She is rather petits in stature, with a good figure, dark hair, black eyes; pleasing features, and one of the prettiest rosebuds of a month we ever saw. She appeared terribly frightened at Ant, but soon ral lied, and won an encore (that stupidest way of signifying delight on the part of an audience) for the drum Nolo. By the way, she regularly plays the vatuplan on the dram as charming Alboni did, and, as we heard remark:3d, when she acted the song, walked as if ibe had lags. The farewell at the close of the first at wail beautifully given, but the impression Was that thd Vooallit's expression aqui far greateithin het power. ' She was called out, and received a shower of boquets. : In Act-IL, however, she had more courage, which grew into (madam - when she sari how kindly she was appreciated. The singing lesson was archly rendered, and encored. Here her skill as an actress came into play. Everything else went off with increased and increasing enema. Her solo was delicately expressed (we must nee an awkward phrase,) and the conclusion was truly acceptable. She has made a great hit, but is not equal to Gassaniga in power though Lilly her equal in mire:non. Her style is very good, and from the way in which she played part of the 'character, she evidently would be more at home in the comedy than the tragedy of the Italian Opera. Signorina Ramos, who was prima- donna at Madrid, is Spanish by Meth, we believe. • Brignoli :and Tagliafico had the 'characters of Tonio and the • Sergeant, aid greatly contribu ted to. the completenese of the performance.

Of alt those indioated, so far, none will command a larger share of atiention'tban measures intended to be brought forward relating to the currency of the country ) ; and kindred subjects. some gentle. men desire the enactment of a general bankrupt law, 'like that now In 'operation in England. That law is contended to have worked with beneficial results screw th e water, and to have, at this time, the approval of almost that entire com mercial community, who have oertainly been most capable of judging of its usefulness. The power of Congress to enact a comprehensi , 4 and uniform law on bank lanes being doubted, to effect the aim in view, therimay be a move made for the amend ment of the Constitution to remove all doubt, and to place fully and completely in the hands of that body ell power of restraint and control Of such anzronoy. ,Thit more radical measures will be introduced, have no doubt, and pressed with great earnestness and much force of argument. Hon. Andrew Johnson, who has just been cleated M the 11. D. /Senate from Tennessee, is known to be a thorough-going Detocrat, of the hard-cash Jackson school. While a member of the House of Reprimentatives from Teneessie, he more than once pointedly stated his objections to the banking system, as it exists in our midst.. Hon. Geo. W. Jones, from Tennessee, and others, are of jthe same way of thinking. These gentlemen will have a solitneof their own of the old-fashioned character. universalA fiee-banking law will be advocated ; with what success, however, Itis difficult to say. 1 have given the rumors that float about in po litical circles here, withoit ,golng' into any argu ment pro or eon.

The Bank of America and Chemical Bank continue the payment of specie. The Manhattan Bank is said to be doing the same, and it is believed gm other banks will follow, in partial payment of specie. The statement of specie paid yesterday, by the city bloke, not including the marine banks, foots up nearly $2,000,000. Notice was posted, to-day, at the various 'banks, stating that business will be continued as heretofore, excepting the paying of specie. Cheeks will be re- ceived on deposit, and in payment of notes ; and bank notes will be paid and received as usual. Many of the banks have still large amounts of specie. Gold is cell lag by brokers at 405 per cent. At the morning session of the Stock Board, it was resolved that payments might be made in certified Checks. There was a general rise in the prices of stocks of from log per cent. at the second board, and prices were firmer.

