cribes the storm in which the Persia was dis
abed as most terrific. Her crank pin was
broken on Monday evening at 10 o'clock,
and she lay to until the next afternoon, in
hopes that the storm would abate.
Finding no improvement, it was decided to
put her back for Cork, but after proceeding
back loo miles the weather moderated, and
the breakage was repaired. The steamer
then put about and when reaching the same
latitude in which the disaster occurred. she
encountered another storm more terrific than
the first; but she ploughed her way through
uninjured, except crushing one of her wheel
houses.

VIRGINIA BANKS.-There is a reduction Of
orr bank note circulation since Oct. |, 1851,
Of S2.j4l 100, upon an aggregate circulation
of ~, 153 ,S95-being Il reduction Of Il little
over - per cent or one fourth OF the bank
note circulation of the State. a reduction of
ten per cent in the currency Of u community
i seriously felt in commercial affairs. 1t is,
therefore. not at all surprising that we whose
currency has been reduced over twenty-five
per cent should be made keenly sensitive OF
the monetary stringency in all the depart
mcnts Of capital and labor. Nor is this the
worst We are afraid. from all we can learn,
that further reduction in our currency may
he deemed necessary by the bank directors, 10
guard their interests against the daily re-
curing 'runS' made upon them by the bro
kers of Richmond and Baltimore. The
stringency in the monetary affairs Of the
country is by some attributable to the op-
Grafton of the new law which requires all
the banks to redeem their notes III the cities
Of Richmond or Baltimore. If such be really
the effect Of the new law it ought TO be re-
pealed at once. Ga the other hand, others
assert that the reduction of circulation by
the banks has been made for the purpose of
creating monetary difficulties throughout
the State and thereby influencing the APP
preaching Legislature to repeal the new law.
I The whole question is one whose Importance
should demand a close, thorough and able ex-
animation at the earliest hour of the next ses-
sion of our State Legislature Charlottesville
