THE SooTY NoBILITY.-His Majesty the new
Emperor Of Hayt has learned somewhere that in
civilized Europe peerage is considered an indis-
pensable supports monarchy. 1t is the Corinthian
column, upon which Majesty rests. Faustin the
Flrst-Whom some iFreverent wag has entitled
=" Fustian the First has accordingly set about
constructing his court on approved European mod
els. He is to have his peers-dukes, counts, mar
quises and barons-the last very appropriately, as
the oOronet will cover many barren heads, though
well covered with feeces that are not golden"
The same passion for show and glare, which in
state of servitude makes the negro strut proudly in
brass buttons and faunt in gaudy caicoes, will ex-
hibit itself in fancy titles Of the most sonorous
sound. We look for nothing less grand than Prince
Aldiborontiphoskiph Duke ChrononhotOntho-
logos, and Marshal Polyphlosboio.
The negroes fondness for grand appslIations has
enabled him to mOnopolize all the classic names.
There are no more any Caesars, Pompeys, Agamem-
mons, or Sepios, except among the blacks. The
old heroic names with which there used to be such
high associations, have descended 10 the kitchen
and the field, and become simply ridiculous. The
farce OF negro peerage-a WoOlly " My Lord -
splay-footed reeking Highness "-bedizened in
tawdry finery, aping at second or third hand the
manners of the aristocracy of rank, will lead to
the same end Of bringing ridioule on titles. In a
generation or two a man will as soon think Of
christening his firslborn Pomp," or " Scip, 'as
himself " Duke" or Earl"

Some months ago we noticed a scheme for a
new National currency, which was suggested in
the New York Courier and Enquirers and received
with favor in several other quarters. The authO-
ship is disputed with the editors of that paper by
Mr.. Bonnefoux, French merchant in New York.
We do not believe there will be any long rivalry
about all the honors witch such plan of finance
and banking viii bring. Mr.. Clngman, mem
Der of Congress from North Carolina is the last
man who has shown any ambition to connect his
name, with the affair; and he has written letter
expounding the features of his plan, and announ.
cling that it will be advocated in Congress. We
have on former occasion described its principal
features-that of making or arranging a system of
Deposite Banks in the various States where Gov
eminent needs agents, with power to issue notes
and bank on a basis of Government stocks or
Treasury Notes, to bedeposited with the Secretary
Of the u S. Treasury, the notes are secured I'M
der the New York Free Banking Law, by a de-
posite of stocks with the State Comptroller
The idea put out is that the present National
currency needs improvement and therefore that
the Federal Government ought to provide better.
1t is a rash assumption. The National currency of
the United States is goOd-so good that any attempt
TO tinker at it, with the idea of improving it, will
only make confusion. California has fully settled
the most difficult part of the question of metallic
currency, by showing us that t here need be no
alarm about sufficiency of the supply for all the
purposes of circulating medium. Indeed, if the
supply continues as large as it has been, and in
ereases as many expect, it will become most i'm
pOrtaRt element in preserving its relative value, and
| thereby maintaining contracts and property from
a ruinous revulsion, that the copous use of gold
for currency should be encouraged. In the unset
tied state ofthis question, and until it shall be bet
ter known what permanent additions are to be
made to the stock of precious metals in the world
by the California discoveries, it is extremely I'M
likely that any prudent government would enter
into schemes of which the main design is to fill
with paper, channels which would otherwise re-
quire large amounts of gold. In this view alone,
Mr.. Cingman's paper scheme is not likely to get
much favor. There are, besides, many other con-
siderations connected with the true theories Of
banking, the true powers of Congress, and the ma
ture and functions of paper calculations which
would, under any circumstances, prove fatal to this
grand scheme for reviving all the msehiefs both Of
the Pet Bank and the National Bank systems, with
few, if any, of their benefits.

AMERICAN INrERFERENcE IN FAVOR OF THE
HUNGARIAN ExILEs. "A letter signed by many
American residents in Paris was drawn up and
addressed to Mr.. Dabney S. Carr, the American
Minister at Constantinople, earnestly entreating
him 70 intercede with the Turkish Government for
the safety and protection Of Kossuth and his exiled
countrymsn. Unfortunately, at the time this could
reach Constantinople, we should be without Min
lister there. Mr.. Carr had been recalled, and had
taken passage on the Jamestown. Mr., Marsh, his
successor, had not time to reach there. But it is
gratifying to know that, although an American
Minister may lose the opportunity Of expressing
in the name of his countrymen, their profound in
terest in the fate Of these noble martyrs to Liberty
the natural ohivalry of the Turkish Sultan ha,
prevented the necessity Of interference to induce
him to give hospitality to the refugees.
