THE MONETARY SITUATION, ——_+—_——— The President's Recommendations on the Subject of Banking and Currency Con- sidered from the Standpoint of the Beal Estate Market. A POINT IN EQUITY. What Constitutes Free Banking and a People’s Currency — Presidential Reticence and Congressional Reckleasness — A Fair Warning. The expectation that was submitted here some ‘weeks ago of a possible revival of animation in the Teal estate market, even before the spring, does not show much sign of iruition, Although the panto, which brought with it a suspension of deal- ings here as elsewnere, is over, 1t has left behind 1t @ legacy of ideas in respect to reforms in our banking and currency systems, vaguely suggested or definitely projected, that require to be worked out to asolution or rejection before new enter- prises in respect to real estate operations, as in- deed in most other departments of business ac- tivity, can be safely entered upon. And nowhere else will the issue of these purposes of reform re- nect more directly than in this market, Not even the stock market, which, after all, is more subject to local and personal influences than answerable to general principles, has a8 much interest in these grave financial proviems, with which Congress is called upon so suddenly to deal, as real estate. Take, forexample, a single point, recently the subject ofheated controversy among the banks themselves in this city—the subject of a denuncia- tory paragraph in the President’s Message and a Matter of dispute among some of our soundest Snancial thinkers— THE PAYMENT BY BANKS OF INTEREST ON DEPOSITS. What, it will be asked by some, bas a matter of that kind to do with real estate? We answer, Much, The payment of interest on deposits by the Now York banks has the effect of attracting to this city a large amount of capital which, either itself or by letting loose other capital, furnishes the means of much of that costly improvement that has so enhanced the value of real estate here from year to year, It likewise helps to stimulate real estate investment by the ease which tt gives to the Money market. As well ask, Would the establish- ment of a postal savings bank, as suggested by the Postmaster General, affect New York real estate ? ‘We answer, again, Most undoubtedly, if it prove a success—both New York and Brooklyn. Look at many long rows of handsome residences in both cities—whole blocks of brown stone fronts, Do you know how they were buiit? By money obtained from savings banks, which thus, seeking the highest security for their depositors, benefited them also in thus encouraging bullding enterpi ise, procuring & reduction of rents, and, in increasing the taxable ‘value of property, a lighter apportionment o1 taxa- tion, Change the present savings bank system, which, whatever flaws may exist init, is asound one in the main, for the postal system, and where will the accumulated savings go? Into government bonds not subject to taxation, and be thus with- drawn from usefulness as completely as if stowed away in an old stocking or in the vaults of a safe deposit company. Truly, GOVERNMENT ASKS TOO MUCH, and had better be reminded of its more legitimate duties. Letit attend more closely to that which is paramount—the preservation of the national honor; and the people themselves will find time and opportunity to save their pennies without its aid, But to return again to the subject of.the pay- ment of interest on bank deposits. As Congress will doubtless be moved to prohibit this practice by enactment, thus adding another to the many shackles they have placed around banking under the Nationa! Bank act, and as real estate owners have a direct interest in the result—as has been shown above—and have a right to be heard on this subject, itis worth while to examine on their behalf wherein the equity lies. First and most im- portant in this relation are the inquiries— WHAT CONSTITUTES BANKING ? What are its functions and what are its relations to ‘the community wherein it exists? And in seeking an answer to these queries it is but just and proper ‘that we should go to that country which was almost, il not positiveiy, the first to bring the system of banking within the government oi sound economic priaciples, but which has likewise by experience ‘vested and tried these principles until it is in a sition to speak authoritatively upon their value. at constitutes banking? Professor Bonany Price, of Mr. Bagehot’s, “Lombard street,” lays down the following in a recent number of Frasers Me :—Banking 18 an aitair of goods, of goods transferred, and not of coin, or cash or bills, ex- cept as machinery. Deposits are debts due for bor- rowed