THE LONDON Posi- CFFlcE DEPARTMENT
(says Willis, m 4 recent L.uer to the National
lnelligenres) has Isl ued special edci against
the "Brother Jonathan and New Word" news.
p,per-. communicated IN the proprie,ors a few

knew sumo time ago, that Mr.. Hume, member
of PARLIAMENT, had subscribed for the "i,rolhcr
Jonathan" expressly stating that he did II to see
whether it would cnme through will, all iIs lit.

and their extras are now declared c"ntraband,
and can pass no British frontier or customs, ex.

SPECIE Below PAR.-Much Inconvenience
is experienced BY the late AMI somewhat sudden
resolution uf the banks tn refuse Spanish quar-.
tiers, shiilings and sxpences, except al the rates
ni % cents for the former, and 10 and . cents
for the latter.
The deportation of these coins, by long use
and wear. and in sumo instances by being sweat.
ed, has led to this determination.
| The banks are furnished we are told with
good supply Of American small coins, and pay
hut no others, 81 that soon these will fill the CIR

The holders of the Spanish small coin, of
whom, by the .hye. the banks are the largest by
far, will have to pu: up with loss between what
hey received these CONS Tor and what they now
pass for.
As these coins are not lawfully current by
ale, but only by weight or fineness. there is no
remedy for this oss.-N Y. American
| A CAPITAL PLAN.--In these DAYS Of economy
every e1pedient is resoried To for the saving Of
expense. A. Pittsburgh the hotel keepers are
about to adopt aInesneric plan for feeding theil

So says an exchange paper The gentleman
who supcrintends the dinner will meslnerize al
the diners, and then ca, splendid dinner him
self, in which all, through mesmeric sympathy
, will partake; one dinner will thus satisfy hun
