The following dramatic sketch ol thelimea, we

THE TIMES—A DRAMATIC SKETCH.
Scene I. A Coontiso Hoots, .fell.
Mr. Smith.—John !
John.—Sir!
Mr. S.—Take the hank hook to Mr. Tig Tag,
amlaeoifthe note wna discounted—and, John,
call at Mr. Grumbles, and beg him to keep all
the money ho haafornte, in case it ia not done—
and, John, tell Mr. Skinflint to call, on hi* way
to hit office—and, John, borrow all the money
you can on the rout, [Exit John.] i om, come
here!
Tom.—Yea, air!
Mr.S.—Calculate the interest of a nolc for
000 dollars; 45 days to run, at 8 per cent, per
month.
Tom. —Sir! Sir!
Mr. S.—Calculate the interest, I say.
Tom.—B per coni, per month, sit 1
Mr. B.—Aye— ia there any thing strange in it!
Tom.—Not in the question, sir, but tho rate of
inlere t.
Mr. S. (Aside J —Ho may well start—it is
ruinous, mid cannot lasi—the banks will give us
nothing, they have to support hou-ai whoso busi
ness transactions do not benefit the commvicial
interest of our city—the poor tiudrr now feels
the effect of a system which has brought ruin and
dismay upon us all. The Mississippiuna who
have money will not come near us—those who
have none ere afraid: hence ell our rcsoutccs
are cut off; even tho trade of the city is stagnant,
awaiting, it would seem, for some great counter
revolution.
EtfKit Skinflint,
Skinflint. —Good morning, Mr. Smith. How
is de trade—goes he smoothly visit you, ell 1 De
timer are d—h had when so good as you sutler
much. Vat will become of us all, gold—nl Ah,
it is lie d—n had lime !
Mr. 8. Ido not want to hear your opinion
upon the times, I want money.
Bkinflini.—You vaute tie monish—dat is good,
dat is excellent —what security gives you now ?
Mr. S.—Pro, erly. notes.
Skinflint. —Ah,do Swamp property, not worth

Mr. S.—l have nothing else to offer except rny
own notes, and they are uu belter than Swamp
L >is.
Skinflint.— (Aside —Not a bit, not n hit.) Well
my goo 1 friend, I will lake your properly notes
as do security on your note, at dc 8 per cent, per
month.
Mr. 3.—My necessity contpells me to take it,
firing the money try two o’clock:
Skinflint.—l vill, I bring do monish in do lime
enough. [
Enter Bank Director.
Bank Director—Mr. South, lam sorry to say
you nolo win thrown out.
Mr. B.—Thrown out!—out, sir!
B. U—had to advance a largo cotton
house, sir sixty thousand, which.
Mr. S—And deprive me of a thousand, which
would have suvo.l me from the langt of Skin
flint. and from protest.
11, y.—But lh ; s wasa peculiar case—
Mr. 3.—No, air not a peculiar case, it is an ev
ery day occurrence, and the consequence will
be that half tlu> town must break because you
must keep up a few largo houses—is it oqilable
or jmt.
U. D.—But, Mr. Smith, you must remember
that we must protect thorn to protect ourselves.
M r . s,—This Ido not question—hence it is
the regular merchant, who goes to the north,
purchases goods for the western trade, gives his
notes, makes the city one of a commercial char
acter,that is lolie crushed to advance the interest
of speculators. Sir, what are they to dot what
is to become of them, if hy encouraging a sys
tem, for the few to monopolize and scatter mil
lions, the trade is destroyed, confidence gone, and
the country dealer keeps away hy the fear of be
ing pul in what is now termed the “Atississifh-
JM //«fe,',”ergu, Calaboose'. Is this not the ef
fect produced hy an irregular system ofextond
iog hanking privlcgcs, or rather credit!
B. D.—You do not understand.
Mr.S.—You cannot enlighten me, sir. I un
derstand enough to know I am ruined.
[H it I) rector in a hurry.
Enter John.
John—The note is done for one half, sir. and
Mr. Zig Zag has not a dollar. I borrowed fifty
dollars from our drayman—every little helps.
Mr. 3.—John, how much do wc owe our diay
roan 1
John.—Three thousand dollars, sir, and this
fifty.
Mr. S.—Under a'l circumstances he must he
paid. How much do we lack yet. John, f.r batik.
John.—Two thousand dollars, sir.
Mr.S.—Add seven hundred, which I borrow

John.—Lacks thirteen hundred.
Mr. 3.—Six him Ire I and titty from Skinflint.

