The Banks and the Currency.

1.-THE idea of redeemable paper currency
was carried into effect for the first time on
this side of the Atlantic by the Bank of North
America, which was established at Philadel-
phia, at the close of the revolutionary war
by Robert Morris. chiefly rs an assistance to
him in the difficult Office of Superintendent of
the continental finances. The use of this sort
of currency, added to the convenience of
loans to merchants, proved to be so satisfac-
tory, that banks were not long afterwards
established at New York, Boston and Balt-
more-one in each of those cities.
These four were the only banks in existence
in this country, when the first bank of the
United States was chartered by Congress in
1871.
During the siNty-seven years which have
elapsed since then. our country has enjoyed a
degree of general prosperity unparalleled in
the history of nations. With the growth of
he country has grown the System Of re-
deemable paper currency. With the increase
in population and wealth have increased the
number of banks and the amount Of banking
capital. and we have now upwards of fourteen
hundred banks, with an aggregate capital Of
a bout four hundred millions of dollars
In thus establishing, encouraging protect
ing. and extending the redcemable paper
system, the American people have attested in
the strongest possible manner their sense of
its great convenience and utility. As
people they are characterised by rare shrewd-
ness in their business pursuits. Having tried
the redeemable paper system for more than
half century must they not be taken to be
competent TO judge of its claims to their fav-

other and distant channels Great as are the
injuries inflicted by these overfows, they are
after all but occasional and partial. and are
esteemed as Insignificant: when compared to
the vast and incaleulable advantages con-
ferred by this mighty stream upon the mil
lions of prosperous people who inhabit the
great valley through which it flows,
So with our banks. They occasionally
over-issue, and at times suspensions and
failures take place. but the aggregate of
losses and Inconvenience thereby occasioned
to the community an are more to be compared
to the aggregate of benefits they have con-
ferred upon the country, than the losses
and inconvenieuces exp.ricnced from the oc-
casional overfiows of the Mississippi to be
compared to the great, general and perma-
nent benefits derived from its existence.

TT Inspector" the Washington cores
pendent of the ". y Courier and Enquirer,
writes
THE declining state of the revenues proves
that the whole of the twenty milliod loan will
be necessary, and that an increase of duties
can alone avert the evils of a permanent
national debt. There is not much partizan
feeling on the subject, and the greatest
difficulty to be apprehended, when the ques-
ton comes up for discussion in Congoess, is
sectional and geographical excitement. Direct
taxation will be suggested and will receive
the support of small minority, especially of
that remnant of the notification and secession
party, who hope to make the Uuion odious,
by making its burthens intolerable. The
taxation of tea and coffee has been suggested
as an effectual means of replenishing the Ex-
chequer, but it is likely to meet with but
little favor. The West will be found unani-
nous against it. The controversy will
probably result in a substantial and practical
return to the system of 1872"

Though much has already been published
respecting our recent distinguished visiter,
Dynati's comet, there are many who will be
interested in the following extracts from an
article in the London Times. suggested by
the calculations of astronomers estimating
the time of this comets journey round the
sun at 2.595 years. The Times says:
Modern science established that the range
of our present visiter, though immensely
wide compared with our planetary proper
tions, is straitened indeed. compared with
stellar distances. He has his teiher in the
attraction of the sun, as we have. He can
travel. indeed, $50 times further from the
sun than we can, and about II times further
than Neptune, the most distant and last dis
covered planet of our system; but even this
does not carry him one-thousandth part of the
distance of the nearest fixed star. Let any
one take half sheet of note paper, and mark
ing circle with sixpence in one corner of
it, describe therein our solar system, drawing
the orbits of the earth and the inferior planets
as small as he can by the aid of magnifying
glass. If the circumference of the siXpence
stands for the orbit of Neptune, then an oval
filling the page will fairly represent the orbit
of our comet and if the paper be laid on the
pavement under the west door OF st. Paui's.
the length of that edifice will inadequately
represent the distance of the nearest fixed
star. That the comet should take more than
1000 years to travel round the page of note
paper we have supposed is explained by its
great diminution of speed as it recedes from
the sun.
At its perihelion. as we have seen it move
lately, it has travelled 127 900 miles an hour,
or more than twice fast the earth. whose
motion is about a thousand miles minute
At its aphelion. however, or greatest distance
from the sun, the comet is a very slow body,
sailing along as if doubtful whether to return
at the rate Of 480 miles an hour. This is
only eight times the speed of a railway ex-
press. AT this pace, even if the comet could
wholly shake of the attraction of the sun.
which it certainly could not, and were it to
travel onward in a straight line.the lapse of
million years would find it still travelling
half way between our sun and the nearest
fixed star. Comets, then, can hardly be
imagined visiters from our system to any
other. or from any other to our own. There
is every reason to believe they belong to us,
and are only planets of a lighter material.
less settled construction, more eccentric
orbits, and somewhat more devious paths than
our own solid globe. 1t is hardly possible to
look at them without seeing that they re-
plenish, and perhaps witty, the subtle
medium through which they diffuse their
bright products, and which offers certain
resistance to their motion. As to danger of
collision, of blighting shower, or pernicious
breath, it is as nothing compared with the
thousand and one chances on which mortal
life depends. 1t always hangs thread.
and that thread is not weakened to the amount
of one fibre, by all the millions of comets
which French philosopher calculates to
move in our system.

The property Of the organization IS
