WASHINGTON, lOthSuly, 1931.
To my old friend Mr. Dtcipht, if the Mew
York Daily Advertiser.
1 am going to write to you on r matter that
is plagy deep and cute, and if I cant make
you understand it, I bun you in iy bo *yt«in I
dont understand it myuoll, and il licit is lie;
case, it wont be the first lime that a man lias
undertaken to explain a thing Hint ho makes
darker than it was afore. But I'll try it, and
if you doiit see it. I'll take my share of the
fault to explain it out, and you must lake toll*-
er share ami that will be about right.
Well now to begin—you know a good
deal lias been said of late, about paper money
and hard tnouoy, and sumo folks about “the
government” are trying to nmko it out tlmi
the Uliteral is going to make all the money
in the country hard money, and to got rid ul
paper money.
il folks dunl look well into this in alter, mid
‘understand what the nature on'l is, 0!) to UK)
on ’em will get puzzled most sliockin, and git
much dust thrown in their eyes, that it might
take a considerable work to explain & get mat
ters right again ; and I am go ng now to give
mv notions about it, and then let every mart
take his own course, and iflliings get crooked
I cant help it. 1 want, to see things go strait,
and that’s tho reason I write you this teller.
If this country was a small country, like
an island, whore a limn could cut his break
fast on one side ou't, ami walk across to the
‘Other side to eat his supper, I lion perhaps it
wniiid'nt be much out of the way to have all
the money in gold ami silver. Hot seein
that tin* is somethin of a considerable ol a
country, and a nun has to cal u good many
breakfasts mid suppers afore he gifs from one
aide on’l to the other, tl cn my notion is that
Mis nocorsary to look out and son if we cunt
our money from one pint in the other a
feetlo easier than carrying on't in hard money
—now let us suppose them ivariit a hank note
in the cuiiniry, and ail the money was hard
■money, and suppose yon wanted to liny MM)
bales ofootUw in Tennessee—wed 100 bales
of cotton would cost about four thousand
dollars nigh as 1 can kulkilale, and four thou
sand dollars in silver would weigh about ‘did
lbs. Now how would tie, ‘get (his money in the
elr:epe»t way from New York to Tennessee!
A horsu cant very wnl carry it, mid so the
only way is to hire a wagon—well now yon
have gut it to Tennessee, and after you have
bought UID cotton tho man you bought it ol
wants to buy goods with the money at the
■pluqu tbo goods arc the cheapest, and ten
to’olra hu finds New Verk is that place;
afld so hack ho sends these dollars to Now
York to buy goods.
Well the next time you want to buy cotton
you’ll begin In figure out how yon can save
tois expense and risk of sendin dollars, mid
you’ll find out that folks in Tetmegoj wont
■dollars in Now York, to buy goods jist uh
muck as yon want nm in Tunnussoo for their
cotton; and ifyou can put. your dollars in u
good safe place in New York, and take a re
sale for em, sayin that them arc dollars shall
be delivered up when that are resale is pro
•mited, then all you Imvu got to do is to car
ry that resale with you, or send it in a loiter,
and uecordm to the safety and security ami
jfood character oftho man who holds the dol
lars, ami gives that resale fur cm, jist so will
lit pass from land to hand, and bo jist as good
out llin dollars, and n luetic be/or, because it
is easier carried about than the dollars, mid at
less expense; audit is the nalur of onr peo
ple to do all kinds of business at tho least
expense possible, mid that's tho reason why
they go ahead of all the rest of creation.
Well then it this is so, as I have been icilin,
and it is as true us nalur, then onr folks would
mko hanks right oil) Without law, and with
out know'ni on’l, for every bit of hard mutiny
would go right into thu hands of folks known
to bo rich mid secure, and honest, or suppos
ed to bo so, and their resales for it would be
handed about jist us hank bills nro now, pro.
mist'* to "pay iliu bearer on demand,” ami so
we should have ns many uh era us wo have
bank bills now.
Our folks in Congress and in Legislatures
aaw tins a long spell ago, and they see from
tho very Mature ot things that business all
about the country would go right into that !
channel, and nothin could hcf|i r it, and they !
’went right to work to plan things so that the
•people should not he deceived in taking these
resales, for it would ho plagy hard fora man
to git one m pay fur his goods, and when he
called for the money, to git an answer saying
thu merchant or Broker could nut pay it, unu
