Auy person who ha* read the newspepe" lair-
I*, will find, from Utc lone ol the administration
print*, that the government haa not yet been able
to antvc'sl conclusions, bat is about to inflict, aa
»oon as ('•ougrcee can be gut together,»ome further
ripeiiniciit .on the country. Wo had reason to
believe that the remit* already produced, would
have satisfied the mint curious. and warned the
Iwldeat innovator, of the danger of straying in
Ibe wilder lies* of conjecture, out of the path* and
beyond the larttMark* which have been laid down
by experience. It menu, howerer, that the m«l
signal failure only'trad* to fret.li' trial* and wilder
exettraiona. The hlolw has coinmenced in qdvu
cate the plan of allowing lire collection of dutie»,at
the different eutllom houses,to retain the amounts
(ill drawn from them by warrant* from the Trea
sury department, and, of cmjfsc, all the other pa
per* of theaame party join in recummemling the
tncasuie. The duliec are to be collected in the
eunititutiohal currency, and (raid nut in the same,
and tlten.aey they,-the government will be what
it abuuld lie, a bard money government.''
The ot’ject of these remark* i* U> draw public
attention to the effects likely to Iw produced by
*ucli a r.turaa of policy—to shew what clu< is
nto»l likely lu he affected by it—to inquire into
the cause* of the hostility of the ksders of the
preaen' party in power, to the mercantile classes,
and to point out the intimate connection which
oxiats Iwlvreen their welfare and that of the other
claasea of the coinaranity. I shall, however, lw
fore entering on tin < topic, attempt to give a histo
ry of the great expansion and contraction of the
currency; and endeavor to point out the agency
which the .government lies had in bringing about
the present unparalleled stale of tilings, in order
to elucidate more clearly the effects whirl) arc
likely to be produced by the proroiied experiments.
There is no subject, probably, on which legisla
tors have mode so many blunders,in all countries,
as in their attempt* to regulate the currency;
and certainly, considering the short period the
United States has tieen in existence, no other
country can boast a greater variety of change*.—
After the war of the revolution, the continental
money grew gradually less and Ira* valuable, till
it became totally worthless. Notwithstanding
thia severe toss to the community,we find that the
country could nut do without bank*, and that pa
per money Irtgm: to circulate again. The first
bank of the United Htstea was chartered to check
and control the issue* of (lio Hiatc bank*,to equal
ise exchanges, and to aid the government in col
lecting and distributing- (he revenue. Although
this bank was Inunil to answer the end for which
it was chartered in every particular, Congress re
fused to ra-chsrtcr it. Tho internal exchanges
immediately began to fluctuate, commerce to lie
eloggrd, credit to suffer, money to gel scarce, and
new banka to lie called in to furnish it. Next
came total disorganisation, a suspension of specie
payments, and all the gloomy train of evils which
arc consequent thereon. This led to the charter
■if another bank of (be United Ntates, which, alter
a struggle of A or A years, brought the currency
back to s sound and healthy stile, and the ea
ch inges to the greatest possible statu us nnifonni
ty. Hank bills were readily redeemed in specie
wherever they j»cre issued. Money, was easily
and cheap'}-, safely and quickly transmitted from
one point to anolhct. Credit had the reward it
merited from punctuality, and commerce was
flowing smoothly in tho ordinary channels,
Thia brief millet- brings us down to the year
1829. In hia message to Congress, that year,
the president hinted, that it was well questioned
by inany, whether lltu charter of the U. S. flank
was constitutional; and it soon became evident
that it was the determination of the party in flow
er to put it down, right or wtoug. Thia deter,
nttnsliun liecame inure end more apparent ovety
year. In the face however of all the arguments—
all the promises and all the threats of the party
in power. Congress renewed the chatter of the
Hank. It was vetoed by the President—Con
gress was utged to remove the depositos—Uy a
large majority they declared them in their proper
place and safe—The secretary of the treasury was
ordered to remove them—lie refused was, remov _
rd, and another appointed for the purpose. Tli,.
depositee were removed, and the (ale of the bank
sealed.
