The following remarkable commendation of the paper money system of the United States appears fm the London Stock Exchange Circular of Decem- ber 21:— x The syatem ofthe United States furnishes ample {that though defective on a main point (its Inconvertibility), ® paper currency, based on the credit of a strong government, isa good currency. Wf the federal government could make the legal tenders, commonly called greenbacks, exchange- able for gold at their face value at the Treasury Shat currency would be sound, and perhaps the most desirable that could be introduced, The prin- ciple on which THE NATIONAL BANKS are founded ts to base the notes they issue, not on gold) but on the United States bonds. The security a ie Sed and works for the benefit of the govern- nae well as of the banks. Instead of having @ c pillars filled with the precious metals lying in + QR urtproductive state, the security upon which » they work earns for the banks five per cent, and ga she\ people recognize in that security perfect ,\ that confidence is imparted which is the veryerisence of business, Could not some portion ‘ol the machinery which is found to work 80 satis- facteriiy in the United States be imported into this founity\ to the beneilt of the mercantile com- enunity 1872, $1,400,643 4,787,201 904 Total for week Prev, reporte: Total for yer MONEY RASY AND UNSETTLED.

The rise in-our bonds in London and a revival of the domestic inquiry on the part-of investors seek- ing employment for January dividend moneys led toafurther improvement in government bonds, the whole list becoming buoyant late in the after- neon, in sympathy with an advance in the ’67’s to 11434, which price continued to be bid to the close of business.. The steadiness of the gold premium interposed no check to the rise, which reached the currency sixes as well as the gold issues, the quotation changing to 112% from 11234 at the first board. The influx of money at this centre and the apprehension of a glut of currency and of low rates on call are stimulating buying on the part of CAPITALISTS AND CORPORATIONS for the investment of their funds during the dul- ness of the Winter season, ‘The following wore the closing prices:—United States cur- rency sixes, 112% a@ 113; do. do., 1881, registered, 114%; do. do, 40, coupon, 115% a 115%; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 112% bid; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 112% bid; do. do., 1864, do. do., 11334 bid; do, do., 1865, do, do., 11414 bid; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 113% a 114; do. do., 1865, coupon, d0., 113 @ 118%; do. €0,, 1867, do. do., 11444 0114%5 do. do., 1868, do. do., 1133 a 114; do, ten-forties, registered, 110 a@ 110%; do. do., coupon, 110a 11014; do, fives of 1881, registered, 111 3g @ 112; do. do. do., coupon, 111% a 112. STOCKS ACTIVE AND FEVERISH, The stock market was feverish and unsettled, prices ruling weak at one time and strong at an- other; the general result of which irregularity was to cause a disintegration of the stock list and a re- arrangement of its several features on the oppos- ing sides of speculation. Thus, New York Central advanced to 100%, forming the nucleus for a atrong movement in Lake Shore, C. C. and I. C. and West- ern Unton Telegraph, while a persistent decline in Pacific Mail spread with equal ill effect to Rock Island, both falling off 1% per cent, and induced lower prices in Wabash, Ohios and Union Pacific, The contagion of this weakness oxtended to the greater part of the list, and involved to some de- gree even the shares which had been previously chaperoned by the advancing New York Central, a scurry to sell leading to quite A SUDDEN “BREAK” all around at the time that money was reported active enough to command a smajl commission for itsuse. The movement in Erie was independent of local considerations, the price rising to 64, in sympathy with and in advance of the Lendon mar- ket, but receding to 63%. Boston, Hartford and Erie fell off te 6%, recovered to 7% and reacted to Tq. The larger volume of business refects the in- creased interest in the market, now that money is accessible on terms which speculation is always ready to pay, and the views of operators are diverse enough to make the situation prolific of farther speculative animation. The conundram whether the ‘January rise” is to be preceded by a | fall, or whether it is to commence without further ado, is gradually engaging thought and margins for and against its selution the one way or the other, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— Lowest, York Central... 9994 + Of 6254 + 1 9626 . a ant < s | an 1st | St. Paut.. 54% Hd | St. Paul preferred. 11% 11% Ohio and Mississipp’ 48% 484 | Union Pacitic.. seve 894 3855 ©, C. and LC. es 38 B7i5 Western Union Telegraph. 9 7935 Pacific Mail. . 13% 1235 In Philadelphia Reading was at 13%, SALES AT THE NEW YORK STOOK EXCHANGE.

