Brooklyn Daiig Omgle. SAXUROAV EVESINfii MAltCSI 15. The Sub Treasury. We spoke the otbordav of the salutary influencu which the independent treasury was exerting, in these times of over actiou, to keep the balance wheel steady, and preserve tho mercantile ma chinery in a sound and healthy condition. This subject is worth dwelling upon for a few Jn 1837, when we were suddenly overtaken by one of those sweeping commercial revulsions which constitute an era it) a century, the money of the government was treasured in certain "pet as they twere reproachfully called and when a balance was run up against us abroad, and all of the specie was trundled out of the banks and shipped for London to pay interest on the vast ac cumulation of railroad bonds, city bonds, State bonds, bank bonds, fec, there was no remedy against a universal failure of ilie bans, or, what is the same thing, universal suspension of specie payments.

The niillious of the government had only served to stimulate the muiiy expansions of the times, and to madden the fever cf speculation while they remained on deposite; aDd alter the suspension, they were nowhere save iu tho dishonored promises of broken institutions. This element of mischief has ceased to exist, or rather has been converted into au element of safety. Under the present arrangement it seems quite impossible for the money of the country to slip away as suddenly as it did in '37. Then the heavy amounts of bonds which had been 9old abroad were returned to us in merchandise so that the importations of '36 were vastly larger than they had ever been before and (he duties being increased in the same proportion were poured into the coffers of the banks to stimulate still further the dangerous over action of which they were the cause and iho victims. The government tried to get rid of its money by giving away some $40,000,000 to the States but this did not remove the cause of mischief, though it spread it over a wider field.

The increase of banks, the extension of business, the vast operations of the government, all contributed to blow up ihe bubble, till it became so attenuated as to.burBt. Should there bo a tendency, as we suppose there is now, to the same course of events, the Independent Treasury must prove to be a most salutary check. Under its operation a heavy run of inipor tations begets a tightness in the monetary circles and reminds the banks of the necessity of being prudent. The money for duties being payable only in specie, is drawn from the viultsof the banks to go into the great fob" of the treasury, where no checks or orders can reach it, but where it must remain till it is paid out to the government creditor in the natural course of business. The effect for the moment may be precisely the same as if the money had been shipped off to Kurope but it dif fers in this, that the banks know where it is, what cuiount there is on hand, and about how soon it will work itself out and come back to their embrace.

The sub treasury, therefore, performs in the business world, very much the same duty ns the governor" in a cottou factoiy or machine shop. When the machinery goes rapidly the centrepital force carries out the arms of this instrument, and that motion by an attachment to the steam or the gate shuts off the power and reduces the impetus or going too slow, the arms fall and increase the power, and thus accelerate the movement. In the same way, if the mercantile spindles are moved too rapidly, the specie slides from the banks, into the pocket of the treasury and products a temporary tightness in the money market or if they move too slowly, the money goes out of the treasury faster than it comes in. and thus serves to stimulate the market. Hence the Independent Treasury, from being regarded as an odious incubus on trade as it was when it was first established, is now looked upon by the more intelligent of the merchants and bankers, as a wholesomo producing health and soundness, and making the public funds a means of good, and not a means of eyil to trade and commerce.

Equalizing Taxes. Great complaints have been made for a long time of the irregularity of the valuations for taxes in the different counties of the State. This would be no great matter of public concern if there were no State taxes but, inasmuch as all State taxes are based on these valuations, it will be seen in a moment that those counties which make their valuations at the lowest figure diminish this part of their taxes in the same proportion. To remedy this difficulty a bill has been reported in the Senate making it obligatory that all real and personal estate, liable to taxation, shall be estimated and assessed by the assessors at its full and true value, as they would appraise in payment of a just debt due from a solvent debtor." It also provides that land occupied by a person other than the owner may be assessed to the owner or On the subject of personal property it haa this provision That every person shall be assessed in the town or ward where he resides when the assessment is made, for all personal estate owned by him, including all persoual estate in his possession, or under his control, as agent, trustees guardian, executor or administrator; and in no case shall property so held, under either of these truBts, be assessed against any other person." The bill contains other provisions intended to carry out the object in view, among which is a meeting of the assessors in each county on a given day to hear tho complaints, aDd a power to issue process and compel the attendance of witnesses on auy question of difference. The assessors are also required to swear that they have set down the estimates in the assessment rolls at the sums which a majority of the assessors have decided to bo the full and true value thereof.