From (be first doubt that was suggested by
the eteruttve as to (hr constitutionality of tho
hank, it was evident that some of the initialed
knew ha doom and many others guessed at it, or
speculated on Utc result. Your Yankee-Umk
skm-Ursokkr.*’ el sonar genua," are nut slow
in seeing where a speculation is to he made.—
There was a chance offered to pluck Untie Sam.
The public depositee were to be divided among
the slate banks and those not interested in stale
banks, wanted to have a chance as well as the
rest. Os course those who knew what the result
of the war upnn the bank was Pi be, were the
first to profit by it. Hanks were applied for at
different point*, and a* all stocks were on the ad
vance they went off like hot loaves. This was
the harvhbt us the initialed. Uut as i. had been
proved tjigt, charters were so profitoble, it was not
to be expected thatthts line us iKieiitesk would be
given up till the market wa* fully stocked. We
el) remember how the legislature of every stale
in the Union was besieged by applicants (or lunik
charters, and when these failed, lor charters for all
other project* that could be invented. The ball,
once set in motion, gained in aise and momentum
of every tarn; (or every charter gianted, increased
the locality of obtaining another, and getting it
into operation
The government preses* have attempted to
prove that (bis disposition to uver-Uank proceeded
from (be prosperity of the country, but it is evi
dent that (bis cause is not sufficient to account
far it. Only IS banka were chattered fur the ten
year* previous to 1830—Since then (bey have
been chartered by the hundred. Now it will be
recollected that 1830, '3l, '33, and part of '33,
were (he least prosperous of any period since
1830; it wa except 1835, in a commercial, and
1826, in an agricultural, point of view. The
price ofUbour.ot the products of agriculture and
manufactures, were low and barely remunerating,
and mercantile transactions could not be consider
ed prosperous. I think. I could prove aatiafactoii
ly, that the country did not need *u h a vest ac
cession to.its banking capital; but of all things de
tail* in a newspaper sketch, appear to the least
advantage. ' I defy any person to prove that the
i repulse xrasjpven to this spirit of bank-making by
the ordinkry eburee of trade. And, on the other
band, it vjfdt be jasily and naturally accounted
for, by lAfctrinfl it to the sets of the government.
The apitonpf ilte-pOvvmmem in tho removal
of .the depoeites from tjjp .bank oftfie U,'B. cree
t>.J a necessity, for that Institution io curtail its
ounts of public money, a* the government should
.(raw for it., The necessity of rapid curtaikneM
tve* made evident by the hostility of (hose in pow
er, the bank tvcll knotting, from til that had pets-
that it would he put down if possible. c
■re told by the Socr»i*ry of the Tressury, ‘tb* l
•t collected from the people six million* in two
month*, end ceuM-d the Slate Dank* to curtail
three mitlii.n* more." This rapid reduction of
the circulating medium, caused a corresponding
decline in the price nf all articles. Foreign Ec
change fell 10 per cent, hi low the actual par, and
consequently specie eould l«e sent to ibi* country
and invested in foreign bills, nnd a clear profit of
slmul 9 per cent would lie the result of the opera-,
lion. In other words it was 10 per cent lielter
for s foreign merchant to send specie to this cou.,-
try to purchase any of our article* of export, than
to suffer money to be reised in Ibi* country, for
the same investment, liy a bill of exchange drawn
on him In the usual mode. This i* a part of (lie
legerdemain by which the government brought*
, considerable amount of specie into the country.
The next step taken to secute the influx of the
, precious metals uss the Gold bill. Uv ibis bill
, Ibe quantity of pure gold in the Eagle »a* re
duced from air i to 232 grain* ; or 0} per cent.
t This reduced the standard us gul l about us much
Wow th/.t of silver, a* it had previously been
. above it—certainly 2J lu 3 per cent; and made it
r Wlcr for a foreign merchant to send gold to lbi«
, country to pay » debt, or to purchase any of our
, articles ol expoit, than to have money raised in
L , this country by the ordinary mode of exchange,
i The liusi* of our currency being almost entirely
i silver, money r«i«ej in this country imiMt lie in
r this medium, nr its representative. Uni hy send
, mg gold, he could furnish n cheaper medium of
. payment, and save shout 8 per cent. The opera
r lion of this law also, was to bring * Urge amount
( of gold into this country. The facility of obtain
l ing the gold for export from England wa* conaid
r erably increased by the law (of 1834, which
c made the Hank of England notes a legal tender,
r. This disengaged the bullion held by the country
. banks, ami money being abundant there, et (bat
i, lime, and interest low, it w«» freely lent by the
; hanks. Tho f.regoing, v’ilh the order requiring
e the French and Neopnlita.'l imlemnilie* to lie re
r turned to u« in gold or silver, are'nll the measure*
- the administration ha* taken tv bringthe precious
I metals into this country. They have lieen very
I successful. Wcaru told hy the Se. 'elary of the
[ Treasury that they have brought intojh* country
■ upward* of forty million* of dollars !
