THE HERALD. FRIDAY. APRIL 14, 1837. rn- THE UEEALD OFFICE wilt REMOVE on itf of May to No. 41 ANN STREET, door uul of atd oppoaUe the Vftry Ro-jtnt the Dutch Church.

The Election. The Whigs have carried the city most probably out and out. In the first three nrds Cj-akk. the Whig candidate, has a majority of 2095 votes the other Wards not all counted. This is the beginning of the revolution.

We add the official returns of the wards as far at present heard from. 1st ward, majority 693 for Clark 2d 653 3d 730 4th 227 entire whig ticket 5th 270 12th 14 242 Morgan 13th HO "Clark 100 entire whig ticket I5th 617 Clark Thp UauktiiK System? Meeting at I lie City Hnll. Last evening at six o'clock, a second meeting of the Wail street bankers took place at the City Hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present condition of commercial affairs, and of devising a remedy for the terrible crisU now upon us. There was a great deel of talk? and conversation? and suggestion andabfurdity? mid ignorance? and amiability? an inanity? and some knowledge and more pretension. Propositions of various kinds were made hut propositions are easier made than executed.

Meantime, while these gentlemen aie endeavoring to stay a torrent brought upon the country by their own conduct, let us give them a spiesd and perfumed homily on matters of which they appear to be most profoundly ignorant. The three greatest inventions of modern times are the invention of printing the discovery of steam power? and the whole phenomena of banking, exchanges and paper money. The effects of banking we see beiore us in the general progress of civilization, knowledge, philosophy and rational religion to which we may add the elevation of the character of woman. Steain power and paper money arc equally extraordinary elements of civilization the one in the civilization of inan, woman end things the other in the circulation of credits, values and property. The existing prejudices against banking and paper money? which, however, only appear the higher regions of government, or the lower regions of the gin and watch house? arc the oHspring of ignorance and miasm an agement? ignorance of the people at large -and mismanagement of the banks in special.

We never accuse steam power of blowing a dozen fellow beings into eternity? we visit the casualty upon the ignorant engineers and the inattentive managers. We do not blame the sublime art of printing for creating revolutions, wars, bloodshed, or general licentiousness of manners it is the mismanagement of that powerful weapon by public writers andcorrupt charlatans. So it is in the phenomena of banking, exchanges, and paper money. the great businesa of human life in the circulation ofproductt? in the exchange of commodities? and in the progress civilization, the invention of ing, with all us incidents and attributes, is one of the most original, scientific and philosophical movements that ever dawned upon the world. When managed by men of skill and talent, its influence on civilization fully rqual to printing or steam power.

The banking system of the United States has been one of the main causes of its vast industry its prodigious wealth its wonderful improvement its rapid advancement in all the arts of life and happiness. It has produced an pflecl equal to that citised by the invention of steam. The fulininationa wlii have been uttered of late by the ignorant loafers of the white palace at Washington or by tiieir associate loafers in the gn shops at the Five Points, have only sprung from gnorance, gross and brutal and beastly ignorance of one of the ureatest elements of civilization. The abuses of the system, onginat rig in the atrocious quackeries of the present managers of onr banks, have been seized upon and held up to the world as the character of the system itselr. Such abuses ought not to be.

The present frrriblw revolution in commerce, now eve the country, has been cu used, not by ihe sysuni of banking, but by its abuse by its corrupt nnd ignorant mismanagement? by the atrocious quac of the presidents and directors of our hanks, who, by their position, possess theselc power ovtjr the sources of our currency, nnd can, at their pleasure, regulate its contractions and expansions. In New Orleans, and in Mobile, a free and intelligent press is in developing the criminal and corrupt mismanagement of their bunks, caused by the present ignorant rare of directors and managers. In the former one paper, the "True American," took an early ind a philosophical view of thepiesent state of bank rig, almost as early as we did, in this metropolis. Tho ternbU revulsion now upon us, has forced upon all a al nvesiigation of the subject, and while our talented eolcmporaries tit New Orleans and the aouth, are searching out the causes of the evils there, let us I a equally employed here in probing them to tbe quick. We rt, therefore, and dare a contradiction from any quarter, that the present terrible in oinint rce, which will, before it shall ive run its of destruction, prostrate one-fourth of the -ouniry the giddy heights of atlluenceand to th lowest state of dejection nnd poverty we aeeert?

Read and The commercial revolution goes on. No more failures have taken place in New Oilcans, but a terrible feeling is generating against the past system of business. In Charleston, pressure is severe. Baltimore easy. Baltimore, April 12, 12 o'clock, M.