Mr. Smith.—What’s the clock!

Mr. B.—Atone,go to the hank, and see if the

Smith.—Ah! you brought plenty of silver!
Jones.—Some little—money’s scarce there—

Enter John.
John—Not dona sir, and no money to be had.
Smith— No matter, put away the book. So

Truro the Minor's Recorder.
Mr. Gatkrigkx. —lt appears that William N,
BISHOP, the lawless bravado of Murray, not
content w t,h the many outrages he has coinmiUcd
on the persons! rights an.l pro, crly of citizens ol
that county, has, since his most astonishing in
stallation in the Central Bunk of Georgia, not
only enacted similar scenes of violence, under the
very eye of the Executive of the State, hut. insti
gated by high m.lhotily, is making furious as
saults upon the character of thus?, who will not
cry immaculate to Gov. Schley, or fawn upon a
certain Doctor, ol Stine selling memory.
In the Standard of Union of the 2lst Mach
last, the Doctor's tool in somu strictures on the
presentmcris of the Jury of Forsyth Superior
Court, alludes to mysell m tho following lan
guage :
“This presentment no doubt was instigated by
his (Judge Kciu.ii) malice, uml carried into client
by the perfidy of another drunken, debased offi
cial tool of Ins, whom I have again anil again rc
| lievcd from pecuniary wants, and saved from the
a walls of a prison with my nuroo and rny money ;
I ami thus lie repays my kindness.”
II Ido not take notice of this calumny, because I
consider uny vindication of my character against
the aspersions of William N. Bishop, as nccctaa
. ry.or expected by those who are acquainted with
me; hut to ,vail myself ol tho suitable occasion,
amply justified hy ibis wanton attack, to show to
the people ol Georgia, nod especially the Union
L party, uliai kind of u man the Guardians ut the
b Central Bunk have entrusted with the funds of
I the State. Letm apply to the very Irihunnl, io
“ which the Governor’s Aid, triumphantly appeals
y fur his high standing, and see ns retarded osli
y male of his character,
c “Why did they not look to llm county of my
residence, for proof of my standing! There I hut
the confidence of a large innjoi ity of its citizens, ’
r exclaims tho Teller of the Central Bank! The
r county of Murray has been looked to: the citizens
ot that county have spoken out, and in a voice ol
thunder, that will not only quail tho heart of the
blustering bully, but carry dismay to tho bosoms
ol his Milledgevdlo pair ms. At the Murray Bu
-1 perior Court held the third Monday in March last,
I the Grand Jury, composed of at least two thirds
ut Bishops friends, with on* uflho present mom
• bers ol the Legislature among them, reported nine
> True Bills against Bishop, eight of which, upon
cnnvii lion, would transfer him from the Central
1 Bank to one of tho cells in the Penitentiary; and
i the investigation of which will satisfy tho people
ul'Georgia, that instead of being placed as a scnli
-1 ncl over the peoples inuiioy, he should bo placed
under tho sentinels of the Penitentiary. Docs
the Teller w ish to hear further from the Grand
Jury? They present him for leaving the coun
try with SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUN
DRED DOLLARS, of their funds, and call upon
the Inferior Court to institute speedy measures
against him for its collection: they further say,
that tho bond given hy him for the building of a
Court-House, or refundment of the money ad
vanced him, is entirely iiiaulficent, and a member
of the Inferior Court, who has always been Bis
hops friend, stales that the bond given hy Bishop
(or the erection ol ;ho Court House, was lead by
him to the Court, very dilierently from wlqit it is
now found to he written.
Most noble, and highly worthy Grand Jury!
Because you had heretofore reposed a misplaced
