CAUGHT AGAIN.-Many of our readers will
remember the case of Fred Talbot, white
man, which was tried few days ago, char.
cling him with stealing lot of chic kens
from Mr.. Charles Langley; the charge was
proven, andhe was ordered to receive ten
lashes on his bare back, but it seems that the
whipping did no good, as will be sproved by
the following fact Last night about ten
O'Clock, Mr.. VIM. Taylor, keeping store
on Metcalf Lane, heard a great noise in his
yard, and on going out, he caught this same
Talbot with three of his largest chickens,
and about to make off with them, but for
tunately he was found out in time, and pla.
cedin the hands of officer Nelson, who car
ried him to the lock up, where he remained
during the night, and this morning on APP
pearing before the Mayor, he was commit.
ted to Jail to appear before the next quar-
terly term of the Corporation Court.

Muscle Looking up Among the
Girls

Why shonldn't we have schools for the
physical development of young ladies as well
as young gentlemen That's the question
now being agitated among the strong mind
ed. Mrs. Gage writing to the Tribune says:
ANY one not tossilized by conventionalisms,
who will visit Laglewood School, near Perth
Amboy, New Jersey, may see a sight that
VIII do their hearts good. Think Of it. A
poat club OF young ladies from upper ten
oom, daughters of learned professors, re-
tlred merchants, and first families of Fifth
avenue, dressed in grey flannel tunics, trim
inea with scarlet, reaching only below the
knee, pants OF the same, meeting high boots
with scarlet tops, taking parts with the
young gentlemen il hosting their fine boat,
the 'Halcyon," upon their shoulders, and
walking off with it quarter of mile to the
shores of the Raritan, there launching it up
on the water, waving their thanks TO the
gentlemen for their aid, manning it, 1.-THE
captain was Miss Manning) with as merry
crew as ever set sail. All, it gave one high
nope lor the future to see those bright-eye ed
glris dozen OF them, toss back their curls
under their broating hats, put their unglov-
ed hands to their oars away with steady
sweep INTO the acurrent, and stem a high
Wlnd, four miles out and three miles back
as tae captain said, with no complaint of
WEAKNESS. These girls can swim, lift
weights, play ball, ride and run, alb and
get lessons, too; study Greek and Latin, and
read Shakespeare, and advance equally with
those who are fitting for Csmbnidge and

every family is complaining, and unless the
elements conspire to furnish us, we hardly

ded, and the various points of interest were
visited and duly scanned. In the Navy Yard
the Cadets went through with their Justly
celebrated Shanghai Drill" and it was in
deed source OF establishment and admira-
ton to see the precision with which the
quick and intricate movements were accom-
plished. After returning from the Yard
the Cadets we've escorted to the Armory of
the Greys, where that company had prepar-
ed sumptuous and bountiful repast. Mayor

dered the Cadets hospitabIe Virginia well
come in short and eloquent speech, which
was replied to by Prof. Smith, of the Insti

which Capt Deans gave the order to'chargs. /,
This last order was obeyed in bright good
earnest, and soon the Cadets and Others had
provided for the inner man, and falling in,
again took up the line of march through the
principal streets of the city.
We have only to add that this generous
reception by the Greys is in keeping with
the we'll known character of that unsur-
passed corps. Indeed, we may say, every.
thing that they undertake is bound to bt
done well.

the reaction of 1857, or at any other period,
having inflated the currency of this city until it
reached the rate of $l23.30 to each inhabit-
ant" n
The effects of this expansion, combined with
the revenue system of the country, Though to
this latter element the report omits all alusion,
are thus stated by the committee:
"0ur currency and scale of prices are above
those of the European nations with which we
trade. We are, consequently, selling cheap and
buying dear; we are selling little and buying
much, and making good the differences In coin.
Since the LIST of April, we have shipped specie
to the amount of $685., 1855, while our re-
ceipts from California have been less than half
that sum. This condition of things will con
tinue until the banks of this city contract the
currency and lower the scale of prices here by
curtaihng their discounts Prudence would seem
to demand this course at the present time. The
currency of this city is more expanded than it
has ever been before and that of the country
at large as much so as it has been at any time
since 1887. There has thus been engendered
an adverse balance in our foreign commerce,
which is still augmenting, and taking more and
more of coin in each advancing month to liqui-
date 1T. The war in Europe is liable to still
further increase these shipments of specie by
the withdrawal of foreign capital for invest
ment in the new Government loans that the
;war will give rise to. Already the belligerentSand
others are in the market for over $3.50, 900 coo,
and the loans will be negotiated however great
the sacrifice, for they cannot do without the
!; Aews of war"

STATISTICS OF THE CURRENCY.

Our readers are aware that there exists in
New York an association of gentlemen organ
lied for the purpose of investigating the prin-
ciples of currency and the laws of trade At
a meeting of the Board, held on the 10th inst,
a committee previously appointed to ascertain
the present bank expansion in that city and
throughout the Union, and to consider It's eff
feet on the currency and commerce of the Uni
ted States submitted an interesting report, with
a copy of which we have been obHgingly fur
nisbed. The enlightened labors of the com
mittee, while conducting them to some con-
illusions which may not meet universal ac-
ceptance. are none the less valuable for the
statistical statements which accompany their
exposition of the principles sought to be estab-
lished.
As showing the effect which banking move
ments exert on the currency, the subjoined ia
Bile, embracing period Of twenty-six years,
and presenting for each year a comparison of
the sum OF the bank deposits and circulation in
the United States, with the number of our pop
ulation for the same period is both instructive
and suggestive. We perhaps should say, that
the deposits and circulation, as here stated, are
copied from the tables Of the United States
Treasury Department, save those of 1852 and
1853, which, in the absence of official returns
have been approximately estimated by the com
mittee. We need hardly add, that the popula
ton for the years between 1850 and 1860 has
been obtained by extending the rate of increase
in conformity with the law which is seen to
have prevailed from 1880 to 1850:
