Ns seen through the French Journals by last , Steamer—Suspension of the "Presse" by the Emperor of the French, for Speaking on the ISltle of the People., In an article under this title, published in the Pants of 21st inst., we devoted considera ble apace to a free translation of a series of editorials, by A. PEYRAT, upon public spirit, its nature, Its Causes, and its effect. To-day we give another abtract from the same author, trusting that the interest of the subject, and the ability. of the handling, will be sufficient apology for the space it occupies. In the course of the discussion, that we have already mentioned, Mr. PEYRAT requested the Gazelle de France to, explain the meaning that it attached to the terms public sentiment, public opinion, and public spirit. The Gazette considers the difference between the terms to be'so slight, that It is almost impossible to dis thighish between them, bntM. PEYILST, with logical acuteness - 01 technical accuracy, ye- kilns . r 1, "Public sentiment, takes its birth among the peopie, and mounts upwards to those men, who by their talent and, power.,,ocoupy_the sumielt of so. Patie d or e o n n ag on:e a c i ln s try gas is e forn i ir e massL a Cl g m an na refleot lrttle—exposed to want and suffering they are ,the, first to feel, and they, naturally utter the first cry of complaint. .This cry reaches the' author and the statesman, who 'observe, meditate, and form their opinion—one expresses with his pen the griefs of the suffering classes; and the other. proposes measures for the amelioration of their condition, and both in some sort juStify, and sanction the general sentiment." "Their ()Pinion thus formed in their writings, or 'proved by their acts becomes the subject of public and private conversation ; it spreads over the land, exciting the national sentiment and mingling with it, and in this moment of union public opinion springs into existence. A sort of magnetic current is now established throughout society which so we have already said, makes all hearts boat with the same pulsatiort—there is now but one thing want ing, sometimes but a trivial circumstance, and in flamed opinion bursts into public spiritovhich is opinion disposed to movement or passing into ac tion. Thus, superior Intellects, authors or ,states men,inhale pnblie sentiment and exhale opinion, andth at sentiment and that opinion mingling form the public spirit which animates the whole extent of society.' "Le, Gazette de France must understand that this public opinion can exist only in a well organ ized society, that is to say, in a society whore men who Anger have a right to complain, and where men _who think have the right to speak and to write freely. The Gazette sees, then, why we found it so strange when it discovered public spirit in the timed Hugh Capet and Charlemagne." .Out' French namesake has taken up the dangerous business of thinking aloud; it turns its ideas loose upon the order which reigns in Paris. It seems to us as if it could scarcely be safe to allow France to be attacked by free opinions so slightly muzzled. Authority is concerned, and must be looking to its securi ties when it is proposed to make the science of society the principles of government, and the policy of civil life the subjects of discus sion HOLIDAY,! ALFRED DAnistox, ono of the editors of La Presie, speaks to the following effect " We he:mad some remarks upon the subject of a chair of political economy at Montpelier, and both the enemies and friends of the movement have attacked us. The one wished us to say that political economy has not yet become, a science, and the other wished us to have approved the economists in demanding the liberty of tuition, which they have bean so long entreating from the Government. We have but ono reply to make, and that is by strengthening our arguments." " It is generally agreed that political economy is not yet an established solence, and it is said of it that it is broken into sects, some of whom have well-established opinions and some who have not. But it may be added that it is thus in all sciences, and that, for the rest, there is in the writings of the leaders ono common ground, which is constantly broadening. We do not deny that the economists Since Target and-Adam Smith have only epita. Inked from the observations which they have col lected eertain.number of, general ideas, yet we nevertheless assert that upon a great number of points they.have left peplace,for doubt." 4of-€a *di - a tol, + f general ideals is not "sullioient to constitute a solence. A science is formed ' , only when there is a clear and analytical acquaintance with facts; when there is• reproduced in the human understanding that Order which exists in nature. " It is only necessary to open one of the modern treatises upon political economy to see that fasts, ideas, definitions, and observations are there ar ranged pen-mall ; there Is not even a suspicion of method or system—we see only a crowd of im portant phenomena subjected to various and Mil conflicting estimations. Add to this that descrip tion usually takes the plane of general principles.— that facts purely transitory, and which are oven now disappearing, are there admitted as Immuta ble facts ; that they ,cast aside as subversive all those facts which are contrary to certain precion ceired opinions, and that, too, in a science which has for its object a constantly changing end pro gressing aim." "Although such is the present state of political economy, we do not welcome the loss a proposition for making it a special branch of study—it is, to our thinking, the only way to elevate it into a sci ence. In passing from the tracts and books, where it has been so long confined, to the chair of public Instruction it will be subjected to a discussion and revision, which must be favorable to its advance ment." " As to thosewho fear that these institutions will lead to contempt of existing laws we have only to say that they do not understand the question. Of late years there is one great fact, which has come. in collision with all oppositions and reactions—it is that modern nations wish to have the right of dis cussing their own affairs, and that the financial movements of which we are constantly the wit nesses and the organs have changed this wish into an imperative necessity. The discussion of the economical phenomena which constitute the ma terial' of legislation leads to the examination of that legislation itself." " The laws, in a society where all the interests are in conflict, and which has proclaimed the right of examination, must have a transitory character. When the study of political economy shall have resulted In the overthrow of worn-out institutions, who will have the right of complaining except those whom these institutions have created, or those to whom they have granted unjust monopo lies? Nowhere else has philosophical criticism of the laws ever been confounded with a revolt against them. The increase multiplication of chairs of politi cal economy will be approved by all wise men, be cause it cultivates in our land a taste for solid studies. We must confess it, to our shame, that for twenty years France has not studied; she seems to have repudiated all participation in tho movement which eharacterisea the nineteenth cen tury—the country of Descartes and Oondillao has no philosophy ! At one time she seemed to wish to shake off her intellectual Mortise; social economy seemed to have attracted a number of choice spirits, but this lasted for a very short time. At this moment the country, which has given birth to the masters of economic science, and which has been the theatre of a vast reform movement, treats with contempt the men who occupy themselves with these eco nomic questions ! - Recently the title of errivaist has been denied to a publicist, because ho treated especially of financial and economic doctrines. -Such a reproach would seem strange in Oerniany, Switzerland, Belgium, and above all in England, where the latest Of the novelists piques himself upon being acquainted with Adam Smith. "In our capricious and fantastic Gaul this con tempt for grand ideas and great interests can lest only for a time. The study of the science will propagate itself, and produce its own resurrection. It is a spectacle which we have seen too often not to hope to see it, again." While writing this paper wo have received a new instalment of journals, and among them the L'lndependence, of Brussels, Dec. 4th, and Le Constitutionnel of ,the 6th, noticing the suspension of La Fresco, by order of the Em peror, on account of an article by M. PxvnAT, upon the elections. Our Republican sympa thies were truer than we thought—his Roe thoughts and flowing style had instantly at tracted us; but we did not think that ho would so soon feel- the despotism which ho was so dexterously undermining. But the Emperor of the French, who, as they say, has it only great and noble thoughts," has perpetrated a practical anachronism ; he has certainly fan cied himself in an ago when a suspended editor was utterly poWerless. That public spirit which M. PETRAT says is yet in its swaddling clothes, has a vigorous existence even in Paris, and there is already a proposal to bring the suspended editor for Ward as a candidate for that city. In our next we will attempt to give the spirit Of the condemned editorial. Its points display the sentiment of the resistance offered by the manhood of France to the despotism of its monarch; and it shows just what he fears by his attempts to smother it.. Although it is but a newspaper article, it may yet find its way into history, when that 'grand inquisitor shall be'looking for the cause,f of things that will shortly be falling into his ride. In a country where the majority rules, the press is not suspended for defending the principle. It Is ins safe as it is free, when It is honest. 'That is the'differenee between a deinocratic 'and an autocratic GovernMent. And this is something to be gratefUl for, and well worth fighting for at all risks. • A \- .

