Tho revenues of the nation arc now collected and disbursed in gold and. silver, and without producing the least embarrassment to the commercial community, which was so common so occurrence when tlld public money was deposited in Hie banks and made the basis of an increased cir culating paper currency. The amount received in spccio.from the Ist January 18*7, to the Ist Decem ber 1847, being a period of eleven months, is 848,- C67,881i 18—arid the amount of disbursements In specie during the same period is 818,226,510 31— showing on aggregate of receipts and disbursements in specie during that period of $90,894,402 49., These arc groat results under the new system. '■ Tho amount of foreign coin or bullion coined this year at our mints, estimating December the same os November, would be 823,844.001 92, showing that the amount received this year under the happy work ings of the Constitutional Treasury, is about one liilfi of tho aggregate coined in the fifty-five years from the first coinage in 1793 to tho close of the present year—the whole amount of the coinage under the old system of receiving and disbursing tho mon ks for tliatlong period of liino having been but 8143,. 538,370 04. _ "_ ; ' .

During the same month of tucosl, was deposited (see table G G.) tho sum of K 795 720 92 with the Assistant Treasurer of that ■iiy. and transferred from or disbursed at that oOico. Hie receipts and disbursements of the Government m specie, during the last eleven months have amoun ted together to the sum 07*00.894,102 49. and not a dollar has been lost to the Treasury, nor any injury indicted upon any branch orcomnleico or business. The constitutional Treasury has been tried during a period of war when it was necessary to negotiate my large loans, when our expenditures were being increased, and when transfers unprecedented in siaounl were required at distant points for disburse ment, During the last eleven months the Govern mrnt Ims received, transferred and more Specie limn during the whole aggregate period or fifty years preceding since of the Consiilulioii. To render the system still* more safe, useful and cconoifutTul, to define more., clearly the, pmvc'rs'bf the Department, and especially to render more secure “the public money in the hands ol dis persing agents,” the amendments suggested in my hsl annual report, (including the establishment of a Branch Mint at New York,) and which received the nncliun of the House of Representatives during the last'session, irro again recommended to the favorable considcrolion of Congress. During the year, ending Juno 30,1847, our imports ofspocio were 824,121,380, (sue table most ol which under former systems, must imvo gone into Hio banks, to have been made tbo basis of issues of their paper to tbo additional amount of fitly or sixty jnilliona of dollars.

In my first annual report.to Con gress, on the Sd December, 1845, in recommending the adoptionof the Constitutional' 'frbddUry, the fol lowing obsorvulions were made, “Nor will it be use*, ful io establish a Constitutional Treasury, if. it is to receive or disbursethe,paper ofßanksi'* I* .“tfpapbr, In Whatever fotmj -tir from wnalcvcr source it may issue, should bo introduced as a circu- * < lution by the Constitutional Treasury, it would pre- 1 ' ciscly to that extent diminish its Uso'as a means of 1 circulating gold and j - biiring and before the commencement 8f mb lafil j session ofCongrcbsf It was thought by many that this measure would not operate successfully during war, and that largo loans could not bo negotiated if tho payments were required in specie. The department, however, adhered to the recommendation of its first report) believing that tho government wbuld he ren dered stronger by the divorce, and that if the Treas ury should retort to banks to negotiate its loans or supply its revenue, that both, if the war continued, would be involved ns they were in the .war of 1813, in ond common ruin; During the months of Juno, July and August last, (per table N,) the ,sum df 86,000,000 was transferred from the Assistant.Treasi urer of Now York, for iho nedesdary disbursement at New Orleans, and in Mexico.. ' Heretofore the public money being deposited with tho banks and loaned olit Id their customers, when such enormous transfers wore made, a contraction of i the hanks with ruinous losSca, must have ensued, but! the money of the goyernment is Hdw transferred from New York to New Orleans, and scarcely affects the busincss'or the money market,because the Irons* actions, of the government arc disconnected from those ofthe banks. When the government formerly received ami disbursed only the paper of banks) 'whenever ft revulsion and numerous bankruptcies oc curred m, England, they, universally reacted upon our perilous paper system so ns to create a pressure in our money market, n large nnd sudden contrac tion of the paper currency,a calling in of heavy loans | |by the hanks, and ns a consequence many failures and most frequent suspensions of specie payments.— l I Now, for the first lime in onr history, although fail* ! irres in England of the most unprecedented magni tude have occurred, including banks and bankers, yet our banks and credit oro sound and stable, and the business of tho country is still prosperous and progressive. . , • Nothing is more injurious to all classes, hut cspcc ; lully to our manufacturers, limn the expansions, con tractions and fluctuations of tho bank paper system, vibrating will* every considerable change of tho pub j lie moneys held by them as depositories. This, per -1 ilous and seductive bank system opens temporarily ohd beyond the wants of tho country, a market hero for foreign imports, not in exchange for exports but for credit, the redemption of which drains the country of its specie, contracts the paper currency, forces at a saclfiuc the sale of domestic fabrics, and’depresses I the industry of tho whole country. I Domestic manufacturers require for their perma nent and successful operation , the basis of specie, checking .vibrolions and inflations of the paper sys*| tom, confining our iinpqrls-lo tho wants of the coun try, and preventing the temporary purchasoof foreign goods for credit and not for exports, which always I results in disturbances of the money market, and an j injury to the country. If our manufacturers desire great advantages IVom the homo market it must bcj abundantly and permanently supplied with a large specie circulation, which alone can sustain the mar ket fur a number ofyoars, and prevent those.calami ties which must follow an inflated paper currency,—. A.homo-markciror .oor.'.inannficlurcsrwhcmbdsod uponspecie and low duties, is solid, permanent and augmenting, but when founded upon paper credits, it is inflated one year only to bo depressed the next or some succeeding year, thus depriving the manu facturer of any well assured and permanent domestic market.