It is granted then that the object is al.a'ned,
but where is the benefit to (lie country.
have certainly received nit immense amount ol
■l’Af'io, hut this fact will not recom|H’ii«e u* for
Ibe immense sacrifices wc have had to make to
obtain it. What advantages arc to result from
it! We arc no richer because we have got it; for
wo have paid for it, wo have given an equivalent;
and if w owe for it we have *till to give on
equivalent. The question is bow is it to benefit
us now that wc have ill I have met with no
satisfactory answer tn ibis question. Wo were
promised by the friend* of this mna*iirc, that
every man wnuld have mute gold in his pocket-
This has not taken place—l like, fact*—Hut 1
will nay further, it cannot lake place. Five nnd
ten dollar pieces of gold, cannot circulate along
with live and ten dollar convertible bank lulls,—
We were (old also, that it would furnish » broad
er and ttioro stable basis for the currency to rest
upon. It Ini* furnished a broader I Midi, but it
cannot lai said to be more solid in proportion to
the superstructure. The number of new hunk*
is fully equal to the extia amount us specie.—
What ibe government has done, is tn furnish spe.
' etc tn enable some two or 11 *ee hundred new
> banks to gel along, (hat could not have been got
I into operation without it; and these were not slow
in putting (heir hills in circulation, iusieud of the
gold ami silver; for vve were told hy (he Secreta
ry of the Treasury in December last, that the cir
culation of bank notes hud increased from 80 to
ISO millions of dollars, nr 60 per cent in eighteen
months. The government absolutely utlempled
to choke the banking system by gorging it with
specie. Is it wonderful that it fattened on it, like
the wolf that the shepherd attempted to choke by
throwing largo lump* of beef to it* I have heard
us the Irish burning tho bills of u bank in order
to break it. Will thia not match it!
I think a careful comparison us the above brief
sketch nffuct*, with the bistoiy of the act* us the
Executive, aa furnished m messages, reports, dec,,
will satisfy any unbiased mind, that the first im
pulse was given to the spirit of over bunking by
Ibe government. As to the effect of the import
of specie, no person can bo mistaken. The Sec
retary (ells us, in December last, of n vast num
ber of new banks being formed, and that they had
increased the circulation of bank notes 40 mil
lions of dollars. Could they have formed this
vast numlier of banks, and pul Ibis immense u
mounl of paper into circulation, if the government
had not furnished the means. I say not. 1 ssy
that in the ordinary course of commerce, we could
nut have received a tithe of this 40 millions of
gold and silver, and consequently, without it for
s basis, wo could not have increased our circula
tion of bank papet 40 millions, in a year and a
half.
If enough has been said to show that (ho go
vernment by it* acts produced the exlraordimtiy
over banking which has taken place duiing the
last few years, the overtrading ol individuals is
easily accounted for. Overtrading as naturally
proceeds from ovribnnking, as smoke doe* from
lire. Tho former cannot b« supposed to exist
without producing the latter. Say trade is in a
healthy state in a community, and there is suffi
cient circulating medium to do the business of
that community already afloat. A new bank is
chartered. To do business it must have custom
ers. Hut as the old banks in the community
have furnished all that was wanted before, tho
new bank can only obtain customers by giving
greater facilities than (lie old banks have been in
the habit nf granting, amt those customer* cannot
find greater facilities necessary to carry on
their old business. Hut wherever there ate len
der* there will be borrower*. The business ol the
place w ill Ik- enlarged. New objects of investment
will lie sought—Merchant* will accommodate
their customers with longer credits and bo less
urgent in requiring punctual [uiymenl Specu
lation will take bold of one article after another,
and a general advance in price bo the result. Is
it not self evident that this would be the course
things would naturally take! and that adding
hank after hank, until the Inane and the circula
tion increased 50 per cent, in a short time, would
account, on stiietly national grounds, far the
greatest overtrading and the wildest speculation
that has yet occurred.
