0NF We heard on the street yesterday, tn the State Bank of Missouri had suspended specie payment. We merely give this as rumor, not knowing or caring whether it is cor rect or incorrect, 1t is of little consequence to us or the honest, hard working portion of this community. We want no banks, neither State nor private. We regard them all as mere machines to be worked, managed and controll- ed for the especial benefit and use of few pets and iavorites, and not for the public good.- We want no banks or bankers. Honest men can do without them, and there is an abund- ance of gold and silver in this community for all small transactions, and abundance of white paper to build individual notes on for all large transactions. We ask no favors of any of the banks in this State or any place else and have only assisted in bolsterng them up for a time, for the purpose of letting them down gradual ly. We still deal in currency to certain ex tent, because we cannot help ourself, but as soon as. we can do otherwise, we will not touch or handle paper money But before we take that position, we will insist upon the reduction of all prices to specie basis, instead of the pre- sent, which are currency prices.--&. Louis Herald.

Political Questions in Mexico.

The following are among the numerous pro- positions touching the political policy of the neighborng republic, which, 1t is said, will come up during the present session of Congress: 1, Conhscation to the government of the whole of the income from the sale of church property, authorized by the recent law. This would put about $2O,OO0,O00 in the national treasury in addition to what has already been realized by it from the same source. 2. Contiscation of ne-third of the whole pro- perty, cd6ces and all, of the religious orders of the republics; and the secularizatlon, as charita- ble public institutions, of the other two-thrds
 3. Total suppression of the convents and monasteries throughout the republic
 f. Expulsion of foreigner from the country; two years being allowed for those in business to wind up their affairs, the rest to make their exit within a twelve month. This absurd proposi- tion originates in the recent i'll feeling and diff iculties between the Creoes and Spaniards
 ). Abolition of cOnductas. The object of this also absurd proposition is to prevent so far as possible, the drain of specie from the coun- try.
 6. Modification of the tariff so as to facilitate the natural exchanges of the republic with for eign countries, the products of the Union alone excepted
 7. Increase of the naval force of the republic
 8. Establishment of an internal police of lO,- GOO men, the bette to prevent the depredations of bandits and robbers, A proposition for which there should be an unanimous vote
 9. Organization of "m marine and frontier guarl' of 10000 men for the prevention o: smuggling, which has been very extensive on the border the last year.
 10. Investment of the executive with dicta- toral powers, and the necessary suspension of the guarantees of the new constitution in con- sequence.
 This last was the absorbing question before Congress at latest advlces from the capital, and has probably been definitively acted upon be. fore now. The next mail will doubtless bring the decision upon which, in the opinion of the most judicious depend the good order or an archy of the Republic.

THE LONDON PoLIcEMEN.-A correspondent of the Utica Herald gves.the following descrip- ton of London Policeman:
 The policeman is one of the "sghts" of London He is never out of your reach You never notice him going off or coming on dutv ou see him standing at the crossing where you take the omnibus, at all hours-in sunshine and Tn storm-yesterday, to- day, last week. You may go away-travel around the globe-come back next year-and you will find him at the crossing still-the same grave countenance, the same white gloves, the same bright buttons. the same blue broadcloth the same mysterious num- Der on the collar. Apparently he has no friends: apparently he never eats or drinks or sleeps; ap- parently he has no name''or personal identity: he is an embodied :" M P.'' He never seems to know any body-and yet he would remember you ten years hence, in the remotest corner of the earth He apparently has nothing to do ex- cept walk about and stand at the crossings, and lounge about the theater doors, and watch the diversions of "millions;'' and yet somehow his eye plerces every where, his ear catches every sound and rustic, and his five senses are perpet ually going forth upon little exploring exped- tons into dens and vaults and noisome alleys and somehow you never hear any noise an wrangllng or foul oaths while he is near; and the buses never choke the thoroughfares He never seems to have any opinion; never haz ards remark or guess: never speculates on the weather. To the great problem of human progress; to the vexed questions of the taxes; to the momentous theme of the rebellion in India; to the great subject of temperance, di- vorce and ragged schools, he opposes the un- answerale argument of" Move on!"

ANOTHER BANK PARTY good many of the fe leerl papers at the north are attributing the present monetary crisis to the want of high tariff which they say throws the balance of trade against us. The Memphis Enquirer takes the ground that banks are necessary to civilization and that hard money currency would lead to barbarism. The West Tennes- see Whig says that all of our present troubles are for the want of the old United States B ank thinks Gen. Jackson did very wrong in put ting 1t down and that it ought to he revived
 From these and other indications we suppose We are to have another bank party in the coun- try. Let it come. There was never a better time to crush out such a movement than now The people. after having had a fair test of the United States bank, with Gen. Jackson at their lead crushed it out. They have since had fair experiment. with State banks, know their rottenness and are ready to wipe the last one of them from existence. If any gentleman, or party, think they can build themselves up by be- coming the champions of banks, let them come on Now IS the proper time to try it.-Nash- viUe Uuion and American

INDIAN PoLITENEss.-Th San Antonio Western Texan has an account from one of the San Diego mail party that at Cumanche Springs 45O Indians had just passed on their way down into Mexico on one of their plunderins expedi- tions. Near there they met several Mexican teams loaded with necessaries for Captain Pope's expedition. The Indian chief, with few of his men, called upon the wagonmaster of the train, told him that he had some fine animals and that he, the chief, would take forty of them which he did. He then took eight fenegas of corn, silver-mounted bowie knife, and some few other things, and then said to the Mexicans " am much obliged to you for these Now, sir, leave as fast as possible, for have had hard work to keep my men from plundering your whole train, and if you don't leave they may take all you have and kill you besides.
