FROM MOYA,MENSING PRISON TO
FORT LAFAYETTE.
War hag its bright sides, and the brightest of all
le afforded in the clemency which a generous victor
allots to an humbled adversary- We, who have
been bumbled mere then enee, know the bitterness
of defeat, and the crape that was hung upon our
shutters, after the slaughter of Ball's Bluff, should
Lave taught us charity for the - losses of less loyal
seen and women. Some hundreds of our gallant
men are languishing in Southern prisons; some hun•
dreds of our adversaries regret and suffer in our
own ; and if these could dictate the policy of their
sespective Governments this civil struggle would
dose its most barbarous characteristics. Whatever
lave been the motives of the leaders of this rebel,
lion, we may at least accord spirited impulses to
many of their followers.
Those who have been confined for the pant six
:months in our county prison have not been, as a
rule, dissolute or reckless. If patient submission
to the evil fortunes of war, sincere regret, in some
•cases, for what was done either rashly or from ne
cessity, and in others a faith that captivity could
not weary in the legitimacy of the insurrection and
its ultimate success; if these be good indications,
theseprivateers or " pirates" are not without ele-
Monts of manliness. Four of them were virtually
under sentence of death ; many had passed the or
.deals of sickness, and all were the recipients of
prison fare and prison treatment. They were sub
jected to fatiguing court trials, irritated by the po
pulace and by the newspapers, and have at last
gone, from among us, to be quartered 14; a bleak
and isolated fortress, out of the reach of ordinary
kindnesses and almost out of the reach of human
.sympathy—a thousand miles from home. Surely
these are requitals severe enough for the most
vindictive patriotism. And it was in order to
.Speak with these transgressor:4—u fiends" as they
have been called, and felons as they have been
treated—that we accompanied the crews of the
privateer-vessels Petrel and Jeff Davis to Fort
loilayette on Wednesday.
The lathe of the vessels Earned -are sad examples
of the perverse fortunes of the rebellion. The frff
.Davis sailed from Charleston in June, captured a
len , trifling prizes, moat of which were retaken by
Federal vessels, and was herself finally cast away
off the Georgia coast, Six of her crew were placed
at one time upon the seized shallop Enchantress,
and, being betrayed by their pilot, fell in the path
Of the Federal gunboat Albatross, and were put
in irons. After a long • incarceration, they were
brought to trial in this city, and four of them con
eted of piracy.
The P ^rel sailed in July, was chased eight hours
ivy the big frigate St. Lawrence, and finally, in the
gamest and sauciest manner, turned upon her pur
suer, hoisted the rebel flag, and fired a ronndshot
by way of defiance. A single ball from the St.
Lawrence sunk the privateer; two of her crew
were drowned, and the rest picked up afloat and
put in irons. The crews of both vessels, some forty
in number, have been lying in prison since July,
tinder care of United States Marshal Millward.
Their board has been provided at an expense of
three dollars MA weak par Sikh, siid certahl la
dies of the city hive given them clothing and ne
cessaries. On Monday last, by their own consent,
they were handed from the civil to the military
.suthorities, and on Wednesday were placed in two
prison vans and driven to the Kensington depot.
The deputy marshals, John Jenkins and John F,
Sharkey, with a few assistants, had them trans•
ferred to a special car in the rear of the train, and
the doors were forthwith bolted in order both to pro
tect and to secure them. No harsh measures wars
vmployeti, the prisoners co-operating with the offiz
rers, and obeying promptly and respectfully.
