THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 8, 1859. Remarks of Mr. Parsons of Cuyahoga, In the Ilmue of Rrpretenlativci, Feb. lit. 1859, on the Report of the Judiciary committee, asking to be discharged from the further consideration of Mr. Welch's resolution, relative to the Canal Bank of Cleveland. Mr. Speaker: I trust, sir, that the House will not discharge the Judiciary cominilteo from the further consideration of this sulijcct, but will refer the matter back to them, with instructions It report a bill providing for the payment at once, by tho State, of the outstanding bilU of the Canal Iinnk, and the redemption ot the cer tificates of the Treasurer of Slate given lor the same. It is an act of justice that is loudly called for by the people of the Stale, and one they have the right to demand at our hands. Sir, the bills of the Cannl Tank, were taken by our citizens as money, because they supposed the credit of tho State was pledged for their redemption. They reposed with entire confidence upon that belief, and now we are called upon by every principle of equity and fair dealing to redeem that taith. I cannot believe there is a gentleman upon this floor but what would cheerfully give his vote for a bill providing for the redemption of these notes. The liability of the State is undisputed the fact that tho bills never could have obtained credit lor a moment with the commu nity, had not the State been pledged to redeem them, is equally admitted, and that by tno neg lect, or default, or fraudulent conduct, of the sworn officers of tho Stato, they have become worthless in the hands of innocent holders is equully admitted hence it seems to mo that no man who loves justice who uesires to maintain untarnished tho dignity and honor of Ohio can hesitato for a moment as to the clear line of duty. Sir, I insist that the Stato should redeem these notes without delay. Men ana women hold them at this moment who need the bread that these notes ought to buy. Many of them are suffering want aud destitution U of ithem are innocent of any wrong, aud alt or ttiem crv out loudly for relief. The history of the excess ot circulation ot the Canal Bank of Cleveland notes, bnyond the amount of securities pledged for Ihoir redemption, is simply this, and I will state it. as briefly as possible, in answer 'to the various inquiries this discussion has provoked. Mr. McMillan, who was at the time Cashier of the Akron liank, and understood to be interested in tho Canal Bank, called upon Mr. Brcslin, then Treasurer of State, and asked him if he had received from Atwood & Co., of New lork, titty thousand uol lars worth of Ohio Stato Stocks on account of the Canal Bank. Mr. Breslin replied in the nenativo, and Mr. McMillan requested him to make out for the Canal Bunk a quautity of their bills for circulation, savintr that when tno Stocks came he would take the bills to Cleveland, Mr. Brcslin did bo, and tho next day Mr. Mc Millan called at tho Treasurer's office, and asked if the Stocks had arrived, and roanifcscd con siderable surprise when told that they hod not At this time Mr. Breslin had a package of bills of the Canal Bank, ready for circulation, amounting to Eighteen Thousand Dollars. This package Mr. McMillan prevailed upon Breslin lo dolivev to him, upon the assurance that tho Stale stocks to sccuro them, would certainly be on hand either that day or tho next. Mr. Jlc- Millnn was a smooth tongued, oily gentleman- of fine le'sonal appearunc a banker a rail road director and so respectable generally that Mr. Brcslin could not- but trust him. Since that time, circumstances have forced Mr. McMillan "to leave his country for his country's good; and Ohio mourns the loss of so eminent a patriot and so useful a citizen. Mr. Breslin delivered tho notes to McMillan, who took them to Cleveland and delivered them to Mr. Severance, the cashier of the Cannl Bank. These notes were taken by Severance and deposited to his credit on the books of tho bunk, and speedily found their way into cir culation. Mr. Severance afterward transferred the bills to the credit of Mr. J. L. Hewitt, the President of the bank, and when the Bank failed, he was a creditor of the Bank to tho amount of this eighteen thousand dollars which had been thus wrongfully taken from the State and for which the Slate never received an iota of security; for it is needless to add that the Stato never received one dollar of tho stocks as security mentioned by McMillan. Tho wholo of McMillan s statement was a pure fiction, or if not, the stocks were detained on their wav to the Troasuror, and never reached . 1 1 r - C . 1 - m T . - . . i '!'