LITERARY CRITICISM. THE LIFE OF JOHN FITCH, Inventor of the Steam boit. By THOMPSON WESTCOTT. 1 vol , illustrated pp. 411. J. It. LirozocoTr h Co., Philadelphia. SIO VOS NON VOWS might be the heraldic motto of inventors from the commencement.• Arkwright did not invent the spinning jenny;' nor Watt the steam engine; nor Thos. Spen cer the electrotype ; nor Morse the electric telegraph ; nor Fox Talbot the photographic process; nor John Fitch the steamboat. Of course not; it was contended that some coun try mechanic anticipated Arkwright ; that there and the Marquis of Worcester, had sug gested the application of steam as a motive power; that Jacobitz, the Russian, spoke of the electrotype before Spencer, the poor Liver pool picture-fin= maker, made it; that Da guru was in the field before Fox Talbot, though he did not publicitate the discovery as soon ; that Robert Fulton (whose first successful experiment in steam—naviga tion was made, on the Hudson in 1807, ex actly twenty-one years after Fitch had ac tually carried his plan into operation on the Delaware) is to be handed down to posterity, labelled as a public benefactor, because "he invented the steamboat." If we charitably carry out the advice of giving a certain black gentleman ce his due," surely we should accord the same grace to such an earnest, honest, persevering, simple-minded, and creative man as John Fitch. He was, in truth, no ordinary person, but the world has dealt very hardly with him. Mr. Westcott, his biographer, in assert ing and vindicating his claims to cele brity as a practical man and successful in ventor, has done two other good things, and done them well. Ile has enriched the bio graphical section of our national literature, and ho has produced an important contribu tion to the history of practical science. The book is well written, without any attempt at that declamatory style, so often affected, and *sadly so misplaced and ill-adapted for the serious matter of biography. The narrative is plain, clear, full, and, from the labor evidently bestowed on the collection, - comparison and coliation'of facts, bears internal evidence of being correct. The book, with all this merit, has one fault—it does not conclude, as such a biography ought, with a good index. The table of contents is full and satisfactory, but this is only half what is required. As, in all probability, the work will pass into numerous editions, this want can be supplied, and must be supplied to complete it. Mr. Westcott asserts the claim of Fitch, over Fulton, as inventor of the steamboat. To use his own words: It is the design of this volume to remove all pretext for error upon this point , and to endeavor to place the fame of the original in the favorable position now occupied by the imitator and copyist. If the United States are entitled to the distinction of being the scene of the first practical applications of steam to the propulsion of vessels, reliance must be placed upon Fitch's successful experiments in 1788. 1787, 1788, and 1789, and which in 1790 were crowned by the practical proofs afforded by the passagesof a packet, passenger, and freight steam boat on the Delaware, which for more than three months, made trips between certain places as regularly as do the steam-boats of the present day, with ease and safety, and without material stop page, accident, or delay. If we cannot rely upon Pitch's Claims to the invention of the steam-boat, England Is entitled to that honor. Symington's steam-boat was tried in 1788, and practically suc ceeded In 1801. Fulton's experiments at Plom blares wore made in 1803, whilst his triumphs on the Hudson (entirely destitute of originality) were delayed until 1807; or twenty-one years after Fitch propelled his first skiff steam-boat on the Dela ware, and nearly as long after Miller and Syming ton built the first Scottish steam pleasure-boat at Dalwinston. In this narration are sketched the early career of the subject of the biography; his Revolutionary services to the State of New Jersey; his adventures in the wilds of Kontuoky and Ohie; his captivity by Indians, and as a British prisoner; his exer tions to obtain means to construct a steam-boat; his trials, failures, difficulties in building machine ry, and his successful application of steam to the propulsion of three steam-boats on the Delaware; the abandonment of a fourth when nearly finished; the propulsion of a steam-boat at New York; his mortification at the lukewarmness of his country man as to the merit of his invention, and his final suicide, to escape from an existenoe persecuted by continual misfortunes. As collateral to some of these events, and proper to an understanding of them, full reference is made to the steam-boat plans of James Rummy, together with notices of the experiments,' of ,Samuel Mo rey, Nicholas I. Rooseveldt, William Lon street, the Stevens family, and Oliver Evans, after the time of Fitch, and before the appearance of the Clermont, Fulton's first steam-boat on the Hudson. To those have been added, references to steam boat trials In Europe, by Do Jonffroy, Anziron, Perrier, Miller, and Symington; together with a sketch of the contests between various inventors in the United States after 1807, notices of early ocean steam navigation as well as of Western navigation, and whatever could be adduced to add Interest to the main narrative, and to render the volume within the limits assigned a record of the origin and progress of the propulsion of vessels by steam. The promise thus given by Mr. Wcstcott is fulfilled to the letter, and beyond