Some of them rode on the steps of the city
<vans, and some on the top. On the way to
:Kew York they were allowed to stand unguarded
upon the platforms, handcuffs, e'o., being wisely
dispensed with. Soon after leaving Kensington,
they proceeded, in moderation, to - liquor up" —a
'favorite Southern amusement, but not sectional, we
believe. This was effected according to known
maritime principles, each canteen or bottle going
the whole length of the ear, being first presented to
the officers_ Bread and cheese sums nett in the
course, and, all parties having dined, we proceeded
make conversation the dessert.
lhis was at first a matter of sothe difficulty, as
n man with a large plantation hat, who spat the
whole length of the ear, and talked in the key of
a rural auctioneer, insisted upon singing .—e
Bold Privateer." The chorus was lustily roared
by half the party. Some exhibitions of wit fol
lowed, characteristic, but not good, ainA then a
South, named Bryan, unrolled a gaudily-colored
drawing of the Petrel, with a Confederate flag at
the masthead. The same lad exhibited a series
40f sketches, indicating considerable natural ability,
and mere chastity of pencil than of fancy. It
SY - 83 plain to see that the officers were not of a
kind with the men. Of these, the most remarkable
was Richard M. Harvey, of North Carolina, the
first lieutenant. and formerly a midshipman in the
Federal navy. Heis tt etout, powerful men; square
shouldered, and six feet in height, weighing up
wards of two hundred pounds. In face he is not
less impressive.
A consciousness of power and command shines
from his gray eyes—that glance prompt and
fitfully—and he has large jaws that temper the do
-040 lorelleoluel 4qt of his eyes !IA forehead
with sufficient of the animal. He speaks with a
crisp, quick voice, and a quantity of gray hair
gives him an elderly appearance. Harvey is a
North Carolinian, and was a Unionist until the coer
cion policy of the President was announced. He at
once engaged with William Perry, the captain of
the Petrel, and the two chartered a vessel and
Shipped a crew. Perry was formerly in the U. S.
navy. Ile is an infirm, weather-beaten salt, full
of waning fire, and was, just before the war, a
naval pensioner. Re stated to us that he had fallen
off seventy pounds since his incarceration. Us de
ems to go home to North Carolina, and, if possible,
cross the seas to live out his days Tle believes that
the south will he crushed before another year, and
is disconsolate in view of the evils that await his
section and people. He was barely able to keep
Lis feet, and bad to be assisted in disembarking at
- the fort. Harvey, on the contrary, will go into
- the Southern army when released, and share
the fortunes of Nvrth Carolina. Ho has passed
Lie leisure here in studying the relative strength
.of the two sections, and goes away with
full intelligence of matters in the North,
and particularly in Philadelphia. Ile had
- never been so far northward as New York, and
was much oppressed by the cold weather on the
bay. August Peyrussett, the gunner of the Petrel,
is a Frenchman—dark, crafty, and cowardly. Ile
sat during the whole trip, with folded arms, buried
in the contemplation of his own dark nature.
During the engagement with the St. L 2 wrenee, Pay
russett deserted the gun, and fled in terror to the
cabin, whence Harvey dragged him by the throat.
The men detest Peyrussett, and he has made him
self very obnoxious to the marshals and officers of
the court. William Smith, piizemaster of the
Jdf Davis, is of good family, but is an unrelenting
iSecessionist, and thoroughly reckless of life. His
evil passions have contorted his features so that he
would make, without farther embellishment, a
creditable bona, fide pirate. Col. Corcoran is now
held pt Charleston as a hostage for Smith. The
latter is small, lithe, and uncleanly; in last, a
Southern scion " gone to seed."
The men. as a rule, are rough seamen, chiefly
Irishmen, who took to privateering from necessity
or adventure. They know little of State matters,
but think that this war is a "nigger " measure
and go with the current. Had they been in New
York. in April. they would have been the first to
enlist ii the Sixty-ninth Regiment. Two of the
men were Charleston pilots, moderately intelligent,
but radical Southerners. Thomas Quigley, pro-
fessedly a Unionist, will doubtless be discharged by
the Government. - Hu claims to have steered the
-Ent-1,0.7, 1 / 2 ,s northward With a view to her recap
ture. Fifteen. at least, and perhaps twenty of the
men, would take the oath of allegiance, and remain
in the North. One of these is Charles H. Marriott,
9011 of a Union legislator of Maryland, and heir, since
incarceration, to considerable property. He led a
roving . career in the West and South, and shipped
while inebriated upon the Petrel. Edward Rock
ford, sentenced to death, lea white-livered, nervous
Englishman, who feels that he has made a mistake,
and wants to be instructed as to what he shall do.