Money of par value, although not so veiy difficult to obtain us some short tunc ago, is far from being plenty? there has been sonic extension of Bank discounts but the wants of the community wire loo many and too great in the aggregate, to Ik- wholly relieved by the rod which it was safe and practicable for the Hunks at once to give. The discount on notes distant Hanks has lately greatly increased within a few days it was found iiiipracticable to dispose ot South Carolina Hank paper at a less premium than len per cent, and notes of Oeorgc Hanks could not be converted into bankable funds at any premium. The notes of a safe specie paving Hank in Wheeling are at a discount of two and a half per cent although the intercourse is so prompt and frequent between thai Baltimore. Notwithstanding these difficulties the course ofbuainess in Baltimore is much nearer to what it was in good times than it is in uiiy other large commercial city in the United States. Confidence in eac other in our mercantile community is but little, if at diminished; and a general disposition prevails to aid and accommodate each other.

It is very justly said in morning paper that the failures in New York and Philadelphia are failures of our creditors not of our debtors and of course we sustain no loss by them? Only one failure has occurred in Baltimore of any importance and that resulted from acccpting largely in expectation of timely remittances from a house in New Orleans, which were prevented by the failure of the New Orleans house and but little-injury resulted to the friends of the merchant in this city. ChablestOn, April Banks and the Pressure. We understand that the Banks kave, with great unanimity and liberality, agreed jointly on the following terms, for the relief of our community. 1st. For the ensuing CO days, only ten per cent will be required on all renewals.

2nd. That during the same period, the Banks will not curtail their preseut discounts or lessen the acc nmnodation heretofore afforded the community, but will discount at cash, to the extent of their weekly receipts. 3rd. That approved Bills on the North, be taken at he following rates 30 day drafts 1 percent GO day drafs 1 3-4 percent 90 day drafts 2 1 2 per cent. We recognize with great satisfaction the above arrangement, because we believe that the temporary pressure under which this city has been laboring, has not been the result of an unsound slate of things among ourselves, but from the heavy curtailments which the Hanks have felt it necessary to make in their accommodations? a necessity brought upon them by large and incessant demands for Specie.

At a period like this, when the financial storm is raging at the two extremities of our Union (New York and New Orleans) with little promiae of mitigation, the force of public opinion should i brought to bear upon those, who for comparatively paltry arc (lie instruments of visiting the severest suffering on their follow citizens. Modile, April 5. The Sea Sebpent. The ship Havre, C'apt.

As this monster of the deep mown gradually from the ship ne.ir the sulfate of the witer, its motion appeared like that created by a ser: of bar Is rolling in water in direct line.

The day was perfectly calm, and all on board had a fair view of his honor, the monster, for the space of halt' an hour, when he shook Ins tail in token of adieu and 1 It th'" ship. Com. lit raid.

Several beta were offend and on her against the fit id, and some bet two to one the same ay. Scarlet, it was contended would be sccond In st, but as for American Citizen, he to be stanccd "and, no mistake." After due pr linunancs, the time arrived for starting, the word was given, and the nags were Scarlet having the track and taking the lead American Citizen closely following, and Virginia Fairfield purposely bringing up the rear. The mare, however, quickly made play lor the horses, and on the stretch gained upon American Citizen, and, before reaching tnc third quarter, passed lum, and look her position the mi Idle, keeping Scarlet up to his work in earnest to hold his own.

This he did, however, with great go will, round the Course a second time, and a third, a'thoui in the course of tke thud mile, and while running along the strait stretch, the mare so gained upon lum at one tune, as to cause the multitude to shout simultaneously that she had 1 him; but jast at that moment, she lost again, and had to content herself with letting Scarlet win the first heat. American came in third sf. Time, 5m. Us. The sec nd heat's starting was very fair.

Scarlet had the inside, but Virginia (-airfield a trifle the lead. Scarlet soon pass however, and was immediately by her passed in return, while American Citizen was following them with renewed energy. Indeed, fore three-fourths of a mile was run he passed Sc.iri and on making the turn to come home, the mare also came in ahtadand thus passed on and held his position during the second mile, and the first of the third, when the mare lappud him for a moment? then again hegai.edon her, and his friends began to think he was about shaking ofl' his thargy for good but just as confidence began to grow strong American Citizen began to grow weak again.

By the last arrival of the ptrkfl, tht rench Mirmtif receivrd inftnictiorm from hisbovernmenr, to demand immediate restitu uon from tkia Government, of the amount taken from tiie French cmxens, under tbe decree of the Force Loan, and an adjustment ofall ether matters in controverey be haa not yet received hia answer from this Government. The English Minister, I am informed, received similar instructions. On the night of the 4th inst. the Message of the President of tne United States, was receivwl by this Government by express from Vera Cruz, via New Orleans. It produced a greater sensation in this Capital, than any circumstance for a long time.

Congress was convened the next day, in secret session. fur as 1 cun learn, their action was any thing but favorable to an amicable adjastment of the official between the two countries. I also hear, that the Chambers were discussing the propriety of issuing Privateer Licenses, and sending them up the Mediterranean, by nn agent, for sale. The Government und people seem lo treat the Messege with the utmost contempt. I am anxiously looking for information from Washington city.