that he was brake a 1 to bits and so forth.
And so the Legislatures of the Slates turned
Vo and made Hanks; that tr hey allowed a
good many folks to join together‘and have u
Hank with a good solid capita), and lo issue
their hills, to save the people the expense of
carrying the hard money about. And as
these Hanks bad a great capital, 'bey were al
lowed to lend their Hank hills to people who
wanted lo borrow money, and lo take the
people’s notes so ns to allow active Industri
ous folks to work along and git ahead in the
world; well th s »js found nidi a profitable
'business, the Slate Legislatures were overrun
with applications for Hank charters; and m n
little while (here was more banks than hard
dollars, and it got so (list the people warn!
safe in takin any of (he bills, ami there was
no way to put a* cn I to it till Congress took
tho right to “regulate the currency of the
country.” Jt Congress had said right oil
that all these hank notes warm money, and
nothin but hard money, was money,'there
would a hen trouble enuf—as bad as freein
tho niggars right off but they look on’t us an
evil to be cured jist like the bite of frost, and
that was by pullm frost to it; and so they
made a Bank, and toll’d (hat Hunk to go hi
work and clear outthisirash. The Hank of
Hie United Stales went to work, and itrler u
«pell it got things going pretty slick—As soon
as one of these Sum Banks attempted to
shore off more of its bills than it had power
to pay when the people brought cm hack—
and that is the nature of Hanks with small
capitals—the United Slates Bank would hr
fcavia its branches all about looking arler tins
Utck, pick up these hills from the people, and
mate the Stole Banks (*ay em mid if they
didn’t then they would hurst their biler. This
was lo be sure a pretty dirty job lor the United
Slates Bank to do, and they got hit pretty of.
len; but it wsa its duly by law for the law
eaid U. S, Bank must regulate the currency.
Thu State Bulks got into a pesky bad hu
mour about it, especially those that had no
capital, and who wanted to make money out
of the people by sending out tlieir bills that
they could not pay when called on, and so
they all got to work picken at the U. States
Bank, and called it a monster, and so forth
and then the politicians sot to work and that’s
the nater of them too, to get hold of any
thing to give cm a boost, and Nr. Van Ho
ren at the (lead on ’em all crym out again the
Untied Slates Bank, lor they sec that one
! Bank could stand no chance agin fw> many
Stale Banks—First they said tho U. Stale#
Bank warm safe, and got committees oppom
‘ I led to examine into it, and when it turned
out in was u leeilc safer than they said it was
' I and all the rest of 11.0 Banks put together,
. i then they changed tho.r tunc and got lo crym
[ I out that nothin but hard money was the right
|i kind ufrtnfl’ihinking that a good many pco
(1 |de Would ngruu with cm on this point, and I
j suppose they will—but'what is the iiilur on
. it! You see il we gel buck to hard money,
iijlks will go right tn rentier agin jests as 1 have
, been icilin; ami Congress will have to do
j something to correct it and regulate i‘> and
make it safe for the people.
But what lifts my danger considerable is
Jknowin that all thui liucamlOy sgni lira U.
_ j Stales Bunk (width has got thing* just »•
1 1 Congress wanted em to bo when tin; Hank
j was clmlcru’d nml a footle better than il ex
! pi’eted.) is not lo git nd of Hun « hut to gd
i this national Hank, tins rale People's Hank
r out ot the way, so as ty let the cruft of small
! onus gil fairly to work to pick tho people's
il I pocket. This is j**st ns true now, as I nm
1. 1 writm about il; and if folks don't sio liny
| j mcu’Ht bin mo mo.
. | Mr. Van fjuren knows th'sjost ns w<dl ns
s! he knows that he is utter the presidency, but
. I be is a krtowin critter, nnd he sec* that if lie
I Cant pit all Ihn Sisko Hunks mi Ins vide and
, agin United Hiatus Hunk, he'll count lip a
■ pretty considerable smr in voles; but ilro peo
ple went g.t ns much hard money liy it ns ho
I promises, unless ft is that kill I of money that
r will he plagy hard to git rid on.
Tin n again them's the farmer —they (ell
i h m hard Hi', tey is je,.i tho thing, and so ho
r think* too; undil he cun git a hard dollar (or
I a bushel of whea', instead of u paper dollar
he thinks il will t o a good change; but it he
I thinks n leetlo more üb<u%tlio matter, ho will
I find Unit thi'fo aint hard money enough in nil
creation for that and if \vn were In crime to
hard money,wliero he now g Is a good paper

