tinued easy, and the demand for accommodation at
the Bank of England was Of a moderate character.

FINANCE AND BUSINESS.

The last weekly average of the New York banks
continues to show an increase of the unprecedented
specie reserve. the average now exceeding thirty
miIlions-an increase of twenty four millions
since the day of the suspension of the banks. The
amount of specie is stated to be forty per cent
of the liabilities of the banks, including circulation,
which is also secured 10 considerable extent by
dcposites OF stocks with the banking department Of
the State government 1t is believed that the divi-
dends of the banks must fall off The excess of loans
over capital but about thirty four millions while
before the late crisis the of loans CAPT
tai was from fifty to sixty millions The very small
expansion Of loans shows continued inactivity of
business, while the accumulation of idle capital in
the way of individual deposites marks the rapidity
with which the Indebtedness Of the country to the
city is being discharged. The following tabular

On Tuesday last, New York journal says, the
money market in that city growing easier, capi
tai being more freely offered, and lenders being
less scrupulous in regard to securities 1t is now
settled that if the surplus funds on hand are TO
be used at all, they must be loaned to those whose
standing is below the rs-class limit, for the appl
cations from the latter quarter are not sufficient to
absorb. the accommodating receipts. There will be
more or less dstrust until after the maturity Of the
obligations given last Autumn in renewal of ndebt-
edness which could not then be met; after that date

Bonaparte's happiness, than his union with
Maria Louisa. He was won't to compare
her with Josephine, by giving the latter ali the
advantages of art and grace; the former the
charms of simple modcsty and innocence His
former empress used every art to support or
enhance her personal charms, but with SO much
prudence aud mystery, that the secret cares of
her toilet could never be traced; her successor
trusted for the power of pleasing to youth and
nature. Josephine mlsmanaged his revenue,

to obey him. Both were excellent women, of

distinguished persons, we can easily discrimi-
