The strong points supporting the use of Fell
lows Compound OF Hypophosphites are, that
while it takes immediate hold upon the sys-
tenn, in stimulating the Liver, regulating and
strengthening the muscles of the Heart,
Stomach, Lungs, &C., it has no facilitating
effect under any circumstances; and while
its continued use is marked by the general
toning of the system, without producing con-
stipating effects, it may be stopped at any
time without the usual disagreeable effect fol-
lowing the discontnuance of some otherwise
valuable tonics. These characteristics are
particularly valuable to consumptives and
other debiltated invalids, and are peculiar to
this preparation. decl9t&wlw

The Funding Bill and New National
Banks.
Special Despatch to The EUentng telegraph.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Secretary Boutwell,
stated to-day that he had taken no action as
yet on the provision in the Funding bill autho-
riziDg him to redeem fve-twenty bonds after
giving three months notice. The probabilities
are that he will carry out the law, with the
view of compelling holders of five-twenties of
1862 to exchange them tor new five per cent.
bonds.
Several Boston bankers were in conference to-
day with the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Comptroller of the Currency, to ascertain
whether permission would be granted them to
establish new banks sunder the law of the last
Congress authorizing an increase of $54 900, 900
national bank circulation alter the expiration of
one year, as provided by law.
Both the Secretary and the Comptroller coin
cded in the opinion that no Eastern States were
entitled to- nor would they be allowed, any
additional national banks. The Secretary
added that he was in favor of allowing all that
was not taken in States and Territories that
were entitled 10 it to remain in the Treasury to
be taken as their necessities require.
Senate To-day.
AS soon as the journal was read, Mr.. Cameron
moved that the Senate proceed to executive
business. Senator Sumner has the floor, not, he
says, for q set speech, but for the purpose of
discussing some of the points of international
law in the regulations contained in the treaty
for the settlement of both English and American
claims
The correspondents having answered all ques-
tions concerning the
Premature Publication

involved, the impression is that the matter will
not be pushed any further.
