reconsideration of the rev ■ . ENUR BILL. V Tuesday, May 4, 1841. , Mr. IIOLEMANand Mr. GAMBLE moved to reconsider the vote by which the revenue bill which had been vetoed by the Governor hud been rejected. Mr. HOLEMAN said that he had con tended against this bill in all its different stages, and had opposed it with all the abil ity he possessed, in the hope of defeating it or at least of obtaining some,compromise on which gentlemen could meet on common gdulid., Hc was now however afaciut to vote for it, not because he was pleased with it, not because it met his views,' and not be cause he believed that it was the best bill which could be obtained, but because it was th ewity bill which they could get,. The time for ndjduihuVcnt was now drawing rap idly to a close, and he saw that there was >llO opportunity of getting any other bill; and he plainly saw that ruin and distress must follow, it they separated and left this place without providing some means by which the government was to be curried on. The whole operations of government must cease if we do not provide some means for sustain ing, however objectionable that means might be. He was aware that his constituents were opposed to many of (he provisions of this bill, and would perhaps not approve of bis voting for it under apy other/circumstan ces, but he did believe that in our present situation and when it was known that, no n- tlier measure ol J relief could be. obtained, that they would, not censure him for the vote which he. was now about to cast. If so he was prepared to meet the worst; and it would hereafter be a consolation to know, that he had given this vote from pure motives, and to believe that in doing so he hud dune the country some little service. Mr. WRIGHT said—Mr. Speaker, I shall vote fur this bill. Painful as it may be, and strange as it may seem, lam compelled from to adopt this course, although every part and parcel of it relating to the Banks and Currency I condemn—Nay sir, I despise it. And during the whole of this session on every vote I have given, my name will be found recorded on the Journals of the H(iU§e'against it—ami this has been of ..ten. T ’’SppOst’dtS if a{jj3r pemps"may~censure my ■vote at this time. But, this is the close "of the session. The last day of-it, and before six hours the house will- have adjourned.— Are we to return home sir witjiout making any provisions for the paymetjt of our do mestic creditors? A Treasury empty—and loans_ falling due in June and August .with out one cent to pay them? Are the soldiers who are the subjects of the State’s bounty— and who fouglit-the battles of freedom, to be turned off penny less? The door of relief to be shut.upun the Asylums-of (hedeaf, dumb and the blind? The inmates of the House of Refuge to be unprovided for? These sir,-arc- important-questions—and it becomes'a matter of serious importance to consider whether we shall accept from the hands of the.majority such legislation as we can get —or have none at all. 1 have resist ed in my place, the obnoxious and despica ble features of this bill, from time to time, in the vain hope of getting something that might properly become a law. It cannot be done—and even-now sir, I would disdain to vote for this bill was not the whole northern part of the state dependent on the appropri ations contained in it. Five hundred and thirteen thousand dollars of its appropria tion is due to the North Branch canal.— From time to time we have been fold by the majority party of this House—that this mo ney should not be raised in any other shape than provided for in this bill. And that too in sneering language. To vote for this bill and pay those honest creditors I sacrifice the principles dear to myself and dear to my parly. To refuse my assent—inevitable ruin will follow to them. Many of them sir, have been about these halls for months begging fur that which they had a right to 'demand. Imploring legislation—and asking for a small portion of what was due to save their property from the hands of the officers of the law—and this day sir, on my foad to the Capitol, one of them turned from me with tears —and begging that something might be done for his relief. Others sir, since the meeting of this renowned legisla ture have been compelled to apply for the benefit of the insolvSbt laws. It is sir. Tor the relief of those men that I am compelled to step beyond what I regard, the path of duty. Satisfied that there is no way left but to swallow this bill with all its deformi ties—and receive as a reward, perhaps, no small share of public odium. It is a duty I owe these, my suffering constituents, to ren der them a partial compensation for lone de 'toywfjostiW.'" ~ • r ■— ..But sir, this is not all, every cent for the• support of the government is unappropria ted—and if this bill does not’pass—the State will be entirely bankrupt. ■ 1 have said time and time again, I could under no circum stances consent to the issue of small miles nor a further bank suspension—anti to vote for it now is- the deepest-humiliation,- and nothing but a feeling of sensibility for the suffering creditors of the Commonw'eallh could-induce me for