It must be here, however, observed, that so late as 1833 the exchange at New York was at or under par, and that those States of the Union which have an exclusively paper currency quote higher at times than 131 per cent. premium. This year the dividends on some of the State Stocks have been remitted at about 14 per cent. premium from Philadelphia, and at 151 from New Orleans. These may, perhaps, be considered as extreme cases ; bid. with the evidence which exists of the fondness of the American people for paper money it is difficult to say how frequently these violent fluctuations in the exchange may occur from the inevitable consequences of this species of cur- PLAYING CARDS.—DE LA RUE and CO. beg to announe•e that their NEW SERIES of Patent Aethogeaphie and other patterns on their Improved Patent Ivory Playing Cards are now ready for delivery.

A very large and superior as sortment for exportation, warranted equal to the best home Cards, will be ready in January. rency. The short tables in the appendix will be found useful in converting the different local currencies of some of the colonies. The arrangement of these tables presents one point which is particularly judicious and deserv ing of notice. Instead of forminty two consecu tive tables for the conversion of dollars into sterlinc , and sterling into dollars, by any given mode of exchange, the two operations will always be found together wherever the book is opened. Thus, if the exchange is quoted 51 per cent. premium, on searching for that price in the third table we find sterling reduced to &liars at 51 per cent on the left hand page, and opposite to it, on the right hand, dollars reduced to ster ling at the same exchange, and without any risk of mistaking the column required. The tables are calculated to the nearest 1-10th of 1 cent. in the dollar columns, and to the nearest 1-10th of id. in the sterling column. CHRONICLE.—There are very general com plaints expressed on account-or-the delay which occurs in publishin o• the monthly returns of the circulation of the 'United Kingdom, after the period has elapsed at which they close, and not without seemingly good reason; for we did not see those ending the 13th November last until the Ist December inst., a delay of seventeen days; surely much more than can be required to prepare the accounts transmitted from the pro vinces under the expeditious railroad system of internal communication. In an interval of nearly three weeks, an important change may have taken place in the stock of gold ; and yet this is about the most recent information afforded by the present system. Every possible endeavour is used to conceal the truth from the public, and the returns are kept back accordingly to the last moment. The very reverse of this pracice ought to be adopted. The utmost precision and ex actness should be observed in making British merchants acquainted with the state of the bul lion up to the most recent possible period, for if they be misled in that respect, they are likely to be deceived in others. It is, in fact, the iu- SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURN ALLiO2. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—We yesterday adverted at some length to Lord John Russell's prospect of an united declaration of the people of England and Scotland in favour of the principle of his rejected Budget. We do not form quite so low an estimate of the Noble Lord's talent or his modesty, as that professed by his brother Whig, the particularly reverend Sidney Smith ; and, therefore,we cannot believe that he has the slight est anticipation of the unanimity of which he speaks in his letter to the Plymouth addressors. The truth is, that the Budget, as well as the reply, were not made for use, but, like Peter Pindar's razors, t relieve the temporary wants of the maker, Without the least regard to their ultimate fate. The hilts-Ministers were 'driven to that " last resource" of—(Johnson has a hard word, for which we shall substitute) a political adventurer—agitation. The Budget was got up to create an agitation, but without the least hope that it would be adopted. ; and the reply to the Plymouth address is issued to keep alive agitation, with as little expectation that any one will seriously rely upon its promises. - Under such circumstances, perhaps,_the Noble Lord did not apprehend any critical examination of his epistle, and we have some scruple about submitting it to that test. A Correspondent, however, to whOm we are so deeply indebted for valuable advice upon more than one occasion as to be unable to resist his suggestion, calls upon us