Hut on Ibi* point we hive the evidence of the
secretary of the treasury, in his last report to
Congress. After going rare a minute calculation
of bow head form's the maximum of a
sound citrulalioii, he comes to the conclusion,
that; *4out* *» weessive, and a* in 1918, me
rittree */ Me tinrUtaot pricet which have pre
sailed iiwejalioo to almost every article. «s well
■i* of the ererdordinary propentity i e oeerlro-1
ding old rfeculotirt which haa pervaded *l-'

'■’/’At# excess fun he 'H tuff.cimt to conettlule tiie i
i ehief canoe lot the artificial augmentation in prt- i
1 ee*. The unnatuial stimulus to speculation, and
f thcVspid vacillation in the regular moil** of doing
I business which cannot under sound v.ewaofpoli- j
. tics) economy, be too greatly deprecated, or tbeii .
) recurrence 100 carefully guarded against. These
r sudden ami great vibration* in the value of pro
( petty, labour and de'ilo, however produced, or
. however flattering to many at first, are in the end j
r dangertut to all clattee, at -well at ruinout to
. commerce and every tpeciet of regular indue
. try."
i Having thus briefly traced thcconse* of the
, expansion o) the currency, and its consequence
t overtrading; let u* next examine the cause* of
i contraction, and final explosion. Let me premise
however, onci-banking ami over trading muat cure
- themselves; and a revulsion must come sooner or
I later. Uut there may be cautri, which will ae
* celrrnlr and aggravate the miochiej, The
- Gold-bill, and I lire order requiring the French and
i Najiulitan indemnities lu Ue imported into this
t country in specie, may certainly be set down in
t t his class.
* The former by making gold the cheapest legal
r tender in this country, caused tho import to be in
i that metal, whenever after the passage of that
i. act, an import of the precious metals should bc-
I come necessary.
t Wlnle silver continued to be the cheapest me
■ dium to pay debts in (his country, an import did
if not derange the currency of any country with
i- which we were intimately connected. Our aup
t plies being generally drawn from Englund,as long
I* ss we continued to import silver only, it did not
- effect their currency, as silver is only an article
(i of merchandize in that country. But making
gold the cheapest tender,Valued gold to be im
y ported ; nnd a* the bank of England is the great
t est depot of gold in Europe, & being more re . -ly
a come at by exchange on London (bull any other,
if it is generally drawn front this source. Our
>. draft* of specie, therefore, after the passage of the
* gold bill struck immediately at the foundation of
s the British currency. And whenever hereafter
y the exchanges are in our favoi, and an import us
e specie takes place, it will behoove us to look out
/ for the recoil.
The import of 1835 and '3O, therefore by lire-
I action of the gold bill directly, by the order above
a referred to indirectly, wss almo-t entirely drawn
j. from the bank of England. The stale of ex
_ I change not indicating a cause for any drain
o. 1 ' specie the directors were puzzled for a time
( to account for it. As soon ns it was discovered,
however, the bank for its own solely was
compelled ter adopt a system of contraction,
especially with regard to American credits, in or
, dcr to reduce Em value of imports, create balan
, ces against this c. >u "try. turn the exchanges in
, favor of England, Jtn.d produce a return of the
specie. These precau'l 'U“ r y measure* of the

The communication which we commence to
day, has been on hand for sometime, but the
weakness of face in the office and a pressure of
other matters has prevented Us from giving it the
place which so well merits ill our columns.
