lf. Tlio principal feature of last week in Parliament have tieen the Introduction of the Oot-ernnv lit liunklng scbeinc, and Mr. Huwil p-pearaace In the House as 1 "resident of tbe Privy Coiiudl. The Klnauce Minister has Ukn the country somewhat by surprise, In announcing til" plun of tb proposed Bunk of brae yesterday evening, aa hopes were entertained that the Government might be prevailed upon to withhold it, at least for a time. The proposition has been strenuously opposed In the eonntry, and numerous deputations have visited from various sections of the Dominion, with the view of endeavoring to persuade the Government against the adoption of what many believe to be.

a scheme which will prove the ultimate ruin the country. Parties Interested in preventing UuvrrnmrDt paper Issue are nsturally prejudiced against the scheme, and their assertions with reference to it must be Uken with aome allowance. Ko doubt it would be better for the biuks if they rotiM continue to control the circu-latiou of money in thi Dominion, lut it may be tU.it lorrower tuke a different view of the matter, aa many of them find it lie it to Impossible to (ret accommodation at the bank. One great objection urged la, that, the scheme American In principle, and would force on the country an issue which, like that of the Cnib'd Htatea greenbacks, would be depreciated. This ia not likely to be the rune bat nupjionlng it were, the great object to bo gained la to increase the volume of the circulating medium.

There can bo no question that the plan adopted in thu United states la the best thut could le deviated, because It has put money Into circulation, aud done the very thinft the batik have always re fu.se-d to do give the country plenty of money. Our bunks have been too chary with their discounts in one way, but rather too free in another, as the recent failures only too clearly demonstrate. What is wanted in this country is money, aud a Government bank of issues would supply it. According to Mr. ItwK's plun, the thing is to be done gradually, lu 171 the bunks are.

to surrender twenty per cent, of their circulation, replacing It with paer of. Government Issue, and in 1870 they are to surrender the whole of their circulation. There docs not appear to he uuything unreasonable in this, and it is probable that the chief opposition will among those who have an interest in keeping things as they are. The country, however, should feel that a boon is about to bo conferred by the Government undertaking to control tue paper money circulation. T1IK IMiCPKNDENCE MAMA.

Tim agitation for a new state of political cx-la'-cnee is not likely to die away so soon as was expected. There is certainly no very determined effort made by any one to arouse the feelings of tho people ou the subject, but a few Journals are doiug their utmost to keep the agitation alive, au there is more quiet discussion of the merits of tii" queetlou tbiiu auiue deem it advisable to admit. The truth is, there has long beon a great a'-gnatlon In business, and that baa produced a feeling of distrust in the capabilities of the country to keep up with the times unless a separation from Knglaud is effected. Of course none think of eueh a thing as forcible severance, but they acorn to Imagine that a separate existence would be preferable to Urn present state of dependency on the mother country. Kothlng was ever so absurd, for annexation to the United Htatea, all must allow, would be vastly preferable to independence, for the simple reason that Canada oould not exlitt'as a separate nation alongside such a powerful neighbor as the Americau Republic.

This Independence chimera does not excite surprise, because few believe the thing will ever succeed. Business men, however, are fast changing their viewa in favor of something that would bring them relief. A good harvest and a brisker trade would accomplish wonders. Every decade in Canada brings us a political mania of aome kind, or a Money panic this time we may be said to have had both in a rather mild form. The lndeicndenee mania may possibly spread at all events it is affecting men who bad previously been accounted among the most Ioyl.

Who can say what a few mouths may bring about! rnoTECTiox demanded. The Ooderlch salt manufacturers, in this Province, and the coal owners iu Nova Scotia, are pressing the Government to protect them against tho foreign article. American salt, it ai-pears, can be brought here and sold at a less price than tho ome-ma uf ac tured article. Why It is so it is not so easy to perceive, if the salt makers of Onondaga are not heavy losers by what they export to Canada. The policy of this country has for a long time been favorable to incidental protection, aud salt is held to be in that eategory.

