(From Messrs. henry Clews and Co.'s Monthly Circular.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 1868.

At the date of our last advices the large amount of
funds held out of circulation for speculative purposes was
being returned into the banks. About $15,000,000 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 F tiln-
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 new year is not to be expected so early e 0
usual ; and any decided ease in money is hardly to be
looked for until far into January. The payment of pre''
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 AIIIERICAN AD FES,

TUBER.

Captain Walter M. Gibson has returned to NO
York as Agent of the Sandwich Islands after
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 hi°
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 throWo
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, wag
published in the papers, and attracted the attention
of the Government, who pressed the matter in Hot'
land, and an order for Gibsou's trial was sent to
Batavia. The Java Government had to bring wit'
nesses from a distant coast, and the native i°
whose boat they were conveyed being friendly !
Gibson capsized her, and drowned them all, so th;
trial was postponed ; but he escaped through tilo
attachment of a Malay girl, who furnished him with
disguise, and he got on board a vessel bound 0
America, which he reached with nothing but a clain:
for a million or two from the Dutch Governroen
which is pressed through the American Secretary °,
State. One of his grand schemes was to transfrii
the Mormons of Utah, then almost at open war Nvig.
the United States, to the island of New Guine
which he describes as a paradise, and the idea vv,
'
;
actually adopted by Brigham Young and the hets;
of the Mormon Church to whom it was propose'
The Mormons commissioned Gibson to sell the 141;
provements in Utah for 65,000m0, and on t"ii,
payment to transfer the people to New Guine_,,
Gen. Cass favoured the scheme, as did many state',
men at Washington ; but President Buchanan cied
dined to engage in it, as it exceeded the bound'
Federal authority. However wild and visiongij
the European reader may consider this scherae,o,
is highly probable that President Buchanan's opPo
sition foiled the establishment of this Morrill
empire. The men who bad founded Utah tnig
well laugh to scorn such difficulties as present
ol
iu the settlement of New Guinea. A g',
friendship was formed between Gibson and 130)
ham Young, for they were men of much the salt,
tone of mind, and impressed with the same atlv3
tious notions ; and so congenial were Gibson's ide.o
to the Mormon prophet that be commissioned
to visit the coasts and islands of these seas, and r
port everything of special interest to the ,L
sail b;
He sailed from San Francisco about 1862 for
Sandwich Islands, where he found many Mornl.°,,b
in Lanai, a lovely island 30 miles long and eleo,
wide, of the richest soil. Whether Gibson ever
a Mormon is not known, but his conduct in
Pacific drew on him the hostility of that sect, 41,
he managed to clear them all out, and they ntto
bute the fact to him that they have now no foot's
in that ocean. Aware of this hostility, when
ing through Salt Lake City the other day on ,
way to New York he took care not to show b' to
self to his old friend Brigham, who, we are sorri,i
learn by late accounts, has been struck by parail'e
He speaks in the highest terms of the resoLlrfl
and growing wealth of the Sandwich Isla0;,
the rapid progress of which he atiributes to the '4
troduction of the sugar-cane. He will soon go no
when he intends to proceed to Singapore for coo
to aid in the sugar cultivation.
