The interest upon the whole of its Bonded Debt for the same period, exclusive of interest on the Great Western of Canada loan, amounts to $385,000. But this large surplus, after some necessary outlay for capital purposes, such as purchase of new freight cars and loco motives, is sufficient to redeem tho Funded Coupon Bonds, which fell due January Ist last.

Yesterday the banks and locl,l institutions were offering freely to lend at 5 per cent, But there were few borrowers, and the general disposition among conservative men seems at present to be to avoid all time engagements, and to contract as far as possible outstanding obligations within narrow limits. We have thus an extremely easy loan market co-existing with declining values at the Stock Exchange and elsewhere. We are prepared to cash the following coupons, sulijoct to recourse:—United States Government Bonds—J.)liet and Northern Indiana, 1874, payable 10th January ; N., w York Central Sinking Fund, 1876, payable Ist Faitmry ; New York - Central Sinking Convertible, 1876, payable Ist February. The case in money is in part duo to the closing up of the usual avenues for employing it, and in part. due to the accumulation in the vaults of our city banks of National Bank notes. The news of tho advance in the Bank of England rate of interest, on the 28th of December, has had no influence whatever on our money market, which arpears to be governed at present by influences originating in our own financial situation. . The Great Western of Canada traffic is, for week ending —Jan. 8, 1866, £10,661 14s. Bd. sterling, on 345 miles, or £3O 18s 2d. per mile per week ; Jan. 9, 1865, £12,408 . 12s. 9d. sterling on 315 miles, or £35 195.-4 d. per mile per week. There is little doubt that the depression in public confi dence, of which a proof will be found in our account of the week's fluctuations in the same market, is closely connec:ed with the anticipated effects of the contraction movement of the Secretary of the Treasury. If so, this general feeling of vague distrust will probably pass away when the practical character of that measure is better understood. The well known mischiefs of violent contraction of the currency are what seemed to be dreaded by our business men ; but in the present and prospective condition of the national Treasury such violent sudden contraction would defeat its own pur pose, and is equally unnecessary and improbable. On Monday Mr. Morrill, from the committee of ways and means, reported to the House of Representatives a bill for consolidating the public debt. This bill, with some modifi cations, will no doubt become law; and it is beyond doubt the most important financial measure of the session. In the examination of its details our readers must keep in mind the state of things with which the bill has to deal, and the difficulties it is designed to meet. The Grand Trunk of Canada traffic is, for week ending —Dec. 30, 1865, £22,162 sterling, on 1,377 miles, or £l6 ls. ld. per mile per week; Dec. 31, 1864, £25,390 sterling, on 1,335 miles, or £l9 Os. 4d. per mile per week. The Detroit and Milwaukee traffic is, for week ending —Jan. 4, 1866, £5,070 9s. 3d. sterling on 189 miles, or £26 16s. 6d. per mile per week ; Jan. 5, 1865, £5,110 Bs. 11d. sterling on 189 miles, or £27 Os. 9d. per mile per week. Since our last the chief features in the London - market for American Securities have been some few large trans actions in United States 5.20 Bonds, and a demand for Erie Shares for shipment to Now Yotk ; the general public, however, appear to be doing little or no business in these securities. On the week .5.20's have advanced about a half per cent., closing 661 to 1, notwithstanding reported large shipments from New York to the Continent.

