The Two Admirals. In her present dearth of pout men, England could ill afford to lose two such naval heroes as Lord Dundonald and Sir Charles Napier- Dundonald was more than a great man, in tho ordinary acceptation of the term ; ho de served rather to be called the Last of tho Vi- Eings, and, indeed, his family claimed descent from 'one of these adventurous sea-rovers. Napier sprung from a race which has won distinction by the pon as well as the sword j was a man of less heroic cast; but still did great things in bis day. Thomas Coohbank, tenth Earl of Dundonald, Baron Coohbank, oi Dundonald, and Lord Cochrane, of Paisley and Ochiltree, was born eighty-ffve years since, and entered the British navy sixty-seven years ago. Until his 'father’s death, in 1831, he bore the courtesy title of Lord vOoohbahb, and by that name will live in the naval-annals of England, South America, and Greece. He employed his later years in writing an Autobiography, the second volume of which appeared on the day of his death. Romance could scarcely have imagined adventures more wild and wonderful in their gallantry and success than those of Lord Cochrane. Remarkable as they are, History attests, to the fullest, that they are true. Yonng Coohbank entered the British navy at the age. of eighteen, and from the very first, was distinguished by extraordinary daring and dashing intrepidity displayed during the English war with France. Ho never heeded disparity of force, and distinguished himself *by cutting rich prizes out of harbors where they were protected by land fortresses. For the capture of a frigate off Barcelona, his own force being much inferior, he was made post captain at tho age of twenty-six. Alter Nel son’s death, in 1805, Coohbank (Alison says) « was the greatest commander in that age of glory." He adds: “ The skill and indefatiga ble perseverance with ' which, during tho Spanish war, whdft in command of his own frigate, Coohbank alarmed and distracted the whole coast from Toulon to Barcelona, bas never been surpassed; with tho crew of a frigate, which did net exceed three hundred and fifty men, he kept ten thousand of the enemy constantly occupied.” His blockade and defeat of the French fleet, in the Bosque Roads, on which, as upon a forlorn hope, he was sent, obtained him the knighthood oi the Bath, and, thongh the Lords of the Admiralty disliked him, the highest honors of his profes sion seemed open to him. On shore, however, if equally bold, he was less prudent than at sea. He was elected a member of the House of Commons, first lor the obscure borongh of Honiton, and next for the metropolitan city of 'Westminster. He was strongly in opposition to the Government and warmly an advocate of Parliamentary Reform, so long the bug-bear of the Toiy party. An opportunity of crashing him was made or taken. In June, 1814, Lord Cochrane, the Hen. A. Cochrane Johnstone, M. P., and fire others were tried, in the Court of King’s Bench, before Lord EnLENBOROuan, for al leged accession in a hoax, perpetrated in tbe preceding February, upon tho Stock Ex change, (announcing Bonaparte’s assassina tion) whereby the Funds rose 10 per cent. These parties were convicted, and Lord Coch rans was sentenced to pay a fine of £5OO, to be imprisoned for twelve months, and to stand in the pillory. Subsequently, he and his rela tive, Hr. Cochrane Johnstone, wero expelled the House oi Commons, on account of this conviction. Finally, in August, 1814, Lord Cochrane was Btruck off the list of naval cap tains, and deprived of his honors and rank as Knight of the Bath, and his arms, banners, &c., Were literally kicked out of Henry the Seventh’s Chapel, in Westminster Abbey, to carry out this degradation—being the first sinco tho establishment of the Order in 1399. The Tory Government, which dared not put Lord Cochrane into the pillory, remitted that part of his sentence. The public, por suaded that he was the victim oi party pro ceedings, paid the fine by subscription. The ‘electors oi Westminster, who believed that Cochrane bad; suffered because he represent ed their liberal opinions, re-elected him to Parliament. Escaping from prison, ho took his seat in the House of Commons, bnt was recommitted. At the end of his imprison ment, he appeared in his place in Parliament, as an opponent of the Liverpool Administra tion. Upon the subject of tho charge against him, which rained his fortunes, thongh it did not materially injure his character, Alison tbe historian, who heard Lord Cochrans