BILLS AND THEIR RJDEpc

! 1t is understood, that a leading cause of the
pressure which has been experienced, in what is
ca'ied the American interest, is the monstrous in
crease OF paper; and, il his is the fact it hehoov.
every sound man OF busEess to discountenance
the system which has led to so much mischief
FOR some months past, il is known, that 4 very
large portion OF the legitimate hills which have
come from America have been accompanied with
or followed by, an additional BILL or a rider; til us
throwing into circulation al least double amount
OF bllls Tor every transaction of ie II business The
mode OF etrctlng this, we understand is for the
partles to purchase up all the Exchange they can
compass in the various cities of the United States
and to create funds for such purposes, they are
compelled to draw upon their correspondents up
on this side These bills are again sold, and in
many instances, this second class is bought up bv
ahofher party, and perhaps, paid for by similar
'XpedIent: and thus this multiplied paper is for
ced INTO circulation in this country displacnq to
great extent, the regular business bills which
have heretoIo been the medium for the mamie
nance OF a sound trade
Now what is the effect Of this vicious system :
we answer, in the first place, that it leads to II
most lnord'nate use of paper, over which 70 con-
troll can he maintained, either by the individuals
themselves, by capitalists, or by the Bank ol Eng
'"ho ana an the JOINT Stock Banks of the countrv

some shape, either directly indirectly, of cvey
person IN the empire who has any thing to lose
IN the SECOND place, while the system continues

SiR:--ln answer to the communication in your
paper OF yesterday, signed San Enquirer,n | have
only to say, that on Thursday evening when a
proposition was made for us to appear in Lafi,te.
tor the Stage Managers Benefit, stipulated that
LATTE should be played first on Saturday night.
MS 1t was of a more serious nature, and the reno
val OF the scenery less complicated than that of
The Bayadere. This was agreed to, without nny
hesitation. But on Friday evening, / perceived in
the bills, the drama was placed last. As the au-
thoress OF LATTE, had right to stipula,c with
regard to the situation and representation of the
piece My father having been consulted, and
hhdlnS there was ample time to let the public
know OF the alteration, conceded entirely with m
in informing the Stage Manager that the drama
could not be performed, unless the agrcemen,
was fulfilled
The superstition that l. for mament could har
bora thought or wish of offending or dlsappnn,-
ng the public, is most absurd, and carries with il
ITS own retutation. During the short time that |
nave been on the stage, young as | am, have
met with the mos: liberal support. 1t is TO the
public generally, tina; look, in great measure
as the architects OF my future fame and fortune:
and most amply have the New Orleans audience

the appreciation which is my object. For their en-
