BennetiV-i Herald |iub|j>hes a labie of loans, specie and cir

 years lt';iT, If:if*, and 1^.19; by which he shi.wa ihccaiipesnf 

 tlie great derangen.enl \\hicht(ink place in the year 1837. 

 The loans iii the niiddle Stales decreased in that year about 

 Twenty-seven iniUions or Id per rent, nf the whole ainniinl: 

 the loaiK in tlie sitiiihwesern Scales increased abmit eiElit

 circniaiion, the sn',ithwc=tern Stales have in reased ilieirs 

 nearly thirty niilMonsoI dollars, wbtle (heir circulation ha.^ 

 decreased tive milliong. In the middle States the loans have 

 been increased seven inillioni! and the circulation seventeen 

 mUlioiis. l:i llie Soutlnvesiera Slates the dctrea-se of circu- 

 lation has been ow ing to th"* L--in<iant return of their bank 

 note", anil this has at length driven some of them to sns- 

 p;nd payments ; il:e debt nl tli at country to the Nor tli and to 

 Ibrei^n countries is immen.'-e. The niiddle States can hear 

 the;r incn-ase of Inans at present because tiie activity of 

 biHiness enableis tlieni to keep up an extensive circniaiion.
