I'd, 1S.Y7. Youi letter of the 4th instant lias been received. I am thankful to my friends f?.i their friendly recommendations; and i!, I possibly can be of service to you as correspondent, 1 urn entirely at your service. Pjrmit ine then to utakc my bow to yoni readers, by way of a short initiatory letter 'There is. perhaps, no lack of news here that would interest your readers, if 1 only was sufficiently acquainted with their tastes, to be able to cull that which will be appropriate. In course of tin e, and after carefully looking over each number of lite Led gcr, I make no doubt, I sliall know more of your people than 1 now do; and will Inable to eater successfully to the general taste. Just now we have here some political excitement, though not as much as we have had in times gone by. Indeed there is scarcely a time in Gotham when there i? no excitement savoring of politics. We have, well founded hopes, wo think, of carrying the Ktate this election for the good old Democracy. Knownolhingistn and black Republicanism, I sincerely hope, are dead. They fattened for a while on corruption aud fanaticism. I cannot believe there is corruption enough in the Northern people to-sustain even the fragment of a party and fanaticism must give way before the light of reason and facts. We are stronger now, and our enemies are weaker than heretofore. The democrucy is again happily united ; and though I am neither a prophet nor me son 01 a pnopnet ; I am nl?lu, 1 think, In foresee the down fail of the enemies of equal rights ar.d tltc constitution, tied the triumph of the true, democratic |>rinei]>les. So mote it be. In lite city we have the usual amount of /- rime. New York lias a bad name abroad; but .we -do not think we get justice Crime is too abundant in all parts of the country, but that it is more so here than in other places (ceteris paribus) I have city pride enough stoutly to deny. And the facts gleaned from the statistical figures w ill bear me oat in the denial. I .see 3 011 have some times, crime committed in your own State. Is the population of your State equal to that of the city of New York / Look at | the figures. This city lias a population about equal to your State?I mean the city proper, hut if we take into consideration the suburbs, a population muih larger. Thus make an allowance for the crowding together of so many people in one city of every possible hue ; and a daily influx of people from all nations and they too of high and low degree in morals; take into considera- j lion-that street municipal laws and officer* | drag to light all offenders, while in your i more rural country the law can afford to pass by, unnoticed, many offences, and yet I be just; and you will find that the balance against us is not ?o great, as it appeared A' our first, casual glance. Nevertheless, Gotham is bad enough, and loo had too. The United Democratic General Commit j tee have called a meeting at Tatnmanv Hall j this evening, for the purpose of ratifying I the nomination of the Democratic State ! Convention. If its notion be worthy of note I will before closing this insert it by I way of i\ S.

'i'he piun in that a sufficient fund shall he raised ,by a subscription of one dollar from every woman in the couuLry besides any sums that may be donated by the generous and lovers of high and noble deeds' When death was apparent as the fate of all on board that ill-fated Ship, it required firm- j ness to command and keep in obedience I that great mass of human beings about to ! be launched into eternity ; and moral heroism, to resist the temptation to preserve himself. Yet all this Capt. licrndon did mid saved the lives of the women and children on board. It wns a noble net ; and well does this proposition to relieve his family come from the women ; for he, to aave them, sacrlfced hin st If The cause is wooiihR c?dm : what do they any in your quarter ? Business in New York is in a moat wretched condition ; and when we may expect better timea is beyond the power of the ino-a *>, knowing to predict. Our merchants and Banks cant agree.

The Banks of Soath Carolina?General Suspension advised. By the first mail received here after our last issue, came the astounding intelligence that lhe.Bank of tlie State of South Carolina, at Charleston, had, on Saturday 10th inst.. declaied its inability to continue.further specie payments. That this Hank,with ' the largest capital of any, was the first to 1 j suspend naturally excited surprise; but when t it is considered that it has been more liberal ! in its accommodations than i!u others and, j in consequence,has more hills in circulation and discounting upon longer time than the j olhcis was thereby prevented from gather- j I ing it> hills as fast, this seeming weakness upon the part of the Bunk rjf the Slate is accounted "for How far the other Banks may have precipitated the act of suspension npoti the part of the Bank of 11 to State j?placing ihi* imfilntii 11 in the Jorcgrqurnl I of llitirntr'i ijfeinling ? weenn. tor Hie pros , ent. only surmise. The hills ot this Hank were rcfusct. by somu of the company Hanks,.oa the day before, and this it was IDat e\eip;i1 the apprehension ill bill holders, indueing the furious panic and run upon it, and which resulted in its suspension. We had been assured by the press of Charles Ion that the Hanks there, were acting liarnmninuslv? by conference and in concert l with each other, but now the converse is I shown to he true anil each, actuated by sell' j alone, is working in a way to precipitate the destruction of the other. I - It will be seen by an article front the j Charleston Standard, on our.lirst page, that j the Hank of the State was not red need to ' the last e.vtivinily ivbetl il .suspended, and : iiiieht, prob.iblv, have weathered the storm I r | at gieat saeitfiees ; at.d we w ish sincerely I ?Ibr tlm liotu r < f the State, not less than i it r ilit' go. ti ?ii the pcoph?tiinv.it had continued i? it (it vm u.- bill.'* tiri.il the hist dub | . i j iar hiul been paid t ut arid the lust uvaila. j ! tile assets hud been rcdneed t-? coin, if mieli | ' n length had beetl required (if it.

After the suspension of the Bank of the I State, the run upon the other Banks in t liarleston was of course increased, and on Monday following, both the South Western Railroad Bank mid the Batik of South Car- { olitut suspended, and on Tuesday 14ih, the Couples Bank followed suit.
