THIS EVENING POST. TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 19. It ia nid that a tortoise i several day in dying a let its head hat bjen cut off. Ther art thing, however, mar tenacious of life than animals of the tortoi kind. If one of the luaeious monster of the GUipaoe Wanda, not wlj after its head had been cut off.

but after it fcad been divested of it shell, sliced jq pi nd made into soup, were to collect its scattered limbs and crawl out of the soup tureen upon the table, the goeaU would be hardly more surprised than many good people are at seeing the question of a national bank come up again That question has been fully before the people for Years, viewed en all sides, debated till every body was sick of the debate, and finally settled against the establishment of bank. It was settled by the re election of General Jackson, by the election of Congress hostile to a bank, and by the election of Mr. Van Birren i all of these elections being beld with special reference to the bank question. We thoua ht that the monster, as it has been called, was at rest forever. General Jackson and the people had Cut ofl its head and chopped it into mince meat, and we will leave it to the whig themselves to say whether Mr.

Biddle and his associates did Mot ftrward. oaks it into soup yet now it comes crawling out of the tureen upon the table cloth. The subject of a National Bank occupies a con siderable space in most of the which receive," say a whig journal now lying before Us, the Philadelphia National Gazette. True enough. The very prints which, while the' late lection of President and members of Congress were pending, most studiously avoided this ques tion, are now open mouthed fir a national bank, Before the elect km they and all the leaders of the whig party blinked the project of a bank as an unpopular one and likely to endanger ihesuccem of their candidates, and tuned the controversy by every pos sible artifice to other topics.

Now they scarcely talk of any thing else. Their party obtained the ascendancy by pretending to be eager for other objects they use the ascendency as if thebank bad been the great object in dispute as if the election had principally turned upon this single point. When Mr. Clay laid before the Senate his plsn of a national bank two or three yesrs since, be in ti mated that the people were not then ready to admit soch project, and that he kept it in obeyance until they should call for a great fiscal institution. During the whole of the late election, the fe whig leaders who would confess themselves friendly to national bank, declared thai they would only' support the measure when the people should at length demand it In the mean timo they took special care that the election should be so conducted that the question of a bank should not come before the people.

The success of their ticket did not in the remotest degree involve a demand for a bank. Yet we se that the moment they are in power they make haste to establish a bank as the first of thsir measures. A special session of Congress is Immediately called, principally fur that purpose; public meeting are beld in which the creation of a bank is recommended without consulting the people through a second election petitions for a bank are got up and circulated for signatures and the whig press come out in full cry for the immediate establishment of a bank. If the whig leaders had chosen to punue a fair and manly policy, if they had wished to preserve a character fur sincerity and jutt dealing, we should have teen none of this haste to accomplish an ob lect which ther bad careful! kept out of sight. If they had desired to establish a bank they should, instead of calling a special session, have laid their project before the nation, declared their intentions with the utmost frankness, invited and encouraged discussion, sod waited until the elections, held with a special reCrrenca to the question of bank or no bank, )iad pronounced the opinion of the people.

It was only by suck a courss that they could have maintained their credit fnt honesty of purpose. They ksve marked out for themselves a different line, of conduct The fraud of fastening a bank upon the nation without first consulting its will, will be accomplished at the approaching session of Congress, if the administration can possibly command a majority, It only remains for those who oppoee the cheat, to declare that they will take ad Vantage of the reaction of public opinion which must inevitably follow, to repeal, at the earliest possible moment, the charter obtained by so gross an act of knavery. Couktt Cor sr. At the session of this court held yesterday, there were present, the Mayor, Recorder, Judges Ula Ingraham and Inglis, of the Common Fleas, and Judges Lynch and Noah of the Session, and the seventeen Aldermen.

Stxiv awp Thxitb, one of the most entertaining of Mary Howitt's popular tales, has been published by Applet fc No, 900 Broadway. Correspondence of the Evening Pes. i PaoviDiarcs, R. May 11. 1841.

