But ? would there Tew no buts ? the secret policy, and the contingent 'unda for its support, by which Britain endeavors to con rol the industry of every land, and coerce all interests n subservient action for her benefit, is of doubtful pro priety in a great nation, aud 1 wish it could be blotted forever from her history. % The aloop of war Vestal arrived on the 28th from Ja. aaica, Mr. Ihompaon in command, and as it looks like he forcible application of the late treaty to the taste and approbation of Cuba, in connection with the declaration .hat an English and French fleet were to fill our waters, he receptum, in the feelings of the people, has been with ut disguised disgust. The officers of this ship ire well known in this community, and yet, as I observed .hem on the general promenade, the evening of their ar ival, there a ere no Spauiards or Creoles willing to recog Ignite them, beyond the hired agents of their shlp ihandlary And yet they were watched with keen In uisition, that meant mors than words could utter. We have ax yet no official notice or publication of the treaty, and its provisions are but imperfectly compre hended yet of the b*-iH enough is known to determiu* pubhe opinion against it, and there are found none in its avor save a few of the speculative class that come to teed 3n Cuba for a given term of years, with purpose of return to injoy their ii^otten gains in the heine land. And they reply:? "Of what consequence to us? In ten years, or leea, we will have all we want; and who cares what be 3omes of (he white people of Cuoai"' And there is but sne prayer now oilering here ? not to be found in the State prayer-book of England ? that the Almighty, in bia infinite mercy, will fin* sufficient occupation tor the forces, naval military anu civil, oi H. B. M. in the East, as the only hope they have or tha security of their homes, the safety of tleir families, and the future pi-oa >erity and well-being of the u>land of Caba. The bmto lip of the Daily Aetos, London, 1 herewith enclose, as a kpeciaieu o! our great consistency, is yielding national Iftionor to British dictation, and lighting with much gra vity over a :?* tlings at national corruption, which we |iave oarseives proved, and approved, in our pockets. Yesterday, on 'Change. it was rumored that Ueneral IJPiruela had certainly declined the post of Captain Gene al of Cuba, aud other names were mentioned a . probably p pointed At the first going oil' these gentlemen ima ne that there is an end to the official bonus, under tha twiystrm: but if they will consult with a gentleman ere, who is veil known to fame in his private family halations an welt as in hi* public distributive agency, Uthey would learn that thrao ounces per head for one hun kred negroes makes not so much money as one ouujb per head tor two thousand ? a ditl'erenoe to be derived frem MlidiDg apprentices for thirty seven years instead of ten, braking the proportion of the past to the present pecu iary ten.putions as $5,100 is to $34,000. These things will be to > rap-.Jly verified by the facts, id England will bnd a multitude of new officers and h gents necessary to carry out and enforoe her plans, and |then, hirselt defeated in the ? fleeted purpose, but pos bly not in the ulterior and more important object, in tne Batiuouou o. the agticul' ural interests of Cuot, organl ition ot a a<tf race ?ruf a new society, ua ler her own losquetue ' influences, and thus waiving the black om towards the United Stale*, where lies bu ied the cret object or her bate. 1 believe General Pizuela (tier advised, and although he may not appear to covet Kbe positioj, he will be very careful not to decline it. pBucli thing* come not but onoe in a lifetime, and the ''golden fleece is here which ha knows how to appreciate. The nine Americana are all in the look np ot Usneral |Tacon, where they may wail a long time for the protec tion of their country ; but three, the first, were to be dis posed ol ye-'et Jay, for tome fi ur years of prison service to Spaiu. a ud the other six will not be compelled to en dure more than tlx or eight months before their cases will be determined by Spanith juatioe, for the same Sriod. 