COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
EDITED BY C. H. PARKER.
MONETARY.


Financial matters below are assuming healthy
condition, although great stringency prevails in
different parts of the Union in the money market.
The market however will doubtless be easier, af-
ter it is settled that more Banks are to succumb
to the influences of the late panic, and pass into
the hands of receivers for liquidation.
No recent intelligence has been received in re-
lation to the Ind. Free Banks, but they proba-
bly, recovering their lost positions and preparing
for a resumption of business on safer principles
than have heretofore marked their career. 1t is
to be hoped that the lessons inculcated by reason
of the late panic, will not be forgotten by those
who shall hereafter manage the Free Banking In
situations of that State.
There seems to be little or no demand for Land
Warrants.
Exchange rules from 1-2 to 2 per cent. premium
and firm at the former figure.
The Merchants & Farmers Bank, of SPRING
field, ILL.,, has gone into liquidation-should be
placed in the List of Broken and Discreditcd
Banks.
The Bank of Ottawa is good. Railroad Bank,
Decatur, ILL.,, Exchange Bank, of H. A. Tucker &
Co., ILL.,, Merchants & Mechanics Bank, ILL.,, are
also good and should be stricken from the list.
Until further advices, shall receive on deposit
all Kentucky money in good credit at home, except
the Commercial Bank, all ohio and Virginia,
and all Tennessee money.

Providence had given her an "invalid husband
and half dozen children her salary as cler-
gyman is amply sufficient to pass them comfort
ably through life." Here is hint that our bach

DEAR SIR:-Your polite invitation to the cele-
bratlon of Tomorrow evening, was received to-
day.
Concentrations of the heroic deeds of public
benefactors, have my hearty sympathy. Too
now always deemed legitimate objects of inter-
est and attention. am not sure that they found
favor with the early settlers of New England.
While find myself, therefore, obliged to fore
60 the pleasure of meeting the New England
Society tonight, l take pleasure in sending you,
with hearty thanks for your cordial invitation,
the accompanying sentiment:
Holidays and Concentration give
rest to the over worked brain and sinews: and
quicken and refresh the best affections of the
heart.

We learn that the Mechanics and Farmers Blk.
at Springfield, has permanently closed, its bills
having been formerly protested on the 4th. The
affairs OF the bank have been placed in the hands
of Hon. John T. Stewart, as receiver.
1t seems that the Ill. State Register of the 4th
inst, was mistaken when it stated that this bank
would resume payment, as it has passed into the
hands of q receiver. The bills hereafter will be
bought by me at 40 per cent discount.

A Coop IDEA.-In view of the many recent los
ses in the mails, the Post Master General in his
annual report recommends system of registra-
ton of valuable letters to be sent under special
post bill and FIVE cents additional postage to be
charged for registration. system of checks for
the detection of missing letters and mail robbers
is also suggested. We trust something will be
done and some means devised to protect the pub
lie against the rapidly increasing depredations up
on the mails.-DemOcrat.
The best "system'' to reform the abuses COM
planned of, would be tho dismissal of the present
pumpkin-headed excuse for Post Master General
and put somebody in his place, who, at least,
knew enough of his duty to save something from
what now appears to be general wreck.--Chi.

SPrKINe GUss:---The following explanation of
the modern hetheds Of Ipiking guns will be inter
esting to many Of our readers:- .,,.,.
" The spikes are about four inches long, and
of the dimensions of a Tobacco pipe; the head fat,
barb at the point acts as a spring, which is
naturally pressed TO the shaft upon being forced
into the touch-hole. Upon reaching the chamber
of the gun it resumes its position, and it is i'm
possible to withdraw il. It can only he got out
by drilling-no easy task. IS they are made of the
hardest steel, and being also loose in the touch
hole, thore is much difficulty in making a drill
bite us eectualy as it should do. Its application
is the work of a moment, single tap on the fat
head with the palm of the hand sufhcing. This
can be easily done, even if it is ever so dark"
