FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Tomar, Feb. 15—6 P. M. In a fow days the Legislature of this State will be called ‘wpon to take up the recommendations contained in the Go- svernor’s message with regard to the railroads of New ‘York. It will be remembered that the Governor stated ‘dass, out of some seventy-four railroads in this State, sixty paid no interest on their cost. He suggested that the Le- gislaturo should inquire how all this property had become waproductive, and whether it did not full within the pro- vince of the State authorities to protect the parties whose means had thus been dispersed. ‘The members of the Legislature will discover, at a very early stage in their inquiries, that the comparative failure of the railway system in this country may be traced to three causes. First, most of the Ame. riean railways were, in the origin, less intend. ed to pay interest on their cost than todevelope new eountry; hence, they have almost always been run below reasonable and remunerative rates. Secondly, most roads having been built for this proper and wise parpose, fell, shortly after their construction, into the hands of speculators, who sacrificed the true interests of the property to the payment of large and unearned divi- dends. And, thirdly, these same speculators, being con- cerned exclusively about stock operations and the pay- ment of dividends, in most instances neglected repairs which were essential for the preservat'on of the property. ‘The first of these three causes of ruin is beyond the reach of the Legislature or any other authority, Whatever the parpose with which the roads were built, there they are; they canzot now be pulled up and rebuilt on some new principle. Nor can the fares, in the existing state of com- petition, be raised materially above the present rates, But the two last sources of mischief—the payment of un- earned dividends and the neglect of necessary repairs— may be profitably examined by a legislative committes, and sound principles elicited for the future guidance of railway people. If the committee will take the history of the six or eight moet prominent Northern roais for the past three or four or five years, they will find in every instance that in the origin unduly large and unearned dividends were paid to stockholders. Abroad, as in England, for instance, where railroad fares are inordinately high, a road which pays three per cent is considered to be doing remarkably well. Here, no road was worth touching unless it paid seven or eight per cent annually, and some roads actually divided thirty per cent ina single year. Of course—though for a few weeks, owing to an extraordinary combination of eircumstances, profits of this magnitude may have been made—no such dividends as these were legitimately earned. To pay them, in the first place, money which should have been expended in repairs was ex! sted, and, next, this resource proving inadequate, recourse was bad to money lenders, and large sums were borrowed. This policy led to two results. Roads were allowed to fall into decay, tracks were washed away for want of new sleepers or proper earth work, cars rotted for want of paint, or fell to pieces for want of joiner-work; all kinds of accidents occurred; and when business came, the roads had neither a track, nor roadbed, nor cars, nor engines to do it with. ‘This was one consequence of neglecting repairs. Another was, that when the want of them became so urgent that they could no longer be delayed, they were naturally very costly, and—there being no money to defray thoir cost {every dollar having been paid away in dividends)— money was borrowed to make them. Thus the debt originally incurred for the payment of uncarned divi dends was swelled by further creations of indebtedness to pay for repairs; and between the two nearly every North- ern road that was managed by speculators on the system ‘we baye mentioned, came, in course of time, to have that fatal disease, a floating and concealed debt, which it car- ried along at a charge for interest greater than the whole Profits of the road, and which, sooner or later, was mo- rally certain to break out into absolute bankruptcy. The Legislative Committee can easily verify the truth of the above history by reference, for example, to the records of the New York and Erie, the Reading, the Michigan South- ern, the Cleveland and Toledo, and the Illinois Central. All of these companies were brought to death’s door by the pay- ment of unearned interest or dividends, by the neglect of repairs, and, consequently, by the creation of floating debts, which were always kept hidden from the stock- holders and the public. If the committee desire to study the disease at an earlier stage—before the discovery of the floating debt, before the collapse of the bubble—they need go no further than the ofice of the New York Contral Raitroad at Albany. That road is pursuing the very course which ruined the Frie, the sfichigan Southern, the Reading, ‘and so many other roads: it is paying dividends that are not earned, and it ts neglecting repairs which are necessary This is made obvious even by the figurce published by th Central itself, in which, for many reasons, most persons place little reliance. The business of the road, as shown by the reports of the company, has been as follows for the past thirty months:— Pericds. y in. Dividends paid 1856-7, 12 months 8,027 201 8 per cent 1967-°5 { 2&t 6 months....°. 3,523,000 4 per cont "8 {aa do. 8,005,000 4 per ceat. 1857-9, ist 6 mouths,...... 3,323,000 4 per cent. It need hardly be remarked that the most profitable months of the Central's fiscal year are the first half of that year, from October to February. The earnings of the se- ond period of tbe current fiscal year will hardly amouut to $3,000,000. Yet the dividend in February was paid, and no question is entertained but that the usual dividend will be paid in August. Those who can may believe that in 1856-7, when the New York Central sock was steadily declining, and the most desperate efforts were being made to sustain it by the friends of the company, the directors forebore to declare as much profit as they earned; that, having it in their power to pay ten, they chose to pay only eight. . The committee will decide whether this is at all likely or poszible. If itis not, then, by their own show- ing, the Central is paying out dividends which have not been earned. Its own reports are equally couclusive as to the neglect of repairs, The record of the three last years is as follows: — Mites run. Repairs to road.