, An Editorial article in (his inort.ing's Consti
, Uttionalist on the subject of the approaching clec-
I tiona deserves u more extended notice than wc
have time to giva it to-duy and wc must therefore
defer it until to-morrow
From all the information which vve have been
able to gather from different quarters of the state,
wc have the strongest reasons to believe the elec
tion of Mr. Gihner.if not morally certain,is at least
among the s’rongest us probabilities. But this
event, so desirable, will not lake place as a mere
mailer of course; uurcandidalo cannot be elected
if our friends suffer themselves to be surprised nnd
ovcrcHcbed by their own supineness & negligence
and Ibe greater industry and vigilance of our ad
versaries. Look at the columns us the presses of the
Van Huron parly. They teem with continued calls
totheii pnnizansto atousc and organize. Their
emissaries have been sent into every county in
the Stale, to urge out every voter, who will sus
tain their candidate—to confirm the waveting—
embolden the lukewarm, and, if possible, wrest
from us a victory which nothing but our own in
. dolunce can loose. They are touching every
chotd, pulling every wire, appealing to every pre
judice, enlisting every'sympathy, and, in a word,
they are "moving heaven, earth,’' and the Centra)
Hank, to secure the re-election of Gov. Schley.
The Federal Union, edited hy the Comptrol
ler General of the State, and the Standard of Un
ion, edited by the Treasurer of the Stale, and
backed by tho President of the Central Bank, are
in the very front rank of. our adversaries, bat
tling with desperation to maintain their places.
1 The feed officers of the Slate.the salaried servants
of the people, have set themselves up us political
1 teachers of the very people upon whose money
’ they live and fatten. This single and omnious fact
f should awake the slumbering jealousy .& alarm the
1 vigilance us a repaid can people. They are interes
ted in a personal and poruniaty point in the result
of the approaching election. Their own offices are
‘ dependent upon the issue, and it is not therefore,
■ surprising that they manifest so deep an anxiety
i in leading the people by' the nose—in deluding
1 them by false representations. It is not astonish
i ing that they cry out -'airs well.” “AH’s well”
■ with them so long as they can retain their places

I To our friends we say, be vigilant, watchful and
persevering. Ours is the cause of truth, justice
i and our country, against n party in whose hands

A .South sirs Medical Student. (
iron True chronicle and sentinel.)
Mr. Editor—When I wrote an exposition of j
the infamous conduct of the Insurance Hank of
Uolumbus, in refusing to pay her debts, when, as
she acknowledged, she is perfectly able to do so,
I calculated to be assailed by two classes of per
sons. First, those whose interest itmight Ire, and
secondly, those who might honestly differ with
me in opinion as to the right of a bank to refuse
payment whenever she deemed it expedient. A
writer in the Chronicle dc Sentinel, who signs
himself "Fair Play," has made a very unceremo.
nious, and, I think, unjustifiable attack upon me.
Which of the two classes he belongs to, lam not
prepared, at this lime, to determine, and shall no
tice him no further, at present, than to tell him,
whoever he may be, that I am writing over my
own proper signature, and shall not enter the lists
with one who will not do the same. It is an un
equal contest, and one in which I shall nut en
gage. When ho, or any other respectable indi
vidual, is prepared to come before the public, and
support the proposition that any Dank, with full
coffers, has a right (either moral or legal) to re
fuse to pay her debts pro.nptly, or that she has a
right to evade the payment by llije presentment of
an affidavit, nut known to the law, then will I
notice him and not before.
I wish it distinctly understood, that I am able
to distinguish between a bank that cannot pay
without great detriment to the community, and
one that wantonly refuses payment. The former
is entitled to the indulgence of its creditors, while
the latter is entitled to no quarter.
This is the only notice that I shall take of any
anonymous writer on the subject.
JOHN G. WINTER.
We had intended to say somethin' ourselves
of Woodworth. We ieserl the following, how
ever, as saying all we could have said, and saying
it infinitely better:
From the New York Mirror.
The poet Woodworth. —We unite with our
neighbors of the press in recommending the ben
efit proposed to be given to this fine poet and esti
mable man. We have known and esteemed Mr.
Woodworth from our earliest Iroyhood, and cheer
fully bear testimony to his great privateexcellencc.
i Ho has written much and written well. Home
of his poems, in our judgement, will bo coeval
with the language in which they were penned.—
Who is not familiar with his beautiful pastoral
ballad of the “Old Oaken Ducket?" and who
does not believe that it will last as long ns buck
els arc used, or continue to hang in the well?”