speak, in theHonso of Commons, sgainst the motion to expel him, emphatically declares that he “ has never entertained a doubt oi his inno cence ; and even if the facts charged had been distinctly brought homo to him, it was surely a most unwarrantable stretch to sentence to the degrading punishment cf tho pillory so heroic a character, especially for a proceed ing involving no moral turpitudo, and rarely,* if ever, before or sinco made the object ol punishment." In 1818, tired with inaction and disgusted with Tory domination, Lord Cocheank ac cepted the command of the Hoot of Chili, which wan then battling for national indepen dence. As ostial, he performed many gallant feate—the inoet brilliant being his capture of Valdivia and his catting ent the Spanish frigate Emtmtia from under the lortiflcations ot Callao. In 1822, he exchanged the Chilian service for that of. Brazil, and the Emperor Pkdko created him Marquis of Maranao. Ho was successful here also, and returned to Eng land, after the Independence of the South American Republics had been secured. In 1827 and. 1828, he fought with the Greeks, then fighting for liberation from the yoke oi Turkey. This closed bis naval career, in which, as has been said, that equal to Nelson in personal gallantry, enthusiastic ardor, and devotion to his country, he was perhaps his superior in original geitius, inventive powor, and inexhaustible resources. When Lord Cookkahe became Earl oi Dnn donald, by his father’s death, in 1881, Wn>- liau the Fourth, himself a sailor, was King of England, and Earl Geay was at the head of a very liberal Government. With no delay, the hero of the Basque Roads was reinstated in the navy, and created rear-admiral. In 1811, he was made Vice-Admiral oi the Blue; in 1847, the Order of the Bath was restored to liim; in 1848, he was placed in command of the fleet on the West Indian and North Ame rican stations; in 1851, he became Vice-Ad miral oi the White; and Admiral or the Uni ted Kingdom in 1854. His death, at a very advanced age, was not unexpected, but is much lamented in England, where he was con sidered the last hero oi the Nelson race of seamen. It is said that an application to pay him final honor, by interring him in 'West minster Abbey, has been met with a cold re. ftisal by Lord Palmkbbtoh’s Ministry. Tho pigmies conld not appreciate the giant t Very different from Lord Ooohbahe, and some eleven years hia junior, ia Vice-Admiral .Sir Charles Namer, who is also Count Capo. St. Vincent in the peerage of Portugal. En tering the navy at the ago oi .thirteen, young Napier saw a great deal of servico during the French war, and, at the reduction of Martin ique, was the first to scale tho walls. He served, after this, on land, as a volunteer, du ring the Spanish war—then, in tho navy, against’ Sicily, and, in 1813, in tho war with America, taking part in the expedition against Baltimore and the operations against Alexan dria. At the close of the war, in 1815, his occupation WAS gone. In 1829 he was sent to Portugal against Hon Miguel, and accepted the command of the Portngnose fleet in 1888, won the decisive battle of Cape St. Vincent, which settled the War of Succession, placed Dohha Maria on the throne, and caused her to make him a Portuguese peer. In 1839, during the war on the coast of Syria, Napier, as second in command un der Admiral Siopfobd, took part in all the encounters, and took Acre, almost by a coup it mam, fighting in the strfceta and upon the flat honse-tops with Teckless courage. He was made. Knight of the Bath, for these ex ploits; received the thanks Of Parliament; was presented with the ribbons of the leading military and naval orders of Europe; raised to the rank of Admiral, and elected to the House of Commons (from 1841 to 1847,) by tho borough of Marylebone. He commanded the'fleet sent to the Tagus in 1847, and the channel ' fleet. -His constant grumbling, in pamphlets as weU as in Parliament, against what he called the mal-admimstratlon of naval affairs, made him' unpopular with the British Ministry. But papular opimmi declared him to be , the best, if not the wily man to take; cqaamalid'of the Baltic, Fleet in 1854, and he" was appointed. There was no small brag-, ging beforehand, by himseli and friendS, of what ha was to do against the Russians; their THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1860, fleet to he brought into Portsmouth, and Cronstadt to bo taken within a month. Ho issued an order commanding his sailors to grind