Bpboii patmhhtb have bo long been suspended that the silver and gold coins of the United States are objects of curiositj rather than of general utility, and they are rarely seen except in the cabinets of collectors, in the custom houses, in the bands of brokers, or in the Hint. It is a matter of surprise, therefore) that any considerable amount of gold and Silver is still coined, and we are glad to learn, by the annual report of the Director of the Mint for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1808 that the net deposits of bullion during that period amounted to 24,501,325 84, of whioh $18,114,425 was converted into gold coin pieces; $6,026,810 06 into unparted and line gold bars ; $1,136,750 Into silver coin pieceB, and $156,236-48 into silver bars. Thia is but a small proportion from one fourth to one-third of the annual product of the precious metals in this oonn. try, but it is large enough to prove that the diepobition to retain a metallio currency and to return to specie payments is sot totally destroyed. The desire which pervaded the nation for a long time of acquiring a broad specie basis for monetary transactions was wonderfully favored by the productiveness of the new mining regions, and the entire coinage since the establishment of the Mint has readied a sum far exceeding ordinary re quirements in specie paying times, the total (including fine gold and silver bars) amount ing to $1,049,152,757 84. How much of this sum now remains in the country ia to a great extent a matter Of conjecture, the estimates and authorities varying greatly, but no one will claim that there is more than $500,000,000 of gold and Silver in the United States, and few con versant with the subject will assert that there is less than $250,000,000. Even the large coinage of the Mint and its branches falls materially below the home product of the precious metals, for it is estimated that Cali fornia and the Territories have yielded, since 1S43, thirteen hundred millions of dollars, aud the total coinage from 1843 to 1863 has not exceeded $900,000,000. Scarcity of the precious metals and of facilities far increasing our available supply can not fairly be classed among the difficulties of resumption. The annual product is from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000, and it could be greatly increased if sufficient attention was devoted to the development of a small portion of the numerous gold and silver-bearing lodes which have been discovered. If from any cause the home demand for speoie 6hould become as urgent as it was on several former Occasions, we would not only retain all the domestic product but secure an influx of the preoious metals; and under such financial conditions the vaults of the Treasury, the banks, and the people would speedily bs as well supplied with a metallic currency as the most ardent bullionist could desire. The Mint in this city has of late years been mainly used in coining copper and nickel in I ieoes of small denominations. Of the 46,663,590 pieoeB which it coined in 1866, but 216,440 were of gold and 1,009,150 of silver, while 45,438,000 were copper coinage. Of these, 2-5,902,000 were five-cent pieces; 3,613,000 three-oent pieoes ; 3,066,500 two-oent pieces; and 9,856,500 one-cent pieces. The Director recommends that the law authorizing the issue of the two-cent pieoes be repeal ad, find that provision should be made for the purchase and redemption of the inferior coin age. The nickel-copper oents are now buing exchanged with considerable rapidity for the three and five-oent nickel coins. As the coun try will soon be well supplied with a metallio currency for all purchases or payments not exceeding five cents, it is also desirable that coins shonld speedily be substituted for all the paper now issued in amounts below one d?l ar. The annual report suggests that "the only way to arrive quickly at the attainment of so desirable a substitute for bits of soiled paper would be to introduce a provisional cur rency of silver tokens, operating at once as a payment in part, and a promise to pay in full;" and th's method is worthy of the con federation of all who desire that shinplaaters may soon be "banished from the land." In regard to the unification of international coinage, the Direotor of the Mint says: "In this proposed unity every country Is called upon to make a concession except France, aud those already In conformity with tier. If we taUe part It ruusl ue, at the ex pause of a treat rtcoinnge, ana so wltU EotilanU; but France Is Nupposed to be right already, because uer coin, the M frano piece. Is of Bueb a weight that It caDnot beexpressbd iu decimal. It is ttreolaeJv 6 H 81 grain, a most Impracticable and UDbcleniiQc figure. Nor would the 23 frano precisely 6 H 81 grain?, a most Impracticable and uDsoieniiac iifc-ure. nor wouia itiez; rrano pleoe, tbe counterpart of the proposed pound BteruoiC buu u u eugie. iiiuhb uy uuifcur SHOW. It la not fit to be meat-tired, either by grams or grains. The history i f this matter, how It came to be so, oilers no apology for perpe tuating such an awkwardness. It has therefore been well BtixKesled to take for toe proposed 25 frauo pleoe, or half eagle, or pound sterling, tbe neat and concise standard of 81 decigrams (or 8 1 grams), which has also the merit ol being exactly equal to lzj ?;ralH This would make so small a dttt'ereuoe rom tbe present French standard that It would firobably avoid the necessity of a reoolnige here; and so the ulfl'ererjce of value In the British sovfrclgu would be so slight as to obvi ate a reoolusne, w tie it not that tbe present standard of fluem ss, eleven-twelfths. U out of the line ot unification. This small obange would not affect tbe earth's quadrant, nor any point of ecienc; it wnulit certainly tend to consummate tbe buHlnts; and H la little euoushloask that Franca. Belgium, and Italy j,r.,iM An uomclhtuir toward simplicity aud uniformity of stsuoards. Indeed, without a spirit of concession-all around, the scheme geewi not llieJy W be carried through.." Our Comnl at Cadiz. Thr Imrortanoe of having competent men to represent us abroad is illustrated in opposite way?, howeverby Mr. Reverdy Johnson, our Minister to England, and Mr. R. F. Farrell, our Consul at Cadiz. A cable despatch fur nishes us with the gratifying intelligence that the peaceful termination of the insurrection in Cadia was entirely due to the good offices of the American Consul. That this gentleman exeroised much influenoe, and had obtained the reBpect of all parties, was to be gathered from previous despatches. The prompt re cognition of the revolutionary government by the United Btates through Minister Hale, and the hearty sympathy and good wishes that have been expressed in this country, have not been without their due effect on the Spanish people; and it is fortunate that we have at this important juuoture men to represent ua in Spain who seem to be endowed with prudence and common sense, and endeavor to make the name of an Amerioan citizen respeoted, and who use their influence as representative Americans to promote peaoe and htrmony in the present disorganized condition of Spanish affairs. So far as it appears, Mr. Farrell has not made himself unduly prominent in the late disturb ance at Cadiz, nor done anything that will compromise himBelf or the Government that he represents. Mr. Farrell, our Consul at Cadiz, is an Irishman by birth, and his con duct as a representative of the American people may be contrasted with that of soma native-born Americans who do us no credit abroad, and with many naturalized Irishmen who spend their lives in efforts to bring us into conilict with foreign powers for their own benefit. Caleb Cubuiko has gone on a mysterious journey; and, what is still more perplexing, he has taken with him for a compagnon da voiayc, a man who speaks Spanish. From this latter circumstanoe, certain persons have conjec tured that Mr. Seward has commissioned him to invest in the island of Cuba on national account. Not the least troubled fr this reason is the Spanish Minister at Washington, who has been making inquiries at the State Department. Where has Mr. Cushing gone ? Nobody knows, save the wandering diplomat himself, the eccentric Secretary of State, and the man who talks Spanish. The London Times has been thrown into an ecstacy by contemplating the newspaper postal system of the United States. If the Tines will look into the iranking system, and the postal service in the South and on the Plains, its admiration will be slightly dampened. Since the reopening of the expensive mail routes in the Southwest, the postal deficit has run up to the startling figures whioh it had reached before the war. Congress should give the subject s erious attention. SPECIAL NOTICES. Fur additional StvcUil Kntiret lit the Itirtd Fnprj, SOUTHWABK NATIONAL BANK. fiur.AUKM'HiA, December 12 men.
