In this speech he first applies him self to, business. Taking up the subject 'of the ratification of laws, Governor Packer expresses his opinion that it is an absolute duty that the Ere entire shall'aign cir veto all bills Submitted to him, -within ten days from presentation. It has occa sionally been the practice of some of our Gover nors heretofore to refuse to sign, and to refuse to veto, bills sent them. Under the Constitution such bills become laws after the expiOnion of ten days.

FROM WASHINGTON. Spain and 'No.:lca—Kansas Alfairs—Supreme Court—Paclito Rallroad;a.c. YirApIINOTON, January 24, 1858 - Most noteworthy of the latest news from Europe and the Pacific, is the hostile attitude assumed toward each other of the imbeoile Governments of Spain and Mexico. Both heavily In debt, neither with harmony in its internal administration, with civil war and decay sinking both into _a, sos.l - an& with nothing but a deep-rooted faith in a Christian religion saving them from en abjeot condition too horrible to think of, they rush info a fight where each will loss all and can possi bly gain nothing. Itearn that it is beyond conjecture, that so soon as open hostilities have commenced'orowds of or ganised. volunteers will pour into Mexico from Texas and California, not so much to assist in the defence of our helpless neighbor - , as to soles the opportunities which will be presented for the grati fication of filibuster propensities. Who earl conceive what enormities will be com mitted against the 'Government of General Per galore for the measure of Colonel Crabbe and his followers at Caverea ? In peaeeful times the Con federacy, with dissensions fanned into a flame of civil earnage, could hardly defend her interior, not to speak of her distant States, and in times of war how much less able she will be to protect either. But the Administration of Mr. Buchanan, I am led to believe, will hold the reins of Government bore with a firm hand, and, as in the ease of Gen. Walker, prevent, by °yeti , means afforded it un der the Constitution and the laws, the breaking of our faith with neighbors, however weak and prostrated. Watchfulness is necessary not only for this, but that In the tumult of clashing arms the interests and rights of the citizens and the Government of the United States shell be protected to the fullest extent where they may be involved. And the great principle of President Monroe must not be infringed upon by the grasping avarice of Europe an nations which seek to encircle the globe with a cordon of their power. is for considerations like these that the Ad ministration neat about for competent, successors of Mr. Forsyth at Mexico and Mr. Dodge at Madrid. Too many interests are involved, too many powers Imposed, fora light selection. As yet, many have been named, but there has beon no appointments, though it is expected these_will be sent to the Senate during this week. It is stated that to-morrow the President will give in a special massage on Kansas affairs. lam not able to say what will be its recommendations, hut only that the impression is it will not go to the extent of giving the Lecompton regency more than a lukewarm approval—" damning it," indeed, " with faint praise." Those who hold the same views with Judge Douglas and Governor Walker 'are anxious for a speedy settlement of the Kansas controversy, and, as the debate on the subject will go on in both houses from to-morrow, it ia probable that they will agree upon some common plan of adjustment which, white securing the expression of the will of those to bo affected by it, will also secure a fair admission of this long- disputed Territory as a State into the Union. The Committee on Motions were in session all day yesterday on the Maryland contested-election case of Brooks against Davis, and the Ohio eon tested-eleetion ease of Valiandigham against Campbell. It seems that while the latter parties wore taking testimony, Campbell made the propo sition that they should agree to an extension of time for the taking of testimony, which was de clined by Vallandigbani, who,, however, proposed that they should go before the people for another elation, which, in turn, was declined by Campbell. Mr. Campbell asked the committee for a con tinuance, end that the House should be requested is grant further time for taking testimony, for the reason that, being chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means at the last session, he was unable ' togive the Contest his attention, within the sixty daft prescribed by the election law, And also that nearly all of that time was occupied by the con testant. Mr. Vallandigham objected, that the Hitting member had been neglectful, and that by his ab- Benet he had delayed the committee for mote than a month. The committee, by their chairman, Mr. Harris, of Illinois, will report the application of Mr. Campbell for continuance, with the recommenda tion to the House that it shall be refused. Tn the care of Brooks against Davis, the com mittee were divided as to whether the contestant was included in the law of 1851, and should pro ceed to take testimony in this contest with the sit ting member : at his own expense, keying dis claimed any claim to the seat, and avowed his aim to be the purity of the ballot-box in the district of which ho was a voter. The House will be sailed upon to decide on the course to be pursued by the committee in this peculiar case.