In this part of the "world" in this immediate city the celebration of the great National Be reavement" was distinguished by two very oaa events. I The first took place in the Custom House, from Whence a Mr. Williora R. Watson, who is now enacting part of Collector, issued, in imitation of the immortal Jonathan Roberts, ot me cm, mn4 other fiutvu heroes WUUUiJ Ul rUUiaiMiai and lions of the present aay mu Imperial Wrase, informing au tn i i speetors, weigher, messuTers, owiuqu porters, that they were Oismissea irora jne public service snd would not be wanted any longer. because it had been decided by Daniel Webster and Tommy Ewin; the latter the very prince of chowder heeds, and the former famous for being a great Constitutional Lawyer that it was unconstitutional" to retain in the public pay, any man who dared, at the lata election, to vote for any other citizen than William Henry Harrison.

A Mr. Watson is a man of nice principles and morality, he could not have selected a fitter occasion to carry out the constitutional views" of the great Constitutional Lawyer," than the very day which had been act apart to transform the fame of the venerated dead from (doom to glory He accordingly seated himself on a blue chest, and whilst he held a yellow cotton bandanna kerchief to his eyes, with hi sinister hand he signed the sentences of the doomed inspectors, weighers, etc, etc. Whilst he wa performing this pious service, this labor imposed, according to Daniel Webster, by thai sacred instrument, the "constitution," he wept, and reflected on the virtues and heroic chivalry of the late President, And sighed as he tugged at the oar." Mr. Jefferson, in his Notes on Virginia, says that it is worth a voyage across the Atlantic to view the concussion of the waters of the Shenandoah and Potomac at Harpers Ferry. It were' worth" a around the world, accompanied with all the the disadvantages and difficulties that were encountered by Sir Francis Drake and Lord Anson, to witness this illustrious Mr Watson, sitting on a blue chest, on the dsy of the celebration of the great nalioaaljliereavement," engaged, with a yellow cotton kerchief at his eyes, in the work of de capitation As soon as the job was completed, the immortal Collector of the port of.

Providence, issued his Imperial Ukase, and gave to the public, through the official gazette, a list of the appoint ment he liad made, in concurrence with the opi nions of the great "constitutional lawyer," and with the approbation of master Ewing. And now, on what grounds, on what assumption do you suppose that the former incumbents had been removed Why, some of them, all I believe, with one exception, bad been guilty of the enormous crime of daring to entertain democratic principles; of voting for the election of Martin Van Buren They had dared to exercise the elective franchise; they had been guilty of the damnable sin of availing themselves of the rights of American citizens. In the exercise of these rights, they had preserved the courtesies of gentlemen, and the decencies of life they had not been brawlers or noisy dec burners in the high ways and by way but had voted their own free will, and that wa discovered to be unconstitutional" by the "great Constitutional Lawyer;" it amounted, in hi opinion to an interference with the freedom of elections," and they were denounced And who were the patriot who were placed in possession of the vacated inspectorships! They were men of respectability, of good names, whig of the most decided and unqualified character, who had, under the promise of reward, year after year bowod most obsequously to the domination of party and week after week employed themselves in revelling in a log cabiu, amid the drunken orgies and carousals of as delectable a set of scoundrel demagogues as ever escaped the harness of the galley, or the wall of a penitentiary. I know all these me well, and some of them intimately, and whilst I am ready to do justice to their private worth, I an also ready to contemn and detest the way in which they reached the place they now occupy. They were favored with place a the price of their servility to party; and in many instance blushed for their own degradation, and sight to escape the boa constrictor embraces of the faction, which like the Demon in Ambrosio, they knewwas elevating them to the clouds for the moment for the purpose of rendering their ultimate destruction the more terrible.

Yours, tc. JOHN SMITH, of Arkansas. Corretpondenee of the Evening Poet Albakt, May 14th. I was wrong in conjecturing that the legislature would adjourn on the 90th for the whigs have had a caucus and agreed to go home on the 2Gth. The subject was brought before the Senate to day, by a resolution of Mr.

