Cambreling's truly wise and democratic Report on Banking aud the Currency and passed the first two sections, which are as follows 1. The legislature shall havo no power to pass any act grant i ing special charters for banking purposes, but asso One great honor belongs to France, that of throwing open her public institutions and her groat collections of works of art, to her own citizens, and to tho world. Hardly a festival day occurs, in which fifty thousand of the lower orders of Paris do not visit and admire her gardens, her paintings, and her Btatuary, to which they are freely get the cloth when ho was told of tho previous ap plication and upon his narrating a straightcr and more satisfactory story ho succeed in obtaining the object of his errand.

Aid. Fowler called up the com. of Messrs Cum mings upon the subject of the bond of tho city for 23,000 issued for Hamilton avenue grading now held by them and due on the. 1st of October Aid F. stated that owing to an error it had been supposed the bond was due on the 18th of October.

As tho amount would be called for upon the 1st, it was necessary to provido means for its payment but ho expressed somo doubts as to whether the bond had not been issued in an illegal maimer, and might perhaps vitiato the taxes for the present year. Ho however ofl'ered a resolution empowering the Mayor and Finance committee to raise tho requisite amount by loan for its payment, and pledge tho taxes of the present year therefor. After some discussion between him and Aid. Gerald, Aid. Rogers moved that the resolution be referred to the Mayor, Counsel, Law and Finance Committees, with power which motion was curried.

Aid. Smith offered a resolution authorising a payment of Leonard Cooper of S2.000, for lumber for City Hall. During its consideration the Board was adjourned, for want of a quorum, until next Monday evening, 5 o'clock. Our FIRST PJIOF. to dttn has one of Uf 'Jwil poetical effusions published for many years it wilt bear reading several times over fJlso the continuation of fVko Governs, then American Editing ami editors.

It is a singular fact that while the people of tho United States are a newspaper ruled people, wo have in reality few, we may almost sav no, news papers that approach even in tho neighborhood of perfect specimens of their kind. Wo have little fino, hearty, truthful writing in our papers. We have, (it must bo from want of public encouragement,) little high toned gcntlemanliiiess or elegance little politeness, even. Perhaps, however, the want of the refinements of writing in our daily prints is not so strange as the want of depth, force, power, and solidity. The American people aro intellectual in a high degree their brains are clear, and their penetration caglc eycd.

Why then, docs not the press which asks their 'patronage present something like the food wo might reasonably suppose would be "craved by such a mental appetite as conies from a healthy intellectual digestion Why are our editors so flippant, so superficial, so vague and verbose? do they so rarely bring what they write to bear on the light of great principles and truths? Tho answer to such inquiries we give in tho words of one whoso name we cannot state but whose opinions show him to be a person well aware of the evil, and of how it ought to be remedied It is because so low a standard has been established in regard to the efforts of editors, that so few men of tho strongest jutellect and character have desired it, that they have sought distinction in other vocations, less influential, but supposed to be more honorable. It is because society has not required more, that more has not been done. Its treatment of journalists has boon singularly unhappy. They aro what it has made them they fall short of tho loCty dignity of their station, because society has fallen short in its demands. Johnson, in his prologue, says that those who live to please, must pleuso to This has unfortunately been the case with the press.

It has been regarded as a mere agent for pleasing society, and therefore it has aspired to no higher function. It has failnd to perceive its real nature it has failed in asserting its claims it has failed in discharging its duties as an instructor it has failed in becoming the moral power of tremendous force of which it is capable. But its conductors arc not so much to blame for this, as its patrons, as they are called, tho public. True, it has been courted by some, and feared by others courted by the ambitious and fear ed by the timid: yet, while courted and feared, it has been neglected and despised. Very little discrimination has marked the public judgment of its character.

So long as it could be made to administer to prevailing prejudices, so long as it could be turned to the purposes of party, so long as it lent itself to the causo of demagogues, so long and no longer has it met with favor. Discerning, genuine, and hearty approbation for independence, integrity, and talent, it has seldom received. A sort of doublo and inconsistent conduct has been expected of editors. While they have been solicited to furnish aid to all kinds of partial schemes, they have been blamed for a want of fidelity to principle while the whole strength of immense parties is brought to bear upon them to secure their aid or crush their opposition, they have been derided for suppleness of purposo and pliancy of doctrine while every man who has an object to accomplish, besets them with seductions, and promises of reward, the)' have been scorned for venality and time serving. A high, unvarying moral test has never been applied to them.

