In yesterday’s paper we published the resolu
tions of Col. Howard and Mr. Alexander on the
Subject of the currency, and summed up the main
positions occupied by oath. Our readers are al
ready aware that on some of the points touched
■•upon In each of these resolutions, we differ with
•both the gentlemen who introduced them. The
best reflections which we hiive been enabled to give
this intricate and complex question, have led our
mind to the decision that the safest and best plan,
■* ketk for the-people and the Government, of
managing the financial affairs of the Union, and
preserving a National currency, is through the
agency of a National Bank, “which” in the lan
guage of Air. Calhoun, in 1894, “ in some shape
or form and under some authority seems indisptn
sihle.” In coming to that conclusion, we have
been influenced by no hope of reward, no pros
pect of personal promotion or pecuniary benefit;
for it brings us into collision of opinion with
many of our best personal friends, and a large
portion of the State Rights’ parly, under whose
banner we have struggled through evil as well
as good report, “in .weal and in woe,” if no.
with equal ability, at least with a zeal as unabated,
a devotion as uncompromising, and a firmness as
unflinching, as any man over whom that flag ever
waved its proud and spotless folds. AVc have
been wi/h that party and of that party, when
overwhelming defeat seemed to consign it to per
petual inferiority, and wc forsook it not. We
have toiled with it in.the conflict, step by step
anjjl through struggle after struggle, until the sky
oT its triumph is unobscured by a single cloud,
and we arc with it still Victory and defeat
have alike brought to us no rewards for the past.
we expert none, wc desire none for the future.
Should that party: in the Union, w ith whom we
agree upon the currency questions ever rise to
power, we have nothing to hope or expect from
its hands—we cannot hope or expect that in the
distribution of the “ spoils,” the light of the palace
would ever shine upon the humble station we
occupy. Following then, no sinister views in
coming to the conclusion at which we have long
since arrived, that a National Bank is trot only
constitutional, but highly necessary and expedient,
to further the best interests of the people of every
section of the Union, and influenced alone by the (
of our judgment as formed from the ex- j
jSSWMgx of the part, while wc shall independent- I

a singular and very unsettled state of
public opinion upon the question. Each mem
ber seems to have his own peculiar notions —his
own peculiar and favorite project, and scarcely
any two agree upon some main and material
points. The issue of Treasury notes is the
“ Philosopher’s stone” of Col. Howard’s plan,
while it is denounced in the most unmeasured
language by Mr. Alexander. Col. H. is in favor
of receiving the hills of specie paying hanks,
while Mr. A. is silent upon that point, as if afraid
lo touch it. They all agree upon the question of
dispensing with the agency of a Bank or Banks
in the collection, keeping and disbursement of
the public funds, hut disagree among themselves
as to i chat should I>c done. In this Babel con
fusion of opinions among the friends of “deliver
mice and liberty,” we think wc see the unerring
indication of a return to a sound and healthy
state of public sentiment, and a return to the
will-tried system of a National Bank as the de.
jrository nf ibo -public funds, and to give us a
National currency worthy of our country and its
institutions. The people w ill soon become tired
of this multiplicity of tinkering projects, which
promise neither more safety for the public reve
nues, nor a better currency for the country. The
,Sub-Trcasufry has now been under discussion for
about eighteen months, and its friends cannot
define what arc to be its prominent features and
characteristics. It is yet a political nondescript,
; and wc think likely to remain so. Alorc anon.
Legislative Proceedings.
The proceedings of our Legislature come to us
through the Millcdgeville papers in such shape as
renders it almost impossible to give our readers a
correct idea of what is done or doing. The last
Southern Recorder, for instance, contains four
closely printed columns of “bills introduced,”
“bills read tire first time,” “bills passed,” and
“hills lost,” being in many instances a repetition
.of the same things over for both Houses. .Now
it is out of the question for us to publish aH this
as wo find it, and therefore give the following brief
statement of what has been done.
Bills passed by both Houses.
To compensate persons who took the census.