confidence in this William N. Bishop, ho con
eluded that you w ould regardless of the sanctity
of your oaths, smother his corruptions, and with
i his honorable /'nitrons ut Millcdgcville, attempt
to holster up his putrid reputation, but nobly did
I you sustain tho t tie dignity of your body. In
i answer to the call of duty, you honestly discarded
• i every prejudice und predilection, and fearlessly
exhibited, the worthless favorite of great men,
, in bis naked deformity. As another evidence of
Bishops standing in “tho country ol his resi
dence,” I refer to the closing putt of the Murray
presentments, “Wc must again repeat, (says
the Grand Jury) that wo teel great pride and ex
nllalioii in the belief, that parly strile is subsid
ing in our country, and peaco, good order, and a
proper respect for the laws of our beloved coun
try, prevailing in its stead.”—This “exultation”
of the Grand Jury, clearly convoys a strong reflec
tion upon William N. Bishop, When does the
reign of peace, ar.J good order commence in Mur
ray comity! after Bishop has left it. When is a
proper respect paid to tho laws? When Bishop
is no longer in tho county to violate them! When
Bishop is no longer in (he country to violate
thorn, ami incite others to do the same. There Is
still another act of the Tellers', committed ns
Clerk of the Superior Court of Murray county, of
which every person who feels tho slightest inter
est in the faithful management of the Central
Dank, and of consequence in the prosperity of
the State,should be informed.—William N. Bis
hip has withheld from the Court, mid perhaps
destroyed, nil the criminal papers whic h were in
liis possession as Clerk—and among them indict
ments ngdnst himself, and bonds tor his appear
ance at Court. Does not thin corrupt act of Bis
. hop’s naturally suggest a grave enquiry! If he
I will, ns Clerk, destroy ur withhold the papers of
his office, is it not to he feared, that lie w ill also,
as Teller, corruptly destroy or conceal suite im
. ponaiil papers of the Central Bunk, to effect some
future purpose 1
If the Forsyth Prescnlm tits lias so greatly
alarmed the Doctors’sycophant, and his protec
tors at the Capitol, what will bo their consterna
tion, w' on they’see tho.-e of Cherokee, Lumpkin,
and Union! In these' lliiee counties, the as
tounding n/i/ro ntmenl, is remonstrated against
| in stronger terms, and w ith more omniums hel
f ing towards a cerliin cabal in Milledgeville, tuhl
it has been, if possible, by the Forsyth Giand Ju.
. ry. At tho head of tho Cherokee Jury, is Gen r
al Eli McConnell, Foreman; ami Major William
s 3;ooks of the one in Lumpkin: and who dare >ay
that those gentlemen arc the pliable instruments
o of any one! 1 know them well; and men of
, more integrity or firmness of character are not to
be found: both of whom woujd scorn and imlig
. nantly repel the attempt of uny one to influence
I'ieir judgments in any respect. The first nam
ed gentleman, with General Hemphill of Floyd,
and Col. Farris of Walker, and others, are my
socntitioi to the State fin the fa lliful discharge of
my office, and allow,me the honor of ranking
them among my best friends, if I was a soi, or
c of debased primipes, wood those honorable men
i. incur a heavy responsibility for me, or allow mo
a an intimate association with them before the eye
of the whole comnnniiiy ! But, sir, Bishop did
not, nor could not have written the publication
in the Standard of Union in support of which
t assertion, and that he was hissed upon me by the
e Milledgeville junto, ot some one of them, the
Doctor most likely, and induced to publish the
0 lie he has done, 1 subjoin a copy ol a letter ad
dressed by him to me from Milledgeville after ho
had seen the Forsyth presentment.

