'the importance to the public service of estab•
limiting a national foundry,is again impressed upon
'Congress.
The Secretary Says on thiesnbjeet : A well-man
aged national foundry would very speedily de
velop and ,establish facts which would add lei
menaely to our national wealth. It is scarcely to
be credited that. with the infinite variety of iron
ergs and their boundless extent in the United
States, should not have yet discovered a mine
capable of making the very best gun, or if such be
:discovered, that there era no meaos by which the
,publick.earvice,cau•bc benefited by it; but such is
the '
_ ,
knationtil foundry , Would Servo as a great la
boratory at which the qualities and value of metals
throughoutlthelarbole Confederacy would be tested
and fixed- livery Variettof Iron, with its especial
adaptation - to particular • uses,- would, in a few
years, be familiarly knOwn to the country, and In
dividual enterprise would be saved in experiments
many times the amount which the works would
coat, whilst a great national branch of industry
might, by this means, receives legitimate and effi
cient encouragement.
There talitit little doubt that many American
iron ores are equal :at least to those of Norway,
arid yeithe national 'armories are driven by ne
' cessitt: to;purehase • fmm ,}broad the Norwegian
frontal' the - manufaeliare of small arms.: Choosing
to have" the, best, quality ;ef arms, we must go

'l , 7ljThi&inieiliftheary guns Would. 'Presently be di
minished, and their quality would be, undoubtedly,
,very materially_ improved.
"It therefore appears to mothat every considera

THE MONEY `MARKET.
PRILADELPRia Decomber 8, 1857
fn the absence of any news of importance, in
finewsiel circles in Philadelphia, we are happy to
be able to record a letting up in the pressure so
'Jong exeroised - by the banks of Now York. The
expensive procees of strengthening themselves has
been followed up until the banks havo'grown tiled
of it, and are driven by their loss of income to
relax andenlarge their line of discounts. Twenty
six millions of specie is a very largo sum to carry
unprofitably, and now that the tido has boon turned,
we may expeot to see it reduced to ordinary figures,
"and the discounts to slowly but steadily increase,
Until they reach nearer to an average amount.
' Mr. Stetson, the President of the Ohio Life and
Trust Company, haspublished a statement, setting
forth that the troubles of that concern are owing
to the mismanagement'of Mr. Ludlow, the cashier
in Now York; to whlob a reply is made In the New
York papers, charging bad management back upon
the parent aloe, and showing that the acts of Mr.
Ludlow were done undor.the authority and with
the knowledge of the President. A . very pretty
quarrel bids fair to grow up In the ease, but how
far the stockholders will bo the bettor fur it, ap
pears to, be,doubtful.

LETTER FROM NEW TORR.
Correspondence of The press.]
NEW YORK, Deo. 8-5.20 P. DI
/wit as I supposed, the nominal menden in leans,
given in yesterday's bank statement, ia made up of the
country currency certificates, given by the Metropoli
tan, and hitherto used at the clearing house instead of
specie. In reality the loans are considerably contracted,
but to give any positive idea of the sum cannot be
readily done, the banks having given no clue by which
to discover how many of these certificates they hold,
or to what amount. Some of the New York com•
mercial writers clap their hands at the expansion
In loans, and ask other people to do likewise ; but
as I see nothing to admire, except the credulity
of those who believe the trick to cheat the public,
I do not join the hymn of rejoicing. tin the con
trary, I expose. and repudiate the base deceit. The
thousands who think with me, were rejoiced to-day to
read the sound, Democratic views relative to banke r
contained in cur worthy President's message. There is
the truth, without quibble or evasion, and there in the
remedy to prevent and redress the evil. If the
States do net severally adopt his wise advice,
and if Oongress does not pass the bankrupt law,
the blame will rat on them and not on the Pre
sident. I hear the bank Solona are pante•struek, while
they affect to be very pleasant and laugh at the "ox
traragantJacksonism" of the President. I have little
new to note. Money is unchanged. That is, there is
an abundance for there who do not require it, and not a
dollar for those who do, without they pay from 20a24
per cent. Sterling exchange is unsettled Remitters
ere still anxious to get gold lostead of bills, and the de
mand for gold tide morning was very active et 4(ali
premium for American coin. Bar gold was sold at
)aji premium, and sovereigns cold an high an $4 91.
The cum sent out by the Africa to-morrow
will not be very ebort of the shipment by the Atlantic.
The buelnees at the clearing house to-day Wen,
' clear
loge, $11,713,103.18 ; balances ;paid, $749,978.74 (the
greater part of which were paid in coin ) The cash
transactions at the Sub-Treasury to-day were an fol.
lows :
Total receipts, $67,060, (Including $67 030 from cue
tome) ; payments, 021,089.46; balance, $3,934,767.49.
The bulls have succeeded again in putting up the
stock market, aided by the favorable news from abroad.
llow long this will last I should be sorry to endeavor to
predict. Erie closed very strongly at 17%; New York
Central at 75%; Reading at 53%; Illinois Central at
88%; and Chicago and Rock Island at 74%.
The grain and Sour market to-day was very languid,
and prices drooped. Provisions were also inactive and
in great supply, with the exception of lard.
MARKETS.--FLoon, ko.—Tbe demand for Western