There is not any strong opposition to the proposed duty ou American salt, but the Government has not decided what they will do as regards the coal. There Is certainly a strong opiMMitlon, for the reason thut consumers in Ontario are not willing to be forced to pay a higher price for coal than they now do, to suit the people of Nova Scotia. Selfishness is at the bottom of the movement, and Nova 8eotian coal will certainly not be honored with protection, whatever may be done with bait. THE INTERCOLONIAL KAIL WAY LOAN. The Finance Minister has engendered much ill-will by the course he has taken in diverting a portion of the intercolonial loan from its iegiti-iiiato purpose.

It Appears that he found himself ia difficulty; payments were maturing, and he had no money to meet them with. Luckily he discovered that there could be io great harm lu taking a part of the railway loan he had obtained with such ease in England. He thought there could be no serious objection to its use lu that way, when he could show that every dollar of it might bo replaced, provided his estimate came out right. It was a bold step for a Minister to take, but 5fr. Hose is not a man to hesitate, nnd he turned tho loan to account in paying off claims, by which course he avers he has saved a large sum to the country in interest.

Of course that Is mere assertion, and we must wait some time for practical confirmation of the statement. The Finance Miuister had no right so to divert tho funds raided noon the credit of the country, aud such a course is censurable In the highest decree. It may be that the country will save in the long run, but we have no proof of that yet. It Is only too apparent that Mr. Rose was driven to the necessity of "raising the wind in some way, and he took the most convenient method he could Hud.

He is acensed of terribly blundering in his estimates at all events he was very wide of the mark last session, and it Is undeniable that the trade of the country has fallen off in almost remarkable degree. Mr. Koot juay have estimated correctly enough, but he could not foresee what hat ieued in the way ot a large falling off In the trade of the country. KLaCTIOX Lisuor. Tho vacancy caused by the death of Bishop Ft-LFOHD, ot office of Metropolitan Bishop of Canada.) has remained unfilled for over a year in consequence of the Fynod being unable to agree upon his successor.

The Synod sat several days last Sunixutr, md failaig to agree, postponed the election. It met arain this week, and after numerous attempts, succeeded la electing Rev. OXKXMts, M. Kector ot Pluckier. Kent, England, who bad not even been thought of until yesterday.

His election will take very many by surprise. There appears to be doubt of hia accepting the position. -J NartkerB VisiSsrs to Tlrgiaiav. t4 Richmond IUpatch, May 18. The number of Northerners who have been recently prospecting la Virginia ia much greater than at any time elaee 1865.

The investments made by them are not large, but they have declared themselves generally as Butch, pleased, with the advantage of the State, and the larger portion of them say that aa soon as the political condition of the State is settled they will come down and make investments. They cannot no-dertake to embark in manufacturing enterprises and the purchase of laud until thev have some assurance that the Government will be placed iu trustworthy baud, and the State la restored to the Union. Assuredly the strong declarations of these visitors from 'lie North ore not merely empty boiuilings. Tliey come a lomr distance, make patient invest gatiocn. and show a deep Interest In whst they see.

They wonld not go through all this merely to play ft little trick. They come in good earnest, and but a few of them mean to play off a deception In a manner which can set ure no gratification to them and will make little Impression upon the people of Virginia. These visitors are in earnest, aud when the condition of the Htate Is such as to command their confidence, it will be seen bat they are. THIS uppmamn mctrdsr.

Coroner ftcuiAMEK continued hia investigation yesterday in the case of Alexander iJff-af akm, the Marshal, who died recently from the effects of a wound sustained on the head, at the hands of an unknown man, on the 3sth at No. 1H0 Orchard-street, while discharging his duty as one of the City Marshals. The following evidence was obtained yesterday Morrl Myrrt, of No. 31T Rivtngton-street, tesO-flod I was in the employ of deceased as a clerk ou the 3lh ult. Mr.

K. Feltman. who keeps a clothing store In Chatham-street, came to the Fourth District Civil Court and asked for a holdover or dispossess on the premises No. lso Orchard-street, Mr. Henry Treuud being the tenant; the warrant was issued by Judge Oale and given to the deceased; about four o'clock that day the deceased, myself.

Levi Ktssler and Oeorge Bund went to No. ISO Orchard-street deceased told me to go ahead and see Mr. Freund. aa he wished to stop in a lager-beer saloon and see some one, and wonld follow me; when we arrived we found that Mr. Freund had a one-horsn truck full of furniture before the door I demanded the keys of the premises from Mr.

