MONETARY.

MONETAHYs
Money is getting inconveniently easy in New
York-Bankers find it hard to make profitable in
vestments of their surplus.
The mammoth failures which frightened the
country from its propriety, have thus far had an
effect precisely opposite to that anticipated. The
immense amount Of capital absorbed in bolster
ing up the ricketty credit of these concerns, is
thrown back upon the Banks. In the meantime
our local market is getting tighter,-loans on
Real Estate securities are not made less than 3
per cent. per month. Personal security is seldom
accepted, except for small amounts and on short
time. Demand loans 2 to 2 l-2 per cent.-frst
class paper to 5 per cent.
Our advices from Indiana inform us that India
ma money is heavy at homeland that sight ex-
change is as scarce there as it is here.

TAXES.

In answer to correspondents abroad, we would
state that County Taxes for the year 1854, must
be paid before April LIST, 1855, or the property
taxed will be sold. City Taxes on St. Paul pro-
Persy' must be paid before the first Monday in
February, or property viii be sold. Lands sold
for taxes are redeemable at any time within 8
years from date Of sale. An interest of q DER
cent. is added to the original tax in this case.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. &c.
Miss Lousia Bradley of this city, made fine
ballon ascension this morning from Easton. She
assembled to great height, when the balloon ex-
ploded and she came down, landing some four
miles from Easton in safety. The collapsed bal
loon afforded kind of parachute. The excite
ment was intense until word came that she was
uniniured.

CT At a funeral in Oswego, about fifty per-
sons, mostly ladies, had assembled around cof-
fin in an upper chamber, when the floor gave way
precipitating the whole party living and dead,
with the furniture of the room, to the floor be-
low, amidst terrible cries and groans. No one
was fatally injured, but many cut and bruised
and one woman had leg broken.

A DRY SUBJECT.

Inc last months OF winter are Win us more en-
phaticaly than any where else, the season of the
greatest monetary misunderstanding al
most exclusively on sources of supply external
to ourselves, on the annual influx of the capital
which seeks investment in our soil, and on the
yearly expenditures of the General Government
among the various Indian tribes in our neighbor-
hood, and in appropriations for works of general
utility,-when winter cuts off these adventitious
resources, our circulation decreases to the extent
of several thousand dollars weekly, till the open
ing of spring navigation.
Buying half we eat and all VIC wcar-buying,
buying, all the time participating all the time,
always paying in cash-with nothing to weigh
against this rapid and continual absorption, but
the few packages of furs which constitute the
sum of our exports, it is natural to expect that
money will be scarce towards the end of the win
ter months, when the market has been raked for
the last instalments due upon the plethoric in
voices of our merchants at the East natural that
delays should be purchased at ruinous sacrifices,
that our securities should be exhausted in the &C.
emulation of membranes on every description
of property.
side of the territory. We are paying for Is use
an everage of l-2 per cent. per annum. We
have no earthly means of repayment except in
the rise of the real estate mortgaged to secure it.
These are the facts which appear at the surface
of our financial economy and upon which the pro-
fessional croaker POUNDS his stereotyped presagc
of impending disasters. Real estate, he tells us,
cannot always rise in the ratio of the last few
years always tending towards a fixed value, it
cannot pass beyond that without reaction-ruin !;
almost the sole basis of monied operations when
it deprecatcs, when it pauses even, in its upward
movement, the result will be universal crash.
But the alarmist forgets that grand system of
compensation is maturing under all the waste and
buster of the present /; that unseen processes of
internal growth, are going on around US all the
time, that in every log hut and farm house, mill and
workshop, the elements of prosperity are 81
lcnty assimilating in rich secretons of wealth and
substance-that if the flower fades easily on the
transpanted tree, the root meanwhile strikes deep
into the soil--he forgets that that same real es-
tate is fast passing from the speculator to the
producer, from fictitious to real value ; that
in proportion to the increase of our population,
our imports are rapidly diminishing; that the
sphere of industrial Development is constantly
enlarging, as the uncertain and external sources
of supply diminish.

No prescriptions were made last week at this
Office.
1t is observable that almost all entries are made
with cash.
There are scarcely any Land Warrants in the
market-and indeed the demand for them is by
no means lively,-a fact which may be accounted
for by the uncertain validity of this sort of paper
arising from the frequent defects in the mode
of transfer and in other circumstances, by which
buyers are subjected to delay, or loss in part or

UNREAL ESTATE.
Preparations arc being made on grand scale
by some of our entcrprising land dealers to meet
the exigencies of the spring trade, and anticipate
every possible phase of the rich mans tastes or
the poor mans necessities.
2 acre lots, acre lots, and 10 acre lots, square
lots rectangular lots, and rhombridal lots, regu-
lar or irregular, active, passive or neuter with
or without railroad at the back door, and there
are some laid out ON quiet lake sides, and balted
with the charming incidents of rural loneliness );
cottage home, secluson-cabbages, turnips,
babies and other vegetable productions. Flowers,
too, whose blushing petals open with grateful
orison of odOrs to- the morning sun-pug- nosed
pups pitching into pert pigs without provocation,
queenly pullets pecking coyly under the medita-
tive nose of sold Bess," or some such quadru-
pedal dear, for though ten acre lot be a narrow
pasturage, the poor man must have his COW.
There should be ducks, beside, to add their
grace and beauty to the quiet fascination of the
the Lake scene. There should be this and that,
AMI this first above all, chief charm of all
Sophonisba somewhere in the little cottage
home-Sophonisba, say at sunset, seated close
glows fitfully in the red western ray-and shad-
ows steal like phantoms around its wooded shores
with the dark eyes watching thoughtfully the
changing tints of the fading sky-and turning at
last, when all grows dark there to that others face
beside her, as if that only changed not-as if af-
ter all the light she sought was only there. Then
low voices, one a sweet soft one, mingle with the
myriad sounds that float on the bland air of eve
wing; and the old story told a thousand times
before is told again.
Darker shadows deepen round the head lands
of the lake, and paler beams CLEAN on its bosom.
The stars are out, cold-cold, and afar of.
Draw the curtains on the glory high above you;
you have enough for king in the compass of
your arms, and-pshaw nonsense, but it is very
pleasant nonsense-Jeremiah-v
What if the candle that you light to talk by is
but tallow, you being but poor devil, and ow-
ing something on your 10 acre lot what if you
have no light at all, there is greater brightness
on your life now, my dear Jerry, than gas can
give to ducal palaces with 900 acres to pasture
their poor pride of birth upon.
That " eminently practical individual," Mr..
Gradgrnd, has possibly not the slightest idea that
among all the deeds he executes in due form of
law, there is any one interpolated from top to
bottom, with such ridiculous stuff as that but
it is nevertheless fact capable of being express
cd in good hexameter. and put to music-and not
therefore a fact of the Gradgrind stamp.
