The "CHEF MouRSER."-There is a genius in
this city, yclept Hatfield who has earned a reputa-
ton in a novel manner which will not greatly
serve him in time of need The detectives have his
daguerreotype, as well those Of some of his con
freres. He operates ingeniously, and with marked
success, in a mode Of fnuncering which a common
thief would hardly have thought of IL is his wont
10 attend funerals and al the customary exhibition
Of the corpse, to press to the side OF the coffin,
there to miuge his tears with those Of the friends
If the deceased. Hence the s0u5riquef of Chief
MOuruer" has come TO be his ordinary appelation
in police circles and other associations where men
Of his character are known. While honoring the
deceased, be keeps eye open for the living, as
did the Ephessn widow; and as others come near
TO take last view, he c5ntrives to relieve their
pockets Of whatever valuabies they may contain
His operations had become so extensive that il was
found necessary, by the bereayed to keep their at
tentiOn the alert, and the result was the detec-
ton Of the lugubrious gentleman Of whom we have
been writing. He is q shreWd financial man, and
has been unusually successful in his peculiar de-

Capital continues to aecumulate in New York, and
the searching Of holders after first class paper is
represented as keener than at any time yet, and
many Of the banks begin to feel little uneasy as to
how they are to employ their funds thirty days
hence. We would not be surprised, says the Zee.
ming Past to see further faIl Of to per cent. in
the rate before sixty days elapse. The revival in
business in April which Fas looked for Is not real
lied The condition Of things is awakening bank
officers to the importance Of looking sitter other in
vestments. Judging from the interest manifested,
we expect to see spirited bidding for the next Treas
ury note loan.
The New York Herald Of the 29th ult., in speaking
Of the financial plethora, says: aA
The banks of this city now hold nearly thirty six
millions in specie. There is no prospect Of any
such revival in foreign exchange as would Justify
the renewal Of shipments of specie to Europe before
the fall; and is more than likely that the ship.
mens will be very light for the whole Of the coming
twelve months. We are taking so little il the way
Of goods from Europe that the debt that We shall
have to pay viii be very small indeed. There is no
exaggeratiOn therefore in presuming that the next
three months, to wit; Nay, June, aud July, will
add from ten to fifteen millions to our specie reserve
and that in the beginning Of August the banks will
End themselves with specie accumulation Of from
forty five to Fifty millions Of dollars. Indeed the
influx Of specie to the financial centres Of the world
does not proceed alone from the gold producing re-
gions, but rather flows from the pockets of private
individuals Who in ordinary times, keep certain
amount Of coin in circulation, there is every ground
for believing that the gain Of banks during the
next three months may be much larger. The coun-
try is supposed to contain some $3.50, OO0,O 600 in
specie; of this We can find some SIS, 900 in banks
the balance-which is now in the purses Of private
individuals-may be banked to great extent if this
stagRation in trade continues.

Mr. BELL proceeded briefly to assign the reasons
which had determined him TO vote against the sub

say that it offered any bride to the people OF Kansas
nor would he curiously inquire how far II was con

Certain il was that it did give the people Of that
Territority an opportunity to pass upon he Leoomp-

surance or certainty CT closing up the question at
an early day In case the people rejected the pro
position Of Congress the whole difficulty remained
outstanding as the fertile source Of future agtstions

probability would have received his support. As it
was IL seemed to afford only new evidence that
neither Of the two political considerations who were
parties to this sectional contest sincerely desired to

| FINANCIAL PRosPRCTs- The U. S. Economist says :
The great contraction of credits throughout Europe
and America has led to the most extraordinary accu
mutation Of specie in every market. Before the
late cOnvusiOn Of trade, the most remarkable cir
cumstance the great scarcity Of metallic money,
ami the largest quantities Of gold produced
with such constant regularity. For the first time
since the discovery of the gold mines of California
and Australia, the supply OF the precious metals has
become superintendent, and seems likely TO continue
so for an indefinite period. The immediate cOnse-
quence Of the discoveries of gold was TO extend
trade, commerce and agriculture, and almost every
description of enterprise, however long time
required TO complete them. This induced a great
extension Of confidence credit, which a draft
on future production Mercantile paper, bills of ex
change, and other forms Of credit-all founded on
c3nhdeuce-Wc7e created 10 an immense amount
In every branch Of trade and commerce these credits
we're pushed 70 eZ 7ss Production, so long stimU-
lated, exceeded at length the demand Everything
was overdone for the time. There we're too many
railroads and other undertakings, without sufficient
capital TO complete them until, at last, there
too many borrowers for the capital at command.
The stimulus given by the increase Of gold TO bus
mess became last too great for tincreas
cd quantity Of gold to carry on; yet credits
extended until, a. length, they fairly broke down.
The rOttenness Of much Of the credit given could no
longer be covered up. A general crash Credit
is unduly, but unsvOidably, contracted, and the
result is an unusual oversuppiy Of gold out Of
circulation. Credit is requisite for future prOduG-
JiOu. The existence Of so much gold, however, en-
sures the renewal of credits after time, by which
means alone it can be made productive.
The present spring and coming summer will not
witness any large re extension Of credits, so to
relieve the market from its plethora. The importa
tions show the enoreus reduction from last year Of
$50 2S4 l65. The great amount of overdue and
undischarged Indebtedness from Inc interior to New
York, and from this country to Europe weighs like
an incubus Oh an immediate re expansion Of credits.
Confidence is in allegiance, and until the extended
Indebtedness Of last year is better paid up, will
hardly improve The movement Of the produce Of
the country to the eastern markets and the ports of
shipment, will be the preparatory step towards
better liquidation Of past debts and renewal Of
credits. The coming opening of the canals and of
Western navigation will afford the facilities and
the necessities Of the owners Of cereal produce and
provisions will compel early movement in spite Of
unatiraotively low prices.

