The currency of a high y commei cial, expanding, ,industrio .13 and pro ductive and free people,' ; by which their values are measured and ex-' changed, - should be unifOrm, sound, cheap, stable and elaetic.l Unifortnity is that Auality which gives the same value in every part thereof to the money' ofa country. This quality our presen currency 1 possesses in a sufficient degree s of, perfection. - . 1 Soundness may beidefihed as cer tainty that thecurrenpy i ' so secured that it can never fail Of e changabil ity for equal intrinsioril es. ' i No American 'pertnits ,I himself to doubt but that our legal tenders and national bank notes, 'seethed by *the pledge of public faith, guaranteed by all the resources !and power 'of the country r are to be: made good to the extent of:rvalue printed on their lace. Our present cprrency, there= fore, possesses the qualitY ot sound-, nese (or all purl:totes of internal bold ness and trade. As to cheapness; I al l fin' social writers agree that a papei currency. is the cheapest of all passible ME diums'of ;circulation i whether as re gards the cost of its ' supply or of its wear and. tear, or becanee of being non-producing' capital bile circu l !sting from hand. to Tan i. If gold and silver were used iin its stead, or locked up as a basis for its redemp tion, they would be so much idle and dead capital tiding daty 0 currency only,, and the nation so using it would suffer the loss of InterestOn so much wasted capital. It hi apparent that' paper being bee the sign pr token of value yields no lose of 'interest on itself as capital while utted as cur rency. - While, therefore, in thele particu lars, our present currency is cheap enough, yet there is another sense in which it is very !dear; That is, the enormous rate of interest de mended for it. , Stability of currency shay be de fined as a qiiality of - currency when used as a standard andpleasure of value which renders it unehaugeable ,st all times as compared with itself. A measure of value should no more , change than should themeasures o I length,, quantity or weight. It ghoul. be at all times one; and the same When all the property of A people:i - on'ce adjusted to such a measure ;o value it is of comparatively - Hifi: _moment what that measure may be. The term! elasticity, as applied currency, I will der* as :Abe power of contracting or expanding its vol. woe, according to some khown rule to meet the • necessities of its use i business, arising Irian its activity its sluggishness, or from the need= ofincreased population. ! ' • At first thought this quality migb seem opposed to the definition o stability which we hive just given, but careful consideration; will aho • that it is not so, as elastiCity, as an attribute of currency, shohld pertain to,it, sot as a measure 4f value, but as a representative of active capital. Stability is the fixedness of the volume of the.curreUcy ati compared with property measured by it. Elsa. ticity increases or lessens the vol• ume determined by the (necessities for its use. Elasticity is by no means synonymous with fluctuation, the lat ter being the increase or 'diminution of value of the currenqy ilt one time as compared with Another ; the for. mer is the change of veltime only as compared with itself: . . ~- 1 , A currency \to meet this requiri ment of elasticity !!'shouldtbave such capability of !oda* as f.k, iidatitit: self to the highest needs tif :tbe Inter? nal business ande l .ortiiner , Oe ;gibe country, and at:the same: time such contras tahilitras to adapt 14004 the state of greateatlepr -4iioa era -1 ont in either. case td rectit4ite colik nese, or etabiliW,er. vno., .Sl . de quality•the Aswis:o,- ; tai-efe ment-or, its4dghelt.,.. _ -,. 1 , — ::::1414 tasty oil Anundititik. .. ~ - t.CIU nothing is our *sent enrilereet* deficient.

