Was Daily Press.
The Colony's Currency, As our readers are probably aware, it is the practice of the troops of the Garrison to make regular remittances to their people at home through the Post Office: since the bank note became negotiable at a premium in Hong- kong we understand that it has become a common practice smong the Indian troops to draw their pay in bank-notes and forthwith convert them at the pearest money changer's into silver dollars wherewith to buy their money orders at the Post Office. By this little financial operation the sepoy made a profit cf 10 per cent, ot the expense of the Government: Still, the action of the Post Office in refusing any longer to accept silver dollars is, we should think, of doubtful validity. It is true that the Banks also refuse to accept more than nine silver dollars at any one time from customers paying money into their accounts; but this does not warrant a Government revenue department in refusing to accapt the legal tender of the Colony. The whole situation is almost en inoredible as it is unsatisfactory, and it is high time that some alepa were taken by the Govern mert to put the currency of the Calony on a more satisfactory and a more stable basis.""
