Thompson was without any geniui of his own, and has been the mere executioner of the dar ing villainy of Jones ahd.oihejs. Jonesf has made a donation of his Confession to Mrs. Oldham, widow of the late jailer: .According: to this, it seems ne was uu. u in England, of good fa.mily, - and was a merchant in London, where he failed for three hundred and fifty thousand pounds .in.lmn.c!inLv! n cr acoftt fnti nni hunrlretl and ninety-one. Here, he says, he deposited fifty thou sand pounds, -without the knowledge ! his creditors; in the Jiandi of a rich ban ker ; brought his wife and three children (daughters, whom he educated wellj to New York where 'they married respect ably, and still live. At this place his wife died, after which he returned to -London and claimed of his banker the fifty thousand pounds who, after re-a peated applications, persisted in denying all knovriedge of the matter. He pre sentjyjnet hinrat some distance from the metropolis, and stabbed him to the heart, the triood gushed from his bosom, and he dropped out of his carriage a corpse. After this, Jones went to the seaboard, engaged in the naval service, ?cited thes crew to, mutiny, murdered every soul on board who refused to join his party, ex cept Ihe captain Vwife, with whom he lived sir or eight months, and afterwards murdered her. "He-then took the ship and crew toAfiica, took on board ihree hundred slaves, and steered for the West w Indies, twenty-five or thirty of whom f died soon alter leaving the African coast, and being pursued by a British mau of war, to escape detection, they drowned all the others. Jones landed at Charles ton, South Carolina, murdered some man for his' money, was thrown into jail, where he lay thirteen months. He went from thfnce to New Orleans, put up at the best hptel In the city, discovered some . gentleman boarding in the same house who had SlGOO, murdered and robbed . him in one of its passages, and remained unsasDected, in the same place tor seve ' ral days.

TWENTT-F1FTH CONORESS EXTRA SESSION. Mri BrcflAKAir presented some remonstrances against the admission of Texas into the Union from the city and county of Philadelphia; laid on the table. Mri Wsbstir said hei would take the occasion to savt that he had received several remonstrances UtaUU ch.r.cr,Whioh hW j . j : i nnAAi n TirniifHi i until some specific proposition should be offered. Mri WaioaT, from the same committee reported a billimposing additional duties on depositories of the pubUc-money. This is tbe, sub-treasury scheme. Ordered to a second reading. . Mr; WkiBHT from the ame committee, teported a billito revoke the charters of all Banks in the Dis trict Of Colombia, which' may . not resume specie payments, and to sappress the circulation of small notes j witbin the Distript. Ordered to $ second reading. 7 Mri RiTts said it was the desire of' the Senate not to act On any one of the measures until the whole! should be before the Senate. It appeared to him that one of the most important subjects a bill to designate the fund in rhih the revenue should be collected a subject distinctly pointed out by the President, had been negatived. He would therefore movel a postponement in the hope that the chairman would report such a bill to-morrow. - MrL Whisht said that, be had reported all the bills which the committee proposed to report at this session. As to the measure in question he was of opiniou that this subject should lay ovr until next session. Mri Ritis with-a viewjto obtain time to look in to th4 measures, now that it was determined not to bring1! this measure forward, moved that when the Senatje adjourn it adjourn to meet on Monday. Mri VYieBT said it wis not his purpose to press these measures prematurely or hastily. He would state, jthat he was instructed to say that the Commit tee hsd reported all that would be reported, without further instructions from this body. There was an immediate necessity for the action of Congress on two qf the bills just reported, so far as regards the Treasury. He" had been waited on by Senators this morning, urging an immediate action on thetill just reported. He stated this to excuse himself from any apparent discourtesy in pressing the measures, which he left to be disposed of at Ihe pleasure of the Senate. . Mri Rites said the Committee had ari advantage not possessed. by other Senators, and he now mere ly cajled, according to parliamentary practice, for a short time to prepare his mind. He did not come here principally to relieve the Government, but first to relieve the People, and then the Government. He s4w nothing in any one of the measures calcu lated to relieve the people. Ue did not come here to registet the edicts ot the Executive. He wished to see confidence restored, by which the country would be plajed in an erect position. He would himself offer i measure, humble as he was, it