!.,,. me vaults ui ino xivnsury ucuariuieui.. xiiub was the fraud perpetrated upon the people of the State, and in this way did I Ins unsecured Canal Bank money find its way into circulation. In answer to the inquiry of the gontleman from Logan, I would Bay that Mr. Soverance is wholly irresponsible, but Mr. Hewitt is a man of wealth, and that a suit is now pending in Clevclnnd, instituted by Mr. Armstrong, the Ro- ceivcr of tho liank, against Mr. Hewitt to re. cover back this $18,0110 of which the Stato was defraued. Throwing out of tho caso all questions as to the responsibility of Messrs. Hewitt and Severance throwing aside all questions ns to their conduct for which I offer no apology, it will bo seen that had not Mr. BreslinQ lcarly transgressed tho line of his duty in delivering tin Canal notes to McMiUen bejort he received the reqmsito security, no difficulty would have oc- currcd, and the people of tho State would have been saved the losses they were compelled to bear, by reason of his gross misconduct. I make no charges againBt Mr. Brcslin. He undoubted ly placed full confidence in Mr. McMillan, and felt assured that tho stocks would certainly coinc to hand. But it will not excuse him for moment he olearly deviated from the path of duty, and thus from that deviation, has arisen oil this difficulty. The simple question for us to answer in view of these facts is, shall the innocent holdor of these bills suffer because of the wrongful act of the sworn agent of tho State? The State is sued these bills the State gave thcra credit the State indorsed tliom, and the people took them, knowing that the Stoto was responsible for their redemption. So with the Seneca county Bank bills. They should be redeemed, una re deemed at once. The dignity of the State re quires it. Oood faith and good conscience re quires it. Shelter the State behind its sovereignty to say It cannot be sued, arfU therefore cannot be made to pay its honest debts, is simply to commit, in my judgment, an outrage upon the rights of the people. Hence my bolicf that a bill providing for the redemption of these notes would meet with universal approval and command the vote of every man on this floor. Taxes, &c. Ed. Ohio State Journal: A correspondent thinks tho estimates of "Ictus" rather large, and states the amount, in round terms, received by the Treasurer and Auditor, and the amount paid for clerk Lire. "Ictus" hag accomplished a very useful purpose in bringing this subject before the public, and producing discussion in regard to it; and the more it is discussed, the more will tho public be satisfied that tho views of "Ictus" are right. The amounts received vary in different years and Bomo officers will spread their legal charges over a much larger sum than others. And although the sums stated by "Ictus were evidently estimates, still there have been years where these olhcers have realized tho full sums stated. It is a matter of some interest, and it would not be amiss to have a careful official statement made, if the books of those officers will show it, of the amount paid to those officers for a series of years. It would bo well also tolook into the subject of Clerk hire, aud see if there is no leak in that direction. Clerk hire in the Treasurer's office! A half a man can do all the business of that ofiico during the year, except a short time when the tuxes are boing paid in. There is no necessity, however, for discussing this subject further. The fuels can be ascer tained, and it is admttcd that more has been received some years previous, than was received last- year, by the treasurer, the same may be said of the Auditor. Let the Commissioners examine it, or send persons who are disinterested and capable, and see what has been paid as compensation to the officers in years gone by, as well as last year. Let the public know authoritatively what has been and can be done in the way of charges by these officers. Upon such a disclosure if every thing is right, let it remain as it is; if not let some remedy be applied. Let these and all the other suggestions by Ictus "bo well considered and acted upon, and much good may result. PHILO ICTUS. News and Humors of the Mails. Charles Dickens writes for It ! It is asserted positively that Dickens has been engaged to write a series of papers for the New York Ledger. Now, who next? Shall not tho Ledger advertisements within the next month read ? Thomas Carlyle writes for it ! Alfred Tennyson writes for itl Bulwer writes for it I Macaulay writes for it! Browning writes for it I Nay, shall it not even come to pass that Tupper writes for it? We hope Mr. Bonner, after having obtained an immense circulation through the contributions of Cobb, will not desert the great genius for any other writer, what would the Ledger be without a story from Cobb, though all the intellectual wealth of tho world should enrich its columns? Manifestly no longer tho Ledger. Have Dickens, and Everett, if you will, Mr. Bonner, but 0, keep Cobb! " ' Milton, We observe, has been writing some very indifferent verses for a paper down in Kentucky. We are sorry that Milton has done so. "Paradise Rcgained"kwas not a distinguished success, and tho author will add nothing to his reputa tion by the emission of verses on "Friendship," such as we copy below : Oh, how desolate and dreary Would this sinful world appear, If the heart when worn and weary Knew not friendship's kindly tear I Hopes bright flowers, how soon they wither I Love is an illusive dream. They mny fade and die together, As tho evening', fuding beam.

