RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAyMENTs-CoSpITIoN
or raE BANKs.-We have at length received, through
the Albany Argus full and particular statement OF
the condition of the banks in this city and throughout
the state The facts developed are all OF the highest
importance the public nterest-to the situation of
The country--and to the moral sense of The commu-
nity ray of light has at length been permitted 10
shed lis radiance abroad and from this ray see the
read 10 an almost certain and immediate resumption
of specie payments The moral sense of this com.
munity cannot ioerate any longer the gross outrage
inflicted on justice and integrity by any further con-
finuance of suspension of specie payments. BY
their own showing the banhs are amply able to re-
sumo next week. and unless they do prepare IN a few
days, we shall call upon the people come forth in
Their majesty, and compel these recreani institutions
by the mighty force of rightly directed public opinion,
10 be honest. and pay their obligations in specie
The following is a statement of the leading items,
bearing on this point of view, taken from the report
ms published in the Argus of last Saturday,

BY this extraordinary statement, coming from the
banks themselves, il appears that they possess the
elements of immediate resumption, IN the greatest
abundance. The Circulation for the whole state is
sl4,763530. To meet this they have specie in their
vaults amounting to 81 csc, 354 1t is probable how
ever, that by an immediate resumption, the whole
amount of this specie nearly the whole OF 1t might
be exhausted in the process of restoring confidence:
Our own opinion Is, that the very act OF resuming
would a, once restore confidence, and leave nearly
the whole of their specie hand but if should not
they possess the means to acquire mere specle-more
even than would b. sufficient, effect the purpose of
retrieving their honor.
1t appears that the total amount Of profits on hand,
possessed by these nine yslx banks is Sc 432 577.
This extraordinary has been made out of the peo-
pie of this state. 1t is fact admitted by the banks
and cannot be mistake. Why therefore ought not
these banks take the amount of their profits and con-
vert it at once into specie Less than half that
amount would be sufficient to restore public conf
dence and retrieve the honor of the state Specie at
This moment plenty, and is only six 10 eight per
cent higher than their paper. One united movement
towards rcsum pton would once destroy the pre-
MUM, and bring paper and specie on level. The
ultimate expenseo ne banks, would not be equal to
e-foulth of the profits they have made OF Of the
community which they have dshonored and dsgraced.
We and hope the banks will take this matter
into their serious consideration. The banks of this
city were The first disgrace themselves in body,
by su.pendng during the midst of ridiculous panic,
wickcdy produced by their own depostors, in order
TO speculate on bullion for exportaon IL grand
cornering operation, by which the bankers and their
confederaes profted by their own dishonesty. There
necessity for the suspension at the time it took
place 1t was produced by combination of weak
ness and Observation-Disclosures in one portion
wckedness in another. Ii was merely "part and
parcel" 4 the usury system of Wall street, and simply
great shave, in which the bankers the sharers
and the community the sharees.
We call upon the banks Of New York TO resume
They led the way in dishonor-let them lead the way
in honor. The whole country will soon follow. We
shall then get rid Of the miserable trash Of paper
ney now flooding both city and country.
Again we call upon the banks TO resume, and we
now give them fair warning, that we never shall quit
this call I'LL this dsgracefu suspension is wiped away
by honorable resumption.

DISTRESSING ACClDENT-THREE

 Nov. S.-Another dreadful accident has occurred upon our waters, which have late " become the scene of so many heart-rend- ing and appalling catastrophes. The steam- CT Monmouth left this port about d week since, laden with several hundred Indians. |, portion of the emigrant Creek tribe, as pas- sengers. In travelling up the Mississippi, through Prophet Island Bend, she was met by the ship Trenton, in tow by the steamer Warren, descending the river. It was after dark, being near eight o'clock at night, and through the mismanagement of the officers and the obscurity of the scene, collision took place between the meeting vessels, and the Monmouth immediately sunk from the violence of the concussion. Out of the large number of Indians on board, near three hum dred perished. Whether any of the crew were saved or not we have not learned. The mlshap IS ascribed chiefly to the neglect of the oflicers of the Monmouth. She was run- nlng Tn part of the stream where, by the usages of the river and the rules of the Mis- sissippi navigation, she had no right to 20. ard where, of course, the descending tow did not expect to meet her. Here is another ev- ldence ot the gross carelessness of class of men to whose charge we often commit our personal safety and precious lives.
 &AhOAhEh ACCOMPLISHMENT MO0mOutne hence for Arkansas River, run into the ship Trenton, Gin tow of steamer Warren,) on the morning of Slst Oct. at 8 o'clock. in Prophet Bend, and immediately sunk. The cabin of the boat parted from the hull, and drifted some distance down stream, when it broke in two parts and emptied its contents into the rlver. There were ell Indians on board the M.-only 300 of whom were rescued by the crews of the Warren and Yazoo. The ship lost her cut-water. The bar- keeper and a fireman were the only persons attached to the M who lost their lives.