Usurv. The Select Committee of the House, of which Mr. Oady, from this county, is Chairman (on the interest of money), not long ago reported bill providing that in any action for the recovery of money in which usurious rules of interest have been agreed upon between the part ius, the defence of usury shall not lie, but the plain tiff may recover the amount due with lawful interest but if it shall appear that the defendant has tendered the plaintiff his money, with lawful interest, before tho bringing of the suit, all the costs shall be thrown on the plaintiff. This bill passed the Assembly but has been amended in the Senate so as iu provide that if the prosecution takes place within two years after making the contract the party claiming usury shall forfeit not only 7 per cent, but all interest, and pay the costs of suit. Tho Democracy Awake.

The reception of Senators Cass and Phelps in old Tammany last night a re awakening of the old Democratic fires, and showed something of the old Democratic spirt Senator Cass entered the Hall on the arm of Mr. Strahaii and was re. ceived with applause. When ho took the stand he said in his dry and huu omus way, that if those assembled had heard as much speaking within a short time as he had, they would not be. desirous of hearing any more.

He did not come, he said, for the purpose uf making a he came from a place where there moro words than actious more addresses delivered than there were services rendered to the country. He was tired of talk; but he was gratified at this opportunity to meet his old friends, and he would say so. He was obliged to the Chairman for the flattering complimeuts of his address but took no credit to himself. It was the people who had acted and not Congress. It was not the American Congress which saved the country it never would have been saved by Congress.

It was the voice of the people of the North, South, East and West, burne on every bretze which saved it, and be lore which disunion quailed (Applause.) Touch the Union, fellow citizei and you touch a coal ot fire in the heart of every Democrat. It lives, and it will "live for the good it has done atid is doing, atid, under the providence of God. fur the good which I trust it is destined to do. (Treineudous applause.) He spoke in very severe terms of the foreign emissaries among us who were preaching trcisou, and of those who supported and sustained them in their mischievous work said that the South had been wronged, and that the constitution had not been carried out in the spirit in which it was adopted. He held up the compromise as our only ark of safety.

"It said he, "a common platform on which all Americans cau meet, and should meet, there to agree to protect nnd defend the institutions of their country. What, in God's name, could we gain by the destruction of this government i It is the world'g best hope aye, it is the beacon light of freedom Bhining over the dark and troubled ocean, and iu vitingtbe nations of the earth to a haven of rest and security. (Vociferous applause.) Destroy this confederacy, and liberty is destroyed with it for ever. I trust, therefore, that the American people will arise in their might, and rebuke all attempts at dissolution. It all depends on you it all depends on the American people." Senator Felch, tho colleague of Mr.

Cass, then addressed the audience for a few moments, and then appeared upon the stand, at the call uf the multitude, our old campaigner, Mike Waleh, who declared that bis first, last, and only choice for President in 1851, was Lewis Cass, of Michigan, The meeting was further addressed by Mr. Slrahan and others. Legislature Fkidat. In the Senate Mr. Carroll moved to reconsider the vots rejecting the Anti Rent bill, and the Senate determined to reconsider, and the bill was referred to Senators Schoonmaker, (Ulster) Curtis, (Sullivan) Carrol (Rensselaer) Johnson, (Schenectady); andSnyde (Columbia.) The Literature committee reported favorably on the act to eslaonsn a Board ot Education in VV'illiamsburgh, L.I also reported fuvoraMy of a bill to incorporate the University of Albany also Westminster University, to be erected in the city of buffalo.

Mr. Beelwnan reported favorably on the Aunua Report of the RegentB of the Uuiversity. Mr. Morgau, from the Fmatice committee, reported an important bill making appropriations to Colleges and Medical Institutions. The bill appropriates to Rochester University, 10,000 Genesee College, 10,000 Hamilton College, Madison University, New York University, Geneva College, each 1,500 Central College association, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, Albany Medical Colleges Medical Faculty of the Univerwity ol'New York.

Medical Institution of Geneva College, Medical Institution of Buffalo University, each $1,000. The report accompanying the bill gjves a detailed of the present condition of the general funds of the State. The balance at the end of the present fiscal year is 8,085,858. A bill was passed to change the time for making payments to the Safety Fund which is to be on or before the 31st Dec; also an act to subject certain debts owing to non residents to taxation. This is a very important bill.

Its first section is, "all debts by inhabitants of this State to persons not rcsidiug in the United States for the purchase of any real estate shall be deemed personal property within the town or county where the debtor resides, and shall be liable to taxation in the same manner and to the same extent as the personal estate of Citizens of this State." In the House, the following bills were passed To erect a fire proof Library building. To incorporate the Thistle Benevolent Association of New York. In relation to the Sheriff and Clerk of Kings County. To alter Commissioners' map of Brooklyn To amend the act entitled an act to provide for sick and disabled seamen passed April 22d 1831, and all the acts amendatory of the same. Eor the incorporation of Building and Accumulating Fund associations.