The Cloveland Plain Dealer is reliably in formed that Robert J. McHenry, whose trials for crimes committed by the notorious Townsend the public are painfully familiar with, has lately came in possession of a handsome fortune, left him by an uncle, who recently died in Scotland, If ever a man underwent diabolic persecution at the hands of a vigilant police, and a corps of virtuous reporters, McHenry was that man. The sanguinary locals of Cleveland were bent upon having him hanged by way of testing his identity; and when it began to appear that he was not Townsend, they wanted him hanged for crimes which a man of hisjphysiognomy would probably commit, Decoration for Lieut. Maury. . Walewski, Louis Napoleon's Minister for For eign Affairs, has directed tho French Minister at Washington to ascertain whether our government will allow Lieut. Maury to receive the Or- dcr of the Legion of Honor from the Emperor, as a recognition of tho great services, which Lieut. Maury has rendered to the navigators of oil countries by his works upon ocean current! and winds. JNo omeer of our government can receive such testimonials without the permission of Congress. Cranberries at St. Croix.

V o regret to hear that a gentleman of this city, of distin guished literary and scientific attainments, ono who bears a venera ted name, and whose gonius and science has given an important improve ment to the cities of the United Slates, has been so far bewildered in the mazes of spiritualism as to believe that be is wrongly mated with an amiable and devoted wife, and has found his spiritual affinity with another young lady. As we have been informed, the wife, though heart broken by the development, and having one child, has assented to the request of hor husband for a separation, and he baa gone to Indi- ana to procure a divorce in order that ho may marry his new affinity, who, wo believe, is, like hia wife, a lady of intelligence, amiability, and irreproachable in character. Important if True. Banvurd, the panorama man, says tho Home Journal, can trace, his pedigree to Bonnivard, who was imprisoned in Chillon Castle, on Lake Geneva, and whose sufferings suggested to Byron his poem, the "Prisoner of Chillon.'' Saved by a Newspaper. A few days since Mr. R. II. Martin, who is in the employment of John II. White, Esq., as one of the superintendents of tho laborer) at work at the new Washington Spring, Saratoga, being engaged near tho steam pump, by some means slipped io that the skirt of his coat caught in the cogs of the pump. One bite of the cogs on his coat, and it commenced drawing him in pretty fast. He had no timo to givo any alarm before ho was brought up with a prospect of being maimed by the cogs, but fortunately ho had a copy of a newspaper folded tightly togethor in his pocket, and when tho cogs came to that they stopped, throwing the band off the pullies. The moral of this is, that everybody ought to wear a newspaper in his coat pockei. We hope this will be donc; and the circulation of merit o-riuusjitcratiire thereby extended. STATEJTEIV1S.

Tho Plain Dealer of last evening Buys that a woman named Littles died of starvation on Friday night last on the West Sido. The woman's husband is serving a term in the State Prison for passing counterfeit money ; his Bcntence expires in March next. She left four children, the eldest but eight years of age a little girl. We hope the benevolent will search them out, and provide for them. The mother was buried at the expense of the city. Review. For the honor of humanity, and respect for our friends of the West Sido, we would desire to correct tho impression of an article in the Plain Dealer of last evening. A woman by the name of Cooley (not Little), of most intcmpernte habits, whose liusband is now in tho Olrio Penitentiary for passing counterfeit money, and who had for somo time been helped by Mr. Warner and others, died in her wretchedness on Satur day last and was buried at the expense of the city. Tho character of the littlo girl and the other children are what could be expected from such training, not noted for either truth or honesty. Herald. Sad Accident.