their cutlasses, fot the purpose of cutting off Russian heads. Cronstadt, however, ho found or fancied impregnable, and, as Charles ICnicht records, 11 he re turned home without having gained any lau rels except by the destruction of the pretty town and fort of Bomersund j but he was able to announce that he had brought home his ships uninjured—a valuable service no doubtj but the first timo probably that such a claim to honor was put forw'ardby an English Ad miral in time of War.” He was then in his seventieth year, and was never again put in command. Boldly asserting, on his return, that Lord Aberdeen, the Prime Minister, and Sir James Graham, first Lord of tho Admiralty, had combined, by giving him inadequate force and insufficient naval stores, to render him power less before Cronstadt, Napier succeeded in creating an impression, at tho timo, that ho had been badly used, if not actually betrayed. At that timo, too, tho popular belief was that Lord Aberdeen was extremely disinclined to hostilities against tbe late Czar, with whom ho was on intimate terms. Considered as a Mar tyr, Sip Charles Napier .was olected M.P. for the metropolitan borough of Southwark, by popular fooliDg, in November, 1866, on the death of Sir William Molesworth. He continued to represent that borough until his death, a fortnight ago. In Parliament, Sir Charles Napier was a great failure. Without tho slightest preten sions to oratory, ho was a very frequent speaker, bringing no small amount of practi cal knowledge to tlie discussion of naval af fairs, hut wearying and disgusting his hearers by vehement and ill-mannered personal at tacks upon officials and others who did not think that Charles Napier, Admiral of the Blue, was the very best officer to command tho whole navy of England, and also to sit in the Cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty. Hiß advocacy, in and out of Parliament, of the abolition of flogging in the navy must be remembered to his credit. In politics he' was an extreme liberal—advocating universal euf frage, vote by ballot, short Parliaments, ex clusion of Bishops from tho House of Lords, and abolition of all Church-rates. When Lord Cochrane sat in tho House of Commons, from 1807 to 1818, ho was a strong but no means violent speaker. As Earl of Dundonald, a Scotch peer, be never sat in the House of Lords. There is no opportunity, theroiore, of comparing the old ago ef Coch rane with that of Napier. Undeniably, both were gallant naval officers. Cochrane, was a hero aiter the fashion of the antique times, and his valor was constantly successful. Napier’s failure before Cronstadt has helped to erase tho memory of his many gallant deeds during a long life of active servico. Out of his profession, he fvd's a commonplaco and eveii disagreeable man. Tlie Philosophy of Facts and Figures-- Data for Merchants and Statesmen. We publish, in another part of The Press, two masterly articles from that invaluable jour nal, Fernon’s United Slalei Railroad and Mining Register, of the 17th Inst.j to Which wo direct the attention of business men and poli ticians—and particularly of all those who are interested in the progress and prosperity of Philadelphia, and of our groat State. Mr. Fernon does not publish a political paper, and contonts himself with a simple statement of facts and figures, leaving the inletence to tho intelligent reader. No such porson will care fully peruse those two articles without inevita bly coming to these conclusions: I. Tho utter impracticability of a successful dissolution of tho Union, and tho certain iail uro of all those States which resolve to follow tho example of South Carolina. 11. The enormous advantages of Pennsylva nia growing out of her railroad connections with tho conservative States of the South, as well as with those which are more remote, and governed by more extreme opinions. HI. Her highly iavorablo connections with the West and Northwest. IV. The increase of population in Philadel phia and NeW York, and thoir respective manufacturing and Commercial advantages. , V. The necessity oi establishing manufac tures and attracting emigration, to the South before Disunion can be made profitable or re spectable. And finally, the vast Influence of the rela tions of transportation and trade upon those who are laboring to separate this Confede racy. No Philadelphian will Yefiect upon the fee 1 cond article from tho Register without realis ing the importance of opening early steam communicatioh with