4 i i 1 I. '15 .V.'i (WHIG) States. Louisiana I Alabama . Kentucky Indiana Illinois Missouri Tennessee Front the JVejo York Herald, Money market. Thursday, Oct. 1st. k Mr Webster's late speech, " Wall stieet, was almost altogether on the subject of the ; currency, and may be considered, if we take into view the conclave with which he was closeted at the Astor House most of the day previous, the outline of the future movements ofthe new administration. The Sub-Trea sury plan is to be done away with, and a Na tional Bank to be established, in which the Federal Government is to be interested, it would seem, from the following passage: - "The General Government, if it should ever act upon this subject again, would look particularly in reference to the matter of issues. A national institution should have no tempta tion to make money. A limit should be put to the amount of dividends, and all money made beyond that limit, should go into the Public 'Treasury, and not into script." The statements made by Mr Webster, as facts, in support of his argument in favor of a National Bank, are in most instances to tally at variance with the truth. lie appears 10 nave stood still during the last five years, vnue me commercial world has been convul sed, and dearboiight experience proved the fallacy of former dogmas. He commences by stating that a specie currency is a fallacy and a delusion. He then cites England as an example of great prosperity, owing to her - - paper system. At this time Great Britain, wiih U&r starving Inhabitants, lier popular commotions, and ruined merchants, with the report of her parliamentary committees, as cribing the distresses of the past four years to . the maladministration of the banks, is rather a lame witness to produce, in favor ofthe be uefits of a National Bank. Mr Webster then ; states, that in hard iHOliev countries!, sic in Cuba, the revulsions in Drices and rates if Maryland - produce are greater than in ennntrioa u.lio. S. Carolina paper system exists. If Mr Webster will turn to the Herald of the 1st of August, he will find an elaborate translation of the report ui me vouni ae vnianeuva, on the trade, re venue, and resources of the island of Cuba, uiai wiu exhibit undeniable proofs of the steadily increasing prosperity of the island, and presenting a strong contrast to the state oi uiose isianas, as St. lhomas, Jamacia, and others, where banks have been establish eo. ia describing the benefits to bo derived from a national paper money, Mr Webster makes the following singular statement mi x give you, gentlemen, a stronger proof of this truth than you know now to exist? nere all the banks of this city pay in specie. It is a fact well known from here to Texas. ne nanus ot Philadelphia and the Bank of me united states do not pay specie, and their notes are at a discount here in Wall street, of some three to five per cent. I do not Know which it is but what is the state of things on the frontier? Why your currency will not go at Arkansas or Missouri, and that urreucy wnicn is at a premium here in New lork, is not there equal to that ofthe Bank or me United States, and the latter is prefer rea because there is an odor of nationality auuu' wmcu ciings to ir, bangs around it, and will be there in spite of all the wire drawn tneones mat ever were set afloat."

It should be recollected that at the World Convention, held in London, to consult on the proper plan to consummate the entire Ab olition of Negro Slavery, at which Prince Albert presided, and to which delegates from this country were present, it was determined that the most effective mode to carry out the views ot the Abolitionists, was to discourage giuwiu ui couou in me American states, and encourage it in the East Indies.

When I last wrote you, on the 5th ulL I promised to write again by the first steamer. The "Queen" will probably leave in a day or two, and I hasten to drop you a few lines bv her. You will recollect that I rather scouted the idea of there being a war in Europe that the fiery French would cool down and the phlegmatic English would cease to bluster, but things have suddenly assumed a verv different aspect, and I should not be surprised if tne whole ot Europe was soon in a blaze of war. lne little black Egyptian sovereign seems to defy all the powers ofthe earth. He haughtily rejects the treaty the ultima tum - of the four great powers, England, Russia, Prussia, and Austria. . This news is received here this day; and to an American the high talk and notes of preparation are not without interest. It is generally supposed, and for myself I doubt not the correctness of the supposition, that the Egyptian Sovereign a uaitieu m ins pretensions by France. It' so, there must be war. That she has the promise of aid from some quarter there can be no kind of doubt, else Mehemet Ali would not dare to refuse or acquiesce to the "ultima tum" of four such powers. A short time must decide. The prospect ofthe crops is much better; the weather for harvesting has been propitious, and grain is tolerably well secured. x uere nas been an immense fire here, or rather two fires, on the 27th August, which destroyed property to the amount of near l CO,0UC or half a million of dollars.
