Decrease in Undrawn Deposits S2I
Including the exchanges through the Clearing
House, for the six business days since the last
average, and including also the Sub-Treasury
statement of Saturday afternoon the following
is the general comparison with the exhibit of
the previous week and also with the movement
at this time last season:

The statement raises the stock of Bullion in
this city above forty millions again-the total in
the Banks and Sub Treasury being $40, O47, $40.
The Loans go back nearly million of dollars
in consequence of the heavy payments on bills
discounted due lst and 4th July. The Deposits
are also reduced by employment in these pay
ments, and in the disbursement of small diVi-
bends. The general bearing of the statement
is to a reduced demand for mercantile discounts;
increasing Specie strength--another California
packet being about due-and Of course to con-
tinued ease in the supply of money at moderate
rates of interest The market to-day is quiet
at last weeks quotations, and no really active
demand, compared with the free supply, is felt
in any quarter.
tFrom tie Philadelphia Press.l
The market for stocks in New York having
measurabiy improved, our own has svmpathized
with the movement to some extent, though buy
ers are scarce at the improved rates. Among
operators there seems to be little disposition for
either speculation or investment. q good ma
ny have gone away for the summer vacation,
and there is little prospect of activity until the
return of cooler weather.
The temporary demand for money occasioned
by the throwing of three days into one, at the
end Of last week, having passed away, the mar
ket has reverted to its former condition, capital
being in large supply, and the offering of good
paper quite meagre. FirSt-cass names on en-.
dorsed paper sell readily at a to per cent. but
ofsuch paper as this there is very little making.
[Prom the Baltimore Patriotl
The money market continues exceedingly
easy, and without special change.
There is an abundant supply of capital in tho
hands of the brokers, and prime business paper
goes very readily on the street at Sac per cent.
for endorsed, and SAT per cent. for single names.
Call loans, with undoubted collerals, are making
at 4a5 per ct,
Way HE DDN'r EorE.-We find the follow
ing letter in the Austin CTexag State Gazette,
from the late Senator Henderson, ofTexas, Civ
ing his reason for not voting upon the Kansas
Conference bill:
PHILADELPHIA, May 2, 1858.
L
Washington city on day before yesterday even
ing, just after the tiual passage of the Kansas
compromise bill. did not vote on the bill at
its passage. y
On the morning of the day the bill bill finally
passed, the President sent for mo- and made

ton and the Democratic party of tho NORTH, as
to induce me to 1eavo The Senate Chamber and
not cote at all dS mould haze felt bound to UOte
against the Bill ~ had gotsd.
We are an unfortunate people; and when we
will be able to present the question in shape
to unite the majority of our p.ople in standing
by their rights is hard to foresee.
Yours, very truly, HENDERSON.
We are certainly an unfortunate people,
when the President of the United States can so
far forget the dignity of his Office, and the pro-
prieties Ofpublic life, as to send for members of
Congress with view of persuading them to
violate their own judgments. Who does not
see in this letter an explanation of whole scores
of Democratic votes9 It is the patronage of
the government brought in conflict with the
freedom of elections.

ExToRTIoN At THE yIRoINIA SPRINas-Extor-
ton at any and all sorts of Summer resorts,
where towns people are wont to go, has got to
be fixed practice. The Springs in this State
are getting an enriable reputation for this
species of sharp practice We read in the cor
respOndence of one of our exchanges as fol-
lows:
1t seems that the PREVAILING scarcity of money
has effect ininducing hotel keepers at the
Springs in Virginia, to practice more modera
ton in their charges than heretofore. II any
thing, they are more extortiOnate than ever: and
this, indeed, because they have somewhat en-
larged their accommodations without any pro-
portionate improvement in the fare. have seen
a letter from a lady at the Old Sweet Springs in
Munroe County, in which she states that fifty
cents is charged for each bath, to boarders at
the hotel, those boarding elsewhere in the
neighborhood. are charged 81. This is extortion
with vengeance, and it is well that the public
should be made aware oft, that they may guard
against such imposition. AS regards the fare,
the charge it appears, is little less reasonable,
no less than SIG week being exacted for
piece of dead hog and chickens, and now and
then little beef and mutton. Thus far they
have but few to practice upon, and it is right it
should be so. These people ought to be made
to feel that the public are not under the necssi-
ty of submitting to such extortions and that
