honours , and with the calmness of a hero , a p hilosopher , and a Christian , at his farm at Hermitage , baring not lived quite long enough to be assured from the lips of his friend , General Houston , that his plan for the prompt ' annexation of Texas' was now sureof success . " Asdrkw Jackson was born on the 15 th March , in the year 1767 , at Waxsaw , in South Carolina , and was consequently seventy-eight years of age at the time of his decease . He was the son of poor Irish tarents , who , tired of the misery of their wretched country , luckily for mankind , and , no doubt ,
conducted by an all-seeing Providence , left it two years before the birth of their son Akduew , and settled in Carolina on a small farm . Their son early showed " what spirit he was of . " He , at the outset of life , studied and practised the law ; but events soon led him to prove to the world that in the lawyer were hidden the commander and the statesman , and that his knowledge of law would only enable him more effectually to serve his country in the latter capacity . When tho Revolutionary war of 1775 broke out , Jackson- was a boy . His eldest brother , Hugh , however , took the side of his country , and lost his
life in the earlier period of the contest . Nothing daunted at this , Asdrkw Jacksos , at the early age of fourteen , in company with his brother Robert , joined the army u « dcr Washington ; and , after distinguishing themselves , were taken prisoners by the British , when the future General and I ' resident nearly lost his life by the cut of a sabre from an English ruffian , given in cold blood after his being made prisoner . On the end of tho war in 1783 , A . VDBP . W , now the sole survivor of the three brothers , studied law , and , after a few years' practice , settled himself with his wife ( for
henowmarried ) on an estate on Cumberland River , near Nashville , where he lived for a few years in the quiet and happy seclusion of an American farmer , until elected one of the representatives of Congress for Tenesse . In 1813 , England , Hushed with the coming triumph over Boxafaiite , resolved , if possible , to break up the American union ; and at last provoked that war with the States which proved so disastrous both by sea and land . This event again called forth the soldier-like qualities of Jacksox . lie had been accustomed , as a Colonel of Militia , to warfare with the savage tribes on the Mississippi ; and these tribes were now excited to attack the States as a diversion
in favour of the English troops which were to operate further north . Jacksox , now a General of the United States , was ordered to defend the States that a e connected with . the great river Mississippi from the fury of these savages , whose cruclti « s were terrible . In this duty , after a most arduous forest campaign , he completely succeeded : and he had entirely dispersed the Indian tribes , when he was suddenly called on to defend the city of New Orleans , which was menaced by a fleet and an army of from nine to ten thousand picked British troops , under Generals Sir Edward Fakexiiam , Giuus , Iveanb , and Lambert . The events of that defence , and ct'Tiie memorable battle ionaU ? iuc iuK 5 uaiwe
r . . I-,,,, * ,.., on , , ^ i .. . uur . ia ™» l cii January 8 th , 1815 , befnn e New Orleans , are known to all the world . The English were driven to their ships , leaving dead upon the field Pakexiiam and Ginns , with near three thousand of the bravest of their troops ! This great victory concluded the war , and Jacksox retired to his farm at Nashville , without expecting from his country those rewards for his performance of a mere duty , which the mercenary " heroes" of otfiercountriesdeemit no shame to wring from the very bones of their starving countrymen .
" This great man was now to enter upon a new career . He was now a senator of the United States . The vile English landed and nionied aristocrats , baffled in their attempts to enslave America by A-ar , were now endeavouring to do it by the agency of papermoney . They had corrupted and bought the leaders ofthatvillanous faction that in America are called 'Whigs . ' They had bribed Clat , the speech-maker ; Quixcy Adams , the senator ; Webster , the flimsy lawyer ; and Crawford , a politician by trade . They had ; through the agency of these men , got Congress to allow a huge bank to be set up , called ' Tho United-States-Uank ; ' a thing created solely by the purses , and for tlio treacherous purposes of tho English Jew 3 ; and by the briberies through this bank , they hoped to gain a control over the whole
American Legislature ! Jacksox , and all the wellinformed men of the Statc 3 , saw through this infamous but deep scheme . He denounced it to his fellow-citizens . The young farmers and working men , who , in America , understand that ' cunency question' and its workings , which seem to puzzle us so much here , formed associations to stand by the General till he should strangle this monster . In 1824 , accordingly , Jacksox was a candidate for tlin
Presidency of the States . He was opposed b ythithree traitors , Clay , Adams , and Ckawvord ; ami not having an absolute majority over the whole three , was foiled ; the second election by States choosing Qcisct Adams . In 1 S 23 , however , Clay and Chaw " foud beiug cowed by the spirit of the people , the contest was between Jacksox and Adams alone ; and Jacksox was elected by two to one , and in 182 i > , whs inaugurated , in a happy hour , President of the United States of America .