Skinner to adjourn on the 20th, but the wh igs rejected it by a vote of 1 5 to 1 1 So we shall have hardly got through with the palaver ing of this body, before we shall be saluted by the political chanticleers of the extraordinary Con Kress. It is nothing but legislation legislation for this and legislation for that legislation on all subjects, legislation at all seasons as Charles Lamb would it is perpetual legislation. For one, I am heartily tired of it. If these wiseacres, who yearly or semi annually assemble in solemn convocation lemn enough, Heaven know, like a convoca tion of owls, looking very wise but doing nothing if these wiseacres were to accomplish a particle of good, they might be endured. We should tole rate them for the same reason that we put up with other offensive things because we could not well do without them.

As it is, they are almost what Burke says of the heart of a thorough bred metaphysician. pure, unmixed, indefecated evil." Upon my soul, I am half inclined to believe, the people of this state would get on much better if they had no legislature at all. If the inhabitants of each ctKinty or town would take the management of matters in their own hands, something would be done. Certain it is, that those stupendous schemes of internal improvement, which first exhaust the lung of our legislative 'orators, and then exhaust the resources and credit of the trea sury, that those flagitious attempts te direct the power of the whole state to the aggrandizement of a men, that those practical tyrannies and little piece of despotism which a large central authority inevitably runs into, that those ludicrous mistakes, tbq follies and bungling resorts, to which men who come together to legislate on' matters they kMiw nothing about, are liable would be most eA ctually avoided. Jiut enough of this project for the present.

The ground upon which the British Government make this demand upon the Government of the United States, are these that the transaction, on account of which Mr.

McLeod rtam Imoti ararfd and is 10 De put upon nis ixiai. was a transaction of a public character, planned and triid bv uersons dulr empowered by her Ma jesty's Colonial Authorities, to take any steps and to do any acts wnicn migni oe nwomuy ior ine defence of her Majesty's territories, and for the pro tection of her Majesty's subjects, and that conse auentlv those subjects of her Majesty, who engaged in that transaction, were performing an act of public duty for which they cannot be made personally and individually answerable to the Laws and Tribunals may ivtvafju vwmw Counsel then read several of the public documents, laid before Congress, consisting of despatches sent from the authorities of Buffalo to the go vernment or tne united states, detailing we rise and progress of the insurrection as far as persons trom the united states were concerneo. The first' was an extract of a letter from Mr. Scott to Mr: Philmore, dated Buffalo, 13th December, 1837, stating that McKenzie and Ralph were then there and had attended a large meeting last night, and caused great excitement, and that it was said many persons were going to put themselves under McKenzie and maicn tnat nignc out ww few of the respectable citizens, with the exception of addressed tne meeting, nau nitea a part in it Counsel next read an extract from a letter from the Mayor ot wmato to uie rresiaem, dated 14th December. 1837.

stating that recent oc currence in that city snd frontier, rendered ne cessary for him to call the attention or. tne executive to it, lest this country might ba compromised with the English government that, an immense meeting had been held mere on ine ntn instant, which was addressed by McKenzie, who avowed his wish to get men to assist and that hand bills were stuck up calling on the people to be rea dy to proceed to Canada tnat a general was ap pointed to take the command, ana mat some volunteer who had marched out of the city returned again and took 3000 stand of arms from the arse nal, and that the civil government had no force sufficient to keep the movements down, unless it was sustained by the general government. Counsel next read an extract ol a letter from Mr. Barker, Collector of the Customs at Buflklo, to Mr. Benton, dated December, 1S37, stating that no doubt the law had been violated, that men were raised, and arm taken forciblv, and a body of men Bad marched through the city under Sutherland.