a moment to think of it,’ 'And in voting for the bill; I am voting against the dictates of my own conscience— and for that which I believe to be wrong in principle, and is repugnant to my feelings. The necessity of the case is my only pica. - Hare sir, we have it all together. Banks and currency—appropriations and suspen sions. It ia reserved for the wisdom of modern legislation, to force on the people the most loathsome measures with' the ne cessary- matters for the affairs of the govern ment. This Dill or nothing. Were it my own case I would never consent to palm off on the country such law; but for the benefit ■of others it may be my.duty to do it. . Nothing from the minority of the house can meet with 1 favor. No measures origin ating with thejn cap. become a law. A poor contractor for work [lone upon your canals and rail roads cannot be-paid until he be come literally .bankrupt and then the bill grahting reliermust confer some new privi ly HP. on a bank. It is really a fearful cri sis;' The features of this bill relating to the banks I shall hot now discuss;: ’ I.havesir, oh litis,' fiber: declared' agbinst them, and pDintedflutthebadconsequencesthatmust flow.frprn_ them.: I am now. sensible, the countiry'will-feel for years the bad effects of itt but sir, that the government may be.car- Vied on—that the water may not be let out of your canal*—and the locomotives remo ved from your rail roads —and your foreign and domestic creditors go unpaid—l feel it n duty to vote for the bill bad as it is, and trust that the people of Pennsylvania will correct these evils before another year shall pass round. There is a clause sir, in the bill which makes the whole the legitimate object of future legislation. The evils for a I year can be endured,“and let us trust and ..hope for.a better state of things. The failure on the part of the state to pay a half a million pf dollars and upwards, due -to the-cilizcns of Luzerne and. Bradford, will cause unparalleled distress. Hundreds of worthy and industrious citizens will be reduced to absolute beggary and want. Men sir, who'have involved all their property on the faith and credit of (he state, but yester day-in affluent circumstances willbc penny less to-morrow. The whole north will feel the simek. It is; sir, for the relief of these men I vote, not because.l,?an give the bill my sanction, and these creditors paid, and the necessary provisions for carrying on the government, and I would most cheerfully vote for the instantaneous repeal of the bill. It is not for the benefit of the bank^ —(heir small notes, irredeemable in specie, and their suspensions; but to save thousands from ru in. My motive is a good one, and duty re quires me to take some'obnoxious provisions of the bill, to secure what there is in it of importance'. But sir, were they separate— were the bank privileges in a separate bill, I would suiter any privrrtmtrbcforo-T-would- - ever give my assent to it. The Executive has given the bill his veto, to every portion of that message l yield myassehtand sanction. The last day of the session come and noth ing offered in the place'of it.

This has been jthe rule of action of the party in power in this legislative body. Obstacle af ter obstable tlirowq in the way of the Exec utive-bills that he could hot approve and be a man of consistency. Every embarrass ment thrown in bis way to achieve a bank victory, or ruin and desolation to the coun try. Sir, it will be the most painful, act in my whole life to record my name in favor. bill. . It is to fife;; r stniiV ‘'thaitr.the ■ fair fjime of my native commonwealth may not by' possibility become a theme and subject of reproach, and that her honest creditors may’not Knock in vain at’ the door of (ter treasury, that the war worn veteran may not in his old age feel the gripe of poverty, because his poor pittance cannot be allowed him unless connected with some banking privilege. These sir, are -my trea sons for voting lor the bill, and I again say I despise its principal feature, as much as I dp the manner in which it has been forced npbn us. It is this or nothing, and bad as It may be, and-as objectionable as it is, we -are cumpelled to receive.it.as..the, best boon from our whig rulers. Let the people in . their sovereignty correct the abuse at the earliest possible period. Sir, I have nothing more to say. , Mr. GAMBLE, said he had seconded the motion to reconsider and he .had made up his mind to record his vote in favor of this bill. He did so with more reluctance, with more heartfelt regret, than he ever done any public act in his life; but he was impelled to make the sacrifice great as it was, from an imperious anti overwhelming sense of duly. Sir, the principles of the two great political parties of this commonwealth have been re presented upon this floor with zeal and abil ity. For a period of four months, they had been in session laboring indcfittigably to re concile differences of opinion honestly en tertained, he was bound to believe, and to, meet,upon some principle of compromise, which' would afford relief to a suffering com munity, and sustain untarnished (he faith and fame of this