The Now York Herald of the Ist remarks upon the
state of commercial affairs :

The bank statement for last week shows a very extraor-
dinary movement in the leading departments. There bee
been an important increase in each department except dis-
counts. The following figures exhibit the changes, compared
with the previous week .—Decrease in loans and discounts,
412,302 dole.; in in specie, 1,135,366 dole.; ineresee in
circulation, 237,366 dole.; increase in deposits actual,
1,923,057 dole. The decrease in diaconate, with suc►
un •ugnentation of strength in the other departments,
shows a degree of prudence and caution seldom seen
In our bank managers. Ned they practised a little of
these virtues last spring and the early part of the summer,
we should not have seen such • sudden sad serious
contraction. Tim accumulation of specie in our beak vaults
may look very well on piper, but it is calculated to prevent
any return to • more prosperous state of basin's. affairs.
This immense amount of specie has been drawn from the
pocket. of individuals end locked up In the vaults of our
beaky. The metallic currency of the country is lying idle in
our banks instead of cinalating through all the channels of
immicerce, giving life and staength to every local interest.
It is by no mane a favourable feature to see the banks piling
up specie in their vaults at the rate of a million dollars per
week. The annexed table exhibits the receipt of specie in
New York, Boston, sad New Orleans during the month of
November, 1867 : _

A Washington telegram says: The President
has completed his message. It is unusually lengthy,
for he discusses in an elaborate manner the currency,
our foreign relations, Utah affairs, and the Kansas
difficulties. Upon Kansas affairs the President
takes bold ground. He sustains the action of the
Kansas Convention."

William T. Tnekerman, formerly tree:rarer of the
Eastern Railroad, was arrested at New Haven on
the 29th ult, for mail robbery. His depredations
are said to have been very extensive.
The reports in the United States papers describe
a general breaking up of the late cold weather. At
Cincinnati it was mild and pleasant, while at I fetroit
the ice was thawing so rapidly that a large number
of vessels detained in the river would be able to get
into Lake Erie by the 30th ult. At Chicago and
Oswego the weather was of the same character.
The ice in the Erie Canal at Buffalo was thawing,
and strong hopes were entertained at Albany of a
re-opening between tidewater and Rochester. It is
now confidently expected that much of the produce
locked up between Montezuma and Albany will
reach the latter city.
By the Northern Light we have advice, from
California to Nov. 3, and 2,118,000 dols. in gold
dust. The Sax Francisco Herald says:

The receipt of tbe accounts of the linendal dietresseein
the east masa consderatile excitement in this city yerter-
day, which was augmented by the information that drafts
forwarded to New York en the ith September, by Sather
and Church, had been protested.
• • • • • •

Early in the day quite a run wax made upon the banks of
Welly, Fargo and Co., Talent and Wilde, Frets and Rals-
ton, B. Davidson, and l'aivott and Co., but as all demands
were promptly paid, the excitement soon ceased; and by
twelve o'clovk the miniature panic was boon at an end. Dur-
ing the day attachments were rued out against the wall
known shipping and commission house of Moon, and F,lger,
lade dealers, to the amount of 30,000 dolts. It is thought,
however, that the house will soon be able to resume, their
pretest diffieultas being only temporary, and onosaioned by
the failure of \Valens and Co., of New York. The hum. of
Moore and Folger bears a high reputation for honesty and
good bueineett, end it I. hoped that they may come out of
their troubles without serious injury.

Science has suffered a load is the death of George
It. Glidden, the well-known Egyptian scholar and
author, who died suddenly at Panama, of pulmonary
congestion, on the 18th Nov., aged about :60 years.
Mr. Gliddon was born in England, but went early
to Egypt, where his father was consul of the United
State., which office was afterwards held by Mr.
Gliddon himself.
