CONDITION OF RICHMosD.-Itisg gratifying,
on this the beginning of the new year, to re-
fleet how nobly this communicates struggled
against adversely for some months past. The
revulsion in money matters forced home the
notes of our Banks, and they were compelled
to curtail their discounts to maintain the pro-
per relation between their circulation and
specie basis. This curtailment was met and
endured by our business men. Added to
this was the diversion of capital to buy stocks
which were so low in the market, and the
withdrawal of immense sums from the Savings
Banks, which had been used in commerce
here. Under this triple source of pressure
and slow payments from country debtors, the
merchants have maintained their credit and
continued their business AS an intelligent
Bank officer remarked, they literally "stood
up to the rack, without any fodder p
Having weathered the storm in this noble
manner, and distinct signs of Improvement
having taken place, we may congratulate
them upon the prospect of easier times close
at hand. Exchange-the great standard of
indebtedness-has fallen to one half per cent
and there is every reason to believe that
there will be more aid for them and the banks
be able to be more indulgent after to- day.

On The opsnipg of navigation, the Galesa Pack

Company to be upright and honorable, have ship
ped their goods on board of their boats, not

gated, would be strictly adhered to, but judge of
their surprise when few days since, bills were
presented on which the charge of serenty:fve cents
per hundred was made, instead of thirty. The
reason assigned, is the low state of the water but
what has this to do with the matter? If the
Company have made bad bargain should the
parties with whom they made the contract, be the
sufferers? And when Company advertise to
convey freight for given price, have they any
right to charge double that amount? We ask if
this is honorable and if it is, by what rule is it
