We copy the following extract from the New Or
leans Commercial Bulletin to show the with
which specie payments have been resumed in that
city.
We have made enquiry regarding the progress of
the demand on specie paying banks, and are glad TO
find that, far regular citiZ 90, it has been
mere nothing The demand however at the counter
has been in some instance brisk enough, and to what
do readers think is this to be attributed at least if
we are TO believe the accounts which reach us from
different quarters Why, though stating the matter
as we have heard, nevertheless scarcely bring
ourselves to believe ito the shameful cupidty OF
some money brokers' who, it confidently stated
have agents abroad Offering premium tor specie pay
ing paper that they may at once send II in to the
Ter. When bearing in mind the balefu workings of
conduct so deestable and mean, on the soundest
adjustments and through them on the public, by max
ing theforner curtal the circulating medium to fright
full amount-we confess we cannotsuicienty express
ind gnaten al the practice, if such by posi-
bity prevail, and we only say, whoever is capa-
BILE of being guilty of the like must be altogether
worthy the countenance of his fellow citizens whose
gered by his unworthy practices We do hope that
the voice Of universal Indignation and reprobati0n
will at once put end to such practice, if any such
really exist.
Since our last we have dates several days later from
England, which at length give the coup de grace to
the prognoscs of the financers in the North, as they
inform us that every trace of tangible embarrassment
in the monetary affairs of the country, beginning
fast to disappear So far is the National Bank from
finding herself in such position, to have to strug
gle for her own very existence that she, now at the
very time of her predicted humiliation, appears to
have not the slightest difficulty, not alone in main
tanning herself but in assisting all those in need
of helping hand. Ii will be se9n by the various
items below, that the cotton market continues TO wear
a cheering aspect, Notwithstanding the contnutd
dullness observable in the manufacturing districts.
As this omnous apparition has been fairly buried
permitted to lock little about at home, and
there also, we find matter for congratulaton. From
all parts of the Union, even from Texas, there is but
one report of the coming crop, and that Isl that we
likely have he most abundant ever witnessed
in this country which is at least guarantee OF ap
