"OSE'' OF THE New HAMPSHIRE GIRLs.-A cor
respondent of the Journal relates the following:
While on visit to my friends in New Hampshire
the past week, had the pleasureo of an introduce
ton to Miss Rosna Delight Richardson, the only
daughter of Mr.. Nathaniel Richardson, (of East
Alsied, Cheshire county, New Hampshre.) Miss
Rosina is nineteen yeaIS OF age is five feet, three
and quarter inches in heighth, measures five feet
four and half inches around the waist, twenty
two inches around the arm above the elbow, four
teen inches around the arm below the elbow, and
two feet ten inches in straight line the Shout
ders. At birth she weighed six pounds, at five
years, one hundred and fortyeight pounds, at ten
years, two hundred and sixty eight pounds at fiji
teen years, three hundred and sixty-fv pounds,
and. now, at nineteen years of age she weighs four
hundred and seventy-eight pounds. On estima-
ting the quantityof cloth in her clothing, when
dressed for a ride on winter day. we found it to
contain ninety-eight and half yards OF three"
quarters yard wide cloth.
She has brown hair, dark blue eyes, is of fair
complexion, and has what phrenologists would call
a we'll balanced head, the perceptiye organs pre-
dominating. She can knit, spin, weave, make
shirt or batch of bread, is good singer, and plays
the piano with taste ndskill-s considered one OF
the best scholars in the town in which she resides
is courteous and affabe, and lively in CONVERSE
ton, and evinces general knowledge, which might
raise blush the cheek of some of our city bellies.
DISTINGUISHED VIsITERs.-The Washington Re-
public of Saturday has the following:
The President leftthe city last evening for Berke-
ly Springs where his family have been soiourning
for few days. He was accompanied by Mr.. Ken
nedy, the Secretary of the Navy. They will prob
ably be absent from the city till about the middle of
nextweek. Mr.. Stewart left the city on Thursday
evening on visit to Virginia. General Scott and
family are at present on a visit to West Point.
The National Intelligencer of Saturday says:
The Secretary of State left Washington on
Thursday evening last, on a visit to MaIshfield.-
Some symptoms had indicated the approach of his
autumnal malady, and it was thought visit to the
sea shore might mitigate its violence. The Secreta
~ of the Interior also left the seat of government
on Thursday evening on short visit to Stauuton,
his residence in Virginia. The President has ap-
pointed the Hon. Chas. NJ. Conrad as acting Sec

Communicated
Bnnk Notes.

MEssRs. EDIToRs: 1t is well known that the
banks of Maryland issue small notes. and that the
District of Columbia affords field for their circu-
lation, as does Virginia, owing to prohibition of
such issues by law of the State. Hence you
very naturally find Marylanders declaiming against
the issue of small notes by institutions of this
District.
1t is well known, too, that the corporate exist
ence of the banks of this District was brought to
an end some years since and that o law of the
7th July, 1888, imposes fine not exceeding ten
thousand dollars, or imprisonment not less than
one year nor exceeding five years, upon the issue
of any bill, note or check, Of any amount, by the
officers of the defunct banks
1t is also well known that law exists, the
purport of which is to restrain the issue of small
notes as currency in the District, by which
fine of fifty dollars is imposed for the issue or
circulation of such notes
Well, as usual, the laws seem to be made, like
cobwebs, to catch the small flies, while the large
ones are able to break through. Occasionally,
we find the Grand Jury of the District indctng
the issuers of small notes, whilst the mammoth
institutions are allowed to escape.
Is it not somewhat anomalous to find bank
officer sometimes at the head of Grand Jury,
presenting the issuers of small notes, and over
looking the large transgessors How does it
happen that the faithful and viglant District At
torney " makes fish of one and flesh of another?"
There is one thing apparent. Certain gentle
men in Maryland, and others interested in NAM
moth institutions here, are very sensitive about
the public interests. Let those who are guilt
less throw the first stone" [1t*l Q.

The Mexican Indemnity.

The bankers employed by Mr.. Webster to pay
the Mexican indemnity have addressed q letter to
Mr.. Webster, which he has published and placed
on the tables of members of Congress. They
admit that they have divided 81 per cent. but
say that their profit consists in usurious interest
exacted from Mexico on advances of money. They
say that they did not advance the money which
they received from the United States, and seek to
justify their exaction Of usury by saying that they
advanced their own funds. II is surprising that
persons so intelligent and SO much interested in
maintaining an unspotted reputation, should have
made such declarations. 1t is true that they adj
vanced their own funds-but how did they get
those funds? Did not their agent draw bills of
exchange, and did not they use the funds obtain
ed from the United States to meet the drafts If
this be So did not they in fact use the funds
placed in their hands by the United States to
speculate on the necessities of Mexico? And
was not the declaration that they used their own
funds calculated and intended to make false inn
preston ON the House,
But they say that they had ceased to con-
slider themselves the agents Of the govern
ment to make this payment. Why then did Mr..
Webster refuse to permit the arrangement with
Mr.. Marks to be carried into effect without the
consent Of the Earrings, and why did the Barings
refuse that consent by saying that they had made
q contract and would not relinquish it And if
this be so, why do they now manifest such earnest
desire to have the money placed in their hands
under neW contracti Their letter TO Mr.. Web
ster viii be more fully treated hereafter, and espe-
cialy that part of it which relates to the payment
in Mexican bonds. 1t will be seen that the Bar
ings sign the letter by their agent Mr.. Ward, and
it will be remembered that the Barings are in
fact the parties in interest 1t never was sug-
gested that either of the American parties were
interested in Mexican bonds, but it will be here
after seen that circumstances justify belief that
the Barings had.
