MosKY.-The New York Herald saws in

MoNEY.-Ihe New York Herald says in
reference to the unprecedented amount of
specie in the vaults of the New York banks:
One thing is certain, the accumulation Of
money at the great financial centres of the
world must necessarily be the forerunner of
period ofintense excitement and expansion.
There is no use in saying that the example
OF the late breakdown will deter US. 1t is
nonsense to talk ofthe still surviving troubles
Impending speculative movement. No
such movement was ever stopped or checked
by recollectiOns, however vivid, of former
troubles. As body, mankind are striking
ly coniemptuous of experience. And there
is another point worth considering. When.
ever necessary consumation is foreseen, it
may be taken for granted that it is upon us.
When people say on solid grounds that there
will be failures in October, they generally
come in August; when the public forcSs
speculation in August, it breaks forth in
June.
Practically, the accumulation of money in
the banks is a very disastrous and melan-
choly token; implying stagnation in trade,
dulness in industry, and u general falling off
here in wages, there in profits, there in food.
But as the foolish man conceves himself to
be richer when he has sold his house and
lands for half their cost, and reoices in the
sight of the shining gold pieces, so the coun-
try looks weal,hier as in fact it grows poorer
and just as the fool aforesaid is more likely
to be careless of his money when he sees i.
before him in coin, than when it was yielding
him revenue in houses and lands, so the
people of the United States, seeing the mil
lions accumulate in the banks, are certain to
forget the sorrow which drove it there, and
to fly into all manner of speculations just to
keep it a going.

PUBLIC TAsTE.-A scandalous adultery
case occurred n short time ago at Palmer,
Mass, one of the worst on record. The
Palmer Journal, a small country sheet, bossts
of having sold over two thousand copies of
its paper, containing minute description of
the case. The Journal proposes next week
to publish funeral sermon delivered at the
funeral of Miss Shaw in that place, and
expresses hope that "publiciaste will war
rant us in disposing of as large number of
copies as we did of our extra, containing the
particulars of a scandalous adultery case."-
lis "hope" will prove unfonnded.

The LEvIATHAN TO be OUTDoNE.-A big
ger boat than the Leviathan is already talked
ofin England. 1t is intended that this Few
monster shall carry 5000 tons more than the
Leviathan-is to run faster, and draw less
water. An engineer of Liverpool, named
Char proposes to build ship 1000 feet in
length, 10 feet beam, and only 80 feet from
deck to keel, making her perfectly fiat bot
toned and her sides perfectly square. In
size she would be 10000.
We will not be surprised to hear, one of
these days, that some engineer proposes to
build n bridge across the Atlantic, with hotels,
arranged at convenient distances apart, for
the comfort of travellers.

REsUMNG SPECIE PAYMENTs.-The Au-
gusta Despatch, Of the Sd saws: Our Banks
have quietly resumed specie payment-so
quietly, that but for the announcement in
the papers, nobody would have known it,
We have heard Of no calls for specie, and
expect TO hear of none, resulting from
want of confidence. Our business interests
feel temporary strngency, resulting from
the necessary contraction of the Banks, and
the Inconvenience of mixed currency. This
state of things will continue unit, the Caro-.
lima Banks resume.
The same paper contains the following
paragraph:
Interior Banks.-The Bank of Fulton, and
the Bank of Athens each resumed specie
payment on Saturday. These banks, like
those of our city, have responded to the ne
cessities of the people in their respective 10.
calites, for specie during their period of sus.
pension, and are ready to take position among
the soundest institutions of the State.

How TO Cool WATER.-If it is desired to
cool water Cor drinking in warm weather, and
ice cannot be obtained for this purpose, let it
be kept in an unglazed earthernware pitcher,
wrapped around with two or three folds of
coarse cotton cloth, kept constantly wet
The theory of cooling water in this manner
is the absorption of heat from it by the evap-
Grafton Of the moisture in the cotton cloth
expansion produces cold, compression heat.