no one else did, withja view to restore that confidence. He was prepared to make all personal sacrifices for the good jof the country, and to remain here until some thing was done for the good of the country. A tithe suggestion of Mr. Wsbster, Mr. Rivxs withdrew his motion. TLte bill to postpone the transfer of the 4th instal ment; of the Surplus Revenue was then taken up for Mr. Young, in This bill to postpone the transfer of the 4th instal ment jof the surplus revenue to the States having been read die third time, and the question -being on its passage. " - Ms. PnssToir made some remarks to show that neither was this ihe time when a necessity existed for alienating this trust fund from its lawful object, and if it was, this was not the proper mode. He thought niue millions might be saved by rescinding useless expenditures on fortifications, curtailing and suspending others. The better way would have been to recal the 1st instalment instead of postpon ing the 4th. There is in fact a recal of one of the instalments without the guards and checks imposed by the law. The distribution bill as it originally passed the Senate would have prevented the neces sity for convening Congress. If an illustrious per sonage could have brought his conscience to sanc tion that bill, the Treasurer would have received State; certificates of deposites, which ha could have put into the market, and thus raised the funds ne cessary to relieve the Treasury.. , Mf. Cbittxvscx as&igned his .reasons for oppo sing itlits bill at some length. His views were simi lar to those which had been given by the Senator from Snnth Carolina. 11 r. Preston.

Mr. BROWN and Mr. WALKER made some observations in favor of the biU. Tfee question was then puln the passage of the bill, and dedded as follows: , , ' YEAS- Messrs.

The bill authorizing the issue of Treasury note. was next taken up as in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Wai60T moved to nil up the first blank in the bill with the word ten," thereby making the a- raourrt f notes to be issued ten millions of dollars. Mr. Clat, of Kentucky, was very desirous of ob taining more full information relating to one point, and! that was, that as a bill had now passed the Se nate for arresting the payment of the fourth instal ment to the States, and since the fund intended for the Jose of the States was now to be applied to the use of the Government, if it was intended to em ploy ihe funds in the banks before being redueed in some way or other to a specie basis, wnetner Gov ernment intended by laws passed, r to be passed sucn, tor example, as a oaunrupt law to torce the conversion of the funds now in the banks into metal, and then throw tne sum tnua obtained from the banks into the Treasury, there to lie without being; used 1 His inquiry was not, he thought, use less, since it must be evident that the amount of the blaak nwist depend upon the availability of the funds in the banks. Mr. WaiGHT said it had been ascertained, and so itated in the Secretary's Report, that all the mo ney in the banks subject to draft; on the 28th of August last, amounted :.only to eight million one nupdrea and sixty-sir hoosand dollars. - Out of l&at sum the expenses for the month pf September were to he taken, which would leave the sum re duced to about two millions and a half by the Is fpctnber. But. if the ouUtanding drafts should " iiivasuy, iiuanj pi mem Ming pro- tested, ihttSat case; the ayailabW mouM would affll te-ffia&ilsW and tha-Treasury would hetwfit of means. Thew weitr therefiwe, no ready weana without the assistance of Congress. In all the At lantic feoast, the money 'tomk banks 'had' most nart been withdraw anly aJamall sum sub ject to dft beMgwkh them, say teas than a million, and creditors were not willing tOrreceive drafts up on the Southwestern banksvvhere now almost all the funds in depoaite writhianks were placed. Such being the ease, and such the amount of un available money, the object of issuing Treasury notes was to anticipate the funds in deposite with the banks until Congress should say how. those funds were to be made available. The Committee on FH nanpe had reported a bill giving to those banks in tervals of two, five, and eight months in which to pay the sums due, dividing the balanoe in their hands into three instalmenti. Again, the extension granted already, and proposed still to be granted, on bonds, Would diminish the means of the Trea sury; from all which considerations, the issue of these notes was tendered necessary to meet the cur rent expenses. Mr. Clat, of Kentucky, professed himself great ly obliged hy the valuable information communica ted by the honorable Senator (Mr. Wright,) but he still felt that the- inquiry which he had wished to make was not yet answered. He meant to inquire if the money in the banks was to be used as bank note, or if the banks