FROM THE MEDrrERRANEAN.
E31HACTofG letter to Ills friend in this
City, from an officer on board tie Fri
gaze United Ssafes-Dated
Gibraltar Bay, Dec. 70, 1871.

OiCraiter bay, Dec. ~, 1915.
arrived at TINS place five DAYS ago
from Port Mahon, in the Island of Minorca.
l have been no higher up the Straits than
Port MAhon Cor which place we shal sail
in few days } and have seen nothing Curl
Gus or worthy of notice: the Spanish towns
are generally dirty, and the inhabitants SO
very poor, that even the Governors can
not aft rd mess of any kind of meat more
than once a week. When we sailed from
Mahon, 1t was with the intention of going
TO Carthagena, for the purpose of ascer-
talning the cause or causes OF their refusing
to give to the Algsrines the Brig captured
by Com. Decatur. A head wind, howev-
er and boisterous sea frustrated our views
IN case of her not being given up. an Of
fieer was to have been sent to the King at
Madrid. Since our arrival here, we have
learnt indirectly, that she has been /, stored
to the Algerines.--We shall, however, in
our passage to Mahon, where we intend
winterng, touch at that place in order to
ascertain the f.ct.
In the spring. we shall go further up
the sea, where shall have an opportunity
OF visiting Naples, Toulon, &c.
The hresenf Dey of Algiers is repre-
sentt d to be man of fine talents and great
humanity-every. thing i'll that quarter is
perfectly quiet"

BANK CHARTERS.

The question has been put and the
Legislature has set its face against the
Mammoth-Bill that was before it. The
fifteen ne7y Banks are not to receive Char
ters.
Many acts have taken place during this
session of the Legislature, which calls forth
our thanks. They have created Fund
for Internal Improvement and we thank
them for it. They have taken up the sub
JeCt OF rivers and roads with an enthusi
asm which does them honor. They Shave
passed more Turnpike laws than at any
session within our remembrance. They
Will do much for the opening of the James,
the Roanoke and the Rappanannock Riv-
ers. Ihey have set their seal upon The
illogical Chartcr-And now, they have vo-
ted out an attempt. an earnest and able
attempt, to usher fifteen new Banks into
existence
While most of her sister States are Sci
zed with the bank-mani1, Virginia stands
her ground. While charters are rising
up on all sides ofus, we use this very Cir
cumstance not to incite but to restrain u.s.
Instead OF catching the malady, we see &
avoid it the more.
II ever there was moment to pause i'm
the multipl cation of banks, to wait for
better times, to aid the old banks i'm retur-
ming to gold and silver, and to prevent
new ones from bursting into light. that mo-
ment has come. We have already too
much fiaf1er what we want, is the pre-
cious metals. Is this the time to throw
more paper out; & to distribute the frag
ment OF precious metals. which is in the
country, among more banks, more compe-
utors The country is already laboring
under paper plethora, and yet we are
asked to increase tive are staggering
under load OF paper and it is sought 10
releve 1t By putting on more-Osss upon
rehon, and Pelion upon Ossa.-What is
most to be desired, is, that the old banks
should obtain more specie, that they may
the sooner pay it out.-And yet we are
called on to create new drains for the specie
which they hold, and in the same proper
ton to delay the opening Of their vaults.
M time SO bad as the present. Geor-
g1a has just Incorporated State Bank
n. Carolina added 81 600, 0O9to the Banks
OF NeWeern and Cape Fear.-Ihe District
Of ColumbIa is now on her knees for more
Maryland has just chartered a consolida-
ted Bank OF one nillion--N. Jersey has Sc
verdl on the tapis-New-Y York asks for IA
| millions more fcapital-Kentuckyis about
to set up the Farmers Bank Of several
bracchcs-l0 new ones before the Legs
latIure OF Ohio. Not to speak OF the u. S.
Bank of SIS or so millions.
Let us first set the Old Banks right, and
then thiRk OF new ones. Otherwise, if we
charter more banks, & compel the old to
pay specie, we but endanger the old to
MAKE cut the new. We but strip Peter to
pay Paul.
Wh.n times are mended, when the old
banks pay out gold and silver. several of
the Is Banks may seek and receive chart
ers. In the mean time, let us wal, patient
| ly, and be little more discreet tn an some
of your neighbors.
1t is the right of every citizen, to at
tempt to change the laws--it is his frs,
