Affairs in China—The American Minister.—
The correspondent of the London Times, writing
from Hong Kong on the 16th of December, after
repeating the rumor that the imperial commissioner,
Yen, had refused, quite insolently, to treat with Mr.
Reed, the American minister, inside the city of
Canton, adds:
Yeh seems resolved to show the world that he is
determined to carry out the policy openly acknowl
edged, and to consider the terms of the last treaty
binding only so long as he has not force enough to
break them. He seems to be coufldeut also that the
preeent is a proper season for perseverance in this
policy. lie das doubtless heard of the might and
wonderful contrivances of the U. S. steamship Min
nesota. Nothing that can be said in praise of her
discipline aud arrangements, her exquisitely finished
machinery for economizing labor and time in the
working of her guns, her Sharpe’s rifles, her officers’
cabins, aud her state reception rooms, cau be too
great praise, but Yeh has htard all about these.
We have just eeiz and copies of a correspondence
which has been passing between a Chinese writer
resident on this Island and Howqua. It contains a
minute chronicle of every event and descriptions of
men and things, including a by no means flattering
a- count of the personal appearance of Lord Elgin.
Possibly il also included a statement of the draught
of water of the Minnesota.
We must hope, in the interest of humanity, that
when the allotted interval has expired. Yeli will
yield. He must know that he has at hia gate the
representatives of the four great nations of the
earth, aud that however they may differ upon the
modus operfindi, they are all equally determined to
tolerate no longer this foolish Chinese pageant.
Mr. Reed does not, I apprehend, propose to himself
to go home without making a treaty, any more than
dons Count Putiatiue, or Baron LeGres, or the Earl
of Elgin.
This morning the occupation of Honan took place.
Ti e sight from Macao tort was interesting only for

quite expecting, but feeling the possibility that some
puff of smoke might give signal for a light. The Chi
nese, however, had wisely seen that this plain and
open island was not defensible. If there had been
any soldiers there, which is very improbable, they
hud been withdrawn when we ssued our proclama
t on to the inhabitants that we intended to take peac
able possession. Some tents were now pitchea, the
outposts form and, the French and English positions
demarcated, and our material guarantee was seized.

Circular of the Liverpool Cotton market reports the
sales of the week 65,900 bales, ol‘which 11,500 were
on speculation aud 2,500 for export. The advices
from the United States, per Niagara, caused an ad
vance early in the week of |d. $ v lt> in the cur
rent qualities of American. The maiket closed

CRinr. in New York —Mr. Ta lmadge, General
Superintendent of Police in New York, has made a
report to the Board of Commissioners, from which
we gather the following facts, touching the amount
of uritne in New York during the past three months.
It will bee seen that, but for the foreign element of
the population, there would be but small necessity
for the a police force. Whole number of arrests
amounts to 12,779, of which, excluding colored per
sons, 2274 were natives, and 10,270 foreigners, clas
sihed as follows:
Irish 8000 j Swedes 6
Germans 1223 | West Indies 5
English 577 | Cubans 5
Scotch 510 j Swiss 3
French 85 j Hollanders 3
Italians 57 1 Welsh - 2
Canadians 55 I Danes 1
Poles 10 | Portuguese 1
Sj anish 11 j Colored Persons...!iio
Forty one thousand and uiuety four poor and des
titute persons have been accommodated with lodg
ings. of whom seven eighths were foreigners.
The same style of things, statistics of crime in our
city, are presented, indeed nearly three-fourths of
all the money expended for prisons and poor-houses,
in our great cities goes by reason of the presenceo f
foreign vagabonds among us. Tax payers are bled
profusely to support European lazzaroni aud leaf
ers. Let the reader weigh well the figures we give,
aud which materially tell the story of Philadelphia,
as well as they do for New York : 12.778 arrests for
crime in three months, 10.279 of these foreigners,
S.tJOU Irish I Ten twelfths of the whole amount of
crime of foreign growth, and ihree fourths of that
from “gwate Ireland!’’ Well may “ Old Molly’’
boast that she has taken possession of us, body and
soul. Never was couquest more perfect.
The Transit Rocte.—The Washsngton corres
pendent of the Baltimore Sun says :
Letters from Nicaragua state that the transit
route cannot be opened in a less time than feur
months, even if the contest between the competi
tors for the contract be : ettied at once. But it is
stated that arrangements have been completed in
New York for establishing the line. Commodore
Vanderbilt receives forty thousand dollars a month
from the companies connected with the Panama
route, merely for withdrawing from competition
with them. But it is stated that he will relinquish
the contract, and establish another line ot com
munication by way of the Nicaragnan tsthmus.l
If tneY'rissari treaty shall be ratified by Nicara
gua. we may hope to witness the of the
bio* kade of this important ronte. The objections
which have been raised against this treaty are
founded upon a misconception of its terms. It does
not, m- has been alleged, afford protection merely to
a private company. It provides for the protection
ofthe transit and for the security of the propeny
and persons of American citizens who may reside
in Nicaragua. It secures utc nght of holding iands
it that btaie. and American citizens may become
land holders there—a right which will induce Ameri
can colonisation, which will rapidly follow the con
clusi not the treaty. .
The message of Gov. Johnson to Ute California
Legislature, and the inaugural address of Governor
Weller, strongly urge the policy of facilitating com
munication witL the Pacific, by the protection of the
transit and of the overland routes. These measures
are strongly recommended to the attention of the
federal gu\ ernment as essential to the settlement of
the Pacific region and the intervening territory, and
therefore, to tne prosperity and perpetuity of the
Union itself.

