In vour city alone, its operation wilt require the transfer of something like eirht millions of dol lars from the old deposite banks to the new onet either in the State or out of it. Tiie netcctiori and organization' of new banks to receceive so large a sum, and the collection and removal of so great an amount gradually and safely have, with the like operation in other sections of the country severely taxed mv. attention and labors tor some months, and are still doing it. Besides this first distribution of the deposites, a second one is rendered necessary by tho depo&ite act,, auiung -Uiletwtatraiaju. propor tions. Under this last operation, the proportions are-not required to be ac tually. paid over to the Stafes till next January, and quarterly thereafter dur- ling the year. But the preparation beforehand to ensure their punctual and prompt pay ment, there has been careful and con stant, and coupled, whenever conveni ent, with the first and earlier distribu tion required among the banks, so as to prevent the great inconveniences and pressure in the money market at icnaani on uouuie iransiera, uisi iruiu bank to bank near, and next from State to State at a distance. i nte, uiireiorc, iu cuc wucic uit t .1 I I l-.-J OUOllc money nmrccii mu.i. in any banks in any one State, and new """""""'J vr otner sutes. wnere oniy a uiue puuut money.already existed, made but one (Mn.r.a in rpnmn nh hnth nhiir.t.

If, as is apprehended from your re marks, it is supposed by some that a transfer draft can, any more than a treasury warrant, be made payable on its face in any thing except specie, provided the holder chooses to de mand specie, the error should be cor rected, as the idea is illegal and pre posterous.

The three ori.rinal deposito banks in that city, had, by the list returns, nearly a million of dollar each, moro public money than three fourths of the amount of their respective) char tered capitals. But the excess has, since the depoaite law took effecte being 4 months eje. been seasonably placed under transfer to other banks, some of which are within, and others out of the Slate of Now York, and payable at future periods; giving what was regarded rea sonable time for the operation. From the National Gaxctte. TREASURY ARRANGEMENTS, i We have copied from yesterday' Globe - cerreapondenee. between. Messrs. George Griswold and Benja min L. Swan and the Secretary of the treasury, respecting the treasury war rants on the New York banks. It fur nishes new evidence of that irregular lisposal &. unsystematic series of expe dients to which the fiscal concerns of the countrv have been liable, ever since the removal of the deposites from the Bank of the United States. The pub lic fundi, instead of being, as formerly the basisof sober commercial action, en trusted to the guidance of experienced commercial citizens, the trustees of the government, acting in concert, on a plan matured by intellect and tried by the test of experience, are now in transtifv, or scattered here and there in fragments bearing no relation to the wants of different sections of the coun trv. ; -dispersed - by capricious regula tions and subject to the operations of hasty or ignorant legislation. When Mr. Woodbury lays the blame of his proceedings at the door of Con gress, if is strange that it does not oc cur to hiuv toast .vJiaUnadfertheac tion of Congress in the premises a mat ter of pressing necessity. Was that body to leave the management of the monstrous power which rresideni Jackson had usurped, to his uncon trolled management? Had he shown himself competent to the exercise of such a. power, and, u he had, could he endow a secretary or clerk with his competency while he was rusticating at hts-TennesseTuscuJumc-ILCoU: gresslegislated in the dark, and if. a9 Mr. Secretary Woodbury insinuates, : a change m tneir enactments is to oe looked for, whose was the fault? Where was the necessity moreover that the administration shoald add to the misdoings of the legislature, ('since it so pleases to consider them J another element of confusion and uncertainty by its pragmatic intermedling with the sales ol public lanusr Was it not enough that the distri bution was to be provided for was it that, as the INew York Times complains, the appointment of deposites in the ratio of capital in the pet banks. Keeps (to save the revenue from thepin.ost fool hardy exposure half thespecie of the country on a perpetual tour of duty, as fluctuating as Ihe tides without their regularity? Tbe remote if not the proximate cause of all this was the nresident and his advisers. They invented a new scheme a a . a of finance, and they now complain that they are embarassed in its execution. They seem to forget that the country is a party to the contract, and think it very hard that the people of the Uni ted States are nnwillipg to leave their accumulating treasure at the mercy of Lieut.

K. new source of power and revenue was ake-HMkeewftir Congress was put into leading strings; t he whole scheme ol sales was alter ed by construction. Embarrassment and confusion followed yet, when the nress and the people ventured to com plain, the censure is thrown back upr on 4neiprepreeew" the Secretary's letter plainly sav? Not what it should say Relieve the Government from the responsibility our ignorant tampering has brought upon us, by wise legislation save us from ourselves, and our own want of presciencc!and ability; but "Repeal your distribution bill aud allow us to regulate the situation of the public funds give us not only the keeping of the national treasure, but the e signatiun of the places where it shall be kept permit us to say how every m'kriltf If styit'1swiie'ihl -be currency and what shall be rags let where .wa tuease. and account lor. it when we please, and you need com plain no more of embarrassment or ore'ssure." We ought to rejoice in the Daternal care thatwould thus relieve the states from all trouble about their own incorporations, uimuviuuais ironi all knowleJg of what to-morrow may bring forth.
