Stocks arc in "the dumps," u hich means on the decline* United States Hank stock is at 1151-2 a 3-4, The money market is very . ticklish; a puff blows .it up or down. The Whole mercantile interest is afraid ol "the .. Government." The Manhattan Bank in this city is slyly resuming specie payments, on its circulation, not on its deposited! It is a Bank ol itself', and by itself and does not have the least influence over, or connexion with, the other Banks. There is not here, among intelligent, practical men, any belief that the Banks can or will resume specie payments for a longtime. New York. Aiu. 15. We have news from Liverpool to the 8th nit. There is but little of interest in the men ey market, or in a political way. The cotton market is so-so. Mr. Spring Ricev has brought forward the Budget. Of course, the revenue falls short in England, as in this country, for, when merchants suffer, the nation suffers. The late King was to be buried on the8th. Mr." Spring Rice says. the worst of the times is over. This true of England. Gold is rapidly flowing from all ?juarters iuto the coffers of the Bank of England. A Rus sian frigate , brought to Gravesend 400,000. pouuds sterling, which was deposited in the Bank of England. In a few days it \vs expected that the bank would have in its possession about six millions of pounds sterling of bullion. Don Carlos, in Spain, it is said, has outwit ted the Queen's Generals and crossed the Kbro at two points. Espartcro is hastening to defend Castile, and Baron de Meer is following Don Carlos.

There are no more failures. Our good faith is highly praised. The English merchants, however, are not yet disposed to make any mercantile movements in this country.

We occupy much space this week with the engineer's report on the Cheftw and Waccanaw Rail Road, but doubt not that it will interest a majority of readers more than any .lung else with winch we couiu occupy our :olumns. We particularly invite the attention of those who doubted the feasibility of the judertaking, to examine the engineer's calculations of the profits which the road is likev to yield on the capital invested; which is lie* only propper test of the utility of the proect.

Mr. Ciieves. U. S. Bvxk.?I)r. Cooper uil.lictiofl ' in tlm \*l (if flip Sollthem hit trary Journal, a paper on'Banks and Banking rom which the following' is an extract. Captain Jones was compelled to resign the Vesidency, [of the U. S. Bank] and on the ith of March, 1819, Mr. Choves took his lace. In his exhibit, about three years aferwards, Mr. Oheves stated among other acts, the fraudulent discount and abstraction fnear Three Millions of Dollars from the Baltimore Blanch. while James A. Buchanan, vas President and J. \V McCulIoch, Cashier. Security was obtained for.ab'out $900,000 no-, ninally of this deficiency, but rcallv about ?500,000 only. By calling in all debts that ould be made available, by a rigid contraction f discounts and paper issues, and'by procurng a supply of cash from abroad, Mr. Cheves aved tlie Bank. But he continued his sysom too long and too inexorably. Great presure in the mercantile world, and nianv fail ires 100K 1 lit' ObUUlVilUlUCIO WUiiij/iaai* :d of receiving no dividends, and the morbants and manufacturers founil all their opeations paralyzed, and usury flourished. The eductions made by the National Bank were calculated at Seven Millions, and by the other 3unks at half as much. The price of land hroughout Pennsylvania, fell at the close of .619, to one half of the vaiue in 1817. .A mar. vho entered into a contract in 1617,?-6 paid lonble in 1619, and 1620. Mr. Cheves at ength resigned the very harsh hut really saluary excercise of Jiis arduous office. That the lank was saved by his exertions, no one 1 beicve denies; but the price paid for tiie beneit, was very good. ; Mr. Nicholas Diddle succeeded him.

Mr. Clieves lias published ill the Charleston Mercury a reply to this part of Dr. Cooper's irticle and answers the charges implied in his itatements. He shews that the Doctor erred 11 regard to the actual state of facts and heir connection with the Bank; and closes hia )ublication as follows: If in the struggles of the Bank to be recharered, my opinion was against it (as in tact it vas) I nevertheless was silent. The relaions in which I had stood to it forbade me to nanifesc opposition to it, in any way or in any legree. It is now no more, and I am free to leclare that I am opposed to a National Bank 11 any shape. I always believed it to be un onstitutional, and my experience and observation have satisfied me that it is inexpedient, mnecessary and dangerous. The constitutional question lias been so of,cii and so ably discussed, that no new light L UIf u,. tlin nmror ^illl pruuuuiy ui; Bllt;u uu lb ui t/ivii tuv |/vuvtul and lucid mind of Mr. Cheves, except in one ispect; and here, it is most likely, strange as he language may sound, that experience alone nust decide. The constitutional question is nvolved, (or at least none but mere consoliiationists will deny that, it is) in the question vhether or not a National Dank is necessary md proper to enable the Government to conduct the fiscal operations clearly enjoined tiein it in the constitution. That the State Banks are not the proper igents for this purpose is now admitted by all. Vone Avill deny that a U. S. Bank may be uadc to answer this purpose perfectly. Experiments pbove it. The question is, can any >ther agency be substituted which will answer he purpose as well, or which will answer tiie >urpose at all, and which will not be liable to is strong objections as a well regulated and iroperly restricted National Bank. On this juestion the views ot Mr. Chcves would oe aluablc to the country at the present time.? Hie reputation which he acquired as a finan:ier while in Congress, his experience and siglal success in the management of the U. Bank at a most critical period in its history, ind iiis pre-eminent talents would command or any deliberate discussion of the subject by lim a most respectful attention from allquarcrs.

The Bio Ship.?The U. S. Ship Pennsylvania, lately launched at Philadelphia has '< been ordered round to Newport R.

Some of the i Whig papers are ungenerous enough to hint that this was not mere accident. 1 The late gall.?We barn from the Wilmington Advertiser that .the gale was'very severe in that town and neighborhood. The rice plantations were much injured, and from the number of ship masts and other articles driven on shore, it is feared that vessels have been wrecked on the coast.- The gale was j accompanied by an extraordinary fall of rain which carried off the bridges and mills. Since the resumption of specie payments by the New Orleans banks, brokers are drawing out their specie, to send to the North for sale. The indignation af the honest part of the community restrains, but cannot suppress a proceeding so very disgraceful to those who, in the circumstances, are engaged in it. Ploughing by Steam.-Ah Englishman ha? ; invented a plough propelled by a. stationary ! steam engine, which turns a furrow 18 inches wide, nine inches deep, and three hundr il yards long in less than four minutes The sagacity of the President of the United States as a financier may be judged of from the following extract of a letter addressed bv him to Sherrod Williams while he was a can didate for the office which he now holds. " I sincerely believe that the public funds can be as safely and conveniently trans mitted from one portion of the Union to an other?that domestic exchanges can be as successfully and cheaply iffected, and the ci'R rency at least as sound under l\\e existing system of State Hanks, as these objects couh be accomplished by a national Bank."