: Arrival of the Liverpool.
5 Ten Days Later from Europe.
! It ir with no ordinary pleasure that we announce
r the arrival of the steam ship Liverpool, Capt. Fay
, rcr, from Liverpool, last from Cork.
, The Liverpool look Iter departure on the 20th,
but after making 950 miles, against.extremely
rough weather and high seas, sustaining, howev
er, little damages, she put hack on the 2Cth, on
account of the great consumption of coal, which
created what apjiears to have been a just appre
, hension that her stock might fail her if her voy
agb was then continued.—The engines,'• it would
seem, had not been sufficiently tried before start
• iug. The result was that she put into Cork on
tire eighth day.
There she remained a week, taking in full sup-’
plies, and started again on Tuesday, the 6th hist.
She arrived ofi'Fire Island yesterday afternoon,
at 2 o’clock, where she remained for several hours,
. in consequence of the fog. - She reached this city
at 9 o’clock this morning, and amhored in the
East river, a little above the wharf appropriated
for the use of tbs Great Western.
As soon as it was afaiidtlfiCed that th?" Live
rpool wascotning up the river, hundreds wore to be
seen wending their way to the wharves, and we
doubt whether more people were assembled on the
occasion of the arrival ol the Great Western. The
docks, with the vessels lying at them, in the neigh
borhood of Pike and Rutgers streets, were crowd
ed this morning with those who were anxious to
obtain a sight of this noble steamer.
In external appearance the Liverpool docs not
differ much from the Great Western, with the ex
ception that she has two smoke pipes, that her
sides are not relieved by. the white streak of the
latter, and that she has only three masts. We
took a hasty view ofher cabin this morning, and
have only time to say that it is very neatly furnish
ed.

The Western Luminary says that the rumors j
of divisions in the cabinet were true. That Lord |
Glcnelg resigned, and his resignation was accept- !
cd ; that I.ord Spencer and the Duke of Rich- I
raond were successively offered the Colonial sec- i
retary’s portfolio, but both declined it ; and that
as yet no successor to Lord Glenelg had been j
found.
The London Morning Herald contradicts the
report that the Queen had written an autograph
letter requesting Lord Durham to remain in Can- j
ada. It says there was no foundation whatever
for the report.
It has been ascertained that the steamboat
‘Northern Yacht is lost. She was seen to sink,

A terrible explosion had taken place in a coal
pit at Lowca, near Whitehaven, by which forty
of the workmen were killed. Two men and two
boys were blown out of the mouth of the pit, like 1
bullets from a gun. Three of them were not
killed, although severely wounded, but the fourth ’
fell hack again down the shaft, and was dashed to
pieces.—Thirty four of the men, who were at
the bottom, were found crushed together in a 1
mass, horribly disfigured. ;

when the wind increased to a furious gale, which
at 2 o'clock in the morning became a hurricane, ]
and raged for four hours with dreadful fury.
Great numbers of chimnios were Mown down— ,
the leaden coverings of roofs were stripped oil* and
rolled up like paper—some roofs gave way under ,
the weight of chiinnies falling on them—and in
the outskirts of the city many small tenements
were prostrated. ‘Groat numbers of trees were
torn up by the roots, and Hyde Park was com- ,
plctely strewed with limbs and branches.
On the Great Western rail-way four of the cars ,
were driven along the road by tSie force of the
wind, two of which did not stop until they had
traversed 25 miles.
Among the trees Mown down in the storm was

London Citt, Nov. 3.—There has been
rather more activity in the British stock maikrt
since our last, and money stock has been in more
request, while the commissioners for the savings
banks continue their daily purchases; these com
bined circumstances have therefore given m*re
tone to the funds, and in most instances the nota
tions have slightly improved.
Money continues tolerably easy, and, although
the much increased advance in the price of wheat
hcie will most probably cause foreign wheats and
other grain to be imported to some considerable
extent at a reduced scale of duty, and thus indi
rectly turn the exchanges upon the continent
against this country, the continued importation of
bullion from the United States \yill, to a consid
erable degree, countervail these operations; for
wc find that the Wellington and Washington
have brought to this country about $260,000 in
specie, chiefly in gold, whilst the Emerald, for
Havre has brought $200,000.