Flour was in more request, and choice brands rather dearer. Indian Corn, with a very limited demand was a shade lower. We had but a thin attendance at our market to-day, with a very limited business; rather lower prices being accepted for wheat, especially the lower qualities.

The whole of this distance was traversed by the gigantic vessel in a series of short, grinding slips, varying lu length from three to six and a half inches, and taking place at regular intervals of ten minutes or so between each. The amount of pressure exercised by all the hydraulic .machines varied from about 2,000 to nearly 2,500 tone, the Mango, however, showing that the resistance of fered by the ship was rather less than on the previous day. The river tackle was only used to a very . limited extent, but it will, we believe, be brought Into full operation today, when it Is hope I to accomplish some 30 feet or so.

'The — Poliee and Fire alarm Telegraph.— None Miw doubt that the existente of this branch or the Police Deportment is n necessity. It is the mechanical- - eye 'of the system. 'We append the nimaid report of the off:Mont Superintendont,,Mr. William J . Phillipsimailo to Mayor Vans : By the ortlimtnee,l7th March, 1856, the Police and Fire Alarm Toleirraph was organised, and a Superintendent appointed to have charge of the ame, under the direetiorC of the Mayor and too Chief Engineer of the Fire Department,v and in accordance with the reualatiens of the depart ment, 1 herewith present tne second annual report of this arm oe the public aerviee to you es Mayor of the city of Philadelphia. . „ The Pollee and Fire Alarm Telegraph was com pleted in 1856, the first official, mmeage was trans mitted over the wires the 19th of April, 1856, and it has continued without interruption, in success ful operation to the present date. In the successful application of this important improvement, the attention of intelligent end practical operators was indispensable. For the very great encases which has attended its operations. I am indebted to you, air, for the 'valuable and efficientassistants who bath been des tailed from the police force. These officers, for their gentlemanly conduct, and striot attention to their duties, are entitled to and receive my commendations. . The force at present employed in the "Police and Fire-Alarm Telegraph , ' service, exclusive of superintendent and assistants at the central office, is thirty men, stationed as follows: At the first, 600011 d, third:fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth. ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and sixteenth districts, two men each—one for day and ono for night duty. At the fourteonth and fif- teenth districts, one man each. 'ln the central office there are five operatort three :for day, - and two for night duty. There being three dietinot police and six fire telexraph circuits, is less number could not perform the ser vice required. The force thus employed. except the euporin tendan t and assistants, are detailed from the Police Department, and while employed as operators, are nt the same time performing other police duty, their respeotive station-houses. The amount expended during the past year for the maintenance of the "Polio,, and Fire Alarm Telegraph". was the small sum of $645.92. $231.95 of which was for repairs, instruments, and wires, and $413.97 for battery. d append a statement, showing in concise form the amount of business done by this department A careful examination of the figures will show its efficiency as connected with the Police and Firo Departments, and its nsefalness to our citizens, who aro daily using it for legitimate purposes, contemplited in its construction. The whole number of messages transmitted over the wires during the year was (34,207) thirty-four thousand two hundred and seven. The number of lost children restored to their parents was (3,430) three thousand four hundred and thirty. The number of strayed and stolen animals re stored to their owners by means of this depart ment was (884) eight hundred and eighty-four. ' The number of fire-alarms transmitted was (302) three hundred and ninety-two. The Coroner was notified by telegraph (337) three hundred and elghty-seven times. Police officers subisenited by telegraph to appear besot° grand jury and the courts 0381) thirteen hundred and sixty-ono. The importance and necessities of this depart ment ,:erpiire more conveniences than can be sup pliee, in the present location of the central office. It is entirely too small, and inconvenient to citi zens who are in need of, and desire to avail them selves of the purp - se for which it was constructed ; bes'dos, in its present location it interferes with other purposes of the police department. • I respectfully suggest that provisionbe made to remedy this defect. The closing of the station-houses in the 2d, 4tb, 7 th, 11 th, 13th, 1 fdh, 18th