Another letter from samej dated 23d of December, stated, great excitement existed, and that the pa triots were on the lMagara river seven or eight hundred men, and that others were following to join van Kanasalaer. Other letters were read which also said that six or seven hundred stand of arms were taken by force from Bututo, and carriages of guns which were taken to Navy Island to act against Upper Canada. This letter stated that the press would do all it could to prevent such conduct. JNext was read a letter from Mr. ox to Mr.

or syth, dated January 4th, 1538, of which the following is an extract "I have the honor to enclose you a despatch from Sir F. Head, Governor of Up per Canada. It appears, and the tact has been confirmed by other accounts, that Upper Canada has been invaded by armed men trom the United States, with ammunition, and that there is at Navy Island a body of men, partly the outlaws from Canada, and part citizens of the United States, commanded by a native American, Van Ransalaer, and that they get from the farms about it, provisions, in defiance of the known laws of the nited States. I know that the President regrets this as much as me, this unprovoked war between the people who are at peace. It is therefore not an unfriendly act to point out to the government of the United States how its laws have been violated, and appeal to that government to resist these dis asters before they go to a length which we both must regret," Mr.

Forsyth wrote a letter in reply to Mr. Fox, dated January 5th, 1S3S, in which he said, that by direction of the President, he sent him copies of evidence sent te the department, of an extraordinary outrage committed on American citizens' property of the State of New York, at a moment when the President was endeavoring to allay the excitement, and which was well necessarily a case demanding redress from her majesty's government. The letter went on to express the hope that mea sures would be taken by the authorities in Canada, i i i i i i to prevent tne possioiuiy oi a line occurrence, ana that the President had on his part, ordered a force for the prevention of such a thing again, which if it did occur, the President could not be answerable for the effects of the indignation it would excite. Counsel for prisoner said, we thick this last do cument most important from its bearing on the international law of the question at issue. In February 0, lUStt, Mr.

ox wrote a letter to Mr. Forsyth, in which he said, that in reference to the letter sent to bim by Mr. Forsyth by direction of the President, relative to the destruction of the Caroline, Mr. Fox now sent Mr. Forsyth a copy of a letter from Sir F.

Head, detailing the particular character of the Caroline, and that the necessity which existed to destroy that vessel in self defence, seemed fully established. The laws of the United States had been overborne by piratical men, and the people of Upper Canada had suf fered much, and in this state of things it appeared necessary for their security to destroy that piratical vessel wherever they could find it, Counsel next read a letter from JUr. Stevenson to Mr. Forsyth, enclosing a copy of his note to Lord Palmerston, relative to the attack on the Caroline, in which he acquaints Lord Palmerston that he ia instructed to bring before the view ot the British Government what was done bv the British authori ties, and which formed the subject of demand en. Her Majesty's government, counsel tor the prisoner said they intended to make that document an important argument, to show that a demand for redress was made by the United States government, that taking that document in connection with the others which had been read, it showed that the whole matter was considered a national affair by both government.

some further documents were read, all clearly showing that the government of the United States and that of England have, down to the present hour, unceasingly demanded, one the release of McLeod, and the other redress for the attack upon the Caroline. counsel for the prisoner had read all the documents they considered necessary, 7 Mr. Wood, of counsel for the people, stated the grounds of the demurrer, which are as follows: 1. Because the attack on the steamboat Caroline, a boat owned by a citizen of the United states, un connected with the insurgents of Navy Island, and navigating the waters of the Niggara' river, under a license from the United States government, and engaged for aught that appears in a lesl business, was maue wnusi arte was moored at dchloaser, in the State of New York, and without the jurisdiction of the Province of Upper Canada. i 2.

