in CALCULATIONS; also, that the circulation then was
SO far based upon coin that they held forty eight
per cent. in coin. BY the late published returns
of 1851 and 1862, two hundred and ninety nine
banks bad S37 ISL SIT in circulation, against

three quarters per cent. Of I, cir Immediate liabi

that would be established in all sections of the
city. The City Council yesterday received from

will doubtless pass to day. Nearly all the papers