money by a banker, which be possesses in the form of debts due to him by parties to whom he has granted joans.” This he proceeds to iliu:- trate by an example for which is here substituted the following, as more nearly approximating to our ordinary iy transactions:. hus, and ©, doing business in dry goods, iron of petroleum, have made sales which have aggregated them: $15,000, which, Dot having any use for, they take to their several banks of deposit for sate keeping. This is one transaction, E, F and G are merchants having payments to make who have plenty of goods, but no ready cash, to meet such payments, They, or either of them, go to the banks of A, B and ©, and, offering a note of hand, payable in 30, 60 or 90 days, request a loan thereon, for which they are willing to pay interest in the shape of a discount. These ‘banks, supposing that A, B and C may not want ‘their money for a certain length of time, or, if they do, Olners of their depositors, I, J and K, wiil not want theirs, and they will still be in a position to meet A, B and ©’s demand, loan the funds of A, B and C to E, F and Gas above. So A, Band c, having made a@ profit out of their business transactions which leaves them a surplus of funds they are yd gan hg immediately to empioy, loan it to E, F and G, who have expended all their cash capital for the time in increasing their stock of cotton or grain, and need funds to meet their cur- rent expenses. In this case the dry goods, tron or petroleum of A, Band © furnishes the means of transportation or of meeting the expense of handling their cotton or grain to E, Fand G, the bank being an intermediary, whose reward or prot, is the interest which k, F and G pay it. BANKING PURE AND SIMPLE. No money need pass in the transaction. A, B and may have been paid by a check which they de- posited in the bank. E, F and G draw on the bank for the amount of their bills, which they are in- formed have been discounted, These checks meet at the Clearing House, where they are placed one against the other and the balance placed to the credit of the bapk to which it belongs. Meanwhile A, B and C have a credit at their bank for the full amount of their deposit, whicn the bank owes tnem, while E, F and G are debtors to their banks respectively ior 30, 60 or 9 days for the amount they have borrowed. + Just here comes the application. Have A, B and © any claim upon or right to share in the profit which the banks make by loaning their funds to b, Fand G? Or 1s theré any principle which would prevent the banks granting A, B and C a share in such profit to induce A, B and C to continue so to use them as their ageutin turning to profitable ac- count their temporarily unemployed junds? Surely it would seem as ti this were a matter that rightly belongs to the bank and its depositor as individual parties to a contract, to be regulated wholly by Inutual agreement, and is NOT WITHIN THE PROVINCE OF LEGISLATION. The restriction sought to be imposed upon banks, of not paying interest on deposits, 18 ol the same nature, in adiferent sense, as the Usury law. Only rawback to legitimate competition in trade and @ stimulus to illegitimate enterprise. ‘The subject of currency reform 18 also one which comes Within the province of a writer upon the condition of the real estate market at the present time, and the chances for the future to consider. it has been already shown under this head in the HERALD how unjust to the real estate interests of the country, taking those represented here as a sample, would be any effort at torced resumption ; any attempt to Lig about by legisiation an agreement between the present paper and the specie value of such descriptions of property. That such an effort or attempt must necessarily resuit in fatlure furnished no guarantee against its ini- tiation, The recent panic has, however, since intervened to prevent such a Cite experi. ment, that could only be attended with severe joss and ruin to many. The danger now ig not in the endeavor to test the soundness of Mr. Greeley's philosophic formula, ‘The only way to resume is to resuine,” but of inflation, Already TB WARNING NOTR has come from Washington of the purpose of Congressmen to seek to apply this panacea to ex. isting financial ills, The West and South, we are told, are a unit tor inflation, Are the West and South yet injants, we ask? Is the young giant sul in swaddling clothes, that he must be given sooth- ing by to a him quiet, or is his older sister not yet beyond the bread and butter age that she too must be placated with a cut from a fresh loat ? And must the government supply both to keep them quiet? A shame on such statésmanship! We