to remind the public of what was the main priciple of that Budget so complacently referred to in the letter of the ex-Colonial Secretary, and of how much truth there is in the boast that the Budget would relieve the people from taxation. The principle of the Budget was the reduc tion of import duties without obtaining an equi valent reduction of the duties upon the intro duction of British goods into foreign markets. Now, the assertion that this would ulti mately cause a reduction of taxation, betrays an utter ignorance of the first principles of financial policy. The one-sided free trade of the Whig Ministry would increase the pressure of taxation to a ruinous degree. A reduction of our import duties, accompanied by equivalent concessions in savour of British connnerce, would be ac companied by the following results :—The price of foreign goods in the British market would fall, in the proportion of the remitted duties; while the price of British goods in the foreio.m market would remain as before. This would cause our im ports to exceed our exports, and require that a balance should be remitted in the precious metals. The abstraction of gold, and the consequent contraction of the currency, would now bring down the price of British goods, and thus admit of an extension of imports sufficient to restore our foreign commerce to a trade of barter, and to prevent a further dimi nution of the metals and contraction of the currency. It is obvious, however, that the per manent result of the change would be a rise in the value of money=diminishing the amount of ad valorem duties—increasing the pressure of all fixed taxes—and rendering it doubtful whether faith with the public creditor could be main taiaed. And yet Lord John Russell boasts that his measures would have relieved the people from taxation. His self-delusion is as amusing and as mischievous as the monomania of Robert Oven. GLOBE.—The various evidences that confi dence is felt in the present Government, the various arguments why confidence should be felt in the present Government, and the various ap prehensions lest confidence in time present Goversinent should be diminished, are bandied to and fro most contradictorily by the organs of the party in power. Sir Ro bert Peel himself affected modestly to dis claim the increased deposits in the Savings'Banks as conclusive proof of confidence in his Ministry. A. Weekly Contemporary proposed as a good bid for that confidence a " comprehensive" measure of national emigration, the mere proposal of which was said to be . warmly and universally welcomed. This warm and univer sal welcome turned out, at t'other day's City meeting, to be something in temperature consi derably under the freezing point. The warmth was to have been an earnest of confidence, if Ministers did but strike while the iron was hot —the coldness is assumed as a proof of confidence that they will strike—just as strikes them—and that no demonstration of the slightest popular feeling for their supposed plans could be other wise than Presumptuous: The public takes for granted that whatever they mean to do will be wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best—and re spectfully abstains from disturbing their wisdom by the least token of encouragement! " The fate of the City requisition for the purpose of getting up an anticipatory meetiug on the subject [of emigration] is highly illustra tive" (says the Times)-- of what, for a the general trust reposed the metropolitan community." ducatiin liii,lisiei.s !—why—"b g f On other occasions, under Ministers less fit vOured by public confidence, it has been sup posed that those who were warmly in favour of any project would best promote it by show ing how many they were, and how much they wished for it. It has been sup posed that Governments might be enlightened on the scope of their wishes, and prompted to carry them into effect by public and influential gatherings. Under the present Ministry, how ever, all this is superseded. They are left, on their Ida, to the genial mysteries of official begettino . ; no profane eye dares to pierce the clouds which involve Jupiter Peel; no mortal voice dares to arise in the vain hope that the Power will listen to it. It is not public indifference or distrust of the promised quack eries which are "put forth as substitutes for letting commerce and industry out of thrall—it is awe for the omniscience and omnipotence of a Tory ministry—it is the certainty that they know all the public could ask, and its ignorance in ask ng—that they are political deities too venerable .o admit of being addressed at all.