Frennd; be refused to give them to me, saying. I will not give them to you until the wood la brought up from the cellar while we were talking Freund passed the keys to a Mr. Smith, his partner; Just then the deceased came up aud asked me how it was getting along; I told him that everything was out except the wood; Mr. Hmith Uien gave the keys to the deceased, who told Theodore Kuddlun to get off the stoop, at the same time taking him by the arm and sliov-lug him against the railing; as he did that Max. Hteinlein struck deceased on the right side of Ids face with his list; I caught hold of Hteinlein and we struggled together; Just then a man, whose name I afterward ascertained to be Jntte, picked up a piece of wot si about a foot and a half long and four inches thick and struck deceased ou the right side of the head, the deceased falling and striking the pavement with the back of his bead; 1 ran toward tho deceased and picked him up, and carried him to a saloou iu the neighborhood he was then insensible a few minutes after he rcgaiucd consciousness, and I asked him if he was much hurt; he replied that his head pained him an officer came up just then, when deceased told him to arrest Mr.Frcund.Mr.

Htoltr. and Mr. Sutler, which the officer did, and took them to the Kldridire Police Station, when Kergcaut Kiuidcrs committed them Mr. Lippinaun at that time identified Stoltz as the man who had struck him as we all came out of the Ktation-uon-M) Sulzer said to deceased: I will give you the name of the man who struck you the deceased took a card from his pocket, when Hulzer told him the name of the man was Jutte, which tho deceased wrote down the deceased asked 1dm where Jutte lived, when Bulzer replied that be was a painter and lived somewhere in Orchard-street Buddlnn said that Jutte kept a paint shop in Orchard-Street; the man Jutte is slout 5 feet 5 inches in height, wears a light beard, of fair complexion, and was dressed in painter's working clothes at the time of the assault; when he recovered his consciousness, deceased was in possession of all his senses. Lrri Krsalrr.

of No. 336 East Houston-street, in his evidence corroborated that portion of Myers' testimony relative to the belligerency of Ijtoltz, who threw a piece of wood at Mr. Iilppniann. John Bchnlte, of No. 238 East Fourth-street, testified that he met the deceased on the day of the anuault, and accompanied bim to No.

1NO Orchard-street he saw a man strike the deceased wilu a piece of wood, mid gave a dexcriptioii similar to that riven by Myers; Joseph Ilerrberg, of No. 140 Pitt-street, gave similar testimony, and pronounced the description of Jutte Iriven by Myers as esaentiaHv correct, adding that he saw Jutte the next day in Orchard-street. Maria Ileldenaiior. of No. 178 Orchard-stroet, testified that she saw a man whom she did not know, strike the deceased two or three times on the head with a piece of wood.

Edward Hulzer, of No. 133 Hnffolk-street, one of the prisoners, was then admitted as a witness, aud testified as follows On the day of this occurrence I came up Btantou-street on my way to Tenth-street; when I came to Orchard-street I saw a crowd near Houston-street I went down to see my brother-in-law, Geo. Joseph, who resides next door; I went into the house, and, after drinking- a glass of beer, I went into the paint shop, which is on the same side of the street the trouble then seemed to be over Levi Kessler cauie up to me, and. taking me by the collar, ordered a policeman to arrest me, not sayiug for what; when we arrived at the Station-house I was discharged, as tho deceased made no complaint agaiust me as we came out deceased asked me what I knew of the matter I told him I knew several of the meu who were in the disturbance, but I gave him the name of no one as the person who struck him I gave him the names of Buddinn and Steinleln, who keep a paint shop in Orchard-street. The Coroner then announced that he would adjourn the further examination of witnesses until Tuesday next, at 10 o'clock, in order that search might be made for the man Jdttk.

Undischarged Mr. from custody of the Police, as there was no evidenoe agaiust bim. The other prisoners were remanded until when the Coroner will probably content receive bail for them. The I. en Islaati Railroad Laborer.

