We look for nothing of a very start- ling character from the West relative to banking affairs, believing that most of the explosions for the season have taken place. Our local difficulties have become very much moderated. During the excitement attending frequent failures of banks and bankers within our own limits, we have nearly lost sight of the position of - public affairs om the other side of the Atlantic. It has partially been for- gotten that a war is going on in Europe, which threatens to involve every government, either directly or indirectly, and may perhaps lead to civil commotion of » more ex- tended character than any ever yet known in Europe. We appear to have forgotten that in the event of the pre- sent war continuing, enormous loans must be made, the rate of taxation increased, and all those evils realized which extraordinary expenditures for extraordinary purposes. invariably produce.

Specie in the vaults of the assistant treasurer for this district, Nov. 20, 1854, $4,809,403 4, Gov. Reid, of North Carolina, in a recent message to the Legislature, states that the amount of the public debt on the Sist of October, 1654, was two millions eight hundred and ninety-five thousand seven hundred and twenty-two dollars and thirty-three cents ($2,895,72233), This does not include two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) worth of bonds of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railrosd Company, which were endorsed by the Senate, because the company regularly meets the interest, and, frem time to time, is paying a portion of the principal of itsdebt. Gov, Reid urges the Legisla- ture to continue the plans for inland improvements, and says: “What can be done with safety ought to be done now, and the rest left to time. Wild and visionary schemes should be avoided, and the credit of the State should be inviolably maintained.” The Governor of Arkansas, in his message to the Legis- lature of that State, gives the annexed statement rela tive to the public finances and the operations of the Real Estate Bauk:— The State of Arkansas issued to the Real Estate Bank 1,580 of her bonds. By the sale of the bonds the bank ol her banking capital, amounting to one million five hundred and thirty thousand dollars, By the provisions of the charter, the bank was bound to Bay the iaterest, and also to redeem the bonds. The stockholders, 180 in number, mortgaged to the State of ‘Arkansas 141,980 acres of land, valued by the comtmis- sioners under oath at $2,603,932 32, as an indemnity to the State and the holders of these bonds, for the pay- ment by the bank of the interest and the redemption or payment of the bonds. It is represented that the bank paid the interest on these 1,530 bonds up to the first day of July, 1841, and that no interest has been paid by the bank since that date. Under the act to establish the western branch of the Real Estate Bank, the State issued to that institution 500 more of her bonds, each for $1,000, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum, and the stockhold- ers, 100 in number, under this act, a to the State of Arkansas 65,121 acres of land, valued by com- missioners under oath at $776,840 06, ‘as an indemnity to the State and the holders of the bonds, for the pay- ment by the bank of the interest, and also for the Pay. ment or redemption of the bonds when due. By terms of the charter, these borids could not be dis] oft less than par; but the bank, without authority, and in violation of law, hypothecated them to the ‘North American Trust and Banking Company” ef New York, on the 7th day of September, 1840, and aN ‘obtained upon the five hundred bonds the ‘sum of $122,389 17, ese hypothecated bonds have never been returned to the State, but by the illegal acts of the bank have been placed beyond her control. On the 2d day of April, 1842, by a deed of eabeemest the assets of the bank, amounting, as stated, to $2,405, - 966 15, were placed in the hands of trustees. deed of assignment was made, besides the princi; bank at Little Rock, there were four branches of the Real Estate Bank: one at Washit mn, one at Columbus, one at Helena, and the other at Van Buren. Before the wter of the bank, principal bank, and two direc: tors at each of its branches, to rd and protect her interests. But by the deed of assignment, the State was deprived of her representation in the bank. Every ofli- cerer agent of the State was and has been excluded. The trustees of the Real Estate Bank and their two offi- cers, the attorney and the cashier and secretary, have had control and management ever since the 24 of April, 1649, of the large fund of assets, stated at two millions four hundred and five thousand nine hundred and sixty. six dollars and fifteen cents, well as the interest, which, from timé to time, accumulated on the debts dur. ing this period of more than twelve years and a hall. The notes of individuals to the bank drew interest at the rate of eight per cent, and under certain circum- stances'ten per cent perannum. The State bonds sold by the bank bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum. The liabilities of the bank on the 2d day of April, 1: ted to be 986 59, being than the assets on that day stated to in the hands of the trustees under th: deed of nent. The executive has. no official report or information from the bank, showing all its present liabilities and the amount of assets now remaining unexhausted. But it is believed that if the true condition of the bank were known, the [mays pes Habilities would be near a million of dollars r than they were on the 2d day of April, 1842, this be so now, and if the trustees and officers received $174,979 56 more of assets than the bank owed on the 24 day of April, 1842, certainly the people of this State, and particularly the stockholders, who mortgaged land fo secure the State and bondholders against loss, are deeply interested in having a full explanation and a true statement of the cause of this deficiency. It seems to me that the interests, credit and honor of the State are too deeply involved for any officer or legislator of the State to do any act which would tend to rey or éelay such action as is necessary to obtain a full and complete explanation, let the responsibility and account- ability fail on whomsoever it may. Not one of the 1,530 bonds sold by the bank has been redeemed and surrendered to the authorities of theState. But