it. He gives a complete personal history of Fitch, showing how, no matter what the difficulties to be en countered, he was fertile in invention, mid facile in expedients. Here is an Instance. Fitch had served his apprenticeship to a clock maker, who taught him nothing of his art: He was kept at brasswork ftwn early sunrise to ten o'clock at night, but he was not taught any thing relating to °look work or watch work. In reference to the manner In which he was treated, he said, many years after : " I never saw a watch put together during my apprenticeship. When I attempted to stand by to see him put one together, be would order me to my work. I seldom got to see any of his tools for watch work; they wore kept locked up in his drawer. He never told me tho different parts df a watch, and to this day lam ignorant of many parte by name. He never per witted me to turn a piece of iron or brass in his shop." In eight months' service Fitch had not boon taught how to oomplete a single clock. He had commenced one, but was not allowed to finish it. He worried through these months of injustice until after be was twenty-one years of ago, when ho had a controversy with Timothy about the treatment which• he received. A quarrel ensued. Fitch threatened to seek redress by law, but, final ly, it was agreed that ho should be released from farther service, on payment of £B. He set out to his father's house to find the means to secure the payment of this amount. The feelings of the young man as ho trudged homeward may be faint ly imagined. He had "learned his trade," ac cording to the belief of the world, but he knew no thing. He was a olookmaker who had never made. a clock, a watchmaker who had never taken a watch apart or put one together, and who hail never seen the tools necessary for snob delicate operations. The portion of his life most necessary to enable him to getforward in the world hadbeen utterly wasted. No wonder that his heart was heavy as ho thought of this injustice. He said, it I saw the cruelties with which I was treated— the wickedness of the man—the dilemma which I bad brought myself into by running myself in debt three years, to wear out them clothes for monsters, and £8 more added to it, and I eat out for home and cried the whole distance, and doubt not but nearly as much water came from my eyes that day as what I drank." When he got home he was ashamed to represent the ease as It really was, for fear of being sent book. Ho therefore conoealed the extent of his ignorance of his business, and represented himself to have been badly treated. His brother.in.law, Timothy Ring, and his brother, Augusta, gave their joint note to Oheany, and took up the bend of their father. At the age of twenty-ono John Fitch now found himself at liberty, having but a limited knowledge of brass working, and without skill as a olockmaker or watchmaker. His clothing was scant, he was in debt £2O, and could not work at journey-work in the trades which be was reputed to have learned, for fear of showing his ignorance. He resolved to set himself up as an artificer in small brass work ; but how was ho to obtain capital? At that time, one Reuben Burnham was courting his sister Chloe. This young man lent him twenty shillings, and with that small capital and some credit., he com menced business. Ills father, with more liberality than could have been erpeoted from him, offered him board and lodging for one month without °barge ; and thus furnished. the young and inex perienced brass-founder went to work. He suc ceeded admirably, he thought, and in two years had paid all hie debts and was worth £5O. He bad also, in that time, learned something about the construction of brass clocks. Timothy Cheany had stopped at his shop once, whilst on nn errand to clean a cloak in the neighborhood, and either in a spirit of irony or of unwonted good-na turo, offered to permit Fitch to go with him and see how it was done. This proposition was de. dined, but shortly afterward hearing that Roger Wolcott, a grandson of Governor Wolcott, had a cloak whiob was out of order, our brass-founder went to him and requested that he might be al. lowed to take it apart. He candidly confessed that be never bad done work of that kind, but de clared that he had confidence in his ability to clean and put it together in good order. Mr. Wolcott consented to this proposal, and Fitch, having taken the clock apart, succeeded, after much trouble, in getting it together rightly, and it went very well. After that attempt he undertook to clean brass clocks whenever he could get an opportunity. He made come blunders at first, but after a time be came tolerably proficient at such work. At that time ho was induced to enter into part nership with two young men having less sepalsl than himself, in a scheme for manufacturing pot ash. Fitch supposed that he could manage his brass work himself, and entrust. the potash works to them. He soon discovered the unpleasant situ ation in which he was placed, Ono of his partners could not be relied upon to do the work, and the other had no money to advance upon his share. Under these circumstances, Fitch was compelled to purchase the interest of both. He was entirely ignorant of the method of manufacturing potash, and to understand it, he neglected his brass busi ness and went into another potash house at small wages to learn the process. The man who could thus conquer difficulties was precisely of the genus of which James Watt may be taken as a representative. His original idea of propelling carriages on land by means of a