MONEY MATTERS. TRADE, &c.

We have for some weeks past noticed large
number Of very new looking bills in circulation
here, purporting to be issued at Delaware City,
by the Delaware City Bank. The Camden (.E.
J.) Democrat thus notices these bills
"Not little excitement has been created in
Delaware City for some days past, by the in
creasing demand upon the Bank recently estab-
lished there for the redemption of its notes 1t
appears that this bank is owned by few specu-
lators, who have for some years past made va
rious efforts to establish similar institution in
the city of Philadelphia. They last year at
tempted the same thing in Delaware, and sue
ceeded in obtaining bill for the establishment
of the present concern, locating it in Delaware
City, but which is a mere rltse, as its real busi-
ness is conducted in Philadelphia, at No. 38
North WharVes, where there is a room fitted
up expressly for the purpose, and which con-
sists in the shaving of notes at rates only known
to those interested. One condition of which is,
however, that the notes Of the bank many of
them 81, 81 and S3, shall be taken in payment
and circulated as wide as possible in the sur
rounding country
If this statement is correct, the better plan
would be for our boatmen and others 10 refuse
them at onee-an ounce of prevention being
worth pound of cure. Bicknell's Reporter
quotes them at par.

TEMPERANCE IN TIE UNITED STATHs.-
The spread of temperance in the United
States. through the influence Of association,
has been immense, and promises still to re.
alizc much igrcatcr good. A brief sunma-
ry which is given in an Albany paper, sets
the matter strongly before the public
There are now more than one million FIVE
hundred thousand people in the United
States who abstain from the use of ardent
spirits and furnishing it to others more than
5000 temperance societies, embracing more
than 100000 members. More than 2,000
dist,lIeries have been stoppeds mnre than
5000 merchants have ceased from the traf.
fic. 1t is estimated that $4,000 persons are
now sober who, had 1t not been for the tenn.
pcrance societies, would have been so,s; and
that at least 10000 families are now at ease
and comfort, which would otherwise have
been in poverty and disgraced BY drunken
inmates. Such good results flowing from
noble exertions, are calculated to urge the
friends of the cause to renewed efforts.

MY OWN CALCULATIoN.--Oned dollar per
day for labor in Georgia, is about equal to
the amount of eleven dollars at the mines in
California, because one dollar can purchase
here as much as eleven dollars can buy
there. When calculate the expense off the
trip; lis dangers; think Of having TO cross the
tropics and equator twice, and fee the ralh-
er warm rays of an African sun, if 60 in a
sailing vessel and of the six months Of
anxious and improbable time would lose
upon the trip. and the uncertainty of getting
bushel Or two of gold when | get there. ]
have concluded to take the certainty of the
dollar here, aid not 90 TO 10 California. it
is true there is route TO California by
Chagres. which would take only about lhlr-
~ or forty days, but if | went that course |
would have to dig for gold at home, before
| left, and the mines here only pay living
price.
As there are many Of my acquaintanccs
who have concluded to remain in Georgia,
and wait the developments Of the riches Of
the gold mines at home. which might posi-.
bly, happen if we left Georgia, and as many
persons arc Of the opinion that California
gold is sour to The taste, perhaps we had all
better think more of making few dollars
here, and be satisfied with our present lot in
life, than to be Idly specuIaling about god
