Banks have redemption agencies in the City
The banks in the City of New York do moi
take thee bill either in payment Of dues or on
deposite, as they do not like the trouble of
sending out of the City for redemption. The
only bills therefore which are bHnkHbio, are
those of the City Banks, and of those few
Country Banks which redeem herej and this
money is called current. Those bills which
are not redeemed in the City, are not bankable,
and are called uncurrent; and in order to con-
vert them into burkable funds, tho holder has
to pay premium to broker by way of ex-
change. For all ordinary uses the uncurrent
money is equally valuable, and makes up nine
tenths ofthe circulation in the City.
New York State money is at n discount of
to per ccnt.-New Jersey, s,-New England
i. The reason for New England being at a
less discount than other money, take il, is
owing to the easy communication between
this City and Boston where all your Country
bills are redeemed.

| The ARREST OF THE BRIrIsH MAIL Car
WER. The business men of Montreal have
published statcmentin regard to the arrest
and detention of the man they employed to
take letters for the steamer through Vermont
TO Boston. II was private matter altogether,
and the man was furnished with the means
and directed to pay all duties and the postage
upon all mailable matter taken by him. And,
upon reaching the first Post Office in Vermont
he disclosed his business, offered to comply
with all requirements of the u. States laws,
but was told by the Post Master to proceed, &.
that he would not be molested He further
requested other proper officers ofour Govern
ment to take chorge ofthe malable matter in
his possession, and receive the postage upon
it, They refused, and the persons sending
him were greatly injured in their business.
If the statement be correct, and we see no
reason for doubling its Correctness, the Off.
GERS OF our Government who declined doing
their duty in refusing TO receive the matter
rendered to them, and those who detained it,
are most-surcly the guilty party. 1t is n new
thihg under the sun for post masters to refuse
the transmission of malable matter, especially |
when the postage is rendered which the law
prescribes.
The mails of the last two steamers were for
warded via Halifax, and Express to Quebec,
and those of the Britannia reached Montreal
sooner than our own mails would have carried
them there.
The conduct in the matter of the arrest above
alluded TO, appears about as wise as would be
hat ola merchant who takes to the notion
md kicks from his store good cash customer,
who could well trade some where else. Per.
iaps the petty officials who had finger in the
Irrest may get some fees out of Tiacle Sans
we'll drained Treasury and in the end, out of
he people, This promises to be he amount of
he matter according to the sta tcmcnt ofthe
Montreal people. ,

Folks Tariff--Export of Specie.

The National lnteIligencer, in nh article
.upon the Polk Tariff, aud its effects in drain
ing lis of specie-since starvation in Europe
calls for less bread-remarks:
This change ofsystem, Clarity combined
with the Mexican war, is threatening lis with
n momentary crisis of no ordinary chracicr.
The rurnbling of distant thunder is already
heard in our commercial cities Prudent
men are preparing for storm; and so sure
,as4these two measures continue, year will
not have gone round before the vaults
. of the ,Subtreasury will he drained of their
Z last eagle. The substitute will lie rags-rags
srags-rags in other words, Treasury notes.
Since putting the above into the hands Of
the conpositor, we have seen Letter from
Philadelphia to q distinguished gentleman
now in this city, from which we have been
allowed 10 make the following extracts:
"PHrLADELPHIA, Dec. %, 1917.
1.-THE misery produced by the three vile
nets of the Observation-Disclosures War,
$Subtreasury, and, above all, the British Tariff
exceeds all credencc. In this city, Boston,
and New York, the pnlmy days Of the good
tariff of lS42 have been followed by pres
sure without parallel. The best paper is
sold AT l2 per cent. per month.

and its vicinity has actually fallen off in two
years nearly Ten thousand bales This, too,
when he says every nteres, is fourishng.-
Indeed, if we had not been very sound here,
the fearful sacrifices of the last few weeks of
pressure and panic would have Frustrated
hundreds of firms.
"As for MIR. Walkers manufacturing

stock Of tho Hamilton Company, which has
hitherto stood high, has sold in Boston at 81
per cent. discount, though before this 10

fered to me at 25 per cent discount on six
Inonths credit.