are a nation of men, not of children, We are, too, | “united nation, hot a mere coniederation of sec- tions having separate interests, What the West and South want the North, too, wants, and so does the East, only in a less degree. And this is r seli-reliance, a larger appreciation of e value of seli-help, and a better understanding of the Sanape of pernevaaty seeking government wardship. if Congress will only coneern itself about the financial condition of the government, see that it is placed upon a gound foundation, pro- vide for the retirement of the present greenback legal tender circulation either by funding or other- wise, institute ree banking under stringent police regulation and supervision, with THE DISTRICY ATTORNEY IN THE PLACE BANK EXAMINER, and relegate to the people the prions of making their own issues of paper, with proper provision for their prompt redemption, then will it have done that which will most surely benefit the real estate as it will all other interests, Ali this is pred- icated, however, upon the assumption that sim- uitaneously with these reform measures in bank- ing and currency will be the inauguration of a movement looking to the resumption of specte payments by the government. It is very evident that our present legal tender note basis 18 a false one, tending to unreality.in all other values, The legal tender quality gives this issue @ fictitious currency status that does notof right belong to it, as were paper certificates of indebtedness on the part of the government. When all our paper issues stand only upon their simple vaiue as eyvi- dence of debt, and pass current only on the faith that such debt has its security of material value behind its paper representative, then shall we have reached a just estimation of where we stand in respect to what constitutes such material value. People whorepudiate any such change in our money system a8 18 here suggested, and in- quire, with what they suppose to be startling em- phasis, Shall we go back to tne old wild cat bank votes again ? simply beg the question, While to ch an inquiry is answered, no, this is not ary, we may still have a uniform currency of reul value properly secured, under a tree bankin system, it is also pertinent to point out the tac! that the much vaunted national bank currency did not save us from such a fallure, with its attendant distress, as the Northern Pacific Raliroad, or a shrinkage 1n values of over $200,000,000 in jess than two months on the Stock Exchange. We cannot too strongly impress upon real estate men how largely their interests are involved in these questions and the disposition Congress will make of them, It nas not been sought to be main- tained here what particular disposition would best subserve the real estate interest other than to point out, in a general way, the following FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES IN SOUND FINANCE :— First, that as coin only is money, it only ought to be the government currency; second, that as ail paper issues are only evidence of debt, the people are the best judges as 10 the necessity for, the ex- tent of, and the security required to ensure such issues current acceptance at their real value; third, that the function of government in respect to banking is that of Dad officer only :—viz., to see that the laws are faithfully obeyed and arrest evil doers; fourth, that with this interierence only and subject to tie authority of tue courts it is one of the privileges of the American peopie to be permitted to manage their own aftairs. n the application of these principles will be found the largest stimulus to legitimate enter- prise in all directions, in which real estate cannot fail to find its full share of advantage. If real estate men appreciate the force of these observa- tions or agree in the deductions here made they should not delay in bringing their influence to bear upon Congress, which is certain to make some dis- position of the important subject, whether wisely or notremains to be determined. The President candidly admits his inability to grasp the subject in his halting suggestion as to the propriety of the national banks being required to strengthen their gold reserve by the retention oi the goid paid them as interest upon bonds pledged as security for their circulation. “i have not reflected enough,” says the President, “on the bearing tis might have in producing @ scarcity of coin with which to pay duties on imports to give it my posi- tive recommendation, but your attention 1s invited to the subject.” Again, the President, in speaking of the currency, drawa attention to the coutraction it has sudered