were to be compelled to pay them in specie, and then if these funds were to be left idle 1 1 " Mr. Wright, hi reply, said they would not be used a bank notes unless the laws stroma autnor ize them so to be used. - Mr. Clat. Then it comes to this: we have pass ed a bill to take funds out of the hands of those who would have been glad to use them, to put them in to the bands of others who refuse to acknowledge snd make use of them. The States woutd have been glad to receive this money in the shape of bank notes, and we have taken it from them. Again : Government refuses to call them funds in that shape, and to Government, we have now made them ever by the bill just passed ! Andes Government, though it receives those funds, and prevents their being paid to the States, will not acknowledge them as funds, there is a deficiency existing, and this defi ciency is to be supplied by issuing Treasury notes, in order that Government may be able to get along. That is to sajr, Government will not receive the pa por of the country, and is about to create a paper of its own which the country is expocted to receive! And thus, all the promises which have been made to us of the flowing of gold and silver all over the coun try, these promises of a better currency, result in the issue of ten millions of faper money! At this stage of the bill, Mr. Calhoun expressed a wuh that a postponement of the bill until to morrow might be allowed, for an examination into some points. Saturday, September 16, 1S37. The Senate took up the bill authorizing the Sec retary of the Treasury to issue Treasury notes, when, Mr. Calhoun said that with regard to one point in the bill the payment of interest on the Treasury notes which the Senator from Massachusetts so much approved, was to his (Mr. C's) mind just as objectionable. Nor was he satisfied with the bill, for he really could not make up his mind as to any one scheme for raising the necessary means, until it should be perfectly understood as to what was to be done in reference to the great point of separat ing the Government from the banks. It appeared to him that all the measures to be passed upon ought to converge to that point, if there was any intention to make it, and this among the rest. As the law now stood, the Secretary of the Treasury would be compelled to receive the notes of all specie-paying banks; and if there should be a resumption of specie payments, all the notes of all the banks woukl be received. If Congress should adjourn wilhoutfcom ing to the conclusion of separating the Government from the banks, the result of passing this and the other measures would be to collect the money in Sub-Treasury bins and bank notes. If it was in tended to restore the connection with the banks, or even if it was not the intention, this bill ought to be different from what it was. In fact, in neither al ternative could he well agree with the provision of the kill. Being in this dilemma, he should feel himself compelled to move an amendment to it, for the sooner a decision was had on that important point the better. To prove whethet it was the de sign of the Senate to make a sepaiation or not, would depend upon the course adopted here. If a separation was to be made now was the acceptable time And, if the opportunity was not now em braced, perhaps -it never would be. Under this impression, it was his wish, (for this was a subject which required some little reflection,) that the fur ther consideration of the bill should be postponed till Monday, by which lime he would be enabled to prepare his proposition. Upon, the great point of separation between the banks and the Government, his opinion had long been made up. He firmly believed that the real alternative was a separation, or a Bank of the United States. He had so declared himself in 1334, He had never seen any reason to change that opinion. On the contrary, the rea lizing of all the anticipations he had then mention ed, had happened. The catastrophe had come up on the Union, and now was the time to act. In his own view of the subject, this subject of separ ation was one of the greatest measures that ever was or ever could be presented to tho country. It was due to the country, due to posterity, that gentlemen on all skies should meet, this crisis open ly, boldly, directly state their plans and come out with their views. He thought there appeared to be backwardness on this subject. Although painful as ine lass: was, ne would iumseit be prepared into the subject on Mo&day, and would then ask some questions i n regard to it. He then moved to postpone the timber consideration of the bill till .Monday. Mr. Wright said that he was not disposed to deny to the honorable Senator any opportunity of pre- senAing his propositions, nor was he at all unwilling to act upon any proposition consistent with the bu siness betore tne Senate. His