 The " Convention of Business men," have assembled in Philadelphia, and on the 2d inst organised their assembly by the ap- pontment of the Hon. William Halsev, of New Jersey, President James Brewster, of Connecticut, and Philip Raybold, of Della ware, Vice Presidents; and Daniel M'Kim of Philadelphia, and R. N. Strattan of New York, Secretaries.

 The proceedings are stated to have been conducted with the utmost harmony and good fellowship. They adopted some twen- ty or two dozen Resolutions almost unani- mously. They strongly reprehend the idea of a treasury bank under the control of the government. The present distresses of the country they attribute to several and in most cases the true causes, the principal of which are-the manner of distributing the public revenues among the states; the Interruptions afforded to commercial engagements, by withdrawing from it's ordinary business chan nels large amount of money, collected for the public use the excessive issues of bank paper, and the facilities thereby afforded for extensive and rash contracts and speculations in land, stocks, 6tc. the neglect of agricultu- ral pursuits the excess of importations over expectations the idleness, luxury and ex- travagance in which too many have indulg- ed; and the intense political excitement which has pervaded all parts of the country

 They declare gold and silver the only constitutional standard, but represent we'll regulated and guarded system of bank credit as essentially necessary in the prosperity and happiness of the country.

 They disapprove of giving credits on im- port duties, which they conceive ought to be paid in cash; and strongly recommend liberal bounty on the cultivation of raw silk in the country.

 An uniform system of bankruptcy through out the union is suggested as desirable sub- iect for legislation, as well as the further en- couragement of education. These appear to be the subjects to which they have directed their deliberations and resolves; and they conclude their resolutions with some strong and just references to the prejudicial consequences arising from exist ing party feeling, and political animosities.

 Galanry.-The Editor of the Methuen Falls Gazette, speaking of the British success sion says: 'To us the idea of placing young and thoughtless child upon Throne, to rule over mighty nation, is absolutely ridicu- lous! What does little Miss Victoria know about the wants of her people, or the policy of foreign nations"

 If this Methuen editor was in England, he would be whipped at the cart tail, as he ought to be, for uttering treason of the worst kind. l The little Miss Victoria" he speaks of is stout buxum lass of eighteen, with red hair and its usual accompaniments. She could take dozen like the Methuen editor across her knee and spank them-child fashion without stopping to wink. LITTLE Miss Vic- toria," indeed! why sine is big enough to rule dozen such kingdoms, with the aid of her two bright eyes. There have already been old grannies enough on the throne of Eng land, and we are glad to see the crown revert again to youth and beauty-the only despo- tisms under which men will be happy in spite of their teeth. Yes, if we must have mon- archy, give us the monarchy of beauty if we must have a despotisn1, give us the silken chain of pretty woman. Your old, ugly, gruff, gouty, brandy nosed kings, may die off as fast as they please, and "worms may eat 1 them'' if they have stomach for such food :; but the young and handsome Queen Victoria, may she live forever and day, without To- sing dimple or sporting gray hair Them's our sentiments.

 A Capital Reply.-The Globe says cor respondent inquiries "whether the result of the election is not part and parcel of the great revolution of which MT. Webster spoke"

 It is possible-a sort of battle of Monmouth. The Saratoga and Yorktown affairs have yet to come off, The elections yet to take place are at such distance, that the cars on the Washington and Baltimore railroad will not be able to convey Hessians enough to out vote freemen.-U. S. Gazette.

 Ertroordinary Absence of Mind.--A few I days since gentleman, who had been gum ming in the neighborhood of Verplank's Point, went into the hotel there, to await the arri- val ot the boat to convey him to this city, Wnlle there. some person remarked that the contents of his game bag, were rather unsa- worry, which, on examination proved to be the Case' ana the sportsman said he would throw them into the river. Just then the boat came Puilng along, and the gentleman ran down, put reached the wharf only just as she was putting oil. He immediately threw his game Dag and contents on board the boat, and Jumped in the river himself. He was with : dithculty rescued, having received nothing more serious than good ducking and pret- ty severe tright.-N. Y. Courier.