during the last four years, both directly, by the withdrawal of three per cent certificates and com- pound interest notes, and indirectly, from the growth of the country, in the same period, in population and industrial enterprise, The President, however, seems to over- look the corresponding inflation which the shrinkage of values during the past two months has produced, but adds, naively enough jor one in bis position, “These suggestions are thrown out jor your consideration, without any recommendation that they shall be adopted liter- ally, but hoping that the best method may Ve ar- rived at to secure such an elasticity o the cur- rency as will keep employed all the industries of the country and prevent such an inflation as will put off indefinitely the resumption of specie pay- ments, an Object so devoutly to be wished for by ali, and by none more earnestly than the class of people most directly interested, who earn their read by the sweat of their brow. The decisions of Congress on this subject will have the hearty support of the Executive.” With such an eas: shiiting of the iesponsibility as is here evidenced, such an incomplete understanding of the subject as is nere consessed, it is certainiy not out of place to warn those directly interested in the result that, if Congress be not properly mstructed, fresh dis- aster will assuredly walt upon its action. There were no auction sales of real estate yes- terday, the announcd sales being all adjourned to @ later date, A WHALING HELL, OF THE Horrors of the American Whaling Bark Mount Wallaston—Starving and Pounding an Entire Crew. [From the San Francisco Evening Journal, Nov. 24.] On Friday night the American whaling bark Mount Wallaston, Captain William Mitchell, cast anchor off North Point with 750 barrels of oil on board, the result of an 18 months’ cruise in the Arctic. One of the vrew, & man named George Brown, effected his escape from the bark in the boat of a runner and came ashore, and on Monday morning made complaint to the United States Dis- trict Attorney against the Captain, Frank Osborne, chief mate, and Charles Manuel, steward, charging them with no less than 45 or 50 distinct acts of hellisn cruelty. Warrants were issued for the ar- rest of the men, and an hour or two later the Cap- tain and mate were released on the ridiculous bail of $500 each. The steward, not having any one to bail him, had to go to jail. THR SAILORS. A Post reporter yesterday learned of the where- abouts of the sailor Brown, and interviewed him regarding the brutalities of the Mount Wallaston. He isan American, more than ordinarily intel- ligent, and he carefully kept a diary of all the brutal actions he witnessed on the ship, which he carries on his person. Harry W. Young, another of the crew, aiso managed to get away from the | ship and is stopping at the same house with Brown, ‘They state that tue Mount Wailasven leit New Bed- jord in July, 1872, with a crew ail told of 30, 19 of wuom were in the forecastle. Almost irom the time the vessel left port, the officers, particularly the captain and chief mate, began to abuse tne sailors, hig coupling their names with some vile epithet, and knoczing them down upon the shghtest pretext. Om Cape Horn the men were purposely kept upon a’ short allowance of food, nothing but hardtack and about an ounce of veel daily being served to the men, LOS? OVERBOARD, Brown says that one of the satiors, a green hand, named John Stokes, who knew little or nothing about a ship, was ordered on the 18th of August, by the fourth mate, to furitne jib, There was a heavy sea, and the man naturally hesitated. The fourth mate tireateningly approached him and said, “Get out there, God damn you, or I'!l make you.’ Stokes went out on tue footropes irembiing in every limb, and had just reached the jib when he fell overboard and was seen no more, It ts be- heved that Stokes was suruck by the ship’s prow aud rendered insensible. DIED FROM ILL TREATMENT, Another of the men who experienced some of the tortures of this floating hell Was Alexander Sterett, a New Yorker, calls the “galloping” consumption irom exposure to the inclement Arctic Weather, and notwithstand- ing that he was incapable of periorming any labor, Was kept on deck by Osborne, One morning Sterett was a littie later than usual in coming on deck. It was raining and blowing hara, and poor Sterett contracted whi Brown | at Brown | Cnect, if possible, a compromise with the employ. Sterett—who at tls time was in the last stages of | consumption—had to stand out in the pitiless storm during the entire watch, the mate threaten- ing to “knock heil’s blazes out o: him" if he was ever late