two Kirillins in s Ivor,.because every thing
would take ns value by thu quantity of liurd
money. If lie turns this over a sped he’ll g,t
the dust out of his eyes In a mininl.
Then again a good do ll is said about g ddi
ond that Hie General will have gold money,
and lo do ibis, his folks in Congress passed a
law inakin gold more valuable, lint is, the
same weight of gold which by the old law was
a legal tender lor ten dul urs, n n i.v, lo be
worth ten dollars nml seventy cent*. V\ ell
Ibis is a pretiy mi l way of niutmgtn lliings,
and to km p gold in the country, and lo un
derstand it well, suppose the lav.' said a cop
per cent, which now takes one bun. 1 red on em
to iinikc li dollar, slionld lie mafic to go fifty
fora dollar. My notion is, wo should have
more coppers slliilitiii about than folks cared
10 he bothered with, and none would go out ot
the country nother. I don’t care nothin about
11 myself, hut I like to sue thing’s understood

I want for il; ami wo .have such kind of hank

(JEN. WAYNE—MAD ANTHONY,
Wo are indebted to un estimable citizen for
the following anecdote of one whoso name is
dent lo every Pennsylvanian. Wo do not re
member to have seen before an account of the or
igin of thu title of“. Mud Anthony,” bestowed
upon one who certainly had as much method us
any military commander.
7’a the editor;—- Enclosed is an extract from
I a late memoir of (Jen. Anthony Wayne, which
I I assigns the reason of that distinguished officer
having, among the soldiery oftho I’ennsy Ivanla
, line, tecuived the appellation of “Mad Anthony.”
A PENNSYLVANIAN.
tSays die General, in a postscript to u family
, letter, "Jemmy, the rover, alias the Uommodme,
■ has absented himself from this detachment oftho
army. lam convinced that whether in bis hours
j of sanity or insanity, ho would chceifully lay
j do vn bis Ife tor mo or any ul my family.”
1 “In all armies the soldiers delight in nick-nam
' dig their principal ollieers The extraordinary
person lo whom the general Ims reference, in the
I above postscript, gave existence to the cogno
■* I menWiio "Mad Anthony.” Jemmy the rover,
■ i whose teal name is not |oe»llecpid,was mi Hiker
' | oian mala regularly enlisted soldier in the Penn
c sylvania lino. Ho was subject to period,cal olio
i nation ol mind; in this stale he sometimes be
e j came very noisy and troublesome; on one of
ej those occasions he was ordered lo the guard
II j house—while the sergeant with a file of men
u ! was conducting him thither, Jemmy suddenly
d halted, uudasked the sergeant by w hose orders be
it was attested; by these of the Gener .l, was the
s reply; then forward, said the rover. In the course
k «f a few hours ho was released. In the act of
~ taking his departure, beasked tin sergeant wbelli-
I) cr Anthony, ibis being the only appellation be
q gave the General, was mail or in Jim, when he
placed him under arrest; not condescending to
„,j »>y under guard. The reply was, the General
■j has been much displeased uiib your disorderly
I ! conduct, and u repetition of it will be followed,
i not only by confinement, but Cweary nine, well
v ! laid on. Then exclaimed Jemmy, Anthony is
''l Kind; fan-well lo you—clear the coast for the
1 j Coiiniiodons wn./ Anthony’s friend.
1 This Jemmy, the rover, had method in Ids dc
-1 rungeuiellt. General Wayne, to whom he was
' most devotedly attached, frequently employed
r l him us a spy. While the American army lay at
"! Valley Forgo, he was repeatedly sent within the
1 British lines, and always returned with impor
' j taut information. 11 is said by those who are
■ yet living, and who well recollect the rover, that
I ho was a man of good education and e.vtrunrdi
’ gary shrewdness. 11l fact, it was much doubled
II wlu diet or not Jammy feigned derangcmein.