Last year, though nearly half a million amore miles were run than in 186-6, over haif « million of dollars less were expended in ropaire than in that year and this, be it remembered, is quite independent of a sum ©f $200,000, or thereabouts, which must have been ex- pended to put in repair the Canandaigua and Niagara Falls road, which, according to the scandalous chronicle of Albany, was forced upon the Central, against the pro ‘est of the President, by a leading aud most influential di rector, who had the misfortune to own a large interest in it, Here is food enovgh for the legisiative committee. There was no animation in the stock market to-day, and no increase of business. The efforts of brokers to get up Speculative movements can never succeed without the aid of the public, and that cannot be expected until, in the fires place, the leading railroads begin to carn dividends, {and secondly, till they are honestly managed. No baying at ail, by commission brokers, is taking place. The lat advance in the government fives and in Missouris was lost today. New York Central rose as high as 79, but gold afterwards as low as 78%, ‘The Western rosds were rather lower at the close of the day. In coal stocks we notice some activity, Delaware and Hudson is in demand at last quotations; Pennsylya- nia likewise; Cumberland was beter at the afternoon board. After the second board there was a bad feeling among operators, and the market closed heavy. Jast quotations were as follows:—Missouri, 8434 a Ki ton, 20 a 4; Cumberland, 2214 a %; Pacific Mail, 4; New York Central, 7854 a %; Erie, 13 9 34; Helin, 32% a 34; Harlem, 15} a 14; Reading, 48% a \49; Michi- 202 Ventral, 493¢ a ; Michigan Southern, 1844 a 34; do. guaranteed 443¢ a %; Panama, 114% 2 %; Illinois Cen- tral, 66% a %; Galena, 6834 a 14; Cleveland and Toledo, 30) & 31; Rock Island, 604 a 4; Milwaukio and Missis- wippi, 13% a —; La Crosse and Milwaukie, 14 4. Money is rather higher to-day. Very few of the bro- kers are now borrowing at loss than six por cent, and though some of the bankers continue to have loans ou! five, they express anxiety to put their rate up to the bank figure without delay. Forcign exchange iv very firm and Bills are scarce. The steamer to-morrow will take proba- bly over $750,000, which, with $500,000 sent to-day to New Orleans, and $200,000 to Woston, will leave us some- thing poorer than we were before the California steamer came in. ‘The following was to-day’s Wusiness at the Sub-Treasu- al 000; BAS % 2" 25,000 00 500,000 00 200,000 00 6,880,201 56 ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House to-day were $18,879,393 75, and the balances $1,032,851 43. ‘The following is a comparative statement of the Phila- delphia banks:— ee a -+-$12,689,245 11,589,145 Inc.. 100 Capital stock. .

From a Wall Street Correspondent. WALL Strmet, Tuesday, Feb. 15, 1859. ‘The amount of specie that will be shipped in the Asia to-morrow Will, we are informed, be over $900,000, and on Saturday a small amount will also go forward on the New York steamer for Southampton; in all about $1,100,000, ‘The supply of money among private bankers is libe but not so with the banks, The former variously charg. ing five to eix per cent for call loans, and the latter invari. ably seven, The Trust Companies charge six per cent, Old five per cent loans are not disturbed, lenders think ing it best not prematurely to disturb them; but the ten. deney is in that direction. ‘There was a considerable business transacted in sterling bills and in francs for to-morrow’s steamer, the former at 1094§ per cent for bankers’ bills.

The scount brokers and houses still are ready par- chasers of good business paper at 6a 7 per cent, but the banks only take paper from their customers at full lega rates. Long dates and single names range from 7 a8 per cent. ‘Tho Sub-Treasury payments were large to-day, amount- ing to over a million of dollars. $500,000 were sent to New Orleans, and $200,000 to Boston, although exchange with Boston is in favor of New York.

