(teemed for the Second Series of the 7-:10 Notes was so great that the Treasury Department tut-unable to print them with sufficient rapidity to fill the orders.

There is no reason why the United States credit for money should even again fall below its credit for courage. The same spirit that preserved the grog raph ieal integrity of the country will place its pecuniary integrity on a par with that of the most favored nations—and that will represent a rate of interest under rather than over four per cont. —On the 7th inst., a destructive fire broke out in No. 165 South Water street.