The Liverpool Steamer.
This vessel still remains at Cove. After her
arrival on Monday, an express was despatched to
the agent. From the violence of the weather,
her paddle-boxes received same injury, and a boat,
her jibboom, and her bulwarks were carried away.
The damage, however, was trilling, and was speedi
ly repaired. She had been Out 16 days, and had
consumed, we understand, little less than 400
tons of coal. As site had but about 170 tons re
maining, there was no alternative but to turn back
and run for Cove. This she did on the 27th.
She was then in long. 21 deg. 50 min., and lat.
46 deg. The unusual quantity of fuel consumed
is attributable, wc believe, to the improved prin
ciple on which her machinery is constructed, and
to the high degree of pressure ov which it was
requisite to keep the steam iu order to enable her
to make head against the violence of, wc may
say, thfi storm, with which she had to contend
during the whole ofher progress (about 000 miles)
to the Westward.
Escape Dodge from Quebec.
The escape of the Canadian “Patriots,” Theller
and Dodge fro iff the impregnable fortress ol Que
bec, and subsequently from the hot pursuit which
was kept up after them, has excited the wonder oi
alt who are acquainted with the strength of the
fortress in question. Both of them arc now in
the city of New York, an! the former has pub
lished in Mackenzie's Gazette the following ac
count of the manner in which the escape was ef
fected :
We arrived in Quebec on Sunday the tenth of
June, an 1 w *re received at the wharf by a strong
guard of the Ist rerrimeut of Grenadier Guards,
Tier Majesty’s II iiisehald Troops, and escorted by
them to the citadel, amid the groans and hisses
and execrations of a Tory mob. prepared fir the
occasion *, spat upon, reviled and tormented by
them in every wav their ingenuity rapid invent,
they followed us all the way, until the gates of
t the us out from them —from their abus e
|of us and of our country. We were confined i
\ ame ofMixe Lamb -proof,- coseiguted rooms, that
• served as the prison lor the military prisoners. It
wss furnished as “sm ordinary prison. ln>u bed
steads, iron staples, on which was placed boards
for a table and tile ordinary benches—it was about
twelve Jfeif broad and fifty feeL deep—two windows
ill the front, strongly barrtd with non—and in the
back part 'were small loopholes Tor musketry—both
i front and hi the rear wefe placed fences
of twelve feet high-, inside of which was stationed
a seutiarf who coaid watch all dur inotiens.
Another sentinel wasplaced the fence,
two others were plilceddd.the one on the
Mfp&i Ojf for off*
|K*‘der. ? We Lad some trouble at first orcT some
I Utile hardship respecting provision*, but Owing
to the industry' and zeal oflifce Town Major Fraser,
and the representations of this good hearted old
man, wa were very liberally supplied, viz:—wc
had no complaints to make. yVe lived in daily
expectations of hearing something respecting our.
fate, but when two months had passed and nothing
had taken place, we began lo look around to see
what could be done in the way of making our es
cape. Many were the plans proposed, but at last
it was decided that the most .dangerous one of es
caping by the front window and climbing the
fence in the presence of one sentinel and in the
view of th<i other, was the most probable way and
one that would be attended with more likelihood
of succcs*';. besides the very * boldness of the
measure would prevent suspicion ever entering
the mind ofgthc guard. It was then resolved, that
we would try and procure some implements to
cut one of the bars of the window, and taking
advantage of the first dark and stormy night when
the sentinels at -our doors as well as those on the
different other parts which we must unavoidably
pass, were by the rain obliged to keep in their
boxes, we would venture out, get to the walls and
try our fortune in getting oyer them.
Wew alkod out each day for half an hour, three
at a time, guarded by six soldiers with fixed bay
onets, and as we generally stopped for sometime
on the saluting batteries, we saw occasionally a
friend, so one of whom was slipped a paper "ex
plaining our plan, and begging his co-operation,
by supplying us with fools, and in directing a
place where they might be laid. The next day
we received the tools required, wrapped up in one
of your Gazettes with a line, saying that if we
could accomplish the plan proposed, we need give
ourselves no trouble alter we would get out, as a
friend would, when we gave the signal of being
ready, be v at a certain spot pointed out, to guide
us to a place ot safety. This was tidv.cn from the
place and secreted on my person, while the ser
geant’s and corporal's attention, who were standing
beside us, was occupied by the other two who
were out with me.
We began the work with a dour and every
anticipation of succc-s, although to look at the
matter now calmly, I wonder how we possibly
] could have escaped detection, saw oil a bar of iron
| without the knowledge of the guard, and he
j within a few feet of us.—Yet such is the fact.
I Colonel Dodge, w ith one of the men. kept at work
j at the one window, while lat the other, was cx
| erting my talent in keeping the sentinel in con
versation. Occasionally it would squeak rather
