 Small Bins.-One dollar bills are becom- ing more plenty in this vicinity than usual, on account of the scarcity of specie, and they pass almost as readily as silver dollars.- They are now the most useful denomination of bills in circulation, and are furnished to us by the Massachusetts and Rhode Island banks, mostly. The people wish for small bills, and are determined to have them; and unless the Legislature repeal or suspend the law prohibiting our banks from issuing them, there is determination on the part of many to bring into this State, by the wholesale, Massachusetts ones and two's. Small bills we must and ,oiN have, and if the Legislature will not allow our banks to furnish them, then we shall get them from other States The people wiH receive them, and they aoW pass them, all legislation to the contrary not withstanding.-H Courier.
 The School Fund-We learn from the Re- port of the Commissioner of the School Fund, which was laid before the Legislature few days since, that the sum divided to each scho- lar in the State has increased to $l l5. Pre- vious to this year the sum has never exceed cd one dollar and ten cents.-ibd.
 The Progress. very much doubt whether the existing pressure bears so heavl- ly in any other place in the United States, in comparison to our population, as 1t does in Newark, owing to the suspension of our ex- tensivc manufactorics, and the discharge of the vast number of workmcn hitherto employ ed in them. The difficulties experienced for the want of money and the means ot living, are making sad havoc with the morals of men. The person who is destitute of the ne- cessaries of life, breaks over law and con- science, and steals from his neighbor, under cover that necessity knows no law. But short time since, an OK was slain and one half carried off-since then, Cow has been served in the same manner-stili more re- gently, a Calf only three days old was stolen from its mother, and a field of potatoes just planted have been dug up and carried off, gross of crime under our present difficulties.

 Pet Banks of Ahe Kitchen Cabinet, the first 10 stop payment !-The Lowell (Mass.) Courier, May g, has the following damning facts:
 It is little remarkable, that in erery place the stoppage of specie payment has begun 'n States Uhere they haue had the control Ofthe State institutions. Without acting upon one anoth- CT, it commenced in New Orleans, Mississip- pi, Tennessee, Alabama, and New-York, ale most simultaneously. In every one of these States, the administration have had large ma- jorities, and conducted affairs their own way. In every instance where the Wings had the ascendancy, the stoppage did not take place till after they were compelled to do so by the stoppage in other States L.et these facts 6e de- nied, # they can De. The banking system has been sound, and at this day would probably have remained sound in euery Whig StGte, but for the explosion in the Tory States. The mere paper currency is theirs. They brought it upon the country-they are accountable for its mischiefs. The Wings are for cur rency, in all cases, founded on specie ba- sis, which issues in such moderate amounts, that every note shall be worth its face in spe- cie. Let the country choose between the systems.
 An illustration of the wisdom of the cur fency tinkers A gentleman, Ga Director of one of the Vermont Banks,) arrived in town on Saturday morning with l4.OOC dollars in small notes of the Bank of Bennington, which he readily disposed of at two and half per cent premium for city money the city mo- ney he invested in the larger notes of the N. England Banks at two per cent discount, and on Saturday afternoon took the boat for Bos- ton, and at 10 this morning, deposited the a. ,,co.,of in nld Saaffnlk af a urnfst of aho,,.
