Money « Market, He. —A notice lias been is sued by Messrs, George VVildiesaml Co., one of three {grout American houses which slopped payment in June, 1837, requesting all persons who have claims upon them, whether as hill-hold ers or otherwise, to present hem at their count ing house lor payment. The amount of claims to which this notice can apply is understood in the city to bo about £OO,OOO, but that it does not as that amount would imply, include cither the j (debits ol the Bank of England for advances made I{ o ui<! firm, or ul the patties who are under guar tyrteo iu." the repayment of those advances.

That an act j id substantial justice lias been done, however, to the creditors nut holding security, and who arc i necessarily included m tho notice referred to, car,- | not ho dented, and it is a proceeding highly hono, , ■table to all concerned. To be complete, it should hare been dune from the first, when he Bank and , tire guaian.cts ui the house took up their affairs, , without waiting tor those remonstrances Avhtch , such utdairncss naturally called forth, both from , the pre.-s and trout the parlies who were thus threatened with a total loss. Still the boon, late as it is conceded, is a considerable otic. There is only .vne circumstance to he regretted in it, which is, that the only remaining creditors being the P-'iik and the private guarantees, there are no ' I* a i ties left likely to take such a s'ep, who ate on- 1 "tied to call for an account of tho final winding u p of the enormous transactions out of which ! the panic of 1837, arose, and which would have | been a most valuable docum nt to the comnier ! eial interest. 'The negotiation with tlto Bank, out of whi h the present arrangement has arisen, is understood to have been f irso.no lime on foot, but that the directors now consider that they at ' least are perfectly secured. i’lte easiness of money in tho market lias not i escaped the notice of speculalois so shrewd as i those of the United Sia.es; and consequently since, through the payment of the dividends, ca- I pital has become still more abundant, the most . active exertions are l»:nig made to introduce and ! push various descriptions ol American securitic.- and speculations on the Stock Exchange. With several of the state and bank stocks the money I market is yet familiar to some extent, and accor- I ding to recent accounts more and new creations of the sort are or may shortly be expected. Two new slate loans have already beerr icccntly ailu.- ded to, one of them contracted with Mr. Biddle, and both assorted by special agreement, so as to suit the taste of purchasers here, in the shape ol bonds icduced into iteiling money, with the di'i deads payable here at a lived rates of exchange arid interest. In addition to these, however, there are other kinds of sccuiiues of a more objectiona ble character, In which it was sought to tempt people to invest, nr where I Inti may be d.lfieull, to raise money upon them byway ot loan or mortgage. These partake of the nature of pri vate ct terprises, such as coalmining, rail road, and canal companies. Os the insecurity of in vestmcri's in suv'b speculations, and of tho chan ces of success, the' public here can hardly ho sufli | ciernly well qualified 1 i " ,m 8 judgment in » country so remote as th,.’ United 8 ates.

Why is it that the merchants, with c.xtraordi. nary unanimity, arc found arrayed against the present misrulers of our country?
