The currency of i the Government w as the first tbingto feel the j shock. Those who had something to sc-11 shut up j shop, or hid their goods and wares out of sight. : The effect of this check upon tb« circulation of tiie only currency we had amongst us, was to stop almost every kind of business usually carried on. The people from busy and Lard-workers in the hive have become drones, and idiers. The streets are •full of people every day, whose only occupation appears to be to talk, smoko, (there, is , nothing to drink) and while away tie time. This state of things must continue until oiuer can be restored ar.d the channels of business cleared out. and trade and the currency be re-established. How long this will be- depends oil those into whose hands 'our Military Chieftains have placed our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. One great evil of the present stagnation in bu- j sinessand trade.and the absence of a currency ad-: equate to the wants of the people, is, that those j who are not producers or speculators can get noth- j ing to eat. We have not seen a niar^t cart ju the j city since it was understood that Gen Lee s army j had been surrendered. Those who have provis- j ions do not seem disposed to sell or barter. Every body and every body’s wife seems to be in onegraud quandary, and waiting for something to turn up. Even the 2,40 Speculator, who never let the grass grow under his feet, is leaning against the lamp post, or loafing about the corners. “Re]i->.ble”,tJ e swiftest feather that cuts the air, can find nothing to do—his occupation, too, seems to be gone.

That i he had no desire or intention to interfere with private , property, Jmt on the contrary would do all in his pow. er to give it security. That with, regard to slavery, that had to fie abolished ; fcnt that as it would be un- j wise , ns a mere matter of Political Economy, to shock ! suddenly the question of labor in tlw?

I make this allusion not to excite the already exasperated fueling of the public, but to point out tho principles of public justice which should guide our action at this particular junctnre, and which accord with public morals.

Of one of the companies Queen Elizabeth, and probably nil bet ministers, were members, and derived heavy profits from the traffic.
