The use OF money.

The New York Mirror says it is estim-
ated that one of our rich men (William
3. Astor) has now an income of So, 000
aday, or s 1,10O,000s a year. If wealth
led to happiness, Astor would be the
most cohtented man in the world. But
he. is not. To Keep away the govt he
feeds himself on Graham bread and in
dulges in a less generous diet than we
do. Astor, instead of being the happi-
est mdn in New York, is, perhaps, one
of the most disconnected. He is in law
with his tenants half of the time; and,
instead of taking the world kindly. he
spends eight hours of ten in reading
upon the Fstatutes offraud. Astor's in
come is $4,000 a day, and yet We could
furnish ali he consumes for So a week.
Such being the case, it strikes US that
the man who makes SIS a week is just
as we'll off as Astor. People who wor-
ship ducats, place a false estimation on
them. Three of the best things in the
world are obtained gratis-viz: pure wa
ter, pure air and unadulterated health.

THE SPIRIT RAPPING HUMBCG-The
proprictors of the Boston Guricr a short
time since, challenged DR.. II. T. Gard
ner, the famous spiritualist, to produce
some practical manifestation of their
pretended power, with $500 to be for
fcitcd in case such manifestation should
satisfy a committee, selected and APP
proved by both parties to the contract.
The challenge was accepted, and a com-
Mlittee named, consisting of Professor
Agassiz, Benjamin Pierce, B. A. Gould,
Jr., L. n. Horsford. After witnessing
the experiments, and patiently invcsti-
eating the thing, they have published a
report, and express the opinion that any
connection with spiritualistic circles, so
called, corrupts the morals and degrades
the intellect, and conclude with brand
ing the whole thing as q stupendous
delusion."

na-The New York Tsmcs predicts a
fall in the price of sugar. Just now,
there is a concerted movement among
the Spectators to keep it up,-but it
will not avail p
...Tho prospects for a full crop arc
highly encouraging. The high prices
which have ruled the past two years
have stimulated production, while they
have caused a diminution of consump-
ton, and the natural consequences are,
increasing stocks and Il tendency to low
er prices. Besides, the crop of Louis
lana promises to be nearly four times
greater than it was last year, and the
yield of Maple Sugar has been much lar
ger than it cver was before known"

THE RELIEF BILL.

The Relief Bill, as it passed both houses,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, is by no
means such measure as was desired, but
at a crisis like the present, it will not do
to be too captious, and hence We trust that
all the parties interested will endeavor to
make the most of this measure The tine
fixed for resumption, the second Tuesday in
April, is entirely too soon. 1t should be
remembered, however, that another Legis-
lature Will assemble meanwhile, so that any
notifications that may be deemed essential,
can be sought for at the hands of that
body. 1t is, moreover, not at all likely that
the banks of Philadelphia will be called up
on to resume while those of New York con-
,inue in state of suspension. The lead
ing provisions of the Act may be summed
up as follows: .ssid eaQt~ aTsH
1. A suspension of specie payments is
authorized until tae secoud Monday of
April, 1858. a
,. Dividends. not exceeding six per cent
may be declared during the period, of sus-
pension. M
8. The Act shall extend to the new banks
as well as to the old, and TO Savings, Trust
and Insurance Companies.
4. After January next, weekly state
meuts are to be made by all the backs.
5. The banks are to receive at par,iin
payment of all debts, the notes Of all the
solvent banks of the Commonwealth, which
paid specie prior to the first day of Septen-
her last. s33 ~ e
6. In case any President, or the najori-
u of the Board Of Directors shall certify
that any Bank is in an unsafe condition,
Commissionerseshall be appointed to make
an investigation.
:. The Collectors of taxes and tolls
throughout the Commonweslth are to re-
ceiye the notes Of suspended sanks in pay
ment of dues.
5. In easesIof Judgments, a stay Of exc
cution may be obtained for the term of one
year from the date of the passage of this
acs.
9. The banks in operation Shall decide
within thirty days, whether or not they will
accept the provisions Of the act, and if they
accept, they shall pay into the Treasury Of
the Commonwealth, on or before the first Of
January, 1858, sun equal to oDe-fourth
of ono per cent. upon tie capital stock Of
each bank, in addition to the amounts
which they are now trequired BY law TO
pay.
10. The Legislature reserves the right to
alter or annul the charter of any bank OF

II. No bank or Savings institution can
purchase the notes of any INCORPORATED
Bank Of this State, at less than tbeir mar
value. g ats5 2t1a i'l8a
y. No stock, bonds, notes. 15t ,r persona,
property hypothecated or held in pledge for
credit or money loaned, can be sold for the
period Of six months after the passage Of
this Act without the consent Of tie debtor
or party hypothecating.
13. The notice required for paynent
provided for in the Charters Savings Fund
and Trust Companies is extended for the
period of two months, in all Sums exceeding
one hundred dollars.
II vii be seen from the foregoing out
line, that some Of the provisions Of the bill
are are quite remarkable. But, as already in
I stiFnated, the gopd and the bad must be ta-
ken together, and the banks and all others
concerned must govern themselves accords
lngi5. ne measure was intended as re-
lief measure, s'F not only for the banks, bu. for
the the business lt community at large, and such,
VIC trust, il will prove. Let our MONETARY
institutions pursue at once bold, manly
and liberal course, and all viii soon be well.

john MITCMEL DOWN SOUTH.

John Mitchell. the "Irish patriot" was
exilcd from his native country to Botany
Bay, on account of his love Of liberty; and
il would seem that the wisdom of the
English Government in selecting that re-
mote region with the view of curing its
subjects who happen to BE- afflicted with
fanatical zeal in behalf Of freedom, was
fully verified in his case. So complete
was the revolution produced iu his senti-
ments, that he actually began TO sigh for
"a plantation stocked with fat negroes" /"
Suffering bis Imagination to run upon this
Ideal of terrestrial Paradise, his whole
soul was at icagth absorbed in ii, until his
honor fell an easy prey to the common en-
emy of souls. He violated his parol, oroath
which bound him as gentleman and man
Of houor to keep within certain bounds;
he fed to the United States, and immedi-
ately set upa newspaper III New York.
which was specially devoted to the adyo-
cacy Of The rights Of tie Irish aud the
wrongs of the negroes. The paper was
bad speculation, and be forthwith took
up a Decline for Alabama; but, from
some cause which we are unable to ex-
plain, he has halted for while at Knox
vile, IN Tennessee, where he proposes the
establishment of another newspaper, sim
liar to his New York Citizen, with the addi-
tional feature of advocating the revival Of
the African slave trade.
But Notwithstanding these signal evil
deuces of the Irish patriots devotion to
the South, he has actually been kicked
and cuffed, bulied and brow-beaten, on
Southern soil, by Southern editor. Was
such ingratitude ever heard of Is the
South run mad?
| The facts are simply these: Mr.. Mitchell
had subjected himselfto the criticism of the
editor of the Knoxville Register, by some
lectures be had delivered in that place, the
nature Of which we have not been made ac-
quainted with. The criticisms induced
Mr.. Mitchell to attack the editor in the
street with his cane, which broke at the
first blow, and resulted in somewhat of .
drubbiug to the assailant, which would
have been still more severe but for the in
reference of the police.
But the editor, not satisfied with the
advantage he had gained, armed himself
and took an early opportunity to salute
him of the Emerald Isle with such com
pliments as are implied in the terms "cow
ard, "scoundrel," etc., and at the SAM
time, dared him to fair fight on equa
terms. Now, mark the good man Mr.
Mitchell, who had seen his error, thougI