The men, as a]rule, are kindly-disposed savages,
who have nothing to lose of character or property,
and are ready for any desperate scheme that may
be unfolded. The distinctive Southerners are the
bitterest of all, and &spud to die in the Southern
Brmy,
We reached Jersey City at one o'clock and were
put on board a tug, under charge of ex.biarshal
Lewis De Angeli and . dward Currey, Esq., of
Wow York. The bay was full of ice ; the day was
raw : the tug was small, and had a cabin that was
. fdled with bread and cheese. A choice bottle,
'Without a label: reposed in a coiner, and the tug
put on steam directly. Captain Perry squeezed
himself into the cabin, and a sick privateer whose
bat might have made an awning, chattered and
suffered beside him. The rest of the crew huddled
at the stern, and looked across the dr:fting ice upon
the great city of New York, with its beautiful har
bor crowded withforts and shipping. So, perhaps,
did Corcoran look upon Charleston, and, gazing Lis
out at sea, imagine its waters as deep, as lonesome,
and as agitated as his thoughts. These outcasts
bad no home : they looked like embodied solitudes.
Between dancing, swearing, and drinking, they
reached Fort Lafayette at three o'clock—that
looked like a red-stone barn propped up in the
twiddle of a river. Its chimneys were lonesome;
its walls were bleak ; it stood against the sky like
the Spectre of the Brocken ; and the waters
'and drift ice dashed against. its base with a
hollow clash. Fort Hamilton, on the Long Island
share. looked at us ever so sleepily through a row
of goggle port-holes, and Fort Tompkins, across
the way, was quite stone-blind. The garrison of
'Fort Lafayette sauntered down to a rotten land
ing, and a lieutenant put out from Fort Hamilton
in a long-boat, and stood in the bow fold
ed in his blue cloak. In a few minutes a
plank was stretched out; the prisoners of war
were hurried on shore, and huddled together, two
and two, under the guidance of the sergeants. And
without music or cheer, in silence and sadly, the
pirates strode over the snow, and disappeared
within the portal of the Bastile. We were
allowed to peer in at the entrance upon
courtyard full of slush ; a gallery hung with
irty tntn ;, a group of slovenly regulars, and
row of prisoners that stared out of the ca.sounite
windows. The marshal took their receipt; the
whistle of the tug blew, and, with a feeling of ra
id; we pawed out of sight of Fort Lafayette, to
• orget it in the more cheerful convivialities of Now

Proceedings of City Councils.
Both branches of Councils held their stated meetings
yesterday afterneen. •
SELECT BRANCH,
Theodore Cuyler, president, in the chair. Chamber
called to order at a quarter before four o'clock.
A petition was received from the agent of the Boudinot
estate, asking to be excused from the payment of con
necting water undue.
From the Moyamensing Hose and Fairmount Hose
Companies, asking to be located as steam fire engine
companies.
From Norcross& Sbeetz, asking a reduction of therent
of Green-street wharf.
From the Western Hose and Franklin Fire Engine
CeliSpahleS„ Aidilki l y to Le located as swam Aro engine
companies. -
The Committee to Verify the Cash Account of tho City
Treasurer reported as follows: City fund, $64,942.72;
trust fund, $92,231.32.
The special committee to whom was referred the bill
for cleansing the streets and creatieg a new department
for that purpose, reported it back with certain amend
ments. The Chamber went into a Committee of the
Whole for the purpose of - considering the bill which has
already been published in The Press. The " Depart
ment for cleansing the streets" is to be under the charge
of a superintendent, at a salary of $1,200 per annum, a
clerk at $6OO, and a messenger at 8406 ; also 120 men nt
$3OO each per annum. The superintendent is to be elected
by Select and Common Councils In join! convention.