Our citizens with capital, consider their situation at this crisis, critical and dangerous. A commotion has spoken of in tke city for these two or three nights, inconsequence of the depreciation of the copper currency, which is, I was told to-day, 50 per cent discount; and there was no doubt, of this circumstance alone, producing a convulsion in this distracted country, and our citizens fear a suquco, if not loss of life. ThePrics's, themselves distrust, of ull moral, or religious obligations from the Confession Box and Pulpit, daily excite the licentious and superstitious lepros, which compose nine-tenths of the population. Prejudice against foreigners, attributing all of their misiry to them, charge them th abstracting the Plata oro from the country.

Santa Anna still remains at his Hacieado, de Manga de Clavo, waiting the result events, and the movement of sub Amig a in I had the pleasure of addressing you on the Hth mst. via. Tampica. On the morning of the i'lh there was manifested distrust through the capital; about 10 o'clock the government published a Bando relative to the copper coin, reducing its nominal value to per cent discount. About 11 o'clock, the whole city manifested strong symptoms of com motion, collecting near the palace ana market place, the dense mass of poor miserable lepros moving about tike the waves of a troubled sea? en to desperation by the depreciation of the millions of valueless copper currency the Government have issued.

In a few minutes after 11 there was a general rush through the streets, and all doors instantly closed and barricaded, expectiac a saqjeo. In the mean time the troops made their appearance, and cannon were drawn out in the plaza de Palacio, and about 12 o'clock, the military succeeded in restoring tranquility, and the Government issued threatening handbill? through the city against any person who should refuse copper at the fixed value, and the Governor of the city another, ordering all doors opened under a fine of FJ00 to those who did not. A regular patrol was established through the city, and kept up until this morning. All is quiet, but by no means settled down so. Ibid.

March 15. We had another revolutionary movement. Foreigners houses were attacked by the populace and all tneir windows broken. In some houses in the nortals, they were not dispersed until some were killed by the soldiers. On Saturday many were shot and lanced.

Though much excitement pervaded the whole c' pitol on Sunday, they were kept down by the troops. On Saturday, disaffection manifested itself among the latter, as the goverment were in arrears to them they succeeded in procuring funds from the merchants and paid them off. Otherwise they would in all probability have joined the myriads of robbers and murderers, which composed about three-fourths of the population, and the city would have fell a prey to a druadful and merciless saquco? there is such a licentious population in the world as in this place and Puebla, and their prejudice and hatred against estrangerous is dnily encouraged by the Padres. On Monday night it was undestood that the troops were to proclaim Gen. Bustamente Dictator, and besides the regular patrol in all the streets, extra guards were at the corners of streets.

No person is allowed to pass vithout being overhauled? at 11 at night the officers waitsd on the general for his assent, but he would not yeid to ineir views. They have demanded the resignation of Mr. Corro, the President ad interim, and I hoar that he sent it to Congrt ss sterday, but they could not form a quorum, and I have not heard whether Congress acted on it to-day or not. It is said they will notacccpt it, as his funntic principles suit the part who have a majority in Congress. fit n.

Our planters are composed of men who have emigrated from Virginia, Carolina and Georgia, bringing with them their negroes and money, which they have laid out in land at a low price. They have devoted themselves entirely to the culture cotton, neglecting to raise stock or grain, finding from the enormous profits the staple, that it was belter to pay a corresponding price for the necessaries of life tnau to raise them The manner of conducting business here will experience a change, and it will benefit Mobile exceedingly.

Our State Hank is a complete political machine, and has indicted upon us a stt of men calling themselves (loafers, rather? who have been a greater pest to the community than would have been a seven years' itch. The direetors of the Bank are appointed by the legislature. The practice has for those who have friends in the legislature to visit th? seat of government, and elec1 tioneer with oysters and champagne, and rlorm log-rolling in all its branches. On The Planters' and Merchants' P.snk was created in this manner. The "smart fellers" are made bonk directors, and tht we hear ofTom, Dick and Harry as commission merchants in Mobile? they receive any quantity of cetton.

The planters rally around them bccnusc the; arc the boys to favor their interests. Theae eie the men thai have taken the life blood out of the community, and sucked the bank like a horse leech.

A meeting of the Merchants and Citizens, was convened on Saturday last, to take into consideration the present state of affairs and endeavor to restore confidence between the city and country. The planters have taken alarm and are holding back their cotton.

It will no doubt result in much good. It is said that two millions of dollars put in circulation would set all things right. This state has 8880,952 of the surplus revenue unappropriated. It was proposed to request the Governor to convcne the Legislature and for them to pass an act authorising the Bank to issue post notes.