Wo have read all his productions, and read them
( with delight and profit. They breathe a strain of
euro morality and deep poetic feeling. There
is n little “Apologue” of his that is stumped upon
our me i.’tory ns one of the most rare and exquis
ite gems ever enriched our literature. We
would copy here, but that it has already ap
peared in Ihe V,7 ‘ror, together with most of his
other composition *• During the late war, Mr.
Woodworth wrote ini.'itmeruble songs, that were
sungevery were. The whole country was vocal
with them, and many who rPa( l B'* s paragraph
will recollect crossing the Easf r * vcr i f° r Brook
lyn Heights, with “pick-axe, sho ' atu ' spade,”
to the soul inspiring ditty oflhe“Palt.'O l ‘c Diggers.’
We were juvenile patriots ourselves in those stir
ring hours, and threw many a shovel-lull P* our
good mother earth upon the ramparts ot f°rt
Greene. At that lime Mr. Woodworth was *ho
editor and proprietor of a weekly paper, calleu
“The War,” which he conducted with marked
ability ; and all our victories on land and sea were
sung by his ever-roady and versatile muse, in its
columns. At the Conclusion of peace, “The
War” was terminated, and Mr. Woodworth turn
ed his attention to other pursuits ; and, in the
year 1823, in connexion with the writer of this
the Mirror was established. Mr. Woodworth
was its editor for twelve months, when he with ,
drew, of his own accord, and committed its death ,
nies to less competent but more indefatigable ,
hands. Since that period he has been a constant ,
contributor to its pages, and the most cordial feel- {
ings have been preserved between us, and will .
in all human probability, until the heart that die- ]
tales these periods is cold and forgotten. A se
vere calamity has recently befallen our friend. An
attack of apoplexy, teiminaling in paralysis, has ,
deprived him of the means of pursuing his usual |
avocations. Under these circumstances, it is,
proposed to give him a benefit at one of the thea
tres; and, if a long and diversified life of eminent
usefulness entitles any one to such a distinction,
Mr. Woodworth is the man. He is an Ameri
can, but it is not that; he is poor, and it is that
which should induce the citizens ofNe v York to
rentier this solid proof of their regard to one whose
public career has been as disinterested as his pri
vate life is bland and irreproachable. For our
own pan, we were weary of these benefits, and ,
for sundry reasons had resolved upon never hav
ing anything to do with another ; for our motives
have not unfrequenlly been misconstrued, and
our conduct misrepresented. But when a lienefil
for Mr. Witodwonh is proposed,we do a nnt hesitate
to lend whatever abilities we may happen to pus
boss, to bring it to a brilliant and profitable result.

Ranlett, of Boston, from Matanzas, for St; Peters

same day at anchor on tho Little llahanm Dank,
with only one man and a boy on board. He then
took command of her and arrived at this port

ExTiiAonniNAHT Surgical Operation. —
The Caledonia Mercury gives subaccount of an
operation never before performed in Great Britain,
Professor Lizars was the op -rator. The case was
what is technically railed aneurism of the übcla
vian arteiy, so near the heart, that the first large
trunk required to lie -lied, namely, the arleria
inuominata. The young man, a carter from
Dalkeith, was placed upon the table and the Pro
fessor commenced by making an incision in the
neck, and progressively eut down to the artery,
when the ligature was applied. The operation
was completely successful. The patient, who
bore it with uncommon foititude, was only on
the table for fifteen minutes altogether. This,
says the Mercury, is the first operation of the kind
which has been attempted in Great Britain. We

MONEY MARKET.
Fridav, Evening August 4.
The specie maiket presents an anomaly that is
inexplicable on the usual laws of trade. Whilst
thousands are daily going out of ilia country, we
see no dimintion in the supply. For the past six
years millions of metal have been brought to
these shores by emigrants, and not finding a pre
, mium, it went of course into the hiding places oi
the possessors. The suspension acted like a
magnet upon the accumulated mass ot hall a doz
' cn years. One per cent is enough at any time to
bring it forth from its concealment, but at 8 per
i cent, old stockings and broken teapots were foi
. ced to yield up their treasures without a murmur.
The holders did not see Ibal prices went up
immediately on the suspension equal to the de
' predation of pa per. This proves what we have
1 hitherto urged, that the people look on Bank
( notes as bona fide money, ami if they can get
SIOB in paper for SIOO silver, they consider the
eight dollars a dear gain.