WETIIERILL thought the bill imperfect, and pre
sented an amendment which pla_es the department under
the charge of a commissioner, whose duties it shall be to
visit alt the streets and see that they aro properly
cleansed. Ile shall issue proposals for carts, and have
the power to employ the necessary number of men, not
exceeding 160. He shall be furnished with an office by
the city, and have his books , properly kept i the office to
be kept open from 0 A. M. to I P. H. for the transactor'
of business. He shall have power to appoint superin
tendent', who shall keep an account of the amount of
labor performed and the men employed. The city shall
be divided into four districts, each of which shall have a
superintendent to see that all work is properly done.
Each superintendent shall give security in the sum of
$2,000, and the commissioner in the sum of $lO,OOO.
The latter will be required to make a weekly report to the
Committee of Councils of the money expended, labor per
formed, &c.
Mr. WETEERILL said, in the first bill there was no so
entity required for the faithful performance of duty,
which was an entire oversight. He did not think it was
sight to elect a man at $1,200 per annum, to superintend
this department, and not ieenire security of hint_ What
we'leant is the removal of dirt, ashes and snow, and it,
can only be done by men and carte , of " which nothing is
said in the original bill respecting the latter. The antics
of those employed should also be specified, which he
thought was entirely neglected in the bill. He had it
from the Mayor himself, that it would be impossible to
cleanse the streets of the city with lees than from Ho to
200 men, and 100 carts. Ench superintendent will watch
the workings of his own district, and report the same to
the commissioner. If they do not attend to their duties,
they will not only be discharged but their security for
feited. In case the commissioner himself neglects his
duty, the ordinance requires the "Committee on Cleans
ing" to bring before Councils a resolution asking for his
txpulsion.
Mr. CUTLER thought that no one> was perfectly
competent t, prepare a bill for cleansing the street.,
notwithstanding all past experience. He was in favor of
the original bill, which would establish a skeleton de
partment, and might be filled in as experience dictates.
Mr. WETRERILL said he would never, as long as he
ht Id a seat in this Chamber ' allow any department to
flame an ordinance for him. Be was opposed to getting
11 le information from an employee. He was sure the
bill, as prepared by the committee, would prove a com
plete failure, and the Mayor would so give his opinion.
Mr. CUTLER said it was stated to him that the Mayor
made no objections to the bill, as reported, except the
put which gave it a police feature. [A portion of the
original bill made the scavengers liable to police duty
subjected to the orders of the Mayor and the Chief.--
Reporter.l Be hal no idea of a head of department pre
paring an ordinance for this ruling of these Councils.
Mr. Inclimait said there Wee only One thing that
would secure a perfect cleansing of our streets, and that
was to make it to the interests of those who cleanse them.
Ile said the opposition before they came into power spoke
lcudly of reforms, and this—the creation of a skeleton
department—was one of their first attempts. He was
well aware that if ths bill mod it would prove aipea
sive and a burden to the city ; but the blame would rest
only upon those who pushed the bill through. The bill
bad no intimation whatever of a reduction of offices in
the Highway Department, but was for an increase in a
new department.
Mr. MCMCKIN moved that the committee rise, and ask
lease to sit again, as the time for the election of heads of
cerartreents had arrived_ The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Magrna said he would vote against meeting the
other tinunber in Convention for the purpose of electing
the heads of departments, as he intended to ascertain
whether two of these departments—that of City Property
ens Markets—could not be consolidated. They had re
ceived no notice of this election, and had not yet time to
inquire into the expediency of reducing the number of
&pia- ineble. It required a two-third vote, and he would
vote against it.
