A Fragme mt.

No news again, and ever and ever again no
news. News in politics, war, literature, but not
the shadow of an item in the money world.
News from the Crimea and Westminster Hall,
from Congressman the great mad streets of the
big busy world-news even from the devil HIM
self by spiritual telegraph-but not word the
while from Shylock.
Exciting topics for the circle of intellectual
legs which radiate from the hot stove of the gen.
tleman's parlor at the Observation-Disclosures for
congratulaton, or4indignation, or speculation, or
calculation for the restless jaws of the dema-
gogue. Gossip for women-chit- chat for girls
-ssesthetc tea talk" for our transendental friend
in spectacles, and single ladies with passion for
the incomprehensible--bu nothing-not soli-
tary green leaf, does our Herald Dove bring
to us from the wide waste of financial intelligence.
We have half mind to invade the domain of the
general newspaper, to select our topics ad libium
and devote our money columns to the general in
terests of humanity.
What shall we deliberately condemn our gen.
us to the nutshell sphere of Counterfeit De-
tector or market-hawk ?-Are we mercenary by
contract and under moral obligation to grovel.
Has our blood only metallic circulation ? and
are the high-falutin strings of Editorial Soul
set to no music but the dollars clink? Forefend
it sacred nine We feel the God within us burn
ing an inspiration of most holy spleen rests on
us. Unwritten Philippics shoulder in our capa-
cious bosom. Walls of red wrath stand corked
ready to burst with thunderous defamation on
somebody or thing.
We advise the public to keep straight on gen.
eral subjects.-This high cacoethes was not given
us for nothing. If we should find it necessary
to throw the weight of our stupendous intellect
into either scale of the dispute now pending on
abbreviated skirts, shanghai pants, the ''chief
end of manor any other question of ethics,
or politics-there is an extreme probability that
We would affect public sentiment on these SUBJ
jects ga CONSIDERABLE
John, who seems to be afflicted with an insa-
table mania for s'copy" says he has no room for
the conclusion of our article-in which We I'M
dertook to discus the Railroad question in a fair
and impartial manner.-Our views on this SUBJ
ject are probably thereby lost to posterity.-

have altered the list of broken and discred-
tied Banks by striking out the Commercial Bank
of Kentucky. -
have lust received from the Cashier Of said
Bank letter in which they say that the 'sCom-
mercial Bank has never suspended, or refused to
redeem its paper with specie whenever called on.
There was never shadow to bare such report
upon. There has never been day in which the
Bank, or even the business men have ever refused
its notes.''
The immediate cause of the bills of said bank
being in discredt here, the refusal to receive
them, by the Bankers in Galena. This took place
as early as the LIST of Nov. last. Hereafter the
bills will be received at my counter at par.
The statement of the affairs of the Bank fur
nished me by the Cashier, shows it to be in sound
condition.
~ One of the most dangerous frauds. ever
executed in the United States, is to be found, in
in the alteration of the notes of the Shoe and
Leather Dealers Bank, of Boston. from ones to
800. The execution is so admirable, that it has
deceived several tellers of the Boston and other
bai,ks-who have actually received them, on de-
post, for genuine one hundred-dollar bills.
Gy As We announced some days ago, the re-
sumption of Page, Bacon Co., st. Lonis, takes
place tomorrow Thursday 18th inst. The pro-
tested drafts, &c. of that house will be paid to-
morrow by the Bank Of America, with interest
and cost of protest. The Philadelphia Bank
pays the drafts, &C., which have been protested
in Philadelphia.
The ridiculous story in morning journal that
the Illinois Central Railroad Company has twice
mortgaged some of its lands, and that the Com
pany has an intention to buy the Chicago, St.
Charles and Mississippi Railroad, is simply
bOSh.

CO stupenduous project has been started
in Australia, viz railroad with double track
Of seven hundred miles, and single track of
three hundred to connect with Sidney, Melbourne
and Adelaide The cost is estimated at one hum
dred millions of dollars. The chief features of
the scheme are that it seeks for the protection of
the Home Government, on condition that the lat
ter shall guarantee loan for its construction.
The interest to be chargeable on the general rev.
enue of South Australia, New South Wales and
Victoria, either in proportion to the length of
railway passing through each colony or in some
other ratio to the amount of the actual estimated
outlay or advantage of each colony.
A new counterfeit dollar bill on The Far
mers Bank of Orwell, VT, has just made its ap-
pearance in the Territory. My opinion 10 based
apon the facts that the whole appearance of it is
coarse. Orwell is spelt with one !, and no engra-
vers names appear on it. There are other defects
that might be pointed out, but those given are
sufficient to detect it. This counterfeit has not
been noticed in any Of the Eastern detectors that
have seen.
We learn that the authorities are about
to open street through the swamp in front Of
the Winslow House, from st. Anthony street to
the Capitol-No measure of public Improvement
is more needed than this-and when completed
will save the citizens Of upper town circuit of
at least a mile in their visits to the Capitol.
1t will materially enhance the value of proper
ty now locked up in mud. We understand the
specifications for draining &C., were before the
council last evening. We do not know the re-
suit.
Macon MONEY seems to be in bad repute. 1t
is refused at any price by nearly all of the Bank
ers in the city. 1t will be bought by me for the
present, at Is per cent. discount.

The arrival Of the steamer Baltic at New
York on Thursday last, brings us seven days
later intelligence from Europe. The intelligence
from Seyastopol is Of bat little interest though
we may expect to have some quite decisive re-
suits from that quarter by the next arrival
The allies have determined to make an assault
on the city as soon as the Turks reach the
northern SIDE and the Russians have abandoned
their outer works and retired to the forts, from
which they will sustain the attack of the allies
on the city. They have also fitted out fifteen
ships Of the line ready for sea, and viii doubt
less first resist the attack on the city before en-
countering the allied fleet.
When operations are again resumed the whole
aspect probably Of the seigc viii be changed,
and We may anticipate details Of the most san
culinary and bloody character. The Turkish
forces under Omar Pasha are expected to attack
seyastopol on the northern side, prior to the
commencement of the assault, and with rein
Inducements to the extent Of $4,000, to attack
the forces of Menschikoh, 4 most sanguinary
conflict may be anticipated.
The bill for the enlistment OF the Foreign Le-
gion has passed Parliament, and France has or

the expenses Of the war.