on deck again. A few days after Sterett was found dead under the cabin table, KICKING A MAN ON THE YARD, Young states that the second mate upon,one oc- casion Kicked him while on the yara, anil came within an ace of dashing him to the deck, At another time he was on the yard-arm and let both reel-earrings go. He had been laid up three weeks prior with a wounded head, and was unable prop- erly to do the work, Whon he reached the deck Osborne seized him by the neck, choked and struck him several times, cutting his eye open and other- wise injuring him. Tne captain was present, aad Young asked him if he was going to allow the mate to abuse him. “Ifyou ask me such questions Wl knock your G—d d——n brains out,” said the cap: tain, Another are Young @ parting kick for is pains, It ® common thing for acts like these to occur every day, DISABLING SAILORS, Charles Reynolds was another of those on whom the tall force of the captain’s and mate's brutal natures fell. Reynolds was one time knocked down py the captain and ruptured so eu, with kicks a$ to lay him upneariy amonth, He was also frequently knocked down and kicked by the second and third mates without any cause or prov- Ocation whatever, Another of the crew (Manuel Konshatky) was seized by the mate as he was en- tering the forecastie, wao took two hitches of Tope around his neck, dragged him aft, tore of his lotning and flogged him with a ropo’s end until his back was one mass of scars. Joseph Stecle was ome re by Osborne in a tender part of ee ‘Was (loubtiul for a time waesper he Would survive, ich bi SHOOTING OFF A SAITOR'S ATM. Emil Bertiot, a German satlor, who was scarcely able to understand the English langua com plained to the captain of the food furnished by the s steward, Manuel, to the sailora. On the 20th of 4 in the Aretic Ocean, some time after Berto? had complained; he was sent aft to sweep the decks, Young was standing in the waist, and sud- denty beard a shot, and turning around, saw Manuel standing in the door of the galley with a shotgun in N18 hand, and Bertloff standing about four feet irom him, with the biood spurting from a gaping wound in the right arm, just below the shoulder. Manuel had, it seems, according to the Statements of the sailors, deliberately taken down the gun and discharged it full at Bertiom, for complaining to the captain. The wound was of such @ nature as to render amputation necessary immediately, which was done by several captains Of the whaling fleet. Manuel! claims that Bertloff tried to stab nim, and exhibited a cut on the back of his hand, which he claimed Bertioff infictea, but one of the crew states that he saw Manuel inilict the wound himself aiter he bad shot Bertiom. The wounded man is stil! on tue vessel, THE PORTUGUESE BOY. John Thomas, a Portuguese lad, about 16 years old, was shipped as a cabin boy at the Cape de Verde Islands. He tells a story of such a horrible nature that it cannot be even vaguely hinted at, and Young corroborates the main poinis of the boy's statement. Osborne conceived a vioient dislike to the boy, and never neglected opportunity to beat and abuse him, frequently knocking him down and kicking him in the jace and chest. He held out until it became unbearable, and then told the cap- tain that he was going into the jorecastie, This was on the 26th of September, The captain tollowed the lad, and just as he was about to enter the satlors’ quarters, Was seized by the throat, knocked down and outrageously beaten. THE AMERICAN CONSUL AT HONOLULU. When the vessel reached Honolulu Young made complaint to the American Consul’s deputy at that Place aguinst the captain and mates, but no no- tice was taken of the matter beyond that the dep- uty summoned the captain, and told him he must stop abusing the men. ‘The cases of Steele and Konshaiky were brought to the attention of the German Consul at that place, and he promptly se- cured their release. After the Mount Wallaston arrived here the en- tire crew demanded to be sent ashore, but Osborne, with a loaded revolver, drove the crew into the forecastie, and threatened to shoot the lrst one that attempted to come out, ADDITIONAL WARRANTS. The crew of the Mount Wallasvon, with the ex- ception of Bertioff and one or two others, came ashore yesterday and distributed themselves among the boarding-houses o1 tue city front, ‘This morning they calied in a body upon the United States District Attorney and asked that steps be taken to investigate their charges against the Officers of the stip. This afternoon warrants were issued for their arrest for their cruelty to the boy Thomas. ‘Phere was also 4 complaint made against Osvorne 0} meless charge.