From the Public Ledger. UISPUDIATION. t The English journals arc continually sdolding nil i our country upon tins subject, ns if all our govern ments, Stale and Federal, hud-abjured their debts, and resolved to pay nothing. Wo might say that this was not vojy modest in the organs ofa govern ment which once repudiated ttv'o thirds of its national debt by a single “ Act of Parliament.” And it comes with especially bad grace from such sources, against a Federal government which has never repudiated n dollar of debt, and against Stale governments, only two of which have repudiated that portion of their debt out of which they had.(rasa positively swindled by British capitalists. And of these two Slates, Mis. sjssippi has expressed its' determination to pay, *.vcn this portion of Us debt, and Michigan will follow its example. And while these British journals scold so much about American repudiation, they, forgot that the city, of Edinburg, the .capital of one of the ‘'three kingdoms, 1 * and the very heat of llial band ofTory, scribblers who long manufactured public opinion for the British notion, and systematically slandered ull others, repudiated its whole debt, refusing to pay principal or interest. This reeking hot-bed ofwhole. sale libelleis, of Waller Scbtls and Broughams and ’Wilsons and Blackwood Magazines, made a grand wholesale, - magnificent rcpudhilioni and swindled all its creditors ot once. But tho poinl to which wo would now call especial attention, is a recent statement in the London Times. Us .usual strain-übout repudiation,- and pronouncing the M Universal. Yankee Nation” a “batch of swindlers,” it says that they began with repudiation, having refused to redeem. the whole jssue of Continental money with which they con ducted the revolution, and that .the proprietor of the Times now lias same of this very Continental money with which thc-flvvlndUng was committed, “and which Helped bs to Capture Cornwallis in 1780.” A correspondent ofthc New York Journal of Commerce censures this charge, in a manner which ought to btf quite satisfactory to the Times, and to the whole body. ufUritish libellers. Those conversant with American history know that after tho Federal constitution was adopted, all tlio debts of the Slates, ns well hs ofthc Confederacy, which hnsbcch eorttraided /or tho prnSfi. cution of the revolutionary war, with tho exception oflliis continental money, were funded, or assumed i by the Federal government, and have long since ' been paid. But the Continental money, the clrculii- i lion of which amounted towards the close of tho war, 1 to two hundred millions of dollars, and “winch had gradually depredated, even trf nlhety-nino per cent., was never redeemed, but gradually disappeared from 1 circulation. The Federal government refused to re deem any of it, because largo quantities had been counlcrfcrrcd, and so well ns to defy detection; Ami who were the fabricators and circulators of those spurious bills? Tho British officials then in the United Stales, civil and military. Tho spurious bills were executed in England,and sent out, in largo quantities, to the commondcrs of the British armies, (ordistribution. 'And no small quantities were dis tributed ihrotigh tho Tories J .the object being, not only to swindle,the Whigs, but to cripple the coufcd oracy by destroying the character, and thus accele rating the depreciation, of this currency. This brings Us to the story told in the Journal of Commerce, — Lillie Delaware, the “Blue Hon 11 that sent forth such n brood of pugnacious chickens to fight in the bailies of the Revolution, sent forth among llicmiot tho very commencement of hostilities, a certain Maj. McLone, tho father of Hon. Louis McLtinc, our lalo minister to- England. This Maj.

