The only problem is. how we can best retain a fair pro portfop' oj’ that 'dug gpitilMm our own soil. Kethods to effect thb) end are constantly being i suggested- They are naturally as divorsifled i in their character bs the l political : training of i those who originate , them. \ artous nations I have- at different times, prohibited,’ by direct I -legislation, under heavy penalties, the expor ! tattoo of the precious metals : but vvitli coni i mercial countries this experiment has always proved an utter ihllure. no matter how absolute i and despotic the Governments which attempted, it. nor how arbitrary the measures devised to secure ltd success. The laws of trade will in evitably, above such legal enactments, and the master passion-of avarice boldly drive font horse coaches , through such barriers. High’ protectionists point to their favorite. tariff sys tem ■* a safeguard against the exportation bf gold. . In their, eagerness to develop, manufac turing interests, whether adapted to the na tional gepius and: taste or not. they would not hesitate to impose enormous burdens upon the American pe6pie: t 0 fetter, and in » great measure tonestroy. a commercial interest which now nearly equals. aud soon will far exceed, that :of any i'nation :on the globe,f and to dam up the outlet of the agricultural pro-, dnctlons of the great granary of the world. 1 Wo rejoice Intfae many Biitkedtriunipha'ofArocri ean msnnfactures. and In the splendid exhibi tions of human skill, gebltis. enterprise,, and energy evinced in their, developmentj but it' sepm* clear that the. only legitimate policy Which the Goremtoent can pursue to ward, themits to persevere ip its present course of extending such incidental protection as the *ty iayiff f*r sv«jue, (lofying very iQVgjraies pit admitting free of duty raw materj 3W>> thirty permits; and Wife ‘bis assistance, ’leevfng theirdevetpptient to- fioperftntpog the Inherent energy and intelligence of prising manufacturers. rather than upon a torn which would at once unjustly discriminate against ourconunerclal and agricultural inte-. rests..and tax the many for the benefit of ili'e few, /Much, of coiirse. would be done, towards diminishing the exportation of gold, jf we. -could- combine our present large exportation, Of’other articles with more limited 'importa tions: . Some. of. our heaviest articles of.im port. liowever. we neither produce at all, or, evidently cannot supply in sufficientquantitles , o.meet the existing demand, and a protective 1 tariff woidd be of no avail in checking their* importation: Our imports for of coffee and tea, were very large: of sugar. $21,295,161; of .woolens: $80,705,181: of linen fabrics, $11009797 of silk fabres $30,836,998. ’Against ail these, and thousands of other ar ticle^/./swelling: our aggregate imports to $311,689,913. ;■ oar.:, excess of exportation over: importation of gold was $11,537,858.

Our extensive sea board-constantly in vites us to this pursuit, and the redundance, of our agricultural productions compels us to seek a market abroad, it we prosecute the operations for which so extended a theatre is afforded us witfl any degree of vigor whatever, The value of our exports from 1821 to 1850, inclusive, of breadstuff's and provisions was I $796,022,257: .of cotton. $1,958,680,098; of tobacco.' $280,528,946 : of rice. $78,918,08]]. A nation: capable of such productions cannot wisely, entertain for a moment the -idea of fet tering her commerce. How then axe we to retoin our do not believe that »»r gitimate method home by pil ing in ifdiitinwnVfrT'iiil bank notes of small de nominations. and thus rendering it necessary that smsU gold coins should pass into universal use. This is the true and only remedy. Our gold goes abroad because other hations.which do hot issne small notes, require it for their ordinary circulating medium, and are eager to minister to . our extravagance to obtain the precious metals. We make no serious effort to obtain a metallic currency for -onr small business transactions. We are satisfied ■ with bask notes. We are still willing to ran the gaunt let of counterfeiting,:.defaulting, and bank breaking dangers. We authorize our legisla tors to bestow banking privileges to an im mense number of corporations., and to allow them to issue notes of small denominations of $5. and. even $3. $2 and $l. , The worst cur rency always attains the . greatest circulation. In the presence of small notes gold vanishes, or is left to accumulate in the hands of brokers and bankers, readyio.ahswer the call of any merchants: who desire to obtain it in large quantities - for foreign ‘ goods. Reverse this system., and a marked and , speedy ' change would aeon, occur. .Drive out small, notes from circulation, and when a California ate imer arrives ahundred channels in our own cbiiratry would ■ eagerly. seek its goldon- height to fill tho vacuum; and this counter-demand would, without serious inconvenience or detriment to tho general business of the-countiy, keep our gold at borne, at least. until all onr legitimate wants were supplied, and our Circulating me dium placed upon a- firm and substantial baBlS. .