MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

The Money Market was rather easier to-day ;
there was not so much pressure for accommodation,
and although we cannot rot:ce a change in the
rate of discount, there is evidently a more cheerful
tone iu monetary circles. It is stated that
several banking houses have refused to
receivo money at 51 per cent , a proof that they
are for the present well supplied with cash. The
arrival of geld from Aus'talia and the %Vest Indies
amounts to nearly £600,000 Ihe Bank-r's Circular
of to-slay has a long article on the state of the
market, from which we extract the following :--
The charac'er of the Indian news in a financial point
of view has tended to increase the difficulty, the Bank of
Bengal having been compelled, for its own safety, to refuse
advances upon the East In is Company's bitls, and the
exchange having risen to 2s. 31cl , an increased demand for
silver w.ll be the probable result. The advises from New
York by the last steamer down to the Ist of October, are
rather more encourag'ng as far as the condition of the
Banks of New York are concerned, but the crisis has be-
come so extensive in its ramifications as to render it doubt-
ful whether any speedy recovery of confidence will be ob-
tained. At the convention held by the bankers in New
York it has been deci ed to extend their line of discounts
to the amount of 3 per cent. upon their present aggregate ;
but although this may afford partial relief, it cannot stem
the tirrent of depreciation which has fallen upon the
various securities afloat in the market at New York; for
it is stated that Bills on London are unsaleable, an i that
the excharge has fallen as low as 05 per cent. While this
state of things lasts, the London money market must
remain in a position of inquietude, as the movements of
bullion will be actively employed to rectify these extra
ordinary changes. With regard to affairs in India, the
difficulties are such as can only be met in England. We
have frequently called attention to this question ; and the
last intelligence confirms our cpinious more strong!), than
ever, that a lean ought to have been contracted by the
Government ere this, for it is folly to suppose that after
the financial bungling in India about the last loan, a
sufficient amount could not be obteined in India to meet
the emergency. With the East India Company's paper
at from 50 to 80 discount, and Indian Government
securities at upwards of 20 per cent. discount, any such
attempt wou'd be a specimen of the most egregious folly
deserving general condemnation. Tne contraction of a
loan, under any circumstances, ought to bo entirely uncon-
nected with the East India Company, as a corporate body.
It is impossible that the future government of India
can be allowed to remain in its hands; therefore, any
financial transactions that are entered into should be
perfectly free en the part of the British Government, if it
be intended that India shall be henceforward governed
upon constitutional principles. There must be no yi.lding
to those private influences which are ever at work, to
support a system of patronage and power at so critical a
period in the history of our Indian Empire ; but the whole
suhject must be grappled with by a spirit of independence,
which nothing can overthrow.

The Market I.)r the Public Funds and Securities
to-day, was very buoyant at the commencement of
bu iiness, and many transactions occurred at an
advance of 1 per cent on the pries of yesterday.
When the prices had attained their highest point,
however, a Eudden and unexpected change took
place in consequence of a leading broker having
come forward and supplied the market very
liberally with stock. It is sail that he disposed
of 100,00,01. Coesols for money. and 1.50,0001 for
account Of course this produced a violent shock,
and the advance established early in the day, viz.
a half per cent., was completely lost. Owing to the
nature of the speculative operations, the market ap-
peared steady after this deolension,butat other times
a fall of 1 percent., under such circumstances, would
not hie been deemed extraordinary. No opinion
with regard to the future tendency e f the market
can be formed until further intelligence from
America is received, because the news relative to
the state of the money market there will no doubt
produce an important alteration one way or the
other. ConEols gradually rose to 894 for Money, and
891 to 89/ for Account, but they subsequently fell
to 881 and 89i respectively. Still later the prices
were for November 10. h 881 EBl. The New Three
per Cents. were 88i 884, and the Reduced 881
Exchequer Bills were fis. to 4s. discount, and the
small bonds 98 to 981 Bank Stock was firm at
.213, and East India Stock was about 209 to 210.