f Mr. WV opinion, however, was for it was a matter nf deep deliberation in the committee that Dronosition ought not certainly to be connected with this bili. wnatever snouw be determined, whatever shoujd govern the action of Congress on that subject, the Treasury must have the means to go on. With emy disposition to receive the propositions of the honorable Senator, he fen himself bound to hope that the Senate would hot consent to postpone the bill, or to connect k with any other measure. Mr. Calhoun said it was impossible to say how the Treasury .could be relieved until he knew what were the means to be adopted- If the measure were now forced upon bim, he would be compelled to vote against it. He felt a due and proper sensi bility for the Treasury, but at the same time there was something due to the sympathy of the people, when the -country was in so much distress. Mr. C. then asked for the Yeas and Nays. , Mr. Benton said that as one connected as he had been with the depostte bill, he could not agree to vote for any postponement of the bill which might have the effect of connecting any ether proposition with k. - Mr. Calhoun said, that if it were the intention of the Senate, or rather of the Administration, to re tore gradually the connection between the Govern meat and the banks, then, in his opinion, instead of issuing Treasury notes, Congress ought to make a provisional loan. We bad ample means, but not a vailable at once, for they were locked up, and eould not be had. Instead of Issuing Treasury notes, and creating a new debt, and funding these notes, you ought to, make notes payable on the Stole banks, and, as the means come in, pay off these notes. And if it were intended to carry out the views contained in toe message there nerer could b a more J&rout- able time lh1&Virtert&i0$0l who sustam-JmeAmistoii, they mast come out hbldly, fearlessly, and show their hands at oncej thnnoh b had no nrooosed thiatineasure with that Ttewi Mi merely t put the bll in such i shape a Would carry Out JutfrQposUIOn j ana no werew hoped Ire nugnt ne inqjugea in mirwiw quest of postponement until Monday the pressing demands on the Treasury were trifling, compared to this' great and momentous subject. r The question was taken on postponing the fur ther consMeratibn of the bill, and it was decided m affirmative Yeas 28, Nays 18. Monday, September 18, 1837. Mr. Rives gave notice that he should to-morrow, ask leave to bring in a bttl designating the funds to be received by Government inp payment of public dues. Mr. Rives observed, that he bad, on a for mer day, intimated his uitenftoh of proposing a bill of this description himself, in the event that no similar bill should be reported by the Committee on Finance. He viewed the neglect of this highly im portant subject likely to be oft such serious conse quence to the community at large, that he felt him self bound to act on the occasion by bringing in a bill calculated to do justice no the People in this particular. ' m '"' f I8SUE OF TREASURY NOTES. The bill for the issue of Treasury notes having been postponed to (his daj, in order to give Mr. Calhoun an' opportunity of preparing an amend ment, and of offering his sentiments generally upon the subject, was now resumed by the Senate. Mr. Calhoun then rose and addressed the Senate in a speech, occupying between one and two hours. An rmwrlndinff his sueech. Mr. Calhoun submit ted his amendment, which provided that from and' after the fiTst of January next ; three-touruw oi tne money due to the Government' may be paid in notes of specie-pay ihg banks; that from and after the 1st of January, 1839, one-half might be paid in such notes; one-quarter ofiere 1st -.of January, i840; and that from and after the 1st of January, 1841, all aums due the Government for customs, lands, &c' shall be paid only in the legal currency of the United States, or in such notes, bills, &c. as shoujd by law be ordered. - ' Mr. Benton, after expressing his entire concur rence in the amendment of Mr. Calhoun, sent to the Chair two amendments of,, his own, which he said comprised the substance of the bill introduced by him two years ago, " To re?-estabUsh the. consti tutional currency of the country His firf amend ment provides that, after a day to bo specified, all the public dues should be paid in gold and silver only and in Treasury notes and land serip, as might by law be authorized ; and the second provides that after the resumption of specie payments by the banks, the Treasury should begin with specie payments. These amendments, togethet with Mr. Calhoun's, were ordered to be printed. The bill was then ordered to be engrossed and read a third time by the following vote : YEAS Messrs. Allen, Bay afd, Benton, Black, Brown. Buchanan, Calhoun, Clay, of Ala., Clay ton, Fulton, Grundy, Hubbard, Kent, King, of Ala., King, of Geo., .

