New YORK, Jan. 4.--Judge Hughes, one of
Semmes' counsel, yesterday made applica-
tion to the Secretary Of the Navy to fix
day for the trial of the accused. The Sec

not sufficient number of officers of proper
rank are now unemployed. The counsel
engaged for Semmes are, Hughes, Peck
and Denver, of Washington, and Pendle-
'Colstone, of Boston. Semmes is con-
fined in roomin the Navy Yard, guarded,
by sentinels. His meals are brought from
neighboring restaurants. No person, ex-

speak with him. He is quite cheerful, but

An appropriation of $4,000 is placed at the dis

Immediately after, Mr.. Nelligan's bill, providing
an appropriation of 100000, for the relief of
MANNED soldiers and the widows and orphans of
soldiers throughout the State, was taken up and
also passed unanimously, with an increase of the
appropriation to the sum of $4,000. This fund is
to be distributed by the police jures in the several

The progress in the use OF this article since 1865
shows that the prosperity of the people at large is
increasing. In 1859, the consumption amounted to
about seven pounds to each man, woman and
child, against four in 1855. The price was $50 per
cent higher in 1865 than in 1859.
Increase of Bank Of England Notes.-The
Bank of England has by an order in council OBJ
tanned liberty to issue f350,000 additional notes
upon securities. The previous amount was fl4,-
$50 900. Under Sir R. Peel's act the government
can authorize the bank to issue two-thirds of the
lapsed circulation of issuing banks which have
failed or otherwise ceased to issue. Including the
National Provincial Bank, there is f739,965 of
lapsed issue two-thirds of this is f493 80. But it
has been considered desirable only to give permls-
sion to issue 1850 900 additional notes upon securi
ty in order that the sum to be issued securities
may be the round and rememberable sum of fl5,-
900.
Currency Reform.-The New York Post says !:
| In the absence of any more pressing topic of
novelty, Wall street is discussing the question Of
| currency reform, and attention is naturally di-
rected to the fact that during the last year the
prices of gold and of some other commodities
have fallen, though the national banks have been
initiating the currency during the year by the issue
of no less than l60 900 900 of dollars of their notes.
The explanation, however, is very properly given
that, as the national banks have thus been driving
their currency in a rapid stream through the
gorged current of the circulation, prices must
have gone up had not that current been depleted,
and its swelling volume diminished in other ways.
For example, the old State Bank notes have dis
appeared as the new bank notes have come out
and, secondly, the one hundred and eighty mil
lions of outstanding compound interest notes have,
for the most part, ceased to perform the active
functions of paper money.
The contradiction due to such causes is variously
estimated as equivalent to reduction of two hun
bred and fifty to three hundred millions in the in.
fating power of our paper money.
The contracting Influence on the currency and
on prices which is eXerted by the compound
notes has been proved by experience to be so safe
/ and effective that the immediate withdrawal OF
fifty or one hundred millions of greenback cur
rency, by the issue of an equal amount of com
pound notes, is very strongly urged. The act o
30th June, 1864 authorizes this substitution, ant
there is no necessity to wait for any new legsla
ton Whether the loan bill is to be passed or not
Mr. McCuloch has ample powers to diminish il
this way the volume, and to correct the initiation