When it is sound, there can be no good reason to hide or keep it back ; and when it is not, the sooner that the mercantile commu nity are made acquainted with the fact, the better for all concerned. Since the 13th of November, we have reason to believe that the gold on hand has increased, for there is generally a reflux of gold at this period from the country banks after harvest. Our observations apply with the same force, whether gold be -leaving the country or flowing back. In either case it is essential, for the safety of commercial enterprise, that those engaged in it should have correct and early means of knowledge. At present their information is imperfect, and chiefly drawn from the weekly rates of the Foreign Exchanges —all good evidence in so far, but they ought also to be able to compare that test with the true amount of the gold in the Bank coffers. The deposits and securities should also be given more frequently, and the latter classified. It is to be hoped that Parliament may see cause to take a leaf out of the constitution of the Bank of France and engraft a portion of it on that of the Bank of England. In so far as the public had means of judging, the policy of the Directors until to-day has been to keep on the screw, and to allow no alleviation in the pressure for money. The operations of the Government broker have added to that im pression, but to-day the tables are turned, and the Bank has been taking in stock for the Opening. FOREIGN AND BRITISH SPIRITS.

MONEY _MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TIIF. MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—Some extensive tables for reducing the value of dollars into sterling, and sterling amounts- into dollars, have lately been published by Mr. George Reid. They are principally com prised in three sets, which are classed according to the method employed in quoting the exchange at the various places where the Spanish dollar is the ge neral money of account. The first table is intended to be used when the exchange is quoted in a variable number of dol lars for every 1001. sterling, and which ranges from $460 to $505. Soon after the last change took silver in the coina ge o f th e United States, the year 1831, this m e th o d o f q uoting gold gild i the exchange on London was adopted by some parties in America. Their mode, at least, was sterling, and would have been far preferable t a l t o h g e o uis) present e i n t , being circuitous eu i 3 t 4 o . u B s o analogous or $4.87 per pound dollars into sterling at a fictitious par of 4s. Gd. I mode of rendering per dollar, and then reducing it to its real value by a fluctuating exchange of so much per cent. It never, however, came into general practice, and is now seldom, if ever, used. This table is applicable to the exchange, as it is sometimes quoted in the Mauritius and in Cuba. It has, however, been higher than $505, which is the limit of the table. The second table is to be used in all cases where the exchange is quoted in shillings and pence sterling per dollar, and ranges from 35. 10d. to 4s. 4d. This method is extensively em ployed in drawing bills on London from China, and some other parts of the East Indies. The rate, however, has been frequently much above 4s. 4d. per dollar. The third table comprises the quotation of the exchange as generally used in the United States —namely, at a premium per cent. upon an as ! sumed value for the .dollar of 4s. Gd. sterling. pARR'S LIFE PILLS. I Extract from the Third Series of Cures effected by this extraordinary Aledit-ine. G S e E nt C le O rn N en D r_ L l E w T r T it E e R to I F ..

I must also inform you that my brother-in-law, Air. W. J. Barres, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to life and sound health, made use of Parr's Life Pills, and their effects on him have, if possible, been'i4err more miraculous than on myself. He had suffered from a most' distressing asthma, cough, &c., for above seven years, but, after using one box at 2s. 9d., is quite a new being. The most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails, which had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly, have been replaced by new and perfect ones. This has been considered by many who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part, I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr. I continue to enjoy the best of health and j spiollrN its, and am your , s very OBRNE re spectfully, " Late of her Majesty's 52d Regiment of Foot, dis charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors. " Hinckley, July 27, 1841." In no one in.tance has this hvaluable Medicine failed, when duly persevered in, to afford relief, even in the oldest and most inveterate cases; if any, from want of confidence or fickleness, discontinue their use to, early, and thus leave unaccomplished what they desired, are they to attribute the fault to the medi cine? Certainly not; but to their own love of change and want of patience. Celsus has justly remarked, that " Di,eases slow in their progress go off very slowly ; and that time is ne cessary to remove the deeply-rooted evils which time has occa sioned." This should be borne in mind by all suffering from disease deeply-rooted in the system, to impart patience and per severance in the use of this medicine; and where the disorder seems obstinate, they may rest fully assured that time will effect aradical and perfect cure. .0 * See directions given with every Box.

A long inquiry took plac6 on Thursday, a t the Ship, Phoenix-alley, Long-acre, before Messrs. Gell and Higgs, Coroners for Westminster, on the body of Joseph Love, aged 28. Sarah Cole said that the deceased was the landlord of a house of ill-fame in Phcenix-alley, and she was his servant. On the morning of Tuesday week last, while witness and the other inmates were in bed, a man knocked at the street door, and asked for accommoda tion for the night. The man, whose name witness had since ascertained to be Mathewson. behaved in such a violent manner when he entered the hous9 that she called for her master (the decea..sed) to turn him out. She then saw that Mathewson was intoxicated. Deceased en deavoured to prevail upon him to go away quietly, but he refused, and struck deceased upon the breast. A scuffle then ensued b etween them, in the course of which Ma thewson caught deceased . by the neck, and knocked his head violently against the walL Deceased then fell on the floor, exclaiming, " Oh, I'm . a murdered man." Ma thewson did not cease his violence, and witness gave him into custody. Deceased was then taken to his bed room, and on Wednesday night last he died. Mr. J. N. Bainbridge, surgeon, said that he had made a post mortem examination of the body, and ascertained that death arose from an effusion of blood into the base of PUBLICATIONS NEW ROMANCE BY J.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.s, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in prof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age.

It was objectedb great cry Mr. Anderton and others, that to their knowledge the two Corporate funds for women, whom they believed not to be the widowst• freemen at all, sometimes received the amount of of 17 tickets in the Chamberlain's Office; that n.t of 15 if 1,000/.