(Oorreepondenco of The Press 1 BAN FRANCISCO, Deo. 5, 1867 I am glad to tell you that your paper is much sought after in California, and has already ob. tamed an extensive circulation as well in the mining as in the commercial districts. A letter from a friend in the interior says that eighty subscribers enrolled their names at one camp in less than three days; and I have no doubt that, should proper exertions be made by our leading Democrats, Tim Panes will shortly become our leading Eastern paper. In these perilous times it is desirable that no effort should be spared to scatter amongst the people newspapers devoted to the exposition of truth and Democracy. I see that some of your newspapers have antici pated that the financial panics would have a crush ing effect upon business affairs in California. It is unnecessary, perhaps, to tell you that we are as mere "lookers on," and have felt (so far at least) no disastrous effect from the wreck of banks, and other corporations, on the Atlantic aide. It is true that the house of Sather d; Church suspended, but the assets of the firm ere so largo, and the con fidence in the ability to pay is so unquestionable, that their paper by nomeans goes hogging in the market. The banking house of T. C. Palmer also has closed, but it is shrewdly believed that that accomplished financier will successfully strug gle through his difficulties. The stoppage of his bank was not occasioned by any unfortunate con nection with eastern houses, but-by his specula tions in State and county securities, and the losses he sustained by the bankruptcy of the house of Adams lc Co. Indeed, it may appear strange to outside observers, but - it is neyertbeless true that in California the general • prosperity ' does not In the main depend upon the solvency of, the banks which are merely banks of deposit' and discount. The time has long gone by, when such was the ease: Ido not think ono thou sand men would be thrown out of employment were all the banke in the State to close to-morrow. Seine two years ago, when Adams & Co., and two or three other banking.houses, became insolvent, our people had bitter experience of the folly of placing their motley in the hands of other mon, nominally for safety, brit really for the purpose of enabling them to speculate more largely than their individual means would warrant; and since that time the bulk of the circulating medium has either been placed on special deposit or been hold in, private hands. Every man is his own speculator and banker, as a rule. Fabulous sto ries are told of the wealth of some of our oldest residents who still cache (bury in the earth) their precious dust, and the fine nest eggs" laid by thousands of the prudent and industrious. No trust me, you need. have no fear for California, so long as her constitution prohibits the nee of shin p'rtstors. Even Sam Brannan, the millionaire and Mormon, will fail in his effort to create, under co ver of a legal technicality, a bank of issue. Not all the blood of all the Hosuards" can secure success. You know it is fashionable in every country to raise, periodically, the cry of "hard times," and the fashion is just now prevalont in California, while, unquestionably, it is becoming the most prosperous country on earth. All we lack is eccu. rity for our land titles, which, it is patent, are in a very confused condition. Congress could ito more for us by giving them permanency than by making hundreds of millions of appropriations out of the national treasury. As affairs now stand the pur chaser of a piece of property under one title, not unfrequently finds that ho has to purchase seven or eight other titles before his home. stead is clear of incumbranee. . I am acquainted with several cases of this kind, and, indeed, these cases may be set down as the rule and not as the exception. Can you not urge through your columns some plan by which this terrible evil can be remedied ? MINING INTERNISTS. The intelligence from the mines is still of an en couraging character, the expresses bringing down to our cities larger amounts of gold dust than aver before, some of which finds permanent invest ment here, and the balance being shipped to fill the vaccaum created by your recent financial dis turbances. Much attention le being paid to the business of quartz mining, and several important discoveries haver cently been made, the announce ment of which be found in ear newspapers. It is true that large fortunes have.been lost in quartz mining experiments, but it must inevitably be come the permanent interest of the country. Tho massive and expensive machinery constructed of late years for reducing quartz and extracting the gold, both by crushing and smelting, has, in too many instances, proved a failure. Tho old Mexi can errastra, though slow and simple, hes proved, after all, moat certain in profitable resulta. The New York Herald very mendaciously, a short time age, ventured the 'assertion that the mines were " giving out." Don't you believe a word of it. There are vast districts of mineral region yet untouched, and mining is really, as yet, in its infancy. Like all other kinds of business, the business of mining is subject to the ups And downs of fortune, but as a rule it pays the indus trious and temperate men abundantly and profita bly. V TAR . MeriffOtifitoganb LtMeil Bthtlimy:ton*. dn. elating war upon the united relates, cannoned great excitement here, and the opinion is unani mous that the Mormon cancer should be wholly eradicated from the body politic. If the Admin istration would give authority to California to set tle the Utah question, the diffioulty would soon be over. In anticipation of a call for troops from this side, several gentlemen experienced in mili tary affairs, and who served with distinetion in the Mexican war, are preparing to raise regiments for the public service. I judge from the temper of the people that fifty thousand men eould be raised for service in lees than thirty days. The murder of the Gunnison party, and the more recent tragedy on the Southern route, have awakened a positive desire for a contest, hand to hand, with Mor monism. Sines the foregoing was written, the Commo dore has arrived from Oregon, with the startling intelligence that Col. Johnson's force had been attacked by the Mormons, and that one hundred and eighty of his mon have been killed 'Further, that with the fomaining portion of his troops he has been compelled to retreat. This intelligence was received by Colonel Steptoe at Walla•Walla. It Is generally believed hero that the report is true. I enclose a slip from the Bulletin, giving the latest news from Central America. Tho move ments of William Walker and the political events of the Central American States, excite the liveliest interest here. Many of Walker's friends in this region without doubt, join him should he suc ceed in effecting a landing once snore in Nicara gua. However much filibustering may bo depre cated by the straight-laced at the East, it cannot be denied that sines the butchery of Crabb's party in Sonora, the renewal of dis sensions between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and the closing of the