From Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, Dec. 25.

The condition of the Money Market has not
changed materially since last week Money is
more abundant, aud the amount of unemployed
capital held by Banks and individuals. is &C
cumulating. Nothing is wanting but conf
dence to make money easy. Specie shipments
have entirely ceased the imports of foreign
goods are falling off every week, and the IL
quotation of Indebtedness at home and abroad
is going on rapidly. Our banks are in very
strong position; and an expansion of a million
of dollars could be made with safety. We think
that in New York, and in all the large cities,
we have seen the worst. There will undoubt-
eddy be more failures in different sections of
the country, and it will require months to re-
move the feeling of distrust that is now so prev
alent but the danger Of general commercial
crash is, in our opinion over.
Foreign Exchange is heavy and rates are so
low that specie can be imported at a profit.
Bankers are asking l08 to 10st for sterling.
buf good commercial bills arc in the market;
without finding purchasers, at over LOG to lO7
per cent. The supply of cotton is not large !;
low water and low prices have prevented as
large an amount as usual coming forward.
In Uncurrent Money the business has fallen
off considerably. The public is recovering
from the fright caused by Indiana Bank
failures, and there is not so much dispo-
sition to run to the brokers with everything
that does not happen to be bankable Curren-
cy is in more demand, and there is less accum-
ulaton at the redemption agencies Country
Banks are easier, and their balances here are
increasing. In New England, case of SUI
foik-ation occurs occasionally, but the number
of actual failures have been much less than
might have been expected +at
The redemption of the public debt this month
will he much larger than usual Over half a
million of Government Stocks have been sent
to Washington during the past week, by Saw
ings Banks in this city. The amount of specie
put in circulation this way during the month
will probably be over million of dollars, and
it will give timely relief
The amount of public debt outstanding on
the 10th day of November, was S44,975, 1856 OF
this, S5,oOo,OOo. Texan indemnity, is not yet
issued There is no other nation that has so
small debt, compared with it's population and
resources, and there is no other nation on the
face of the globe that is redeeming it's public
debt before maturity, and at premium.

The Fox DU LAC MINING CoMPANY.-As will
be seen by the advertisement in to-day's paper
this Company has completed an organization
under the general law of Wisconsin, in relation
to corporations. From what we learn on the
subject this Mining Company has one of the
best, if not the best, locations to commence
work upon on the south shore of Lake Supe-
rlor, having two distinct and well defined veins,
with perfect walls, bearing native copper, trace
able across the whole tract of their location.
The main rock is trap, of the gray amygda-
lodal character, so we'll known as being the
best copper-bearing rock on the Lake.

Raiiroad enlargement In Germany.

A correspondent of the New York San gives
an interesting account of the manner railroads
are managed in Germany:
every railroad company is bound by law
to have double crack on their lines, and no
person is allowed to walk on railroad track
at any time, by day or by night, under penalty
Of the law, A barrier, consisting of two strong
planks, is placed along the side of the tracks,
to keep off animals. Every fifteen or twenty
minutes along the track, there is station for
guard or watchman, who lives in little hut
beside the road and whose business it is to be
at his post, with red flag in his hand, at the
approach of every train; and before the train
is due to patrol his beat to see that all
is safe, and to remove all obstacles which
are sometimes placed upon the track by mis-
creants. In the case of danger, the guard
hoists on a telegraph, so called, which
stands near each guardhouse, red painted
'cdScet which can be seen by the engi
neer at great distance; but if everything
is right, the two wooden arms of the telegraph
are stretched in the air. During the night,
there j.. instead of the cascet, a lantern with a
deep red light placed in the air as a warning
Of danger, and common one if all is in safe
condition. AT every crossing, there is gate,
which is locked up as soon as the train is due,
and any one, either on horseback or in car
riage, who desires to cross must wait until the
train has passed"

TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
* ENTLEMEN.--The valuable medicinal
(T properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its Dauseous taste has
hitherto prevented lis administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual vsodus opeiandI" of prescribing II, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, beng liable
10 some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
rienced by some individuals in the deglutition OF
the Capsule or the small quantity OF Copaiba gems
orally found in the Emulsion. a8 d sh J.
Joyce's tasteless solution Of Copaibn Is the
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
medical profession, as it contains 90 per cent. OF

and al same time mixes clearly and freely with
wafer, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists In the old and

characteristics.