Europb. May not the very effort of tho iactionista in the South awaken Philadelphia and every other city to a consideration of their own resources and to tho benefits to bo derived from extending their relations with distant points ? WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. ■ Letter Irom “ Occasional,” [Correepondenod oi The Press.] Washington, November 20,1860. The Christian patriot who looks ont from his quietude upon tho boiling wavea of Southern Dleu* niouism, will turn his eyca, with a ecdbc of grate ful relief, to tho generally oalm dignity of the Northern people. ‘With the exception of a fow fa natios who, for their own purposes, place ek&gge. rated constructions upon the late election, the many millions of freettoon scattered oVbr that jpatt of tho country in which BlaVery does not e±lst» contemplato, with indulgent fiilcnoe, tho threats and terrors of those who seem to haro resolved, for one or another ro&son, to raze tbe Republio to the ground. Mr. Lincoln himself preserves an admi rable equanimity, and those who apeak for him, — even the wildest of thorn—seem inspired by his example, and rival each other in oounsels of fra ternity and good will. Nothing is so apt to disarm violence and intemperance as oolleotodness of man ner, and fixedness of purposo. A manifvo is fre quently trarquiliscd by gentle tteatmeht, and is said of Karey, the great horse-tamer, that when he entered the Stall o'f a* steed which had never knofrn control before, he subdued him in an instant, withokt using whip or spa*. Human na ture is the saine itll ovel* the world, and the South ern statesman oannot fail to be impressed by tho general tone of the Northern mind. And yet there are some things taking place in South Carolina well calculated to disturb a much less impressible people than ours. Think of the American flag being hauled down from an Amorican steamer, in obedience to tbe command of a brutal mob, and in its stead a local banner raised, in order to pro pitiate that mob, and to obtain certain commercial advantages! dhink of Ball Columbia and Yankee Doodle laag r oed at and derided, and the revolu tionary hymn of a foreign nation substituted amid responsive acclamations! Think of Jackson, and Washington, and Madison insulted and repudiated! Aots like theso may be called the acts of inebriated madmen; but will it bo supposed for a moment that sueh doings will not reaoh the warm hearts of the Southern people like blows doalt with the coldoat and sharpest steel-freezing the blood in their veins, and causing suoh a revival of the memories of the past as will make them tremble before the perils and the evils that are invoked upon their heads by tbelr own misguided brethren ? And if such sentiments are inspired at the firo eides of the South, what xnußtbe the feelings of thoso who par ticipated in none of those performances ? When tho Amerioan citizen visits a foreign land, the first object ho seeks for is tbe fisg.of his whole country. Surrounded with strangers, it recalls to him his absent family and friends. It spoaks of a united Republio, an i he dwells upon it as a messen ger that insures him protection abroad, and honor at home. Heretofore this glorious symbol awaken, ed the spontaneous and heartfelt enthusiasm of all Amerloans—whether they live in the South or tho North, in the Hast or tho West; and shall it not be bo hereafter ? Perish tho thought! That ban ner, the type of an unbroken oountry, the emblem of an empire stretohing Its arms from sea to sea, tho sign of a rapidly increasing population—all bound to support the same Constitution, though living in many latitudes—is, for every reason, an object of hatred to monarohs and despots. When ever & new ataris the galaxy that shines In the (as yet) unoloudod heaven of that flag, it is like’ tearing away a now sun from tho future of isolated Europe, and deepens still more the gloom that settles upon thoso notions where man is not free, where spoeoh is not free, and whore even thought itsolf Is stifled. And when fleeiDg from oppression or poverty, tho hunted and strioken sons of Ireland, Qormany, France, and England come hither for proteotion, they hail the banner that was tmlutlad in tha Revolution, and that has continued to float and expand Us dimensions &e State after State was admitted into the Union, os a oanopy and a shield above and around them, pro tecting them against all harm, and making the as surance of equality doubly sure. When they come to take the oath, and to sunder