1 have beard some of your Northern folks say at if Matoy had on the right minded breeches they Wtuld not lernain here six weeks; but as I do not know what political effect his pantaloons might have, ihe point Is beyond my acumen. But if the man can be aaved, for heaven's sake get somebody to adv.se a change in the nethers, even if government should pay the cost. It would be a saving in the end. I hear mush said of the rascals of war of tha L'nlted btat?s not being litre, but I prelum* they are much better employed down east; at least what they bate done we kuow not, but we have seen accounta of J feasant social relations, feasting and dancing, which are appy aids of modern diplomacy, ant they are convenient a out of the driiish path in thoi e waters while elsewhere ay might be otlensive. By the way, have not your folks xoni" $21,000,000 surplus!' Have you no contingent for secret service money? About two and a half millions ?f dollars for exchange' purpo-.es might b? very happily placed just now, and all civilization woald say amen. Think not that I am going to ad vocate wrong doing? that 1 reprobate nearer home; but it is a good rule so* etimes to ase the weapons of your enemy in self-defence; and as the practice is established, I do not see that yoa ha?e any alternative, the morals to the contrary notwithstanding. Cuba hm paid to widow i, orphans, anil relatives of Vaunded and deceased soldie.-s. in the last invasion, in cluding tha militia drawn from the peasantry of the coun try, the anui of $284,823 28, and the business of th-i pa triotic commission for the as-essment and distribution kave closed their labors by report, on the 17th inst., with ? full statement, which has been approved and published for general information, as you will find in paps -s by this steamer; and I am informed that tha name patriotism Would like to invest ten times the amount, if another pie je Of more enlarged folly could be wrought thereby. But of this I have no faith.' There Is a time for all things but freedom for Caba, which, perhaps, sbe does not deserve. But if a woman's rights conventien had location here, there might be some lense in thair unsexing, for, if the women were men, as the men are women, me slippers and dis taffs would have settled the question long ago. The vessel captured some weeks since, a Portuguese Mast trader, with 100 Africans, bound for Cuban freedom, waa taken to Jamaica for adjudication, as the prize money Waa rather more certain there than under tbe British mixed commission at Havana, and more prompt in ren dition. I have been to tbe Cathedral to day, ander orders, to pray for the happy deliverance of her majesty ? not of the paople, not o! our royalty from the footstool of Queen Vic toria? but of the interesticg burthen of a nation's inte rests. and of national love. Te Ileum was obanted la con ?prmity with the instructions, the crowd was vast as tha Snrcn eapacity, and the square ia front was densely ed with military detachments and the people.

EUPANNEI.MKNT OF THE GRAND Jl'RY FOR THE OCTO BER TERM? JCIKiE BKSBK's CHARKE. Nov. 7. ? The court opened this morning, at 10 o'click, aud ptoceoded, an usual on the first day of the term, to em pannel the Grand Jury for tne October term ; and that body of mrn, having been sworn or affirmed, Judge Beebe charged them as follows: ? Gentlemen of the Grand Jury ? It is not my habit to elaborate much in my charges to the gentlemen who compos* the grand inquest for the city and county of New York. However, ?s 1 am called upon by the law to ad dieps you, I Khali, briefly as possible, call your attention to your general duties, and then leave you to their dis charge. Those duties are uace.sarily arduous. From the hire of our city and the lifting character of our population, there is neceauarily a large amount of crime coirmiUed within our nillat, and there are many things de manding the action of tin Grand Jury. We are. there fore, under the necessity, a* all times, of having an active Grand Jury, if we wish a prompt discharge of business. The law replies, bifore a man accused of felony or any of the lir^e class -of misdemeanor* can be tried at all, that the *rand Jury shall pa's upon his case to that ellect. Consequently , before this Court can act in the despatch of business, accused parlies must pass through your hands. I shall endeavor, aud I do njw emVavi v. to impress upon you the necessity of great ac tivity in 'he discharge of your duties, so ttiat the Court may no oe waiting tor business I have, during the time uiive . en on the bench, learned this important fact ? ???, ? ; omptness in punishment is one of the great pre ventive* of crime. We should have much less in our ciidst if a crime committed to day could be punished be fore the sun went doom, to that parties may not be led to believe that if they can only get bail they will never be tried I remember when 1 was at the bar that the tailing of a pri?oner was considered as equivalent to an escane ; the pvrty was not likely to be puci'bed for his crime It U absolutely necessary for the due administration of justice thnt criminals shall be promptly punished If you, gentlemen, will sesoniour efforts, 1 will guarantee on the part of the Coiut and i s (?dicers that there shall be no lack of promptness in the infliction of