Now came his struggle with the monster of corruption , the bank and its villanous directors , of whom one Biddle was the chief . He denounced tho bank and its briberies in a message to Congress . In Congress the Whigs still had a majority . Their answer wag ' a bill , ' which passed loth houses , to renew the Bank Charter . Clay brought in that bili , aud Wkustek supported it . In 18-52 , the re-election of Jacksox came oa ; and in 1882 , 'to destroy him , i . possible , Clay and his majority gave him this bill to sign . The President threw himself on his country , lie toid them ' he would cut his right hand off before
he would sign such a bill , as President . ' The farmers and the working men stood by their President . The infamous tank spent ; millions in bribery . All was in vain . Jacksox was ru-slected ; and , at tlie same time , a Congress , in . which there was an immense majority of his supporters . He removed tlio deposits of Government from the clutches of the infamous hunk . Its eharter expired : its paper-money was annihilated ; and , by the President ' s wife measures , a currency of gold and silver established
in the doing of which the coffers of the Hank ot England were so drained ,, that , in 1 SS 9 , sho would ; had it hat been for a tons , from the- Bank of Franca ; hare . stopped payment . 'JJhis was the greatest , ict of the life- of this great man . Van- Bumsx succcedstl him , and his policy is now being carried out by Prasident Polk , who may be styled a pupil of Jackson . It is believed that with General Jacksox originated the grand idea of annexing Texas- , Oregon , and tl Californias , to the United States . That idea wii ' inevitably be carried into effect . "

puts are deserving of attention and consideration . After we have given his reasonings , we shall endeavour to consider them . He says , then f—Many persons arc of opinion that the excitement of the present year will end like the excitements of 1825 and of 1830 , in a great convulsion , and judging merely by the number of new schemes which ar « launched every week , and the reckless eagerness with which they are taken up , this sewns only tco probable . Still the circumstancos of the country . it the pruseiit time differ so widely
from those which esisted at either of the two periods mentioned above , ami that in points of importance , that it is not possible to rai . son from one to the other with any degree of confidence . lVliat may lie safely inferred from the experience of the past . is , that speculations like tliostyf lS . ' 5 and 183 fi , will end in the same way ; but this only " applies to : i certain clnss of shave jobbing , mul certainly not to the commerce and stnple manufactures of the country , or the condition of trade generally , at the present time .
The chief points of difference between the condition of this country now and in the years 1825 and 183 li are the following : — First , we have now a sound currency and a safe banking system ; then we had neither . During the excitement of 1825 , the whole country was deluged with one-pound notes , issued by private bauks so miserably feeble thtit nearly a hundred of them suspended payment when called upon to fulfil their engagements ; and though there were no one-pound notes in 1830 , yet the joint-stock banks were then to a great extent under the management of rash , confident , and inexperienced men , bent above all things on doing a large business , and willing to take any risks
for that end . It was at this time that the Northern and Central Bank fell , and that the ruin of other banks equally ill muiagcd was prepared . The events of that disastrous pe .-iod have never since been forgotten by the banking i . teivst , which is at present in us sound a state as it has e-er been at any period of our national or commercial history . This appears to us to be the grand distinction betweeu the commercial activity of the present mid of the p .-eccuint , ' tiinu-. They were preceded and occasioned b great monetary excitement and derangement , win ! t the present excitement has sprung up under a sound cu r ncy ami as prudent u system of banking us tho country has ever known .