The general merchandise markets opened firmer a8 @ rule to-day, but the demand was moderate, save in afew exceptional cases, At the Produce Exchange the four market was firm under a fair demand, and shipping grades in particular were very firmly held. Wheat was in good demand for shipment, an the market was firmer though prices were not quotably higher, At the close, however, prime Spring was nela at higher’ figures, Corn was also wanted for ship- ment and full prices were paid, both in store and afloat. There was a freer movement in oats, ana prices were higher. Whiskey was easier, but fairly active. There was but little done in pro- visions. Freights were easier, which induced quite an actlve movement in grain by vessels on the berth. Cotton was in moderately fair demand and easy. Petroleum continued neglected and nominal, Groceries were quiet, but values under- went no material change. Naval stores continued dull, and spirits were nominally easier, CorFeg.—The market continued very strong, but aside from a fair jobbing trade there were no transactions from first hands reported here, At Baltimore sales were made of 1,180 bags Rio, per May- wie V.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO, the CENTRAL AND WESTERN PACLFIC BONDS, ail of which have been Regotiated by us, we believe to bé. among the best and most desirable investment securities in the market, ‘which in time must become very scarce, especially as the government will probably, during the coming year, pay off, in gold, another large lot of five-twenties and teoue in their place five percent bonds. THE CHESAPEAKE AND OUIO SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS, the total amount of which is oaly $15,000,000, are secured upon a property worth $35,000,000 to $40,000,000, and are fully equal in intriasic value to the Central Pacific Bonds. They are issued in denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000, coupon or registered, and at their present market price—6 and accrued interest— are very desirable. THE CENTRAL PACIFIO SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS are too well known to require description or commendation, Their total amount is $25,898,000, They have for a long time ranged in market price near or above par. bait THE WESTERN PACIFIC SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS afnount to $2,785,000, This road is now consoli- ated with the Central Pacific, and the payment of its bonds, principal and interest,is assumed by the latter. Con- Pon Bonds $1,000each. Their market price to-day is 89% to 8944, As they have recently been introduced on the Stock Exchange we expect to see them rapidly rise to the price of Central Pacifica, being substantially the same in character and value.

That is the Way We Do It in This Country.” On the night of the 16th of December a number o! patrons of the bottle met in the saloon of Silas Olmstead, corner of Spring and Washington streets, and divided the time between the discussion of Politicat and social questions and gin drinking. The discussions waxed warm and eventuated ina hot discussion between one James Lawler and Jolin J. Darrington, of 94 Chariton street. They finally came to blows and hid a rough and tumblo fight on the floor, in the presence of the inmates and John Mulkins, of No, 55 Vandam street, and fhe Markeeper, Joby Mepanglg Some of the spec fators Attempted to pull Lawier, who was brutany kicking Darrington, off him, when one of the semi- drunken crowd yelled, “Let him have it! That's the way we do ft in this country.” The hint was enough, and the fight progressed without inter- ruption until Darrington was laid out and cem-. pletely exhausted, when the brute Lawley discon-. tinted the use of hi 8 fate and heel taps, Darring- ton was conveye his residence, and frour thence taken to Bellevue Hospital, and Lawler was arrested by the police. The accused, Coroner Young learns, was let out on $1,000 batl by Judge Cox, of Jefferson Market, his mother becoming nis security, and he has since disappeared. About eight o’clock on Sunday evening a mes- senger from the hoepital summoned Coroner Young to Bellevue Hospital rington, who was in the last stages of dissolution;; but before he arrived the man died. ‘These are all the details that have reached the Coroner, Who will hold an inquest to-day or to- morro’ The police have so far been unable to learn the whereabouts of Lawler, who, the Coroner has been informed, has put a long distance betweem him and the scene of his brutality, WONDERFUL EXHIBITION OF COWARDICE. New York, Jan. 4, 1873. To THE EpITOR OF THE HERALD:. I was a witness to a remarkable exhibition of cowardice in a University place car, this (Satur- day) afternoon, at about five o’clock. As the car passed Bleecker street without stopping, a woman, dressed in mourning and bareheaded, jumped or flung herself on to the car in great fright, and stated that a man who was following her had drawn a pistol on her twice and was trying to kill her! Tke ruflian could be seen on the sidewalk, following the car. The woman took a seat be- tween an old gentleman and lady, Immediately several cowardly gentlemen (/) demanded of the conductor to put the woman off the car, fearing that the rufiian outside might fire into the car! The cowardly conductor said he would «do 80 if it was the wish of the passengers, and ne im- mediately so decided, and peremptorily ordered. the woman off. She, with tears and sobs and in reat fright, implored the conductor not to put her off the car as she had no friends and the rufiap outside would kill her, he having twice drawn a pistol on her! None of the gentiemen(?) spoke in the woman’s defence or favor, several continued to demand her expulsion and the cowardly con- ductor pulled the bell and ordered the woman to get off; then an old gentleman spoke up and satd. e snould stay and should not be put of, and it was decided to let her remain until a policeman could be ound. The car proceeded along to Clin- ton place, then to University place, to Thirteentix street, the rafan following the ear all the way. At Thirteenth street and University place a policeman was found, when the woman was placed im his charge. Was not this « magnificent specimen of cowardly tmeanness? A id of men afraid of one ruMan—afraid to pro- poor, friendless woman in danger of her liie ; demanding that she should be put out of the car, so that the ruMan might have a better chance to murder her, 80 that they might enjey their ride in safety and save five cents! Please request the car company to get a more courageous conductor and one who understands his duty better—one who wi! BERS aD unprotected woman even against a car- load of male cowards or a sidewalk ruffian. NOT A COWARD.