In the densely populated districts y city the privations of the poor are terrible. committees of relief have instituted ere and there through their wards; ity only provides against death trom While many have died within the last eke irom exposure to theelements. Every night }t¥ station houses are full and many are cpway to sleep in tue streetaor any place reacan find. With this the existing state of atraif’ ‘Ms not to be wondered at that vice is on the iRCtase, as will be seen by reference to the police Court calendars. Beside the many soup honses started by private individuals on their own premises, the Commis- Sioners of Emigration have opened one at Castle Garden, where warm soup can be had at avy hour, day or night. It is not altogether a charit- able concern, lor, as Mr. Webster, the Superin- tendent, stated to a HERALD reporter yesterday, it is ag uch tor the comiort of the immigrants as for the destitute poor. It appears that the Com- missioners have granted permission to some one to put a sort of restaurant upin the rotunda for the purpose of supplying {mmigrants with a warm meal when they arrive and have the wherewithal to purchase.the same, No one elise can get any soup there unless upon an order trom the Superin- tendent, who gives orders to all who apply for them, This soup counter has been in operation for about three weeks, but the arrangement giving tothe poor is of more recent These tickets from the Superintendent Kept by the s#oupman, who returns them at the end of the week and gets an equivaient in cash at the rate of 10 cents per ticket, ‘Ten cents will purchase a pint bow! of soup and halt a loaf of bread. The applicants for soup amount to about 100 a day. Mr. Webster says that the Jast two days, owing to the terrible weather, the number of applicants for charity in- creased to a considerable extent, and he expects that, as the winter advances, unless the prospects of labor brighten, the number will steadily in- crease. Those who have no place to go are allowed to sleep in the garden until sunrise, when they are sent to look for work. As the islands and Almshouse are full of paupers and the Commissiovers of Charities and of Emigra- tion are unable to give any more room to the des- titute would tt not be a good ides for some chari- table society to start a soup house and hetp to re- lieve the wants of these uniortunate people? “THE PARASOL MAKERS. Meeting in Cooper Institute Yesterday= Aid for the Unemployed. The Parasol and Umbrella Makers’ Union assem- bled yesterday afternoon at room 24, Cooper Insti- tute. There are about 1,100 parasol and umbrelia makers in the city, half of whom are generally em- ployed at this season of the year. About 150 are on strike because the employers made, six weeks ago, & reduction of their wages amounting to from 30 to 40 per cent. Some of the girls and women declare that it would be impossible for them to live on the reduced wages, and “that they would rather starve at once.’ The average earnings ot the females employed are $7 a week, and they said that their hours were very long, and that they had to work exceedingly hard tor their money, The pay is mostly for ptece work, and while the em- ployers formerly paid 25 cents for each para- sol, they wili now only pay 15 cents, which constitutes an cnormonus difference. There is gen- erally very little doing at this tyme of the year, the season beginning usually in January. The employ- ers say that umbrellas and parasols have come down, and that they cannot afford to pay the old rices, The women employed by Heitter & Gaus, 0. 86 Leonard street, and by A. No. 508 Broadway, have all struck work, and stoutly declare that they will not return to work at the new rates. It takes two years to become a skiifal parasol maker, and the employers will probably experience ' considerable difficulty in replaciog the makers who are now on strike. Some of the firms have succeeded, however, in obtaining atew women who are willing to work at the new rates, and the contest between the em- ployers and the Union may be a long and bitter one. The meeting was to have been opened at halt past one, but, owing to the absence of Une regular President, Coroner Nelson W. Young, tt was not calied to order till three o’clock. Mrs. Gannon Jie it was resolved that the funds of the Jnion, which amount to $2,500, be used for the purpose Of aiding the women who were out of work, and that Miss Taylor, the Treasurer of the Union, be empowered to pay out the money on Saturday next, trom four to nine o'clock P. M., at her residence, No. 68 Morton street. The Presi- dent, Mrs. Gannon, stated that Mr. Heitter, of Heitter & Gans, of No, 86 Leonard street, was at the bottom o/ all this trouble ; that he had gone to ali the employers, asking them to adopt the new “starva- tion” rates,’’ and on one occasion he said to one of his girls, “You will be glad to come back to work when you are starved out.” Anew list of prices will be adopted by the giris, in order to ers. This list of prices Will be suomitted to te Union at their next meeting, on Monday night. DISTRESS AMONG JERSEY CITY LABORERS Why Do the Erie Railway Company Not Pay Their Employees? Nothing but the outpouring of charity from the coffers of those in comfortable circumstances can save the hundreds of families now destitute In Jer- sey City from utter starvation. Nearly all the churches have raised relief tunds, and in some of the Catholic parishes sewing societies are estab- lished to meet the case of female operatives. The factories, with few exceptions, are being worked on halt time, and halt wages to poor laborers, As everybody knows, is barely sufficient to keep body and soul together, Hundreds of laborers from the Heights come down day to the city proper in search of employment. One of these summed up the situation in his district very briefly yesterday :—**Iere 18 nothing doing on the hill tor @ laboring man except the work on the new rai!- road tunnei.”” The Overseer of the Poor reports that his office is crowded at all hours of the day, and the County Aimshouse at Snake Hill is flied with tnmates, Meanwhile a cry goes up from the men in the employment of the Erie Railway Company that their families are in want of bread, and the com- pany seem to forget this. All the employés, trom the depot to Paterson, with few exceptions, have been denied their pay for the month of October, so that they are now entitled to two montis’ pay. Some of che engineers were paid last Saturday tor the month of October. Three years ago the men were treated in @ similar way, and wien atten- tion Ww lied to whe fact in the HeRALD the late Mr. Fisk investigated the case aud discharged two of the prominent officials who were cuipable. Every laborer who was interviewed during the past week declared that the bosses on the Erie at the present time, with one or two ex- ceptions, care very little for the interest of their employés.

