NEW YoRK BANKs.-Some method is abont

NEW York BANKs.-Some method is about to
be adopted at Albany to check an abuse of the
banking law which is practiced to a considerable
extent by banks which have been recognised after
the expiration of their charters under the free law
1t appears that these banks have the right to reor-
ganize by depositing $4,000 of securities with
the bank department, instead of 100000, which
Is required OF new associations. Some of these
banks having issued a large amount of new notes
just before the expiration of their charters, con.
tinue to reissue them under the organization,
with only 10000 of security in the bank depart
ment, and thus defeat the intention of the law
which was to provide ample security for all ban /
issues. This course is not only an evasion of the
law and dangerous to the public, but ia rank
injustice to other institutions which have complied
fully with the requirements of the law. We trust
the bank committees will put an effectual stop to
this species of financial sharp practice.

THE ERIcssoN This noble ship goes to sea next
week; and after cruising about and giving her en-
gines fair trial, will repair to Norfolk The ship
itself is equal to any specimen of naval architec
ture which this city has turned out; and good
judges say that she is the strongest ship eyer built
in our port. And this is the opinion of her COM
mander, Captain Lowber, who is an experienced
packet master.
We look upon the question in regard to caloric
being new motive power as defnitiveiy settled;
but there are those who still doubt and they will
experience the most intense anxiety until they hear
of the Ecssens safe arrival at Norfolk, and learn
what speed che has accomplished.
The incalculable advantage, not only to this
country, but to all mankind, of the successful
workings of this new motive power. will at once
strike every person of reflection. The saving of
fvesxths of the fuel not only renders it the cheap
| est power with which to navigate the ocean; but
while it is both cheap and perfectly safe, it at
enables vessel to take in supply of fuel for the
longest voyages and still have reasonable amount
Of space for cargo. But aside from it's effects upon
the commerce Of the world, let US look at its i'm
! mediate bearing upon our own city.
We will not attempt to estimate the amount OF the
stationary steam-power of the city; but it s very
| great 80 great that already the Board of Water
Commissioners are unwilling, or at least not anx
ous, to increase their sales for purposes connected
with steam-engines; and it is perfectly manifest
that at no very distant day the Croton will not be
equal to supply of our city for domestic and
| manufacturing purposes This would indeed be q
great misfortune; but from this the cGloric will
US, as well f,om the present cost Of the water
with which to create steam. person using a ten
horse steam engine pays the corporation one hum
bred dollars per annum for the water used by 1t;
which is equal to six per cen upon seventeen hun
bred dollars. Now, for two hundred dollars, or
twenty dollars per horsepower, he can purchase
the right to use the calofio engine forever; and
thus effect immediate saving of fifteen hundred
dollars upon the material alone, with which to
create his power, and subsequent saving of five,
sixths in the fuel besides getting rid of the entire
risk of explosion and the consequent increased in
surance. In truth, is impossible to estimate the
value Of this great discovery to the civilized world

BANKERS AssocIATIos.-There was large
meeting OF delegates from many of the New Eng
land banks held in the room over the fremont
Bank yesterday, for the purpose of organizing a
Bankers Association for the detection and proven
ton of counterfeiting. After discussion an asso
citation was formed, by the choice of fifteen mana
gers, who are to have the direction Of the affairs,
and to device and carry out plans for securing the
objects contemplated by the organization.
Any bank in the State may become participant
in the association by paying assessment Of five
dollars for every hundred thousand dollars capital
And as the Legislature last year made an appro-
priation for this object, and the old Boston Asso-
citation for the suppression of counterfeiting il
merged in this, they will have the benefit Of that
appropriation
The alarming increase of counterfeit and altered
bills, which has been prevalent of late, has called
for some resolute and prompt action the part OF
those Immediately interested, and we are glad to
notice the formation of this Bankers Association
not doubling that, if the managers enter upon their
duties with a determination to ferret out all who
are directly or indirectly engaged in this fraudu-
lent business, that an efectual stop will be put to
their operations. Boston Transcript, 10Th.