1 brought into the house, where his misfortune j

I to;” upon which the Yankee jnnmps upon ,

Mr. Ein to K —l paid a visit a few evenings
•incc, to Mr. Headden’a Rooms in ihc Masonic
Hall, where I was much pleased wilh several of
bis latest productions. Many of his portraits
were as readily recognized as if tho originals had
stood before met hut one portrait in particular
attracted my attention, as liclng a better represen
tation of reality than is often to be met with cren
in the galleries of the best artists. It was his
portrait of Ur. M. Antony. It will be romemtier
ed that at tbe close of the last session of the Me
dical College, the students then attending that in
stitution addressed a complimentary letter to Ur.
Antony, requesting him to set for his portrait, to
which request the Dr, consented. Accordingly,
the Committee engaged Mr. Wighlman, an artist
then in the city, to paint a portrait of Dr. Antony,
which portrait has lieen favorably spoken ol by
those who have seen it, anil which is now to he
seen in the hall of the College. Ml. Headdcn
was subsequently engaged to paint one for the
doctor himself, which is the portrait to which I
now refer.
The Doctor is represented, by Mr. Hodden, in
a standing [ tuition, resting his left elbow upon a
richly covered table, holding in his hand the char
ter of the College. His person stands out in bold
relief front a massive column in the rear, and on
his right extends a balustrade which opens upon
the street leading to the Medical College, which
edifice is seen in licauliful perspective. In short
the whole picture is most happily arranged and
richly finished in its execution; hut its intrinsic
value exists in (he admirable likeness, in which
not only a true delineation of the features is pre
served, but the very character and hearing of the
doctor arc portrayed to the life.
When it is remembered that Mr. Headdcn has
been brought up among us, without the advanta
ges of instruction and example, which are enjoy
ed by those of his profession whose contiguity to
tho academics, and association with the best
masters, have enabled them to bring out their best
talents, we are induced to claim fur him a place
among the brightest geniuses of his art.
I was not a little pleased with the spirited lit
tle sketch of his own features which he has rc
-1 cently attempted. lie docs not flatter himself—
• but I think if he can prevail upon himself to fa
> vor himself with another silling ot two, he will
- make a picture ofit. T.
The Suniist Kiot.— 't the request of the
1 Mayor, Mr. Parker, County Attorney, ami Mr.

assembled and the prisoners brought up ona
by one. They were thirty-four in nitmber