steam-engine, which was actually the germ of our present railway travel, arose as early as April, 1785, when he resided fn Bucks county, Pennsylvania. But, unable to realize it, ho turned his attention to apply ing steam as a motive power on water, and, even at the first, hit upon paddle wheels, as now used. Three months after he commenced his experiments, their value was so well recog nised by competent persons, that the inven tion was brought before Congress, by Fitch, on their strong recommendation. Congress re. timed it to a committee, who made no report on it. Fitch might have sold it to Spain, but declined giving up to one Power what whole world should possess. In September, 1785, he submitted his drawings, steamboat and models, to the American Philosophical Society, at Philadelphia. The Society possess the model to this day. In the same year he brought the Invention before the Assembly of Pennsylvania, where it was favorably reported on. In 1786, the Thought became a Fact. The model moved a boat tine!) the Delaware. The dream became - it' reality. In 1787, au actual steamboat of some size was put to work, and succeeded. Por the further course of the invention, its triumphs and misfortunes, we refer to Mr. Wes:cows lucid and entertaining narrative. Here, however, is a bit of peculiar interest: Al thongh not in the proper place, it is of suffi cient iniftortainto, to add here a fact which was not known to the writer of this biography until the work of the printer had reached the present point. This io, that there is yet living in Philadelphia, (July. 1857) a gentleman, Mr S uuuel Palmer, lib° was a passenge: ulna Fitch's steam-boar, the 1 enc. Verona,. His. father, Mr. Thomas •Paliner, was a member of the Steamboat Company, and seems to have made much larger ad VIII.CCS to aid the scheme than the majority of his associate shareholders (See pa 's 181 and rasp , 317.) Mr. Samuel Palmer, when a mull bpi , wide .Vrtrip, in company with his frillier, upon Pitch's bolt, from Phila.:lphi*. to Burlington. He has a' vivid recollection of the journey. They went on board at Market street wharf, at which a large number of persons were collected to see them start. The steam-boat was propelled by paddles in the stern. It went along noisily, the machinery producing a constant creak ing and shaking, and the force of the engine caus ing tho boat to tremble in consequence of the re sistance of the water. At Burlington they came to at Kissolman's wharf, in the lower part of the town. Mr. Palmer is unable to fix the date of this voyage; but as the boat in the regular trips in 1790 went from Arch street wharf, and the start ing-place on this occasion was Market street wharf, it is probable that Mr. Palmer's journeywaa either in 1788, after the successful experiments, or in May, 1790, before the steam-boat ran regularly for the conveyance of passengers and freight. In despair, Fitch sought for patronage in France, but the Revolution prevented the con sideration of his invention. returned in 1794, moved a boat, on the Collect, (New York city,) by a screw-propeller. At last, in the summer of 1798, a broken man, he committed suicide, at Bardstown, Kentucky. There, After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." His grave remains without any memorial, save "a rough, nnhewn, unlettered atone," which, his biographer says, (.perhaps is a fitting monument for genius and misfortune, neglected in life.and unhonored in death." • So died that Public benefactor, John Mb, Inventor of steam-navigation--kine of the many martyrs of science. After all, this Life of him is the most suitable Memorial that could bo raised to justify his merits and honor his genius. In raising it, Mr. Westcott will ob tain honor for himself also, for he has done his work ably, honestly, and in a tine, af fectionate spirit. TILE CITY.

Omnibus Registers.—These contrivances, known as omnibus registers, to our mind, deserve to be classed under the significant appellation of " humbugs." No one relishes the present system of banding up a " tip " at the moment we enter an omnibus, and to receive an acknowledgment that the driver has clutched the money, by a s tro ke of the boll of the sham clock placed beneath the Jahn's box. Nobody, except the omnibus owner, has faith in this kind of satisfaction in advance. It Ls not fair payment to pay your fair before you are assured of your ride, whether travelling in an omnibus, steamboat, or railroad oar. What is sauce for the pose should be sauce for the gander. To suspect that a man or woman would be paltry enough to play the rogue for the value of a sixpence, cope eially, shows a lack of confidence in humanity un worthy of an enlightened and Christian people. No one will guaranty you a safe and pleasant ride, free from break-downs and crowded, seats, but pocket the pennies from every passenger, and then stow away an extra half dozen more than there are regular seats for, exelusive of baskets, bundles, and a full supply of babies and poodle dogs. We well know that the position of an omnibus driver is one of the moat undesirable among the avocations in which men are necessitated to en gage. He should meet sympathy rather than aggression; and these , contrivances, tending not only to impeach his honesty but to make him suffer pecuniarily for the mis takes or thoughtless ness of the public, are unjustifiable and reprehensi ble inventions. Independence Square.