~ IL is Ion, time since you have received com
muncation from the city Of Fins, few lines the
state of nggers, philosophy, morality literature and
the ladies may not be unacceptable.
Cinguez and his companions daily fattening
up, and appear to enjoy the opening of spring
zingly. They have learned English enough TO call
for "baccar" and "pennies," Of both of which they
receive plentiful supply. Their instructors have
been busy the whole winter in drumming the alpha-
bet into their thick heads, and undoubtedly by the
time the Supreme Court has decided their they
will be abundanty qualified to 60 amongst their CO.
lored brethren, a. missionaries Of Abolition. Parson
Ludlow has expressed a desire to accompany them,
and every person is hoping that his desire may be
gratifed. Col Pendeton set the whole company
TO work cleaning the street, short time since,
but they proved stupid troop, that he gave it up
as a bad job.
The winter has been unusually quiet-no parties,
balls or anything else TO stir up the people, and
the ladies have almost died with ennui. But the
spring opened under mere favorable auspices. The
Baptists. Methodists, and Ludlowites, are having
| great revivals. and doing an immense business; and
all the learned. beautiful, and gay are attending
COmbc's lectures on pnrenology. Inc worthy pro-
fcssor himself is delighted with the character of his
audience. and the prospect Of pocketng thousand
dollars by twelve lectures. But step with me INTO
the lecture room.

figure Of Silliman (himself the prince Of lectures)

Mn. BEs,rrr-
sn-Mr. Biddle is not the author Of the piece in
the National Gazette Of Saturday, TO which YOU re-
cor,.tb.r i. Il the manifesto Of the Bank Of the
Halted States as YOU assert On the contrary, j
yell know that the doctrines and sentiments there
in contained are at entire variance (as far as imme-
date or speedy resumption is concerned) with the
opinions cnte rtained both by Mr.. Bdde and the Dr.
reetors ofthe Bank.
IL matter of notoriety, that the author OF the
niece in question, is Mr.. Henry c. Carey, OF this
c;,v and that the signature attached TO II, " Hami-
TON is the one for many years used by his father,
the yeneral lie Matthew Carey, now deceased.
You are eorrest in your assertion, that the Banks
az this eitv mark all the large checks good IN
stead Of paying out bank notes for them-but you
om, 20 state what Is the fact that for all checks OF
moderate amounts the bank notes are paid when re-
quired.
You are. however, utterly in error, when you say,
that these checks marked COED, are valueess, be-
cause they are not taken by other banks in payment
Of notes.
Tbcre are sixteen banks in this city and county,
each one Of these banks, with one exception, tthe
Farmers and Mechanic takes the checks of all the
others. when marked good in payment Of all notes
and obi cations due them.
Each one ofthese banks also, take all each others
checks marked "good" Except those Of the United
States and Grard) on deposit.
The United States and the Girard Banks, take
each others checks marked good !" both in payment
and deposit, and also take in the same manner all
the checks Of all the other fourteen banks.
There is, therefore, very little practical inconve-
pience experienced by the mercantile community
on this head and a. to your assertion that there is

the Herald, doubt these facts, let him get person
to call at this Office and satisfy the rascals of the
accuracy of the statement. We publish these
figures for tho purpose Of vanity but TO shew the
public that The popularity, influence and power OF
the Herald founded on the most immutabls prin-
ciples of truth and Justice BY that system OF COM
bination of fundamentally of labor-comprehen-
siveness Of purpose, and independence OF all SIMS
ter influences, which gave the /" London Times" the
reputation of being the leading journal of Europe"
so is this journal becoming the leading journal OF
America" Every paper in this city, while they
outwardly attack course and question our prin-
eipes, is trying to initiate reports and style of
writing, and to copy after our unrivalled massage
ment. But they want the spirt-the soui-the
genius to carry out our principles. They are only
dead carcasses, starting up for few weeks from
their graves Of obscurity, by transient stream of
the galvanic fluid shooting across their nerves Vi
tality only exists in the Herald.

REDUCTION OF WAGEs-PRoGsEss OF THE CRI-
ss.-The financial measures of the rascaly banks,
and the bloodhound administration, arc beginning
to be felt with great intensity among the laborers,
evedores, and riggers, besides many others OF a
like description Of society in this pisus city.
During the last fortnight, great struggle has ex-
isted between the employers and employees on this
very point The employers assert, that under the
present difficulties, caused by the banks and the
government, they must reduce the daily wages OF
labor from fourteen shings to twelve for riggers,
and from twelve to ten for laborers. To this pro-
position the latter refuse TO accede, asserting that
though the price Of -four has fallen yet rents fuel
and provisions as high as ever
How is this difference to be reconciled Who is
TO give way first
The poor man cannot conveniently reduce the
price Of his labor, till all other commodities are re-
duced in a like degree lie has family, and they
ought not to starve In such struggle-n the midst
Of diieulties produced by the selfish, unwise, and
mad measures Of the general government and the
banks, conjointly and severally, we would advise
the EMPLOYER and those he employs not 20 quarrel
not 10 iniure each other by i'll bood-but to submit
10 the inc yitable results Of crisis which the inia
nous politicians and bankers have brought upon
the country Let them split the diference-let wages
be reduced to l3 shilling. per day for rggers, and
IL shilings for laborers-and then let all unite "a
produce further reduction in rents Of small house.
and apartments-in lowering the prices Of provi-
sions, and in cutivatng economy, prudence and in
dustry.
The times are sadly out Of joint. We want a
shaDge somewhcre-a change in the fountain head
Of public Affairs change in the government. We
nav then become better-ve cannot be worse.
