daily payments made in the country. 1t is
difficult TO estimate il, and quite impossible
to ascertain il with any accuracy. But we
can form some notion of it by the daily
amount of payments in the banks in some
of the cities. In times of prosperous bu-
siness and commerce the daily amount of
has been equal to eight millions. Whether
we call this tenth, a twentieth, or fiftieth
part Of all the payments and receiptsmado
daily in the country, we sec TO what an ag-

how is it possible that such amount of re-
ccipt and payment could be performed by

an actual passage of gold and silver from
hand TO handl
"Such notions, hardly require serious ref.
utation."
From letter recently published by HAMEn
STANsFIELp, Esq. of Leeds.
Gold and silver simply constitutes the
petty cash of the country, and the idea of
carrying on the foreign trade exclusively
with it would be as absurd as if mer-
chant were to attempt to carry on his bu.
siness with his petty cash only.
at has been given in evidence before q
committee of the House of commons that
no less a sum than one thousand millions
annually is exchanged by twenty-eight
only of the principal London bankers at
the Clearing groom, and all the gold and sill
yer wanted to effect this enormous ex-
change is about ECO day. Here is petty
cash indeed!
"As it is with the individual so it is with
the nation, which is simply number of in
dividuals; and that the coin of the country
is merely its petty cash, will be palpable
when we learn from Mr. Jacob (who wrote
on the precious metals) that the whole
amount of coin is only thirty millions, 10
carry on trading transactions that must
amount to many thousand millions. How
many thousand millions it would be impos-
sible to say, but guess may be hazarded

eight banks only, exchange bills and checks
representing sales independent of their
transactions over the counter, and transfers
from one account to another. (when two
parties bank at the same house, to the
amount of l,000,000,O00. Now, take
into account the transactions of the twenty
eight banks over the counter: those of fit.

data to have the same amount of transac-
tons as the metropolis, $4,000, 100000

I'VE have a total Of six thousand mill
ions carried on with petty cash of thirty
millions which is in the same proportion as
$50 to man who turns over in year
| $4,000.
I'VE have imported foreign commerce
at the rate of forty millions year; and if
we only take into our calculation the last
twenty years, this would come TO eight
hundred millions; and the gold coin in the
country, or rather our petty cash, being
within five millions as much now as ever it
was, it shows that the foreigners can only
have been paid by having taken our goods
| in barter for theirs.
But it is said they will positively take no
more than they have done; that if we take
ten millions more from them of corn, sugar
or coffee, they will have gold for it. If SO,
our stock of petty cash would be in great
danger; for, being only thirty millions, in

A terrible scene at a BuIi Fight

Extract from Stevens Travels in Yucatan.l
The next would have been worry Of the best
bull fights of Old Spain, when the cavalier, al
the glance of his lady's eye leaped into the
ring TO play the marador with his sword. He
was large black bull, without any particular
marks of feroci,y about him, but man who sat
in our box, and for whose judgment had con-
ceved grea, respect, lighteda new straw ci-
gar, and pronounced him ''may bravo" There
was no believing, clustering, or btavado about
him, bu, he showed calmness and self pos
session which indicated Consciousness OF
strength The picadores attacked him on
horseback, and like the N0ir Faineani, or Slug
gish knight, IN the lists at Ashby, for time
he coniented himself with merely repelling the
attacks of his assailanls, but suddenly, as IT
Iiue vexed, he laid his head low, looked up at
the spears pointed al his neck and shutting his
eyes, rushed upon picador on one side, struck
his horse in the belly with his horns, lifted him
off his feet and brought horse and rider head
long TO The ground The horse fell upon the
rider, rolled completely over him. with his heels
in the air, and rose with one of the riders feet
entangled in the slirrup. For an instant he
stood like breathing statue, with nostrlls wide
and ears thrown back, wild with fright; and
then, catching sight of the bull, he sprang clear
of the ground and dased off at full speed around
the ring dragging after him The luckless plea
dor. Around he went, senseess and helpless,
his whole body grined with dirt, and with no
more life in il apparently, than mere log Of
wood. At every bound il seemed as if the
horse must strike his hind hoof into his fore

The sick man fixed his eye upon her retiring
form, and covering his face with his hands, he
murmursd, No, no. 1t cannot be she !" The
lady thought she remembered the voice, and
she trembled like an aspen. She went back 10
the room from whence the sound proceeded and
looked upon the patient but his eyes were
closed, and she could not recognise him. She
laid her thin white hand upon his temple, and
the touch seemed 10 revive him. He looked at
her for moment, and then the muscles of his
throat sweled, and his lips quirered as though he

Marie.

Some seven years ago funeral train swept
through The wide avenue OF one OF the most
beautiful mansions in the southern part OF Ma
lyland The tall poplars on either side, stirred
10y light breeze, bowed their heads as though
lor the last time they were paying mournlul
oDeisance 10 The hearse that boIe The mistress
of the vile to her grave. Al the window, the
curtains Of which were drawn aside, the pale
face OF beautiful girl was seen. Ii was Marie,
and she was watching with fearful eye the
rnournful band that bore her mother 10 her
Tomb A few hours after this, al night, a young
man and maiden were kneeling, hand in hand,
beside narrow hillock of fresh earth They
were Marie Dunbar and Henry Barbour-ihe
orphan girl and her lover; and there upon the
dust lightly piled upon her dead mothers breast
they prayed that heaven would heal their
wounded hearts. That parent, then cold and
liieless, on her death-bed had placed her daugh-
tcr's hand in Henrys, and, blessing them. bade
him be her guardian. Upon her grave her dying
words were recalled, and Henry vowed that
while life was his he never would desert bis
beautiful Marie Silently they rose from that
naTFow mound, and though their hearts were
chasened by aflhclion, and the fresh memory
of The virtues and affection of the lost one, still
they were full Of hope, and trusted with all the
huoyancy Of youth 10 the future for JOY and
happiness.
Marie Dunbar was wealthy, and she placed
she whole OF her fortune in the hands Of her To-
ser, who resolved TO invest 1t in properly in the
South. In the section of the country in which
shey thea resided, Marie had no relatives. and
IL was finally determined that Henry should
sisn the South, and after he had established
himself in business, they were TO be welded.
SViih the promise for the hundredth time that
Ae would write TO her twice every week, Henry
tore himself away from his beautiful love, and
after short voyage he arrived in New Orleans.
For time every thing went on smoothly, his
prospects were brilliant, and, in the thought OF
Enjoying the luxuries Of life in company with
Marie, rainbow spanned his visions Of The
future.
One evening he was induced by fri end to
slsit one u The gaming houses then licensed in
