AS supplemental Report TO the general
causes of suspension Of specie payments, the
Committee after due examination Of the second
report Of the Bank Commissioners, cannot re-
iraio from recommending TO the Banks who
have received premiums upon their exchange
since their own suspension. Immediately npon
demand made, to refund all received over and
above the value of said exchange, and IN order
TO relieve our own community from any sacrl-
fees upon the bills OF our Banks, which may
be necessary to give them due currency in New
York and Boston, they recommend to the sew
eral Banks to receive in payment OF their own
exchange in those cities, the bills of their own
Banks, measure at once calculated TO affect
all the just purposes sf eGualizing currency.

sequent nnatious OF other States. We are now
a creditor State. aud 50 long as our fabrics are
sold and paid for abroad, SO long we are in en-
viable security. and could sustain ourselves with
perfect promptitude. But the embarrassments
Of others are directly brought home TO every
branch of our business relations.
Our Banks present an improved state OF
soundness. Their loans have not been increas-
ed there liabilities have been greatly dimin-
ished aud their circulation forms an insuffic-
lent medium of exchange and payment, even
ia our own State. Their further contraction is
not called for, and a portion Of their resources
are needed TO assist the merchants Of other cit
les. Our laboring population rest in the pros
pect of continued employment, and at this sea-
son are dependant upon their accustomed sup
plies. Our manufactures, with all possible ia
cilities c7ll hardly continue their business; for
the diminished demand for their products, warn
the owner that the line Of prudence is contrac-
ton. decline in the price of agricultural
productions must follow the general inability
to consume and the whole community, how
ever diversified in immediate objects of produc-
tion. must feel the shock, and the embarrass-
rnent will fall back upon the landed interest.
A seasonable return to specie payments is
desirable and can be looked TO with confidence !;
but any resumption which should be forced
aud premature, would incslcuable distress up
on every interest in our mutually dependent
community. The public good is the supreme
law'-and no course Of legislation which sac
rfces general good, should be resorted to by a
free people. who measure out their own sense
of Justice.

Anecdote of a Game Cock following
we'll authenticated story OF a game cock is tho
most interesting we have ever read. We have
always thought that a kind OF nobility OF ma
ture was observable in certain birds and beasts
as well as in men. The noble looking lion, The
proud horse and the bold and trusty mastiff for
instance, we look upon as if superior blood
coursed through their veins; and so we have
always viewed the game cock, who stands high
er in our estimation than the proud, tinselled,
tau5ry peacock. We have no sympathy for
your crouching spaniel, your AFFECT donkey, or
your other Ioaer quadrupeds or biPeds
The following is the interesting anecdote
which lately appeared in Bells Llle in Lon
