NUMRP,RA& - ? supervise his conduct whitr in "office. On the ithrr hand, the Directors of the Bank give no ^)nnd; they are entrusted- with much larger tmounts on their finnor; and the President, If lie l)e a man of ability, may he considered as dected for life. The Constitution provides that io money sha-H'be drawn from the public Trfea- * jury pxcept- by order of the Legislature. A bill uust be read three times in each House'liefbre iiv cent can come from the Treasury; yet in his Bank nothing of the kind Unnecessary; & ncrp warrant from the President is sufficient* ind he, with the Directors, hare absolute con> rol over it. Before any appropriation, how?vdr small, is made by the Legislature, the natter must be discussed fully; yet the Bank nay make any appropriation and for any purmse. These various circumstances render this nstrtutinn a virtual violation, of the Consllttit* ion. But this is not all. In addition to this he Directors have the power to divide this ntoicy amongst themselves: and they not only lave this power, but thoy exercise it. At the a*t report there were 8700,000 thus applied;? md though those loans may be good, yet they lave no right thus to appropriate funds which mlong in common lo the people of the ware, [n the Legislature every appropriation for the talarios ol officers is thoroughly considered; he office must he made to appear necessary beore that appropriation will bo made; and if here is no such necessity, then the office Ta iholished and the appropriation withdrawn. But tho Directors of the Bank appoint its officers, give what salaries they please, and encounter what expense they please. And if any me should undertake to investigate this matter, *e finds that he has to encounter figures, and viai J j iiiuuiioioicru *t iiii iuv uiai idvi|/iw<i vi Republican Government, and our own Constiution, which has denied even to the Senate of he Mate, the right to originate a bill to raise lupplies. The House of Representatives is llie inly body who can legitimately exercise' tbi* lower, and then it is exercised openly?the ;onrse of every member is known and scruti: lised; but with (he Directors of the Bank the :ase is different. Their course and then* ae* ion is unknown ; they are sworn not to reveal' heir proceedings except on requisition' of the Legislature. And this power to levy taxes; thfr unlawful exercise of which was resisted by this Government, and led to our National Iridepetr. lence, has been tamely yielded' ut> ihto the hands of a body of men elected by the'Legislature. Ami again : the danger of alt1 over issue is an important consideration. God'fbrbid that he should impute any such conduct,-Of the probability of any sttch conduct, to the-gentlemen uow entrusted with this matteryet on this ;reat and vital question of State pttllcy, ther? were perils which no human forecast could proride against. Cases had occurred where offiv :ers of Banks had conspired and issued bills without receiving value for them, and without he knowledge of the Directors. And frauds if this kind it was very difficult to discover; here were so many facilities offered, that in j many cases it was impossible tb punish the of- ^ fender. Our State Treasury is-guarded by a provision of the Constitution; The officer vacates his office every four years, at whleh nBL lime an investigation is made, and his accounts . jxamined ; before he enters upon the duties, he is required to give bond* and seeurty; tho Comptroller General's duly is to examine and nature, and the fact that a long acquaintance with the operation* and business of banking and a knowledge of financiering, is necessary before its workings can be undrslood, render it an institution totally opposed to the theory of our government, which proposes that the pe?* pie shall know and understand the operation1 of matters in which they are directly intei?it0^i The result was that tbe condition of the treasury was shrouded in darkness, eicept to tbe very few who bad the necessary acqainljuiCt with the subject to investigate that condition;-?? Again: the Bank exercises the Legislative authority of this State. It may lend tnooey towhom it pleases; the Legislature must deliberate and discuss at length any sucb measure to* be pursued by them; but this Bank may do it' in a moment. We have given them the wj* thority to issue bills, and we are bound fort, heir payment. They may subscribe to stock,, ir make loans, without the permission of the* Legislature. It is true that they have tbig -? isked to make that subscription, have done ill?' The Bank, by possessing the power to contract i debt, possesses the power of taxing the people ,o pay that debt; and though it should contract *or millions, yet that debt can only be paid by aying a tax on the people; and this is a power >sv??11ot Lni*A>ieielAfit rartk fkn nrinnmlna rtf ?l omiu is tounaea upon jvicious principles-Hn other words, erroneous principles. All Banks in connection with State were an evil, and based upon principles repugnant to our system' of government, fie then entered into a history of the Bank from the date of its charter down to the present time, with various statistics and statements of the amount of capital, &c~. and' its several loans to different persons and for various purposes. With reference to the fire loan, that was safe, beyond all question-?the property of those who were relieved by it, was mortgaged to secure the payment of it; but with respect to the loan to private individuals, that was more uncertain; and should the Bank not be able to pay the money borrowed, there was no other fund out of which it could be.patd,.>and: the consequence would be, a resort to ta&atjoa: The second proposition was that such institutions are contrary to the principles of a Republican government. Its difficult and comofor r DEBATE ON THE BANK QUESTION. ~ . 0 II ^ IflfiTBATT DP II e" MR. MEMMINGER'S SPEFCtf. g Before going into the discussion of tbo merit* of the several propositions before tbo Commit* te, he desired to disembarrass the question o * j certain personal considerations, which shoutf n . not enter into such a discussion. It should be j. discussed upon high and elevated grownda, tat s ' great question of State policy, and altogether ' disconnected with private individual .considers* * tions. He expressed titer highest regard and personal friendship towards (he President df the i. insTitution, which has been conducted as ably and as perfectly as sucb an institution could-bo conducted ; and as far as his individual connection with other institutions of a similar cbarac* 0 ler was concerned, that interest would not-fo injured or increased five hundred dollars. And now, as on former occasions, he was ready when these private institutions proved recreant to the purposes of their charter, to bring them before the Courts of Justice of the country. His first proposition was that the Bank of the Oi- _ r J* ? - ement, whore about 10,000 Mormons are loMed. There is a rumor that equally rich lines have been discovered in that region.?

