A person named d ,niel Murphy was charged
before the Mayor, few days since, with APP
propriating time piece that did not belong to
him. Now, it happens that there are four Of
that name in Richmond. One of the number
politely requests US to do the innocent ones the
justice to describe the man, SO that the saddle
may be placed on the right horse. We do no.
believe that il was any one Of TIE Richmond
Daniels who was brought to judgment on the
occasion referred TO. He was 4 new conner, An
outsider, late importation. Fog tho salts
faction, however, of the parties concerned, we
shall take an early occasion to describe the

The supply of salt is becoming seriously
nco'ed question. Tho value of the article
imported into the United States during the
year ending june 30, 1850, was 81, Ash, HI
The official tables do not give the quantity
cut, estimating tho sack at two and halt
bushels, and at a dollar and a-half in price,
the quantity was about 2,335,23J bushels
II SO suppose one-thifd of this quantity to
uase been imported fer Southern consumption,
tha supply repaired for the Southern market
over ami above what is manufactured within
ne Sou,lern States, would be rs, liz bushels.
Whence this extraordinary supply is to lie OBJ

The New York World (Abolition) says:
The nssotjation of the Government loans
for l50, 900 0OO and the fact that q Jvarn IN
finances and credits ere now virtually under
the control of the New York bank managers,
have in par ted more confidence to our capital
lists and bankers than any event that has
taksn place since the commencem ent of our
present political troubles. The evils Of
shif'less or unsettled financial policy and the
dread OF depreciation i'll our currency from
in judicious paper issues AS money, are rem
! de red improba BILE by the ar arrangement entered