Because neither the Governor of Upper Canada nor Col. Allen McNab had any right, power or authority to sond men into this State to destroy the boat and all those acting under such unlawful orders are individually responsible their acta, 3. Because Amos Durfee, for the murder of whom the prisoner stands indicted, was a peacable citizen of the United States, and within the jurisdiction of this state, unconnected with the insurgents on Navy Island, and guilty of no offence against the laws of this State or of the United States, nor against the right of Great Britain, and wa killed upon the main land in this after having left the boat and flying unarmed and unresisting from the assailants, after they were in possession of the boat, and the assault upon whom by the prisoner was neither directly or necessarily connected with the destruction of to Caroline, nor necessary to the defence of the territories of Great Britain nor the protection of her subjects. 4. Because the matters set forth in the allegations of the prisoner do not tend to establish that the prisoner was exempt from the arrest nor that the commitment or detention are or have been illegal, but that the same, so far as they are pertinent to the issue between the people and prisoner, apply exclusively to the question of his guilt or innocence, which is not now before the court.

Because it appears by the Sheriffs return that the prisoner is imprisoned and detained on an indictment of murdr to which he has pleaded not guilty, and the court cannot investigate the truth of such indictment or plea. Mr. Hall then informed the Court that aa he had not expected the question on the discbarge of the prisoner to come up this morning he was not prepared on the general merits of the case, He therefore requested until this morning for time to more particultriy examine the question. The further bearing of the case was then adjourned to this morning. i The following are the points made for the prisoner on the HabeoM Corpu The attack and destruction of the Caroline wa an act of public force done by the command of the British Government.

All that the prisoner did in it, if any thing, be did by command of superior officer and in obedience to hi own government. For acts done under such authority he is not responsible personally or individually in any court of law whatever. tjr. The Supreme Court has jurisdiction to try the offence charged in the indictment and may order it to be tried at bar It has jurisdiction therefore, to give advice and grant leave to the District Attorney, to order a nolle proaeqvi upon the indictment. The right to enter such nolle prosequi previous to the enactment of the revised statutes, was a oe vested in the Matjict Attorney, or Attor ne General It wa then and now the exer cise of the executive power of the government uniuencru aj cuuauKrauons oi sound ana wise expediency.

'The same reason which would induce tne law otocer at tne government to inter pose to prevent a trial ought to and will induce the Court to advise and allow the same thing to be done. Redres for this forcible and hostile invasion of the territory of the United States, the destruction of nroDertv and the kiliintr nf 7 an eany nay nemanosa ot tnav UtOmh. government by the. government of the United States, and the wnote itnaiter is iuu in tne course treaty between hetn, with a view to a full and just settle ment. State of New York therefore cannot discreetly or lawfully interpose its jurisdiction and aw njmaauw wj puuui lOlS puOUC imrnTT against the entire American nation, It i the ex ercise of an autnority by the State reaniniant to the constitution and laws of the United States, and bring the two jurisdictions in collision and con flict.

Its tendency is to tbwart the constitutional exercise of the treaty making power of the United States, and thus involve the two countries in 5. By the constitution of the United States, the power to declare war, conclude peace, and generally to superintend the foreign relations of ourcoun try, belongs to Congress or the general government, The act in which McLeod is alleged to have participated being an exercise of the public force of Great Britain, and of a hostile character, become the subject of reclamation, reprisal and war on the part ot tne government ot the United states, a hall see tit or it may demand acknowledgement, reparation or indemnity for the onence and injury and thereupon acknowledge itself satisfied. Any intenerence oi uie state authority will be ana is incompatible with the exercise of these high power. 6. If the alleged onence were cognizable by the Courts of the United States, the trial of the individual would be wholly incompatible with the pending negotiations between the two governments, and ante unwonny oi me honor and dignity ot botn.

7. Had the attack been made upon a port or an arsenal, in the District of Columbia or other place within the jurisdiction of the Courts of the United States and an indictment had been found in such Court, the ground of discharge would have been the same Men as note. If then the United States Courts ought to forbear to prosecute the individual, so ought now the State of New York. S. The foregoing are believed to be the sound views of the subject and satisfactorily show that this Court should discharge the prisoner.

Journal of Commerce. The ScMooifKm Mooui The alleged pi announced yesterday turns out to be no piracy. The case, however, from the extraordinary facts elicited appears to be none the less interesting than if a piracy had been committed. Three of the crew, Lyman French, James Canton, steward, and James Fox, arrived here on Sunday evening, in a schooner and sloop from Little Egg Harbor, and made report as to the vessel. The men, as above, were examined yesterday at the office of the United States District Attorney.

