There will bo a break down scon that will throw the great "Mississippi bubble in the shade. The banks of Now York have a capital (total 54 banks in the city) of $69,49377. They have loaned the Government $72,500,000. Thus you will see tho New York jbanksj have loaned . the Government $3,000,423 moro than their capital.