There have been no recent arri- vais of ships, the wind being unfavorable, which accounts for the light duties received im the last few days. The disbursements this week will, we learn, yet be heavy ‘The system of banking in this State, under our peculiar ‘end conflicting laws, has been subject to few or 00 limita tions, the governing principles being the individual views | ‘and opinions prevailing within each bank. A reform was advocated for many years by the oldest and most expe- rienced bankers, some of whom have died without acoom- Plishing the object. Efforts in this direction are being talked of in the city, but not in the form of any binding regulation. The Louisiana system—which is also that of the Bank of France, and nearly identical with the princi- Ples upon which the Bank of England endeavors to regu- late its movements—is being discussed in comparison with the system lately proposed by the new Board of Cur- rency at Clinton Hall. ‘The leading features of the Louisiana law require a minimum reserve in coin of one-third of the liabilities, and limit the maximum of discounts to twice the capital. ‘The proposed New York system, which is already acted on by a few banks, makes once and a half the capital and the specie on hand as the maximum of discounts, the re- serye of coin to be at least twenty per cent of the liabilities, exclusive of the Circulating notes, which are secured by State stocks. This is for the banks of the whole Slate. Applied only to the city banks, the reserve of coin, it is considered, should be placed at twenty-five per cent. The practical operation of these measures, applied to the banks of the cities of New York, Boston and New Orleans, will be seen in the following statements, the figures being millions of dollars:— Loays AND ; New Fork, — Boston.

Although the New York banks are nearly up to the maximum of the discount line of the Louisiana law, they can (by ac- cumulating coin) expand under the New York sysiem to ar extent which the wants of commerce and trade may juire. e system which was formerly pursued by many of the banks of this State was not governed by any principle of banking» which expe- rience in this country or in Europe had proved w be cither sound or conservative; and the great majority of the banks of the interior, tested by the proposed Now York system, the Louisiana law, or ifn principles of the Banke of England and France, are now in full gallop to- ward an inflation as great apd disastrous as that of 1857. It is obvious, therefore, that our city banks, holding as they do the deposits of the interior, should place thom- selves upon the soundest and most Conservative system, that experience dictates. They ure already withia two millions of the minimum reserve proposed by the new system; and if the contraction of last week fails to increase that reserve, there is no other alternative but to continue the contraction until the reserve accumulates to ‘an extent sufficient to meet the increasing demands of trade and commerce, There is one feature about the proposed New York sys- tem especially worthy of notice. Its movemeats corres- pond more nearly to those which wouid take piace if the currency were’ wholly metallic than thos» of any of the other systems; it allows only an expansion in loans of dollar for doiiar of coin beyond once and a half the amount of the capital. We observe that Mr. George Opdyke, of this city, has introduced @ bill into the Legislature at Albany requiring that the capital of all banks hereafter to be orgunized shall be fully paid up in coin before they can commence business, and that an affidavit to that effect eball be made to the Superintendent of the Bank Department, and for. bidding all banks from loaning on pledge of their own stock. Loans, when made by a bank on its own stock, are virtually a reduction of its capital to that extent, and take from the depositors not only part of the guarantee given by the capital, but also means, in the loaving of which they should have the preference, as it is from them that the profits of the bank are mainly derived. The principal objection to free banking, and the only one worthy of covsideration, has been the creation of more banks than we needed, many of them being simply organized borrowers of money. The restriction proposed by Mr. Opdyke will render it more difficult to establish such organizations, and the principle has been recoguized by the banks of this city in their refusal to admit any bank to the Clearing House until its capital bas been fully paid, We notice the organization in Brooklyn of a bank with the same name as one already established in this Wi We refer to the Nassau of Brooklyn. have already the Mechanics’ Bank and the Atlantic ‘Bam? both of New York and Brookjyn, and the similarity of names has been the cause of much annoyance both to the banks and the public. It is obvious that there should be but one bank of the same name iw the State. The Superin- tendent of Banking has objected to it; but there being no law under which he could refuse to receive a certificate of organization, he yielded, 80 that we may expect in time to have in Brookiyn duplicates of all our banks. The exchanges at the Buuk Clearing House to-day amounted to $18,879,393, and balances to $1,032,351. The stock market to-day shows the same timorous and distrustful spirit it bas done for some time. Outsiders won't buy,and insiders begin to grow tired of their con- tinued efforts to buoy up the market. There is no pros- pect ts side of the falfof any tmprovement in railroad receipts, and the aspects of the money market are becoming worse. One or two stocks showed some improvement. Beading advanced under a scarci- ty of cash stock. Sales—unreported in the list were made between boards at 60, but at the second board the price cloned at 49, seller taree—an ad- vance of Sg. The stock of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad advanced to 28 in the morning and to 30 in the afternoon, in consequence of reports of increased re- ceipte on the road, and a probability bth some dividend being made next July. Pacific Mail ‘amsiip stock also advanced 1; from the extreme low price of yesterday; after the second board one hundred shares were sold at 75, seller thirty. The company has a large surplus, and is fuhiy resolved, the directors say, to contest the Ii with Commodore Vanderbilt rather than submit to exorbitant and unjust pretensions.