tto far as regards commercial affairs, they arc
decidedly loss unfavourable than was anticipa.
ted.—Tho arrival of this packet had been .ooked
for wilh tho greatest solicitude and apprehension.
Tho reality has happily fallen short of what was
feared.
Several failures of houses in Liverpool, con
■ neeted wilh America; had Occurred—but in no
1 instance, we believe, whore such an event had
1 not been expected; while one bouse of very cxlcn
1 sive engagements, and about which, at tho previ
ous dates, some alarm was fell, having received
■ large remittances from this side, and been other
-1 wise aided, would goon without pause.
1 The condition of the Rank of England seems
■ to us beyond any doubt. It will stand, come
• whirl may.
1 Wo re ter to the annexed article from the Lon
■ don Courier of 23d ult., (an authority w hich the
1 Globe quotes as the highest in Europe on tin,ra
cial matters,) as illustrating some of tho accusi
lions of that same organ of President Van Jlu
. ecu’s wishes and wisdom, about a combination
of tho Dunk ol the United Stales and the Rank
f of England aided by tllo merchants in New
York, to bring about a suspension of specie pay
ments here, in order to benefit foreign creditors,
and especially the Rank of England. “ Howev
er absurdly,” us the Courier says, “ such an accu
sation might sound it has yet been made, and
' daily repeated for weeks, by tho organ of the
’ Executive Government ol these United Slates”.'
1 [From the London Courier of22dMay.J
I “It is true, as staled by some of out conlempora
. ries, that the Rank ot the United Stales has de
] dined to open a credit with the Rank ol England
for tho use of the American merchants, on the
terms purposed by the Rank of England. Rut
. it is farther true that tho declinature is not de
j linitive, hut only for the persent ; and it is most
likely that some arrangement of the kind pro
‘ posed will still he come to. We believe that tho
. Rank of the United States felt itself no indis
- position to tho terms proposed by the Rank of
England, with respect to tho payment of a por
tion of the credit in specie, &e. Rut she Was
afraid, and justly, perhaps, thn: if she subscribed,
in the existing state of things, to any such con
dition, she would bo accused, how absurdly so-
I ever, of playing into tho hands of the Bank of
. England, and might, by shipping specie, have
provoked a run on the Ranks. We regret the
circumstance; because the anangement, had it
i been gone into, Would have been of considerable
. advantage to tho commerce of both countries;
I but we never, were sanguine as to its sucoes. On
tho contrary our readers will probably recollect
1 that on various occasions we have endeavored to
show how little probability there was of our ge(-
; ling bullion from America, and that it was to the
continent, and to tho continent only, that we
, should look for the supply of the Rank’s coffers.
Neither is it at all neccssaay to the adjustment of
the transactions between the two countries that
the United Stales should send us sixpence worth
of bullion. The immediate cause of the panic in
that country is, first, tho failures in the South,
caused principally by the heavy fail in cotton;
and, second, the expected failure of most of the
great American houses on this side the water.
1 But, according as information reached America
of the liberal and judicious measures adapted by.
the Rank of England for obviating the latter
source of alarm, confidence would begin to bo
restored; and the merchants and bankers of New
York and other great towns would no longer be
distracted ami paralyzed by the apprehension oi
having, in addition to their own obligations, to
provide for the payment of several millions of
returned bills. No doubt, therefore, we shall in
a short wlulc hear of tho abatement of the tem
pest in the United Slates. In the meantime, all
importation into the Stales Irom Europe may be
said to be completely at an end, while every thing
is lieing stopped from them, for which any mar
ket can bo lound here orelscwhere. Some of the
Banks are actually shipping cotton; and when we
lake into view that the exports of America to Eu
ropejouly amount to about 16,000.000/. steilinga
year, and tire imports to rather more, it is easy
to see w tal an immense capacity ot payment
she will provide for herself by keeping up her ex
ports to us high and reducing her imports to as
low a level as possible. The Americans will by
this means accumulate a fund most likely of
10,00U,000/., but certainly 0f8,000,000/., in Eu
rope for the cancelling pf their debt; they will
in this way be able to get rid of them, indepen
dently altogether of resource ot bonds, of
which, however, they will not be slow to avail
thcgiselves.
It is true that the stoppage of imports into the
i United States involves our manufactures in scri
. ocs difficulties. Rut commerce is reciprocal, and
I tho United Stales will lose quite as much by the
stoppage in question as wo shall do, and we be
-1 leive a good deal more. We do not undervalue
i the American market; butnoilhcr should the Arner
i icons undervalue the market of England; and
they may he quite sure that so long as the cotton
manufacture of ibis country is depressed, so long
I will their staple article, that is so long will raw
; cotton he little belter than a drug. The propo
i sal of the Rank of England to tho Bank of the
United States, had for its olijectto facilialo the
revival of that commerce which is for the equal
: advantage of both countries. The Rank of En
gland can recover any amount of bullion she
i pleases by narrowing her issues; but the Atncri
. cans mistake if they suppose they will not feel
this sort of action. Where are tho immense
shipments of cotton to he disposed of but in En
• gland I And will not the price of cotton sink
t still lower should tho Rank find it expedient
t materially to reduce her paper afloat.
B Since we are treating cf such subjects we may
perhaps, be excused for alluding to a paragraph
that appeared in yesterdays Observer, purporting
' to be from a high American functionary in this
- country. Wo are reluctant, however, to suppose