Measures to Prevent # Riot—An Eleetion Contest. Paterson, N. J., Deo. 3, 1873. Adam Carr, the republican candidate for State Senator from Passaic county at the late election, to-day served upon John Hopper, the successful candidate, a notice of contest, on the groand of in- formality and fraud in several election districts.

A few days ago, to aid it, the managers of the Industrial Exhibition placed at tts disposition their place free of charge for a@ whole day an night. A grand con- cert was arranged, the free list entirely suspended, and the expectation indulged that a handsome sum would be realized, Instead of this, gad to relate, there was so little realized that when the bills are all paid the society will actually be out of pocket a considerable sum.

Pursuant to the action of a public meeting, an executive committee of citizens for the relief of the indigent was organized last evening, with J. W. Foote, President; 5, S. Moore, Secretary, and James Darrach, Almoner. Its object is to seek out unemployed mechanics, and relieve others than the usual mendicaut classes. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY, Excavations in Cyprus. [From the London Globe, Nov. 18.] Lovers of ancient art will rejoice at the discovery just made in Cyprus, Held in succession by the Egyptian, the Persian, the Greek and the Roman, it is not wonderful that traces of their occupation should occasionally occur in the island, And Cpprus has furnished the archwologist with @& goodly stock of materials, The latest addition promises to be of exceptional interest. At Palaa Lemessos, the accepted site of the ancient Ama- thus, on the southern coast, and six miles distant trom Limasol, men have for some time past been engaged 1n digging stones for Port Safd, on the opposite coast of the Mediterranean, Suddenly they unearthed a colossai statue, in calcareous stone, of Hercules holding a lion before hum by the hind paw. ‘he statue is perfect down to the kuees, but the legs are wanting. It measures in its present shape nine feet in length, Tue limbs are thick set und heavy, and the whole is said to be of very archaic workmanship, This is the only iniormation we have for an opinion on the age and origin of the statue. Amathus was one of the oldest towns in Cyprus, and was colonised at an early period by the Phoenicians, who first intro- duced the worship of Hercules under the name of “Meikarv’? or ‘Malika.’ The work is, however, probably early Greek. Whether we shall have the Ineans Of judging for ourselves is doubtiul. The discovery was made in a plot of private land belonging to the British Vice-Vonsul at Limasol, near Pietro Lofso. That functionary was quickly on the spot, settled about the price with the laborers, and thus became sole proprietor of the Museum. Then his difficulties began. The Gover- nor of Oyprus interfered, claiming the huge relic of antiquity for the Imperial Museum of Con- stautinople. The dispute has not yet terminated, and will in ail likelinood be shifted to Stamboul , lor settlement. Meanwhile the stacue, guarded by “gaptiehs,” remains on the spot where it was found. Without, in the present state of our knowl- edge, insisting too much on the value of the find, we think the circumstances of the discovery are such as to warrant Sir Henry Elliott tn using his influence for the transportation ot the new Her- cules to the British Museum.