The vote was finally taken on suspending the rules,
and was agreed to by 20 eas to 3 nays. The Chamber
then proceeded into the other branch, for the purpose of
electing the heads of departments. [See Common Council
report.]
Upon reassembling, the consideration of the bill for
cleansing the streets was resumed.
hie s Alausev took the floor. Ile thought the present
mode of cleansing the streets required a radical and
sweeping change. He hoped the original bill would pass,
as it would rid onr highways of filth and pools of stagnant
water. He could see no valid opposition to the bill pre
sented, and strongly urged its passage.
Mr_ DAVIS, chairman of the committee, who reported
the bill. said he had signed it in order that it might be
brought before the Chamber. lie had some objections
to it, however.
Mr. IxonAn saw numerous objections in both bills,
neither of which he considered perfect.
The amendment, as offered by Mr. Wetherill, was
finally voted down.
The sections of the bill, as reported, were then bead
anti adopted.
The Committee of the Whole then arose, and the bill
was reported to the Chamber.
Mr. WETHERILL HOW moved that his amendment be
subetituted for the till, which was lost by a vote of 12
na3 b to 5 yeas.
Mr. WETIIERILL raked that his amendment be printed
in the Journal, which was agrecd
_ IDr. INGIS3I moved to postpone the bill for one week,
in order that it might go before the public previous to
Ito passage. This was Snally withdrawn, and the bill
passed..
Mr. Fox presented a resolution to place two addi
tional lamps on Fifth street, in the Twelfth ward. Be
ferrtd.
Mr. Wuxi's:um. presented an ordinance relative to
connecting water mains, which was referred.
Mr. WETHEMIL also offered an ordinance making it
unlawful to lay water pipe or pave any street unless it
has been regularly opened by the city. The ordinance
was agreed to.
Mr. WIITIIERILL offered a preamble and resolution
calling on the Congress of the United States to make the
nr cissary appropriation for the defence 'of the city of
Philadelphia. agreed to.
The bill from Common Council relative to the purchase
of sweeping machines was indefinitely - postponed.
The hill continuing the interest on outstanding war
rauts was concurred in ; also§ the billregulating the nay
meet of market rents.
The ordinance for effecting the inenrance on bridges
for 1862 was concurred in ; also, the resolution authorizing
the laying of a railway track arross Delaware avenue.
The resolution from Common Council instructing the
Mayor to otter a reword for the detection of those who
fotwardcd certain forged returns at the last election was
agreed to, and the Chamber adjourned.
COMMON COUNCIL
The Chamber assembled at the usual hour, and was
called to order by the chairman, air. KERR.
Petitions were received from the Franklin Engine Com
pany, of Frankford, Western Hose Company, and Moya
mensing Hose Company, asking to be located as steam
tire-engine companies.
The chairman of the Finance Committee submitted a
report, accompanied by ordinances making the following
appropriations for 1862:.

The report was placed upon file.
The Finance Committee also reported a resolution, en
titled ••An ordinance continuing the interest on outstand

agreed to
Mr. SITES, from the Committee on Highways, reported.
an ordinance malting an appropriation toy pay the insu
rance upon the city bridges; also appropriating the stun
of 83,000 fur the removal of ashes.
Mr. Quinn opposed the ordinance at length. Ho de
sired to know whether any gentleman in the chamber
GOlllll atterTi that the polies had been taken front his own
door during the past month '1 lie was opposed to this
.93,000 a mouth scheme, when there was no effort to re
move the ashes being made.
Dr. Eames stated that, as far as he was personalty con
cerned, the passage or defeat of the ordinance was of lit
tie consequence to him. Re could not be surprised at the
geutitniau'e (Mr. Quinn's) opposition to the measure.
Ile had voted in the negative in every case except one,
whoa the subject was brought before the committee.
Xt. QUINN replied that he did not oppose the removal
of the ashes. But be did oppose the appropriation of
money when he was certain that it would not secure the
abatement of the nuisance. If this sum was appropri
ab d, we would have pont ug to expect but its total ex-
Ptioliturer briug the present otainiimiouvem teen
or twin.