To regulate the rales of wharfage and lighters iu the cities of New York and Broolkyu. To amend the act entitled "Au act to provide for the incorporation and regulation of Telegraph companies," passed April 12,1848. To amend the provision of the Revised Statutes entitled "Of proceedings forthedrainageof swamps, marshes, and other low lands." In relation to the powers of tho late Court of Chancery and Supreme Court in equity in certain cases. TheBc bills, and others which chiefly concern other parts of the State, were passed. Contested Seat in the Senate.

There is to be in the next session of Congress a contest between Mr. Yu'ee (old Senator), and Mr. Mallory (new Senator), for Florida. Mr. Yulee, it seems, was ic elected by a majority of all the members of the Legislature voting, but thero was required a majority of all the menbers elected.

Mr. Yulee denies the validity of Bueh a regulation, and hav. ing first got the majority of those present, deems himself, therefore, elected, and all subsequent ac tion as of uo account. The Westfield, (Maes.) Standard publishes list of 43 pairs of cattle fattened in that town the past season, and owned by ten different persons. Their total weight was 175,631 pounds, or an average of 4084 pounds the pair.

Or. Norlltull's ScconA Lecture. The Doctor delivered his second lecture at the Institute, last night, on "English Country and certainly hn tuok John Bull by tho horns with a familiarity that showed bis perfect acquaintance with the old fellow's peculiarities. A more interesting lecture, cr one better adapted to suit the taste of a popular audience, could not be delivered by Mrs. Caudle herself, even behind the cmtaiu while some of his anecdotes were of laughable a character that many of tlm ynuug ladies were forced to pay open tribute to old Mourns, by laughing outright in spite of their teeth." He gaye a most graphic sketch of tho village of Tin bury, situated on either side of the "Father of rivers," the mighty Thames, and within a short distance of the place where Butler enriched the world of literature ith Ins inimitable Hudi bras," and Milton's Oomus was first presented to ihc public.

The old town was a quiet, orderly kind of a place, wilji fifteen hundred inhabitants; and though not so large as Loudon, it was largo enough for its population, and the old men said that though they had no house of parliament nor royal palace there, because King George could not live iu every handsome town in Euglaud, certainly, if the monarch had his choice, he would, without doubt, take up his residence in Tiubury. There were three inhabitants in the village ulioread the ncwd.Jic. They were the Parson, the Doctor, and the Lawyer, who were supplied regularly once a week with the Worcester Chronicle, by a newsman who travelled some thirty miles to supply Tiubury and the adjoining villages. When the Catholic Emancipation was in agitation iu the British House of Commons, the newsman's coming was watched with great anxiety, and a great uneasi ness was manifested by a number of pious old Protestant ladies who expected, in the event of the bill becoming a law, that they should be immortalized in the second edition of Fox's Book of Martyrs." (While listening to' the Doctor's narrative description of this old village with its church and simple inhabitants, we almost fancied that we heard the ciiimcs of its matin bells, inviting its pious inhabitants to worship on the Sabbath morning, and saw in our mind's eye the rosy village maids as they thronged there to pray. His next sketch was a description of the amusements of the English rustics.) But this was in the days of merry old England," ere the surloin of beef, fat, juicy, and mouutaiuous, had dwindled down to be replaced by a French fricasee; and the groat Christmas puddings, celebrated by one Jackey Horner who sat in the chimney corner," had been banUhed by the slender faie of fashionable modern times.

On Easter Monday, a number of youths would rise early iu the morning, and gather a cup full of dew from the bladeB of the meadow grass, and after providing themselves with a fragrant bouquet, would proceed to visit the homes of all the pretty girls in the parish. First, the pretty girls, not by any means in expectation of such a visit, but just by the merest accident in the world, would rise at day break, aud then as the boys approached would peep through the window curtains aud be spied by them before they had time to withdraw. It was no use then to instruct their maids to say they were not at home, for they would not have their maids' veracity compromised for the world. The boys are accordingly ushered into a house, and the lady, looking as demure as possible, wonders to what cause she is indebted for such a visit. Seeing them advance, she retreats behind the table, then reaches the wall itself; but walls will separate themselves, eyeo in glorious woman's cause, aud she is captured by the youths, who place her on her chair, dip their boquet in the after sprinkling her face, initiate her iuto the mysteries of tho "chaste salute after which, they quietly depart.

