Since my last we have had all sorts Of
large and extensive changes-from the
balmy zephyr to the boisterous gale-from
the genial heat Of summer TO the chilly
colds of winter; in fact, the weather has a
sympathy with the times, for now we have
no small change. There is more truth than
poetry in the last remark, for the drainage OF
silver from hence has raised it to a premi-
um OF five per cent, whilst in Cuba-it is
held at 3 per cent premium. BY the way it
is amusing to see the resorts of many in
negotiating a note for discount | mean a
bank note rather than go into a regular
shaving shop at the corner OF Camp street,
the frugal teetotaler steps into an exchange,
classically known as a cofiee-honse, and
there gets his FIVE cents worth of lemon
ade. TO show that he is a nam Of means,
and that it is not Necessity which drives hnn
to their house, he hands over a five or a ten
dollar bank bill, out of which to take their
change; by the operation our pale,faced
friend gets off scot free, or with a profit. It
is said that our bank vaults had large guam
titles of silver a while since, if it be yet
there it would be a great convenience to the
public to have it in circulation. The mer-
chant and the capitalist who deals in large
sums. is unconscious of the evils, morally
and ~pecuniarily, resulting from the want OF
l. Argent" There are many who could
spare their silver dime, who yet could MOI
afford their golden dollar in aims, and when

loudly assert that it rs the highway TO fraud

facing the new coinage, when they may be
mistaken for the present small coin.