_ that it can he genuine; but if suehshould unfortu
nately he thu ease, then wo take leave to say
that it is an extraordinary production to proceed
I from such a quarter. There is no deadly strug
gle, no guerre a mart between tho Rank of
England and the banks of the United States; on
a the contrary, the interests of both are identical,
'. and the most perfect friendship has always sub
° sisted between them. There may he, and wo
t believe there is, a hitler struggle between the
a Government or parly that sent the reputed writer
! of the letter to this country, and tho Rank of the
< United States, in which tho former has cut a
i most miserable figure; but there is no room or
- ground whatever for the statement that any slrug
-8 gle exists between the hanks of the United Stales
- and any institutions iu this country.
1 Neither is there so much as die shadow of a
• foundation for the statement that the Rank of En-
I gland will have to suspend payments, unless, for
! sooth, she can get gold from America 1 The
J Rank of England would stand ciect though the
United Slates were to sink into tho ocean; and
whenever she pleases, she has it in her power to
' determine an influx of bullion into Iter coffers.
■ Wo bog also to in form the writer of the letter
5 that the Rank of England, by coming forward to
the assistance of the embarrassed Ainetican hou
ses, and preventing tho return of several millions
’ of bills upon America, has conferred quite os
great an advantage upon the merchants of tho
United Stales as on those of England. There
are other tilings in lire letter still tnoro extraor
dinary. Our embarrassments, it seems, should
be increased as much ns possible, and brought to
a crisis ; ami for what I for the advantage of the
United States 1 No ! but that certain political
changes may take place in England 1 This sort
’ of underhand agency, this employment of certain
evil to elicit uncertain good, may do in Carolina
or Kentucky, but it will not go down here. If a
high public functionary will degrade himself by
e writing such letters, he ought at least to be carc
a ful to whom he sends them, Wo are greatly
mistaken if they he much more esteemed in
~ America than here.”
( With regard to the latter part of this article. We
n should add that it refers to a statement published
I in a Sunday paper of this city, which was copied
without dissent by tho Albany Argus and tho
’ Richmond Enquirer, purporting to present the
r arguments upon which Mr. Attorney General
j Hu tier resisted the repeal of the Specie Circular.
Among these was one drawn from certain facts,
said to bo derived from letters written by Mr.
Stevenson, tho American Minister in London—
to the effect, that the Rank of England was hos
tile to American credit—that therefore, little con
. s’lleration was duo from this country to it—that
t if it could' not derive bullion from here, it must
suspcnJ specie payments—and that such stlspen
j sion was tire whole rather to ho desired, as
. tending to a gc’d political effect, both in Eng
-1 land and in thiscruntry,
. We Jo not pretend to give tho words of this
s publication, but this wag, wc think, its substan
tial import.
Wo looked upon it at tiro lime as not authen
tic, and therefore did not republish, or quote it.
I Subsequently, however, when we raw it repub
lished in the Argus and the Richmond Enquirer,
■ our doubts were somewhat shaken; yt‘. even
then, as it was not vouched for, and not disc.edi
• ted, by those papers, wo concluded that, possibly
—inasmuch as tho language thus imputed to the
i Attorney General and to the Minister in London,
i fell in with the shins' of the parly, and was about
upon a level with the capacity alike of these func
tionaries and of their supporters,—those papers
i were content to run the risk of seeing the state
■ irienl Contradicted, for the temporary benefit to he
■ derived from such doctrines promulgated under
■ the authority of such names.
i The thing however is now brought to issue—
for, by the annexed paragraph from the Times
oft.to 23d, it will he seen that Mr. Stevenson de
ntes the part assigned to him if this matter.
“A paragraph quoted from tho New York Sun
day -Morning News appeared in the Observer
ol Sunday last, accompanied by somevery absurd
observations. The paragraph represented that,
the American Minister in London and the Ameri
can Consul at Liverpool had made to their Go
vernment certain tepresemetions relative to the
political and financial state of England. It is
equally unnecessary to describe tho nature of these
representations, and to notice tho comments made
upon them in the Obsei~ven, for we arc author
ized to state that neither the American Minister
nor the Consul ever made any such representa
tions or any representations like to them,”
It remains to ho seen how the Sundoy News,
the Argus, the Richmond Enquirer, ami Mr.
Butler, will extricate themselves.
Poor Mr. Stevenson makes a sad figure in all
these matters. Sometimes prompted by good in
fluences to act and talk ns minister of his whole
country, and then again crouching like a born
thrall to the vulgar and brntal tyranny of the
Globe; equivocating, explaining, and humbly
suing. His place is no sinecure.
I'bc cotton market, after having fallen from j
to id during tho week ending on Saturday, 20lh
May, rallied in tho beginning of the next week,
and was id better. From Havre 100 wc learn
that the arrangement in previous contemplation,
for an advance tronr lire bankers of Paris, on a
pledge of cotton, was completed, and that ten
millions of francs, equal to two millions of dol
lars, were to be thus appropriated for the relief
of the holders of cotton in Havre.
He heat, moreover, very directly, that a letter
written from Livcr|mol at 13 o’clock On the 24th,
(the day of sailing of the packet,) states that in
formation had been received by express from Lon
don that the Bank of England would continue to
uphold the American houses.
U. S. Post Notes are quoted on tho 22nd at D 4
ito id. Morris Canal Bonds at 98 to 09.
Upon the whole we conclude as we began these
remarks, that there is far less of discoutaging in
(hem expected.