Will the Microscope please to make the amende honorable 1 Flower Auctiok. We have had plenty of furniture auctions lately, and shall have more. There have been sales of horses, of houses, and of fashionable furniture the latter only is worth attending at a Isunge as at such only do the ladit condescend to enliven with their presence the dull details of business. An exhibition of a very attractive kind takes place at half past ten today, at No. 18 Courtlaad street.

It is a sale of nearly one hundred beautiful Camellias and Dahlias, lately imported from London. We have ne doubt it will be attended by throngs of beings as fair and fragrant as the articles they go to buy. The catalogue presents quite a fascinating array of names. We have always objected to the truth nf that hackneyed phrase?" what's in a name1?" The rose by any other name would not smell as sweet. The association of ideas between the name and object is inseparable.

What sentimental beauty of sweet sixteen' could resist the purple flower offered ts her as the Rose d' Amour' This name we see among the Dahlias. There is also "Lady Hume's among the Camellias. What a pretty idea! what a delicate compliment! Also the "Metropolitan Blush'' very rare, we presume. What lovesick damsel could refuse a and what devoted wife a The "Lovely Ann" will be eagerly caught up by some secret admirer, whose goddess rejoices in that name; arid the "Painted Lady" find a ready purchaser in some sympathising dowager. This christening of these beautiful productions of nature is ingenious, and in most of the cases, elegant and appropriate.

We have no doubt the sale will be well attended. Ladies sweet, beautiful fair onc6 do not forget to be at No. 18 Courtland street today at 10 o'clock, to see all these enchanting flowers yourselves the fairest flowers. Oh! that we could be a bird? bee only a bee one day for one hour! The m-avk case again. Yesterday as we notified (he case of Jacob, Kllia or Dixon, the reputed slave came on for another hearing before the Recorder.

A number of witnesses were examined, among them Mi. John Williams, a colored minister of the inethodist persuasion, who testified to his having met with Ellin or Dixon, as he is now called, at several pruyer meetings, prior to 1632 the time he is said to have absconded from his owner. Chief Justice Uloodgood was examined, touching the occurrences of the rescue on Wednesday he produced a pair of loaded pistols, which were taken from a negro, to show the excitement and detei initiation that prevails among the colored population on this subject. Kichard Livingston was examined and deposed to his having employed Dixon as a white-wnsher considerably antecedent to his alleged absconding. The argument un both sides was long and prosy every debatable inch of ground bung fiercely contested.

The Recorder, after listening to the belligerent counsel for a considerable tune, undertook to cut the short, which he did by adjourning the cause until Monday next. The excitement among the negroes seems to be in a great measure alleged. There were, compared with the crowd collected yesterday, but few assembled. It is but justice to or Dixon, whatever his name be, to say that he had no share in the rescue of yesterday and that he was absolutely compelled into the measure by the blai ks who surrounded himself and the officers.

The of England aad Canada hava generally been founded on a solid foundation? but the want of in London been proiubly created by aome derangement of the trade of Canada with Liverpool, or a deficiency iu the imliortalion of emigrants to Canada, whose in fpeeic are picked up by the Bank of Montreal and sent to England, thioughNew York, to form the bus.s of a part ibeir exchange The in this country ha unquestionably, been precipitated by the determination of the Bank of England to put an end to the system ofcredits, or accommodation exchanges passing and re passing between the two countries.

We call it kite flying here. In Pi.bruary last, the made an application to the bank of England, for of live millio.is of Before that date, the Bank, by itsowu separate action, a blow at ter, in order to ehtek the ledit systemi xi ended to the United States.

It appears at the accommodation paper, bated en the American trade, in Enylaiiil, amounted to neaMy fify millions, embracing a period of six montls. Probkbty a thiid of the amount K.ny have bi en founded on sens, ble and legitimate transactions? but a Urge proportion the naidue waa founded en the high prices of ootton and storks, which huve been the principal exports for some time The depression ol the prices of cotton will be 25per cent on the whole crop? equivalent to in a single year? the return of stocks also something. This is not equal to our English Again by tlie recent int laws, god, aawill as silver, ia made a part oftHr legal currency in this country. Formally our legal tender and currency was principally silver. ith England, therefore, where fold alone the basis ofthe paper circulation, we come into roiupeti ion fur a of that precious metal.

677 banks and paper require a gold baais to support them The vauous banks of England with a paper currency of according to our somputat ion? also require a solid specie basis? hence tlie strug Je between th two countries lor the specie. Tlie great effort for the last few months has been who shall have this apecie In the struggle, these terrible explosions, now en record, have taken place. It is a struggle whether the backing of England or that ofthe United states ahull fall to pieces. Thy specie in both just sufti tient, and not much more, to sustain theer dit and solvency of either the one or the otherthere is not enough tor troth.