But the next day the privileges are reversed, and the ladies are at liberty to use the very same process with the boys that the boys themselves had used the day before. Yet not one of them ever took advantage of their rights, with the exception of two old maids, who always made use of their (privilege by kissing the doctor the lawyer, and the old bachelor of the village. The former gentlemen would have preferred the embrace hadthe united ages of the old maids amounted to something less than a century but as for the old bachelor, poor soul 1 an embrace from the lips of one of Gliddon's mummies would have been a treat for him They might talk hard of old maids, but in general they are affectionate be ings, as if Nature had supplied them with au unusual amount of the "milk of human kindness," be. cause they were not supplied with aDy of another kind. He gave some amusing sketches of charac.

ter, which we cannot furnish, for want of space thoiigh highly amusing, particularly the driver of the stage coach, whom he described as the colossus of fun as well as the colossus of Rhodes (roads) aud the squire's footman, who dressed in a red vest and knee breeches, aDd wore pumps that might serve for tow. i pumps, only for their inverted oper ation in letting the water in instead of sending it out. He finished his observations amid thegrati tied smiles of who seemed, as they must have felt, highly amused, for the wit of the lecture was so pointed that it would have penetrated the melancholy of the veriest hypoch sndriac that ever looked wistfully at a razor or a bottle of cau de morphine. Churches in Philadelphia The census returns of the city and county of Philadelphia shoiv tho following number of churches Roman Cath' olic, 17; Presbyterian, 55 Episcopal, 41 Methodist, 58 Baptist, 32 Friends, 13 Reformed, 10 Hebrew, Covenanters, German Reformed, UniverBalist, Moravian, 1 Unitarian, 1 United Brethern, 1 Independent, 1 Bible Chris Menouiat, 1 Dunkors, 1 German Gos pel, 1 New Jerusalem, 1 Swedeuborgian, 1 Seamen's, 1 Christian, 1. Total, 254.

The whole amount of church property in the city is 4,860,950. The aggregate number of members to tho whole is 183,539. How a King made himself kioh. The late King of Holland was thought to be the richest mau in Europe. At his death he left behind him 12,000,000 sterling, or $58,000,000.

He accumulated this immense sum by means trade iu fact, he was a trader, and used to employ the men of war to bring home cargoes of colonial produce for him and as the freight cost him nothing, of course he would undersell the merchants, which naturally caused great discontent. Mileage. Dr. Gwin's constructive mileage for tho extra sessiou of the Senate amounts to 11,200. Wright and Gilbert, for their journeys to and from California, get 5,600 each.

Mr. Euitoh, Sik Permit me to correct an inadvertent error on your'purt, in your article of yesterday, on the above subject I mean aB to the charge for admission. Your statement that the charge for season tickets has been fixed at 16 (or three guineas) for gentlemen, and $10 50 (or two guineas) for ladies, is quite true, but the inference that this is the only mode and charge of admission, is incorrect. It appears from recent dates that the Commissioners have drawn out a scale ol charges which, in their opinion, will both be within the means of every individual in Great Britain, and be amply sufficient to defray ex peuses. As far as I remember, the arraugement is thus season tickets are to be charged as you stilted, admitting the holders to tfie exhibition at all times, and those only to be admitted on the first day of opening.

The object of this is to accustom the officers and attendants to their duties before the enormous influx of strangers take place On the second day the fee is to be one pound, (about five dollars) which is lowered on the third to five shil.irigs sterling, continuing at this rate fir nineteen days. On the twenty second day of the exhibition the charge is again lowered to one shilling sterling, (twenty four cents), and during the remaining time this is the charge to be made on three days of every week Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays Thursdays and Fridays being two shillings and sixpence, and on Saturdays fi fall il lings. Of course the distincfiou seems inviduous to our ideas, but we must remember that in England aristocracy is deeply and thoroughly rooted iu every institution. In this matter of the exhibition we may blame her for upholding by such means us we have described, these barriers between class and class, but we certainly cannot charge her with proscription towards the humblest denizen of her realm. A.

A Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican reports that Mr. Adams, formerly un Episcopal minister in Springfield, claims "that by having hollow helicies, filled 'with mercury instead of water, by constructing the electrodes according to his new centrifugal llieorv of electricity, and by constructing his connecting wires in the same way as the heliceB, he has been enabled to as far outstrip Mr. Paine in making ga as Mr. P.

Jackson and the Knockkiis. One of the spiritual knockers down east, it seems, has been in communication with the spirit of Gen. Jackson. The querist wished to know what the old General had first at heart. The reply was Tho Union by the eternal don't split it Fears are entertained that Newell Lyon, will', two children and servant, of Burlington, have been drowned in Lake Champlain, near that place.

The absence of the corner so called, from its place at the head of in evening sheet printed in this city, where it has stood awaiting its predicted elevation to some higher sphere, ever since the Herkimer secession of '47, lins occasioned some remaik among those who read that sheet. Why this long cherished object of barn burning incense and idolatry lias been dropped, aud without a parting word of regret or explanation is a mystery which has no explanation. We do not believe the rumor that it has gone to the World's Fair at London, among the curious specimens of American progress. That it has gone somewhere is certain but where is not so clear nor is it of any consequence. Aigus.
