enormous sum Of eat ,9ls 900 in coin and bulion-a
larger amount than it possessed at any previous
time-while the Bank of England on the 27th of the
same mbnth held only Ell 29O, 652. An English
volume on finance, recently published, thus COM
ments on this disproportion, and its principal cause,
and the subject is one OF general INTEREST,"
At this present time-March, 1S6s-the Bank OF
France holds an amount of bullion nearly double
that held by the Bank Of England. Is this to be
attributed solely to the improved condition of Frances
II 80, then all that can be said upon the point is that
there Is no known instance OF national progress
equalng this in rapidity; and England must acknOw
ledge that France has overtaken and outstrpped her
In the successful practical application of the prnci-
pies OF social and political economy.
There can be no doubt that the wise offer OF pre-
MUM on gold had the covert effect OF turning the ex-
changes In favor OF France. Small as the inducement
offered may seem to the ordinary reader it was large
enough to determine English and other bankers to ex
OF this premium that Paris secured the influx Of a
large quantity OF gold, athough-and this Is point
matter in all its bearings-this extra innux OF the
precious metal into France might In certain sense be
regarded rather in the light of borrowed capital than
as national property actually acquired; for France
could not Immediately make an equivalent return
for the gold in other commodities OF her own pro-
duction.
The Bank of France paid this premium on gold;
and for number OF years the weekly statements OF
that institution showed considerable debts to the
account Of the premium so paid. The direct loss
thus sustained by the operation was amply counter
balanced, however, by the influx OF bullion to large
amount, which enabled the bank to encourage COM
merce and industry, at remunerative but not Op-
pressve rates OF interest," and the increased business
thus done by the bank supplied the means to liQut-
date the debt originally resulting from the opera
tion The benefit bestowed upon the nation by the
increase in the solid medium Of exchange can scarce
ly be estimated in figures, but it is made strikingy
apparent in the improved condition Of the people at
large.

sThc MIayoralty Election.

We understand that Street Commissioner
George w. Mclean declines to become .
candidate for Mayor in the December election,
and we therefore suggest the name Of Peter b.
Sweeny for that Office. Chamberlain Sweeny
has shown himself to be an honest politician
and a true reformer While others who have
sometimes denounced him have been talking
about economy and reform, he has gone prac-
tically to work and given up to the city the
fees of the Office he fills, amounting to some
two hundred thousand dollars year. He has
thus put stop to great abuse, initiated by
Fernando Wood and kept up for many years,
and has laid the foundation of fund which
will eventually amount to millions. all Of
which, but for his action, would have been
lost to the taxpayers. His shrewdness, ability
and honesty would be Of great value to the city
in the Office Of its Chief Magistrate. He Is
familiar with the workings of all the depart
ments and would know exactly where money
could be saved and the present enormous tax
alton reduced. II would be q credit to the city
and q well deserved compliment II oil parties,
irrespective Of politics, would unite on such q
candidate and elect him to the Mayoralty by Q
unanimous vote.

LATEST FROM CUBA.-The external aspect
of affairs In Cuba does not improve
a. time advances. Under the guise Of
revolutionists bands Of robbers are devas-
tating the country. These depredations are
confined chiefly to the eastern portion Of
the island. Such, however. Is the effect pro-
duced there that planters are unable to har-
vest their crops and that famine Is dreaded.
In the disturbed districts the mails within the
last few days have been frequently seized
Captain General Lersund has been instructed
by the home government to exercise his dis
erection in dispensing with the death penalty
in the case Of persons condemned for political
offences. Cuba is manifestly in bad state.
So far as we can see at present her case
must become worse and worse unless she
cuts connection with the mother country
and links her future destiny with the United
States. II is scarcely kind 90 TO put IT, but II is

The Troubles Of Hayt and St. Domingo.
For some time back these two nations Of
black republicans have been the scene of con-
fict and anarchy. Outside of the island few
people seem to take much interest in what has
been going on there. Those Americans who
have taken the bother to interest themselves
in either republic waited until an ingenious
fnancier, under President Salnave's authority,
put his hand on the coffee crop and asserted
the doubtful right Of the Haytien government
to monopolize this commodity. All at once
the Haytien government was enabled to pur-
chase, fit out and man In the United States
some men-of-war that are now belching fire
and destruction along the Haytien coast. In
this whole matter the policy or interest Of the
United States seems to have been left in the
background. Whose interest has been pro-
NOTED we leave to the State Department to
find out from Minister HOLSTER. Meanwhile
the department will do well to bear in mind
that President Salnave had other objects in
view than the sale Of Mole St. Nicholas when
he threw all his weight in the balance to defeat
our purchase Of SANTANA.
However, with General Grant at the head
Of our government we shall have peace on
this Continent and adjacent isles. If we can
not have it, it were better that Dame Nature
shake up that part of the earth's crust under
the Antilles and engulf the anarchical black
republicans that are eternally spilling black
blood which has long ago begun to stink in
the nostrils of civilized people.