I I AM AS USUAL

William N. Bishop."
t What! Mr. Teller! the FKIBN Uof a drunk
-1 ard and debased tool !Ay ! you w/tA to be my
friend, and desire my countenance and support,-
> but Iho Millcdgevrllo junto told you. that you
I could not have my friendship on your terms :
they told you I would not presume my office to
your or their views : they told you I would not
f support the milk and water Gove.nor, who IS'
been a traitor to his friends, a recreant to every
parly to which he has deen attached, and in his
political course has boxed every point in the
political rompasss, and therefore myself, as well
t as Judge Kenan, must be vilified and put down.
I condemn as much as any one unauthorised
disclosures of a friends confidential letter: but the
mariner in which 1 have been assiled by persona
f. behind the scene, through William N. Bishop.
(l will lam asauted, he considired by the public, an
j ample apology for the publication of his Idler.
,p lam perfectly willing that every one may
know my admiration of Judge Kenan, for the
,1 honest, impartial and ah'e n e rncr he has pn aided
e over the Courts of the Chetcokce Circuit; and so
j. long as hermit jes to he, as he has been, THE
UPRIGHT JUDGE, I shall not only admire,
[ but warmly support him for the office he now
B fill*. Should he ever oxhihit the slightest aberra
tion from a strict line id duly, I shall be among
h the first to aid in hurling him from the scat ot jua
e lice.
ir One word in refutation of Bishops boasted favors
i. towards me. When ho first come to Ginesville
where I then resided, his circumstances were
y very liini cd. having brought wit him hut a Irand
l fnl of goods for merchandize in that town. Be
|. lieving him then to he a mam of some smsrl
ness and merit, I induced many of my friends to
c trade with him, by which he was enabled so
; extend his business Being at one time pressed
for money, on his earnest soliealioli, I prevailed
J on five of my friends to endorse a note fid him
a in the Central Bank, for one thousand dollars,
. a large parlof which he drew and derived from it
I, a substantial relief. It was upon my recom
mendation alone, that Governor Lumpkin gave
, him the appi inlmciil of Rctr.e. of the Fractions in
, the Cherokee country. In admitting then, that
j Bishop has stood my hail in some cases, I think
f I shall not bo aceoun ed unreasonable, in saying,
, that his aid to me in that respect, should have
, born considered by him as only a grateful act ol
. reeibrocity.—That he has ever relieved me with
one dollar of his money, I utterly deny ; and ap
f peal to bis numerous creditors in Geo and id. Cn.
I to say, whether any of them have found
’ him so liberal with his money, as to relieve them
. from liabilities incurred - on his account.
i With William N. Bishop, lam done, aril
[ shall not in lulure, nolico any thing he can
write, nr have written by others against me.
i I request the Editors of every Newspaper in
Georgia to publish this Communication, and

CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUGUST ~
Tlmmdtty Kvcn ng, April, 27 1817.
Wo had, on yesterday evening, the pleasure of
visiting the room in Iho Masonic H ill, in which
the Ladies’ Fair of the Presbyterian Working
Society is this day held. Undisturbed by the
ciowd which will no doubt fill the room this after
noon, we had the best opportunity of quietly and
minutely examining very many of the beautiful
articles which are to ho offered for sale. Neat
ness, beauty, taste, elegance and usefulness, arc
all combined in this inviting market of the pro
ducts of female industry. Among the articles
we noticed, also, several boxes of beautiful natu
ral flowers, and some young orange trees. The
atliclcs aro all priced, and wc can bear testimony
to the fact, so far as wc are capable of judging,
that the prices are suited to the pressure of the
times j those who purchase in this market, will
he sure to get value received for their money.
The refreshments prepared for the occasion
arc also of the choicest characlcr—the richest
cake and delicious ico cream are there, and when
administered by the hands, accompanied with
the smiles, of beauty, innocence, purity and vir
lue, will dispense a cheering and consolatory re
lief to hearts made sad by the gloomy character
of the limes. Then go to the Fair—especially
all bachelors—& dispose of a portion of your mo
ney to be applied to the besl of purposes, and for
the encouragement of the labor of the fairest of
hands.
The room is fitted up in a style of taste and
beauty characteristic of those who have devoted
a few hours lime to that purpose.
The Ravels— We went last evening to sec
the performances of this astonishing family, and
returned highly gratified with the visit. Many
of their feats aro surprising beyond any thing wo
have over seen, and many scenes of their panto
tuitie, laughable in tire highest degree—indeed,
the first good hearty hrgone-dull-carc-laugli that
wo have heard for weeks, wc heard last night at
ih» theatre. They porlurm again on Friday night,
when, il the weather permits, wo have no doubt
1 the house will ho literary crammed.
We regret to understand that there arc many
reports afloat in the country, injurious to the cre
dit and chat actor of Augusta, her merchants and
her hanks. It has been reported in ike interior
that all the hanks here, and nearly all the met"
chants and business men of the city had failed.
I This is grossly untrue ! There is not, we bolicvo >
! a city in the Union, whoso banks and merchants
! arc in sounder condition than those of Augusta,
! 1 rue, it is, that we feel here, as every where else
in the commercial world, the pinching severity
of the limes, but this city we have not a douht>
will weather the storm as welt us any other, whose
business connections are of the same extensive
, character. We have had so far as our knowledge
extends no actual failures—there may have been
a few isolated cases of suspension, and wo arc
satisfied that those houses (ami they aro
very few) aro perfectly solvent, and will he able
to pay all their liabilities to the uttermost farthing.
Wc caution the people of the interior, against put
ting faith in reports circulated by mischievous or
ignorant persons, of whom there ore always a
i plenty in times like the present, to originate anj
1 magnify stories to the great injury of both the
| city and the country.
We have been requested to suggest the pro
, prioly of calling a meeting of the mercantile and
other business men of the city, for the purpose
of giving an expression ofopinion, upon the ex
pediency of requesting the location ofa Branch vs
• the Insurance Bank of Columbus at this place.
t - The ability of our Bunks to afford exchanges up
• on the North, is based,in a great degree, upon the
• cotton that is sent forward, and hence at a time
j like this, when there is no cotton selling, they can
, do nothing in the exchange business. The In
s suranco Bank of Columbus, from its connection
5 with the United States Bank, would not bo so
’ dependent upon this source, ami could he of cs
( sential service to our city at such a lime as this,
i It is now utterly impassible u> tusks isaiiunma
to the North in the usual way, and the merchants g
Will soon be compelled to forward ,lhe specie or b
suffer their debt* payable in New York to go un
paid. Il is no evidence of undsoundness in our (
city Banks that they cannot check upon the i
North as usual, but merely the result of a slagna- t
tion in tire cotton market.
It ii understood upon good authority that the *
Farmer's Bank of Chalahoochec has failed.
The hills of the Bank of Ilswkinsville are not (
bankable here, and arc selling at a discount in the (
streets. The report ot this latter Bank as pub- 1
lulled in the Standard of Union, shows a circula- '
tion of $+29,000
Due other Banks, 63,000
Deposites, 30,000
Profits due 25,000
Surplus fund 10,000
Making its immediate liahilties, $557,000
To meet this it has Specie, $78,000
Bills of other banks, 9,000
Bills of exchange, 570,000
Notes discounted, 83,000
do, in suit, 3,000
$738000
Its capital is $200,000, shewing that its circu
lation is twice and a quarter as great as its capital,
Wc make thii rough statement, not with any
i view to prejudice the Bank, but as its hills are
under par here, to let the people see its condition
and judge for themselves—to-morrow wc shall
publish the report entire.
The Baltimore American says: “A publication
. siad to have been authorised fry Santa Anna,states
that his pledges to Gen. Houston, and Iris subse
quent visit to Washington, were only a ruse dt
gueire, in the first place to save hia life, and
•übscquently to gain his liberty.
The N. Y. Evening Star, speaking of the
ernancipatiot laws in the British Colonies, says :
Beal'tiehof the Aprnr.NTicEsnip Law.—
The negroes when left to themselves hccoino ut
, lerly leekless and worthless, the fruits of which
w- see every day, and just at this moment in our
i own city. Ai emancipated negress at Savannah
LaMar m the island of Jamaica, lately inhuman
ly suffered her child, aged six, to die by starva
tion, refusing o give it the food the neighbors
sent to her. 'i’hrs act ot brutality caused much
excitement. The curior o.*' the Kingston Chron
icle, remarking on the degeusratc and dissolute
character ot the free negro, says.
“Wo are sorry to believe there are many sticll
brutalized brings amongst the lower grades of our
Colonial population, and unless proper laws are
put in force lo correct their sloth, and control
their dissolute habits, the line race of sleek-skin
ned, healthy pickaninnies, which every where
gambolled about the pastures of the Jamaica pro
prietor, will degenerate into stunted puny starve
lings, born hut lo perish in their infancy, or lo
linger out a miserable existence, inflicted by par
ental brutality and neglect.”

