The spurious coin may be detected by
the dizziness Of the sound, and by the de-

money deposited under its provisions
Whilst it has proved to be safe and use
tul TO- the Government, its effects have
been most beneficial in the country. It
has hastened powerfully to secure an ex-
emPt'on from the imitation and fluctuating
OF the paper currency, so injurious to do
mestlc industry, and indeed so uncertain
. IN the rewards of labor, and is believed
to have largely contributed to preserve
the whole country from a CONNIE rcial
CONFUSION, such as often occurs under
the bank deposit system. In the year
l847, there was revulsion in the bust
ness Of Great Britain, Of great extent and
intensity, which was followed by failures
IN that kingdom unprecedented in num-
Der and amount Of losses. This is believ-
ed to be the first instance when such dis
astrous bankruptcies, occurring in coun-
try with which we have extensive trade
and intercourse, in which we were but
little effected in our money market, and
our business and industry were still-pros-
porous and progressive.
During the presen: year, nearly the
whole continent Of Europe has been con-
vulsed by civil war and revolutions, az
tended by numerous bankruptcies, and
by an Unprecedented fall in their securi-
ties, and an almost universal paralysis Of
CONNIE rec and industry, and although our
trade and prices Of our products, must
nave been somewhat unfavorably affected
~ these causes, we have escaped a re
vulslon; our money markets. compare
lively easy, and public and private credit.
nave advanced and improved. ~
It's confidently believed, that we have
been saved from these effects by the sal
uiary operations Of the Constitutional
Treasury. 1t is certain ,hatic the "a
millions Of specie, imported into the coun.
try during the fiscal year ending On the
3Oth Of June, l847, had gone into the
banks, as to great extent it must have
done, il would, in tho absence Of this sys-
tenn, have been made the basis OF augmen-
ted bank paper, issued probably to an q

0|s The following from that excellent pa
per, the St. Louis Nep Era, gives pretty
hard hit in a quiet kind to way to such sheets
as are conducted in the spirit of the Cincinnati
atlas:
CoMMENDABLE ANxIETY.--The Locofocos
throughout the whole country are very fearful
lest in electing Gen. Taylor the people should
make President whose principles are net
known Tell the Locofocos that Taylor is firm
and honest; oh yes, but what does he think of
the ub-Treasury. Tell them tina Taylor can
not be overawed by power nor made to say or
do any thing which is wrong; very true, say
the Locos, but how about the Tariff. What
can be safer than elections good citizens? that's
all well enough, but what does your candidate
think about national bank, replies the Loco.
Now, we think that Gen. Taylor labors under
the old fashioned dclusiOn, called de nocratic
in days gone by-that the representatives of
the people, when assembled in Congress- should
pass bills to meet the views and interests of
their constituents,a and that the President should
sign them, and that he is but the executive Off
GERS, to see that the peoples laos are erecuted.
This was democratic doctrine in the time OF
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and we be-
liev that Gen. Taylor is good old fashioned
democrat-that is 10 say, sound neW fashion

ago it is said, four ladies in the height Tor
rather in the extreme breadth) of the Crenoline
fashion, paid visit TO the rebel chief Sandil-
II, at his residence in the Drostdy;a well known
gallant and witty colonel acting as cicerone to
the party. With considerable address and the
aid OF the energetic colonel, each fair votary of
fashion managed TO convey herself and portable
wardrobe through the narrow doorway (only
intended Tor horse TO entera) of the chiefs
apartment without much damage, and the par
ty stood fronting the group of wondering sava-
ges. Sandllli reclining on an iron hospital
stretcher, IN graceful attitude, with his regal
tlger-skin kaross carelessly thrown over him.
his brother, splendid specimen of a rude
katfir, stood on his left; in all the pride of ma
tive dignity, whose fine limbs, and well de-
veloped muscles no thong or wrappage had
helped TO strangle in their growth-a bea utiful
"a perfect model for a sculpt and most
strange contrast to the made-up figures of his
grotesque millner-made visitors. Around
these two were lying. sitting, and standing
the other councillors, about dozen in va
rlous attitudes and stages of Kaffir no-fashion,
some du natural, Others blanketed and kaross-
ed. Alter scrutinizlng examination of the
various figures composing this picturesque
group oil the elite of Kaffirland, and much crit

the relative merits or the ancient Greciau stat

and show himself. The chief wished to know
who the ladies were that he should stand in
their presence. "Tell him." said the iocose
colonel to the interpreter. "tell him they are
my wives, and that have another at home, and
ask what he thinks of them" ''Fie, Colonel ;"
twittered one young lady, show can you tell
the chief such nonsenseP The interpreter ex-
planned, the chief laughed and whispered to his

that he could not stop himself. The ladies'