all alio glanoe to the tyrants they have left, they swear to supjwrt tho entire Union~not one but all tho slfctp&y they come hero, not to be oitizens of South jQaitfjHsa, or of Pennsylvania, but of the, United States of America. Hence it is that the masses of out adopted citizens rally so enthusiastically to every candidate, and to every platform represent 1 log Che unmutilated Republic and the Indl&btiuble Union. Tho fire-eaters of South Carolina and Georgia committed a frantlo. blunder in beginning their orusade upon tbe Confitltutl6n and the Union with an insult to the Star Spangled banner. They re* lied too muoh upon their own run-mad rhetorio, and too little upon the irresistible feeling that wells around &U Amerioan hearts. Strange to say, many of the doctrines against which the fire eaters are now protesting—including the Con stitution itself, whioh they trample under foot, and nearly all those righteous constructions ot it which frown upon their oonduct like a fall-armed battery—come from Southern statesmen. Tho' great song of tho Star Spangled Bannor itself is the production of a Southern patriot ohly lately gathered to his fathers—whose descendants still live in Maryland, and whoso name Is cherished among the swoetest rccolleotions of the people of that State. Mr. Coloook,Mr. McGrath, Mr. Bon- Inm, and others in tho Palmotto State, havo un dertaken a large contract They may bo able to batter down tho entiro fabric of freedom and crush out of tho common mind tho Revolutionary past, to substitute hate for affeotion in regard to those who formed the Union, and to establish friendly and profitable intercourse with foreign lungs and po tentates, but when they attempt to illustrate these holy pastimes by an outroge upon the flag of our country, thoy’may, and, wo think, will find that their labors will bo covered with failure and con tempt. Justiso Wayne, as I long ago predicted he would, has oomo out boldly against tho Disunionists. Bo is an old Jackson Georgian, and has always been a firm opponent ef tho Calhoun nnllifiers. Justice Wayne, like Chief Justioo Taney, knows well that the EucoeEsof the Southern faotionists would de stroy tho Supremo Court of tho United States, of Which the latter is so distinguished an ornament. How well (in view of his public denunciation of Mr. Cobb and his follow-dißunionists,) does the following high compllmont of lion Edward Everett in 1851 to that great tribunal, and its certain fate in tbe event of the overthrow of tho Union, apply to the present oondltion of things. Icopy: - “Then, gentlemen, as to tho Supremo Court of the United etfttes. X do not know what others may think on the subjeot, but for myself, sir, (addressed to Chancellor Walworth who sat by Mr. Everett's side,) I will say, that if all tho labors, tho sacri fices, and the waste of treasure and blood from the first landing at Jamestown or Plymouth were to give us nothing elao bat tho Supreme Court of tho Unitod States, this revered tribunal for the settle ment of International disputes, (for such it may be called.) I should say the sacrifice was well made. I havo trodden with emotion tho threshold of Westminster Ball, and of tho Palace of Justioo in France. I thought with respeot of a long Hoe of illustrious ohonoellors and Judges, surrounded with the insignia of office, clothed in soarlot and ermine, Who within these anoient halls have, without fear or favor, administered justice between powerful liti gants. And it ie with dooper emotion« of morenoo, it is with something like awe, that I have entered tho Supreme Court at Werhington. Not that I have there beard strains of forenslo eloquence rarely oqualled, never surpassed, from the Wirlß, the Pinokneys, ond the wobsters; but because I have seen there a bright display of tho perfection of the moral sublime in human affairs. I have witnessed how, from the low, dark bench, destitute of the cmbloma of power, from the lips of the grave arifi venerable magistrate, to whom years and gray hairs could add no new titles to respeot, (I need write no name under that portrait,) the voioe of justice and equity has gone forth to the most pow erful States of tho Union, administering tbe law betwoen oitiaens of independent States, settling dangerous controversies; adjusting disputed bound aries, annnling unconstitutional laws, reversing erroneous decisions, and, with a few mild Words o judioial wisdom, disposing of questions a hundred fold more important than those which, within tbe past year, from