In view of 'this it will be _seen the rate of 'intermit Oecomea a matter o national importance as affecting Our commercial relations with the other ekintries Of the world. Cotton' can be produced in Africa and India by the use of capital coating not more than four, or at most five per vent. per annum, thus making a direct die-, crimtriation against our producers of twenty pet cent The high rate of interest, which raises , the valiie of alt our produc tions, and the fixed limit to our cur rency., which is taken advantage of to produce financial panics and dis tress, imperatively demands the most prompt and efficient remedy. It can neither be denied nor delayed with safety or justice to our people as in- dividbals, or to the country as a na The various plum proposed for the amendment of the financial system are ridiculed as utterly impractica ble: The certificates of value proposed to be issued will appreciate nearer to par than the prevent currency, 'be cause they are to be made receivable for duties, .imposts and debts of all kinds due the government. There is an objection to them as Compared with the present green back, and that is, the government would have to procure gold to meet its interest and pay,the difference be tween the gold. and the certificate: But let us here reflect a moment that the gold now paid for customs duty is obtained by the merchant borrow ing upon the government'e note at thirty-five per cent. premium, and it is very clear that the 'difference be tween-the proposed certificate of val ue or greenback and gold would in the futute be much less. It may be further objected that, making these certificates receivable for duties insomuch as they may be below the par of gold would to that extent reduce the per centage of the tariff. This, if an evil, would soon cure itself. Any considerable in crease of importation by calling for more currency to pay- the duties would enhance the price of that cur rency, and therefore. bring it quite up to gold. Besides, as the act is to Fo into operation at a future day, if it were supposed there would be any appreciable difference between •the value of the certificate and geld, then importations would be held up .until that time, when the sudden in flux would materially enhance the value of the curreecy to pay duties: My next pitiposition is to take from the national banks all power to issue notes to circulate as money, leaving them as they are now, banks of de posit, loans and discounts, but 'not of issue—of course to be relieved from all taxes on circulation. It is evi dent that the $350,000,000 of "certi ficates of value," above proposed, circulating as money would not be a sufficient amount of currency 'for the business purposes of the country. Therefore I propose to throw open the presepleprivilege which the banks have of obtaining money from the government to every man or associa tion of men who can furnish precise ly the same security. that tire banks now do for the money so received from the government. This would secure elasticity of the currency, . or adaptability ofthe amount in circulation to the wants of the country, - • since the 0.385 pee cent. charged by government on the certificates issued could only be af forded when money was in sufficient demand to pay considerable higher rate than this. . • - The history of ohr finances and of the finances of England show that specie basis has not prevented:great fluctuations and numerous crises, and an inconvertible currency, or the sus pension of specie payments, his been. the remedy usually resorted to for such muistens. Gold is not necessarily the stand ard of values ; in fact is not' except in this country .and in England. other countries silver is the standard, and gold is after all only • an , article of merchandise. Gold and silver currency is the device of_despots and tyrants. ,Insknad of this money, the instru ment of :tyrants, which has wrought all these evils, I propose a paper cur away, admittedly the cheapest an most convenient, its value based no only upon the, gold in the countryl, but upon every other source and eieF went of ,the national prosperity,emati eipated from the control of all other nations, whether civilized or baritar ! one.

Suppositions like these appear crude, and hasty ; though , in time they may become rational, , when strengthened by sound analogies. A. complete interchange of matter has been many times made between the interior: sod surfabe or the globe. Earthly substance, taken from arctic regions by Oceanic currents, has con tinually raised a belt of laud on eith• er side of the equator. This deposit, being : always in excess of what is needed to preserve the formal equi librium of the plastic globe, will con stantly depress the equatorial belt, and thrust out, the arctic regions as they are abraded. By this process, in certain regions of deep sea is pro duced a revolution of matter down ward and outward' from the equator toward each of the poles. But the niovement, working from age to age over successive meridians, must be subject to large inequalities. * * at There must have been a time with out liquidity and without the present atmospheric pressure. There was a time when vegetation on the. vast scale of the tropics, as we' now ob serve it, was not so active in its work: The appearance of. an .excess of Vegetation marks the close of the larger systems of stratification ; but ~the rules ,of ,deduction indicated lead us to conclude, that, during the more recent ages,----be it the last million o years,—organie- life has been more activelhan at . any previous epoch. All the natural movements have be come more active ; because the mass and force of the earth, together wfth its temperature, have been augment ed; aad it'wilt not be denied by physi ologists that these causes will have re fined and intensified the products (y• vitality. The fulcrum of transition from the grosser to the more concen trated forms of life exists in fact,and may be Tound in the method of form . . etion of the earth itself. The earth is progressing by ex cessively Blow changes toward the solar and nebulous , condition. Its . history is a repetition of the solar, and a time must arrive when the stir- . face, Secoming incandescent, will be obscured only by casual dark pits in a brilliant atmosphere, a souvenir of , the present darkness of the crust ; yet during a certain period, within fixed limits of gravitating force and heat of mass, the human race may continue to exist ; prOgressing, we may suppose, in force and fineness of organization.- The race will perish, perhaps, in the order of nature, by failure or insufficient number of off spring, a principal cause of the ex tinction of superior races. The earth must become lone and voiceless long before-.the incandescence of the crust. Science may follow it into the condi tion of an attendant star, and then of an expanding nebula.