• .While: we have ample opportunities of se curing the best, we really, have the worst, cur rency In the world: We make no serious ef fort to retain our gold and apply, it toils proper use as .a. measure of value. If frequently hap pens that those who clamor roost about' the ex portation of ,it are closely. wedded* to a paper currency of small denominations, and large Issne.' They are alarmed at: the idea of gold leaving the country; but when it is here,' they refose to assist.in the, adoption of such mea sures aswonld render it really useful to,big; citixew, aodj by sctiyely empioying'lt itf thO dto)»ess'jrsnfactlw»| oflbewhole wlon, pre vent its export |f||4ji#%mwenty-six millions .ofpgMiftr sipiportunlty of clenching in their handrfh* goicfwe produce, it will fie very dittcult to wMnch it feom them. If we continue to flood them wltit small notes and leave onr gold lie idle in the great cities until Its .very-abundance tempts the. cupidity of these engaged in foreign trade, and urges them on to extensive importations, we cannot expect . to retain much of it; but it will continue to flow out to those who more justly estimate its value, and ..who apply it to.its legitimate pur poses of general circulation. There. Is little rosson to doubt that tho framers of. the, Constitution of tbe United i States keenly appreciated the importance of a i metallic currency, and.earnestly desired that it might form the.princtpa! portion of the circu lating medium of the couniry. They hod been subjected to the .most tlrigblfol evils of a depreciated paper currency during the revolu tion. - They had, seen $lOO ,of these « pro mises to pBy-: scarcely,sn equivalent for a single meal, and $l,OOO of them necessary to buy an articlhof apparel. They had learned how dangerous it was, to pnt their trust in notes issued even by the different States of the Union, With tbeir whole resources impliedly pledged lor their redemption., Hence the Constitution declares, that no State shall “ emit bills of credit." nor “make anything but gold and silver coin, a tender In payment of debts,” Tbe fundamental law of-the -land thus empha tically recognises tbe right of the creditor to exact from the debtor not merely a paper re presentative of money, bat money itself-- “gold and Silver coin"—possessing intrinsic vaine proportioned to .the amount of hls ciaim.

The insurrection at Delhi appears to’ he something more than a .mere emeu/e of the Bengal Sepoys at some fancied insult to tbpir religion,, or at .some aggravated act of marti netism on tlie part of- their European officers,, characteristic enough of those fresh from England.. While it may he accidental as to the point where it first shows, itself, it is now most’ likely to turn out to bo the development' of a 'deep-seated 'discontent—spreading from the Himalaya to Cape Cormorln, and from the Indus to the Brahmaputra—fomenting ail the native races and classes, who have, through a contnry and a half a oppression of, a detested face'bf conquerors, at least, been ground into aJ hombgonelty of hatred.

Yet the forbearanco we regard as a duty', must never be accepted as any mark of sympathy with a Power which never rules dis tant provinces held under its subjection, but in ita own interests. When an outraged and oppressed people have' the manliness to rise against their nilers, the length of their endurance gives n 6 sanc tion to tyranny, but may greatly add to the justice of thhir cause, and may indeed serve, in a great mo&Bure, to. extenuato, acts of ven geance that would, in themselves, make hu. .manity shudder. " The individual Englishman, in the ordinary routine of duty or business, is constantly car ried intomsny positions where he wonid be under no ethical accountability for the sur rounding circumstances; he would, of course, bo entitled to and receive onr sympathy, when brought into jeopardy among Hindoos and Hahom’medans by no personal act of his own, and ho would moreover receive bur applause feign he extricated himself dr perforined Ills' ,«trwit)i skill and courage. - .. .'W®, as apeoplO, _the Kdlawifr : ctlUs?L T i take,from Englahd much of that prestige which now enables her at times so effectually to interpose barriers to our own progress and development.