Wo shall merely make a few common place upd common sense remarks. Wo observe then, (hot Europe, and England,more | particularly, as she is (ho main subject of our argu ment, are too poor to pay extravagant prices for 'brcaaslnffs. They are not reduced to utter poverty ofcourse, but h«VO still, boon so well shorn of (heir superabundance, as to feel voiy economically dispps od. Judging from the tenof oflhc news received by Iho Britannia, the English consider six dollar per barrel or superfine flour, quite as much as they can afford Idpay. They perceive by the failures and mercantile embarrassment which have already oc curred amongst them, that they have been buying 100 much and paying too high. They arc now determin ed to retrench, to buy as little os they can, and as cheaply os possible. . ; . Wb Cannot reasonably expect to drum them a second llrffo their money, os wo have once done, and that in Consecutive yearn, Tho Bank of England seems to htTVcsolved, that ad far os she is concerned, there shall bo no redundant currency to invito importations to her shores. If we want from her more specie, wo must first send it to her. And that is the process actually going on now. We tiro u great people but cannot o*pcct In twelve months to become the great reset voir into which shall flow the entire wealth nf nations. 1 Our prices of breadstuff* ore now 100 high Tor ex portation, and our speculators in their eagerness have brought business almost to a' stand. In the menu time, our own Banks perceive how keenly tho English disiro our gold, and hold on to it with similar tenacity, Hence there is a contraction in tho money market at homo.os well as abroad, both operating against a riso in prices. During tho past year, trade was active in restoring tho equilibrium of the flour market in tho old and now world. Thlsyoor the monetary equilibrium is • being adjusted.

Oh, never tell meof the majesty, the.solemnity, of , a Sabbath in temples, jeared, ahd act apart, and con* eefcralcd by men.. No minister; old{ arid dim} and vast—-no modern church, with its costly adornments;, its religious music, could ever,deem so truly a conse crated temple owned and accepted by the Eternal, as that green, arched homo of the dead, whore goes up, in grateful incense, the perflhriCd breath of the flowers —where float, and echo, and Hrigef tile song ofthe birds—Whoso very atmosphere,by the presence of death; is hallowed, and,sanctified! and blessed.— Not all the princely grandeur of those churches of the old world; rich and stalely as‘they are, and thronged abofri By mighty memories; could so move the heart to solemn worship! . j God be thanked that man lias dedicated to the holy d&d a place so lovely! My heart clings to it—and pwhen the gloomy night of death” has darkened around me, fain would 1 sleep in its sweet seclusion. My heart clings to it.. One whom-1 loved.sleeps in its hallowed ground. Green be the turf, and bright the stars above her ! Ptire and fresh in loving hearts her memory! •' Two yenrd ago last June I went out to Mount Aubufn wilh a youngTiicndthen visiting Boston for the-first lime.- Wo spent a whole bright day in wandering through those green arcades, I remem ber well the sweet seriousness of my hapj>f«hc«rlcd friend, and once, when we stood in a sweetf jjr’fecfl nook, bathed in soft sunset light, and musical with the, song of birds, and fragrant with- the breath of flowers, she said with a sad, pleasant smile, " when I die, InaVlct me bo buried here—l never could love a burying-placo Always shrank wilh fear 1 from the thought of death, but this could 1 almost In love wilh it. OnC fcould sleep here as in a pleasant dfream, If I die fitki{ lha{ tell them to lay mb here." I hardly thought of it again—and never In tonnem lion,with the death of her who was all life, all love liness. 1 had expressed the same wish, with as little ’ thought of Us fulfilment. ' 1 We pahod at Cuirlbridgc, with the expectation of meeting again‘the following June, when Ellen was to be married, and going to her new home in the For West; ; , tn bur school girl days I had made a careless pro mise to bo Ellen’s bridesmaid, when a certain friend, then parading his studies at old Harvard, should fclajm hbr pledged hand, and .there, under the elms, 1 renewed Ihal.pronilsc, • , ,•, 1 Mo* Carrie foiind,and with it camfc a idler from 1 Ellen, reminding ftie that* till wedding was 16 I* on ■ the last day of Juno, wMch wns likewise her bitth* 1 day, and desiring me to spend with her t|io preceding month.

Wo nil laughed, and jested, and pictured our bright, young Ellen, in her log-cubm home, with her brown hair pul soberly away from her brow—all the charming poetry of lovo fust giving 1 place to Us stern, sober, slate-colored prose—tho ! fairy fancies and delicious imaginings of a girlish heart “ fading before .life's realities away.” Perhaps wo laughed and jested too much, for love and marriage are ‘solemn "things. On® may trifle with them for a while, but when comes tho .hearts betrothed—the pledged hands—when tho whole ex istence goes forth to mlngle forever with another— whon old, familiar friends,arc to bo given up lor the untried and now—when a long.it may bo a lust farewell, is to be taken of the childhood’s home— when the inollicr’s lip quivers in its last fond Kiss— when the father’s hand trembles while it blesses— when the brother’s voice murmurs it last fidlon, and the heart of the sister is torn from the clasp—oh, then, then oro they serious, solemn things! . One and all seemed anxious to keep the dreaded day of separation from their thoughts. Ellen was the only sister In a band of brothers—tho firc-sidc idol—happy, loving and loved.