Transit route, movements hav ing for their object the subjugation of the saint barbaric countries at the South, find favor In the oyes of many of our most respected and substantial ettizens. The time is looked forward to, when these Spanish countries shall bo in possession of the Anglo-Saxon, and when their abundant agricul tural and mineral resources shall be tree to the enterprising of all nations. Ml= The last Legislature inaugurated a new system of reform, and the consequence is that the scrip system hes become obsolete. The State Oorern ment now regularly pays in cash all public dues, and receives nothing but cash for taxes. The stamp law, which imposes a tax upon hills of exchange, he., has worked admirably, and it is anticipated that not less than $lOO,OOO will be realized from this source during the current year. The endorse ment of the State debt, by the people, at the last election, does not appear to have had, on the At lantis side, as favorable an effect as we anticipated. Some doubt having boon expressed to the validity of the law submitting the question to the people, an agreed ease has been sent up to the Supreme Court, and I shall be able to eond you the determi nation of the matter by the next steamer. Political topics of a local character aro vory few in number, and uninteresting in character. Tho Kenna question, which seems to have such terri ble import at Washington, is scarcely alluded to here. Our people feel that they aro out of the Kansas latitude altogether, end have no concern in the matter. The genus lire-eater is rare, and Republicans aro so scarce that they do not even excite attention. We wore glad to learn of the safe arrival at Now York of Senator Broderiok. Ms friends are firmly convinced that ho is the very man for the times. You will find him a man ,gf nerve, fearless of op position, and truly natioal in his sentiments. Lot him have your confidence, and bo the storm never so wild, and the enemies of the best interests of our country novor so numerous, ho will stand by the right. He has the strength of "an army 'buttoned up within his vest." Indian affairs aro very quiet at the present time. The wars have ceased, and the aboriginals are busily engaged in agricultural pursuits on the re. servations. Geiger is at Nome Laokee. and pays very proper attention to the moral as well as phy sical improvement of the tribes under hie charge. OR BOON. Tho people of °repn have held a convention and framed a constitution, which has been sub mitted to a vote of the people and _adopted. The slavery question was submitted separately, and the result is, that slavery' is prohibited, and free ne groes inhibited, by a very decided vote. The In telligence generally from Oregon is of a very cheering character. Idlers and " loafers" aro on. known, and every man has at all times the dollars in his pocket. A better home for the emigrant cannot be found on the Pacific coast. Ned McGowan, formerly of your city, is revid• ing at Sacramento, and is engaged in tho publica tion of a newspaper called T/e Plocni.r. lie avows that its sole purpose is to enable hint to get " even" with the Vigilance Committee, by whom he was persecuted. Ile furnishes weekly exposes of the secret history of the "Purest and Best." Tho Town Talk, a.small paper of this city, has boon prosecuted by , Jacob R. Snyder, the assistant U. S. Treasurer, for libel in accusing him with complicity in the liarazthoy frauds on the Mint. The trial is now progressing. Mr Snyder has al ways borne an irreproachable character. The Stone surveying expedition to Sonora has not yet started, but it is understood that the ex pedittonists will endeavor to fulfil their contract with the Mexican Government, tome what may. In the meantime, Gen. Pasquiera is constantly Is suing proclamations to the people of Sonora, warn ing them against illlibusters. now it comes that the authorities of Sonora are at issue with Captain Stone, who is noting under the authority of Presi dent Comonfort,tt is impossible to understand. It is evident that, to all intents and purposes, so far as Government Is concerned, the Stato of Sonora is separate from the rest of Mexico. • The vineyards of Los Angeles county are already producing wines of a very superior quality. Tho manufacture is carried on on a very extensive PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, scale, under the direction of vignerons from France, Spain, end Germany. The Hon. Jos. W. MoCorklo is residing on html estate, at Ohio, where he welcomes friends and imprisons enemies by his courtesy. It is said that Messrs. Lent, Brent, Scott, lifcliibbin, Herbert, Von Voorhies, lilcKinstry, Ferguson, and Dudley, will be candidates before the next Democratic State Convention for Congrini rional honors. lion. J. B. Weller, Governor elect, was here yesterday. Ho is In the enjoyment of imellont health. In the theatrical world there is little new or in teresting. Tom DlMlntro, of the Ban Francisco Opera, is the only manager who seems to care for our wants in this respect. Mrs. Rayne, ii Bright as a star, When only one ht shining:in the sky," is at the "American," porforming in Sheridan Knowles' series of characters. But we aro a laughter-loving people, and negro minstrelsy still attracts the most crowded houses. There is little doing in State or other strike. State bonds, payable in 1876, are quoted at 65, and war loan bonds at 25a30: San Franeisco tan per cents., 00; Sacramento city bonds nominal, and California Steam Navigation stook at 43. Mexican dollars command 15 per cent. premium. Ex change (sight) on New York 3 per oont, premium., Thero is but very little speculative fooling among mercantile men. Trade in candles and American spirits is depreseod, while in boots, shoes, and winter clothing it is dull. Cousidery hie cargoes of liquors have recently arrived from France. Notwithstanding the native demand for money for shipment to the East, interest remains at 2a2( percent. Dinah as your papers at the East affeet to despise, California will yet bo the saviour of your mercantile men. On the 20th of November a fire occurred in this" ally, on Clay street, but resulted in a loss of only some $5,000, One or two other fires have occurred, but -all have been of a similar trifling importance. The day of Thanksgiving (28th November) was generally observed throughout the State. Tito veteran comedian, W. B. Chapman, died a few days ago. lie was much admired and balers& lie leaves a wife and children, for whose benefit performances wore given at both theatres in Bilk city. • Judge Boger has ordered a distribution of the assets of Adams Co., but en appeal has boon, taken, and the case will bo oarricd to the Supreme Court. It probable that twelve months will elapse before the matter can be finally settled, and by, that time the creditors may whistle for all the assets that will be left. A. euit has been commenced in regard to the Now Almaden quicksilver mines, about which you doubtless have heard. The richness of these mines is incalculable, and the suit consequently excites some interest. It is alleged that the title of the present holders is fraudulent. CAPTURE OF CASTILLO BY OEN. WALKER.