great state. Sir, sa'.d Mr. G.'iu my ardent desire to see this accom plished I felt, as the sequel has proved, too sanguine of the result. It is now'too late to indulge in crimination, but I must say that the party in the majority in this house has not acted with (hat liberality, and gen erous compromising disposition, that the de mocratic party merited, and had a right to expect at their hands. Sir, although we are in the minority in- these halls, the.great par ty weVepresenLare entitled to (he.respect of the majority here. The principles cher ished and maintained by bur public men since the organization of our government, have met the approbation of a majority of the people of this commonwealth; and com manded (he admiration of (he citizens of (he United States. I am willing to. accord to gentlemen opposed to (hose principles and enttGaining different opinions of policy, an equal ariiountbrpatribtism and lovepf coun try, claimed for myself and the party with which I have the honor of being united, but I must solemnly protest against the arbitra ry course they have adopted'and pursued with unyielding pertinacity, regardless of consequences, throughout this session. Sir, what have they yielded, what sacrifice of cherished doctrines ImveThcy made;’ to ac -complish what all profess so ardently to de sire? None! On the other hand, what have we not been asked to yield, what have we been-required to submit to, or go back to opr constituents, (he harbengers of- state bankruptcy and general ruin. ; We came here opposed to the issue of small notes— the party we represent twelve years ago as sumed'a position hostile to such a circulat ing medium and abolishes it, believing'that it would increase the circulation of-a sub stantial metalic currency—and this too sir, when these notes were .redeemable _ at the: pleasure of the holder iri gold or silver.— Now,“We are asked to submit to the issue of such a currency—redeemable only in State stock, now thirty per.cent below pad. We came here hostile, to suspensions bf specie payments by the banks, and many of us in structed -tococrce the banks into an obser vance.of thelaws, and an unlimited redemp tion of their liabilities. Now we are requi red to submit toanother suspension, worse and more uncertain in its duration than its predecessors; Tins' is the expedient, the miserable expedient we arc forced to adopt —dr'.suffer'consequences-fearful to contem plate. .. What Pennsylvanian can contem plate without shame and.-the-' most humilia ting regret, the dishonor, the abiding dis grace that must tarnish the character ahd’ credit of our beloved commonwealth at.hqme and abroad by failure, to:raect her plighted faith.. Anil yet this is the consequence, certain ami unavoidable! And this bill, the only alternative, that the njajority here are, willing to yield us. Sir I was.slow to be lieve, that this course would be - persisted in, although for weeks threatened. I still fondly cherished the hope that a compromise might and would be effected—those hopes are no,\v blasted, we are within a few hours of final'Separation. My course is adopicil. A little band of us have determined to throw ourselves irt the breach; and if need be, sa crifice ourselves,to save the Commonwealth and avert general ruin and distress. I am about to cast the first vote iti my life con trhry'td'the principles'and policy of the de mocratic party, and I yield lit this late hour, only under the most imperious sense of du ty* 1 believe sir, my constituents will ap prove of my course—they will see by my votes that I have opposed this bill from its first introduction, in-every "Stage of its" pro gress through this House, and until cyery prospect of effecting anything else is totally blasted. We have an earnest of the anxie ty that is felt throughout this Commonwealth by the crowded and excited assemblage in this Hall. Your domestic creditors sir, have been begging for what they had a right Id demand, the wages,for their, toil and la bor iti the service of the Commonwealth, whilst this House has been coolly discussing political tenets and party policy, they have been,suffering and some of them sacrificed, for. want of that relief, the payment of their claims upon the state would have afforded. The ordinary expenses of the Government. are unprovided ior, your canals and rail • roads arc left to go to destruction, your common schools are'left to languish, your humane institutions, are denied theirft'fci'us tomed aid, and the old soldier is told that Pennsylvania is unable to pay to him his pension. . Sir, rather than encounter these fearful consequences 1 will vote lor this expedient miserable anil objcctinnablxsras .it is, trusting to the virtue anti intelligence of my constit uents to justify my course. Mr, G. saiil he would not trespass longer upon the limited time of the hobsc. Ho thought it tide to himself to say this much in explanation of Ids vote, and to show that his opinions of the hill itself had undergone no change, since,he had recorded his re peated votes againsj f°r. the'reasons, jto.h«d : glvch : it as.then.rtly hlternatiye toxlisgracc aiitl ru in—the choice of two great evils.