Respecting the movements in Mines during the

Transactions took place yesterday in bar silver at
an advance in p;ice, owing to the a3tivity of the
demand for shipindnt by the Indus, which is ex-
pected to take out fully 800,0001. Nearly the
Whole of this is for India, the proportion destined
for China being unusually small, in consequence,
chiefly, of the non-arrival of any China mail.
Meanwhile the imports of continental silver con-
tinue very extensive. Upwards of 100,0001 worth
arrived in the Thames on Thursday, per the
steamer Baron Osy from Antwerp, and Rhine,
from Boulogne. 'The remittances against these
supplies cheek the improving tendency of the con-
tinental exchanges,

The imports of the specie this week amounted to
upwards of one million and a halt; :—By the
Rainbow, from Rotterdam, 32 cases bullion ; the
Brenda, from Constantinople, 1 group specie; the
Norma, from Constantinople, 2 groups 1 ease specie ;
the Dolphin, 40 cases 60 bags bullion ; the Panther,
from Boulogne, 40 cases of silver bars; the Berwick,
from St. Petersburg, 9 cases specie, 60,0001; the
Persia, from America, 2001; the California, from
Sydney, 16,0001 in sovereigns; the Red Jacket, from
Molbourne, 264 000/ ; tha°Siene, from Boulogne, 42
cases bullion; the Royal Charter, from Melbourne,
24,000 sovereigns and 84,000 ounces gold, or
360,3001; the Medway, from the Brazils, 1,2901;
the Siene, from Boulogne, 26 cases bullion ; the
Baron Osv, from Antwerp, 80 eases bullion ; the
Omar Pasha, from Sydney, 3,0001; the Albion, from
Boulogne, 40 eases bullion ; the Vesta, from Oporto,
1 bc.x silver coin.

The exports same period were about 600,0001. ;
by the Tyne, for the Brazils, 17,6501, of which
8,0001 was in gold ; the Celt, for the Cape of Good
Hope, 105,0001.; the Astralasian, for Malta, Egypt.
&0., 30,3201.; the Baltic, for New York, 73,000 ;
the Orinoco, for the West Indies, 19,130/ , of which
8,0001. was in silver.

The official return of the experts of the precious
metals from the port of Londsn, for the week
ending 9'..h Ostober, shows a total of 39,170 ozs.
of cold and 5;200 oz 3. of silver.
In the London Produce Markets this week,
general dullness has pievailed, in consequence of
the further advance in 'the rate of discount, the
advices received by the Overland Mail having
diminised the speculative inquiry for the various
articles from the East, which have lately fetched
such enhanced rates. Sugar has been almost
neglected, and the various parcels open were
principally withdrawn, the remainder finding
buyers at a decline of 2s to 3s per cwt. Yesterday,
however, there was rather more inquiry at the above
reduction, particularly for floating cargoes. A good
private business has been transacted in Ceylon
Coffee, but the public sales went off without much
animation, at 2s to 2s 61 lower rates The demand
for Tea is flat, but a parcel of China found buyers
at fair prices. The immense quantity of Rice
offered has partially caused depression, and a fall
of 6d to Is is noticeable in nearly all descriptions.
The few transactions in Saltpetre were at lower
rates. The quarterly sales of Indigo have pro-
gressed steadily, and good to fine shipping quali-
ties have fully supported the advance previously
paid by private treaty.
During the past week business has been very
dull in Leeds. Few buyers were in the market,
and the purchases effected had been confined to
absolute requirements. At Bradford the demand
for wools had been limited, spinners, owing to the
continued high prices of the raw material, refraining
from purchasing. In Piece Goods scarcely any
business had been trans acted, and prices remained
unaltered. Business at Halifax had been almost
at a standstill, but prices continued firm. In
Manchester no transactions of importance had
been entered into. Printing Cloths, Sheeting, and
Domestics were altogether neglected, and but little
attention took place in prices.
Business in the North of Ireland is in a very
satisfactory state. While the great monetary and
commercial mutations in Great Britain and the
United States produce well nigh unparalleled ex-
citement and apprehension in other quarters
Belfast is comparatively unmoved. We hear of
houses gone down by twos and threes in Eng-
land, and by scores in America; but there credit
is stable,' commercial and manufacturing firms
are in full activity, and the soundness of trade is
attested by the fact that first-class paper can be
discounted at Of in the Banks, and that the interest
on deposits is only 3i. Much interest is, no doubt,
attached to the aspect of affairs in England, and at
the other side of the Atlantic; but it is more the
attention of spectators than of persons directly
interested or likely to be involved iu the
crashes that are taking place. The demand for
accommodation by the local houses is not larger
than could have been expected ; and, on the.
whole, trade affairs proceed much as usual. The
Flax Markets have been quiet all the week, and we
notice easier prices. Parcels of hand-seutched
sold at 5s 31 to 5s 63 for common; and at 6s to 7s
for good to flue ; while milled fetched 7s to [is in
the range of quo- ations. Yarns were dull yesterday,
and few sales were effected. Wefts were lower ;
but no change can be noticed in warps. The sale
of brown linens has, of course, been affected by
the crisis in America ; and the week's transactions
at the public markets of Ulster havebeen much under
the lowest point reache 1 within the last five years.
Production at present is pretty large ; accumula-
tion of goods will consequently take place in all
eases where makers can hold over their stocks.
The present sad state of affairs in America, it is
expected, will produce much less of *evil than had
been anticipated. White linens have been very
quiet during the week. A fair trade, however.
marked the comae of business thrcughout the
Summer and Autumn, and bleachers can pretty
well afford to stand upon agreement.