The Paria Bankers have consented lo a loan
of ten millions to ihe merchants olrHavre.on the
sccuiity of cotlon, at a low price ; hut this has
not put a slop lo the protest of bills, which aniv
eel to a large amount by every packet from New

If the American houses in London, now sup
ported by the Bank ofEngland, should go by the
i board, it will go hatd with those in Paris, who
, have executed commissions to a large amount,
taking reimbursements on them.
Commercial embarrassment seems to have fal
len like an avalanche over our country. One
■ common ruin appears to threaten town and coun
i try, but seeing what was going on here for some
time past, it is not more than I expected.
With few exceptions, the houses here engaged

some heavily; but so far, no failure has taken
place. This may be accounted for by the precati

This is the anniversary of the Princess Victo

DANGEROUS ILLNESS OF THE KING
The King had a very severe attack of asthma,
on Sunday, which prevented his usual attend
ance at church. It now is reported, all hut offi
cially, that he cannot attend in London, this day,
lo preside at the grand dinner in honor of the
Princess Victoiia. Sir Henry Halford has been
in constant attendance, and bets on the Stock
Exchange, Monday, were heavy as lo the chan
ces es his recovery. Betting on mortality. The
report by this morning’s paper is, “His Majesty is
belter.” The Queen’s health is slowly mending.
She had, it seemed, placed herself under some
llotu'Oßpalhic quack, who nearly killed her.
I am sorry to say that things are growing worse
in Liverpool. The great house of Roskel), Og
den & Go. suspended payments on Wednesday,
and the North American (which arrived that
: night after alO days voyage) brought them the
> means of resuming business. They are a most
- respectable firm, and their mere suspension car
• ries dismay into the hearts of the cou.mcrcialists
here.
I The result is that almost every one is paralys
• cd, trade is dull, and credit at an ebb. In thb va
-1 rious trading towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire,
r the result is the same. We have dreadful ac
, counts from each place, and failures are taking
- place almost daily.
> There is no use in concealing the fact that
0 American Credit is at its lowest here. Tlief word
r m every one’s mouth is, “The Americans mean
a lo pay us off by a general insolvency.” Mean*
1 while the merchants of Liverpool and London,
r the manufacturers of Manchester, Leeds, Shcf
- field, Nottingham, Leicester, Ac. positively de
a cline making consignments with such a scanly
chance of payment, and henceyou will,this firll&
1 next spring, run the chance of being with only a
■ tnlle of English manufactured produce. As an
■ instance of the extreme doubt in which even
3 good American paper is viewed, I will stale an
c instance which occurred to myself this week. A
I friend in Now York, unable lo procure a Bank of
> England note for jGS, sent me $25 of the United
States Bank paper, for which, last year, four
r shillings per dollar would bo readily given at any
’ exchange office. As I had to pay the money for
■ my friend, I sent lo have it cashed, and was offer
• cd £4 at one place, and X47s at another for what
s used to pass for £5. Yet United States Bank
0 paper is not badly thought of here.
3 We ate in daily expectation of a change of
■ Ministry. Earl Grey and the Duke of Richmond
■ have been closeted with the King, and the former
II is said to ho anxious to resume office as Premier,
c The Whigs are afraid that Lord Durham, who Is
‘ returning from Russia, will divide the radical
1 Whig union, and have a trial of his,own strength
11 against them. Brougham has written lo some
• friends here to say that ho will soon be in office
1 again. The Conservatives appear equally sure
y ofa break up in the Ministry.
The King is said to have declined giving hrs
f consent for a dissolution of Parliament; His
1 words arc even imported thus, “My Lord Mel
bourne, if you cannot go on with the Parliament,
s f think you must go off.”
