The circumstances connected with the advance of the different cities and sections of the country are so peculiar, and in some respects, distinct, that an account of these circumstances must be regarded with great interest by those who are far removed from their operation. The city of New Orleans should be a matter of national pride, as it is the offspring of our free institutions, standing as it does at the outlet of that giant stream, the Mississippi, which waters the richest valley upon the earth for thousands of miles, and must be in coming time, as it now is, the grand channel of western commerce.

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS BY BANKS IN 1839. On the 9th of October, 1839, the United States Bank of Pennsylvania commenced a suspension of specie payments; and in this it was soon followed by most of the banks south and west of the state of New York, and also by those of Rhode Island. The following table, which is extracted from a letter of the Secretary of the Treasu ry of the United States, dated January 8, 1840, contains a statement of the number of banks in the several states, the number that suspended, the number that had not sus. pended, &c., so far as had been ascertained. PARIS SAVINGS BANKS.-The deposits in the Paris savings banks on the 20th and 21st September, amounted to 412,652f., and the sums withdrawn to 1,178,000f. The amount withdrawn consequently exceeded the amount deposited by 765,000f. INCREASE OF BANKING IN THE UNITED STATES.
