A BULLION BANK--A movement is I'm progress
In New York for the establishment Of a bullion
bank The plan is to found a bank which shall
discount only to the extent Of its own capital.
Its deposits are not to be used any part Them sy
the bank, but are to be retained always in actual
cash to the order Of the several depositors; the
deposits will consequently be always, to the full
amount, on hand In coin. The revenue of the
bank (other than the interest on its own capitaD
Is to consist Of small banking commissions
charged to depostors; on small accounts more.
on large accounts less. The largest commission
proposed IL lilo of per cent, on IS on person $
Income Of 81, OOO per annum; on larger accounts,
as low as 600 Of per cent and on very large
accounts small annual in lieu Of commissions
As Its projectors propose to limit the dividends
70 per cent, these charges will be reduced
with the increase of business, and will ALWAYS be
kept down to the amount actually necessary to
pay expenses. 1t is urged by the projectors that
ifthis bank be in rstr rate hands and conseo uent
iy its credit perfect, its certificates Of deposit
representing actual coin in New York will be
the most desirable medium Of remittance, and
Will be used not to circulate as money! but for
purposes Of remittance TO an extent sufficient to
sustain the bank

THE SOCIETY ISLANDS From letters in the
California papers received by the last mall Il
appears that the Governors of two of these Island.
have applied for the admission Of their terrific.
ries into our Union. Ii seems that in June last
the King OF the Society Islands was dethroned
by the Governors, by whom he had been raised
TO the throne. His acts, however, savored SO
much OF tyranny that the Governors declared the
kinglY office vacant. The Kings flag was then
struck In presence of the representatives of Great
Britain, France, and the United States. The it,.
ternal affairs OF the Government went on as usual
The Governors Of the Fakaa invited the Ameri-
can Consul to dinner where they presented
