THE DAILY KVBfciKC TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER C, 1806. BANK RES EH VES. JYom (A IKtion AdvtriUtr.

But it is no less clear that the proposed remeily vould merely ag:raa'e the disease, la tha first place, there aie always natural ciujoj without which met) operations could not 03 successfully carried out. ir mmey were relly buLdaut, no guug of couspiraiuri cojld loci up enough ot ii to mt riallj distress the puo lic At the present time, au uujsu.IIj rte part or fie money capi at ot the country anpears to te absorbed in a de erate attempt to hold an euotmous bqiouuc oi DretdstutT at unnaturally fclgb. pr cep. loo resources ot Western bank and capitalist4, and their credit at the East, are doubtless stismed to the utmost In this ( vo trurt) tutile uudeitaktng. Mot only Ea.torn capital, but buk credit, has doib'.los beeu ire?std into the service, aud the lutier has been in many cases expanded beyond all ea'e or reasonable bounds. The btogs have sroae on lendme not money but their owu cre.iit, uutil at last they can batdly meet their on lisbi'ities from duy to day, much, lens come to the relief Of borrowers, Tbe report of October 17 shows that tbe yew Toik banks, with an aggregate capital of about $83 600,000, hal Immediate liabilities ot afom $'223,000,000, of which (189,000,000 were deposits. 'To meet these they Ladles tDun $j'.),0U0.ul)J la legal-tender notes tml about $J. 000,000 of , apecie. The two together show asurolasof About (12,000,000 above the strict requirement, ot IheUw; but, as the specie can only be re- aioed as a special deposit, tbe true statement would be $214,000,000 ol liabilities and $59,000,000 of legal-tender reserve, or au appmnt surplus of five and a bait million, but as probably fume $25,000,000 of this reserve consisted ot three ptr cent, certificate, which cannot be paid out to the pub ic, the actual available amount ot legal-tendtr was probably less than $35,000,000, or not seventeen per cent, of the iuioiediuie liabilities of tbe banks and not twenty per cent, of tbe deposits alone. Yet many of these deposits include the chief reserve of "lawful money" held, or supposed to be held, by multitudes of banks In other parts ot the ccuutry; so that tiiU paltry hoard of thirty or tbirty-tive millions comprises per lisps nearly oue-uulf ot all toe actual basis by 'Which nearly nine hundred millions of "money" la made good. But this Is not all ror oue-balf the truth. The ageiegate le.-erve, ins'iKuiueaut as It is, is only mate tolersbie by averaging bud and good toucher. It teems indeed almost incredible to wbatan extent many banks have loaned the money of their depositors, and bow small are tbeir means of immediate lepavtnent. Tue Greenwich Bitik, for instance, with a capital of $200,000, had loaned $1 100,001; and to repay deposits of above $800,000 it bad a reserve of $140,000. The City Dank had loaned abjve loir times its capital, and bad only $ J 10,000 of papir reserve to meet depots ot above $2.81)0,000. Tne people's bank loau was three and a half times its capital, aud with a paper reeerve ot less tiiaa $200,000 to meet deposits of $1,200,000. The Park Bank has loaned gevt-n aud a half times its capital, so that a dep.-eciaion of less than one-tevciith in tbe vaiue of its Joao would weep its capital away. Bat the climax is furnished by the ''Bull's Head" Bank, with a capital of $200,000, a loan of above $1,700,000, depo.-its of nearly $1,900,000, and no reserve at all reported. There are other loans ot four, five, aud six times tbe capital of tbe bank, aud tne averase is more tnau three times. Wnn the days of our present paper delusion are over, -will it be ctedited that such things were done and were tolerated? Horn, with this uIro pressure of expansion upon our monetary institutions, is it surprising that "corners" are bo frequent and so latal ? Can we wonder that banks, habitually owing Irom tro to eight times their cipltal, should be poweiless to help others, ani in constant alarm lor themselves t And are we to be told that the proper remedy for tuis state of things is to alio w them to break down the last teeble barrier which still ttanda between them and inaolveucy? Uo, tbe remeay lies iu an exactly opposite direction. There are conservative banks in New York, though comparatively tew even of ttie-e sesin to maintain a reserve much beyond the legal minimum. But there is one brilliant exception, to which our attention is nowdnecied lor tbe first time. Tbe Bank ot Commerce aas a cao tal ot $10,000,000 and a loan oi about $24,000,000. Its circulation and depo.