The Steamer President not arrived out HIGHLY IMPORTANT PROM ClllNA. The steamer Britannia arrived at Boston, at 2 o’clock, on Thursday morning. She arrived at Halifax on Tuesday morning, and made her passage in thirty-eight hours to Boston. ■ She left Liverpool,on the 28th, and has made the passage in about fifteen,days and a half. Sliccxperiencod very rough weath er during nearly the whole passage. The following summary of the news brought by her, we take from extras Of the Boston papers, received yesterday afternoon through the polite attention of Har'nden’s Express Line: • The steamship President had not arrived at Liverpool on the 20th ult. All hopes of her arrival were at an end, and we learn that insurance could not be effected under 80 per e'ent. The London papers of Oie l”th stale that insurances were done upon the President at Lloyd’s at fifty guineas per cent. The un der writers, at Liverpool on Friday refused to do business on her at a premium of eigh ty per cent.’ Despair is beginning to lake possession of the public mind respecting her, and there is too much reason to apprehend that- the worst-fears will ■be jealized. r We hope,, however, that site will yet be heard of as having gone into Bermuda. The President had not been heard of at Fayal bn the 28th of March; atTcrccira, on the 271 h of March; or at St. Michael’s on the ,2dof April. "• The affairs with tlie-Chiheso Governments, the "ministerial papers say, are adjusted.— The British squadron had reduced two of their forts, and were carrying on hostilities with great activity when the Chinese autho rities proposed a cessation.. The tea market had been" Very much depressed, and the London merchants had remonstrated - to Lord Palmerston against the treaty of Ad miral Elliot. Cotton remained about the same. Flour dull. The money market was variable; Stocks had rather improved. ■ (Prom the London Morning Chronicle.') Wc received last'night- an; extraordinary express from Paris of Wednesday evening, .bringingparMnrseillca'correspondent’s sum mary of the news brought by the India Mail. Our dates'are from Chusan to tlie'aoth Dec., from Macao to the 27th pf January, from Singapore to the 25 th of January, from Calcutta to the 18th of Feb., from Madras to the 20th of Feb., fro'in Scinde to thp 22d op Feb., from Bombay to the Ist of March, and from Alexandria to the 25th of March. ' -In consequence of- the insincerity and tardiness displayed by the ImpeVial Commis sioner,:an atthck:\vas made on the morning of the 6th of January on the outposts of the Bogue forts. In" two hours the fort was in. possession of the English, with a loss of on-; ly three killed and 23 wounded; that of- the- Chihese is estimated qt from 500 to 700. were’.killed in the attcihpt to escape by-jumping: down from their 5 embrasures, a depth of 20 feet, to the,rocks below; i. The ships and crews escaped unhurt, although the fort mounted 35-guns. At the same.Jime the Fort of Tycocktow was attacked by another squadron. A heavy fire was opened on the fort'and promptly re turned, but the Chinese guns were speedily disabled and- a party of seamen landed to seize the fort.. The Chinese made inspirit ed -resistance, but were soon overpowered and the. fort captured. The first lieutenant of Samarang was wounded in the assault. ■ - The steam vessels then attacked the fleet ofjunks lying in Anson’s Bay, but owing to the shallowness of the water, only the Neme sis could approach them, towing 13 armed boats- from her .Majesty’s ships., Her—first rocket set fire to the powder magazine of one junk, 18 others were blown up by their own. crews, and the, rest" escaped into'the inner waters. Next morning her Majesty’s ship Blenheim began to’ throw shells into the bat teries at-Wantong, amLwas prepariiig.lo'at (ack the chief fort of Anunghoy, when the Chinese Commander in Chief made a com munication to Capt. Elliott, who thereupon desisted from further hostilities. On the 27th of January, a circular was addressed by the British Plenipotentiary to her Majes ty’s subjects in Chinn, announcing that pre liminary arrangements between the Imperi al Commissioner and himself had been made to the following effect: “1. The cession of the Island and harbour of Hong Kong to the British Crown. All just charges and duties to the empire upon the commerce carried on there, to be paid as if the trade were conducted at Whampom. —"3~Airi7Tdenmity to-thc-British Govern ment of 6,000,000 dollars, 1,000,000 dollars payable at once and the remainder'in equal annual instalments, ending in 18d6. “2 ; Direct official intercourse between the countries upon an equal footing. ■ “4. The trade of the port of Canton to be opened within ten days after the Chinese New Year, and to be earned on at W.ham .pom till further arrangementsare-practica ble at tlie new settlement. Details remain matter of negotiation.” “Hong Kong was to bo garrisoned by the 18th Royal Irish, and thediarbour protected by two 18gun vessels.

