In the preface Miss Sewell declares that the Volume is the result, theory, but of experience, and the subject is treated in its moral rather than economical aspects. Accordingly, she views ed¬ ucation, not as a' mere training for a useful life in the world, but with reference to its harmony with the teaching of God in Nature and in Revelation. It is defined to be “ the guiding, or leading of the young mind in the way which will best enable it to obey the not of commandments of God.” systematic principle ” of education, however good, cannot possibly be good for all. The mode of dealing in every case must be a subject of separate study. The object is the carrying out o God’s will for the individual, the purpose of which is hidden from us in His eternal counsels ; but the direction in which we are to work is pointed out to us by the peculiar endowments of character The “ and intellect with which every person is gifted. The author treats in detail of the necessity of A large proportion, however, was of inferior quality; consequently, the weight of meat im¬ ported was not sufficient to ha^e any permanent influence in reducing prices—the total import being quite inadequate to feed London, with a population of about three millions, for more than six months.

My letter of the 24th ult., in answer to yours of the same date, was so altered before it was published as not to indicate to whom it was addressed, and had no other object, and I think had no other effect, than to* simply express my objection to yonr loan bill. I did not see any impropriety in my giving publicity to my dissent from your views of public financial policy. In accepting the office I hold, I did not surrender my independence of judg¬ ment, nor my freedom of action. I have made no concealment from you, or any one else, of my views in regard to the hill from the time it was first pro¬ posed by you. After the lapse of twelve days, you notice my letter to yon of the 24th of February, and quote my statement therein, that I suppose there must he, at that time, deposits in the National Banks, at least $150,000,000 in the Treasury of the United States. To this you now reply that the actual amount of money, on the 24th, in the Treasurv and in national depositories to the credit of the government, exclusive of special gold deposits, was $111,149,682 29. I cannot see any valid reason for yonr making a distinction between gold deposits and deposits made in currency. Both alike are stated in your monthly reports as liabilities and assets, and you have the right by law to use a portion of the including 328 THE CHRONICLE. gold, as you can use a currency must be prepared, by having a reserve on hand, to respond tors. In this view of the case there is no reason safely but portion of the deposits, because you to the calls of deposi¬ why you should not add your gold deposits to the $111,149,632 29. The special gold deposits, as appears by your statement of the first day of this month, was $12,627,600. This, added to the amount that you state was in the Treasury, &c., Feb. 24th, will make $123,777,632 29. Giving you the benefit, as T have, of gold deposits swelling the ag¬ gregate of money on hand, I now unhesitatingly state that your statement just made to me, as well as your published statement showing the condition of the Treasury and the public debt on the first of this month, is inexcusably errone¬ ous. 5 You state the amount of coin in the $60,282,767 12; total, $116,018,959 24. Treasury to be $55,736,162 12; Your currency, no appropriation proved the bill declaratory of the meaning of certain parts of the interna 1 act of June 30, 1864. By this, the 120th section applies the duty of five per centum to all dividends in scrip or money, wherever payable, and all stockholders, policyholders, depositors or parties whom¬ soever, including non-residents, whether citizens or aliens. The 122d section, as amended, declares stockholders in any railroad, canal, navi¬ gation, turnpike, or slack water company, to mean all persons or parties whatever that are or may be stockholders, including non-residents, revenue whether citizens or aliens ; and the words “ail such interest, dividends or profits, whenever the same shall be of this month, shows That you have retiredmonthfvistatement, made the first $6,466,8o() of compound interest and United States Legal Tender Notes. This amount must have been paid be¬ fore the date of my letter, and as there is no law authorizing you to retire any of the compound interest notes in any other way than by converting them into 6-20 bondB, and no law authorizing the retirement of any of the United States legal tender notes in any other way than by converting them into compound interest notes, and [March 17, 1866. or coupon payable.” are declared to apply to all such interest or coupon dividends or profits whenever the same are or may be payable ; aud to whatsoever party or persons the same are or may be payable, including non-residents, whether citizens aliens. or provision made by Congress other than mentioned, I cannot understand why these compound interest notes or Whenever the rates and afnounts contained in the lists and coined money, it is made the duty of the returns shall be stated in that now and United States notes should not be counted and included as currency on hand. You have just as much right to reissue them as to pay out any other notes, government and no right or authority to cancel them. It also appears bykyour last monthly statement that you have sold, during the month, without any authority of law* $10,672.TOO of 5-20 bonds, and purchased assessor receiving the same to reduce such rates and amounts to their equivalent iu legal tender currency according to the value of the coined money in the currency at the time when and place where the lists or returns are receivable, and which value the assessor shall determine. The former part of this new law is to reach a large class of persons who have heretofore been exempt from the tax, and the latter to meet cases where persons have made their returns according to a specie instead of a paper basis. f11,956,000 of 7-30 notes, making your purchase $1,283,300 more than your sale. will remark, in passing, that while you have the right to convert 7-30 notes into 5-20 bonds as the former mature,'you have no right whatever to buy or sell them. You have omitted entirely from your statement of the first of March, as yon have uniformly omitted from your monthly statements for several months past, the amount ol money on deposit in the National Banks.