-its are about $12,000, 000, of which some $500,000 are offset by an equal amount of specie; and to meet the re maining $11,600,010, it holds a lsiial-tender reserve of above $6,700,000, or above 53 per cent. One-bait of tais amount might belianed, and still leave this bank srronger than almost any other iu tbe city. If all the others were cquslly iortioed, tbe agerega'.e legal-tender reserve would be $125,100,000, aud no possibility of an artlbcial scarcity could exist. ' That this bank, with such a loan, can main ta n such merves, Is due to the fact that it has never distributed amoug its stockholders tbe exceptional profits of recent years, but has Wisely heid them in reserve, alter dividing ten per rent, per annum, o tbat its available capi tal has beeu in tact greatly augmented. Uiber banks may have douo the same; out they have ot, I ke ibis one, employed their surplus to protect the public, but only to swell tbeir already exiravsgsnt dividends, or to gratify a taste for nn warrantable expenditure. A day of reckoning will come when they may wish they Bad pursued a ditterent course. The bearing of these facta upon the resump tion of specie payments Is obvious. If there is any truth in political eoouoroy and in the les sons of experience, tbis resumption cannot be acccimplibbed aud maintained without dimin ishing the aggregate liabilities of our banks by at least ore-lourto, probably one-third, perhaps n ore. Bat how many of tbe banks in Mew York copid bear that diminution? One, and one only, could do so, and still rettm a surplus atovc its Irani reserve. It' tbe United States treasury could bave resumed specie payment on the 17tb Instant, the Bank of Commerce could have done tbe fame, b probably not another bank in tbe country could have saiely followed lis example. If, tbere'ore, otr banks wlh to discourage unprincipled speculation, to bring gamble's to frief. and to aid tbe Uovernmeut in redeeming is dishonored obligations ana restoring a sound ataodnrd of value, they have only to follow this now exceptional exaaiole.snd to curtail steadily and resolutely tbat mischievous expansion of tueircreau wlicu nas wrought such incalcula ble mischief to tbe Deonle. while it has nllfd tlieit own vaults and tbe pockets of their tocKUMdera with (totay tue least) very ques tionable ina. Tlmotby Tltbainb (lr. Holland) Gives a rictuns Mr. fcipurgcon. The rnsh to Mr. trgeon's oharoh Is bo great that I took an ean7 Btart, on a bright Sunday morning, in order w b8 served among me nrat Btrangerg, u possible. On llh:tn at the door of the chnroh, instesA 0f being bilged to wait, I was met by some oflar 0f tbe place and day, who inquired whetu,, j would like to go directly into tha chnroh ana wait my chance there. Responding in the affirmative to his polite proposition, he led the way, at the same time patting into my hand a slip of paper which he begged aoe to read. It was request for a .entribation to Mr. Bpargeon'a lostlta Utu tot the education ef vhrgjwu. It was a very teat business "transaction one for which the praotical and basineslike Mr. Bpnrgeon is jnstly celebrated. It was as muob. as to say: "I have taken yon out of the. sun and given yon a good chanoe for a good seat; now, if this amounts to anythiug to you, state the sum In silver or gold in the contribution box." I stated it, and took a seat in a sort of elevated waiting-sund, near the entranoe. The offloer told a gentleman that some "American friends" would like seats; and we myself and party were soon invited for ward, and seated in some of the bsst pews in the honse. Mr. Spnrgeon's chnroh is a very large and well-contrived house, capable of holding a larger congregation, I Jndge, than that of Mr. Beether, in l$rooklyn- Indeed, it id claimed that it affords comfortable Bitting to Ave thousand persons. There were not more than five hundred people in the church whn I entered, but they came pouring in from that time forward, until every part of the building was crowded. The interior is oval, tbe plat form pulpit standing out from one extremity, And permitting the Beats to sweep entirely aronnd, an arrangement which gives a pretty good-sized audience only the chance of seeing tbe back side of the speaker's head. The fersoual appearance of the great preacher has become SO familiar to Americans, through fngravings and the descriptions of letter-writers, that I need not say more than hat he impressed me, as he stepped qnietly npon