' As will be supposed, the terms of arrange ment agreed upon by Captain EllioCand the imperial commissioner have been made the subject already of a-great ileal of discussioh. The prevailing feeling is decidedly that of dissatisfaction, but this may be in some de- gree attributable tut I lei lis I Ikesdge ne ra 11 yj entertained of Captain Elliot., At lire pre sent time I have no space to notice the ar guments adduced am the subject. On the night of the 22d of January, His Excellency Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer arrived in the Roads,.accompanied.by seve ral ships of war and steamers. The Eng lish colors were removed from, and Chinese planted in their stead, on Chuenpee. On Thursday last the ships of war have we learn all left the Boguc, and part of them will pro ceed to Hung Kong immediately to take pos session of that island in the name of Her Majesty. , ROBBERY OF BANKS IN NEW OR, LEANS. AVc copy below accounts of the robberies of several banks in New Orleans by Clerks employed in them. From the New Orleans Crescent City. “The recent .appalling overdrafts at the Stale Bank have excited all investigation at the'Bank of Louisiana; by which it is found that about $BO,OOO, some say $lOO,OOO, are found missing. The search was.tint indu ced by the Cashier, Mr. Levcrich, when it' \vns”found that M r - Collson,-who is Said to have, been overdrawn $20,000 at the State’ Bank, was the Discount Clerk at the Bank of Louisiana; We are not able to sayjf any discrepancy occurs in Mr. C’s books, but it is certain ‘that he and the receiving teller of the Bank of Louisiana have absconded. ■ 'Che latter has pocketed, it is stated, about $BO,- 000, received in two deposites on Friday & Saturday last. One gentleman on Friday deposited $30,000,.and on Saturday a well known firm here deposited 850,000, neither of which sums appear on the “scratclier” of, the receiving feller, and which alone marks his responsibility for the day. These sums, as a matter of course, were entered in the bank-books of the two depositors, but ap peared onlydirtho pocket of thp teller, whose name we learn is Daunois. Hopes are en tertained of their being taken, but we do not Jcarn-on'wliat grounds. The statement in regard to the State Bank is,.that the book ; keeper appeared, and an examination, having been instituted into his account, it was found to be overdrawn fully eighty thousand dollars. GEN. JACKSON AND THE BIDDLE BANK. The time has come when Europe-and America will do justice foGen. Jackson in relation to the Bank of the United States-.-' when his sagacity, his courage, his incorrup tibility, in relation to that insthulion, and his saving the public money in it—.will be the theme of universal of unbound ed national gratitude/ He eight.years ago, took the ground that the institution was cor rupt and insolvent; and, acting upon that be lief,-he interposed his great measures—the veto—thfe'removal of the deposites-7-the spe cie circular—the law against the circulation of the old nbtcs—-the sale-of the U-. States stock in the institution. These measures have saved the United Stales stock,,and got for it $llB on the share, which is now sell ing for $l5 a share; they saved thedepnsites, amounting to ninny millions; they stopped the receipt of the notes at the land offices and the customs; and saved millions mure; they stopped the issue of the. old dead notes, ■and saved; millions again aboyc all, , they stopped the existence of the Bank, and therd-': by put ah end to the dominion of the most corrupt and corrupting institution which the world crer.behild—i*. fbuntainbf.corruption ' which spared nothing public nor private, a rut poured its bribes into the hands of every functionary that would lake them. If it had; not been for Jackson, that yast colossusmf crime and fountain ’of corruption would no\y bo in full life, sustaining itself on the credit and resources of the United States—taxing the people to hit its vaults—and emptying its vaults to,enrich its favorites and to sub sidize members of Congress, arid to pension as mapy as were necessary to sustain it. For these 'acts, which saved