His Decisive Conduct—Landittp, of some 350 Marines and Sailors from the Flagship. [Reported by an Eye• Witness, for The Preen We have already ahronieled the landing of General Wm. Walker and his army of rrgrutra• tors at Groytown. By the arrival of the last Call. fornia steamer we are enabled to lay before our readers all that hassinco occurred—embracing the landing of the United States forces and the uncon ditional surrender of the filibuster chief. Our correspondent says, in an elaborate letter from San Juan del Norte, bearing date the 19th Decem ber, that the forty men who went up the river under Col. Anderson succeeded in capturing Cas tillo. This was a great success, and the 'gray. eyed loan of destiny began to feel himself a per t-annum, in Nicaragua. His encampment on 'Puenta Arenas was being strengthened by the erection of stockades and a fortress The river steamers had been captured by him from the Costa Ricans. The daily exercising of his forces on the point, and the apparent non-interference of the United States Government seemed to argue new and more enduring successes to the filibusters," On the morning of Dooember the 6th, the report of a gun to seaward, announced a large American marpolwar steaming up for tho harbor. The stars and stripes soon kissed the wind, and the broad pennant at the main truck told the story. In a few minutes tho United States steam-frigate Wa bash, flag-ship of the Homo Squadron, rounded in the roadstead, and anchored within range •of the fortifications and flag of the filibuster hero, whether to make or to mar the fortunes of the hitter, none knew. The day wore away, and the next broaght with it 11. B. M. line-of-battle-ship "Brunswick," and side-wheel steamer "Leopard. Various wore the conjectures of the population. Boma dreamed of future distractions and endless war, and ()thereof the discomfiture of the ?e,genera- MA., as intereet dictated. Daring the day some of the officers of Welker', army nailed the flaps aitd vmu, re -outran. They deportee, do {mat noting Ware in the broken reed of non-interference. MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS-CONJECTURE ' On tho evening of the 7th, the United States steamer Fulton, whose special inission it is be. lieved by the public has been the pursuit of these adventurers, was signalled in the offing, and soon name to anchor under the stern of the flag-ship. After nightfall an armed boat was soon to move up the river from tho U. S. ship "Saratoga." This boat having intercepted ono of tho Walker boats on its attempt to amend the San Juan river, gave birth to the conviction that the sun of William Walker's political fortunes had begun to set. THE RURRENDER7I.II ISIPOSING BIGHT Many Fupposod as Walker's fortunes had been madly played for and half won, he would resist all interferenoe and go off in a blaze of glory. The morning of the Bth was ushered in with a cloudless sky, and bofore the sun wont down the most imposing sight took placo that over added a new leaf to the history of Central America. The following, as near as can be ascertained, was the programme of the day : The entire marine guard of the flag-ship " Wa bash," numbering sixty rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant James Lewis, U. S. M. C., was first transferred to the U. S. steamer IFulton. The marines of the Fulton wore also placed under the command of the above-named officer. The commander-in-chief, flag-officer Hiram Paulding, accompanied by a portion of his staff, then trans ferred his broad pennant to the Fulton, and was received by the turning out of the guard, and ap propriate military honors. This vessel, being of light draught, could easily run up to the Transit Company's wharf and land the force selected, of which the following is a detail. Flag Officer--Hiram Paulding, Commander-in- Chief. Aids—Lieut. B. Gherardi, Midshipman Norton, Tatnal Paulding, Secretary. • Medical Staff—G. R. B. Berner, Surgeon of Fleet, Wm. Johnson, Jr., Assistant Surgeon. The head-quarters was the United States steamer Fulton. Tho land force, under command of Post Captain Frederick Engle, was composed as follows: Marine Guard, United States steamer Saratoga, Lieut. Payne, U. S M. C. ; Marino Guard, United States steam frigate Wabash, Lieutenant Tames Lewis, U. S. M. C. The marines were gaily dressed, and seemed reedy for their work. The battalion of tars was composed as follows: First company Annie Rifles, Lieut. Fairfax and Midshipman Lee, U. S. N. Scoondl company Mini° Rifles, J.l 0 Beaumont, U. S. N. and First Asa. Eng. Macomb. Sharp's Rifles, Lieut. George Paulding, U. S. N., and Midshipman Dalton. Catbineers, Lieut. 11. M. Garland and Midship men Eastman and Blodgot, U. S. N. To each company was added an ensign. There was a very heavy sea on at the time, and the transferring of them troops was effected in a most masterly manner. Jack looked well. They wore formidably equipped, and their very neat uniform presented a pleating sight to the eye. Whilst this steamer is carrying her warlike freight over the bar and steaming for tho com pany's wharf, numbering some three hundred and fifty sailors and marines, no intimation of which had reached the Walker camp, let us look to other moves on the chess board, all of which were simul taneously effected. The United States ship "Saratoga" had a spring in her cable, and had hauled broadside en, com manding the entire economy of General Walker's camp. This vessel Icy quietly in the bay between the point and Groytown. The two launches of the " Wabash" and one of the "Saratoga," armed with ono twonty-four and three twolvo pound howitzers, wore forming on the inside of the bay, bearing directly on and com manding an important point of l'uenta Annus. This flotilla was commanded by 11. G...T. Sinclair, and Midshipmen Sioaud, Cook, and Porter. As alstrint'Surgeon Crownmlller was attached to this division. The flag ship lay about a mile to seaward, with a portion of her crew, undor charge or command of Lieut. Barnet, U. S. N. This vessel command ed the entire approach to the harbor and town, as it was currently rumored that the steamship tt Quaker City" was hourly expected with rein (ornaments under Chen. llenningsen. An effectual estoppel would have boon put to her, bud elm or any other vessel on a similar mission, hove in sight. Tho Fulton steamed up to the Transit Compa ny's wharf and the Wailful of infantry, rillomen, and earbinoe rs embarked by companies,and march ing up the beach, formed lino of battle, right rest ing to the westward and embracing the entire number of buildings and works of the filibuster army. At this junture, Post . CaptainiF. Engle, accom panied by his aid, A. 0. Shutt, proceeded to (len. Walker's head-quarters and demanded the our. render of ltittn.elf and army. In a moment the red star came fluttering down from the tiag-staff, and it became known that the work was finished with. out an actual resort to arum. • • The above events occurred so rapidly that the result woe barely realized by both parties, oven after it had occurred. The lino of United States forces immediately broke into column with the " Wabash's" band at the head playing a lively quickstep with colors flying, and the pageant moved back to the United ‘ States steamer 'Fulton," truly a most beautiful sight. The superior number of the fumes sent against the jatitoster chief might well overawe him, but may we not hope that the blue stars and rod stripes of the country they had abandoned, brought to each lively emotions of home and joys past! The forces re-embarked on board tho Ful ton, carrying with theta General Walker, and steamed