the stand, as a hearty, healthy, powerful man. Alter giving out a hymu, aud begging tbe congregation not to sing it too slowly, he cined with them in the masio. Then he read a telegram he had just received from some difetaut patt of the kingdom, from a man who was dying, and who found himself, in a dark hour, unBUStained by the Christian's hope. His prayer for this stranger was oue of the most touching things I ever heard. Indeed, the whole prayer, of which this formed au episode, was marked with greater fervor, thorough spirituality, and a flow and a com mand of language which much surpassed my expectations. When he finished his preaohing, I was not left at a loss to understand the seoret of his power, lie is a good man, a EtroDg man, thoroughly iu earnest. There were passages in his sermon, not a few, which reminded me of Beeoher. The same directness, the same bursts of grand aud sweeping power, the same felicities of diction, which distinguish the performance of the American preacher were scattered through the sermon. Mr. Spurgeon's vocabulary is not BO large as that of Mr. Beeoher. lie is not so completely en rapptrt with the world of nature, and his fancy and imagination are not so active; but he is dramatic, understands human nature, believes in Christianity (a good thing in a preacher), knows exactly what he wants to do, and drives straight forward to the end he seeks. 1 do not know that Mr. Spurgeon is Mr. Beeoher's superior in anything, except it may be as a business man. His faculty of organization of so set ting other people to work as to multiply his own personal power athousaud fold must distinguish him, in the results of his life, from Mr. Beecber. Air. spurgeon is doing by organization and institution what Mr. Beeoher does by personal magnetism; Mr. Beeoher inspires other clergymen; Mr. Spnrgeon edu cates them, and so builds and shapes the policy of institutions that he will be produoing preachers after his own kind long after he has passed away. The spirit of the man is kindly. Ills manner towards his people is familiar and fatherly. Like the Brooklyn preacher, too, he is not without his dash of humor. In short, I left his presence, at last, with a good taste in my mouth, and the firmest wish in my heart that the Lord would send into the world, and set to work, ten thousand just such sensational faaatics as Mr. fcpurgeon. An Aualjsfs of the Avon-ion Obtaining to fcccond marriages. JVom the London Leader. The sentiment of lbs Age is, not without rea son, opposed to second manages. If matrt monv were essentially the eocip! partnership which tome philosophers would tain make it if it were sin p'y a lorm ot covenant Din a i tig tne parties to love, honor, and obey, till divorce do part them-if it were modelled on the plau of that reformer who wanted to add as a proviso to tbe l'raer Book vow. "so long as we both shall love" there would be no reasonable ob jection to entering into a second, third, lourth, or nttu partnersuip ou me came tmsiic iooc me. cuch a dispensation, maeea, wouia rea lize the view ot the late Adah Menken, thtt ' it is well to marry young and often. " Bit, unfor tunately for the reformers and the philosophers, and all the nice theorists, male and female, phi lanthropic, frec-lovine, and strong-minded, society pirsUts in regarding marriage as a much more solcmu aud spiritual coutfact than this. Much as it may vex the clear-seeing intellect of a Brudlaugu, society insists upon importing the providential element Into ibe business, aud making Heaven a witness of a contract voluntarily eutered into (or eternity. Perhaps society is very wrong for all this wrong in poing to church at all extremely wrong to subscribe to that palaver about lor caking all others, and cleaving ouly unto him or her, as the case may be. No doubt they order thete things better in France, where the legal ceremony is the principal oue, with church blessings thrown in ad valorem. It we coald only get married quietly anl wilhout luss, as tbey do in the opera, where an ardent basso drags an unwilling toprauo to a side-table, and is on the point ot consummating tbe business with the aid of un Ho'ario aud a pad of blotting- Saper, the social economist would rejoice, leanwhlle, however, society goes on getting matried'ai the Eugle, aud riveted at tbe Com munion Table, ai d accepting a blessing from a pose ot persons oue asaUtiug the other, with a chorul force w ell up in "The voice tLat breatbrd through Hden, That earliest wedding day," and tbe oraan played