the punishment authorized by laV. There is neset-aarily devolved upon you at this term a large amount of business. I think there aie some two hundred or three hundred bail ca>es for a.s<aulta and batteries, besides numerous misdemeanors. Ttiore are some ninety prison cases where the parties are now in prison, besides tluse remaining over from the last terra? i>ome tkir.een or fourteen. I should be happy, in order to a prompt despatch of business, to keep this court open till eight or nine o'clock in the even ing. I am willing to ait here all that time in trying cases. It has not been my custom to direct your atten tion to the law governing each case, because of the usu ally lsrge amount of business. It would involve a great lots of time, and, in faut, would embarrass more than artist you You have a faithful law officer upon whem you ran call fcr advice and assistance, if you have any doubt aa to the law governing a particular ca?e, when eliciting the facts in regard to it. It is better that instruc tions aa to the law should come from the District Attorney than tiie Court ; but there are point* in regard to whieli the law requires the Court to charge the Graud Jury. The tirat to whioh I shall advert is oae likely to interest ua at this particular time and that is the subject of electiona. We all desire, aa citizens of a gieat republic, the purity of the elective franchise. The legislature has, so far as it could, aurrounded>hla right to vote with all of theiafeguard* tha: the wisdom of man ctcld deviae. Kiery violation of it should be punished severely; and should any auch case come under your ob seivation, it will be your duty to give it the attention its importance demands. The next point ia that of usury; that i ?, the taking or withholding of more than seven per cent for the use of one hundred dollars :or a year. Hy oar law the taking of more than the per centage I have stated, f - made a forfeiture of tl e whole amount loaned or a<i vanced. Our Legislature has gone farther, and have said that if any party takes, or receive*, or withholds a greater amount than seven dollvra for the use of one hun dred dollars for one year, he i> guilty of a misdemeanor, rendering him liable to fine and imprisonment. We know that the present is a time of considerable monetary de pression. In market, money is bringisg large price* for its use. I am not liere to express an opln ion as to whether the law of saury la politic or otherwise. In all past time government* have had usury laws for what is termed the protection of society against the grasping of money lent ers or usurer*. Ia thi* State, I repeat, such laws exist; and if any auoh case* come before y ni. for your action, it will be your doty to give them such attention a* the laws demand. There ia aaother matter to which I must allude, and that ia, the subject of lotteriea. By a statute passed many year* ago, in thi* State, lotterie* were made illegal, and subjected the parties engaged in them to imprison ment and the forfeiture of their property. 1 have no doubt. notwithstanding the existence of thoae law*, that violations, nnd dally violations, take place in a great city like this, and wherever I can do so, with the actton of the Grand Jury, I shall punish the pnrtie* engaged in them so that they will feel it. If you And a bill against a party for felony, and the party is not In anrest, it is your duty to keep that fact a secret, so that the end* of juatice may not be defeated by ita exposure. I have trade it a point to charge Grand Juries to keep everything secret. The proceedings of a Grand Jury, so long a* that institution exiite in thi* country, ahould be kept tecret. If they be kept secret It will be the means of bringing to the Grand Jury grievance* which would not otherwise have com* be ere them. It is im portant that you should keep your own counsel*, and those of your fellows. You are aware that sixteen mem bers are required to constitute a quorum: twelve are re quned to find, a* well as to dismiss, a bill. It ha* hap pened that where twelve could net be found in favor of a bill the case baa been dlamissed; but such wae not the right coarse of proceeding. If twelve cannot be found to vote for dismissing the bill, all that can be done Is to lay it over. 1 have not, I repeat, in conclusion, intended to direct your attention to all of your multifarioua power*. We ask that eou will heartily second the court in despatching the baalMm that may come before it. With. these remark*, you may retire to yonr room. The excuae* from the petit juror* being heard, they were discharged until Wedneiday morning, and the court, after sitting a few moment* longer, adjourned until to morrow, the law fort>idding th* court to sit on election day. ?