out to the Wabash, where the ex-Presl dent remains. And thus closed the Bth of Decem ber! A pregnant day? CLOSINCI SCENF.9 OP TIIE PRAHA The day after the surrender a marine guard from the tiaratega was quartered on the Point to arrest those who had secreted thonntelves, and to ' DECEMBER 29, 1857. . . . take Aargcof the Stores of the regenerating army. Many amusing scenes took. place. About twenty delitiquente were taken into custody. Many of the Mcrae were found burled in the earth. Mus kets{ powder, provisions, accoutrements of all khan were found scattered over the field. The ex peditten was thoroughly equipped. Provisions for over six months, flour, moats and whiskey, which latter. was found in the bushes, after the sur render—fear 'or five hundred new rifles, and Mi nie muskets, pickaxes, ropes, lead enough to kill every sold in Central America, was to be found 43mm/where. Those things were carefully taken ears Of, And will, no doubt, be disposed of rumor ditty to law. Ilorget to mention that as General Walker bsuls4 his eolora down, the first river steamer came down from Castillo with some lb or 20 Costa Rim, prisoners. These were released, and the Anteripan. property placed in competent hands , to wish any litigation on the subject. A Saturday, December 12th, the United States A p Saratoga sailed for the United States, with th major portion of the army on board, who will ho disposed of on their arrival home. ponorei Walker left on the same day on board the flag Ship Wabash, for Aspinwall, whence it is presented lie will return home on the next steamer atrisoney on parole. els not true, as stated in the Panama Star, that W iker shed tears on hauling down his flag When ha was told by the Commodore on the Fulton that he WAS tobe at nt to the States on the Saratoga, he was I veryttinob agitated. and begged hard to be soot on pother •0860 i. There was a very bitter feeling , ag between Walker and Captain Chatard !Mt. ta Aeons, as well as between Walker's 0111- qtratind men and the officers and men on the Sa ratega--so, bitter, indeed, that had Captain Ohs tardi.~ before the arrival of the Commodore, offered to Molest Walker, a conflict would have been Gm losalt. This was the reason that Walker Aliotted so strongly to going home in his vesll--and the Commodore finally agreed to *acetyl! , him on board the Wabash. Ile gave Counnodere Paulding a written pledge to retalr to -New York in the first steamer, and to e Ivor himself Into the hands of the United States 1 al Were; and upon this pledge he was allowed 1 t ra to c Vero, and has been living here at the UMW ril , s e. _no has occupied his time here in wet. ~, ocesisionally walking out and visiting the 'Company's workshops, ,to. While on the L a st. 1 tatt n esac s l t i w ri a th v th e e ry C g o e mz e o m de a r n e ly an a d n g o at oilm lioempiete contrast with that be observed tong , finnalider Davis, when on board the St. ,Marytt, a ibis surrender at Rivas. lie say's that Andersoacan maintain his position at Castillo two or three Months, if he wishes to. It is said that he took all the steamboats on the river, four in num ber, yhiolt ho holds now, with the exception of the Charles Morgan, which Commodore Paulding placed in charge of Consul Cottrell at Greytown. The Fulton had orders to remain at Greytown to receive Anderson's force when it should come down the river. On the 13th, after the Wabash left Groylown, the United States steamer Susque hanna, Captain Sands, arrived there, where she will remain for the present. The Fulton, under (trimmest! of Captain Almy, will guard the mouth of the Colorado. It is understood hero that lienningson, with the artillery, and Colonel J. P. Waters, with a batta lion of Texas men, wore to have left the shores of the United States for Nicaragua Immediately on news being received of Walker's successful land ing As the news of Captain Chetard's non-into• foreruns must have reached the States nearly, if not quits, a fortnight before the intelligence of Walker's capture, it is thought that ono of these expeditions may get away before getting the last news. If it does, there is not the least doubt about its being taken by either the Susquehanna or Put ton,. as both have received the commands of the Commodore to that effect. Commodore Paulding, I halm good mason to be. Hero, in taking the extreme measures ho did, act ed entirely on his personal responsibility. That, his honest, energetic conduct will be endonted by every right-minded, honorable man in the United States, 1, fully believo. `The following is a list of Walker's men who wont to Norfolk on the Saratoga : EMI= Gen.

FROM A CAPTURED FILLIB OSTER [Correspondence of The Press.] I sailed from Mobile, Alabama, on the 14th of last month, in the steamer " Fashion," for Nicara gua. The vessel was regularly cleared at the ens tom-house, the collector having sent inspectors on board to examine the cargo and. passengers. These inspectors were the last people to leave the vessel : neither freight nor passengers came on board after these gentlemen took their departure. Our voy age to Nicaragua was tedious and boisterous. No other people than fillibusters, having full faith in destiny, would have ventured in snob a vessel, and none other than fillibusters would have weathered the dangers we encountered, and made their port of destination in safety. On the 24th, we passed San Juan del Norte, and stopped our wheels off the Colorado river, where Col. Frank Anderson and forty-five man, in three boats, left us, for the purpose of going up that river. Neat morning, the Fashion entered the harbor of San Juan do Nicaragua. The United States sloop-of-war Saratoga was lying in the har bor. General Walker and all his men landed on Puenta Arenas. The arms, ammunition, military stores. and provisions were also landed, no oppo sition being offered by the Saratoga or her officers. From tho 25th November until tho sth of De cember, we remained quietly at Puenta Arenas, drilling the men, fitting up quarters, hospital, de., and putting the camp in order. On the sth, news come down the river that Colonel Anderson had taken fort Castillo, and four steamers from the Costa Ricans. This was cheering, and all were pre paring to move so soon as a steamer came down. On the 6th, the United States frigate Wabash an chored oft our camp. She was followed by the Bri tish frigate Brunswick, and steamer Leopard. On the 7th, the United States steamer Fulton came into th6harbor. . . . - On the Bth, Commodore Paulding, of the " Wa bash," surroundod our camp with coven hundred and fifty neon, part on the point and part in boats, hauled down the Nicarapan Rag, taking General Walker and all of no prISCITIONI of war. General Walker is on board the "Wabash," bound for Aspinwall and New York; the balance of those on tha Point, one hundred and fifty of us. aro on board the " Saratoga, bound for what port in the United States wo know not. Colonel Anderson and his command are still at Castillo, Commodore Paulding refusing to send up to notify him of what had occurred and also refusing to allow any one of us to go up to him; Dr. Kellum - having informed the Commodore that the surgeon who went up to Castillo had boon taken sick and the neon were en want of medicine, volun teered to go up if the Commodore would give him permission, but the doctor was not allowed to leave the ship. What will become of Colonel Anderson and his gallant little band, I cannot conjecture; the Costa Ricans will probably surround them and starve them out. I believe I have, in a few words ,given you all the material facts in regard to our expedition, and