The Death of the Historian Prescott The following obituary tribute to tho memory of the historian, William Hickling Prcscott, probably from the the pen of his friend Mr, Georirc S. Hillard, of Boston. We take it from the Boston Courier of the 29th: William Hickling Prescott is dead. There no spot on the earth, where the English Innguage is spoken indeed no ono in which letters ore valued in which tins startling intelligence will not fall with a saddening weight upon the heart, He died suddenly, in the prime of life, with all his faculties about him, in the muist ot unhuisli- ed labors and loving friends. We can hardly feci that we shall no longer see on earth, that tine cordial face, or again be cheered by his warm hearted greeting. About two years since he had a slight stroke of paralysis, which, however, soon yielded to medical treatment, ana lor many inonms past he has seemed in excellent health and Bpirits; and his friends confidently predicted for him many more years of active literary exertion. But it was otherwise ordered oy tne Aii-uispos- er. At twelve o ClocK ycsieraay ne was in nis usual health; at half-past twelve he was strioken with apoploxy, at two o'clock ho breathed his last. Mr. Prcscott. belonged to a Now England family of high honor. His grandfather, Colonel William Prescott, as is well known, commanded the American forces at- the battle of Bunker Hill. His father, William Prescott, generally known and addressed' in this community, dur ing the latter years of his life, as Judge Pres cott, was ono of the best ana wisest men who have ever lived and died among ns. He was a lawyer, in a very large practioe for a great monv vonrs, ana a very acute, succcsstul ana learned jurist. But his mind was never subdit ed to what it worked in; there was nothing in it narrow, limited nor technical. On thooontrnry, ho was a man of large sagaoity, comprehensive wisdom, who looked at all things from a high point of view, and, although his life was passed in a privnto walk though lie never held any other than a judicial office and lor a short peri, oil, yet in the judgment of all who kne w him there was no civil function or trust, which ho was not conipctont to discharge with signal ability. His mother was a daughter of Thom as Hickling, who for a great many years was United States Consul at the Axores. He was born in Sivlem, Mass., May 4, 17'JO, and resided thore until his father's removal to Boston, when ho himself was twelve years old. Ho entered Harvard Collogo in 1811, and was graduated in 1814. While in college, ho was deprived by no- cident of the use of ono eye, and tho sight of the other was so impaired as topreront himfrom emrncinff in any occupation in which the con stunt use of that organ should be necessary. Happily his father's clrottmstanoc were such as to preclude the necessity of his toiling for bread. He early determined to devoto himself to a life of literature. Soon titter loaving col lege, being advised to travel, he went to Europe and spent two years in n extended tourney through England, Franoe and Italy, and at the end of it returned home in excellent general health, but with no great improvement in the state of his eyes. His marriage soon after took place; und from ' this period his days flowed on in diligent and : uneventful devotion to literary pursuits. He was never enabled to use his own eyes but for a short time in the day, but was constantly ob- ' liged to use the eyes of others for his studies and researches, as well ft to record the results ; of them. His quiet perseverance and continu- . ous industry enabled him to triumph over this difficulty, and to achieve an amount of literary production which is not merely most honorable to his intellectual powers, but eonveys ft noble moral lesson to all who may be burdened with . similar trials. His earliest literary efforts were contributions to the Nvrl h American Review, upon subjects drawn from Spanish, English, Ameri- ! can, and especially Italian literature. Indeed, at ono time he contemplated an extended work upon Ilalian literature. Ho also contributed to Sparke's American Biography a beautiful notice of Charles Brockdcn Brown. Most of these earlier productions wore published in 1845, in ft volume entitled "Biographical and Critical Miscellanies." i ; , After some deliberation and hesitation, he selected the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella as the subject of on extended hiB'.orical work; and , to this the assiduous labor of many years was cheerfully and patiently given. He drew his materials not merely from all printed sources, but ho was enabled to procure many manuscript authorities which no writer before him, at least in English, had been able to gain access to. Tho work was published in 1888, in three volumes, under the title of the "History of the Heign of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic" As we are giving only a rapid skotch of Mr.' Prescott's life, without any extended literary criticism of his works, it is enough here to say that this admirable production was received with the utmost enthusiasm, both in Europe and America. Scholars and philosophers admired its depth of research, whilo general readers wero charmed by the limpid ease and natural grace of its style, his brilliant descriptions and . animated pictures. It was soon translated into French, Spanish and German. Its author was immediately elected a member of tho Royal Academy of Madrid. The popularity which it gained upon its first publication it has since steadily maintained. It