Aevada Democrat.
AsrounpinG Discovery IN Fraxce.—The
following sounds very much like the stories
of the Arabian Nights, but as it comes from
a respectable source, we give it for what it
is worth:
It has been a great mystery to English
bankers and to the Directors of the Bank of
England, bow the ballion of the Bank of
France eould be eo greatly iucreased within the last three years, while the institution
bas been constantly sending gold to Eagland, to Germany, and to America. Not
long since the Bank of France drew some
15,000,000f. in silver from the Bank of Eugland, which it paid for in gold bars with the
Freoch mint stamp on them. At its last
report it showed a balance of 117,000,000f.
in gold, while the amount one year ago was
under 80,000,000f.—nearly one-third increase. It is whispered that this abundance
ery, which the Emperor Napoleon has secured the monopoly of. Gold is at the present moment manufactured at Paris ina
secret manner. The priocipal articles used
are not lead and arsenic, and though it is
pot known how extensively the precious
metal is produced, yet several hundred
weight of the material are taken to a certain place on the first of each month. Everything is conducted with the utmost secresy. None of the workmen are allowed
to leave, and nothing definitecan be known;
cut the fact that gold is produced is beyond
peradventure. How long Napoleou III,
will be able to keep this wonderful secret
remains to be seen.—[Banker’s Reporter,
RvssELL AND THE Inisu.— Ben, Perley .
Poore writes to the Boston Journal from
Washington as follows :
Dr. Russell has evidently become disgueted with the good people of the United
States, who will express their disapprobation of his sweeping style of Crimean critieism, and he no longer exbibits himself on
the avenues, The corps of correspondents,
with a few exceptions, bave never paid
homage to the portly Milesian representative of “The Thunderer,’”? aud they have
been somewhat disgusted to find him passed .
and re-passed through the camps—dined
the lines,
The men of the Irish regiments are said
to be very much incensed against their
countryman, who has so thorougly indentified himself with the English dynasty now
ruling the Emerald Isle. and they threaten
to toss him ina blanket should he come
near their camps. Brave fellows are these
Irishmen, throwing up intrenchments, fore: .
most on picket duty, devout at mass, and .
wearing the green of their fatberland, tho’
they swear by the red, white and blue of
their adopted home.
“They will rear that banner high
As the stars are in the sky,
And their enemies shall fily—

IMporTING Grain TO Enguanp.—A San
Francisco paper gives the condensed result
of the importations of grain into England,
during the first balf of the present year as
compared with the first half of the prece.
ding year, from different foreign countries,
Theaggregate value of the grain importations of the first balf of the present year
is estimated at one hundred and five million
dollars, against forty-seven million in 1860,
represent wheat and flour, importations of
which in the same period of 1860 were below
fifteen millions. In 1859 France sent the
chief supplies, and contributed about as
much as Russia, Prussia and the United
quantity from the latter being less even
than in 1860.

NUMBER 539
Our National Finances as Affected by
the War
The working and prorpect of our war indebtedness, in its bearings upon business,
are well stated in the circular of Messrs,
Hallett & Co,, of Boston, prepared for the
outgoing foreign steamer which left New
York about a month since. The circular
tays, and its testimony is unquestionably
accurate :
So fur, all fears of a stringency, or of the
inability of the country to sustain the burden, have proved utterly groundless, The
only question now raised is whether we can
infer the future from the past, and whether
we can prosecute the war ad libitum, to use
the phrase, or till we increase our national
debt to $500,000,000 or $1,000,000,000 without interfering injuriously with the industries of our people, or with their commerce
and trade,
Without extending our inquiries as to the
ultimate consequences of the creation of a
large national debt for military purposes,
there is no doubt tbat this debt, represented by the bonds and promissory notes of
government, has an effect similar to the addition of capital equal to their nominal va!ne, either suddenly created or imported
from abroad. The government securities
are capital to the person holding them, as
much as gold or silver. They pay his debts
or may be the basis of any business enterprise. The creation of this debt only keeps
pace with the sales made by the people to
the government of food, clothing, munitions
of war, and the time of the soldiers.
It is to be issued, consequently, mainly
against the future earnings of the eountry,
and not against its past accumulation,
Should the government advertise for tenders
for the delivery of such articles, aud of personal service, there is no doubt that the
offers would exceed five times the whole
present wants of the government, or $500,000,000 instead of 100,000,900, this illustration states the case. So long, therefore,
as our industries are unembarrassed, the
debt created isa stimulus to them rather
than a burden, There seems to be no cause
of apprehension that their freedom will be
interfered with. Exchanges are so decideedly in favor that the influx of specie must
continue,
Tbe expenditures are all among ourselves,
and the money returos by natural attraction to the great centers. Notwithstanding
the amounts already paid by the banks,
they are as able to lend to their customers
absorb or exhaust capital to an injurious
extent, the expenditures going on have already given a very decided impulse to our
manufacturing industries and to trade—
Everywhere are cetablishments being put
in motion, while trade of all kinds is resuming something like itewonted voluame Our
. people have pretty well got over the shock
cansed by the outbreak of the rebellion,
which of course for a time arrested nearly
. every business movement,
But the great interest of the country,
agriculture, was never more prosperous,—
The farmer was never better able to buy,
and with the existence of all the means for
an active trade, it cannot long remaio in
abeyance.
The apprebension now expressed by our
more conservative bankers is not on account of a stagnation from scarcity of capital, but of an injurious expansion of the
. currency, with its usual accompaniments,
speculation and over-trading. Such fear
we believe to be, for the present, at least
without sufficient foundation,
A Reuic Founp In tue SEA.—A_ corres. pondent of the London Times writes from
Scarborough, England :
A highly interesting relic of by gone days
was recently fished up in the trawling net of
the smack Vigilant, of Hall, near the Goodwin sand, It consists of a large Roman
vase of remarkably strong earthenware, two
. feet six inches in height, and five feet nine
inchesin circumference, having two bandles
. and a round bottom ; it has evidently been
intended when used to beslung. When first
brought up it presented an extraordinary
spectacle, being completely covered with
sea weed, oyster and mussel shells, together
with a deep and very beautiful coating of
coralines. Unlike the vase fisbed up by the
fieherman in the Arabian Nights, it was not
corked or sealed with the geal of Solomon,
nor yet did any genii emerge from it; but
may it not from its capacity, holding sixteen gallons, and the place where it was
found, have been used to hold a supply of
water for one of the galleys of the Roman
squadron before the birth of Christ!