CITY r ITEMS.
THE NEW FETRIDGE BUILDING.—Thia splendid
brawn-atone edifice to now being rapidly urged toiraids
completion, when it will take rank among the most
beautiful business structures in our city. Already Its
graceful front constitutes an attractive feature of the
thoroughfare upon which It Is located—Oheetnnt Street,
between Eighth and Ninth retreete.
The interior is now being fitted up In a moat sefferb
manner for the business it is intended to be steed for.
The arrangements are ouch, that when it comes to be
occupied with the elegant fabrics with which It is soon
to bo stocked, the display of merchandise will exhibit a
palatial grandeur. Mem& L. J. Levy &• 00., for whom
this building has been reared, expect to enter it about;
the fifteenth to the twentieth of this month, and are, as
we have been informed by them, now making an extra
effort to reduce their stock as low as possible prior to
their removal, their design being to enter their new
premises with a stock of goods as nearly ail new as pos.
ethic. If they are really making a sacrifice (and which
we have personal reasons for knowing they ere doing)
for the purpose of rendering this new feitther In the cap
of Philadelphia dry-gooda business marts doubly at
tractive, it is praiseworthy in them, and the public—
the ladies especially—should tommend them for it in a
substantial way.
SUPERIOR CANDIES.—MOSSIR. Whitman ,t Co.,
on Second street, below Oheelnut, keep the beat of can
dies—all, too, are made under their own direction, and
of the purest ingredients. No one need fear ill effects
from indulging in Whitman &. Co's confectionery. In.
deed, young and old gauntly grow fat on them. The
members of the firm are E. 0. Whitman and Alexander
Johnston.
TITS PIIESIDENT'S Mussean.—The message sent
Into Congress yesterday, by President Buchanan, Is not
the document originally written. Mr. D. commenced
the' riginal es follows "Gentlemen of the House of
Represantat'rea: It affords me unalloyed pleasure to
refer to the happy condition of the people of the United
States—a circumstance mainly to be attributed to the
fact that the Brown Stone Clothing Mall of Itoothill
Wilson, Nos. 603 and 600 Chestnut street, Philadel
phia, in the beet establishment of the kind In the
world."
MOlVEY.—Thirty-throo per cent. onn bo saved,

perfect lit from the place guarantied, at the Bureau of
Fashion, Ha. BM Chestnut greet, in Jayne's Hall
Messrs. Clifton, Albright, & Co., with the laudable de
sire of accommodating themselves to the times, and the
stringency of the Inonoy market, will sell their entire
stock of beautiful clothing at cost prices. Our

should give them a tall.

presents among friends is the surest cement of friend
chip, regsrd, and affection. There are certain periods
of the year at which presents are more looked after and
more prized than at others The Hallowed "Merry
Christmas Time" is, especially, one of those periods.
On these holidays, the yonng and the old all expect
alike from their friends some token of affection,' and as
almost every one is blessed with many friends, and ,
therefore, has to make many presents, it behooves, in
much hard times, to sandy whet and where to buy
Many who have on former occastone made costly pre
sents, will fisd it more prudent and convenient to select
their presents, this year, snore suitable to the timers,
the more eo as not the coot of the article, but the re
gard for the giver makes it valuable to the recipient.

respect, so many inducements to the purchaser, an re