as wo prisoner's on board this ship, aro kept in Ignorance of our destination—some statements being that we all go to Now York, others to Not folk, some to Boston, and others to Mobile—l take the liberty of calling attention to our situa tion should we bo landed in any Northern port et this season of the year; we aro without money and but thinly clad, and but very few of us have friends in the North. We all tool exceedingly indignant. and that our right's have boon out raged. liad tho Cabinet at Washington been in earnest, they could 'sanity have prevented the Fashion leaving port. After arriving in Nicaragua the American ship-of-svar made no opposition to our landing ; after wo had landed we supposed wo were out of the jurisdiction of the United States; it was injustice and cruelty to take no away, and it was criminal to leave Colonel Anderson in the midst of his enemies, taking away his only resource for reinforcements, for arms, ammunition and provisions. It is said on board that Commodore Paulding has noted with out positive instruolions, upon nowsvaper reports. If this be true, he has done us an injury he cannot repair ; he has again closed the transit, which has caused so much trouble and negotiation, for with Castillo and the four steamers in our possession the transit route was virtually open. I take our case into consideration, Colonel, and help us with your able pen. Full particulars and details you will have from more accomplished correspondent than a PHILADELPHIA FILLIEVETER, On board the United Staten Sloop of War Saratoga, off San Juan del Norte, December 12th, 1857. GENERAL NEWS. The order of the Sona of Malta, says the Baltimore Sun, of Monday, which has been orga nised In this country since 1705, but which has never been introduced into the State of Maryland, has become among the most numerous of the an dent orders, numbering about one hundred thou sand members In the United States To-day a lodge will be instituted in this city, by the Grand Council of Pennsylvania, and which will be subor dinate to that body. The officers arrived in this city yesterday and took rooms at Barnum's City Hotel, and among them aro 11. C Rowell, Grand Commander ; R. V. Lowry. Vice Grand Com mander; Alexander Murphy, Grand Conducter ; D. Charron, Grand Chancellor ; Marshall A. Jones, Grand Inside Guardian; John Burton, Grand Outside Guardian; George Ward, Grand Secretary; Owen Evans, Grand Treasurer, and Benjamin Rippeger, Sergeant. The following members accompany the officers: T. B. Paterson, Norwood Penrose, F. S. Johnston, John D. Wine. low, E. D. Goddard, It. A. Stiles, Chas. Taggart, George 11. Roberts, Charles E. Clark, John Heck nese and IL A. Chadwick. Tho object of the or der is charity, and it does not confine itself within the bounds of its membership, which has no claim, but dispenses to the worthy, wherever .found. The order can be traced as far back as A. D. 1112, and from that time its charity has extended wherever it has existed. In the city of Philadel phia, where there aro some 1,300 members, the charitable donations during the present year have ranched near $7,000 John Phillips, alias Aaron Crowder, died suddenly in the Ohio Penitentiary, at Columbus, on Friday lost, having been a prisoner in that in• stitution for the last twenty-seven years. Crow der, as he was called, was tried in Hamilton, But. ler county, in 1831, for killing a man in a drunken frolic, convieted of murder in the second degree, and genial:toed to the penitentiary for life. Ito was a stout, powerful, energetic man, and for seventeen years was remarkable for the east amount of labor he performed in the service of the State. Around the body of the corpse, was found a thick heavy leathern bolt, in which was contained, one hundred and sixty half dollars and forty-six cents in silver change. The belt and the money must have weighed, at least, tenlouncls. The poor old fellow, had carried this load about him oonetantiy for years, for fear of being robbed. Ile bad six pistols en his possession of Ins own manufacture, curiosi ties, as giving evidence of his mechanical skill. In addition to these rude weapons he had con stantly standing behind his cell door a gun, th'e barrel of which was made of nearly six feet of gas pipe, upon which he relied mainly to defend him self and his property from the attacks of robbers. lie had run any amount of bullets, but as he had no moans of procuring powder his ammuniton was rather harmless. He was born in Virginia, in 1801, and died December 18th, 1857. Nothing is known of his early history. The Richmond Dispatch Bays the bronLe statues of Patrick Henry and Jefferson are begin ning to assume a dark and weather-beaten look, looking more like gigantic Sepoys than civilised white Americans. The same paper says that CraN4- ford left at his death directions for restoring the color of the statues. It is estimated by those having the best opportunity ofjudging that sixty thousand persons have emigrated from Ohio to lowa and other west ern States, during the last four years. Mr. A. D. Gilbert, a well known citizen of New Orleans, was killed a few days since, near that city, by a tree fulling on him, while giving some directions to his wood-choppers. THE COURTS.

Cross-examined by Mr Bennett.—l first be came acquainted with Miller in 1856; I was introduced to him by Mr. Bowyer, in October, 1856 ; Miller kept his °Time in Library street, No. 4, on the second floor; I bought thousands of dol lars' worth of tickets from Bowyer ; I sent persons to buy lottery tickets at Miller's offico—a person named Foster. The reason I did not go myself was because I did not know Miller. Foster occupiel an office on the corner of Library street. I did not see Miller over sell any tickets; when I called there afterward I saw Mr. Miller and another person; they had their hats on, and seemed to bo at home, I had all these schemes and tickets before the Al derman, and showed them there; I don't know any person of the name of Reed; I never told Mr. Reed that I wanted $5,000 to settlo this mat ter; I never said anything about settlement to any one.

Ito-examined—The person named Foster who bought the tickets from Miller, brought in the numbers I asked for; the Delaware lottery is drawn twice a day. The scheme is headed s2o,ooo—and shows what each number draws. The prosecution hero closed, and Mr J. D. Bennett opened brielly for the defence, by stating that this was a prosecution for the bases: and. most sordid purposes, and that the prosecutor, as would be shown by the witnesses fur the defence, offered to settle this case if the defendant would pay him $5,000. _ . John S. Reed, sworn fur the defence—l kook the prosecutor; have known him since last spring; first became acquainted with him at Alderman Thompson's office; I think I had a conversation with the prosecutor after the case had been got through; he said he was satisfied Miller had tickets, but that ho would not say anything more about it; I met him in Market street, and he said he woe sorry that title matter was not settled with Miller, that ho would have settled it once for $5,000, but now he would make. hiinpay $15,000. Cross.ozatnined by Mr. Guillou—l reported this conversation to Mr. Miller in my storo a few daya after; I was in Mr. Miller's office 801110 time in Librarystreet, but I do not know when; there was no other person present at this conversation with Erwin; I have known Miller about eight years; he lives in Camden; ho has a sign at his place in Camden on which there is " Noto and Bill Broker ;" ho had a place in Third street, where ho did busi. nest us a note broker.