| hard, and I could hear it plain enough, but the
men would walk about, would du:fce and sing,
&c., and til us drowned the sound wc did not wish
to have heard. A tile was procured, and as wc
had in the room the boy who hud acted as lifer on
board the “Schooner Ann” his noisy services
were frequently in requisition. At this rate we
continued, with occasional interruptions from
some sulky fellow who would be put on guard,
ho would not enter willingly into conversation,
or some time some more smart than others whom
we. thought we could not so easily hoodwink. In
deed it was rather a hard business for me to find
out the calibre ot the mind of those moving
blocks, that wc might lead him to the conversa
tion that would suit him best. How to discern
the difference between living here and in London
-London porter—Barclay ale—beef, &c., wore
always the general topics cn which they all could
converse.
In the course of a fortnight the sighal was given
to our friend that all was ready for the first dark
and rainy night, which we waited for with the
greatest anxiety, In the meantime I had iicard
that a merchant vessel
catieu the Royal Ade aide, had been chartered to
take me there, and that she would sail in a few
days. The Captain ol the vessel was brought to
see me by the new Town Major (for Major Fraser
had been displaced) and he informed me that he
had not got all his cargo, nor would he be ready
to sail for some time. I found out where his ves
sel lay, and each day when we went out, we used
to look well at the vessel and think when she
would he ready—then at the clouds, and wonder
if the fair weather was always to last. A watch
was regularly kept every night looking out for the
slightest appearance oi rain; at last, when we
were almost worn out witii watching, the good
time seemed to have come. On Monday night
the 15th October, about seven o’clock, it rained
hard, and the night was dark; wc began to make
our preparations. Colonel Dodge and I had our
cloaks rolled up. and each taking a change of linen
and what other little necessaries he wanted, ma le
ready for the start; three out of tHo seven of the
men cont.uued with us volunteering to go with us
and share our fate; the rest remained. Although
the bar had been sawed through, and had been so
for upwards of six weeks, yet it took up a great
deal of time to pry it oil* and to work the lower
part out of the socket in which it was placed, so
that wc were not ready until eleven o'clock. We
then gave the sentry a draught of porter, in which
was put a small ouantiiif nf laudanum, lest our
going out might disturb his slumbers, and the rain
having ceased, and he began to get stupified with
the effects of the opium, tottered about; and the
bar being then elf, we had no alternative —go wc
must; and calling the sentry to me I told him ihst
the little drop of porter I had taken had made me
feel stupified and cold and that I should try a little
brandy, wc had got a small bottle for the occasion)
so wc drank together—l got him to stand near
me leaning against the bars to protect me, as I was
undressed, from the cold.
By this time I had got his back turned to the .
window, and kept him talking and drinking until
Co!. Dodge and others went out and over the
fence. I got one of the men who remained to
take my place at the sentinels side, who did not
perceive the change, while I followed my com
rades ; the place which we passed through was
rather tight for me, and I had to crawl through
without coat or vest. My coakwhcn climbing the
fence, I carried in my teeth. I got down on-the
other side quite easy, owing to sheets wl*dKr#?tf, '
Diede bars', and whiclTaidcd
us much in our descent. Noiseless we entitled
behind a small cook house about fifteen paces
from our rodai, and scarce had we got there when
we heard the relief guard pass wilbin a few feet
of us. We all, however, crouched low, and til®
passed without discerning us. Wc were obliged
to remain until they had and I
had seen with pleasure my boon companion, the
last file marching, although with to
wards the guard house. gain we moved for
wards on our hands and knees, 'one after the
other, when wc were again near being discover
ed by the noise made by one of our number
which attracted the attention of the sentinel on
the wall above our room. On hearing the noise
he moved down towards us—we all lay flat on
the ground, after he had come within a few paces
lie turned round and marched back to fils post.
Again we moved forward end passed the store
houses, behind which is another* sentinel, and
had pissed opposite the sentinel at the magazine
and were in the parade ground, when we were
alarmed by the noise of a sold er running from,
it appeared, our lav? room across the square to-
oiTirer’s quarters—he passed near us.
but did not perceive ns. Mr. Dodge enquired ol
me what I thought it meant, and I, more to cn
courage the mm. than from any belief I had in
what I said, answered that. I supposed some ol
them were sick, and that he was probably going
to the Doctor’s quarters, where il seems, be did
go. Forward we moved again, bet Parker was
stumbling I mentioned before, (for wfrat-reason
we know not) broke cut of the line and marched
in another direction. The noise he made (and
■it was not a little) attracted the attention of the
sentries placed on each lldc of us, and h\