has gone through several t editions in England and America, and is one of the established classics in the language. Mr. Prescott's literary industry was not checked by the success of his first work. He did not. for a moment. reDose under his laurels. He immediately devoted himself to the investi gation of another brilliant period in tne nistory of Spain, the fruits of which appeared in 1843, in a work, in three volumes, called the "History of the Conquest of Mexico, with a Preliminary Viow of the Ancient Mexican Civilization,' and the Life of the Conoueror. Hernando Cortes." This work was reoeived with favor not less than that which had greeted the History of Ferdinand and Isabella. Tho literary world recognized in it the same careful research, the same accuracy of statement, the same persuasive sweetness and magic beauty of style. In 1847, was published in two volumes, tne "History of the Conquest of rem, with a Preliminary View of the Civilization of the Incas," a work of kindred and commensurate excellence to that of the "History of the Conquest of Mex ico. Mr. Prcscott now devoted himself with unabated ardor to the preparation of ft work of wider range and broader scope a work which, alas I he has not been permitted to finish the History of the Reign of Phillip the Second." This was a theme requiring a larger and more comprehensive treatment than his previous works, and Mr. Prescott made his preparations for it with an extent and deliberation proportionate to its niagnitudo. ' He had now become ono of the great literary names of the age, And found every where persons who were ready to give him assistance. Everywhere, both public collections and private archives were thrown open to him. It was while preparing for this work that ho indulged 'himself with a brief excursion to England, where he was received with the ntmost enthusiasm by persons yf the highest distinctions in literature and social life, ftnd where the favorable impression created by his works was confirmed by his prepossessing appearance snd delightful manners. He took ample time for the task, which-he destined to be the crowning work of his life. In the latter part of 1855, appeard the first two volumes of this work, under the title of the "History of the Reign of Philip the Second, King of Spain." The highest expectations of the publio were gratified by it. In dealing with this more comprehensive subject, it was admitted that he had shown tho same careful research, the same conscientious balancing of authorities, the same calm and judicial .temper, and that it was commended to the general taste by the same picturesque narrative and the same fnsoination of style. In 1856 Mr. Prescott published an edition of Robertson's " History of the Reign of Charles the Fifth," with notes and a valuable supplement, containing an account of the Emperor's life after his abdication. This very last year, indeed, but a few weeks since, the third olume of his History of Philip tho Second appeared. Tho ink seems hardly dry upon the manuscript in which we recorded our honest and fervent admiration of this delightful volume The highest possible acknowledgments of literary distinction were literally showered upon . t. mi . T, f -tf " C 1 :n Air. rrescott, tne university oi unuiu, iu 1850, conferred upon him the degree of Dootor of Laws. In 1845, he received the highest of all distinctions of its class, in being elected ft corresponding member of the class of Moral and Political Philosophy in the French Institute, succeeding Navarite, the Spanish historian. Of most of the lenrned societies in Europe he was a member. Mr. Prescott was as rich in the love of his friends as in the admiration of the literary world. His manners were most frank, simple, and engaging; his social nature was strong and active; and his sympathies were ever ready nd easily moved. His countenance was extremely fine and prepossessing, and retained to the last a youthful glow and animation which were the faithful expression of a sunny temper and an ever young heart. No man was ever more warmly beloved; no man could show a better title to the affections of his friends. His honors and distinctions never impaired the simplicity and sweetness of his nature, or changed bis countenance towards any one whom he had evor known and loved. No man so eminent was ever pursued with less of envy, detraction or ill-will. No man's honors were ever a subjeot of more hearty delight to his friends. Mr. Prescott. leaves a widow and three children two sons and ft daughter. The Boston TrmelUr says: "We are informed that the funeral services over the remains of Mr. Prescott will take place on Monday next, at three o'clock, P. M.,at Chauncey place Church, (the Rev. Mr. Ellis's.) The body will be deposited in his family tomb beneath St. Paul's Church. In regard to the circumstances attending his death, we under-Bland that he was in his usuol health and spirits on Friday morning. At about half-past twelve o'olock he was suddenly prostrated by the fatal shock. Physicians wero powerless, and the announcement was made to his afflicted family that, a few hours at the utmost would end his earthly career. Ho passed away at a little after two o'clock in an unconscious state, and early in the afternoon the crape upon the door announced the sad occurrence to suoh as were aware of his critical position. The evont will be appropriately noticed by the Massachusetts Historioal Society ot ft future day. Just Received, 3 TIERCES OP GARDNER, PHIPP Co.'s Celebrated Hams, the beat cured Ham.