The cook of the Mogul made a statement which authorized the issuing of a warrant for the arrest of the captain and mate. Both were seen in the city on Sunday evening. If th cook state the truth, the captain designedly lost the vessel. He states that his suspicions of foul play were aroused some days before the loss of the vessel, by the manner of the captain such as running under short sail with a fair wind heaving to when there was no apparent necessity, and offering to sell the cook the schooner's boat for $10 but refused to sell the sail belonging to the boat The captain and mate, a few days since, had made each a strong canvass bag, which is now in possession of the cook. The Mogul wa about 140 tons, 4 years old, and worth about 4000.

Schooner was insured for $2000 cargo for about $350 and the captain, whose only interest was inthe freight was insured for $1000, which would have been netted to him had the vessel arrived here safe. The captain ha always borne an excellent character, botn with merchants and insurance companies. The statement of one of the three men, whose names we give below, is as follows Lyman French states, that on Monday evening, the vessel had been pumped as usual about ten o' clock, during his and the captain watch, again commenced pumping, atid found that the water had increased considerably. Reported the matter to the captain, who appeared to be alarmed, and immediately ordered the mate and the other men to be called on deck. Continued pumping, but finding the water still increasing, the captain ordered the boat got ready, which was immediately done.

The captain's chest and nautical instruments, the into it, and at about one or two o'clock, the left the vessel to row for land. At that time the schooner was lying to with top sail aback jib and mainsail set and filled foresail furled, and flying jib hauled down but not The leak appeared to be in the atern of the vessel, arid she had settled considerably aft. Part of the deck load Had been thrown over the bows, where it was first supposed the leak was two leak having been previously discovered after a heavy blow, when about twenty days out, immediately in the bows a little above the water line. The lightening of the vessel at the bows did not produce any effect upon the leak. While rowing for land, the boat passed several vessels, none of which, except one, were spoken.

The one spoken was a smack. Inquiries were made by those on board the smack, but no assistance offered. Captain Snow, Mr. Green, the male and the crew, were all in the boat, and landed at Little Egg Harbor about 12 o'clock at noon on Tuesday. rencn says, that a tier landing, the captain took from his chest a stocking, which appeared to contain specie took from the stocking 10 or 12 Mexican dollar, and then returned the stocking to the chest and locked it, The next morning the captain and mate left Little Egg Harbor for Philadelphia, taking with them the captain's chest, and leaving in charge of the men the nautical instru ments, which, together with tne boat, was brought on by the men.

French also states that while the boat was getting ready, the Stewart made several attempts to go into the cabin, but was prevented by the captain. Thomas Smith, alias Cunningham, was left at Little Egg Harbor, sick. Express. Fivb Person DmowNED. The Batesville News of the 23d ult, contains the painful account of the drowning of five persons under the following circumstances A Mrs.

Littrell had employed a young man by the name of Pyburn, aged 10 or 17, to carry her family, consisting of herself, four children and a young lady, from Cherokee Bay to Taylor's Bay. While descending Black river the canoe struck a snag and capsized Mrs. L. and one child clung to the canoe. Regardless of danger, and prompted only by the noble feelings which belong to a gallant spirit, young Pyburn succeeded in placing the young lady and one child into the canoe, and in his efforts to save the remaining two was drowned with them.

Thus perished a gallant youth. The canoe floated on bearing four persons incapable of managing her, and at length struck a drift, when two of the four found a watery grave. Mrs. L. and one child clung to the drift, and most providentially were rescued by the steamer Victoria on her downward passage.

They were almost naked and famished. Every attention was paid them by the officers and passengers of the boat, supplying them money, clothes, tc. A letter before us speaks in high terms of the conduct of the captain of the boat, and Wm. L. McGuire, of Baltimore, who was a passenger on the boat.