Rail 7 per Cent. Bonds, 1891; Monday, G 6. The chief of these difficulties is the large amount of our short-date floating obligations. Of our national debt, which amounts altogether to about 2,800 millions, some 1,100 millions are represented by long bonds, none of which ma ture before the year 1880. The remainder of the debt, or almost 1,700 million; is of shorter date, the larger part of it falling due in 1867 and 1868. The problem to be solved by the bill before us, then, is to raise 1,700 millions of dollars during the next two years, or as soon thereafter as the money may be wanted to extinguish the greenbacks and other outstanding obligations of the Treasury. Mr. M'Culloch, when he was here a fortnight ago, expressed the opinion that the income of the Government from taxa tion will be enough to pay all new claims and current ex penditure. If so, the above-mentioned 1,700 millions are all that will be necessary to provide for by a loan. Now, there are some among us who say that this amount is too largo for us to raise without appealing to foreign capitalists for aid. But the Treasury report recently pre sented to Congress shows that during the last year of the war wo raised by loans and taxes no less than 1,897,674,224 dollars. We shall surely be able to raise 1,700 millions in several years if during a single year of war we raised 1,900 millions, without impoverishment, without prostrating our national industry, and without producing more than a transi tory retardation of the swift, deep, widening current of our national wealth. And, in estimating that wealth—in measuring the extent of our recuperative powers, and of our strength to bear the burdens of the war—the anticipa tions of the most sanguine among us have always fallen short, while the vaticinations of the prophets of evil have been uniformly refuted. Nothwithstanding these gratify ing facts, however, there are, as we have said, a few per sons both in and out of &Ingress who take the gloomy view of our financial position.—New York Financial Chronicle. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. - (Front the Illustrated London News.) The will of Charles Douglas Halford, Esq., of 29, Grosvenor-square, and West Lodge, East Bergholt, Suffolk, was proved in London, on the 28th ult., under £BO,OOO personalty, probate being granted to his son, Charles Augustus Drake Halford, Esq., the sole executor. The will bears date Nov. 27, 1860, and a codicil April 17, 1862. The testator died on Dec. 9 last, at West Lodge. He bequeaths to his second son his residencee.,%Grosvenor-square and West Lodge, with the furniture, plate, books, pictures, carriages, &c., for his own use absolutely ; also a sum of £33,000 under marriage settlement, dated 1825 ; and appoints him residuary legatee. To his five daughters he leaves various sums. In trust to one £2,000 ; to the others, £5,000 ; and to each a legacy of £l,OOO for her own separate use. There are complimentary legacies to his son-in-law, free of legacy duties. The will of Joseph Cookson., Esq., of the Royal York Crescent, Clifton, Bristol, was proved in Lon don by the executors and trustees, John Cookson, Esq., the nephew, and George Baker Keeling, Esq., of Lidney, Gloucestershire. The personalty was sworn under £120,000. The will was executed at Ryde, Isle of Wight, on Aug. 27, 1860 ; and there are two codicils, dated respectively 1861 and Oct. 25, 1865, which were executed at Pau, Basses Py renees, in France, where he died, at the age of 82, on the same day he signed the last codicil. To his wife there is an immediate legacy of £5OO and a provision under settlement ; the reversionary inte rest will devolve to his great-nephew, Joseph Cookson, of Neachann, who is appointed residuary legatee of both real and personal estate. There are numerous legacies to relatives and friends and to his executors, as well as to charitable institutions. His shares in various companies he has distributed principally among his nephews and nieces and their children. The following are the charitable bequests, which are mostly confined to Bristol : —To the ' Canynge Society, Bristol ; Clergy Society, Bristol Infirmary, Clifton Dispensary; Blind Asylum, School for Poor of St. Philip and St. Jacob, 100 guineas each ; the Humane Society, Bristol, £5O ; and £25 towards the hanging of bells in the belfry of Lidney parish church. All legacies to be free of duty. The New York advises continue to confirm the view taken by the most prudent American merchants as to the peculiar features of the existing course of business, and to Show that as far as sanguine intolerance and dread of diccussion are concerned our speculative operators at Liverpool, Glasgow, and elsewhere aro much more Ameri can than the Americans themselves. Thus, while one American writer speaks with misgivings of the enormous foreign debt rolling up against the country, others venture to point out the future drain that must be met for mere in terest from the constant sales of United States bonds in Europe, and the impolicy of allowing the process to go on. At the same time, the Controller of the Currency, in his formal report, speaks of "the waves of the uncertain sea on which the business of the country now rides," and adds that, looking at the financial troubles before them, it will require no little wisdoin, courage, and earnest effort to avert shipwreck. The present letters mention no events of commercial imikortance. The severity of the weather had checked transactions, and had likewise caused much interruption to telegraphic communication. The mer cantile community had just sustained a severe loss in tho death of one of its most honorable and influential members, Mr. R. B. Minturn, of the firm of Grinnell, Minturn, and Co. With regard to the plan of financial operations justpresented to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury the New York Journal of Commerce contains the following:— "There is a disposition to pause and digest the pro position now before Congress, to place almost unlimited power in the hands of the Secretary in relation to future loans and the funding of the floating debt of the Govern ment. This plan allows the secretary to sell any class of bonds, not over 40 years to run, at any price, in any part of the world, for money, Government securities, or foreign exchange, the interest being limited at 6 per cent. if payable in this country, or at 5 por cent. if payable abroad. We have no idea that this will result, if adopted, in the negotiation of a large foieiin loan; but it would enable the Secretary to place a certain amount of Government securities abroad, and to draw against them, thus ' regulating' the exchange and keeping the home market easy while he was funding his floating debt. It may seem like placing a large discretion in the hands of a single man, but we believe that Mr. M'Culloch would not betray the trust. The only important official act he has performed which has been disapproved was the secret sale of gold so long continued to the scandal of the Sub-Treasury and the chagrin of right-minded men of all parties. That course even hismost zealous partisans here have not dared to defend. But we care not how large the powers con ferred upon him may be if he will act openly is the view of all the world. Secret manipulations of gold by family friends we shall always condemn r even if designed in good faith the method of execution will be open to suspi cion. But a large individual discretion, with strict ac countability, is not necessarily a cause for apprehension." The will of the late John Vipond, of Carnavon, Llanover, Monmouthshire, was proved in London under £40,000. He has left £250 to each of the following institutions :—The British and Foreign Bible Society, the Wesleyan Missionary Society, the fund for the relief of worn-out preachers, and the circuit stewards of Pontypool. The wills of the following gentlemen were lately proved : William Stennett, Esq., of Reigate, Surrey, under £BO,OOO personalty; Stephen Flockten, of Hampden House, Romford, Essex, Russia broker, £60,000 ; John Fell, of Southwark and of Ux bridge-common, flour factor, £35,000 ; and Henry Gilbertson, of Bloomsbury-square and Ludgate hill, cut-glass manufacturer, £3o,ooo.—lllustrated London .Arews. From Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, January 24.) By our advices from blew York to the 9th inst., by the "Australasian," wo find that the market for Government Securities had been depressed by the proposal of the Government to convert a large amount of its currency indebtedness into 40 years Bonds. The fall was limited to about one per cent. In prospect of an early largo contrac tion of currency, Railroad Securities of all descriptions bad given way, and the entire list shows a decline of from $2 to 66. Money continued abundant, as evidenced by the large increase, under the head of deposits, in the Bank return—more than fifteen millions in a fortnight.

We have for the past two or three years been so accustomed to see a very large increase in the traffic that we think it desirable to give some of the causes in operation tending to produce such apparently unfavorable results. In the first place, some of the Rail road Companies benefited greatly during the war by the amount paid by the Government for transit of troops, and freight of stores and provisions for the different armies in the field. This source of income is of course at an end. It is also well known that farmers and shippers of all kinds of produce from the West to the East have in former years suffered so severely from the detention of their goods by the want of accommodation at the points of transhipments (frequently causing a delay of from two to four months), that many are holding back till the spring, when they can avail themselves of water carriage. Not withstanding all these drawbacks, however, it is satisfac tory to find that the returns for 1865 are, in most cases, in excess of those for 1863, and very much so over the earn ings prior to the war, and it must also be borne in mind that the percentage of working expenses is much lower in consequence of labor and materials being new nearly thirty per cent. cheaper than last year. , We have received the following communication, which we are satisfied will prove substantially correct ; and we give it, as it may be of interest to holders of Detroit and Milwaukee Bonds. The internal revenue collections in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, last year amounted to $4,386,000—an in crease of $1,800,000 over 1864. General Gideon J. Pillow writes to Gen. Howard that he is succeeding beyond all his expectations in procuring laborers for his plantations in Arkansas and Tennessee, and has full confidence in his plans. He gives the negroes a part of the crop of cotton, and allows them land for the cultivation of vegetables and corn for their own use without charging them for it. He says he could have engaged a thousand laborers on these terms if he had wanted them. He is working ono plantation with white laborers engaged on the same terms. It will be interesting to compare the results of the two experiments.

The blood must be freed from superfluous carbon and mephitic taints by some purifying medicine like Hol loway's pills, which not only thoroughly cleanse the cir culation but adjust in every organ the defects imposed upon it by that fluid when it has become foul or sluggish. These pills prevent stagnation, congestion, and aro the best regulators and preservatives against internal inflam mations, irritations, and ulcerations ; while expelling mor bid matters from the system, they cool it by their gently aperient action and strengthen it by their tonic virtues.
