Notice is given from the Mint, that the re-
cent disturbance in our currency is not war
ranted by facts. 1t is said that " The Spanish
silver coins, now in the United States. taken
together, are Of an intrinsic value, equal to
that at which they pass in ordinary circuIa-
tion. Ifa depOsite were made for coinage,
consisting Of Spanish dollars and the several
parts thereof, 10 that proportion ofeach which
actually prevails, the operation, it is conf.
IDENTIFY believed, would incur no loss to the
depositor." The difference, when they ex-
lists, is owing to the friction which the small
coin undergoes in long use.
A Silk Factory has been established at
Dedham, Mass. by Mr.. Edward Brown, who

sells. sofa bindings, and articles for uphOl-
sterers, which are composed Ofric1 stuifs, not

A writer in the Philadelshia Mechanics
Free Press states "ihat Stephen Girart, is
causing to be built, a block Of convenient
brick houses, somewhere in North Liberties,
which he offers to mechanics or other work
ing men, at a yearly rent that shall amount in
ten years to the cost IF the freehold, and at
the expiration Of said term, provided the rent
has been duly paid, he offers to bind himself
his heirs or assigns, tO give 10 the occupant u
deed in fee simple for the premises" The
poor have often felt the effects Of Mr.. Girard's
philanthropy; and the annals Of humanity
afford repeated proofs of his practical benev-
Olence. Charities like this, are of the wisest
and best kind, and deserve the highest COM
mendatiOn.
We learn from the Philadelphia Church
Register, that the Right Rev. Bishop Brow

the Directors Of the Missionary society 0fthe
Episcopal Church. to visit. in company with
the Rev. Frances l.. Hawks, Of New Haven,

This Episcopal tour" says the Register,
(which will be equal in extent TO the celebra-
ted journeys "f the lamented Bishop Heber
IN India, promises TO our church results SO
beneficial and extensive. as almost to exceed
computation; and the undertaking adds in
creased Mstre to the character Of the pi0us
and learned prelate who purposes to devote
himself to this good work. and to do so gra-
tuitously. At an adjourned meeting If the
Directors, on the lsth inst, this proposition
was unanimously adopted"