31r. HARPER thought that every propertyownor and
housekeeper should be compelled to remove his own
ashes. We all - know that during the past month the
ashes have not been rent's - col. As long as the Highway.
Deem tment is counselled by law to cart away the ashes,
it should ask for an amount, sufficient to do the work.
FRISEUN thought the Highway Department, in
asking this appropriation, should make some report to
Councils of the number of carts employed by it, the quan
tity of ashes removed, the districts thus favored, &c.
Dlr. Sans again defended the ordinance. the larger
portion of the appropriation tfosild be spent by the in
coming Commissioner of Highways.
Dlr. QUINN. Will the gentleman allow me to ask him a
inuetion -
Dr. SITES Certsioly.
Qurva. Well, then, how long will it take the
present Commissioner of Highways to spend $3,0001
Dr. Sivas. I do not know, sir; but I know that I am
not willing to accuse any man of rascality until I have
some sufficient reason therefor 1
Mr. QUINN moved that the section providing 63,000 for
removing ashes be stricken out. Agreed to.
The title of the ordinance wee then, on motion of Mr
FREEMAN, clanged so its to road...it An erdinaneemaking
all appropriation to the Department of Highways to pay
the imurance on bridges." It was then passed.
The Comm'ttee on Highways reported a resolution au.
thoriv.ing Messrs. Malone and Taylor to lay a railroad
track across Delaware avenue.
Mr. Qv INN offered an amendment that the city may at
any time remove the track at the expenee of the appli
mtg.
The resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
Mr. PAUL, chairman of the Market Committee, snb
mitted an ordinance relative to the regulation of nisrket

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD'S CANAL.—
There has been great anxiety manifested by the people
reekling near the Pennaybrania Railroad's canal, be
tween Huntingdon and Hollidaysburg, to know what
course the company would take in regard to it—whether
they would repair or abandon it.
'Recently, incessant inquiries have been made as to
what would be done, and, to put the matter at rest, Thos.
E. 'Merman, Esq.. answered all these inquiries by ad
dressing the following letter to lion. L W. Hall, who
has Men taking much interest in bringing the subject to
the attention of the company:
CANAL ThWARTAINNT, PieNN'A. R. IL CO.,
llAmu:myna, Jan. 20,.1882.
L. W. n ALI., Esq.—EMAIL Sin ; I answer your inquiries
relative to the repairs on the Upper Juniata, by saying
that we are now procuring materials for a thorough re
pair of the canal from Huntingdon dam to Holidays
burg,
It is intended to deliver the materials along the line
next spring, and as soon as this is done, the water will
be drawn oft; in order to complete the repairs if possible
before winter. No boating of any consequence can be
done on that portion of the canal next season.
All new structures will be built in view of an enlarged
*anal. Any now locksthat may be built will have cham
bers seventeen feet wide, and the new aqueduct will be
ceriOSPoridingly enlarged, Tho shallow places in the
canal will be bottomed out, which will materially improve
the navigation. Respectfully yours,_

THE BULLET-PROOF Vzsr.—The recently in
vented buret-proof vest continues to attract the atten
tion of military men, and we learn that a trial or it 4
misting powers will be made at the State Arsenal, Harris
burg, in a few days, where it will be fully tested before
the heads of departments and members of the Legislature.
In appearance it is precisely the same as the regular
military:vest, but between the cloth and lining there are
fitted two , plates of light cast-steel, with the edges lap
plug in the mitre, and to fachioned As to perfectly fit the
body, and so thoroughly and peculiarly tempsred as to
make them very strong in proportion to their weight. It
is supported from the shoulders of the wearer by adjusta
ble steel springs, which, though very light, are sufficient
to resist th e blow of the heaviest sabre. This vest is
simple, light, and effective, and for many reasons is be
lieved to be a great improvement on the heavy breast
and back Pima used in all the armies of Europe.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET. -
PHILADELPHIA, Fobruary 6. 1862.
