OSrThere is rapid diminution OF the
funds in the U. S. Treasury, under the
financial pressure. In the week ending
Oct 2. the receipts into the Treasury
xere only 100000, and the disburse-
ments were S1,S29OO0. making the ex-
cess of payments $1,le9,0OO. The eff
fects Of the pressure have not begun tc
operate on the imports and revenue
When they begin to fall off the large
balance in the public Treasury will be
rapidly absorbed, and before the close o
the year. it it not improbable, the Secre
tary Of the Treasury may be in the mar
ket for U. s. Loan.

Our city loses valuable and esteemed
citizen in the departure cf the Rev. Mr..
Tenbroeck Of St. Paul's Church, who ac-
cepts an invitation Of the Episcopal
Church in Lafayette, to become their pas
Tor, and leaves our city the present week
to assume the duties OF his new charge.
His resignation is a loss to his congrega-
ton not easily supplied, apong whom
his life has. been an illustration OF the
power Of the doctrine he breaches, while
his eloquence and ripe scholarship has
made the sanctuary attractive to the in
tellectual and those who feel the need Of
seeking Heavenly Fathers support and
comfort. As citizen-as scholar-as
a gentleman Of refined and pure tastes
of polished and genial manners, he vii
be missed in the social circles, and in al
the walks OF life among US. Those whC
receive him will soon learn to appreciate
his worth, as we have fully done only
when we were about to lose him.

The TENNESSEE BANKS. - Accounts

that tn citizens Of Murfresboro have so
much confidence in the stability of the

The Bank of Sheibyville has irnrnedi
ate liabilities to the amount OF $780, 600
to meet which she has good assets, avail
able in sixty days, to the amount o.
$4,000, being nearly two dollars fol

A Valuable Invention.
We described some months ago ar

vention by the lamented DR.. John Cor
ne. formerly Of Florida, by which the
temperature Of room or building could
b reduced and maintained permanently
ut any given degree. below or above
freezing point, and which promised to be
of vast utility in forming ice and preserv-
ing perishable articles in warm weather
and hot climates. The great desideratum
is attained by first COMPRISING the air
and expelling its latent heat, and then
allowing it to expand in the space to be
cooled. by which the sensible heat of the
apartment is absorbed. By this simple
process ice has been formed in the hot
test August temperature at a cost Of two
or three dollars per ton. By properly
arranged rooms, the temperature Of
warehouse could be kept at freezing
point, and green fruits, butter, fresh
meats and all perishable articles could
be preserved as safely for days and weeks
in the tropics as in an arctic winter. We
see that this valuable invention has been
applied to railroad cars, in which fruits,
vegetables and fresh meats can be trans
ported in the hottest weather from the
most distant parts of the country to the
eastern markets. A company has been
formed and cars prepared, and expert
ments tried on the New York railroads.
The company is called 1.-THE Market Car
Company" and it is their design to en-
gage in the purchase Of fruits, vegetables,
poultry and game in the distant Western
States for the New York market. Only
. few cars have yet been prepared, but
they will go largely into the business
In recent experiment cars loaded with
fruit and poultry were carried from the
West safely to the New York market,
though they were delayed by accident
for eleven days on the road, in hot wealth
er, in perfect order. BY one arrival, if
teen hundred turkeys. chickens, geese,
&C., and one hundred and eighty carcas
es Of mutton, were delivered in the New
York market, in as good condition as
when first placed in the car. in which
they remained nineteen days.
This valuable discovery is capable OF
being applied to thousand useful pur-
poses, and to many conveniences and
comforts of life. A dwelling in the trop-
les may be kept at the cool temperature
Of . Northern watering place. The fat
beeves that roam the prairies Of Texas
and the pampas Of South America, can
be slaughtered and packed on their ma
tive plains. and then shipped to all parts
ofthe world.
aa We see this important invention is at
tributed to a Mr.. Lyman; he may have
applied it TO railroad cars but the pro.
cess aud the machinery for effecting i,
was the discovery and work OF DR.. John
Gorrie. man as eminent for his genius
and scientific .attainments, as he was be
loved for his many amiable traits of char
acter, and his genial and unassumins
manners The writer of this, witnesse,
the successful experiment of DR.. G. tel
years ago, when he froze bottles Of cham
payne wine, in room ten by twelve feet
while the external atmospherewas at 81
or 95 degrees.

ILLINOIS MoNEY.-The citizens Of St.

meeting, to adopt the notes of the ILL

receive and pass it at par, and we are in
formed that il at once went into general
circulation. This measure will raise the
value of the bills as currency here (; some
similar plan should be adopted by our
own citizens to establish some common
medium Of trade.