the plains of Holstein, have shaken the pillars of continental Europe, and all but brought a million of men into deadly oonfllct with ecoh othor. When the Union is broken, whan the States aro separated, what is to become of your Supreme Court? How, then, aro you to settle great and diffi cult questions? Atd plenty of them, teliovo hie, you will havo. Think of these mighty rivors rnu-" ning across the country in every direction, and the controversies whioh will present themselves about their navigation. Is there to be any way of settling them ? Again : hostile tariff'd, designed to under mine tho revenue and commerce of neighboring States, will infallibly be enacted, and then this very question whioh now agitates the Union.

The fifth unnual course of lectures, given under the auspices of tbo Harrison Literary Institute, was inaugurated at National Hall, Market street, above Twelfth, last evening, in a lecture by George D. Prentice, Esq., the accomplished editor of tho liOulevUle on “ Politics and Politicians cf tho United States. Seldom has a lecturer been greeted with so flattering an audienoo, in numbers, respcotabiUty, and intelligence, as was assembled 'to hear this able writer and distinguished wit leßt evening. Beforo the leotare oommenood, there were curiosity and expectation piotured upon tbo faces of the audience, which, as the sequel proved, were destined to be gratified, for no man was over ap .plauded more ronndly, or with a finer discrimina tion, than was Mr. Prentiee, as he proceeded with tho delivery of bis lecture. He appeared upon the platform at 8 o’olock, accompanied by the members of the “ Harrison” and a few of his prominent Philadelphia friende. The lecturer was introduced in a few appropriate remarks by Mr. John R. Young, President of tho “ Institute, *’ in whioh the latter, evidently pleased with the financial eucocss of their laudable enter prise, thanked tbe audieqpe, and gave them to un derstand that they had a few similar entertainments in reserve, in whioh they (tho audience) would bo welcome to participate. The npplouso which tho Icoturer’e appearanoe at tho stand elicited Was protracted and enthusiastic. When quiet was restored, Mr. Prentice oom menood, having neither note nor .manuscript, and for about an hour and a garter enohained tho audionoe with Mb eloquence. Hißlangu&ge, though strong, and at times bitter, was withal constructed with rare grace, and many parts of his lecture wero more a satirical poem in blank verso than an extempore exposition of a very prosy eubjeet—the corruptness and incapacity of our publio men. (&?,noticeable feature in tbe lecture was, that while at short intervals the house was convulsed with laughter, there was notin a single instance the least approximation to a emile upon tho speaker’s own faoe. If those who ley the foundations of a oommon woalth, said the looturer in opening, were entitled to praise, surely the building of tho superstructure and its subsequent preservation was a matter of equally high eonsiderotion. States were jounded but onoe ; tboy wero governed always: £0 that if the statesman was striot in his fidelity to duty, tbe speaker did not know bnt that be was entitled to ■even higher consideration than he who laid the foundation of a State. It was tho province of states mon tolnfds&new life and vigor into thefundamen tal laws which the founders of government had but conceived. «The mission of the latter was to bring forth; the former reared and perfeoted. StaU'inaHng was political parturition; states manship was the art of guarding a State when formed. Holding these views of the vcoation of statesmen—whioh ho admitted had fallen some what into disrepute —he hoped to treat his subjeot calmly, though be confessed that to do so under all the circuroßtancea required muoh philosophical solftporaesßion. Tho following requisites of a true statesman were here stated ae a kind of test for the discourse: Patriotism, integrity, moral ooursge, firmness of soul, pcrsnneivencee, ccmprehensive and enlight ened sagacity, candor, fertility of resource, judg ment, and a thorough knowledge of politics m its widest senso. Other qualities might bo useful; these wero essential. In this, as in all things else, harmony was tho highest element of perfec tion. Lot us sec, said ho, how theso qualities are mingled in our current statennunship, if, indeed, the? mingle in it at all. PatnotismvtOQ the first essential treated. This, he held, was the mainspring of all statesmanship