—lt may not be gene rally known that the square of ground bounded by Chestnut, Walnut, Fifth, and Sixth streets, was originally laid out in building lots, the 6&1110 es the rest of the city plot About the year 1722 the northern half of the square was purchased by the province of Pennsylvania from the - persons who bad taken up the ground; and the State House was built. The structure wm finished in the year 1735. About this time the Assembly bought up the southern portion of the square, and the dwell ings which stood upon it were demolished. The ground was then levelled and a high brick wall was built around it. This wall was, long after wards, cut down; and iron railing. was put up around it, at the oust of the city and by consent of the Legislature. About 1785 the grata was much improved, by the planting of trees, .t c. 'and it be came a popular place of resort and a lasbionable promenade. The Declaration of Independence was publicly read in the square at the time of its adoption. After the Revolution, the lets at the corners of Fifth and Sixth streets, on Chestnut, wore sold to the city for 152 each (cost price), and the County Court House and the City Hallwere built upon the ground thus purchased. • ..d Defeated Canditfale.—Yesterdarmorning about half a dosen girls made their appearance at the Mayor's office, and told Alderman Rneu that they desired to institute a complaint against one of the defeated candidates for breech of promise and obtaining their labor on fain pretences. The fast of the matter was, that the hopeful candidate had hired them on Tuesday to fold elecition tickets, with the promise of liberal pay. Upon calling at his place yesterday, they ascertained that " important business" had called him from the city in one of the early train. They were farther politely in formed that, " when they got their money, it would be in specie, and would do them good," which lat ter fact they were not disposed to doubt, but con sidered it advisable to apply to the Alderman, in 'order to learn the exact tome at which they might look for the "specie." The Alderman condoled with them, but was unkble to give them any re dress. The girls took their departure, firmly no solved, as they stated, to work for no candidate unless " he paid in advance." The Moyamenting House of industry.— Among the many noble institutions of Philadel phia, this deserves espeeial oommendation. The benefits of the institution last year extended to over three thousand patients. The number of pre soriptions amounted to 6,080. Nearly a thousand persons have partaken of tho benefits of the house, 468 being adult females, and eighty-nine under ten years of age, exolusive of the children in the schools. Situations have been found for numerous persons. The amount of wages earned by the in mates was two hundred and forty-eiht dollars. The society have purchased an a djoining lot for $3OO. The receipts for the past year were $4,184.48; the expenses, Including interest on mortgage and ground rent, $3,697.17. Dr. Dewees Martin is resident physician, and attends the dis pensary. Fires.—Yesterday morning, about 1 o'clock, a building on the west side of Rachel street, below Poplar, Eleventh ward, occupied by J. P. Peter man, cabinet and chair-mater, and owned by Filler .4 Davis, was set on fire and partially de stroyed. The estimated loss is about $5OO. While the above fire was in progress another alarm of fire was caused by the burning of a shed in the rear of the Green Tree Tavern, in Race street, between Second and Third streets. The damage was very slight. An alarm of fire was caused yesterday morning, in the Twenty-second ward, by the burning of a brush beep. The alarm of Are, about seven o'clock last even ing, was caused by the burning of the frame boat. house of George Williams, on the Delaware, at the foot of Lehigh avenue, near the coal wharves. The damage was about 9350. Model Station House.—Lient. A. Ruther ford, of the Fifth Police District, certainly has the model station house of the city. The old south western station house, in Fifteenth street, below Walnut, has been appropriated to the use of btu division, and it forms &model establishment. The apartments are roomy and well ventilated, the men have ample accommodations for their bunking arrangements, and the yells for the prisoners are eeeure and comfortable. The telegraptie operator at this station, Mr: Thomas G. Dentry, is held in grateful remembrance by all the representatives of the press for his uniform oourteay towards them Ile is universally acknowledged to be a very skill. ful operator. Central Office for the Coroner.—Mr. John ft. Fenner, who is to succeed the presentleble in cumbent in the °rice of coroner, has an opportu nity to gratify the public and the reporters, by the prompt establishment of a central office. We trust that he will readily acknowledge the neces sity of yielding to what has long been the demand of the people, and instead of having his office in the second ward, where he resides, will keep all his official documents in the vicinity of Fifth and Chestnut streets. Joseph Delavau, Esq., who is about to retire from the position of coroner, will do so with the proud satisfaction that he has fully discharged hie duty. Naval ..Asylum.—There are now in this in stitution about one hundred and seventy persons, including officers and attendants. The expenses last year were 341,210.08. A -beneficent Govern ment snakes a liberal provision for all the natural and moral wants of the old sailor. He has the best of food and clothing, the moat comfortable apartments, and a small amount of pocket, money, as an looentive to good behavior, leave of absence occasionally, church privileges, Ao. The benefi ciaries of the Asylum arelnortasing annually, and additional buildings will Soon be necessary. Philadelphia City Institute.