&telt s luring the wee:c pr:o- to th3' e. We now extract
the following from :In same j which says : —We

the present time than an account of all the financiEl
troubles of Phil9delphit since banks began to be an
affliction In this view we have prepared the following

tacky and Missouri, made efforts to sustain the measure. In
Philadelphi,, it was thoug' t by tl,e officer., of those in=titations
that the tesurcpeon wa pretrattro, an] that it could not be
sustained; but in order to forward the otj c: th y agreed to
aid in it, and did pay spece upon that day, and they al o lent
what is istance they could to enable Soa horn and We-tern
banks to resume also. It was c'aimed that this was a Wll4
measure ; and the resumption was celebiat d on the 13. h of
Angus', on the banks of the Wiest,h ckon by members of the
Whig party, by a dinn-r, public ep, aking &c.

THE SUSPENSION or OCroßsa, 1339.—0 a the 9th of
October, 1839, the Bank of the United Stites suddenly
stopped specie payments—a meisure which was irnmed'ately
imitated by the other batiks cf the ci y, and became general
throughout tLe State and in the Sou kern and Western
States. Tee law agl st the passage of small notes he:ng in
op;ratioa, coin was paid fir all drafts nuder five dollars, in
consequence of which there was an immediate tun on all the
banking institutions for small sums. Over one hundred
thousand dollars were paid out, wle n ell payments ceased. The
ban';s, it is now kno.vn, were compelled to take this course in
consequence of the ins.ol.vrney of the Bank of the United
S ates—a cendit o I that was not then suspected. The
reasons then assigned for the measure were that the resump-
tion of 1838 had been premature, and acquiesced in by the
Philadlphia banks when they were unable to sustain it. The
banks of the !south and West, it was urged, paced by earl.*
resumption in advance of the crops on which they depended,
gave way before the demand for specie. The commercial
condition of exchange between the United Stater and Europe
caused a heavy drain of coin to pay our foreign debt, to satis-
fy which enormous drafts were made upon the Southern and
Western banks. These reasons were perhaps a, plausible as
any which could be assigned, and they were acquiesced in by
the community. GoN, raor Por, er, however, p omptly
intrr-
pos^d to prev;nt the issuing of small notes, by a notification
that all Rho thus violated the law should be punished. This
warning had a good effect, and, al hough specie was somewhat
scarce, it was not entirely banished from business, as had been
the case during previous suspensions.
FAILURE OF TICE SCHUYLKILL BANK.—Scarcely had
the excitement rnl confusion caused by this mea ure
subsided, when the community were shocked by the failure of
the Schuylkill Bank. This result was brought about in eon-
segue- nee of legal proceedings instituted by the Bank of K-n-
-tucky. On the 18th of December an injunction was issued,
and the Scl-ffylkill Bank closed its doors. Ia appeared that
Hosea J. Levis who, for many years, had been Cashier, and
eh )rtly before h d been elected President, had for a long time
been seing fiadulently in the application of the trusts
n his bends. The G:and Jury made a pre,.entmort,
c''arging him with pe jury, forgery, and e contpiracy to defraud.
He had fraluently issued more than thirteen thousand shares
of ;he Kentucky B. nk, of which iesti ution the Schuylkill
Bask w; s agent. The directors also discovered that he had
burred a large number of shares of Schuylkill Bank stock,
without buthority or accoun,irg- for the proceeds ; that lie had
issued post-notes to a large amount, taken special deposits for
his own tve, and committed other crimes—the total amount of
his peculatioas on the Bank, in addition to the issue of the
Kentucky Bank stock, am( unting to 393,183 dols 87e. Levis
fel to Europe, but was even•ually brought back, to be
allowed to go wilrout punishment. The question detween
the Kerauc:y Bank and the Scl uylkill Bank was strongly
litigated. The latter mainta-ned that Levis personally was
agent for the Bank of Kentucky, and that the Schuylkill Bank
was not responsible for his frauds. was insisted on the other
side that the Schuylkill Bank `was the agent, and responsible
for t'.e frauds of the cashier. The letter position was finally
decided to be correct ; and the Schuylkill Bank, after having
paid its note-holders and the Bark of Kentucky, had no assets
far the stockhelders.