TO the Editor of Uu New- York Timet I find in your issue of May 20, 1809, an article headed Bad Treatment of Railroad on Long Island." The statement, by whomsoever made, is not only unfair to tho contractor, but substantially false. Mr. Riianaiun's death, occurring aa it did unexpectedly, necessarily left his business matters very much mixed, and the efforts of his friends and relatives to get, his affairs In running order was not the work of an hour, and could not be accomplished in a dav. If any difficulty exists between the Long Island Company and any other corporation, let It be settled by those who are interested but no irresHnnibie intermeddler should attempt, under the circumstances, to damage the reputation of the dead or injure the interests of his representatives, who are amplv competent to attend to their own private afTairs to pay the debts of the dead, if any, and otherwise meet all legal ob igations. As the attorney of Mr.

Shanahan I know the foregoing to be true, aud beg you to publish it iu your columns. J. W. MURPHY. tevalatiaa ia Criminal Practice Prison-era Hwara ia Xbeir Own Behalf.

The proceedings of the Court of Secial Sessions yesterday were chiefly remarkable for the first application of the new law permitting persons accused of crime to be sworn und give testimony in their own behalf. The new system upon its primal trial resulted so advantageously as to afford great gratification to its advocates. The first case was that of Patrick Clark, accused of an tu-msult. upon Officer John Little, of the Eighteenth Product. The officer.

culled, testified that on the niicht of the 3d inst. there hnd been a prlz fight at the market, foot of East (sixteenth-street, and, having succeeded in arresting one of the principals, was taking him to the station-house when he was approached by Clark, who demanded tho release of the prisoner, which being denied he immediately assaulted the officer, tearing his coat, snatching off hl shield, and beating hini about the head. Litti also testified that his prisouer was very unrulv, and, incited bvthe demonstrations of Clabk, threatened to kill his captor, nnd limdly called for a Imlfe To stab him with. The officer having concluded his statement, a slight misiinderstandiug ensued between him and Justice IJowling. Clark was tthen called to the witness stand and sworn.

He testified that he saw the officer with his prisoner surrounded oy a large crowd, and be had merely approached Li iri.1: aud ai-ked the cause of the of hich he was entirely Iguoraut. and that Little, not iriving him any answer, shoved hun away with his club and assaulted turn. Justice LKiWLixo, In concluding upon fhe ease, said that the appearance of Clak corroborated bis statement, as ho plainly showed rough usage, and he therefore entered a iudginent of acquittal. The next case was also one of assault, Johx Bbow and Wa. II.

Stevkks, colored men. being accused of beating Jonssux also ul-ored. who testified that tbey came to bis door at a late hour ot the night pounding fur admission, and when he went to remonstrate with tbeiu they fell savagely upon hint and gave him a severe heating. Stevens was then called, and, being sworn, admitted the truth of Beret's statement In its main features, whereupon both men were convicted, and were sentenced to six months' imprisoaiuent in the Penitentiary, Justice Dow Uo remarking that he should make it a role to mete out the extreme penalty of the law ia all eases wbera conviction follow upon testioMMiy given by the prisoners themselves.

A model of CKXAXEtt'a Seif-Closlng Safety Hatch was exhibited. It la Intended to prevent loos of life or limb by falling. A model ox IX H. Lowe's Patent Vapor Store waa then displayed. It was described as generating gas from a liquid, needing bo wood nor coal, chimney nor stovepipe.

Dr. tDvm Leigh snbseraently lectured on the representation of sounds by letters. He aaid that no language approached tb Encash in the extreme lm-gubuity ot Its spelling, nd proceeded to to in para the ooaatractioa of a number of words with an identical nund, but which were differently spelt. The evening was consumed in showing the orthographical iaeonsistenoiea of the English language, and in calling attention to instances of greater rationality in other tongues. He- aaid that Oerman children learned to read as much of their language in nine months, us English or American childreu did of theirs in two years.

Change im the Basiaew J.acalities ef tfce 5ir2iWli-'lnrasln Lower FiHa-arraae by the an 4 31aaa facta rers ward Teadcacy tbe Commercial Coanaanitr. Tho Fiftb-avenue, between Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets, is gradually undergoing the metamorphosis th.it within a few years has so completely changed the appearance of Union-square. The square is now almost surrounded by stately buildings devoted to public uses.