ST. DoMINao.-It is singular fact that all
the earthquake troubles for the past two years
which we have had In different directions, and
especially in the West India islands, have not
touched st. Domingo. Government and peo4
pie, or rather what now come under the head
Of people, are evidently too vile for decent
earthquake to touch. 1t would be blessing
If some moderately dirty tidal wave would
take that direction.

More Runors About tho Alabama Claims.
The subject of the Alabama claims is q
standing dish for the correspondents of the
press. We have had something about IL every
day or two by cable kilograms from Europe
and occasionally despatch from Washington.
The last rumor is from the federal capital, and
said TO come from Mr.. Thornton, the British
Minister, to the effect that the English govern
ment had proposed again 10 submit the claims
to arbitration and that our government had
refused, but had offered to commit the whole
subject to mixed commission. Now Il ap-
pears to us that there is great middle about
these Alabama claims, and that no definite
arrangement has been entered into for the
settlement Of them, notwithstanding all the
fine speeches Of Reverdy johnson and Lord
Stanley. From the positive expressions OF the
President against the proposed mixed commits
sion and general tenor Of his views on this
subject, Il looks as II Mr.. Seward and Mr..
Reverdy johnson were acting upon their own
responsibility and not in accordance with the
Presidents ideas. All the fuss about arbitra-

the truth, and it is well both for Cuba and
Spain to look facts in the face. Spain cannot
do better than SELL The United States cannot
do better than purchase.

TIE CRITICAL ASPECT OF AFFAIRS IN WALL
STREET.-Wall street was further excited yes
terday afternoon by semi-oficial stockjobbing
rumors from Washington, and the feeling Of in
dignation against Mr.. McCulloch for lending
himself to schemes to alternately bull and
bear the markets for gold, government securi-
ties and railway shares was very great. II is
needless to say that such practices are Z re,,
tonal scandal and reflect discredit upon Tie
administration, and It is the business Of the
President to direct his attention to the incon-
sistencies Of his stockjobbing Secretary. Tho
stock market is demoralized and the bull cliqdes
are moving heaven and earth to keep up
prices, but they must inevitably tend nearer,
to real values, and prices are now from one To-
three hundred per cent sbove real values in
most instances. We are entering upon Q
period of financial depression like that which
overlook England before the resumption Of
specie payments, and we warn the public to
avoid Wall street and caution the banks
against lending their money on stocks. The
CRY will soon be-stand from under and the
Devil take the hindmost.

Tho Situation in spain-A King stil
Wanted.

Wanted
We print this morning cable despatch from
London to the effect that the crown of Spain
will probably be offered to Espartero, the
veteran Duke of Victoria. This piece Of news
Is traced to the correspondent of the London
Times. II will be observed that 1t is spoken
Of only as probability. It will not surprise
US If it be found to be an empty rumor, having
not the slightest foundation in fact. II is not,
however, without q certain Significance. It
shows that the revolutionary leaders are still
bent on browning the edifce with royal figure
head. II shows more. Ii shows that they
have not found among the princes Of Europe
candidate ut once acceptable and willing.
Prince Alfred Of England, Ferdinand of Co
burg, Amadeus of Italy, all seem Indifferent to
the empty bauble. Prince Napoleon is not to
be thought Of, and the Bourbons, younger and
older, are ineligible. In such circumstances
it is difficult to see what Spain can do but fall
back upon her own sons. Resolved to have
king, and failing to find one out Of the king
dom, the next best thing she can do is to seek
one in il. II royal igurehead must be had,
Espartero will do as well as any other. II Is
very desirable that we should be able to sus-
pend Judgment until the elections are over. Il
Is impossible, however, to do so. Spain Ia in
so critical condition-with the church party
irritated, with the finances desperate, with the
future form of government questio cerata,
with so many interests already conflicting, and
with so many smouldering fires ready to burst
forth on the FIRST opportunity--that it would not
be wonderful II the revolution, hitherto so sue
cessful, should end in great catastrophe.
All may yet turn out well, but the horizon
does not brighten ~ the hours advance.
MISS BECKER AND WoMEN's RIeHrs IN
ENaLANp.-A cable despatch which we print
this morning gives the decision Of the Common
Pleas in the case Of Miss Lydia Becker. The
judgment, in which all the judges concur, Ia
that the common law Of England gives women
no right to vote. The question has thus been
settled that % the law stands the suffrage does
not belong TO women. Miss Becker and her
friends could scarcely have expected any other
decision. Now, therefore, that they have
nothing to expect from the. laws interposition
the presumption il they will make vigorous
onslaught on the lawmakers. Nothing like
being in earnest, although the earnestness
might be devoted to better cause.
