| pected-B business musements
JAMES Coupon BENNETT, ESQ.,
DEAR SIR
Since mine of the 7lh instant stating that some OF
our banks had resumed, we have been in The great
est state Of excitement.
All of the banks with one or two Exceptions, are
in very critical situation, and each is afraid of the
other, and all waiting with the greatest anxiety
to see what the Legislature will do in regard to
them. Yesterday morning they commenced a new
game TO get rid of the poorer bank bi!ls-they will
not now receive any notes on deposite, except their
own the Consequence of which was, that in the
morning the merchants all drew their checks as
usual, to change their deposites from one bank TO
the other, and after drawing the money, which was
paid them in the poor bank bills, much to their sur
prise, arriving at the other bank, they were told
that they did not receive any more deposites unless
in their own notes; and those who had not accounts
with every bank in the city, had to keep the money
hand and so thousands of dollars were locked up
in safes last right, and what they or the banks will
do this morning, no one can tell The banks now are
divided against themselves, and the people against
the banks and unless something is done very soon
] should not be surprised to some Of them boule
rersfres. For my part, think it will end in the
fars-up of five of the weakest banks, and when
these out of the way the rest will resume ;
at present it is impossible for them all to do it,
Business never was known so dull at this time of
the year nothing doing in our great staple Coiion
since the arrival of the news'brought by the Acadia
it has declined about I'D per pound but buyers still
keep back. Many of your spectators are here, and
will get bit this winter NEST awfully, and be apt TO
return home to look after their affairs there (none Of
which are in the best siate), pretty early in the
spring
But with all of this gloom hanging over our city,
it is as gay usual The St. Louis Society Balls
opened las. night, with great brancy, for the sea-
son.

out in very costly style at the San Carlo but is

The BAsKEUPr LAw.-This law, aslsweH known,
goes into operation in about three weeks, unless
previously repealed by Congress. The great ques-
ton, therefore, L. will il remain law OF the land
OF this there are great doubts, unless the friends OF
the measure bestir themselves with zeal and activity,
and that too Immediately yes, even to-day they
should begin, and not loose a moment.
Thus much, we say TO the citizens generally
but 10 the Representatives in Congress we say, let
the measure remain law OF the land let it be
fairly tried at least before it is stricken from the
statute book. Do not be deceived by the reception
of petition signed by few persons who are OPP
posed TO this measure, but who cannot give a really
sensible reason why they are so opposed to it.
Think of the thousands of honest and industrious
men, who are at present crushed TO the earth-who
can do nothing for themselves their families, be-
cause oi the absence of a bankrupt law and who,
ifthat law were in operation might be able to go to
work, and perhaps pay off every shilling of their
debts Therefore, we hope Congress will give it u
fair trial. and not pass law TO repeal it before it has
gone into operation. If they should do So we hope
President Tyler wIllveto the repeal law.