From the N. Y. Com. ado April 82.
Wall-stheet. — One O'clock. —No relief
yet in the money market, indeed no prospect
ahead, only, that it appears to us the slate of
things cannot he much worse. Yesterday, the
names of several extensive dealers were added lo
the long list, of unfortunates; in all probability
many will follow in the same train this afternoon.
What adds lo the distress of almost every indi
vidual, is the situation of country paper, partic- j
ularly of our own safety fund hanks, with the ,
exception of the Geneva Bank and Dank of But- ,

Half fast One O’clock.— The money mar
ket was again seriously agitated this morning, hy
advices from Albany, that the hanks of that city
would receive no more paper of lire Western
salety fund hanks. The state of the case we be
lieve lo he this; —
The comptroller had given directions that the
Stale Treasury would receive no bills of certain
western and rrorrhern banks which were specified,
and which wc forbear to mention, inasmuch as it
was understood last evening at Albany that the
order would he revoked this morning.
One of the Wall street houses this morningre
ccivcd a letter from an Albany hank, stating that
they wished no more country hank paper at pre
sent. Not a whisper Iras been breathed, howev
er, against the solvency of of any of these hanks.
Another Wall street house executed a small
order from Albany, for the purchase of country
hank paper, lo lire amount of $25,000 J It was
soon supplied.
General Davis, one of the bank commissioners,
is in Wall street this morning. His assutanccr
are of the most positive character, that the hanks
are entirely sound —and so we believe. He is
desirous of effecting an an nngcinent for the re
demption of country hills, to tiro amount of live
hundred thousand dollars—which, he isconfident
will be sufficient for the emergency.
I’riim the New York Herald.
WALL STREET, April 22.
Yesterday was comparatively a quite day, in
spite of the had news from New Orleans, or the
inccnd ary articles of the Wall street editors,
who in the period ot speculation, stimulated the
world lo the present crisis, and now that we are
in the midst of calamity, add fuel to the flame hy
every species of insane and illegal recommenda
tion. Fancy stocks rose a little, and bank slocks
1 fell a little-—only a few failures were announced
that we heard of. People take things with grea
ter equanimity than usual. The question now
is—"have we seen the worst!”—“Have wc reach
ed the bottom!”—‘Ts it not disgraceful that the
Wall street prints which encouraged speculation
ami high prices, should now in the reaction, try lo
create revolution and blood lied?”
There are two classes of opinions as regards
the future—the one believe that the worst is over
—the other, that it is to come. Great apprehen
sion is yet entertained to hear from England—
and many firmly believe that the events which
have taken place in this country, since the rcxul
sinn began, will bringdown nil the American hou
ses in Liverpool and London, Others believe
that before the English government see the Bank
of England suspend specie payments, or their
general hanking and manafacturing system go to
wreck, it will authorize an issue of forty mil
lions sterling in exchequer bills, or even any a
mount, in order to carry the country through the
crisis.
There may not be any smypathy for the Ameri
can cotton and hanking houses, in Liverpool and
Loudon, hut if these establishments and our
trade to England are so interwoven with British
trade and manufactures, that one cannot fail
without endangering the other, il is highly prob
able —nay certain, that the Briii*h government
will sustain both by its credit and its prompti
tude of action.
It is now ton late to talk of our specie exports
or the aid of the U. S. Bank, sustaining us in
England. If wc would, we could not avert a
general crash of the American trade in England, t
by any measure within out power. The whole <
foreign trade of this country, and our hanking ’
and manufacturing system in part, may be said ' 1
to Ire in the hands of the British government,.
through lire agency of the Bank of England, and
the American bouses in London an.l Liverpool.
Our own government has been so long alienated
from the commerce of its own country, hy the
ban t wars of the late presidency, that it feels only
as a step-mother given to gin-slings, orsomething
worse. Il is a melancholy fact that to our old—
our ancient—our ncver-to-lie-forgollen mother
country —to the energy, the skill, and the genrr
osity of the race from which we all spring—wo
may lie indebted for tlrofc measures of hope and
expectation, for which we look in vain lo the
government of our own land and of our own cre
ation.
During the period of time that may intervene
from the 17th of March to the Ist of May, in
England, probably $20,000,000 of American pro
duce, at the old prices, may arrive in part pay
ment of our foreign debts. A depreciation on
that amount has taken place 30 per cent at least.
Bills ol exchange diawn against these shipments
at the anticipated high prices, will of course be
returned dishonored in a like ratio, of 30 to 100
—hnl the rest may lie liquidated. Ve the various
mutual indorsements and mutual interlurkage of
the various \mcr can houses In England, may
give scope to a deficiency o! five or scien millions,
causing lire whole frame work to come into the
field. Our sule defence, therefore is not in the
recent meat-ores of lire hanks, nor in lire smalt
shipments of specie which Mi. Biddle may make;
hut it is in the action of the British government
and of the Bank of England. A supensiorr of
specis payments in England would involve a sus
pension of her manufactures. That event, in the
present stale of political fee ing would breed a
revolution ot hi >o 1, not hardy a change of minis
try. ()ur shr.i vdest rcasoners,believe that for their
own safety the British government will interpose
an issue of exchequer hills and avert the terrible
crisis that is yawning equally upon them as upon
us. If such he not done, wc may well dread
the recoil in ibis country. It is a miserable de
lusion, got up hy charlatans, to suppose that a
suspension of specie payments in England,
would not create an equally had, it not a worse,
state of things in this country. A blow to Brit
ish credit, would strike to the heart the whole
commercial world, and prostrate in the dust one
half the hanking institutions in this country. A
calamity inflicted on any leading point or prin
cipal citadel ot tire creditor hanking system, is
felt through the whole fabric. In the year 1830,
and part of 1837, the Bank of England, stood as
follows:
1830. Circulation. Gold.
Jan. 12, £17,262,000 £7,078,000
Feb. 0, 17,427,000 7.498,000