Another g -eat difference between the excitement of the present tii : e . md of the two periods which we have mentioned is , that now the ran- materials of manufactures are cheap , whilst then they were extravagantly dear . Tho speculation of 1 S 25 was chiefly in cotton , and other prime materials , and that of 1830 was so likewise , though not to the same extent , whilst this year cotton at least is cheaper than it was ever known to he , and all raw materials at a moderate price . So little is the public disposed to encourage speculation of this kind , that we have seen within the hist few months , : i rise in the price of iron suddenly checked , even in thu midst of the railway fever ,
and the p -ice of that great material of railway construction agiiiii brought within very moderate limits . As a general rule , this is the case with all raw materials at the pres ? nt time , and this is not only a great contrast with the state of things whu-h existed in 182 D and 18-30 , but is also a great security against the manufacturers ot staple articles being left with heavy depreciated stocks on t )) vir } iai ) ds . As far , induce ] , as it is possible to judge , there are scarcely any stocks of the principal lminul ' itctures to be depreciated ; fur , rapid as pruduuiiou has been for some lime , it has done nothing more than keep puce with consumption . This is another point in which the present excitement diners from the excitements of former
year . * , Aiioth -r point of difference is the increase in the number of o . tr foreign markets . The foreign trade of the country is no longer confined to the United States ( alwaj ii fluctuating , though often a valuable "saylwt ) and to two or three markets li' -jrc , Sut extends to every country on ' . " face of the earth , and runs in too many and too independent channels to be iu danger of any general stoppage . The tradi : of China may be said to have sprung up from a meie nothing since 1830 , and that with India , Australia , the Cape , Turkey , G recce , Egypt , and many other coun tries , has wonderfully increased . It would be difficult to point out a country which has not cither direct or indirect commercial relations with England , and the universal ¦ Jiil ' usion of English commerce is the best security that the country could h » re against those violent shocks to which it was subject whim thu foreign commerce of tho country was conttnud to some naif dozen countries .
The gruat danger of the present excitement arises from the immune number of new schemes , chiefly railway schemes , which are now beforo the public , tint ! of which there seems to be absolutely no end , the production oi them lining still as rapid as ever . No one can doubt that , sooner or later , there will be a great crash amongst these projects , in which numbers of persons who now flatter themselves that they will bo ablo to sell out , with a profit , from the various projects with which they are now so
rashly connecting themselves , will find themselves grievously mistaken . Still this railway excitement is for from luting an unmixod evil , i ' or it will be the means of establishing railway communication in many parts of the empire ( Ireland especially ) where it might not otherwise have been introduced for many years . Whether tlu members of many , of these railways will obtain a decent dividend is quite another affair ; but that is a matter about which those who take care of their own money have no great reason to trouble themselves .
Our contemporary contends that there arc several essential points of difference in tteprmnt condition of the country and that of the years 1825 and 1836 ; and that these differences will operate to prevent the " reverse " --sure to come sooner or later—from heiuj : so severe as those of the two respective periods named . These points of difference are time : —" a sound currency and safe banking system ; '' " cheapness , of the raw materials of manufactures ; " and " the incrcascu number of our foreign markets . " First , as to the currency and banking system . His assertion that we hare a " sound" currency , and " safe" banking system will "sound" very strangely in the cars of those who know that some £ 30 , 000 , 000
of mere " promiteii-to-paii" arc circulating as money , depending on the " absence of suspicion" only for their existence -. liable at any hour to a demand for "conversion into gold , " which demand " , if wade , would blow the whole system of " sound" currency and " safe" banking to the devil!—very " sound " and " safe" that sys ! em which depends entirely on confidence—liable at any moment to bo shocked and upset ! But if our contemporary uses the terms in a relative and not in an absolute sense , we freely accord him ao much . Compared witb 1825 , the currency is " sound , " and the Banking system " safe . " At that period , there wen £ 41 , 049 , 298 " J ' romisM-to-pay" in circulation :, nnd ,
worst ol all , £ 27 , 000 , 000 of that amount was proitctcdhj law from all demand of payment ! As far , therefore , as thu difference between tho amount oi DEBT- '' Moxuir" in 1325 ,. and the amount of the same species of " money" in 18 < i . > goes—being the difference between £ -11 , 01 ) 0 , ( M and £ 30 , 000 , 000 ; and , as far as . there is a difference between the issuers ol this " fictitious money" being protected by law from the pn ^ u tmt of the sums they lmv « " promised , " and the being liable to be made to pay as far as they are able :, as far as these things go , the present currency and banking system- aro " soiuuA" and " safe" ' ' compared with those of 1825 . But somparcd with KSSti , ti ; e " difference" is- not so gnat , and
consequently uoL so essential . At that period the amount of" 1 ' i-outiMs-to-puy" in eiyculation was £ 29 , 152 , 000 : now it i * . £ 30 , 01 ) 1 , 89 . 1 Soithere is litilu advantage iuehk ! Oil thu contrary ,, thu ainouui is wiuintt our present cwiuition . And then , as to the " pnidoia " of the Bankers , as compared with thek " rashness " mid " inexperience" in 1830 , > vc realty tear that our cohtcmjxwary lias " reckoned without his host .