Hotels long ago gained a foothold there, but it is only within a recent period that the old-time dwellings have been converted into stores, banks and couuUng-rooms. The upward-flowing tide, after leaving its substantial deposits at Union-square, divided into two currents, one of which is sweeping ou directly up Broadway, dropping here and there an elegant building devoted to business purposes, like that occupying the block between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, built for Ahsoli, Constable and bousing, besides this firm, those of Attkim A Miller, Hakris Brothers, Miller Obant and Hkrtlr Bhotheks. The other current, diverted into Fourteenth-street, is thence slowly making progress up Fifth-avenue. A few advanced ripples, some time ago, carried up and left high and dry such Bfiecinienn of the boulder class as the Chkkfkisi.s and Wbiier, (piano manufacturers.) Bkkwstkr, (car-rliige manufacturer.) and Knokdi.kk. who recently transferred celebratl art gallery to the corner of Twenty-second-strcet.

Now Oprnf.v Sum have removed their fumous photographic gallery to the corner of Hixteeutti-street and Fifth-avenue. The have fitted up here, at a cost of an iriierv occuiivlhir the entire building above the first floor, aiid paying an annual rent. of 1 10,000. During the ensuing year, count less, other business houses will In- entablished in Fifth-n venue, which onnccount of the high rents und the. elegance of the buildings already erected there.

Is destined to be occupied by none hut flrt-class establishment Probably within a few-years It will lie the principal retail thoroughfare of the Metroitoli. Further down town many lofts on Broadway and the Intersecting streets nre to let. Owing to the unsettled condition and prosiwcts of business nffairs at present, most of these are likely for some time to remain vacant. Very few new firms are started in these times. By-and-by, when business takes a fro-h start, if it ever does.

Broiidway and the Bowery will built up with warehouses, nnd will Imj principally occupied by wholesale houses. The Bowery, which is wider than Broadway, will probably change its character altogether within few years. The old rookeries which now look down upon it must give place to inifMising structures. It will then become one of the fiuest and busiest thoroughfures in the City, and doubtless property will be as valuable and rents as high tnere as on Broadway or higher. The lower iorti.H of Filth-avenue, between the Washington Parade round and Fifth-avenue, was a little off the liue of the advance of business houses northward.

It is still occupied for the most part, by dwelling-houses, some of them edifices of great elegance. Tins quarter of the Fifth-avenue, with the Intersecting fctreeU, will doubtless remain for many years a mo-t desirable place of residence. Above Twenty-third -street Broadway is filled with small retail dry poods and fancy stores, like those with which nearly all the avenues, except tho Fifth, are crowded. The Fifth-avenue above Twenty-third-street is still lined almost exclusively with wellinjr-houses. but there is no telling how soon these may le wanted for business purposes.

Judging of the future by fhe past, it will not lie long before the class of eople who live In such avenues will be com pe lied to fly before the yardsticks of the advancing tradesmen to tbe remotest parts of the i.sland even to the regions beyond Central Park and on the new Boulevard.

The shores of Hohoken were lined with thousands of people, while Innumerable small craft sported hither and thither, rendering the scene at once picturesque aud charming. The invited guests were gathered on the steamer Fort Lee, while the Judges and members of the Press haul a tug-boat to themselves.

The first scrub match was between Blakk, of the Atalantas, and Deklv, of tbe Uu-ltcks, for $fio, which the former won easily, making his three miles iu 20: 15. The second aud really the most lmiortant event of the day, was a single-scull race for a silver cup valued at tiou, and a second prize of $50, the prizes being the gift of Commodore Banks.

Butler va Ttrnj. F. Bonirtm, in error to the Court of Common Heat of Ou Stale of Maryland. Mr. Chief Justice Chask delivered the opinion of the Court.

The record allows a suit tor breach of a covenant for payment of rent contained In a lease of certain premises in the City of Baltimore, made la 1791 for ninety-nine years, renewable forever, tipoa an aa- nnal rent of fifteen pounds current money of Vary-land, payable in English golden gntneaa, weighing Ave pennyweights and six grains, at Uuriy-flve anil-1 intra each, and other gold and silver at their preaeat weights and rates establiahed by act of The obvious intent of tbe eontraet waa to secure payment of a certain rent in gold and silver eoia, which was, on Jan. 1. 1M66, $40; and Judgment waa rendered on the 27th of June. 1866. for S49 71.