REJOICNGs AT THE REsULT.-The announcement
that victory had been gained in each branch of
Congress by the true Supporters Of the administration
over all factions and combinations, spre6d over
the metropolis in very short time, and crowds came
out 10 enjoy the triumph, and TO exchange congrat
ulations. Those Senators and Representatives who
had aided in achieving the passage Of the bill re-
ceived the cordial thanks of their fellow citizens
and every one appeared to be in the best Of humor
except an occasional Black Republican, his Oeeu-
patton gone" The result had been so decisive,
that even the most sangune of these agitatng gen
tlemen did not appear 10 have the least hope that
anything " turn up to comfort them.
Meanwhile the cannoniers under the direction Of
Mr.. J. T. HollOhan) made their preparations, and
soon advised our eXpectant friends at Alexandria
SO and the rest of mankind" that the Kansas ques
ton is bauished from the halls of Congress The
" loud music Of the canuon's thunder pealed forth
national salute of thirty-tUO guns, Zone being
added for the new State,) Capitol Hill, in honor
Of the Senate, and as many more in honor Of the
House of Representatives. Another national salute
fred at the Central market, and the balance Of
one hundred guns front of the Executive Mansion
The President Of the United States was then honored
with the salute Of twenty one guns, 10 which the
Chief Magistrate Of the Union Is entitled by usage
The salute Of course, attracted crowds, and warm
we're the congratulations exchanged, the more espe
cially as the victory in Congress over kno# Moth
ingism and its Republican allies is a cheering omen
to the Democratic and anti-Know Nothing voters Of
this metropolis. The movements Of Humphrey
Marshall, Campbell aud other distinguished friends
of Giddings aud Howard have been exactly the same
as those Of the guerrilla band which hovers around
the conservative party Of this metropolis, impeding
its advancement and by steathy surprises making
an occasional forsy into the camp, when wander
ing Democrat can be found TO act as pilot. But as
those who expected to defeat the Democratic party
in Congress are now disappointed so those who sup
pose that secret Vaccinations and deceitul neutral
10y can mislead the voters Of Washington, will find
that they have miscaculated the patriotism and the
public spirit Of our citizens.
Could a band have been obtained there would
have been serenade given to the President, but the
May ball and the concert had monopoGsed the must
clans, and it was postponed until tonight, when
brilliant ovation may be expected. Three cheers

THE FIRST PLANK LMD.-The mongrel opposi-
ton to the Democracy, which has not yet even a
name, seem, however to have laid down with Pretty
general consent, the FIRST plank Of their platform
q Protective Tariff
This issue has been tried so thoroughly, and the
seal Of reprobation so empatically placed on the
principle Of high protective duties by the people
that TO call up ghost again, endeavor TO breathe
life into its defunct form, only shows the utter pow
erty Of resource to which the opposition is reduced
Bleeding Kansas" is about slip from their grasp
she refuses TO bleed any longer to serve the selfish
rartv purposes Of the Black Republicans, and It Is
necessary 10 have some sort Of platform TO stand
on. SO we suppose we shall have all the old Federal
Whigmeasures revamped-a high protective Tariff

Veil this is Just what We would Ike nay We
rather admire lt for there is something more manly
in il than skuking behind collateralissues Let us
have the whole batch Of anti democratic measures
boldly proclaimed and the issue fairly made up
We are ready for it, and the people will then know
where the parties stand We are willing TO meet
the enemy these grounds in 1860, and throw them
in all the renegade Democrats, scattering Natives
and wool-dyed Aboliuonists they can enlist.-fat-

Some Of the noticeable features Of the above are
the small amount Of specie held by the country
banks, compared with the city banks; the greater
proportion Of losses and expenses relatively with the
capital, and the very much larger relative oircula-
ton Of bills.
The report Of the Assistant Treasurer at New
York Of the business for the month Of April shows
that the receipts from customs we're 81, 359 473 in
gold and 100000 in Treasury notes, making 8
total of trife above 81, 100000, which, compared
with the receipts in April of last year from the same
source show falling of of nearly one. half
A letter from the Secretary Of the Treasury to q
citizen Of Utica, n T., throws some light on the
value Of Spanish silver coins, which is of general
interest at this time. He says:
81 an not able to state the market price Of such
bullion at the present time Athority was formerly
given to the mints at Philadelphia and New Orleans
to purchase silver Of that standard at 1924 cents per
ounce but stock Of silver coin and bullion becom-
ing large for convenience this authority was re-
voked nearly year since, and purchases of silver
bullion are not now made at the minis at any price
The act of July D. 1857 authorizes the receipt of
Spanish Mexican quarters at the Treasury and its
offices, and the Post Offices, ut 20 cents each, and
for the space Of two years authorizes them to be de-
posted in the mint at Philadelphia and payment Of
their nominal value Of IS cents each, in new cents
These are the only modes in which Spanish quarters
are received and paid for on public account at the
present time. Gold bullion may be deposited at the
mint and its branches, and assayed and coined on
account Of depOstors But this is not the case with
silver bullion No silver is authorized to be coined
by law, except on public account"