the country, the Bank had the patriot President con demned by a Senate, many of whom were its debtors, attorneys and retainers; the people expuftged that infamous.sentence, and now, it is to be revived by expunging the expung/ ing resolution. More: the very men who devoured that Bank, Are demanding a new 'one! The same men, and the same party, after eviscerating a thirty-five million-Bank, demand another of .fifty or one hundred mil lions; arid-these men, by a freak of fortune,'' arc now in the ascendant in American poli tics. Leaving out Mr. Tyler, the President, and the Biddle Bank men are now the mas ters of-the Government, dispensing the fa vors and shaping the legislation, to reward, enrich, and establish in power the corrupt ing and corrupted, which plundcred.lhe late Bank, and sent, its bribes into the hands of every public man that would take them. - Old Dominion . REMOVALS FROM OFFICE, From (lie following, whjcli we clip from Hie article in announcing tlte death of the President, it appears that Oen. Harrison is not to be hold responsible for many of the ruthless reniyvals from office that have been made: “President Harrison had recently been involved in a continual whirl of agitation..— His participation in the various triumphial. processions, fetes, balls, etc, with which he was every - where greeted, and which, were, continued until closed by those which - fol lowed the inauguration—the eager and con stant, press made upon him since, by the multitude who have pursued him for office, and the excitement growing out of the arbi trament of discordant claims was inore than one, truly represented by bis'physicians as suffering undfir age and debility, could long .hear. ■ The 'bodSlvlabor-.he endured, apart than’he had strength to support. Ffirli time, .sustained.by ..the exhilaration of. the anima ting events he'passed through, his constitu tion bore up beyond expectation. But rest lessness, anxiety, and fever followed; and as it seems,. from,the report of his physicians, inflammation aiid derangement was found to (have affected all his vital organs. 1 “From fcasual information ijjiich we have had from time to time, it seems that-tuo lit j tie consideration was felt by bis political | friends for his condition. We understand ’ that before he could' reach the breakfast table jiu the morping, he was frequently waylaid j in,the,hall, am) persecuted for office, .that - hi.s rpoms were generally thronged, by llui" time-he-ruse from the table, ami that on.some occasions, wherr under the necessity of hold ing communication with his Secretaries, Ije was obliged to make his escape the back way. “Jt is just to General Harrison to say, that, notwithstanding this press upon him by men who claimed to have given him power," he resisted the ruthless proscription which had been carried on in his name. Several we know he saved who had been marked for sacrifice. Others were removed to whom he hiid given assurances that they should be spared, and who were afterwards informed by him that he did not know that they were dismissed. And can any hold him respoit sihle for the long list of worthy men and ex cellent officers who were struck from the roll during the week in which he himself lay -upon the bed of death-? During that week many clerks were dismissed from the De partments, and expressly told that it was_ exclusively on political grounds. Among them was Mr. Gouge of the Treasury, the eminent author uf* the work on banking, who was recommended to Id 4 station by his extensive information .-and high character as a-ynaivnot as-a partizan/for.he.never was one. This hecatomb of- victims,-who were struck down during Gen. Harrison’s illness, many of whose'families are now turned out inn sort uf orphanage on the world, must have been made in the spirit of heathen times, when sacrifices of unfortunate prisoners by custom’ attended the fall of tin illustrious chief. A tlecc fori hppearances ought to hiive suspended this distressing pro cess of removals while the Chief Magistrate,, who alone could authorize it, was too ill, to attend to .any of his duties.” ~ Estate of Frances Hume, deceased.
