Tbe inquiry for money is flot - quite so active as
quoted a week ago, bnt yet (he rates are higher
than is usual atthis season of the year. There is
i supply of prime paper, which is taken at 8
ir cent. Paper well known is taken at 9@10,
second class bills are passed with difficulty
at 13 to 16 set cast. We infer from tbe weekly
Bank Beport, that about four millions of dollars in
deposits have been withdrawn from investment.
The banks have added nearly a million of their
loans, making tbe aggregate larger than any for-
mer-period | and eight millions in excess of- the
amoant reported for the first week in July, 1866.
We are gratified to perceive that tbat very in-
fluential paper, the New Orleans Creole, haa hauled
down the American ticket. It will do us more good
by opposing us, than it possibly could by advocat-
ing our canse. To say nothing of; Brother Har-
mon's trip to North Louisiana in 1864, and the
odium he brought upon onr party by representing
Judge Merrick to be a Democrat, we confess we
never liked the idea of a blue-bellied Yankee tak
ing the name of Creole. Brother Hahnon, you
have our thanks for ceasing to oppose us by ad-
vocating our cause, and il you «ill drop, the as-
swntd name of "Creole," and take a genuine Yan-
kee name, you will be entitled to the everlasting

Kansas.—The Kichmond (Va.) Enquirer in the

argue that the admission of Kansas as a free State is
an inevitable result, and one with which the South
ought to be satisfied.

this day has been reoeived (as -I think from a reli-

of a speedy settlement of all the points at issue be
tween our government and that of New Granada.
Nathan Kartright, Esq., British Consul a1
Carthagena, has written to Captain Erskine, ot
Her Britann'o Majesty's ship Orion, now at this
anohorage, as follows : .
, British Consulate,
Carthageana, June 20,1857.
Mr. Griffith writes me that instructions have
been sent to the New Granadian Minister at Wash
ipgtop to cede averytbipg to the Americans, and
a decree to the Governors of the littoral provinces to
oommunicate that fact to any Bhips of war which
might be sent out from America to the shores of
New Granada with hostile intentions.
The acting United States Consul "at Aspinwall
(Mr. A. Murell) also writes me, in confirmation of
tbe above as follows :
The differences between the United States and
the republic are likely to be Boon,and amioably ar-
, as ths Executive has been, it is said, au-
thorized by Congress to settle them at once, and on
the best possible teams lustrations will proba-
bly,be transmitted by the present mail to Gen. Her-
ran on the subject.
I am indebted, sir, to the oourtesy of Cáptala.
Erskine, of the British navy, for the extraot .from
Consul Kartright's letter, furnishing tbe first infor-
mation ot this important determination on tbe part
of the Granadian government; and aa Mr. Griffith,
from whom Mr. Kartright derived his information,
is the British Charge d' Affaires at Bogota, there
y or his i
can be scaroely a doubt of the accuracy of his state-
ment Captain Erskine assures me that it may be
entirely relied npop. Should official notice of the
faot be received by me in time for tbeensding mail
it will be dnly transmitted.
I have tbe honor to be, sir,