William Fairholler, sworn—l never saw Ervin until I cow him at Alderman Thompson's office; while we were walking up to the office he said this thing might have been all quashed it the parties had given him 55,000; that he had lost $15,000 by these parties Cross-examined—l got the narrant, under which I arrested Mr Ervin, from Mr. Miller. I arrested Ewin alter ho came out of Alderman Thompson's office. I think ho said if Mr. Miller hail given him, at the time ho first called upon him $5,000, we would not have brought any prose cution The case here closed upon both sides, and after counsel in the MO addressed the jury, Judge Alli. son charged them very impartially . on tho law-- and directed them to bring in their verdict this morning.

Police Items.—Before Alderman Devlin yesterday morning, a man named Lawrence Outgun was charged with committing a violent as. seult and battery on Barney Queen. Prom the evidence it appears that the defendant had manu factured a slung shot by tying apiece of brick in a handkerchief , and meeting Queen in Mas ter street, Seventeenth ward, struck him over the head, knocking him down and injuring him se verely. The wooed was committed in default of $2,900 bail to answer. to an old house on Germantown avenue, oppo site Chilton avenue, in the Twenty-second ward, resides a family by the name of Boomer. Both Mr. Boomer and his " better half" are extremely fond of the " ardent," and occasionally get an a grand spree. On these occasions various threats are made, knivea flourished, and considerable fighting goes on, and they all result in the part les being locked up in the station house. An evening or two since, the male Boomer threatened to blow up the house. To carry his threat into execution, he obtained some thirty pounds of gunpowder, and filling a keg about half full, be placed it under the bed. Tho remainder he deposited in a bag, and left it in another portion 'of the room. Another occupant of the house, seeing something mysteri ous going on, Galled in the police, and Mr. Boomer and his lady were marched off to the station house. They received a formal introduction to Alderman Gibson, and obtained a permit torspend a few days in Moyamenaing prim. Between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning, the dwelling of Mrs. liaes, at the North east corner of Poplar and ilutehinson streets, in the Twentieth Ward, wee entered from the rear. The burglars were heard by Mrs. Naas, after they had worked their way through two doors. She gave the alarm and the scoundrels retreated, leav ing behind thew a brace and bit, in their hurry to bo off. Early on Sunday morning, as Officer George W Nice was passing the corner of Front and Otter streets, Sixteenth Ward, he heard a disturbance in a room occupied by a so-called library associa tion. Ile stepped !nand arrested two of the par ticipants, and took them to the station house. Their names are Daniel Rein and Michael McCol gen The officer then went out on his beat. A brother of McColgan, named Thomas, obtained an iron bar and took it to the station house, for the purpose of prying open the windows. Finding the bars too strong for him he started to return home and en the way met officer Nice, whom he struck a violent blow on the head with the iron, felling him to the ground The rascal then beat the offi cer a number of times over the bead, inflicting wounds from which his recovery is considered doubtful The assailant was arrested, and after a bearing before Alderman Devlin, was commit ted to await the result of Nice's injuries. Yesterday morning, about two o clock, as officer Daily was passing along Fifth street, above Brown, he discovered two negroes endeavoring to effect an entrance into the residence of H. (lerker. The burglars discovered the officer and took to their heels ; he followed after them in hot pursuit. but they finally made good their escape by running through dark courts and alleys. Domestic Architecture. The magnificent stores, factories, banks, insurance offices, de., of our city are certainly something to be proud of. Wo have factories which resemble baronial castles, and jobbing houses where the sale and counting rooms, brilliant in the appliances of luxury and the decorative arts, welcome buyers from all parts of the Union. We owe much of our architectural improvement to the introduction of brownstone, which, being cheaper and easier to work than marble or granite, induced much display in build ing fronts not otherwise probable. That the city has very greatly benefited by the change is indis putable, and though at first the material alluded to encountered a whir-spread Philadelphia preju dice, caused by our traditional love of bright brick and white marble, it has fairly won its way into general appreciation. The Palladian and Byzantine styles are tee peculiar glories of brown stone. The west-end is fast becoming magnificent with them. In the United States the word palace is never applied to any building public or private, but some of the largest mansions of our fashiona ble touters will now vie with the piazzas of the Italian cities. Camden and Gloucester County Almshouse.— At the present date there are one hundred and forty inmates at this institution, the majority of whom are males. This is the largest number that has been in this almshouse for five years past. The poor-housea everywhere, at this season, con tain an unprecedentedly large population, and eonsequently need a better support than hitherto. The Moakley Minato:me, in West Philadelphia, is crowded to its utmost capacity, and yet it has been proposed to Councils to reduce the amount of ap propriation for its expenses for the ensuing year. ouch action certainly cannot molt advantage. ously. On the contrary an increased expenditure of money for 1858 is absolutely necessary. Sudden Death.—Coroner Fenner held an in quest, yesterday morning, upon the body of a child named Annie Josephine fitontonia, aged two years and seven months, who died suddenly at the resi dence of its parents, No. 16 Bedford street, Fourth ward. The child had been in good health until Sunday evening, but was taken ill (Win& the night, and before a physician could be obtained, died. The jury rendered a verdict of death from causes unknown. Fire.—An alarm of fire about half-past twelve o'clock ye3terday morning, was caused by the burning of the wood-work of the closet of a house, in a court running east from St. John street, above Callowhill. The fro was probably occasioned by children who were playing with matches. The loss was trifling. The occupant was Jere miah McCarthy. Rewarded.- In THE Pares of yosterday, we stated that one of the carriers of this paper dis covered and extinguished a fire in a lumberyard, in the southwestern part of the city. The office in which the lumber is insured, yesterday morning determined to sive the carrier a substantial re ward for the good service which he had performed. A New Fire Badge.—The members of the Hibernia Engine Company have adopted a neat silver badge to be worn at fires by those who are unequipped. It is solid silver, oval In shape, and embellished with a spread eagle in the centre. On the band is the name of the company and the date of its organization, 1752. Special Meeting of Councils.—Both branches of City Councils will bold special meetings this af ternoon at three o'olook. The appropriation bills to the different departments for 1858, and other equally important business, will no doubt be taken up for consideration. The Pennsylvania Dragoons met last evening at 7 o'clock at their armory, corner of Green lane and Ridge road They went through a most ex cellent drill under their Captain, Charles F. Jones The Inauguration.—The Black Huzi.ara, Captain Beekert, numbering seventy-five men, design visiting Harrisburg on the tcoasion of tho inauguration of Governor Packer. CITY POLICE—DzcEmsEt 2S CORING k CHRIST:4AS DIN:CI:R.