MYSTERIOUS FIRING AT SEA.-Capt. Low
den, of the schooner Asa Hartridge, which
arrived in our port last evening, says the
Savannah News of Monday, reports that, on
last Thursday night, about o'clock, while
in the Eastern edge of the Gulf of Mexico,
he heard, at a distance of about ten miles, in
a South-westerly direction, quick and rap
id firing, as if two parties were engaged in a
naval combat. He could distinctly see the
explosion ofguns, and from the sound, sup
posed they were 80 Founders. lie counted
60 reports, in such rapid succession that the
guns must have been quite numerous.
We have heard Of various surmises as to
the cause of this firing. 1t is the opinion of
some that it was the Spanish fleet, known
TO be in the Gulf, exercising its men-but it
is not likely that they would have selected so
late an hour. 1t is more likely TO have been
an encounter with n SLAYER or suspected fill
buster. We see it stated in the Baltimore
papers that vessel was seized there few
days ago, having on board one hundred men,
who represented themselves MS laborers going
to Havana to build railroad. This NAV
have been part Of a flibustering expedition,
another part Of which might have been en-
conntered in the Gull. We shall probably
know in few days.

DAUGHTER OF THE REGmENT-The
beautiful fancy which forms the idea of Doni-
zetti's opera has suggested to more than one
military corps tho adoption of the child of a
beloved comrade deceased. The most inter-
esting instance Of which we have heard is
that of the adoption by the New York Ma
tonal Guards, of the daughter of n deceased
officer. The regiment, one thousand strong,
are regularly taxed 81 each per annum, and
the surplus, after providing for her support
and education, is invested to form her dove
ry An exchange paper says:
"The young lady, now about l6 years old,
has grown up beautiful, intelligent and ac-
complished, and is well off, and doubtless she
looks upon her gallant guardians with all the
love, honor and enthusiasm that Marie did
on the brave Sulpice and the gallant 2lst in
the Opera"

The English and the Atlantic Coblc-The
Characteristic Celebrations.

The comments Of the press in England and
France, and, indeed, throughout the continent
81 Europe, upon the different manner in which
the successful laying Of the Atlantic telegraph
las been received by the people Of the several
nationalitics, afford curious exhibition OF
superlative egotisn.
In France, and on the continent generally, the
event has been passed over A. an affair Of little
importance to them; and those who foresee tn
immense results II may produce to Europe do
not like to speculate upon the subject In Eng
land the case Is different The press there IL
more free than on the continent, and the int
rests that will be stimulated by the cable are
fai more wide spread. The English journals
have. therefore, taken the subject much more
freely in band, and with few exceptions, they
do not at all like the way in which we Americans
have celebrated the event. AT first they tell
us that we had very little to do with the mat
ter; that "the idea was started and worked
out IN England, and there formed into a
practical plan and company;" that "by
THE company the money was almost en-
tircly raised in England" and that, in
fact, the whole thing was really the
result Of English science, English money
and Englishmen." But seeing that these cool
assumptions do not give logical reason for the
keen appreciation on our side and the dull re-
cogntion on theirs Of the great results to follow
Che laying Of the cable, they turn around and
assert that the event is no such great thing after
all. That they "have done and seen done great
CT things" that they are not In the youth OF ex
isience as nation, but shave an historical past
crowded with great events" and, finally, that
they have been more staid in their rejoicings
because they are "an older and a soberer peo-
pie"
Now, The whole truth Of The matter Is.

TwADDLNG PoIITIcIANs.-The nincompoops of
the Tribune recommend the union of all the anti
Lecomptonites numbering, as they pretend,
forty thousand in this city, to defeat the Tam
many ticket. There are probably not more than
score of persons in this CITY, outside of the
Fourierite den, who care one button about Kan
sas, Lecompton, or all the niggers that have ever
been or ever will be there. The great evil which
we have to suffer in public matters in this city
comes from these blockheads in politics, these
nincompoops in public affairs, who conduct such
stupid journals as the Tribune and papers of its
caste. Here is city taxed to the extent Of ten
millions annually, with majority, or nearly So
Of tax-paying voters, and with government not
worth half the amount paid for it, which cannot
unite to enforce good government despite the
schemes Of needy politicians and the balderdash
of journalists about niggers, border ru6ians and
all such political trash. The spectacle is enough
to turn honest men sick.