At the Stock Board to-day littler business was trans
acted, the market being dull, uuder the .suspense felt in
relation to the law for the issue of an additional hundred
millions of demand notes. Pennsylvania Railroad shares
were firm at 43X. Philadelphia and Erie sixes sold up to
S 4, and Reading Railroad eliares opened at 204, and
were dull at the close at 20. The money market is very
quiet, irml without change of rates. City warrants are
bought by the Third-street brokers at five per cent. dis
count from the face of the warrant, allowing nothing far
accrued interest, unleee the warrant has been a long time
'oohing_
Tbe New York Times of to-day says that nearly all
the banks in that city are endeavoring to accommodate
their dealers in reference to United States notes, in the
expectation that Congress will, in a few days, determine
the policy of the Treasury. The exceptions to this mu
tual spirit of good will toward the Federal currency are
Apt bilfficientlY ilnPol tent S 9 create 9frl4arroommt hi
the sweet, though the malcontents are yet apparently
sufficient in number to defeat any action in the Clearing
Nouse in favor of clearing these notes in part settlement
of the balances between the banks. It is explained
to UN that the reason why an inconsiderable mi
ne: ity may negative any such arrangement is that
the medium of these daily settlements must be unani
mously concurred it. If this be so. the only re
course let t to the majority is to publicly declare their
readiness to accept United States none to the extent of
at least one-half the debtor balances at the Clearing-
How , and to publish the names of the few intractable
banks objecting to the measure. The business commu
nity would then understand where and with whom the
difficulty originates, and we much mistake the spirit now
abroad in favor of maintaining the public credit, and
giving the treasury paper a free currency in all nurcan
tile and banking transactions, if the dissenting banks are
suffered to enjoy any decided advantage fruit separating
from their more enlightened and liberal neighbors.
The Commercial _Advertiser, on the same subject, says:
Whatever the objections to the measure, it is evident
that the currency of the country, for some time to come,
must be mainly furnished by these dettatnd notes, and
the sooner the banks accommodate their business or
rangemetits to that fact ; the better it will he for all parties:
They, as well as others, must take things as they are,
and not as they could wish them to be, and their own in
terests, as well as the welfare of the public, demand that
they should contribute all in their power to sustain the
credit of that Government the securities of which repre
sent enlarge a portion of the bank capital of New York.
flow important a bearing a policy which will make the
promisee to pay of that Government pass currently from
Laud to hand will have upon lie credit it it scarcely ne
cessary to enlarge upon.
The city banks would also do well to remember that if
the Government notes are at present irredeemable, bank
notes are now virtually iu the same condition, and that a
refusal to receive the one as currency, may not only pro
yoke ultelior measures to enforce the redemption of the
other, but may lead to the demand that all bank obliga
tions shall be met in the only medium which the law re
cognizes as money. We say this in no spirit of unkind
ness, but from a knowledge of public sentiment on the
subject, and a belief that If the question is to be nor-rc,n ed down to a contest between the banks and the Go
yerpmept, the former must go to the wall.
The annual meeting of the Allegheny Valley Railroad

The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
The clock market is weak and lower to-day. The im
provement of MA evening is mere than lost on most de
scriptions, especially Erie, which closes heavy at 33,V,
atter selling largely yesterday at 34¢34M. It is sup
posed that some English stock arrived by the steamer,
which partially accounts for the decline of Nei Per cent.
he reading of the details of the foreign news produces
some uneasiness, though this would be quite forgotten if
Congress were ready to adopt some measure of financial
relief. The market closes very dull, pending the action
of the Ilona, on the treasury-note bill.
The money market is without special change. There
is a full demand at 6 per cent., and we hear of exceptional
ansiictions at ea per cent.