FROM WASHINGTON. - [Correspondence o t The pres*,] , , WAsaiKoion, August 12, 1857. Next to the outbreak in India, in importance, ia the condition of the ootton-growlng interest to the people of Great Britain, and to the manufacturing world* In Bngland the cotton an* suaUy ia 900,000,000 pounds, 700,000 work-people arO engaged inthe trade, and a"population of from' 8,000,000 to 4,000,000 are Indirectly dependent upon It. At of 1857 there was on hand a stock of zflr material equal to about twelve weeks’ consumption. Cotton has risen 36 per cent, within the last two ' years, and the corresponding rise in the manufactured artiole Is not more than from 20 to 25 per cent. The supply is not equal to the de maud. A few yean ago & movement was started for the culture of cotton in Algesia, and with wbat success will be seen by a statAhii just received from John J. Mahoriy, Colßil of the. United States atAlglors, He sjtys that the Sea Island, lopg-stapled, and Nankin or yellow species of cot* ton, are, cultivated in Algeria. They are all an* nuals. In the summer of 1854 the planters were to try to make these varieties perennial, by lotting the plants stand fbr the ensuing season. With a few isolated exceptions, however, they were killed by the winter rains. Tbo long-stapled va riety is cultivated to the best advantage*, as; being firot to mature, it Is less exposed to the autumnal, rains than the other shrta. The cotton-plant biid been grown With varying 'success in the'Botanical Nurseries since 1847, when, three years Ago, the Emperor offered a bounty to encourage Its cultivation in Algeria, and the Government agreed to purchase, at several times ita market, value, all that might bp grown here. /The seed came from the United States, through the French Consul at Charleston. But one good specimen had been produced, wbloh was grown in the province of Oran. The deterioration, in every Sense of the term, is so rapid that im* ported seed is Required almost every year. Tho product of 1854 amounted to 180,652 pounds!* There are no manufactories of ootton In Algeria; the entire crop is exported to Havre, where it is sold on account of the Frenoh Government. ! It,is impossible to ascertain the cost of producing cation in. Algeria, but something may be fTom the fact that, notwithstanding the high prjeea paid by the Government, its cultivation U for the ' most partabandoned because of its unprofitableness. The soil is doubtless well adapted to Us production, but the ollmato is unfavorable, in oousequenoe of tbe lack'of rain, the very light dews, the heat of stunmer, and the almost incessant rains of autumn* The experiment in Algeria has failed, and munu faotnrers cannot look there for an inorease of the B “PPIy- „ The 250,000,000 pounds raised annually by Wes tern India will bo affected, without doubt, by the Indian revolt. The Xlnlteil'Stitea'has Great Britain bound to keep tka poace towftrd them, with fetters stronger than." steel.” -Even daring the lest yoMywhen the British sujiply from India was 128,000,000 pounds—wa furnished her with 1 fOUr-llfths of the quantity she Consumed. . This ootton was sieve growh,-and afforded us the' means,-with tobacco, to itak'h somo show of keeping up a balance of trade with foreign coun tries. Ido not think, then, under all Uw etroua etances, that the cotton manuteoturpn on tlte other side of tho water will look with anyuomplal sanoe upon the new echeme to do away with the only produotive laborers of tbe cotton fields of the South, the only quarter of they World to which the ootton mannfaoturersof Manohener and IdMl can' look with any certainty for a continuous supply of ootton. Indeed, if tho South were assnulteiAwlfh a determination to destroy her, leaving; out dfylefe, the oloar obligations of the Constitution, it il/Mul known, and by none hotter than Now England tiji,, that her shield of protection is her cotton jUjjs. Tho Southern ootton plantations fturnish thh Uie -blood of the New England factories, and when de prived of the labor that works them to advantage, thoy will go down, carrying with them these faqto-. ries, which ore the great souroe of New England’s, wealth, employing, as they do, thousands of ope ratives and fleets of vessels. ; j - I have the best reason for saying that the' raw mor that Messrs. Toombs and Stephens, of Geor gia, are Inclined to oppose tbo pvoient Adnupls trstion Is utterly without foundation.