that rr.3 Worthy of the name. Yet be must con- that this element cut but a sorry figure iu the statesmen of our country to-day. They loved office better than they did country. Place, rather than tbe good of their oountry, was their aim, and so true was this that to deny it would be perftotly ridiculous Self-interest, in its falsest and narrowest shape, was the loadstone of their aotiou. The art of getting, and retaining office was their view of ftatesmanshlp; and taking this view', it was but fair to say that tho statesmen of the present day wero certainly aa devoted as could be deslrod. jLaughter.J Bow havo we fallen!, he exclaimed, with muoh pathos. “ Tho pleasures of government,” in the language of Voltaire, “ must certainly bo exquisite, if wo may jadge from the number and scramble of those who are eager to take part in it ” Tho conduct of our Occasional. public hzlers bow, tfltb soHtbely nh exception, .did but s?t tbo public good at defiance, it had hap pened inmost countries that, where patriotism had expired, it bad at least been te some extent coon terfeited; but publio men had actually sunk so low ia this country, that they did not even assume the ii rihe thpy have Never had this virtue been reduced t 6 somein an eitSfi as here. Hy pocrisy, it* was said, was .the tribute which vice paid to virtue ; but here we had ep deteriorated,* that even-this poor tributo was denied the virtue Nor was this the worst. We ’Ead a’scbool ei' tfl&soft In our midst. We bad, alas! too many who mado no soorot of their hatred to Iholr. country. Not. satisfied with themselves denounoiog the Union, thoy de nounced everyb dy that did not join thorn In thoir unholy zeal. Thoy exhibited an utter ro pugnanco to everything that was national. Bir James Mclntosh, with alt his antipathy to musio, had onco been induced to attend an Italian opera, froiu tyhich he bsfi retired so horrified, that Rich ard Sharp subsequently suggested, as a question for public debate, What was the effect of music upon the eonsorium of Sir James Molntoeh ? The question might with as much propriety be asked, said tho speaker, What of lat© years has been the effect of tho uttoranoo of patriotic sentiments In our national halls of legislation, either upon the spleen of tho Disunionlsta of the South, or on tho liver of fanatical Northern Abolitionists? (Laughter.] Tho next consideration to which he invited at* ttntion was the integrity of our statesmen; and ho would ask, if our statesmen are not patrlotio, they honest ? This, he admitted, was a very nice question! [Prolonged laughter j Tho extent to whioh our statesmen truokled to popular preju dices was, he said, positively alarming. Their sycophancy was of tho hardiest description. Tho adulation of the rabbio was better to them far, than tio quiet approval of an unoffended consolenoe Thelf idea was, that nothing that excites the applauso of the people could be amiss. Hy pocrisy, Burke had once said, made the most Oublimo Bp’eouiatlona, for it flefrot attempted to go beyond speculation, and It could t&orefore afford to have it magnificent. So, said ho, our publio men wore eocustomed to flatter tho people, for the purpose of victimising them afterwards. However tightly offfotal Instructions' and oaths might fit bur publio men when they left their constituents for the seat of government, they were sure to be seen in hose habits beforo they were long there [laughter.] They were year, aftor year squan dering the revenue and territory ef the nation, and their unmitigated lavishness would probably soon leave them in the situation of Alox&nder when ho bad no ihofo riorids to conquer. Our legislators were designated as sharpers 6h mvery magnificent scale, it was unquestionably true* that many of them went to Congress and made more money by speculation and peculation, than did many of our most successful merchant princes, and not a few of them went there avowedly for that purpose ! Iftliej did not leave home with the view of stealing, they seldom cfoss&d the Susque hanna, or tho Potoriao, Wore the; ohanged their mind* [Loud laughter} They had a hundred ways of stealiog mtj the treasury, and a thousand ways of stealing out oj zf/when they get there. This might be strange, but it was not Inexplicable. Their habitual negleot of the publio business was another flagrant inStanoe of the dishonesty of our publio men. Thus the greator part of their session was squandered In organizing and dovising con spiracies against tho publio treasury. All this