out the pair to Mendels sohn's VVedd.ng Match, aud all the ecclesiastical I aaeantry complete. It is baid, atler all this, to attenipt to dissociate tbe religious irom the purely social nature of tbe proceeding. Let the bridegroom. If he be given to philosophical in quiry, try to dissociate them in his wife's pie eeuce. Let him begin by observing, '"After all, my dear, we are not married in the sight of Heaven, aad all that; it's only a facon de par r; we have Eiraply entered Into a tort ot partner ship, you know like my association with old Jones iu tbe office." Let bim atieaapt tbis vein of mciaiuintt, and from his wire's reply be will be able to estimate the rooted leeling oi society in the matttr. This, then, is tho spirit which dictates tbat seniioieutsl aversion to second marriages, which is not the less general in thatit Is seldom put into words. Matrimony oeiog, from tbe senumenlal point of view, a holy business, a bond which w not only to regulite tuts life, but in all likelihood to exercise an Influence over the lite to come, tbe incongruity, tbe indecency nay, the very sacrilege oi admittiug into tbe spuitual compact more than one partner is sufficiently ooviousl It savors of psjcbical polygamy. "I take Beatrice," says Benedick, "as the one participant in my weal or woe; 1 tuke her for tune and tor eternity." But in a j ear or two Beatrice dies, aud then Benedick chooses Laura as the one participant for tia.c aud eternity; and if he survives Laura there is nothing to prevent him adding a tnird and lourth to tbe firm. Now, at eaci new betrotumeot the sanctity of the business falls a peg. Nobody enters a second marriage with tbe same reverence, or earnestness, or ardor, with which be contracted tbe nrst. lie is older tid colder; familiarity with tbe estate has bred ludiflcreccf ; tbe being at his side is not a trembling, pure little soul whom all his strong chivalrous nature rushes forth to protect, but a nice sort of person, who ts going to look alter his servants and see tbat bis linen is kept in good order. Bven with the first wilt romance vuded by settling down.in.to Harb and Joan Jos-trot fort of existence: with the second one there Is not even tbe romance to begin with. For lew men so few s to be o it of court make a love-maten twice In tbeir lives. Tbe tint mnrrloite is contracted In the ardor of youtti: tbe second Is mostly a calcula tion. Hither toe wldoivcr is weary of so Itude, and has been bab tualed to the bousokolJ order over which a mistress pres dej; or be sees tne chaure of a Wealthy alliance: or he bas property, but no heir, and must neeJs bave one; or be wants somebody to l"ok after his little com forts. There are a hundred mercenary pleas for a second marriane to one pte of atrestiou. True love we mean, now, true love In Its Aiming bachelor state, nit the Darby and Joan jog-tiot sel.iom survive! in a man after thirty. The truest, fsitnfullst, hottest, and most blisstclly oacomfortab e love of all is calf-love, wbtcb seMi.ni lasts niter seveutren. Ail subsequent pass ons are a nnre imitation ot tlds not nail so ab-orbintr, not a third so olind. not a tettii fo pure. Tbe call outlives Its calldom, gets the better of soooriness, laughs at it, and a tew years la'er tries to produce It over aentn. But be never succeed'. Tbe taurine passions are a mere stag"? play. He may per suade timsell tbat he is depcra'ely In love with the dear girl, tbat she is an ansel, that if she jilted bini be would do some1 lung desperate ro mail, emigrate, o'ow out dh ormns, perhaps; but fn his Inter soul he knows tnat tbis is all a mere pretense: that Ins beau is not as a repinir furnace, but tepid as mildest shaving water; tbat bis pulse would not bear her aud beat bad be lam lor a century d. -ad Indeed, it docs not even quicken low when sbe enters (lie room. He sees her faults uoue clearer; and be intends ti com ct them one day. There ts nothing in bis love like the wild adoung passion of tbe schoolboy tbat coines bat once in life, and tbe love wblch Is bold enough to pro-pot-e and callous enough to treat of settlements Is a mere enrtbly imitation of It. Hovoi icb baser, then, a second marr.asc.'wbicU means a fit tuth love 1 It In o lbs first theie entered some element or caution, or more Un-iblo shrewdness, the second is whoMv compounded of these, and of a selfishness which is parent of tnem. Toe motives which lea i a bachelor to propose are mostly sinale hearted enough: be really loves the girl, and tries to di ail he can to make ber