September 20, 18,14?,000 5,719,000
October 18, 17,936,000 5,257,000

1837.
January 13, 17,522,000 4,287,000
February 10, 17,868,000 4,032.000
It will he recollected that the first measures of
the Bank towards a curtailment began in July
last, when their specie was rapidly undergoing n
diminution. Yet the very same miserable Wall
street prints, which cry out now about sending
away our specie, the only solid basis of our inter
nal trade, then indulged in all sorts of vituperation
against the now policy of that institution. We
allude to the Courier and Enquirer, the Journal,
and the Express. Ir July and August, 1838,
ihesejouinals were up to their eyes in the miser
able land and slock hubbies of the day ; and like
the equally short sighted bankers of Wall street,
instead of taking warning from the changed ac
tion of the great pivot of the foreign credit sys
tem, they In aped all kinds of abuse on the action
of the Bank of England, hccausa it menaced
their speculations, when they were ripe for rogue
ry. At that period, Iho Herald was the only pa
per in the city, that dared to storm the torrent of
speculation, then encouraged by the madmen of
Wall street. We pointed out—we entreated—
we begged them to pause. The Journal of Com
merce said, that “ high prices were natural, per
fectly natural”—the Courier did not“ understand
what overtrading meant”—the Express publish
ed inflated accounts of the value of unproductive
real estate, in the swamps of Harlem and Long
Island. These miserable drivellers and charla
tans now sco lo what a condition their obstinacy
anil folly have brought the city and country.
Why disguise it ? Wo are in the hands of the
British government - and if the whole of the im
porting merchants—one half of our hankers—
and two-thirds of the foreign bill dealers, yet left
standing, should he saved, it will he owing lo the
magnanimity and promptitude of British credit
and British finance. Well may wo wait with
fear and trembling for the next news from Eng
land ! Trusting to rhc noble, lire resolute, lire
clrivalric character of the race from which we all
sprung, it is our deliberate conviction that wc will
he saved,and that the crisis is in a measure over.
Yet we say so with fear and trembling.
Yesterday, at least half a dozen failures took
place—several ol them iu Maiden Lane, and two
shipping merchants. One half were forced to
fail hy the refusal of the government hanks to
lake checks of southern banks. Our banks begin
lo entertain suspicion of all southern hanks. The
nows from new Orleans, also, last night, was ol
the most appalling character—failures of twenty
seven millions in two days, and half their banks
suspected. The effect of these failures on New
York will he seen to-day.