thought every bone in mj jldy was broken to

all more or less injured. my
right ancle joint, and splintered tficHovvcr part
of one of the bones of my leg. Culver, I believe,
dislocated his ancle, or otherwise badly injured
his foot. Hull and Dodge hurt, but not so bad
as we were. One of the icp held on by the
piece of rope, and I went down the second de
scent followed by the other two, while the fourth
let himself drop and was ought by Mr. Dodge,
who, by tbat means, sprained his wrist. Wc
then clambered up the precipice to the glacis, and
descended the turn stile into the street.
As seeing so many persons with bundles in
their hands might look suspicious, if wc met any
us the prowling hands of pdice, we- left the two
men in the Governor’s Garden with the bundles
to remain there quiet until ;tc would go and find
out some French person who would direct us to
where one ol our friends resided, and on no account
to stir from where we placed them until one of us
returned, or sent some one ia bring them to us.—
We passed cn through the streets without meet
ing any one whom wc could venture to ask. One
discovered who wc were partly by guess, and
when I perceived that he eid, 1 made a virtue of
necessity, and informed him who 1 was. He told
me he was a magistrate but as I had been so frank
with him, and thinking (I supposed from Ins
looks) that he might not escape scatheless in a
contest with us. he told us to go our ways, and
pledged Ills word ol honor that, as wc confided in
him. he would give no alann. A young gentle
man who accompanied him, pledged himself also.
Wc left him—passed the sentinel at SSir John
Colbo: lie’s door who challenged us. We advanc
ed I oldlv, and he, mistaking us from our caps and
cloaks lo be some of his own officers, carried arms
to us as we passed.
Not relying implicitly on the promise given us
by the Canadian tory-gentleman. we changed our
course, and a few moment’s walk brought us to
one of the gates of tlje-city, (I believe Hope Gate.)
We passed through'and got into the Lower Town,
where, after a little wandering about, wc met with
a poor Canadian who. at that hour of the night,
was returning from his work, he carried a lantern
with him. I accosted him. and entered with him
into a shed, wherp he laid his tools. I had no
trouble to prevail on him to take me to our friends.
He said he would willingly risk his life in the
serv^ftofjjhqflg.ihr his .poor
of ft' gentleman in Si.
Rocks, who received Us 'with kindness, and went
himself along with ML D. to bring the hoys, but
before they got to the £ates of the town, the alarm
of our escape had been given and all were shut,
and no person Could get either out or in until
daylight—soldiers and police were stationed at
the gates and scouring the streets in all directions.
General McDonnell and staff as well as all the
other military officers, were rushing through the
streets, and lanes like mad mci>*-spurring their
charger ;, and as the poor man, v&o had got in
side, said, knocking the lire from mi? stones of the*
streets with the heels of their horfc, and swear
ing said he, just like soldiers. *
The next morning the two poor fellows, who
were stiffened and cold, crept out of their hiding
places, and crawled into a tavern, where they had
not been long before they were discovered and
taken, while wc were concealed by our friends,
and the most active search was made for us, arid
a reward by the officers of the guards and by Lord
Durham, 53,000, was offered lor our apprehen
sion ; but they might have saved themselves the
trouble, for those with whom wc We-e, and many
who knew our plan of conccrimcqt, although iu
the poorer and low er walks of life, could not be
bought. Wc suffered of course much by the
plans and manner in which we were hidden, for
the first week, and so hot was the pursuit, that
one night between eight o’clock in the evening,