wards, whichhas vary ma terially effected the original arrangement of the fire-alarm stations, as wall as the rapidly increae• ing extent of the city, requires, in my judgment, an increase of the number- of fire-alarm signal stations, and I suggest that provision be made to supply the saute. In conclusion, permit mo to express my acknow ledgments to you, sir, for the interest you have manifested in the success of this department of the public service, and also for the courtesy I have re ceived from the various members of the police de partment, with whom official business has brought me in contact. W. J. PIIILLIPS, Superintendent. Thus briefly but pointedly is presented a synopsis of the operations of the municipal telegraph during the past year. As a valuable adjunct to the pro sperity and progress of Philadelphia, our local tele graph cannot be too highly estimated. Wherever and whenever it is introduced, its utility is at ones appreciated end acknowledged. It has prevented much destruction of property by fires. by timely alarms, detected and arrested fugitive criminals, and manifested its many benefits in a thourand different ways. It was, indeed, a great progressive step when it was introduced in this city; and its extension elsewhere. no matter what the pecuniary cost, can but result in incalculable good. Fatal .accident. On Saturday afternoon an accident which resulted fatally morn] at the flour-mills of Rowland & Ervien, on the cad entree(' Street, below Vine. The engineer and fireman were about to arrange a connecting pipe to the blow-out pipe" of the engine, for tho put peac of blowing out the steam from the Viler*, when the lower end of the pine was blorn off, and the full head etj_=team rushed out into the enzine_ seem; Paid RUT', one engtneee, add Arthur Simpson, the fireman, managed tomake their escape from the loom unhurt; but a small boy, a eon of the fireman, who happened to be in the engine room, was instantly killed, having been scalded to death. The Either of the boy returned to the room and .*arched for hit can while the steam was still eseoping, end ho also was very badly plaided. The injured man was taken to his home in Leeks' Court, near the scene of the neebiont, where he was at tended by Dr. Griffith. It is thought he will re- Curer. ' • The name of tbo boy killed was John Simpson; he was between seven and eight years of no. Coroner Fenner held'au inquest in the ease. The witnesses who were examined were of opinion tithe the screw by which the "blow-out pipe" was at tached to the boiler had not sufficient hold. The jury rendered the following verdict: The. de ceased, John Simpson, came to hls death by the blowing off of the blow-pipe attached to the boilers of the flour mill of Rowland b Revlon; said pipe being insecurely attached." The affair caused considerable excitement in the vicinity, and gave rise to numerous rumors of the most exaggerated character. Police Buriness.—There worn but few items of interest at any of the police stations during yesterday. The fallowing comprise nil that is worthy of note in this connection A young man named Ezekiel Corson. alias "Pea Nuts," was before Alderman fines, on the charge of baying forcibly made his escape from an officer on the sth of December. The defendant had been arrested on a warrant Issued by Alderman Clark, which charged hint with an assault and battery, and the robbery of fifty dollars. At Fourth and Noble streets the prisoner was rescued.' The ac cused was 'bold in $BOO to answer the charge of escaping. A young darkey, with a enticle as blank se the ace of spades, and who gave the name of Peter &mere, was before Alderman Eneu on the charge of having stolen some twenty-Ave or - thirty dol lars' worth of cheap jewelry, Iron' the show win dow of the shop of Moyer Fleishur, in South street. Peter, when asked what ho had to say, owned up end told all about it. Ile was sent be low. Thomas and Passmore Williamson were before Alderman Butler on the charge of conspiracy. The complainant, a female, alleges that the defendants entered into a conspiracy to bundle her goods and furniture out of a building, which is disputed pro perty, for the purpose of getting poseeseion of the promises. The defendants were held in We bail each to answer at court. The Philadelphia Banks.—The arrange ments for establishing aclearinghouse in this city, for the daily settlement of balances between the various banks of the city, are progresscitg, and will soon be complete. A committee of bank presidents visited New York and Boston. for the purpose of becoming familiar with the different systems pur sued in those cities. A preference is given to the New York plan, and its principal feature will be pursued. The weekly statements already published have had a good effect on the public confidence, and the whole currency of the State will bo placed at par when the en tire system goes into operation. The city banks are rapidly approaching the condition to warrant a resumption of specie payment. Indeed. so difficulty is experienced at the present time in obtaining gold and silver in sufficient quantities for the purpose of change. In fact, the resump tion may be said to hare commenced, and in the course of a few weeks longer some general move ment will be made upon the aubJect. The public are fully prepared, and not the slightest sensation will be produced. if a formal resumption should take place immediately. Highway Robbery.