Y. MISS MADELEINE SMITH. We had five minutes’ conversation, yesterday, with an intelligent Scottish gentleman, who left Glasgow on tbe 29th ult. He mentions that the general feeling Jn Scotland was tn favor of Mxdx leikb Smith. It was generally considered that : sho was more sinned against than sinning, and U was not supposed that sbo really had~ committed murder. The trial took place at Edinburgh, usd not in Glasgow, (where she lived, and whore the alleged crimo was said to have been committed,) because so much excitement prevailed in Glas gow, that tbo proceedings oould soateoly hare been carried on there with necessary decorum,. It is true that a very large fund was raised by subscription to defend her. She bore up with ap parent sangfroid and self-possession during the . trial, yet, thqugh *be *at unmoved 'during the public reading of her love-letters, her pulse, when taken back to prison, was as low as twenty-eight. Hor family wore reputed wealthy, but could searoely be considered so, though her. father kept a private chariot and pair, for ho lived fully up to hti Income. Madeleine Smith, wo learn, had no idea of visiting the United States. Hor purpose, the execution of which was delayed by her mother's dangerous illness, is to go to India, where she has rich relatives. L’Anqklier, we learn, was a flirting, frivolous young follow, danced well, and though his intellect was low, was a general favorite with the steady “ bonny lassies” of Scotland. He Is very much unlamented, and It was believed that his attention to Miss Smith was on acoounnt of her reported wealth. The body of an unknown man was found on Rookaway beach on Tuesday. Aug-11. and an in questheldby Coroner Nichols. Thefollowinglsa description «f the unknown mas: 54 feet nigh, stout built, from 25 to 30. years old, dressed in a block oloth dress coat, drab pantaloons, and light vest, with a linen shirt marked E.

[From the London Times.] ' The Good wood Cup. The Goodwood Cup for this year is really what It professes to be—a cup, and not a palm tree, a group of pugnaoious warriors, or flying steeds. It Is a noble vase of exodlced silver in the ornamented or renaissance style of the sixteenth century, and is, beyond all doubt, one of tho most effeotive and artistic imitations of the medimv&l silver work which has yet been produced. The uppor part is subdued And simple in style, being only ornamented with flat engraving of ivy loaves and berrios upon a bright matted ground. The handles form an al together novel and striking combination, and are wlntorlaeed in the quaint elaborate style of the renaissance period ns to nresont the .effect of-four winged figures of Famo rising from their hose.— The body is adorned with a finely executed bas re lief at Queen Elizabeth reviewing the English for eosnesr Tilbury. The figures are beautifully chaßod and grouped with excellent-taste, and thooostumes of the soldiery are taken from tho best authorities; tho features and dress of tho Queen from the coins of her reign. The opposite side has an ornamental tabtyt foy Tnseript[on, ourlched with bosses, wreaths and sunken damascene-Work. Tho foot Is formed by crowned tritons supporting chased medallion portraits after Uolbrin, of Lora Burleigh and Sir Francis Drake, The general effect oftbe whole piece is unusually striking and attractive, and the Imitations of the steeled damascene being perfect, gives the vase the'aspect of an antique piece of Family plate rather Qian a work fresh from -the jeweller. The design modeling is by Mr. Armstead —the workmanship such, as only oomes from Han ooekV- IhdUh Hostilities— The California Express is Informed that an outbreak.oeourred on Sunday last, About eight mile* abovevßidweU’s Bar, be tweek the Indians and whites. lt appears that an Indian was killed during the latter part of lost week. In that neighborhood, and some one informed them that a Mr. Newcomb,who lived iu tho vicinity, was tho aggressor, and tho Indians thereupon sent word to Nuwoomb to remove his women and chil dren, as they intended to visit and kill him And bum his house. On this information being re ceived, Newcomb sent his family to BidwOU’s Bar, and informed the sheriff of Butte county of their threats, when he immediately proceeded to the plaoe, with about fifty men. It is rumored that the Indians mutter five hundred strong. THE CITY. 4 Sad Sight*—W o saw yesterday afternoon,; at the Central Polloe Station, a young man of very respectable