Patchin; the Patoh in Bank, of Buffalo, anl the New York City, Hornellsvllle and Buffalo Railroad Company, have failed, ana tbe ameuat of liabilities involved is very larje. The effeet of these suspensions throughout the Western part of this State, must be most disastrous. Railroads throughout the West, have been rerieus sufferers by the present stringency in the money market, and many of those partially com pleted, will be compelled to discharge their laborers, and wait for a more propitious period for finishing the works. In the meantime, they will be decaying, and the capital expended remain unproductive. Contractors will b? obliged to withdraw all their sub-oontraots, and a ruineus state of things throughout prevail. Ths hlstofy of the Erie Railroad Company shows vsry clearly ths effeot and rssult of rash suspensions on publio works, and In any case, it oaanot bat be highly detrimental to every interest concerned.

This is much batter than anticipated. Tke contraction in dis counts still continues. Some uneas.ncRS exist) in the public mind at this pe riod in regard to the circulation of our banks, and espe cially the banks in this city. By the returns of the banks lor the weekending Saturday, Not. 5, it appeared that there were in circulation on that day the sum of nine millions four hundred and ninety-two thousand one hun dred and fiftj eight dollars. The public art under the impression that all this circulation is secured by the re quisite deposit of Fecurities with the Bank Department at Albany, but such in not the fact, as we will show. The chatters of the following banks in tbis city expired at the respective times stated viz Circulation. City Bark, July 1, 1852 $120,500 lim k of America. January 1, 1853 167,437 Fank of New Y< rk, " 310,720 Butchers' and Droveri' Bank " 220,774 Unicn Bank, January 1, 1853 331,017 Tottl $1,166,048 All of these backs, from the time above sfeted, have be?n doing business under ao organization in pur^uaac* of the provisions of what is called the general banking law, and tbe transition from tbe old system to the new was very summary, which, on paper, amounted to paying their stockhelders the valne of the stock In the company, tbe charter of which had expired at twelve o'clock at night, and such stockholders before ten o'olock the next morning had re invested their money in tke stook of the new bank. This trancaetion would seem to require that the debts of the bank should be paid, which of course included the circulating notes; but this was not pre tended to have been done, but a sham formality, some thing in this wise, was perpetrated A certaiu sum ef mocey was set apart and placed to the credit of some officer or directer of the bank, who waa dfgni9?d with the title of trustee, in an amount equal to the circula tion of the particular bank. That fund waa left in the new bank, to be "banked" upon as any other funds o' the back waa used, and in cas? of disaster it would be lost, as other funds wonld be, and the bill holder would be remediless, for that ia bis only security. These noted, wholly unsecured are received and paid out by the bank* with the same freedom as though there was a le^al right t? do eo. They are not the notes of the new baak, and the new bank ia not responsible. In case or disaster to the new bank, its stockholder* will not con sent that the fund* of the bank should be applied to the payment of any debta it waa not legally liable for. Tbe Superintendent of tke Bank Department called the attention of tke I *g stature to this matter, in his annual report ot December, 1862. He *ays ? Kront past experience, it Is presumed that the outstand irg circulation of tboee bank* the charter* of whioh will expire on the let of January, will not be materially de creased. The bank* above referred to have already orga nized, or are about to organize, aa association*, under the provision* of chapter 318, law* of 1849; and all claim the right, under their new organization, to issue and cir culate the note* of the bank of the same name, the char ter of which has expired, and when in eon* in stances the capital stock, or some portion of it, it is be lieved. has been divided and paid to the stockholders. Tb* amount of tbis class of circulating antes la now latge, being the sum of $1,672,777, and on the 1st Janu uary next will be increased $4,021,466, making in the ag grrgate tie ium of $6 097, 133. Tlie banks being too strong for the I^gialature, no law, we believe, was passed upon the subjsot; but the remedy is in the hands of tlie people, and we trust it will be ap plitd. The only way to regulate sneh a gross evasion of the law la to call on the banks for liquidation of all unse cured premise* to pay, and if refused, Hie a bill in equity a|ainst the person* who aiw called trustee* to apply the fundi nominally under their control for that purpose.
