(From Messrs. Henry Clews and Co.'s Monthly Circular.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 1868.
At the date of our list ad vices the large amount of
funds held out of circulation for speculative purposes was
being returned into the banks. About $[5,000,000 of
tied-up money was released ; with the result of a sudden
ease, extending to the close of November, during which
call loans ranged at sto 7 per cent. The panicky strin-
gency growing out of the "locking up" of currency
caused an interruption of commercial operations through-
out the country and postponed the forwarding of
products to the ports; and the restoration of con-
fidence in the money market has therefore been at-
tend d with a brisk renewal of the demand from the com-
mercial cities of the interior ; so that, at the middle of
December, instead of having money flowing in upon the
banks, we are sending currency in large amounts to almost
every section. This efflux has reduced the legal tenders
in the banks $8,400,000 within the last two weeks, and
has advanced the rate on calls to full 7 per cent., fulfilling
the anticipations expressed in our letter of the 10th ult.
As we are having virtually a November money market in
December, the influx of funds which usually occurs at the
opening of the now year is not to be expected so early as
usual ; and any decided ease in money is hardly to be
looked for until far into January. The payment of pro-
bably not less than $50,000,000 of dividends and interest
at the beginning of January will afford a freer circulation
of currency ; but the relief from that source is perhaps
usually overestimated. A really easy market is not likely
to be realized until the currency sent West for moving the
hog crop and South for the purchase of cotton begins to
flow back in settlements with those sections.

THE CAREER OF AN AMERICAN AD YEN.

7'URER.

Captain Walter M. Gibson has returned to New
York as Agent of the Sandwich Islands after a
career of adventure in the Far West and among
the Pacific Islands. Some twenty years ago, fired
by the example of Rajah Brooke, he started in his
own schooner for a cruise among the Dutch East
India islands. His negotiations, however, aroused
Dutch jealousy and his vessel was captured, and
with its cargo confiscated, and he himself thrown
into prison at Batavia. It was only through a bit of
thin paper scrawled over with strange ink and
thrown in a ball of bread from his prison that he re-
gained his liberty, for it reached New York, was
published in the papers, and attracted the attention
of the Government, who pressed the matter in Hol-
land, and an order for Gibson's trial was sent to
Batavia. The Java Government had to bring wit-
nesses from a distant coast, and the native in
whose boat they were conveyed being friendly to
Gibson capsized her, and drowned them all, so the
trial was postponed ; but he escaped through the
attachment of aMalaygirl, who furnished him with a
disguise, and he got on board a vessel bound to
America, which he reached with nothing but a claim
for a million or two from the Dutch Government,
which is pressed through the American Secretary of
State. One of his grand schemes was to transfer
the Mormons of Utah, then almost at open war with
the United States, to the island of New Guinea,
which he describes as a paradise, and the idea was
actually adopted by Brigham Young and the heads
of the Mormon Church to whom it was proposed.
The Mormons commissioned Gibson to sell the im-
provements in Utah for $5,000,000, and on the
payment to transfer the people to New Guinea.
Gen. Cass favoured the scheme, as did many states-
men at Washington ; but President Buchanan de-
clined to engage in it, as it exceeded the bounds of
Federal authority. However wild and visionary
the European reader may consider this scheme, it
is highly probable that President Buchanan's oppo-
sition foiled the establishment of this Mormon
empire. The men who had founded Utah might
well laugh to scorn such difficulties as presented
in the settlement of New Guinea. A great
friendship was formed between Gibson and Brig-
ham Young, for they were men of much the same
tone of mind, and impressed with the same ambi-
tious notions ; and so congenial were Gibson's ideas
to the Mormon prophet that be commissioned him
to visit the coasts and islands of these seas, and re-
port everything of special interest to the " saints.',
He sailed from San Francisco about 1862 for the
Sandwich Islands, where he found many Mormons
in Lanai, a lovely island 30 miles long and eight
wide, of the richest soil. Whether Gibson ever was
a Mormon is not known, but his conduct in the
Pacific drew on him the hostility of that sect, for
he managed to clear them all out, and they attri-
bute the fact to him that they have now no footing
in that ocean. Aware of this hostility, when pass-
ing through Salt Lake City the other day on his
way to New York he took care not to show him-
self to his old friend Brigham, who, we are sorry to
learn by late accounts, has been struck by paralysis.
He speaks in the highest terms of the resources
and growing wealth of the Sandwich Islands,
the rapid progress of which he at,ributes to the in-
troduction of the sugar-cane. He will soon go back,
when he intends to proceed to Singapore for coolies
to aid in the sugar cultivation.

IADVERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Ointment and Pills
Systematic Treatment.—Few statements are more wide of truth
than the assertion that for the cure of disease the ailing part
alone demands attention, whereas both local and general mis-
chief requires redress. These medicaments boldly face the evilo
they profess to remedy. Local relief and general purification
progress together, the diseased portion is cured, the foul whole
is cleansed. Holloway's ointment rubbed on the throat and
chest exercises the most beneficial influence over sore throats,
diphtheria, and cough, whether resulting from catarrh, asthma.,
c r bronchitis. This unguent acts miraculously in arresting the
extension of sores, healing ulcerations, curing skin diseases, and
completely stopping all destructive inflammation.