then , we doubt not , have some exposures of " prudence" and " good management . " Meantime let us content ourselves with the following . It is pretty tignificant of its kind . We have not had far to fetch it either . The article in the Liverpool Times appeared on Tuesday : on Wednesday , the very day after , the Court of Bankruptcy , in Basinghall-strcet , was occupied with the Mowing instance of " prudence : "THE EOMFOBD BANK . —JOHNSON AND COMPANY ' S BANKRUPTCY . The bankrupt appeared bafore the Court on application for his certificate . He was supported by Mr . Coolie , the barrister , and opposed bj Mr . Wilkinson , for tho assignees . Mr . Lawrence attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of several creditors . ^
The business commenced by the official assignee ( Mr . Follett ) reading the subjoined report on the condition and affairs of the bankruptcy : — The balance sheet of the Komford bank , as filed by Thomas Johnson , sen ., presents the following facts : — That Mr . Thomas Johnson admits having withdrawn from the bank , in thirteen years , the following sums , viz : — In bills £ 13 , 380 Money 12 , 735 Total £ 26 , 115 That the bank was carried on the whole period ot'ita existence ( eighteen years ) not only without profit but at a lyss : — The expenses being stated at ... £ 1-3 , 767 Profits 11 , 511 Showing a loss upon the trading of 3 , 236 In addition to bad debts of ... 2 , 754 Total £ 3 , 010 As quarterly balances were struck during the whole I uriml of eighteen years , it must be assumed that Mr , Johnson irasaivarc of the position of the bank affairs . The balance sheet of Thomas Johnson ' s private estate . The private balanoe-sheet of Thomas Johnson admits the receipt iu thirteen years of—Tim previously named ... ... £ ' 20 , 11 ' ' Receipt from the Aldgate concern ... 18 , 70 !) Profit , rents 3 . 073 ££ 30 , 801 which is accounted for by Loss on white lead concern £ 8 , 669 ^ Interest and discount ... 19 , 714 > £ 4 G , G 80 Personal and domestic expenses 18 , 306 / further proving that the bills and monies withdrawn from the Komford bank were applied to purposes distinct from that concern . It is almost unnecessary to say , that the certificate of the bankrupt was refused . Had it been otherwise , it would hare been a most scandalous shame The commissioner , in his judgment on the case , observed , that the bankrupt : —
Wa = a banker carrying on business , and who , nowfailing , was found for years to have been miserably insolvent . A l /; iiikcr was supposed to bo above tlie ordinary grade of men ; he was looked upon us a man who possessed stamling , not only in respect to wea ' tli , but also with regard to intellect and strict business habits . But had Alderman Johnson in the present case showed these qualities , or had the course of liis business proved him to have batn the man fit for this branch of trade ? Quite the contrary ; for without he had shut his eyes , without he had been w >!! fuli y blind to the state of his affairs , he must have known from the quarterly balance taken that the bank was a losing affair from year to year , without profit in one
single instance . Nothing that could be urged would in his ( the Commissioner ' s ) opinion palliate the conduct of the bankrupt . While in a state of hopeless insolvency he had received the monies of his customers , and instead of rendering them iu due payment had applied them to his own speculations aud uses . After mueh consideration , it was his opinion that the failure of the bankrupt , in this case , could not be regarded as the ' result of misfortune , or of circumstances over which he had no control , but rather as arising from years of misconduct as a trader ina branch of business which of all othcr .-i required tin : greatest care and vigilance ; and , thurrfure , the judgm -nt of the court was that the certificate must bu re .
fused . That little specimen of the " prudence" of our bankers , and of the " soundness" of tho banking system , will surely suffice for the present . Whether it was much exceeded by the " management" of the Northern and Central Bank we do not take on ourselves to determine : but we know that it does not make much for the first " point" of essential difference between orcsent and former times that our
contemperary seeks to establish . The amount of Faper-11 money" in circulation now as compared with 1 S 36 is decidedly against his views , when judged by hiss own rules : and we think we are fairly entitled to say that on his first " point" he has failed in shewing the " difference" he contends for . If the ' dilfurenee " not there , or if it Ic not so great as lie would represent , the inference he has attempted to draw from it is baseless also .