bappy. Rut tbe widower enters tbe race with the intention that sbe shail make him bappy. lie is tbe first party to he coa Hdered, not she. And th-re are few single girls, and certainly no widows, contemplating au alliance with a ouce-ruarried man, wbo do not lully understand tbis. When a wonau accepts a widower sbe must feel the second hand nature of tbe bargain. There is no freshness about it; all the bloom has boeu rubbed off; tho siab.s are re chauffes. tho vows are platitudes, the ca reefes have been rehearsed be ore. What a worn-out pump tbe human heart is so f ir as love making is concerned, a iter ten or fifteen 3 ears ot married life I Is there anything more pathetic than forty wooing thirty-tbrce, and counterfeiting the languors of twenty t Or any thing more cynical thau the sight of a brlgtit eyed maiden who imagines sbe holds in thrall that vieux mow ache of a heart which has sur vived tbe wear and tear of a matrimonial cam paign? But. as a rule, she d jes not lmastno anything of the klud; she accepts the situation at its true vulue, knowing that tbe widowed affections are so much WurJour street lumber; Knowing that another woman ha9 ben belore her and extracted all tbe pith and marrow of romance, leaving tbe hui-k to the second wife. Bhe bargains, therefore, for a position, and not a passon, marries him for his money, or his title, or bis status, or because sbe may not have another offer, or for any other motive that may be dominant love being tbe lat and least. Will she do a true wife's duty bv htm: will she be a second mother to his children; willsbe "order all things outy," like Lady Burleigh tbe Hist 7 Let the poor little neslected hearts tbat have sobbed themselves to sleep on their p. Hows make reply. As tbe second mamma is to be the first, so is toe second.wit'e; it may be a cruel edition, some times a careless oce, sometimes an ind HVrcotly nonest one, always an interior one. for you will fled the rule bold good that there Is but one true love in life and oue married love: the brat holds precedence, the after one weaiens in ariiDmeticat progression, wnen widows and widowers pair, the sight has always tbe eavorof a huckster's bargain.

Warm, durable, economical winter suits are made of English water-proof cloth, or dark linsey, trimmed with a broad, heavily-oorded black woollen band, called "Hercules" braid; a good, useful style in which to make them is With a siDgle skirt, walking length, aud lined, a straight Hungarian pelisse, lined to the waist with Canton flannel, belted in and orna mented npon the sides with a single wide military Bash, and edged with fringe. A pelerine cape may be added to the pelisse tor waimth, lined with flannel, in which case an ordinary lining will be sufficient for the waist of the pelisse. Scotch linsey and English water-proof range from $1 to $2 per yard; at the latter price water-proof oloth of the best style and quality is a yard and a half wide, and six or seven yards make a suit. Hercules braid is from one to two and three dollars per dozen yards, according to width. The Sootch poplins, in the scarlet and blue and green oheoks, are very nice for house dresses, wearing clean and always looking well and lady-like. It is in deed nearly impossible to wear them oat; they always make over useful for children. The skirts of these dresses need no trimming; make them long at the back and full, patting the whole width of the back breadths in large gathers, add to the belt a rosette back and front, made ot rather large leaves, bound with black velvet; trim the wsist square with black velvet and ohenille fringe if liked, and make leaf rosettes for the top of the sleeves, or the body may be left open in front, bordered with vel vet, and worn with a chemisette, roplin velonr, a heavily corded fabric, makes a very handsome drees quite as handsome as Bilk It is two dollars and a quarter, and is most fashionable in pearl grey garnet, crimson and black. A winter cloak of cloth should be made np as a pelisse with a cape, or as a round cloak, composed of two or three capes. The fur boa for the neck is properly adapted to these designs in cloaks. With tbe present style oi dress warmer underulotblng is re quired, and this must not be lost bight of Long Balbriggan hose, knit or canton flannel drawers, warm flannel underskirt, and a "Boulevard" over ajvery small hoop, will be found necessary to most ladicB. especially those living in the country; and iu addition, high lined boots, and possibly knit merino under shirts.