MEASURES TO COMPEL THE BANK'S TO RIVUME.—The
suspension of specie payments by the banks was not favoured
by the .S•ate administta'ion. Goy. Porter, although hesi-
tating to press the for Nture of the charters of those institutions,
was not disposed to permit the Eu-pension for a longer period
than was absolutely necessary. lie called the attention of
the Legis'ature to the matter in his Message at the opening of
the session of 1840, and reeilnmended the adoption of stringent
laws in relation to the business of banking. The banks of
Philadelphia, by address present...d in February, declared that
they could not with safe y resume before the Ist of Faeuary,
1841. The Beard of Trade seconded these representations,
but the L-gleature in Aptil passed a law directing a resumption
of payments on the 15th of Jan., 1841, under very severe
penalties. During the monetary difficul y the city had been
receiving depreciated paper in payment of dues and taxes, and
paid its indebtedness in the same description of currency. In
Januaty. 'Horace Blnny sent to councils a communication,
stating that he was owner of 20,000 do's city loans, notice of
an intention t', redeem which had been given. He declared
that while he did net require payment of the amount, be would
rec ire nothing but specie or its equivalent in settlement ; but
I o avowed hinise'f willing to re,loan the money to Councils
in such a manner as would be conven'ent. The Finance Com-
mittee, to whom tie subject was referred, reported that there
was a large fund on hand, accumulated in the usual manner of
business, and in the currency common during the suspension ;
but, inasmuch as there were some obi. ctions to the payment of
loans in that manner, it was recommended that those who were
unwilling should be permitted to renew the loans on interest,
redeemable on one month's notice. This policy was adop'ed.
On the 25 h of June, Councils adopted a resolution to pay all
interest in specie.
THE RESUMPTION, JANUARY 15, 1841.—0 u the 15th of
January, 1841, according to the directions of the resumption
law of April, 1840, the banks of Philadelphia recommenced
specie payments. There was a feeling of distrust in the com-
munity, and large quantities of coin were drawn from those
institutions. The Bank of the United States was considered
to be in a more doublul condition than Ike others. On the
4th of January, a statement of the condition of the Bank of
the United States had been prepared, presented to a meeting
of stockholders, and published, which attracted attention and
excited suspicion of the solvency of the institution. In that
account the bank notes in circulation were stated to amount
to 9.336,000 dole. 90c., and the post-notes to
1,887,658 dole Dc. The sum due to depositors was
3,164,3.54 dole 50c., witlicut etubracing the post-notes. It
was evident that immediate demands might be made upon the
bank by note-holders and deposi ors for over twelve millions
of dollars. To pay this there appeared by the statement to
be but 2,171,722 dole. 97c. of specie funds in the vaults cf
the batik, and of notes of State Banks, 1,148,101 dole. 93c
A doubt whether the bank could sustain a run upon it seems
to have been indulged in by business people. Added to this,
there were items among the assets which were supestive ct
great losses. The value of stocks posse.ssed by the bank was
stated to be 31,665,553 dols. 63c. at par, but the stock
market being much depreciated, it was evident that large
losses would ensue if those securi ice were forced to a sale.
The total amount of the assets was rated at
74,603,142 dole. 46c., whilst the liabilities, including the
capital, were 71,9.59,539 dols 63c., leaving an apparent
surplus of 2,643,602 doll. 83c.