was rot only wrong, but grossly immoral. The ploa of want of time to attend' to tholr duties waa tho most consummate mo'okery j and it was a burning dl£§ grooe to those who tffade it. If tho; could not find time to do,the duties of legislation they had no right to be legislators, and they ought therefore die or resign. | Laughter.] Having now discussed, he feared, at uaduo length these two eesentlai qualities of statesman* ibip, patriotism and integrity, ho deemed it un necessary to dwell particularly upon any other qualities named in hla opening, and he would there fore touch them rapidly. Our public mon were, if anything, more deficient in moral courage than in patriotism and honesty. There was little or no manliness in the councils of the country. Inconstancy of purposo was the bane of our statesmen. If there was no other screw loose, this was aloue satfioiont to sabjeot them to shaiao in tho eyes of the world. In the matter of eloquence he admitted that our statesmen were great. Yet, this eloquonoo, in the main, lacked oenvinoing power, copiously brilliant as it was. The eloquenoe of our statesmen was Cicero clan, rather than Demosthenlan. Thus, how ever brilliant they were aa speakers, they were Wofully defioiont in the art of persuasiveness and he believed there was moro power in the mute integrity of an honest man in Con gress than in all its eloquenoe. There were comparatively few of our statesmen who under stood that tholr profession was a soionco as well as an art. But few of them had any adequate knowledge of tho laws of nations, or diplomacy. Compared with tho statosmen of any other first rato nation, ours wero tho merest tyros; the most utter ignoramuses, and succeeded, when they suc ceed at all, like tho quaok praotitioner of modi cine, by tho charity of nature! # ln short, our so* oalled statesmanship was political charlatanism and humbuggery. And If tho Amerioan people ever expected to improve upon this state of things, they must educate a generation of statesmen. Let thorn do this, and all would be well; and do it they must, or perish as a cation. ‘pat be was done. He had told some plain, per haps bitter tratbs; but he had been honest. It might be more pleasing to assure his audience that all waa moving smoothly and gloriously on; but if he did', be should be guilty of treason to his own soul and .to them We were onoompassed by the most threatening dangers Already the gangrene was making its Bppearanoe upon our poUUoal ear oass, and unless there was interposition on tho part of God or the people, the end must bo speedy and disastrous. On the other hand, however, if we were but truo to ourselves, this oountry would be come an oasis in the desert of nations, ana a refuge for all who would escape from tho evils or anarchy and despotism.

In the share market the prin cipal feature was a further severe fall in the stock of the two principal Amerio&n railway com panies. In the discount market the supply of mo ney continues ample, but rather higher rates were demanded to*day m.antioip&tion of a movement at the bank to*morrow. Good short bills were taken at 32 a 4 per oent. The applications at the bank were heavy, and betokened & general impression that the rates will be raised to morrow. Daring the last few days the banks have raised the terms for advances upon long bills, front) 4 to 4} a 5 per cent. The Times' oily artiole says the demand for discount at the Bank was extremely heavy yester day. In expectation of fill upward, movement. Tue rate to-day has in some degree diminished. There is no real commercial pressure, and the ma jority of the applications must be regarded simply aa a precaution. It is cot improbable, therefore that an immediate advanoe may still be deemer unnecessary, especially aa no farther large with dawals of gold are likely, just at present, to be made from the Bank on French acoount. Mode rate remittances will continue to go to Spain, but these and anything casually required for Paris, will, it is thought, bo nearly all supplied by arri vals from Australia and Panama. At the same time, it is still a peouliar feature of the period that our existing rate of discount is considerably higher than the rate on the continent. The stock of bul lion is fully equal to the average of *67, when the rate was 3 per oent. There is no rigid precedent ior an increase, and the matter merely stands at a point so nicely balanced that no fault can be found whichever course may be adopted. Berks, Wednesday.—To-day. M.