—About 11 o'clock on Sa turday night, as Mr. J. Gallagher, who keeps a store near Front and Callowhill streets, was passlng the corner of School and Rose streets, in the Six teenth ward, ho was attacked by four mon, one of whom beat him on the head with a slung shot, while the balance stripped his pockets of their contents, consisting of $5, in cold and bank notes, and other papers valued at about $3,000. Information was lodged with Lieut. Spear, and soon afterwards Officers Moore, Mullen, and Denny succeeded In capturing George Buck, Dennis Mahoney, and Robert Squibb. The accused were taken before Alderman Devlin, who committed them to answer. They also took from Gallagher's pocket hi; night key, and proceeded to his house on the German town road, near Second street, but did not succeed in effecting an entrance. The officers are in pur suit of the other parties supposed to be concerned in this affair. new and well.executed twenty-dollar bill on the Southwark Bank has just mode its appear ance in the city. The feat has been telegraphed to the different police station houses in &scordance with a suggestion made some time since in THE lity A S, and storekeepers and others will conse quently be put on their guard. The remarks which we_ made, a week or two ago, on the great pro. prioty ofpolicemen giving information to those on thelr-respective beats of the appearance and de hYritflion of every new counterfeit, havo met with cordial approbation in the right quarter. The chief ,ot police, Samuel ( 1 Ruggles, bee instructed the lieutenants accordingly, and already the bane. ilia of this system have been universally acknow ledged. The Northern frome.—The third lecture of the Rev. Dr. Stevens, on "Sconce in Holy and Classic Lands," delivered by him in aid ef that et eellent charity, The Northern Home for Friend less Children, will be given at Concert Hell, to morrow oocuio • subject, "The Sacred Waters of the Holy Land." We recommend early attendance, as the Hall was filled within twenty minutes after it was opened on the two previous occasions of Dr. S. lecturing. Sabbath School Celebration.—The anniver sary celebration of the o:balers attached to St. An drew's Church, ID Eighth street, below Locust, Rev. Dr. Stevens pastor, took place yesterday af ternoon. The church was densely erowded by thoso who desired to i.articipale the very to resting cureleee. ME 51(1141EY MARKET: POIGADELPRIA, JIM. 23,1855 The high appreciation in which the late Thomas Wickersham, Esq., was held by his naweiates, was attested by the adjournment of the brokers, after tho first board this moncinp, to attend his funeral. Stocks commend fair prices for sound securities, Stare and city loam, favorite banks, and other di vidend.paying corporations, but fancy stooks are in disrepute, and slow of sale. Many of the more reliable kinds of 'lecke are bought for temporary investments, the difficulty of procuring first-class business paper, and the fear as to inferior descrip tions, operating to drive eapital out of the discount houses for the present. There is abundance of money at command for favorite names at eight pet cent. • From the Europran Tunes of January 9th, we learn that the Bank or England has reduced the rate of discount to 6 per cent., and that a further reduction of one per cent. is confidently antici pated. A million sterling, in gold, in said to be on the way from Australia. The bullion on hand is largely in excess of the total in May, 1656, when the rate of discount was reduced to 3 per cent, and nearly equal to the amount in June, 1636, when the rate was brought down to 4+. Oa the stock exchange, loans on Government securities are readily obtainable at 3 per cent. A statement that a bill to authorize The East India Company to raise a loan of six or eight millions would be proposed immediately on the re-assembling of Par liament, had slightly affected the market. 'The discount houses have redwood their rates of allowance for money, at call, from six and a half to four end a half per cent: The Loudon and West minster Bank, have fixed four per amt. for all tinis of £5OO and upward, and three per cent. for lesser amounts. -The London Joint Stock Bank have also fixed four per cent. The same is the case with the London and County as regards all fresh deposits. The Union, Commercial, City, and Bank of London all allow five per cent.