Clay, of Ky., Crittenden, Pres ton, Southard, Spcnce 5. - Tuesday, September 19. The following bills were read a third time and A bill to authorise the issuing of Treasury notes. A bill to extend the time for the payment of Rev enue Bonds. A bill to adjust the remaining claims on the De posite Banks. Mr. Rives, pursuant to notice, rose to ask leave to introduce a bill to designate the character of the (unds receivable for public revenue. This is a measure which had been recommended by the Executive, but was omitted in the report of the Com mittee on Finance. In reference to an ex clusive currency , of old and silver he de nounced it as mischievous and. fallacious, and calculated to postpone the resumption of specie payment. The Senators from Soutn Carolina fMr. Calhoun) and Mis souri (Mr. Benton) had yesterday submit ted propositions which contemplated an en tire revolution in the policy of the country The Treasury order of the late Executive might have been wise at the time it was is sued, but the continuance of it was repu diated by the vhole country. He took a view of the paralized condition of our com merce, and the degraded state of the cur rency, which he compared to a human body in a state of suspended animation, the vital spark being still there, and requiring only the particular remedy to recall it into ac tpn. The ;t eat object of all should be to restore confidence. He referred to instan ces in England, and even in New York, where a single act of tho Government was sufficient to restore confidence, even be fore it was carried into practical operation He adverted to the message of the Presi dent where. it drew a parallel between the distress of this country and . that of Great Britain, there was a striking; ditterence Detweeu ine sllua"n "ie one country anU lne other, in England, the distress had not led to the suspension of specie pay ments, white here it led to that suspension. 1 here was this diHarence, It was because the conduct of the British Government in vited confidence while that of ur Govern ment repelled confidence The bill vvVtch he oftered looked to the resumption of spe cie payments. He laid it down as demon strable that if the measures which had been passed were carried through, there could be no resumption of specie payments. So long as gold .and silver are at a premium, the Bank would not resume specie pay? roents. Such must be the result of the measures proposed by the Senator from S. Carolina. The proposition of the Senator from Missouri imposed ajpositive penalty for the resumption of specie payments.' He ( expatiated at length on the tendency of the i- i i . i . course wntcn ine government is pursuing, not merely to separate the Government from the banks, but to divorce the people from the government. He declared it to be his determination to stand by the peo ple, and not to see one description of cur rency for the government, and another and that of a spurious kind for the people. He repudiated the idea of the President that the government has nothing to do with the currency of the country, &c Whenever gentlemen could show hinj one republican authority for a SAib-treasury scheme, be would show hundreds of re publican authorities in favor of State banks; and made some quotations from Jefferson to sustain him.

(A laugh.) SUB-TREASURIES. Mr, CiXBflinso reported a bill imposing addi tional duties, on dejtositories in certain cases,' upon public officers, and for other purposes! This is the Sub-Treasury Bill. The Mint and its branches and the Post Offices and Land Offices are made the places of deposite, and their officers are authorized to pre pare fire proofs, dec for the purpose. Most of the provisions relate to guards and checks upon the of ficers. The bill was twice read and committed. Mr. CxicBaxtExo, frtpi the same Committee, re ported a bill for adjusting the remaining claims, up on the late deposite banks. Read twice and commit ted. Mr. C, slated that he had but two more bills to report, and they would be reportedon Monday, wheln he would call the attention of the House to these subjects. - .Mr, Garland of Va- gave notice that he would submit a counter project, next week and he asked ihe gentleman to move to make the bills the order of the day for a certain day.

No other subjeet was acted upon. Saturday , September 16, The House of Representatives did not sit today Monday September 18. After the presentation Qf petitions, most of which were anti-Texan, Mr. Cambreleng, from the Committee on Finance, reported without amendment, the Senate bill for ad justing the elaims of the U. States, upon the late deposite banks; also a bill for the deposite of mer chandise in the public stores; also a bill "to revok the charters of the District Banks, in certain cases also, upon leave, a bill appropriating 300,000 dol lars for the suppression of Indian hostilities in Fl rida all which were twice read and committed. After the adoption of various resolutions calling for information, f Mr. J ames Garland offered a project as a sub stitute for that reported from the Committee on Fi nance, which was ordered to be printed for the in formation of the House. This bill proposes the re ception in payment .of public dues; of the notes of specie paying banks, and the employment of such banks as depositories of tho Government, under certain restrictions. The House took up the Senate bill for the post ponement of the 4lh instalment directed by the 13th section of the deposite act to be made with the States. Mr. Dawson, of GaM moved its postpone ment for the present until further information could bo procured. ' Mr.' Cambreleng earnestly opposed the postpone ment, ami went into a statement of the condition of the Treasury, as it will be on the first of October, to show that the whole amount of available andj unavailable funds in the Treasury, at that time, will be less than two millions. Under these circum stances, the government could not make a deposite of nine millions with the States.