by a statement of the cashier and secretary, it ap- ogi that on the first of October, 1854, the trustees had their hands 179 of these bonds, and that the interest on the bonds and coupons taken up, amounted to $143,160, leaving unpaid by the bank 1,251 bonds, upon which the st unpaid by the interes bank amounted, on the 1st of Oc- tober, 1854, to $1,073,190. But by {nformation from the Treasury De t of the United States, it a) partment ears that the gum of $41,047 29, part of the funds which had accrued to this State from the 1st day of Jan- uary, 1841, to the Ist day of January, 1853, on account of the five per cent of the net proceeds of @to sales of pub- lic lands within the State, and on account of the distribu- tive share of the proceeds of the public lands, under the act of Congress of 4th September, 1841, had been re- tained at the United Staten treasury, and applied before the Ist of October, 1854, towards interest due on 600 donds of this State, which had been issued to the Real Estate Bank, and which are held by the Secretary of the Treasury in trust for the benefit of the Smithsonian In- stitution, Therefore, the real amount of interest due on the Ist of October, 1654, om the 1,451 bonds not taken up by the bank, was $1,031,242 71, making, when added to the amount of the bonds, $2,382,242 71. It also appears that the bank is indebted for $122,289 77, obtained on the 7th September, 1840, from the North ‘American Trust and Banking Company, om the 500 bonds which the bank hypothecated, and for the interest on the money M4 to the Ist October, 1 in the sum of $225,666 31, which, added to the $2,382,242 71, makes a debt of $2,607,000 02, on account of the Real Estate Bank of the State of Arkansas, on the Ist day of October, 1854. The bonds sold by this bank will not be due until the 26th day of October, 1861. Relative to the fiscal affairs of the State, the Gover- nor asks attention to the reports of the Auditor and Treasurer, from which {t appears that the State debt, for warrangs issued by the Treasurer to defray ordinary oxpenses of the State, and which amounted to $175,751 74, was all paid during the last two fiscal years, except 8371 76, and that on the lat day of October, 1854, there remained in the treasury, subject to be used for ordinary expenses, & balance, in specie, of $29,514 29, The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of foreign dry gooda entered into this port for onsump- tion, for warehouse, and also the withdrawals from warehouse, during the week ending Thursday, Novem- ber 30, 1854:— Movraents i Forricx Dry Goons.

Paiare: C wool. . . 6,672 $265,197 We have no important changes to notice in the dry goods business. Dulness and languor are the prevailing cbaracteristics, and there is at present no prospect of any alteration for the better. Tho supplies remaining in market are heavy enough for the season, and there appears to be an increasing anxiety to sell them. This end cannot, however, be attained, except at greater re- ductions in prices, which factors are not very willing to make, The auctioneers are closing out pretty large catalogues, but at very low rates, these being, in many cases, much under the prime cost of the articles thus disposed of. Hence, such transactions are not of much benefit to owners. Indeed, these have not much reason to be pleased with this season’s results, as they have been in most instances sufferers therein. We hope, how- ever, that the spring trade will be more beneficial to them, as, in this case, they will be able to regain much of the ground which they have already lost, Other parties are pretty.well off, and can calmly awalt the fu- ture. This future may be rendered the harbinger of better and more prosperoas times, by the prudent action ofallour dealers, each in his legitimate sphere. It is the duty and the interest of those engaged in the busi- ness to conduct their affairs so as to aid in bringing about this desirable result. Brown and bleached sheetings and shirtings of favo- tite styles are saleable and firm. There isa fair busi- ness being transacted in cotton flannels, at previous figures. The supply in very limited. We notice loss movement in denims, érills, and duck ; but these are pretty stiffly held, the stock being rather modera! Ginghams appear quiet at unchanged figures, Lawns and nankins are retailing only at very irregular prices. Osnaburgsare plenty and heavy, being in but slack re- quest. Printing cloths are essentially the same. Prints are dull and heavy. Stripes and ticks continue rather scarce and firm, with s moderate inquiry, * Woollen goods evince ne special variation. Some sea- sonable articles are rather more sought after at previous figures, but this does not render the business much brisker, and adds nothing to the firmness of the market, which is very languid for the bulk of the articles now offering in it. There is a little more activity in blankets; but these are without improvement im price. Cassi- meres, cloths, and doeskins are sparingly dealt in, and slightly favor buyers. Flannels are in pretty fair re- quest at old rates. There is nothing really new to no- tice in jeans or linseys, Mouslin de laines are quiet, but firm. Satinets, shawls and tweeds remain inactive and depressed. Foreign productions are in limited demand goneratty, and prices are very irregular. Goods that are not exactly suited to the taste of buyers are difficult to sell at any rate, but capnot be closed. out, at full figures, either privately or publicly. This is just the case with the greater part of our present stock, as this has been ren- dered very poor Dy the repeated selections of purchasers. Hence the extreme inactivity and weakness now per ceptible in almost every branch of the trade. We do not expect any improvement in this regard during the remainder of the present year. The imports are com- paratively light, and are not increasing, but their effects will be searcely discernible till it is rather late in the spring, We cannot, however, believe it will prove a bad one. On the contrary, we anticipate very good results from the diminished arrivals; and to realize this antici- pation it is only mecessary for our importers and jobbers to act jiously and temperately. Recklessness is not enterprise, and is not profitable, especially in these hard times. Let our operators remember this and be consis- tent in their movements. Then all will work well.