The second " point" relied on . by the Liverpoo ' Times , as holding out hope that the next reverse wiii not affect trade and commerce so severely as those o ! 1 ? 25 and 133 b ' , is , the present comparative cheapness of raw materials of manufactures . But is it true that they arc " cheap ? " Nominally , they way be so : but to ascertain whether they are really so , it will require that we take more things into account than the respective prices of the respective acriods . In 1823 , the amount of " notes in circulation" was £ 41 , 000 , 01 ) 1 ); in 1815 , it was £ 30 , 000 , 000 . This of itself , would cause a vast difference in nomimr prices . The question is , are present prices of raw
materials " cheaper , " iu reference to the amount or " money , " than they were in 1 S 25 and 1 S 36 . But there is even another element to bo yet taken into the calculation . What relation does the prices of niw materials bear to theprictt of thewamfaetured ankles at the respective periods ? Are present prices " cheap" when so tested i 1 n J 885 the official value of British manu factures exported was £ 10 , 468 , 232 ; the real value £ 33 , 033 , 173 . In 183 G tho official value of the ex ports was £ 35 , 229 , 837 : the real value £ 53 363 -572 Itt - 18-M the official value of the exports ' was itl 31 , o ( J 4 , 503 ,: the real value . ' £ 58 , 584 , 202 The raw materials , therefore , in 18-15 had need be 11
cheap , " if they are to be « r any proportion to the immense depreciation in price of manufactured articles . Look at the difference ! In 1844 ti ^ i times theqmntit ' jbrings but one-and-two-thirds the price ot 1 S 251 If the price of run materials in 1845- were nothing nearly as "dear" as at the former , period , Vvz ?/ w . vat would our manufactures and commerce be woeth ? The fact is , that whBM thus tested . ;; when nil filings are taken into the- calculation ; when , the luwstion ia fairly examined lu all its bearing * ,, the prices of the raw materials at the present timc-cw » w * fcw-nro not " cheap f they are " dear : ! ' and tlw-inference the Liverpool Tk * a has drawn from-his SBSvnd fact is-baseless , for his-fact is no fact at all .
• »< c now come to the third " point" of difforencj set forth by our contemporary . , between the- present and tonucr times : " the vmw * in the number of oor-forei gn markets . " Her * we give him , without lastation , fa- fect . Our market , lMvi iac , ca , Cluna hw been opened to us * and India , Australia -urkey &re 9 ce , Egypt , and other places tako-mow-oF our goods than they did . What of that ? Have wenot befuretiaie been quite-as unlikely to . glnt ourit - . rei » n markets as we now seem to be ? Has it not : maiiy times seemed as if there was to be end
no or bwtoourpgogress in the- markets of tlie world » And havewe not found ourselves kid , prostrate ? U * not - glut" , weili ou « hi gttwrta * . ave we a guarantee that it shall not be so again ?

It may not aflfcet China ; but it will affict usat homeand it a ueneieney of food here cauaa . it to be " dear ' what will" Prosperity » bo worth
. We readily : grant tbat the best symptom in oi > r condition . is the absence of Stocks in tho hands of the merchants . It is beyond dispute that the consumption or demand for our manufactured » oo < k l , as been astounding !) - immense . It is also tm * th . t the demand continuca : that little appearance of " K | ut » presents itself as yet . Still that " uiffcrenee" n condmonbetween these and former time * will not sav rado and

LORD STANLEY'S IRISH LAND BILL . § As soon as Lord Staslky ' s Irish Land Bill was su ( . mitted to the consideration of the Ilouse . of Lords , « J ventured the following opinion as to tho manner it' ) which an Irish landlord would evade its provision should it become law : — f , Lord Stanley dispenses with law as n means of arriiin-5 at the question of compensation ; but he docs hot dispouif witli the present expensive system , by which a landlord $ straw is at all times able to break a tenant of steel . N . m f
to deal with a case precisely such as Lord Stanley ' s Kil proposes to meet , let us see the mode by which aii Iri .-it lundlord could drive a coach and six through the projiosdi Act with as much ease as his Lordship says the fannrnfi can drive a cart on the top of an Irish fence . What mml easy in a case where a tenant contracts to take a wrm ? without otlices , with a full share of the proscribed luouiiilsl and requiring drainage , than for the landlord to insMt af condition in the lease , setting forth that the perfiirniiinct ' of any of the three acts protected b y law shall amouirf So a forfeiture of the lease ? 5
In confirmation of our opinion we find that his Lonli ship ' s Bill has been withdrawn " for the present ' s
—an ominous Parliamentary period : and we lean " as that the following alteration made by the select com-il mittee , has been the cause of the bantling's sudik- 1 death :- ' ^ J " The bill is not to extend , < ty "' 1 . To eases in which any lease , or contract , or agrc <\! $ mentinade , OK TO BE MADE , may contain miy matt ,: if or condition to a contrary efi ' ect . '" ' " ( si What a pity that Lord Stanikt did not consult nil
on Irish practice before he ventured upon the abseil dity of checking Irish plunder by English law . lt ' l . t ' l had done so he might have avoided the exhibitioMi jJ impotent he has just made both of himself ariiil ) liis colleagues , in attempting to deal with a fesU'ris- ^ and gangrenous social evil .