Tho Judgment waa rendered aa the legal result of tws propositiona: nai ine eovenanx toe lease required the delivery of a certain amount of gold and silver ta payment of rent: and, 2. That damages for non-performaaes must be aaaoaaod In the legal-tender currency. The first of these propositiona la, in our Judgments oorrsct tbe second is, we think, erroneooa It ia not necessary to go at length Into the grounds of this conclusion, we win only state briefly tbe general propositiona on which tt rests, some of which have been already stated more fully in Brnnson rn. Rodea A contract to pay a certain sum in gold and silver eoia is, in subeianee and legal effect, a contract to deliver a certain weight of gold and silver of a certain fineness, to ascertained by count. Damagea for non-perfonDanoe ef such a eontraet may be recovered at law, aa for nonperformance of a contract to deliver bolhon otner commodity, urn wneiner tne tract be for the delivery or navment ta coin or bullion, or other property, damagea for Boa-performance must be assessed in lawful money that Is to say, in money declared to be legal tender in payment by a la made in pursuance of the Constitution of the United tstatea It waa not neoeiaary in tbe case of Branson ve.

Rndra, nor Is it necessary now. to decide the question whether tbe acta making United HUites notes legal tender are warranted by the Constt-tntioo. We express no opinion on that point, but ae-smue, for tbe present, the constitutionality of these acts. Proceeiung npon this assumption, we find two description! of lawful money in nae tinder acts of Congress, in either of which damages for Doo-per-form an ce of oontracta whether made before er since the passage of the Currency acta, may be Sroperly assessed. In tho abaenea of any lif erent understanding or agreement between parti ea But the obvious Intent.

In contracts for payment or delivery of coin or bullion, to provide against fluctuations in the medium ot payment, warrants the inference that it was the understanding of tbe parties that such oontracta should be satisfied, whether before or after Judgment, only by tender of coin, while the absence of any express stipulation, aa to description, la contracts for payment in money generally, warrants the opposite inference of an understanding between partiea that aoch oontracta may be satisfied, before or after Judgment, by the tender of any lawful money. This inference as to contracts made previous to the passage of the acts making United Btates note k-gal tender, is strengthened by tbe consideration that those acts not only do not prohibit, but, by strong Implication, aiinctlnn contracta made aince their paimagn for payment of coin and consequently taken iu coo. nection with the provision of tbe act of 1792. concerning money of account, require that damages upon auoii contracts be assessed in coin, and Judgment rendered accordingly: leaving the assessment of damagea for breach of other contract to be made, and Judgments rendered in lawful money. It would be unreasonable to suppose that tbe Legislature intended a different rule as to contracta prior to the enactment of currency laws, from that sanctioned by them in respect to contracts since.

We are of the opinion, tberrftire, that, under the existing law, of which, in respect to legal tender, the constitutionality la, we repeat. In this case amumed, damnpe may be properly anwawd. and Judgments rendered so aa to give tall "effect to ths intention of parties its to the medium of payment. When, therefore, tt appears to be the clear intent of a contract that payment or satisLactloB ahull be made in gold and ailver coin, damages shoukl be assessed and Judgment rendered accordingly. It fullowa that in the case before as tbe jnugmeut was erroneously entered.

Tbe damages should have been asesKd at the sum agreed to be- one, with interest, in gold and silver coin, and Judgment should have been entered in coin fur that amount with eusta The Jndmnent of the Court of Common Please must, therefore, be reversed, and tbe cause remanded for further proceedings. Mr. Justice Millkb dissenting. 1 beiieve the Judgment of tbe Conn below wasrigbt, because I understand the original contract to have been an agreement to pay in English guineas, as a commodity, and their value was therefore properly computed tn the legal-tender notes which by law would satisfy the jnmrment. I cannot agree to the opinion, for the reasiMia given in my dissent ia the case of Broil son ts.