-31M Ann Jane Doyle, who resides in South Eighth street, pro cured at a moderate price, a good-sized goose for the Christmas dinner of herself and two boarders. These boarders are Richard Barnes, (who has his carpenter shop just back of Mrs. Doyle's house,) and his apprentice, Alonzo Smith. Their eyes fastened with an extatic gnse on the smoking fowl, as it was placed on the table ; for as Smith ma liciously stated. a geed dinner is seen at Mrs. Doyle's as seldom as Christmas itself. The land lady invited Mr. Barnes to carve the goose, having hod too much experience in the process of cooking it, to attempt the task herself. Barnes sharpened the carving-knife and hewed away until his brow was covered with perspiration. Then he paused to take breath, took off his coat and renewed the struggle to dismember the antiquated gander. At length, with the air of a man whose brain has sud denly been illuminated by some grand idea, he laid down the knife, went out to his !hop in the rear of tho boarding house and quickly returned with a hand-saw, whose teeth, like those of the banqueters, were all on edge " Quietly placing one hand on the refractory goose, Mr. Barnes brought the saw to bear upon it with all his energy, and the prospect of victory now appeared quite flattering But there was something in this proceeding which excited the indignation of Mrs. Doyle, who impatiently ex claimed . ‘• Do you pretind that ilegant goose is w) tough that it has to bo sawed hke a piece of timber, in stead of being cut up nately, as any Christian fowl ought to be r' "Tough"' exclaimed Barnes, "why it's so old that it might have been—" •• It might have been your own grandfather, Pink Berne+, and had luck to ye ; for 113 one of your own kindred," angrily interrupted the land lady. liens she endeavored to dreg the bird aw.iy from Barnes, who not only held on, but ungallantly dealt her a slap on the side of the face with the flat of the EMT Partiogon her audacious boarder. Mrs. Doyle wreectiut the caw from his grasp, clubbed the handle, Lind gat him emirs rather se vere whacks on the heed and face with this sin gular weapon The youthful Alonzo Smith, in the meanwhile, had seized the goose with both hands, and was gnawing away on it with all the force of hie jaws, regardless of the fearful conflict raging around him. While struggling to regain pos session of his saw, Barnes upset the table, and fell among the fragments of crockery ware, dragging his landlady down with him, to grace his fall and make the ruin glorious." The amount of damage in broken queensware. plates and dishes is not estimated ; hut Mrs Doyle, when she made her complaint, appeared to be mete concerned on account of the injury done to her beauty by the hand-saw, the teeth of which robbed her delicate nose of some of its skin, and made several other unsightly excoriations on her coon• tenanee. Barnes was bound over.

The total capital of the eighty-five English fame which had fallen between the 7th of September and the 12th of November, was stated in Parlia ment to hare exceeded £42,000 000 etesling. When to this is added the numerose fails:ma that bare occurred since November Ilth in England. and the losses occasioned by the corresponding break•np of credit rand besinem on the Continent, we may well doubt the great good laid to hare been effected by allowing the Bank of England to violate the act of Fitt, and to question whetheir the benefits malting from that measure have mot loess rather confined to the tummy, than extended to eredit and commerce. It L true that the rush at the bank km emend, but the demands of five hundred millions of dol lars of capital for aid have been withdrawn by reason of failure, and all the markets, except the stock exchange, tell a tale widely diferen• from the story of great improvement. The rotten market throughout manifests a most dull and gloomy aspect; prices declining and sales limited to the most pressing wants of spinners. The Blanchester markets were lifeless, prizes for every description of goods and yarns tending down wards. Wool and iron were equally depressed. Nothing was doing in provisions; bacon lower; lard quite neglected ; groceries of all kinds fall ing; and everything in the grain markets un saleable, except at lower rates. With them published accounts of matters and things over the water, and the private letters which represent them in a still more unfavorable light, if possible, it is not strange that our own markets and the stock exchange show deep depres sion, and that ant even the receipt of two millions of treasure, by the Northern Light, from Califor nia, suffices, to give monetary affairs a more cheer ful aspect. The appointment of a committee by Parliament to examine into the operation of the act of 1844. will probably result as the last similar appointment did, in no change of that enactment It is ear tainly a very pertinent inquiry, however, whether the immense financial intereets of the Britiah pab lie are to remain ender the control of an inatitn lion, for whose government a law exists, to be sure, bat exist/ in such a manner that Qom whom it governs know that when an emergency arises it will not be pat in practice. The practical working of this famous law would add another to the well known comic illustration of the old adage, "The law binds, and the law looses." It has also been well asked if the British people are prepared to have such law in force, with the power of dispensing with its provisions subject to the discretion or the arbitrary will of the minister of the day. Buell responsibility and power should never be entreated to the hands of any man. The bank ought never to be allowed to break the law with Impunity; mad no man with human passions, human feelings or subject to the influences of nit-interest, or the flat tery or persuasion of interested friends, is it to be entrusted with the exercise oil a power which ,by being withheld, may bring slain to rivals, and by being precipitated may bring aid to friends and supporters, but being in any way exercised, can not fail to bring law into contempt. It is in this that the wisdom of the uniform bankrupt law recommended by President Bucha nan, is pre-eminently manifested. It is a just law; it bears with equal prnantre upon all; it is a Law Which cannot be evaded with impunity; which those subject to it know to be Irrevocable, and the Penalties of they which will be careful not to War. Stale laws maybe broken, and facile Governors be persuaded to convene extra seedcase of Legisla tures and press relief laws, but an act of Congress violated, brings a certainty of punishment which the offender will fear too much to incur volunta rily. We hope that this subject will not be allowed to rest, and that our National Legislature will enact a summary law for suspending banks, which shall show the world that, however laws may be set aside for the convenience of financiers in England, it is our fixed intention that oar paper circalation shall be at all times convertible into gold and sil ver, or that those who make it shall be deprived of the power of so doing. The Treasury Department. under direction of the President of the United States, has fixed the rate of interest to be borne by the first issue of Tres eury notes, $6,000,000, at three per met_ per an num ; the notes to run forone year, bat receivable at all times in payment of customs and other pub lic dues, with the accumulated interest calculated to the day of payment. The notes will be of the denomination of $lOO, $5OO, and $l,OOO. They will not be fully prepared for distribution until about the 15th of January ; but meanwhile par ties desiring to hare them, can deposit the money in advance with the Sub-Treasurer, and take from him a certificate of such deposit, as duly autho rized by the Government, which will stipulate to have the notes, when delivered, carry interest fiorn, the date of deposit. The New York Tim,. says: We have seen a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, which states that an offer was made to him at Washing ton, intake the whole $6,000,000 at a fraction over 3 per cent., which was declined, not only from Its being beyond the limit of interest fixed, but from the inexpediency of placing the whole amount un der the control of one individual. The interest due January Lit, on the Mortgage Bonds of the Allegheny Valley Railroad - Cum. puny, will be paid at the office of E. S. Whelan Co.. of this city. The coupons due January Ist, on the Allegheny City Bonds, will by paid at the efEee of Work, Yoang k MeConeh, in this city.