When a man of lofty faith and stem virtue has arisen among there, when he has manifested a disposition to discuss questions in tho light of great principles, when ho has refused to listen to the whispers or move at the beck of cliques and factions, when he has regarded politics as the most important aspect of morals, and sought to acquit himself of the duties of his calling, with a nice regard to truth and conscience, how has he been received by the community As a worthy, noble, fearless man? As a patriot who deserved well of his country? As a Christian filled with a Btrong sense of the responsibilities of human existence Far otherwise. Hostility and contenint often have been his solo rewards. His professed friends have dropped away from him his enemies have redoubled and sharpened their abuse a strong public opinion is aroused against him and the end of it is, that he is compelled, from the want of support, to relinquish his pursuit, and seek in sonic other less congenial employment, tho means of subsistence and profit. Can we forget tho career of the lamented Leggett There was a man, who, during one of the most excited and interesting periods of our political experience, pursued a lino of determined and intrepid honesty. A course of corrupt legislation, openly defended by one party, aud connived at by a large portion of the other, had fastened upon tho people a system of finance and banking, which was fast destroying their liberties aud morals.

Tho firm old soldier statesman, who was then tho President, more sagacious than many of bis supporters, more honest than any of his opponents, had given the first blow in a work of revolution. After a long and desperate coutest, he succeeded. Yet it was only a partial success. Mr. Leggett, who had stood side by side with him in tho trying position of the fight, saw, even in tho moment of victory, that the triumph was not completely achioved.

The enemy who had been overcome by tho energios of tho General acting in his strength under the protection of nearly all the individual Slates. That enemy, ho conceived, was to be attacked iu his strong holds there instant to his convictions of duty, ho began a vigorous assault neither timidity on one hand, nor jicrsccution on the other, could in d'i him to soften his ponderous blows; day after day, he aroused the public miud with discussions full of strong thought and eloquent invective. I can jjot said he, tor tho sake of a livelihood, trim my sails to suit the varying breeze of popular prejudice." With old Andrew he cout'mued, I prefer to scrapo a blade bone of cold mutton in defence of truth, to faring sumptuously at the cost of principle' And what was the result? Desertion and poverty for tho time to bo followed, when he should be cold in his grave, with monumental honors and heartfelt eulogy." New York Common Council. At the meeting last Might, permission was granted to the Union Ferry Company to run a boat to tho foot of Hamilton ayenue, Brooklyn. Also a resolution to offi tbo hospitalities of the city, to Mr.

Tho legislature shall havo no power to pass any law sanctioning in any manner, direct or indirect, tho suspension of specie payments, by any person, association or incorporation issuing bank notes of any description" Thcro are four other sections equally radical' and equally needed with the above two which two were passed, the first 75 to 1, and tho second 56 to 31. American arms triumphant General Kearney in Possession of Santa Fc.

Tho telegraph announces that the St. Louis Re publican learns from a gentleman from Independence that a traveller who had arrived thero fell in with an express from Gen. Kearney. He has entered Santa Fc and taken possession of tho country without opposition. Governor Armijo was still thero All remained quiet at Nauvoo.

The place was nearly deserted. Mormons wero arriving at St. Louis in a state of starvation, having fled from Nauvoo without bringing with them any means of support. Maine Election. We triumph still There is little doubt but the Democrats will have a majority in both branches of the Legislature ana elect their Governor.

The majority of the Democratic over the Whig candidato will be over 5,000 but the scattering votes will prevent a choice by tho people. One Whig and two Democrats elected to Congress, and four vacancies. Tho Portland Argus says In addition to tiio 41 Democrats reported yesterday, as elected to the House, wo report this morning three additional in Lincoln county, aud one in Somerset making 45 to tho Whigs 33. It is very doubtful whether tho Whigs and Abolitionists havo carried a Senator hi York, after all. Distress of the E.

migrating Mormons. The St. Louis Republican of tho 21st says: Wo have tho most dismal account of tho condition of the Mormons who undertook to emigrate to California, but stopped at a place agreed on between them and Col. Allen, when the latter was desirous of raising a battalion of infantry from among them. They were to locale on tho Piatt river, and there to remain for an indefinite period of time.

They attempted to raise a crop for their subsistence, but failed to do so, and havo abandoned tho Platte, and aro now at BcJlivuo, on the Missouri river, near tho Council Bluffs. They arc said to bo in a starving condition, and nothing but the aid of the government during tho coming winter, will savo man of them from death. President Polk, it is understood, some time ago dispatched an agent to their camp, to inquire into their condition probably with a view of granting them some relief and he is said to have returned to this city on the Gen. Brooke. Murder trials in Greene co.

