This Currency Issukd.— Under four acts of Congress about one thousand one hundred and twenty millions of currency of various kinds have been issued, of which nearly five hundred millions have been withdrawn, leaving only six hundred and twenty-six millions afloat on the Ist December last. But of this six hundred and twenty-six millions, only the four hundred and twenty-six millions of greenbacks, the Financial Chronicle argues, are nQW efficient paper mouey, as the remainder are interest bearing notes, and have ceased to exercise most of the functions as active currency. It is also held that but little new legislation is necessary to contract ihe currency, as the act of June 30, IBu4, gives the Secretary of the Treasury power to convert at his discretion the whole mass of greenbacks into compound interest notes, with a view to convenience in funding.

The officer held high rank, and in order to alleviate as fur as possible the effect of the message, the Emperor sent him one of his own swords, set wi'h diamonds, and selected his prime minister as bearer. The officer received the present, and was well aware of what it signified. After reverent Ly regarding the instrument of his punishment, lie quietly left his house, went to the part, got on board a French ship bound for Havre, and safely reached Paris, where he sold the sabre for one hundred and twenty t‘ ousaud francs.
