A nero idea in Steam Machinery. Mr. Benjamin Harris, of this borough, lias conceived a plan by which sail ve-seis ol every description may be propelled wills the aid of steam, on piddles operating ver tically in the bottom of the vessel, above the keel, connected with the machinery above by a perpendicular shaft working in a metal cylinder, so constructed as to exclude the water.

Til e sails, .rigging, its liabilities, that while it was making its advances to States and corporations by millions, to be sunk in preposterous schemes, iis president, within a short time after the resumption of the New York banks, declared in his memorable letters to John Q. Adams, that Ihe modification of the Specie Circular had opened the way for a general resumption witnout difficulty. Iftiie ''.sincerity of the views of the banks" in refusing to redeem their obl'ga tions to the community from which they derive their charters, is to be measured by the truth of their ''honest anxiety to pro tect the interests of th State, and to husband its resources from being swept away by this current to England.' w suspect tint it will b ; difficult to obtain the approbation of any body of common dis cernment to this course of management.

MOSES BAKER, Ch'n. Jesse Mercek, Sec'y. Defence of the Philadelphia banks. The official manifesto of these institutions appears in the Globe to-day. It is about as ingenious as the case will admit of; but is dejective in one point, and that is in not stating the true cause of the present sus pension. This is to be found in the con duct pursued by the Bank of tbe United States after the suspension of 1S37. If it had then adopted the principles of action of the New York banks if it had taken measures for diminishing its outstanding obligations, and curtailing its business, the resumption effected in 1S38 would not have been premature cither for it or the o'her banks of Philadelphia. But, instead of contracting, it expanded. By exchnmr mr its notes for those of the Mississippi b'ks, it encouraged them to- increase tllTT !ltltPed from every well -Mi,hcd principle of banking.

Whether this experiment upon tbe peo ple of that Stale will succeed, remains to be seen. It is a source of high gratifica tion to all friends and supporters of hones ty and good faith, that so many banks have determined to stand to their engage ments. 'Their first duly is to the community who have so liberally enabled them, by the circulation of their currency as money, to make such large profits. Nothing can be more outrageous than the exportation of lawful currency to meet the claims of loreign creditors, leaving our own citizens to be cheated by shinplastcrs. We are greatly mistaken if the suspended 'banks every where no not eventually discover that they relied too much upon the gulla bility of the American people in this mat ter. Time'will show. ib.

On Sunday morning, a la. ge number of the inhabitants turned out in search of his body, under the impression that he had been murdered. After searching two hours, they found his body in a brook about a mile from the house he h id bor rowed the umbrella.
