THE CURRENCY.

1t is well known to onr citizens generally,
that difficulty has recently grown up, between
the city Council and the Treasurer, as TO the
propriety Of taking sovereigns for more than
their legal value. This difficulty and the dis
cussions which it elected, have had the effect to
direct the attention Of some at least, our humble
selves among the number, to the importance Of
reform in this particular. What is to oe
gained, or where is the object, let US enquire,
of continuing a custom, which should have pas
sed away with the thousand and one follies
and extravagances which attached to the early
settlement of the country. The legal value of
sovereigns the country over, except small
district in the immediate vicinity of the mines,
is $4.63 and yet with a country rapidly popu-
lating, City of between FIVE and six thou
sand inhabitants, and business of millions,
daily increasing and as thoroughly systematized
as the oldest cities in the country, We still
adhere with unyielding tenacity to bar"a-
rsm of olden times. Deprecated currency
works ali injury to the people; five do not per-
ceive it here in our home exchanges, others
do; If we lose nothing in our transactions about
home, those at a distance and strangers, who
are passing and repassing-who are here to day
and off tomorrow, must suffer loss. This
loss, when It comes upon them, although small
is very apt to recall to mind, where they OBJ
tanned this.depreciated coin, and elicit criticisms
upon the place and people, which is by nc
means calculated to advance our interest and
prosperity.
Another view may be taken Of the subject
So long as sovereigns command in this market
premium of cents. we shall alwa-s be flood
ed with this species of currency; for currency
like every thing else, will always find that mar
ket, where it commands the best pr;ce.
Why should soveregns command a premium
more than American, Spanish, French, or an,
other coin: Why not take doubloons 70
SIS 20, in place Of $l5,5O-American hal
eagles for $5,07, and five franks, for dollars
Is there any good reason for giving a premi
um, and ther.fore a preference, for Englisl
gold over the gold of our own and other coun
tries? If there is, we are too blind to discove
it. This is subject which we think has som
{ claims upon the attention of the public and W
= trust they may soon heed it, Let the mer
chants Of this city resolve to taks sovereigns
= no more than their legal value and the refoll
would be speedily accomplished.