money. They propose loans, duties on tea

Congress entitle themselves TO the conf
dence CT suffering people, if they now re-
enact that wise bill, the tariff of 1912, with

WALL STREET OPERATIONS.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 81, IS47.
There has been n very
curious state ofthings in Wall Street Cor day
or two past. The recent failure of one or two
country Banks, which ought TO have failed
long ago, has caused panic among the hold.
ers of the notes of all Country Banks, without
regard to their standing or solvency. Upon
the failure ofthese nsolvent Banks, the ~uncur.
rent-money brokers, aided by startling slips is
sued from the offices of the several Bank Note
Lists, ,which,by the way, are published by this
same class of brokers, sounded the alarm with
respect to the danger from other failures, and
the result has been just what they anticipated
and desired-a rush of bill holders to their
counters for redemption.
The shave or rate of discount varied accord

tually worth par, because secured, dollar for
dollar, by New York State Stocks deposited
in the hands of the Comptroller-and even at
this ruinous rate, so much country money was
thrown iniG the street for sale, that long before
three o'clock yesterday, nearly every broker
was out of bankable funds, and consequently
Obliged, right in the latest of the harvest, to
refuse many who brought notes for exchange
These rcfusals were made with such a look
and tone of"wise uncertainty as to what this
world, and particularly the Banks, are coming
to, that their poor customers went away fully
convinced of the insolvency of euerything in
the shape ola Bank.
The game commenced with renewed activi-

shed their stock of current money, and the
bil-holders having worked themselves into a
higher fever, from hearing the reports of yes
terday's doings: and down to the close of Bank
hours the greatest excitement prevailed in the
street.
The panic makers are we'll understood to be
the money-brokers, and the panic stricken are
the 'million" who are obliged to handle more
or less money, but are totally ignorant of the
science of fnunciering, and are just the kind
ofpeople who cannot reason in times ofexcitc-
ment.
The panic, happening just at this time comes
hard upon the business community. Pay
ments which were to become due on the Cd of
jan (as that day is Sunday must be made
according to custom and law, on the day be.
fore, and as Saturday the 1st is holiday the
payments of that day as we'll as those of %
must be made to-day-thus crowding the bust
ness of three days into one.
The general belief is that the convivialitie;
of New Years, which is so universally regard
ed as holiday in New York, together will
the next days headaches (Which will be bont
tide Sunday headachcs) will bring people t,
their right minds, and cool off an excilemen
which is as foolish us the getters-up of it ar,
dishonest.

which caused her to expectornte freely ,gradu-
ally cascd her cough, and rapidly restored her
p to health. We have no hesitation in saying,
that this preparation of DR.. Jayne, for the cure
of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Asthma, Con-
sumption, &c, is the most valuable medicine
ever offered to the American public. There
is no quackery about it-Dr. Jayne is one of
the most sklfu practising physicians in Penn

SMALL POX. We do not learn that this
disease has increased in this section of the
State for the last week or fortnight, but in
all the places where it existed, and from which
we have any information. it has nearly or en-
tirely abated.
The timely resort to vaccination, without
the trouble ofPest Houses, in most cases, has
been sufficient TO hold the disease in check,
and ultimately TO eradicate it entirely. Vac
cinntion also, in places where the disease has
not appeared, has been very gcncral-so gen.
erul that, should the disease appear, it will
find few subjects to attack, at least, in lis more
fatal and malignant forms.

MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH IN VERMONT. Tel
cgraph posts and wires are nearly completed
from Troy, n. York, to Burlington this State.
The expectation is, that operations will COM
mence between these two places by the Goth
of the present month. The Telegraph passes
from Troy TO Bennington, Manchester, Rut-
land to Burlington, and ultimately it is design
ed to extend it to Montreal, via ST.. Adams, we
believe.