An accurate statement of the condition is not merely a matter of interest to the public, it is of grand consequence that Con¬ gress should be correctly informed as to the actual resources of the government, that it may legislate intelligently and appropriate wisely. I will call your atten¬ tion to another matter in your annual report. You state that you will probably require $112,000,000 more than your current receipts to carry you through the remainder of the present fiscal year. I regret to differ with you so widely as I do in regard to this estimate. I am of the opinion that with an economical ad¬ ministration of your resources, you will have a surplus on hand at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30. 1866, of nearly, or fully $200,000,000. instead of being short $112,000,000, the difference between my estimate and yours, und more than enough for the legitimatc'rcquirements of the government for the entire next fiscal year commencing the 1st day of July next. It is only lrom a sense of duty I have gone into this discussion to which you invited me; and as there are various aud contradictory statements in regard to the difference between us of views and estimates, I feel that no harm will be done, and indeed that it is proper to make public this letter. cor¬ Freeman Clark. from the to the above letter we have the following which we take proceedings of the House of Representatives on Thursday: answer Mr. Hulburd addressed the House. He referred, on the opening of his re¬ marks, to a letter from the Comptroller of the Currency to the Secretary of the Treasury, dated March 10, showing serious errors in the report of the Secretary as to the money on hand on the 1st of March. The to al amount returned by the Secretary was $106,018,959. The amount which the Comptroller claims as being in the custody of the Secretary on the 1st of March was $166,768,944, mak¬ ing a discrepancy between the two statements of over fifty millions. Mr. Hulburd deeired to have from the Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency an explanation of this discrepancy. Mr. Hooper (Mass.,) in the absence of the Chairman of the Committee, rose and gave tne explanation asked. The Secretary of the Treasury had represented the amount of coin in the Treasury, on the 1st of March, as $5$,000,000, and of currency, $60,000,000, making a total of $115,000,000. The letter to which the gentleman from Now York referred stated that that was inexcusably erroneous, and that the Secretary had omitted to include the amouut. deposited in national banks, and other items, amounting together to more t han $50,000,000. The Com¬ mittee of Ways and Means having seen that letter, had appointed a sub-com¬ mittee to ascertain whether there was any foundation for the statement; that the sub-committee had learned that the amount of money iu tbeNational Banks had been included in the Secretary's calculation, and had made a part, of the $115,000,000 reported bv the Secretary. Therefore, the Comptroller in adding that sum of $28.000.000*in the National Banks wns mistaken, as that sum had already been included. The Comptroller had further stated that there was an amount of United States notes that had been retired, but which the Secretary should not have retired, but the fact was that they were retired. He would not now go into the question whether the Secretary lmd theauihority to retire them. It had been done and, therefore, that amount was not in the Treasury. The Comptroller had then added a sum of $1,300,000 for the difference between the amount of Seven-thirties purchashed and of Five-twenty bonds sold, saying that that money should be in the Treasury, also because the Secretary had no au¬ thority to make that disposition of the bonds, but the fact was that that dispo¬ sition had been made, and therefore that amount was not in the Treasury. The .Comptroller had then added $15,000,000 for the value of gold beyond currency; that is, if the Secretary undertook to sell his gold he would get for premiums on it $15,000,000. The fact was that the coin had not been sold, and therefore the amount of premium could not be iu the Treasury; there was therefore no reason that the monthly statement of the Secretary was not entirely accu¬ result of the investigation made by the sub-committee was that $115,000,000 was the correct amount, in the Treasury on the first of March. to suppose rate.

