The Sub. Treasury.-The New Yo

The Sub.TreaSury.-The New York
Journal of Commerce continues to COM
ment on the absurdity of the Sub-Treasu-
ny system maintaining that the fault of
its advocates is IAN inability 10 comprehend
the first principles Of irade;' that specie lies
still, except when balances are heavy, and
that trade makes the exchanges and pla-
ces the coin where it Is wanted. The
journal also says:
" There is plenty Of coin at New Orle-
ans, and money lying 10 the credit of the
government in New York, can be paid
from the coin in New Orleans as well as
from that in New York. The banks have
accounts and bills ct exchange by which
The whole thing is adjusted without cost
or trouble. The stupidity of the Sub
Treasury imagines that there is no way
but to cart about the coin, and cartlng 1t
about does good somehow. IL does as
much good as 10 dip wafer up on one side
of the pond and pour it in on the other
II might create heavy expenditure to
send thousand hogsheads Of water from
New York to Mexico in the hope of deep
enng the water of their harbors. But it
would be just as we'll to take the water al.
ready there, and thai would cost nothing.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

We are about making out the accounts Of all
sur subscribers who are in arrears for the Recof-
der Cor one year or more, Where we can present
them personally, or by an agent, We shall do so /;
10 others we shall send item by mail, or enclose
them in the paper. In all instances we hope
prompt attention will be paid to the settlement Of
them. Our readers will see that part of our
type is becoming old, and needs to be replaced BY
BY new and to enable us 10 make this improve
ment, and to meet our other engagements, il is
necessary that we should make pretty extensive
collections. In this emergency we hope our call
npon those who owe US either small or larger sums
will not be in vain.
But what shall We say to those who are in-
debted for years, and who have paid no attention
to the accounts which have been repeatedly trans
mitted to them, and whom distance seems to have
placed beyond our reachi Is il because they are
unable to pay or are they waiting for "a more
convenient seasonl" or dothey intend altogether
to withhold payment! If in the first class, hon.
esy should induce them so TO inform us; If IN
the second. II should be remembered that " do
lays are dangerous y and if in the third class,
they ought not to be surprised TO find, at some u-
ture day, their names in black list. In all these
cases we shall discontinue the paper at the end of
the present subscription year, unless payment, or
portion Of it, is previously received.
The money may be RENTED by mail at our
risk. But the safest and best way is to pay the
amount to the Post Master where you reside. and
take his receipt, which must be sent to us. This
mode is authorized by the rules of the General
Post Office Department, in sums not exceeding
ten dollars The receipt may be in the following
form:

Mr.. Palrner's Lecture.

The Lecture of the Rev. Mr.. Palmer, before
the Lyceum on Wednesday Evening. was well
attended. The subject of the Lecture was
Naples and its Vicinity" The Lecturer
gave from personal observation, description
of the Bay and City of Naples, Mount We
suvius, the Ruins of Pompeii and Hercula-
neum.
A lecture on such subject, from one who
had visited those scenes, even had he possessed
but common powers of description, could not
have failed to have been interesting; but in
this case it was rendered highly so by the Wv
idness with which the lecturer portrayed be-
fore the minds of his hearers the various in
teresting objects that formed the subject of the
lecture. On the whole we consider the lee
ture, to say the least, one of the most interest
ing and instructing that we ever listened to =
those who were absent lost rich treat. If the
succeeding lectures equal this, we apprehend
it will be long before the citizens Of Bath will
be willing to see the Lyceum 60 down.

Song for the Season.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Look out look out there are shadows about I!
The forest is DOMINIC its doublet of brown,
The willow tree sways with eloomier fOuf,
Like beautiful face with gathering frown.
TITS true we all know that Summer must go!
That the swallow will verstay long in our caves
Yet we'd rather he watching the wild rose blow,
Than be counting the coors of Autumn's leaves!
Look high, look high, there's the lace winged fly,
Thinking he's king of a fairy realm,
As he swings with delight on the gossamer tie
That is linked mid the boughs of the snn-lipped
elm
Alas poor thing, the first rustic will bring
The pillars of dust where your pleasure clue weaves,
And many spirit, like thine, will cling
To hopes that depend upon Autumn leaves!
Look now, look now, the night gusts blow,
And the restless forms in hectic red
Come whirling along wherever we 20,
Lighter in dancing as nearer the dead !!
Oh who hes not seen rare hearts, that nave been
Painted and painting, in garb that decelves,
Dashing gaily along in their flnttering sheen
With Despair at the core, like the Autumn leaves!
Look on, look on morn breaketh upon
The hedge-row 5oughs, in their whitening hue;
The distant orc hard is saow and wan,
But the apple and nut CLEAN richly through.
Oh! well will it be if our life like the tree,
Shall be found when old Time OF green beauty be-
With the fruit of good works for the anter see
shining out ia Truths harvest, through Autumn
leaves!
Merrily pours as il sings and scars,
The west wind over the land and seas,
Till it plays in the forest and means and roars,
Seeming no longer mIthful breeze
So music Is hest till il meeteth breast
That is probed by the strain while Memory gneves
To think il was sung by loved one at rest,
Then it comes like sweet wind through Autumn
leaves
Not in an hour are leaf and flower
Stricken in freshness, and swept to decay;
Ry mile aDDrOaCh hes, the frost ana tDe shower,
Make Ieody the sap veins fOf falling away
And so is Man made to peacefully fade,
By the ar he Sheds and the sigh that he heaves
For he's loosened from earth ny each trial clouds
shade,
Till he's willing to 60, as the Autumn leaves
Look back, look hack, and you'll find the track
OF human hearts, strOwn thicklv DER
With Joys dead leaves all dry and black,
And every year still hnging moIe.
But the soil is fed where the branches are shed,
For the firr0w to bring forth fuller sheaves,
And so is our trust in the Future spread
In the gloom Of Mortality's Autumn leaves!