For experienced mountaineers the effort ' required fur tie ascent is nothing re markable ; but for ordipary people-it is laborious enough. You arrive at the edge of the cra ter, and the& you behold a scene. full of awe and' majesty. The sudden ness with which you come upon it is quite startling., Going up you neith er see nor hear. anything. One mo meat you are clambering.up the side of the cone amid profound silence ; the next moment, as your head rises above the crater lip, you encounter a roar and a blaze Which make yod_ shrink back'a little. This surprise is occasioned, I suppose, by the forma tion Of the crater. It is a huge boWl which comes up-to - quite a lip, .tbotit half a . •mile in diameter and some bun -sired •yards in depth Towards the bottom of this - bowl, 'on' the opposite eide . to where we stood, was a great 'hole, from Which all the prejedtifes of the eruption were shot - ; the ithrfacii - ot the bowl being composed of lumpe of lava, stoned and cinders; :all of 'them smeared With sulphni, precisely like - those upon which we were state ding. As. you mount' ttie cone there is between you and the gulf an enor mous, wall, which dulls everything alike—for eye end ear. Even while on the Steeps of the cone , itself you might be unaware that the mountain was disturbed. -But a sit gte . step seems almost enough Co . transfer you from the most deathlike stillness to the grandest exhibition of force it is' possible to conceive. Instead of the monotonous dull black'of congealed lava on the lower levels, you have the deep brisk red of stones that have been under the action , of fire, the brightest 'vermillion, and every maginable shade of orange and yellOw that sulphur deposits are capable of taking.. The ground is hot too ; so hot; indeed, that you cannot keep your feet on the same spot fur many seconds together. Between-__the chinks of the stones yen can see , that a few inches below-the surface it is actually redhot. You'itheast in the end of your stick for a moment and you pull it out charred. Over all the farther half ot the crater there hangs a dense cloud or- smoke and vapor ; all around you there is an atmosphere of sulphur, which sets you coughing; from numberless• small holea about your feet there issue with a-hiss sul phurous jets of steam which nearly choke you as you pass over them ; and then as you loOk down into the actuel abyss you are face to face with the most appalling phenomena, both of sight and sound, which, per haps the whole ,of Europe has to offer.

Ito . ver, it is commonly supposed - that ava is al ways projected , from the crater, and the language commonly used in de: scription encourages the idea. "A stream of kilt was seen to issue from the crater" is the sort of phraseology with which. one is moat familiar in accounts of eruptiOns that took place in bygone days. rim not sure that this is ever strictly accurate, but with the crater in anything like its present form,"it hardly seems proba ble. It would take a vast quantity, of molten - lava to till that great bowl of half a mile diameter, which I sup pose it'would have to do before any .•f- it would run over down the sides 'or the mountain. I saw no indica =,-tions that, this ever took place. - While you are on the mountain, .the streams of lava Which have hi suedlforth and - cooled at the several previoqs eruptions are quite distin gniehable from' each other by their differences of structure and color.— We saw! many such ; but Isaw no indication of any one of them having come over the lip of the crater. In every single instance the course of the lava stream sei'med to have been lower down the mountain. Certainly this was the case with the 'very fine one which burst out just before our visit. As we stood, upon the lip of the crater it was below us through out the whole length. The lava was issuing from a great fissure which it had -made for itself some distant down in the side of the cone. The guides hurried us away from the neighborhood of. its source, because, they naid,it was quite possible anoth er orifice might be opened at any moment, and then it would be all over with the present spectators -- The eiperience of these men clearly 14 them to regard this as the normal mode of the emission of lava.. In the case actually before us it was being poured forth evenly and continuously in a molten stets from the fissure ; it descended for a short distance• in a broad Wham to a point where a bifur cation took place,.and then the burn ing mineral Went down to the base of the mountain In two' streams of per. haps twenty feet each in width, look ing in the darka:ss him two broad ribbons of fire stretchio down into the plain Pearl:B.—Among all means of grace—sermons, sacraments,.

