one fourth that Of silver The miserable
device Of depreciating the coin OF the
country, in order TO make il stay mere
instead of keepingit here by economy
was of no avail. Had gold been the only
currvncy, the practical effect would have
been only fraud upon creditors, to the
amount Of 4 per cent. that is. those hn'
der the old coinage had TO receive Ger, o
tain amount of gold fora debt of VI i.Oo0'
would, under the new coinage, have re-
ccived 7 per cent less gold for the same
debt, that being the amount 10 which 'he
currency was deprecated. The effect was
precisely the same as with paper curren-
by. The United States Bank, for instance,
owed certain amount Of post notes, pay
able in lawful money, for which she ten
dereti payment in her own paper, depre-
ciatcd per cent.
Tie event of war in Europe will in-
crease the value Of gold, that being more
in demand than silver, because for militia
ry purposes it is more portable, and as
gold is the standard Of England, it will
undoubtedly create scarcity Of money;
bu, not so in France, as silver is the STAN
dard there. In this country, both gold
and silver are the standards, and if the
price of gold rises, itmust be paid for in
goods al low prices, and will be as protita1s
Bile an article Of export as cotton at high
prices, or any other produce. At this
moment, we owe Eropc scarcely any
Thing; and 10 drain the metals, claims
must be presented against the country.
Under these circumstances, to import
gold into Eurpe from this country, large
amount of commodities must be given IN
exchange, and lesser amount received
hereafter on its export. The operation.
Therefore, cannot but be profitable, and is
no cause Of alarm. eyceplto speculative
banks, whose toltering credit depends up,
on the possession Of certain amount Of
coin. which they owe, and are afraid it

Mock AUCTION SwINDLING, IN A NEW
sTYLE.-A countryman, who went TO
New York from Buffalo, while passing
along Chatham street, had his attention
attracted by an auction, and went into the
store where it was going on. A lot OF
penknives and other articles were ''gong,
going" at The moment he went in, and,
as usual, one Of the Peter Funks recon-
mended him to purchase the lot, as it
was so uncommon cheap. Fne country
man accordingly bid "a for the articles,
and they were knocked down to him, and
he handed IS bill in payment, which
the clerk in the store took up, and then
asked hin, had he not any other IS bill,
as the first looked rather suspicious.
The countryman accordingly showed.him
another s5, which the clerk also took pos
session Of and then told him that the ar
iiclcs came to S33, as he had bought q
much larger quantity than lie supposed.
The count:yman dcmurrcd TO the demand,
and wss about 10 leave the store and seek
redress, when middle-aged man, Of re-
spectacle appearance, but who was also
Peter Funk, came up 10 him, and whis-
pcred 10 him by all means to pay for the
goods, and that he would take one half of
them at ali advace Of five per cent, on the
auction price. On this assurance, the
countryman paid the s33, and took away
the goods, and accompanied the person
who offered to take h:lf Of them, to. his
store, which was also in Chatham street.
After they arrived at the store, the man toLi
the countryman that he was sorry to find
that there was no money in his store to
pay for the goods, but at the same time
tclu him that they were SO very cheap that
he could not fail Of making money by
them, ard urged the countryman TO 60
along with him to another auction room,
where the articles could be sold at great
profit. The counlryman adopted the sug-
geslion. and the man carried him TO an
other mock suction sture, also in Cha
ham street, where there was an auclion
going on, and introduced him 10 the auc-
tioneer, and told the latter the country
man had LOT of goods which he wished
to have sold, off hand. The auctioneer
Immediately took the goods, put them up
for sale, and after resolving three or four
bids, knocked them down for SO, and the
purchaser paid for Them and carried them
away. The countryman expressed his as
lonishmcnt to the man who brought him
there, and the latter pretended to be still
more astonishcd, hut cody told him he
must make the best of a bad bargain, and
wished him good morning and wsn! away.
Tie auctioneer then paid him 80, minus
his commission, and the coun,ryman, who
by this time perceived that he had been
swindleI came to the police Office. and
told his story. But as he, in the frstin-
stance, had paid for the goods, and taken
them away, and sold them On his own &C,

to pat up with the loss Of a24.
