TOWNE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. I believe the writer on the money panic has hit the right nail on the Lead, and given the real ex- apap of our troubles. Thece is pleuty of specie the country, but it is in-the wrong pia‘e; it hea been taken away from the banks e2d locked up. Toe barks ca:not dieccumt move becouse t'ey have not got specie ensughb. The extended legizi- meta bu-inees requires increased secomm dation, and those wanting money sre seut into the strest, where they are met by ccoskiogs of worne times, are w!d how much a month the first class paper of A. & Co. baa been doge at, and are glad t> aub mit to any sbave, psying a good rouad adiitionst | of the fancies for the purpose of specu'a ion, and & | suffice to give activity to fancy stocks.

There is not the stiphtect ciaposition to iake hold of aay will, without doubt,be some time befure we shal! see any movement of that kicd of any importance. A mnoderate let up in the moaey market would not have bad enough of speculation for atime, and they | will not be again lead -vers easily into it. The loaxe recently realized will not soon be fo-gotten,aud then very few will have the means to emgage vey exten- sively in any operations for s long time. Qnota- tions for e*ccks generally may not fall eff much more, but it is pretty certain they cannot | improve much until a great change takes place in their condition and actual value. The decline in foreign excharges, which many look upon as a favorable feature, may prove just the coutrary. A decline to points that would just prevent shipments of specie was desirable ; but a falling off to points caleulated to create any apprehensions in the Lon- don money market would react upon us, and prove & greater loss than gain. We have no fears thet euch a decline in rates can be sustained long enongh to have any injurious effect om the other side. Our pring impo:tetions must soon commence, and, although they will in the aggregate be limi'ed, they will, beyoad a queation, be large enough to keep excharge up to healthy pointe. We shall-be content if our supplies of California gold ean be retained in the country. The addition of four millices of dollare per month to our stock of pre cious metals would suffice to speedily remove our financil troubles. An importation ef gold from Europe would lead to an undue inflation, and we should soon feel its injurious effects. For every dollar imported into this country from England, ven would in lesa than twelve months go back.

Various coals are sold in this market as ‘“Camber- land” that are mere trash. The genuine article can be had of reapectab'e companies. The Cumberland coal field proper comprizes oaly a small por:ion of the district so named. We learn that s»me com- panies, having inferior kinds of coal, sell as “Cam- berlsnd.” Purchasers should be on their gaard. Those who have tried the genaice coal fiad it free from soot and smell, and a pl and cheap fael. ‘The Boston railroad share market continues dall.

The managers of these institutions sould look closely to their secarities, and not wait too Jorg ia placing themselves in fands. Those insti- tutions have toe large a per con! of their deposits locked up in such sesurities as cannot bo made available.