"Thetis to be the bore of thti thermometer,—though of itself it is now, larger than two or'three ther mometer tubes. • Now they are going to put on the stripe." A boy brought a lump of molted, opaque, white glass on a pout -It was touched to the now hardened sword-hilt,-"and drain from end to end, .along • the flat side, • leaving a stripe about as broad is a lady's tin ger.• The asitord•hilt, with the stripe carefully pressed down, and hardened utaiu it, was new plunged into a pot• of melted glass, and thickly coated ; the soft exterior waft rounded on a . marver,untit the entire body of glass, enclosing the stripe and the flattened bore, was in size and shape a little longer and considerably larger than *banana. This was now slowly heated to a melting state. Then came forward a boy wittes -peaty, beaiing on its end a piece of glass resembling an inver 'ted Conical inkstand. This 'he set upright on the ground, the bottom of. the inkstand uppermost. The blower, with the melting lump,now.acivanced, and held it over the panty, until-the soft mass dropped down and touched the bottom of the inkstand, to which it adhered. The man and the boy held the- ltimp a moment between them ; then, at word of command, the boy shouldered hie ponty,like . a very large staff with a very small bundle ott the end of it, and set out to travel. As he ran in one tfirectian, into'a Work iroom, the man biaked off in the other,the glowing lump stretch ing between them like some miracu- . ions kind of spruce gum. In a min ute they were seventy or eighty feet r i apart, with a gleamng cord of glass, smaller than, a pip f etstim, sagging between them. This was presently lowered, laid out at its- 1 full' length upon the ground,. and broken from what was- left of the lamp at the ends. . Even the Doctor, who had hitherto said little, now expressedihis aston ishment and admiration, exclaiming, "It is marvellous 1 it is truly marvel -ow I" , "Of course," said the gaffer, "the -bore stretches 'with ther tube; and keeps it flattened shape. SO does the stripe." "Bat what keeps the tube Of uni form size I' Why don't, it' - break ?" said Lawrence, - "The reason is this. As the glass runs out thin, it cools, and stops stretching, while it continues to draw out the soft' glass from the .thigket parts at the ends:lf we wish to make a small tube, stretch it quick, without giving it much time-to cool. To make a large , tube, we stretch slower. - Here is .a piece of barometer tubing, stretched in the same way ; so.is this. lot of homeopathic vials." The"vials" were a small stack o' hol low glass - canes, abOtit flve"feet in length, standing in -a corner of- the Work-room into which the visitors had followed the boy.' "Though, of course," added the gaffer,"to make them, we don't flatten th bore, but only blow it- larger." "Theri how are vials made out of these tribes 7" "•They art out into piece's of the right lenith, then the bottoms are Melted and closed in by' means of a common blow-pipe, such as-chemists use." Lawrence wae.about to ask a aid lar question with regard to the ther mometers, when- a man came along, and, stooping, commenced cutting the long tube into uniform lengths of about five feet, and packing them together into a narrow, long box. ' "These," said the gaffer, Phe sends to his shop' in Boston,--for be -.is a thermometer-maker • there they are CIA up into tube ' s of right length ; an .end of each one is melted 'and blimin -out into a , bulb,--the tube itself serving as a very small blow. ing-pipe.