The Gold Market.—On Monday gold took an upward bound to 132, partially as 1die result of large transactions, supposed to be intended to sfecngthen the stock market, and partially from purchases to covfer the sales of “ short ” oper¬ ators who had failed upon their contracts. The price, how¬ ever, subsequently declined 1£, and has since fluctuated be¬ tween 129-J- and 130£, with considerable speculative act¬ ivity. The prevailing tone of the market favors an upward move¬ ment, it being supposed that before the May Five-twenty coupons fall due there will be a scarcity of gold; for it is understood to be the policy of the Treasury not to sell gold at the present low premium. i eluded in the 6’s 6.... 13 20.... 27..:. 3 Sub-Treasury , 3.386.934 2,297,S35 6,044,893 21,717,241 14,527.352 20.414,139 25,071.308 20,934,822 Changes in , 15,592,793 99,358;518 12,194,496 22,98S,451 29,170,183 15,658,306 12.773,418 89,835,873 98,296,973 59,478,610 Balances, dec $8,006,883 me 7,496,327 inc inc inc dec inc 8,695,784 6.629,548 9,547.908 9,522,645 inc 8,756,043 dec dec 9,413,001 8,161,404 8,461,099 Foreign Exchange.-—The rates tor foreign bills-have de¬ clined steadily during the week, and transactions have been limited. the The increased shipments of cotton have augmented London and Paris, and the rates have supply of bills on again weak and unsettled for that class of bills. become New York sterling produce bills are very scarce, and bring 10<5|@107L • The following are the closing quotations for the several classes of foreign bills, compared with those of the three last weeks , : Feb. 23, 107 @108 London Comm’l.-. do bkr^ long do do shwt 10S#@108# 109# @ 522#@518# 517#@51n# 5*26#@520 520 ©518# 35#© 36# 40#© 40# 40 #@ 40# 78#@ 79 71 © 71# Paris, long do short Antwerp Swiss Hamburg Amsterdam Frankfort Bremen Berlin March 2. 107 @108 March 9. 197 @107# 108#@108# 10S#©108# 109# @110 522#© 518# 517#@515 109#@110 523#@520 518#@516# 525 @520 520 @5 IS# 36 © 36# 40 #@ 40# 40#@ 40# 7S#@ 78# 71 #@ 71# 523#@521# 521 #@520 36 @ 36# 40#@ 40#@ 78© 71#@ 40# 40# 73# 71# Mar. 16. 106#©107# 108 @108# 109# 525 .@523# 520 @518# 525 @521# 522#@521# 35#© 36# 40#@ 40# 40#@ 40# 78 @78# 70#© 71# New York City Banks.—The the condition of the Associated following statement shows Banks of the City of New York, for the week ending with the ness on March 10, 1866 $6,488,016 5,104,805 6,181,471 5,426,053 4,414,714 8,523,373 3,401,287 3,496,844 America Phenix City Tradesmen’s Fulton.....

Dry Goods market is without material change from the condition indicated last week. The decline in prices has not been so marked as The past two weeks, but nevertheless still continues, with no imme¬ prospect of stability. The large number of buyers, so often re¬ ferred to, seem to have become alarmed at the general depression in all branches of business, and have gone home, either buying but a few for the diate by default, advances and those only at the moment needed, and or not at all. The expected Spring trade is going and still greater cautiousness is manifested as the season pieces But few goods are bought, Apropos, it is said that the express compa niea were never before doing such a business as at present in smal forwarded by express. parcels of goods of all descriptions.
