THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1839

prominent is that of the Farmers' Bank of Georgia, with a
proposed capital of 14,000,000 of dollars, whilst the aggregate
of the other Bills to authorise the creation of banks which
were laid before the Legislature, amounts to between
30,000,000 and 40,000,000 of dollars. These gigantic ope-
rations in banking appear to have originated in the example
which Mr. Biddle has offered to the more northern states,
by rendering the banking transactions of the Union more
subservient to the promotion of a foreign trade in the agri-
cultural produce of the United States, and, as they proceed
in their onward course with such rapid strides, it may be well
that our pretended national financiers should rigidly watch
the progress of these important undertakings, with our limited
currency system, and the influence of our bank monopoly upon
the commerce of the old country.

POST.—The London line-of-packet ship Toronto, from
New York, commanded by Captain Griswold, arrived at
Portsmouth on Saturday evening, with dates to the 11th inst ,
or one- day later than those received by the Hibernia, the
Toronto having accomplished her voyage in the short space
of seventeen days. The New York Money Market at the
time of her sailing was in a state of calm. The preceding
week's transactions in the various canal, railway, and other
securities, would appear, however, to have closed heavily.
United States Bank Shares are quoted 119 e. Delaware and
Stor.ington bad each fallen one per cent.
The Manchester people are, we perceive by the papers,
beginning to manifest some impatience at the rise which has
taken place in the price of cotton at Liverpool and in the
United States, much of the speculative business carried on in
the article having been based upon the false, representations
cieculated respecting the crops, and on the support believed to
have been afforded the shippers by the American banks and
the agents at New York of the cotton holding firms resident
in this country. The sales last week were again very large,
and at a considerable advance of price, the purchases of more
than half the quantity being on account of mere speculators.
The Directors of th•• Mississippi Union Bank seem to have
fairly entered upon the business of merchants.
