GOVERNOR TOMPKINS OX BANKS. The following extracts from the Gonernor's speech to the Legislature of New York, in 18 I 2, are deserving of re-puoiication on many accounts: M One of the baleful consequences of banks is the facility with which credit nay be obtained by certain descriptions of persons in and near cities and villages, through the medium of a responsible endorser. The fictitious capital thus acquired by a mailt inspire! confidence in all des

criptions of dealeis and mechanics. vro consequently trust him. Whenever adversity overtakes him, the p:operty on hand is immediately transferred to the endorser, to secure the bank demand. This course is dictated by a sense of gratitude to the endorser, and by a desire to propitiate the good will and future patronage of the bank: and it thus happens that) Whilst the bank obtains full payment more humble creditors, trho hae trusted the insolvent, inconsequence of the imposing appearances with Which that very bank invested him, lore the utmost farthing of their dues. Hence, and not from the defect of the insolvent law, as is generally imagined, proceeds the universal complaint that the estates of insolvents yield no diidends to ordinary creditors. The wound which the morals and reputation of neighboring slates have experienced, from a too great indulgence of trio bank mania, and the present depreciated credit of bank currency there, and in England, furbishes a lesson of vast imp irtancc to patriotic and upright statesmen. The paper of the late Bank of the United Sates had an unbounded cridit and circulation. At its hi si creation there were few rival institutions in the great mercantile cities, where its branches were established ; and it therefore enjoyed the deposits and business of the first houses and char acter in the Union It was also patronized by the exclusive deposits of the general government! to the a mount of near twenty millions annuallv, which added greatly to its abitity for accommodation ; and it" that bank, with such unprecedented advantages, can neither mak a dividend for the present year, nor redeem the original stock at par, after payment of its debts, which is evident from the price of its stock, what would be the fate of many of our present hanks were their affairs brought to a close ? And they will assured!: he brought to a close whenever a material shock shall be given to the credit and circulation of their fiaficr. The then disastrous consequences are incalculable ; consequences which will not be coTiJivd to cities and villages but Will firrvade, in a more eminent degrn the agricultural .arts of the ttase."

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. New York Aug. 30. The fine ship Martha, capt. Sketchier , arrived here on Saturday, in 31 days from Liverpool, which port she left on the morning of the 26th ult. The editors of the Mercantile Advertiser have received papers to the 24th, and London papers to the evening of the 23d July. Those of the latest dates arc principally filled with accounts of numerous meetings of the people in various places, on the subject of their grievances. The meeting at Smithfield on the 2 ;st caused considerable alarm in London; the mayor stated that information had been laid before him, on oath, that it was intended by that meeting to proceed to acts of open violence and bloodshed. The numbers assembled at Smithfield were estimated at from 50 to 90,000, who peaceably dispersed in the afternoon. Lord Sidmouth has addressed circular letters to the lords lieutenant of the manufacturing counties, directing them to give orders to the yeomanry cavalry to hold themselves in readiness to assist the magistrates in the. preservation of the public peace.
