3O.-As the steamboat Express, which runs be-
tween Old Point and NEWPORT News, Was lsay-
ing the latter place this nOrnir K, a rebel tug
boat was seen oil Sewall's Point. She wore a
commodore 3 hluc-pernant which was mistaken
arriving within RANGE, the rebel boat lred a shot
across the bows al the Express, which was quick
ly followed by several shells.
The greatest conservation prevailed for a
short time on board the Express, which was I'M
armed, ard the schooner Sherwood, employed
to bring water from Newport News, which WAS
in tow, wa, cut adriit. The Sherwood was i'm.
mcdiately deserted 10y her crew, consisting Of
four men who escaped 10y a small boat to New
port News, and the schooner drifting down with
the tide was taken possession of by the rebel
tugboat and flowed TO Crancy Island. Her cap
tain stuck 10 her aud YVES taken prisoner.
The rebel tughoat subsequently made her APP
poaTarce for a stCUud time, but the Express hal
crowded ON all steam and had reported tho cir
cumstanccs to the flagship,
After a long delay, about half dozen gum
boats got started, ard steaming towards the
scene, threw few shells into Sewalls Point
and the Pig Point batteries, without producing
any effect however, so far as is known.
Had II not been for the inoxcusable delay in
our gunboats getting to tho spot the rebel tug
boat might have been intercepted and the
schooner saved.
The Sherwood had been lined with zinc and
fitted out with valuable force pump for wa
or boat. The loss is estimated " about SSWO

TIE Rejects Of the Suspension on BusinessA
The suspenFcn Of specie payments has In this
country 20 usually taken place at periods OF
great excitement, or during existence OF some
remarkable crisis or panic, that the torn has
become indicative OF trouble, lossos, and disas.
Ter. Bat the present partial suspension has,
happily, bean accompanied by none Of these
results. II has boon % lopg agitaied that its
actual accomplishment has been received with
indifference by the public, while business AM
monied men had become 40 thoroughly COM
WINGED Of ia salutary influences, that upon the
fact becoming known general buoyancy was
given 10 the Stock Market and TO business
transactions, unknown for considerable period
past. Doubtless part Of the exher,tion wAs
owing to the favorable termination Ct our Eng
lish dificulde but large portion was due TO
the increased ease hereafter 20 lie felt in Bank
accommodation which had been curtail d by
these institutions, in hopes Of retaining their
specie, until tho pressure hal become severe
throughout the business community.
The latest suspension took place On tho 18th
Oct, 1857, and the Banks renewed speic pay
ments in November following. At that tine
their specie wa drawn down to 50 100000 to-
day their specie deposits amount to . D. OJp, 900
The suspension Of 1851 was q cause Of scrop.
anxiety on sccoutt Of the Wild panic which cx-
isted, and Of the tendency Of coin 70 AoS 70.
wards Europe in that Of 1861 no panic oNis,s,
ooin expectations abroad, for some time past
have not exceeded one million Of dollars, and
the specie disbursed by our Bank, has remained
in the ooun ry. II has gore TO the West 10 pay
for produce TO the country TO pay our troops
and TO New Engan to pay the heavy manu-
featuring bills Of the government. Unler thes'
circumstances various causes would have led q
rohux Of specie towards cur city within COM
psratively brief period, but during this period
the pressure upon business men would have bcor
severe, and to obyiate it, suspension has beer
decided upon. And suspension in Nov iork
means suspension throughout tho Northern
statos.
Although Il ia not probable that specie pay
ments will be resumed until afl cr tho Gloss OF
the war, there /, nothing in the occurrence t.
make US disheartencd. The effect Of paper cur.
rency gives an undue initiation TO property a
Grst, and afterwards depreciation ensue', on 10
suming specie basis. Tho prospects of
carly close TO the rebellion arc 80 good that VI
may not be called upon to experience largely
other class Of the results.