The United States havi extorted the respect of the leading presse and authorities in Europe since the devel opment of their military power in Mexico The langiragc of contempt for our mania energies and resources, has been changec into that of admiration. 3. The value o! colonies in England, has been much questioned by some of .her leading politicians, both in and out of Parliament. The heavyexpenditure attending these possessions has alarmed the public mind, when the necessity for retrenchment has become so obvious that a general reduction of pensions and salaries has been generally discussed. For these reasons, we tiling that if the Island of Cuba were transferred to the United States, by purchase, although such a transfer is extremely improbable, and its cession for any price should be shunned by the people and government of the Union, it would excite much less attention in Europe than if it had taken place when monarchial power was in the ascendant. Then there would have been protest, probably war. Now there would be not only acquiescence, but calculation, as to how much larger a market would the island'of Cuba afford for the products of the British industry, in the hands of '.omplaccnt strain ot the Jinglisli press, in elation lo American ambition for a new 'j erritory. I. The state of monarchial an- p( hortty in Europe is not now so conductive o its strength and stability as to permit the ndulgonce of the former insolent tone to- pi .vards this country, as distinguished some of in he European journals, particularly those of to lelivcrs its'lfon the subject. If tlie strain n >f its remarks is compared with that which 0 diaraetcrized its editorial comments when ho lust for acquiring territory is supposed o have governed the people and govern- w nent of this"countrv, in its hosti ities with Mexico, the contrast will be found remarkade. The acquisition of so valuable a pos- ^ icssion as the Island of Cuba is no longer so . vehemently condemned, as illustrating the erritorial cupiditity of the American peo- *( )le, but asj exemplifying the dishonesty of a he Spanish Government, which, owing mil- 0| ions to European creditors, should have so widely departed from justice and the principles of public law, as to sell its possessions tr u the new world to cheat its creditors in the rr )ld.

II. Aspinwail, John L. Stephens j o md Henry Chnunrcy, was presented to the p ower House of Congress on Monday last. These gentlemen propose to establish a rail- IS oud across the Isthmus of Panama, and ask e< hat they may be entrusted with the transporation of i ie mails, and the conveyance of g roops, munitions of war, &c. t Theme . inlists stale that ihey have ob- o aincd n charter for ninety-nine years from lie government of New Grcncda.

He himself ? made a narrow escape, and just left the room just in time to save his life, swimming. In 11 less than twenty minutes after she struck, nothing but tiic hurricane roof, pilot house, 1 &c., remained above the water. All the cabin passengers, and a great many from the deck below, succeeded in d t eaching the huricanc deck in safely.