—The object of this association is to supply the moral and intel lectual wants of the western portion of the city. It is located on the southwest corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut streets. They have a handsome reading-room, with a library, containing over 1,500 well-selected volumes, on misoellaneous subjects. The Institute appears to be in a highly flourishing condition. William H. French is president; treble and W. Chapin, vice presidents; W. Rhoads, treasurer, and L. Kroules, corresponding secretary. Probable Murder.—A colored woman named Mary Wrigley, aged 35 years, was admitted to the Pennsylvania Hospital yesterday afternoon, suffer ing from two compound fractures of the scull. It to stated that she was struck over the head with an inax epohpylahrershtruseebta, lived between w iel ß Broad and Thirteenth streets. Her injuries, we have been assured, will prove fatal. husband, or below am Christian, " w ho We learned last evening that the person who in flicted the wounds had been arrested. Strayed from Home.—A girl, named Anna Kelley, somewhat deranged, has strayed from the residence of her mother, 1107 Cherry street. Any information concerning. her will be very thankfully received by her distressed parent, or at the Central Police Station, Fifth and Chestnut streets. The Wharton Night School, located in Fifth greet, below W14440441j bq copped on Mon-, day evening next, at 7 o'clock. The Schuylkill- Riser.-L—Until lirithlM a few years the shoreon ' both sides of lilafs dream has presented an inieghtly field of dwarf mule and fetid mud, engendering pestilence and death. The rapid growth of West Philadelphia is gradu ally eradicating this eel'. Owners of property on both sides of the river are beginning to see the so cessity of budding wharves, and laying oat a spa cious levee on either share for the purpoee of trade and commerce. It would certainly add much to the value of property in this direction if there was wide and elegant avenues along the entire length, between the Fairmount water-works and the john. tion of the Schuylkill with the Delaware. The vast resources of our own State, aud'of the great West, are naturally seeking Philadelpliis ma pint of distribution to the ends of theglobe. We can Fee no reason why the shares of - the Schuylkill should not be lined with magnifiaant warehouses and places of business. Within the last year a capacious whorl has been constructed at Lombard rtreet, end n Sae planing-mill built intl. centre. Within the same period an establishment, called the " City Glos.] Works." has been erected at the font of G cargo sweat. Other works, deaden, will soon be brought into operation along the burden of the river. The necessity of new bridges across the Schuyl kill has long been made apparent. There ought to be one at Chestnut street, and at other streets at convenient distanced below this point. Now is the limo for the city to take thus by the forelock, and snared° the Walls as to render them effective for the purposes of business, not omitting to laj - off parks, or "breathing places," for the benefit of generations that are to follow the resent. If we mistake not, William Penn, inlaying out our city, designed that something like thisshould be mem plished, but tin last of traffic and gain hasi then far frustrated the intention:. Let an enlarged spirit of enterprise be able to keep.open the ne cessary space on the shores of the Schuyikfil for the rapidly expanding requirements of our inhabi tants, and the mercantile and trading interests ge nerally. Murderous Juan —Yesterday a difficulty occurred at the raw factory of Bringhurst rt Co.'s, Second and Oxford streets, between two men named Charles Elletraker and W. Miles.

[From the 'Boston Poet.] Some still go back to the suspension of 1837, and say that the cases are, at bottom, analogous, and that what then was unavoidable is necessary now. W e have remarked at same length on the facts that prove them not to be. Take an Mmtration that comes home to osr present condition as to specie—one drawn from the state of the ex changes. Nearly a fortnight sac we remarked that to place of the millions of foreign indebted ness, and of the ruinous drain of specie oat of the country of 1837, the rate is such of 13.51 that it must bring specie from abroad. Look at en ehan4e to-day !Itis at such a rate as to allow a margin of profit to import specie from Europe of between nett end nuns per cent ; the trade is such that specie mast coma ; and it is safe to pre dict that heavy imports can begin within thirty days, while our own product is • in constant ly from California. Need we point to e difference between such a state of things and the state that existed at the date of the 1837 suspension? Then our exchanges were against us as to specie, and it was flowing out of the banks and out of the country. But look at this alleged analogy in a paint of view in which we have not considered It. The suspension of 1837 took place at a time when our crops were all in—had been all used np. Indeed, all through the South the planters had even pledged the croEs not yet sown—triune ofll3S—for mean., to melt their engagements. Let a mean a fact or two. Here is a citation from a New Or cans paper of 1937 just before the • n : " New Orleans, April 5, Inf.

In fact, crops there had fail ed, and up to the very day of the 1831 suSpensiOk we were increasing our indebtedness to Europe by importing wheat.
