Rank Deuositors.

We again caI the attention of our readers TO the
resolutions adopted by the Banks OF this city In regard
to deposita. Depositors invited 10 draw balances
prior to the 2sh March, after which date the Banks
decline to receive deposits pay checks drawn against
them until the ss pr. In exchange for taances to
their credit on the 2sih March, dspOstOrs will receive,
on and after the lat April, the amount OF those BAL
ances in four per cent bonds at par This regulation
applies equity TO aances in favor Of other banks o. to
individuals. ae
This arrangement will be great convenience to our
Cit ms especially TO those in the country, who may
have, or may place, money 10 the banks which they
desire 10 CONVEX. into four per cent bonds. II is
worthy of adoption by all the Banks throughout the
COME deracy The amount Of currency which ought to
be invested in these bond before the Ia! April Is about
an v,rsge of ten millions day. As The pressure at
the Confederate depOsitores may render it difficult at
tines and attended with delay, to convert notes into
these bonds especially the lst April spprOac es, it
vi answer the same purpose to place the amount 90
intended to the depositOs credit any of these banks
before the rs March A certificate Of such deposit
will probably be sufficient for the tax collectors upon
which the payer draw the amount Of hs taxes tnd
relieved of the risk of the SAFE keeping of his bonds
The city banks have also resolved that oalnces uue
BY one bank to aaolher aud to deposors credited O
after LIST april will be payable 10 the new or changed
currency" But they Nl decline to pay undraWn dVi-
dends certificates of depoits and checks of any date
prior t. the 2s!h March mex, except in the currency
now existing, AID as nov IA ed and Valued" This
primo pie will no doub: be adopted in al settlements
after first April OF adding accounts Of prior dates
with perela ants for doctors bs hire for ser'ats and
all unsettled Indebtedness. Many are holding back
their accounts uat after that date, calculating on got
tirg them settled for their u amount IN new currency
We think 1t not unlikely that all those making tuc1 cal
culAious, uness support BY clear stipulation before
hand will find themselves greatly mistaken. Probably
many such cases will come up before the courts which
will have to decide wheh,r announcements such as the
banks Rave made will be valid or were even needed.

The Fan Opened in England.

Toe Earl of Derby's late review of RusselPs foreign
p,cy, and D'Israehs simultaneous move 10 the House
II Commons, may be regarded a. the cpsniog of the
IL in the grand opposition crusade against the Palmer
man Ministry The Earl Of Derby is the most astute
probably the ableet statesman in the British domi
Ons. H. bore, While occupying a seat in the House
II Commons the title Of Lord Stanley, and stood al
avs next to sac late Sir Robert Peel 10 the order Of
,dership of the Conservative or Tory party. He 5
,,ed for bis extreme caution in making any great
aovs before he dhtincty sees his way, and the mere
fast Of bis nov assuming the high ground which he
taken, on Russes foreign policy, is significant of
ms certain knowledge Of Wing detection from the
present Ministry, either in the HOue or out Of it. He
I, satisfied, in other words that issue made upon
tias policy will secure Tory sscendAncy.
Heretofore, he was restrained from making this is-
sue BY consciousness that test Of the popular sent-
nebt Of England, such would become necessary in
the event of PAmerston defeat, would be adverse to
hin. He evidently Gees now that such q change of
pulAr eecg has been wrought as would secure him,
IN the event OF general election, strength enough in
the Lower House TO maintain ascendancy. The
Dlush comIlca,ions and RusselPs base trucking to
th, German Powers have OPPORTUNITY come to his aid.
,pulAr indignation in England must follow such po-
cy if indeed any spirit Of national pride stllremAins
rne mere exposure Of Stewards insolen demand will
have It's moral effect Notwithstanding Russers denial
Of its presentation by Mr. Adams. 1t is enough that
sush demat is known to have emanated from Seward,
70 e1asperate the feelings Of the English people, for
they will very naturally attribute such insolence TO the
humiatiDg posture which tas country was made to as
sumo BY Russell, Whenever any audACiOus demand was
made.
Earl Derby is precisely the man to avail himself OF
this condition Of the public mind, and hence his on
saught upon the policy which lead to EnglAnds humiliA
dcn OF the fact Of the receipt Of Stewards nso
lent note we have cur doubts. Adams is q mere
amateur in diplomacy, and would hardly venture TO
suppress uha Seward transmitted to him. was con-
venient for Russell, however, to deny It, seeing that
the tone Of the Eugish mind not in condition 10
brook such nsOlsuce If is had not bsen presented,
Adams would have advised Seward Of the Tact IN time
20 prevent its transmission to the U. s. House OF ke-
Uresentaves with the other foreign correspondence
e,lled for and thus obgats the irritating effects In
England which no doubt led Adams to Withhold it. II
indeed he did so. The correspondents dates as far
back as the latter part of 1864 or the early part OF
1858, and Il would b, range indeed Il Adams had
