, of Saturday night, has the following sig nificant paragraph. “ Wc shall publish a notice by tho Secretary of the Treasury on Monday, which will apprise the community of the course he contemplates pursuing in regard to the public creditors, and tiie preservation ns far as possible of the public faith during the present wide and regretted sus pension of specie payments.
