CUaaEScv At LAsr.-The arrival Of bullion IN mas
sss-the resumption Of specie paymeRts-the closed!
the reign of bank monopoly, are creating feelings q
confidence of the highest order which already seRn
TO be developed in every department Of business
Among the other evidences Of this new spirit we
hear that Slam Bang & Co. have determined TO or
game bank Immediately under the new Bank law.
They propose that 10 600 locofocos call meeting in
the Park, and issue Programme At once. M
The mode of getting at the purpose is novel and
original
The lowest amount of capital authorised by the
new law is sl0o.o geo in state stocks alone-or half
state stocks and half real estate morgages-a streak
of fat and streak of ean This sum is to be divided
into 600 shares of $40 each so as to allow every
leeofoco, not yet sent to the Penitenuary or Sing
Sing, to own share.
The next question is how 10 raise each his $40 TO
pay for the share-a pretty Herculean task in these
days
During the election large portion OF these locofo-
css might have been able 10 accomplish this raise,
but the temptation gin, whskey, and other liquors,
have absorbed The profits arising from the fourishing
trade of giving vote in every ward all their proper
ty remaining, undrank is at present located on their
backs in the shape of breeches, boots, hats, &C.
But as the weather is approaching the locofe-
cos say" we can get along for six months to come
very comfortambly without SO much toggery." In
pursuance of this original idea, they intend to perpe
trate deep financial operatioa-to pawn all their
spare breeches and boots, now unkimmnly" unne-
ccssary by the approach of May.
Now who will advance the funds? Some old
clothes Rothschild 10 be sure Where is he TO be
found ? Here.
The locofocos intend to raise $40 apiece on depo-
site of old breeches with Major Noah great Rothschild
pawnbrekering concern, of which he is the partner,
leader, and newspaper organ. With this $40 apiece
for 10000 shares they accumulate 500 000-then go
into Wall street and buy of Prime Ward & Co. Mich
ieaH state stocks 10 that ameunt-take those stocks
go up 10 Albany-pedge them with Mr.. Flagg-get
blank one dollar bills for sl00OO0-turn round-buy
up II ID per cent in specie basis and then 60 to
work in furnishing the "bete: currency" oft pre-
dlcted by General jackson, but realized till
now When winter approaches Of course each and
every locofoco will get his note discounted and re-
deem his breeches OF Major Nsah, the great Roths-
child in old clothes
And thus operates the new banking system

ST. MARy's FAIR IN GRAND sTRsKT.-The beauti-
full, amiable and innocent ladies, who daring the
past week. have been acting like angelsn the blest
plsy of woman here below, must have derived great
satisfaction at church on Sunday last, from the con-
seriousness that they had been carrying into effect the
precepts of the book of life and that their talent had
not been hidden in napkin like that Of tho unprodt-
able servant. Charity never faileth; it meets with
ITS reward here and lays up store Of good works in
the celestial treasury, where neither moth nsr rust
do corrupt, and where no thieves break through or
steal. As the apostle saith" knowledge puffe,h up,
but charity edeth !; and therefore It's that we took
more pleasure in visiting this fair where the sweet
they were conversng on chemistry, hydrostaucs and
mneralogy, and could exhibit albums and scrap
books full Of the abstruse learning or the most
fashionable literature.
On the left hand side Of the saloon, in Grand street.
where the fair was held, the visitor recognised the
charming Miss b. Of Broadway, as a Sister Of Char
ty, surrounded by other fair mnistenng angels. At
the table the Miss as of Monroe street invited the
stranger and in the labor Of love with bland accents
and sweet smiles; while the Post Office Department
was served by band of syrens, Observation-Disclosures
were irresistible, and whose receipts must have been
moro, proportionably, than eur ogre friend Amos
ever took into his treasury within an equal PERIOD
Among them we noticed Misses ID. F. H. s G. and
5. X. c. b. and G. c. and H., and well they offer
ated misresses OF letters and Of the arts to dis
tribute them.
The receipts, during the week, were about al ,O00
and the result Of the affair is highly eredtable
to the fair managers and advantageous TO the
objects Of their exertioas.