family, who was arrested on the charge of larceny. A few years ago he was an Industrious student at college, and for a little youthful India* clretion he was expelled—sent into busy life with' thU disgrace hanging about him. Away from home and friends, he formed the acquaintance of evil companions, and a love of atrongdriok was at once acquired. Lost to all parental restraint, he re linquished his books, and to-day, though ho has just reaobed man’s estate, he is in our prison walls, a confirmed drunkard, charged with crime! We thought, as we gated on the young man, after he had been committed by Alderman Ernie, of the in sididOfcrogresa of intemperance, and its Influence upon m still early days. How vainly its viotima strive to break asunder .its unyielding fetters, and, while contending, are struck down by its iron hand, and hastened, rapidly hastened, to the dark gloom of destruction! Sad, sad indeed, is tho tale of woe, of sleepless night 9, bitter tears, and broken hearts, that comes to ns like tho low wail of a men dicant on a cold winter’s night, and causes ns to weep over the sorrowful fate of those near and dear to ns—our co-heirs to immortality, who have been wrecked on the ocean.of life. Under these baneful influences of intemperance, how many a home has been deserted that might have been a perpetual scene of domestic joy! How many hearts have been left without One solitary ray of comfort to cheer them, that might have beat in unison with the warm impulses of its fellows! and how many an intelleot, oppressed with the inoubus of deadly thoughts, has been racked and ruined, that might have gom.med the'literary coronet of a nation, or swayed its council halls ! Many thore have been who are now forever crushed under the potent energies of the demon of intemporance, that might have played a useful and important part in the drama of existence, or under the sway of religious Ihfluonoes, trodden the peaceful walk's of private life In the dispensation of joy and charity to multitudes around them. But what is the reality of to-day? Ask the widowed mother’s heart—ask the orphan—the policeman’s role—the judge’s sen tence—the gibbet and the scaffold. “Ask death-beds—they can tell.” The records at the Mayor’s office fully sustain the assertion that our own city is the daily 'scene of debauchery, and every metropolis, moroorless, contains those who, through constant-strong drink, have become flnMliar with crime, and whose career Is characterized by destructive dissipation. This vice is not confined to one circle, *bufc s{breads to thousands who are eventually sacrificed at its shrine. Ono dram is the initiatory step till an ac cumulation breeds a fiery Gehenna within them, till from their mind and body 11 Life and thought have gone, - Aide by side.” and there is loft a' progeny that will perhaps date thoir earthly ruin, from their father’s fate, and a wori’d that will either speak in pity or in scorn of the drunkard’s end. Put in motion or irritation one organ of tho body, and there Is given an impetus to a violent dUtemper; raok the brain and a deadly fire con sumes, and madness takes the place where, under better self-disoipline, might have existed healthy vigor: thus, like the action of wave on wave, intem perance is tho cause whioh sets in motion the un healthy currents of disease which continue to the end of time. 60 by it in the moral world are Tice and orime disseminated; and so, whether physical ly morally, or mentally, the nation of to-day fore shadows that of to-morrow, and tells ns, by the character and energies of our people, whether we shall be a race of weaklings, ora nation of kings. Ever following the wheel of progress, the still shadowy past, like a ghostly seer, points to the future, and bids us shun the evils that havo besot and ruined those who have lived before os, and specks in warning tones of the enervation and downfall of etder and trans-Atlantia nations. Aa with them, so 1 Uis with individuals, and the little realm whioh we have within us, by a disre gard of wholesome precepts, becomes as total a wreck as a dismembered empire. Happy, Indeed, would it be if all would live like the elder Roman ' rather than the Bacchanalian; like the old Con sul, who, in his narrow* toga, felt that he was en shrouded In a mantle of virtue, alike invulnerable to indolent luxury or immoderate excess.

But he still keeps up the races, and his nephew. Lord Aoilesoft, was steward of the day.