Altered fifty and one-hundred-dollar notes on be S:rondsbnrg Bank, end twenty-doller notes on the Southwark Bank, have been recently pat in circulation. The notes on the Stroudsburg Bank have been made from old plates altered. The , .10s have gods and goddesses for a vignette, with costs of antis on the ends. The 100 s have an eagle for a vignette, and medallion beads on the ends. Three on the Southwark Bank are rather skilful imitations of the genuine note/. There are also counterfeits afloat on some of the Ohio banks-2s altered to 20e. The alterations may be detected on a close examination. The New Orleans papers contain accounts of heavy forgeries committed by a party hitherto in high standing, who, it seems, has absconded. They do not give the name of the guilty man. The cane of his fall is said to have been gambling. John MoDonogh's will, by which the bulk of a large fortune was bequeathed to Baltimore and New Orleans, is likely to produce little benefit to those cities. It appears that cast rams base been expended, or otherwise lost to the cities by litiga tion, while the lands of which the estate principal ly consisted have depreciated in vales to a serious extent. The Crescent thinks that if litigation continues five years longer, the estate will hare eaten Baal up, and the cities' legatees be brought into debt. The New Orleans bank statement to January 19th shows the following aggregates: Jan. 9.

The Boston banks now bold in deposit seventeen and a quarter millions of dollars, en inerea-qa of several millions within a month or two." It would seem from the inaugural address of Governor Banks, that even in Massachusetts, where they have been so long wedded to small-nota circulation, they are beginning to tire of it, and to think that specie, for ordinary transactions, and the payment of wages, would be both convenient and safe. The Governor recommends the passage of a law prohibiting the circulation within the State of notes for five dollars or less. Ile says: "It is estimated that the amount in simulation in the 'Molted States, in the form of hills of five dol lars and less sums, is nearly fifty million dollars. So far es the character of the circulation is re turned in the several States, it appears that abou t nineteen per cantata of bank circulation is in bills of less value than five dollars. The =ma propos tivn for the aggregate circulation would be about forty million dollars, and bills of the denomina• tion of five dollars added therete would equal the estimate stated. "The substitution of this amount of gold and silvor in small sums for use in ordinary badness transactions. instead of paper money to the same extent, would confer a lasting benefit. "Gradually applied, firet to bids less than fire dollars, and in a period of three or fire years, to bills of the denominations of five and ten dollars, the change would not injuriously tame any inter est The supply of coin in the country is abun dantly sufficient. It is now not much lees than two hundredacd serenty million dollars. Instead of serving as a measure of value merely, gold is now a staple . produot, and in the next decennial period the tom of this country will equal shot of England or France." nutimanta Erma EXCHAIiaI mu , 7eatuu7 XI, 1868. - JUPOSTSV IT XAMIT, SWOT; It 00.,.11.1.1i !MU, ErnsAsa sultsiro• ImaK/1.11, SOIMVIIIIT masa 711100 IND CHEBTSDI .