In the pending session of the Greene co. Oyer and Terminer, Perez Hitchcock was indicted for the murder of his father John Hitchcock, iu the town of Wyndham on tho 20th day of May last. The evidence against the prisoner was his own avowal, accompanied by protestations that the fatal blow was given during tho progress of an affray, and circumstantial evidence corroborating this declaration. The prisouer was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, and sentenced to State Prison for life Before the same tribunal Patrick Flynn was found guilty of murdering Robert James, iu the town of Durham, on the 14th of August. James was a drover, and Flynn was in his employment.

James had sold somo cattle, and was on his way home with the money, between $300 and $400, when he was shot and robbed by Flynn. Judge Edmonds presided at the trial. Flynn is to be executed on the 19th of Food stuff still going to England.

The editor of the Chronotype says he believes ho is the poorest man in Massachusetts, which we are sorry to hear but with a contemporary, wo would rather havo his wealth of wit than be the richest man iu Massachusetts without it." Fair of the American Institute. The Nine teeuth Annual Fair of the American Institute will open next week at Castle Garden this change of place having been rendered necessary by the late destruction of the buildings at Niblo's. Tho great tannery of Gilman So Healcy, in China, Maine, one of tho largest establishments of the kind in the Stato, was destroyed by firo on Friday even ing week.

We learn that Coronci Brown of Williamsburgh held an inquest upon the body of John Carrigan, who was found dead at South Brooklyn under circumstauces leading to the supposition that he had been murdered. Tho probability as to tho causo of death appeared to bo that tho deceased wandered forth from his home in an inebriated condition, fell from a small elevation upon a mass of rocks, and died from the injuries thus received. The verdict of the jury was, we learn, that tho deceased came to his death from causes unknown. ICT We call attention to tho sale of 25 lots of the Johnson Property at the 4th ward of this city, to be held to morrrow at noon at the Merchants' Exchange (see advt. of Jas.

Cole.) This property is in a most rapidly growing part of the city, and that offered on Myrtle avenue is especially valuable. The completion of the City Hall the contemplated new ferry tbo business character tho avenuo has already assumed, and the convenience of tho omnibus route, will render this as valuable for a permanent investment as any property that can be bought in Brooklyn. This sale, we understand, will bo positive.

n24 tf AilitiY'S TOSH! MIXTUStE OR Cm pound Fluic Extract of Cinchona Jiubra, a Vegtta. blc Febrifuge in the trcament of FEVER J1JVD JiQUE. Tho proprietor, in ofl'erinp this valuable Tonic Mixture to the public as a safe and etticient remedy in the treatment of Fever und Ague, would remark, thai no ingredient is used deleterious to the human system, it being entirely a vegetable compound, and may be used with perfect safety by weakly people to invigorate the system und strengthen and give tone to the stomach. In all complaints arising from a morbid or debilitated system, female wcukness, it will be found admirably adapted. But its most reinarka uble good effects will be observed in the cure of the Fever nnd Ague, exhibited by not only eradicating the disease, but effectually removing all predisposition to it.

This additional virtue will be duly appreciated by those who have suffered under second attack of Ibis distressing complaint, and it is nf itself a recommendation sufficient to prove its superiority over all remedies in present use. CERTIFICATES. 1 take pleasure in stating to the public the good effects I have experienced from the use of Bailey's Tonic Mixture, for the cure of Fever and Ague. In the full of 1839, 1 was attacked with tho Fever and Ague, und it continued on me nearly two years. I at last dispaired of ever being cured of it I used Townsend's Tonic Mixture which only relieved me for a short time then the disease would return on me again.

My constitution which had heretofore been strong and athletic, had now from the etleets of the disease become very much debilitated, nnd I found myself in rather a discouraging situation. My constitution was utmost broken down, my phys iciun could not help me, and all the remedies I hud used did me no good, until I found Bailey's Tonic Mixture, which 1 had recommended to me, and I am happy to be able to say that In the space of four weeks, I was eatlrely cured, and although another your has passed away since I took the medicine, still 1 have hud no return of the disease. I feel mvsi If entirely cured of the disease and all preillsposition to 1 BARNEY MELBONE, 55 Honry st.

He became ardently attached to a young lady of great moral worth and large fortune, and had proposed marriago but she utterly refused to marry him, and dismissed him altogether as a suitor, which threw him into a desponding state. In this state he left his parents, house and came to N.
