The signs in the Louisiana, Maryland and Penn
sylvnnin Legislatures Indicate that coorciyo mea-
sures will he adopted for an carly resumption Of
specie payments by tho Banks. In Louisiana and
in Maryland, bills TO that effect have hoen reported
in the lower branch Of both Legislatures. In Penn
sylvnnin, Gov. Porter recommends that unless tho
banks resume by the middle Of summer their
charters be forfeited, and banks he established
There is much plnusibiIiiy in this suggestion, md
VIC are not certain, that it would not bo the best
mode Of proceeding with our own banks. The in.
sttutions now in existence, or some Of them nj least
arc SO parayzeJ by the large accommodation debt
which has been upon tho ledger so long that In,
memory Of the Oldest inhubtnnt cannot date its DO
ginning, that they are unable to aid the commercial
community-muchlc less meet their obligations in spo
Gle, BY requiring these institutions to 20 into ou
dnion, md establishing ones, tho present gene
ration would bs able to come in for share Of those
benefits and accommodations, which Banks can give
and ought TO give in aid Of legitimate commercial
pursuits. Probably itwouId he good principle, to
exact forfeiture Of Bank in every case Of sus
ponsion-to bo followed up by the immediate cren-
ton Of new institution to take he place.
But il is for tho wisdom Of tho Legislature TO de-
termine the policy Of adopting this course at tho
present time. We neither urge IT, nor oppose 1t.

.Sn9.nt Life in Gcrnnru

Is the title OF very curious and entertaining book
which we have received from Mossrs. Smith, Drin-
ket Morris. IT unfolds the mystery which has
hung over the life Of Students in the German Uni.
versitcs-of which we have had marvellous. I'm,
very mengre and unsatisfactory accounts. The life.
as detailed by this credible authority, is full Of
frolic and fun, and has about j, n charm nlmos,
poetic. Wild cnrousals, daily duels and hard
study make up the routine NJ a German Students
existence. But although they drink deep and late,
their intempernncc is not Of gross md besa char
ncter-in consequence Of the ligh, and compare
lively innocent nature Of the beverage they USE
And although ducls arc OF daily occurrence, md
sometimes twenty come OF Of morning, they nro
mere postimes md rarely cven,uutc fatally. They
employ swords altogether. and MS soon rs either
party is scratched, the seconds cry Halt, md the
combat is over. Thisis IA pleasant mode Of fighting.
The only drawback upon it, is TINT you may be
run through the midrifT before the seconds can

POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA

USr published by CARY 81 HART, Philadel-
y phia The Poets and Poetry of America, with an
Historical Introduction, by Rufus w. Griswold in
large octave volume, handsomely printed on fine pa
per, and illustrated by portraits of Bryant, Sprague-
Longfellow, Dana, and Halleck, and beautiful
vignetie.
This is the most valuable publication of the sea-
son. No collection of American poetry has ever
been made at all comparable 10 this whether re-
gard the completeness of the work or the taste dis
played in The selection. The work comprises selec-
tons from eighp-eight of our Poets, whose produce
lions are prefaced by neat biographies; and in an
Appendix contained selections from various Au-
ihors who, without pretending to the rank of Poets
have yet written occasional verses. Where the poet
has published an edition of his own works the seec-
tons are comparatively few; but where the author
has left his works ofhemseves the extracts
have been more voluminous. This is praisew orthy
feature since It preserves 10 US in collected FORM the
works of Whittier, Sprague, and others. The long
est poems of Drake, Srrague and Whittier, appear in
tins collection We dismiss this national work with
the assurance that every American who loves his
countrys muse will possess himself of an early copy
