RESIGNATION CoSctRRBD IN.-A meet
ing Of the congregation Of the Third Pres

evening to consider the application OF Rev.
P. B. Price for dissolution Of his pastoral
connection. Rev. Dr.. Read was chosen
moderator. ~,
The following paper was adopted after
the pastor had made a full statement Of his
reasons for seeking the proposed changes.
and urged the acceptance Of his resigna-
ton:
"The members Of this congregation, con-
vened pursuant to regular notice, having
heard the resignation rendered by our pas
tor, Rev. Philip B. Price, and the reasons
moving him thereto, and believing that ne
has been led to this decision by consclen-
tious sense of duty, whilst we regret very
deeply the necessity under which ne seeis
called to separate himself from us, we 90
not feel at liberty to oppose his request in
the premises. rao3 5'tfoE, t9'aa2.s
"We cordially and gratefully testify to
his patient, persevering, and affectionate
fidelity as pastor and teacher. We COM
mend him to the esteem and confidence of
Christian brethren, and pray God to direct
and prosper him, making him abundantly
successful in winning souls to the Saviour
and in the upbuilding Of His kingdom"
Mr.. Sampson was sppointed as q commis-
sioner on the part of the church to lay these
proceedings before Presbytery. tse

TUESDAY, 9TH JUNE 1868.

WE are suffering from a s~uperfuity Of
American silver coin. In ST. Thomas it is
at a discount of 4 pr. ct. Parties here
who have large payments to make for
sugars purchased have been able to sell
their bills of exchange on Copenhagen at
9 pr. c., and have received payment in
American silver coin at a discount this
they bring over here and disposed of at
par. But by doing. so they threaten to
bring that coin at a discount here, and
thereby to cause considerable disturbance
In our monetary transactions. The la
bourerS and poorer classes would at first
be ihe chief sufferers, eventually the plant
ers would be so. How to prevent this
influx of American silver coin is a question
Of some difficulty. The simplest remedy
seems to US to be to adhere strictly to the
provisions Of the Ordinance of the 23rd
July 1859. That law provides with re-
gard to our w currency that it shall be
considered as legal tender no one how
ever being bound to receive in any one
payment, a larger sum than 5 dollars in
those of silver or 10 cents in bronze.
Now as Il matter of course this applies
still more 10 American silver coins. Let
every one remember that he need not re-
ceive more than the sums mentioned OF
the different coins; that an offer made to
pay a debt Of a higher amount than SIS In
this coin is no legal offer at all, that he
can compel his debtor either to pay in
gold or bank notes, which latter be it re-
membered are also redeemabIe in gold.
Let every one that have payments to re-
ceive consistently refuse to receive them
in these coins, and We shall soon see how
quick the importation will cease. This 1T
is the more requisite to remember as
American coin is no legal tender at all In
these islands, no one can be compelled to
receive them. All that the law says is
that Until further notice ! dollar pieces as
we'll as 1 dollar, 10, 5 and 3 cenlspieces
coined in the United States of America
shall be received in the TREASURES. in
the Danish Westindia possessions. 1t
fixes nothing of their being legal tender
between man and man. Suppose the
Government were to give notice that after
a certain date these coins would not be
received any more In the treasures I'm
fact won't the Government be compelled
to take such a measure, if the importation
continues, not only in immediate selfdefence,
but for the benefit of the whole commu-
nifty So long as the public offices con
tinue to receive them, and they thus lind
a ready outlet, so long will they continue
to flow into the island. As soon as every
one that can, refuses to take them in pay
ment the sooner will they cease to be a
nuisance. Or if people will receive them,
why not do as they do in ST.. Thomas,
receive them only at a discount. The
money is in itself not bad, it is at a pre-