1 The supply then from the cottages and ham
f lets of the farmers, mechanics and laborers has
[ been immense. But this is not the only source.
It may he safely estimated that the emigrants to
this country will average five sovereigns each.
' Taking the number of foreigners that arrived at
{ this port during July, at 10,000 —we have an in
-1 tlux of $250,000. Il is estimated that the receipts
r of specie on Wall street lor July exceeded $150,-
000 per day. The quarters whence this immense
L supply has been received may he staled thus:—
From the South and West, $1,500,000
/ From tlie North and Middle Stales, 1,300,000
From South America, Mexico and
West Indies, 800,000
From Emigrants, 250,000
S
$3,750,000
, Deduct the Exportations,estimated at 3,200,000
$550,000
r About $400,000 of this balance are deposited
in the Danks which which the Bullion Brokers
obtain loans fir their business. The rest is kept
floating in Wall streei.
.' T.ie reason why United Stales Bank stock has
, gone up so rapidly for the last few days, is that
j there are heavy huyeis in the market for reniit-
I lance to England. What will the silly enemies
of this institution say when they hear that or-
I ders have been received in this country from En
glish creditors to remit U. S. Dank slock instead
of specie? They will tear their hair and roll on
the ground in an agony of despair. We know of

about 200 bags Sumatra at 10 as, 4 mos. all lo the

SEW TORK COTTON MARKET, AUG. 3
The system of advances upon industry not yet <
created, or in futuro, was the great cause of the <
increase in production of the staple. This stim- '
ulus extended to all cotton growing countries, as 1
can be seen hy referring lo the Liverpool compar- J
■live tables. Under the present disturbed state of
the money market, the system cannot be revived
It is a question whether confidence Will ever grow
t»o Mm I jgjji. Wbuber lend «* then! What 1
will be our Re? The English manutaclurcr will '
perhaps be ab# to diag along a mere existence, j
while the Ameicin planter will be compelled to ,
dispose of bis sm.jus at a ruinous rate. In the (
course of another vat, more than 30 per cent of i
the capital now engaged in producing cotton wi I ■
be withdrawn from »a. o ut causes. Bankruptcy 1
will constitute the prinipal cause. Meantime, |
we as a people,will be ending the fruit* of Eng
lish labor at a diminished pice, though at the ex
pense ot the American inanuacturing interest.— i
The British master manulac.irer, to keep his I
mills in operation, will, as we hive often said be- 1
fore, ship his surplus to this cuunt-y to be sold for
cash, at auction. We will no longer enjoy the
credit derivable from the old bill system.
The fact is, We have grown mote cotton than
the world requires for consumption. Vt'e must
now curtail as the Banks dot Our returns, as
per table below, show a great reduction in toe
stack on hand. Prices are maintained at a saving
r ite to new buyers. Upwards of $50(000 arrived
from Europe a day or two ago, to seek investment
in cotton, at the present low rates. The great
inducement for buying at this time, is the gain
made by purchasing up Southern Bank paper.
The demand in this market has been fair to
day for home use and export, without variations,
from li.e rales quoted yesterday. Fully fair was
sold at 11 jc. Our classificat.on stands thus:

The Board is aware that it is too often the practice,
1 on such occasions, to praise indiscriminately the
1 conduct of pupils and instructors, yet, in this in
stance, deem it but justice to say,that they never
i witnessed un examination which afforded them more
unfeigned satisfaction, or one that reflected more
| credit, both on the pupils mid their instructress
r .’1 ’1 e young ladies w ere examined thoroughly in alt
I the different branches of education in which they
. had been engaged during the term, and evinced, by
r their prompt ami ready answers, iheir perfect knuwl
j edge of their studies. There was none of that tm
-8 phcil reliance merely upon the powers of memory,
, that usually characterize female examinations,
. though the young ladies frequently explained the
. principles of science in the author's ow n language,
and answered “ from the book.” yet their prompt
answers and explanations in their own language,
. clearly evinced that they had been taught «n
--dersluudmgly, and that the judgment had been
exercised as well as the memory. The Board be
• lievcs this plan to be the only rational one of tm

-1 liculurly un this plan, has succeeded admirably, and