The nev. State administration went into power on
the Bth inst. Oa that day Governor Johnson deli
vered his last annual message, and Gov. John B
Weller his Inaugural.
Johnson's message was a very long one. He re
ports the total amount of taxable property in the
State to be $131,806,268, an increase of $18,349,267
during the previous year. The total indebtedness
of the State is $3,893,294, the annual revenue sl,-
152,234. and the annual expenditure $<199, 803. On
the firs: day of ISSB there were $301,222 m cash in
the State treasury. Gov. Johnson says tbe eoneli
tutional convention scheme wa* defeated by the
popular vote. He recommends the construction of
a State capitol and a State boore of refuge; the
passage of laws defining the qualifications of phy
sic an> and druggists, and ameuding the passage of
laws relating to insolvencies, divorces, attachments,
sole traders, homesteads, the evidence of China
men and the congressional election. He recom
mends, also, that an act ahaii be passed for the pro
tection of settlers.
Gov. Weller delivered a brief inaugural. He
commences by saying that he will use the whole
power oi the State to put down any organization
hostile to the dominion of the State Courts. lie says
a law should be passed to protect
made in gpod faith by settlers on other pWple’s
lands; hinid that mining claims should be taxed ;
condemns papei money; calls for a Pacific railroad
and remonstrates against the discussion and agita
tion of the slavery action.
The Legislature has taken no important action as
yet, though a number of bills have been introduced.
Mr. L*e, of El Dorado, has offered in the Assembly
a bill to provide for the suppression of mobs and un
lawful organizations.
On the 10th inst, an association was formed in
this city called the “ban Francisco Corn Exchange.”
Its object is to establish aud maintain the usages of
trade ; to appoint an inspector of flour; to fix the
standard grade of flour, aud the weight per barrel;
to act as a Court of Arbitration, and to lake actiou
in such cases where the general interests of the
members are concerned.
A slave case came up in Sacramento about ten
days ago. A gentleman from Mississippi came to
the State last summer bringing a slave named Arehy
with him, and was preparing to return by the stea
mer which leaves to-day, but the slave who had
staid, with him up to that time, then left him. The
master had Archy arrested, and appiied to George
Pen John ion for legal authority to’ take Archy as a
slave to Mississippi. The commissioner dismissed
the application, saying he has no jurisdiction, be
cause Archy did not come as a fugitive to the State.
Tne friends of the slave have issued out a habeas
corpus , ; but Judge Robbinson, county Judge of
Sacramento county, has postponed fiis decision of
the case till the 23d inst.
R H. Stanley, a lawyer and searcher of records
in Sacramento, has been discovered in a number of
frauds, by which eight or ten persons have been
cheated oat of $25,000 or $30,000.
Mr. Gray, of San Francisco, has introduced in the
Assembly a series of resolutions approving of the
Kansas bill ot U. S. Senator Douglas. They have
excited some angry discussion, but no fiual action
had been taken in regard to them.
The past fortnight has presented nothing of in
terest to our Atlantic readers Business has slow
ty but steadily improved. The weather has been
mild and pleasant; many new buildings are go
ing up and a general manifestation of enterprise is
apparent.
The miners in Calaveras county have commenc
ed anew the ciusade against Chinese miners. Late
ly public meetings were held at Vallecito and Doug
las’ Flat, at which resolutions were passed ordering
the Celestials to leave within ten days or forfeit
their lives. These excitements against Chinamen
are periodical in California.
The banking firm of Williams & Cos., at Oro
villo,suspended payment on the 12th January. In a
ard they put down their outstanding indebtedness
at $5,000.
From Oregon.—Our dates from Oregon Terri
tory are to January 2d. The news is bare of inter
est. Tbe Snake Indians are reported to have join
ed the Mormons against the United States. The
Olickitats are counciling as to what they had best
do in the Morrnou war. The “saints” have emis
saries among all the Indian tribes, to inveigle them
upan their side.
From the San Franeieco Herald.
Later from Salt Lake.—Below we give some
important intelligence from Salt Lake, received by
way of Carson Valley, and telegraphed from Sacra
mento. The main fact seems to be that the troops
attempted to force a passage through Echo Canon,
but were unsuccessful.
“Sacramento, Jan. 9, 1858.
“ Messrs. Middleton and Pearson arrived at Car
son Valley ou the 6th, and Mr. Pearson has just ar
rived from Carson Valley, via the Big Tree route.
They brought an express from Washington to Har
ris’ Fork for Col. Johnson. On December 7th, Col.
Alexander with the fith Dragoons had attempted to
force their way through Echo Canon; in the at tempt
four of the dragoons, were killed. Thinking it im
possible to force the pass. Col. Johnson, who had
assumed command ot the troops, retired, aud in a
few days despatched Col. Alexander, with 28 dra
goons as an escort, to St. Louis, to obtain supplies.
Col. Johnston then retreated a short distance to Sul
phur Springs and took the Sublette out off around
to the North of Salt Lak j to Box Elder,from which
Messrs, Middleton and Pearson started, December
13th Col. Johnson was there at the time with the
second and third dragoons and light artillery, seven
six-pound and five iwelve-pound Paixhans. He
has sent foraging parties, fifty men each, and has
obtained 2,400 cattle and other supplies of all kinds.
The Col. has pickets ou’ all the way from Bold El
der to Gravelly Ford of from forty to sixty men. An
escort of seven dragoons came with the express
men to Gravelly Ford.
He will attempt to enter Salt Lake City about the
Ist of May, as he expects Harney will arrive on the
other side about that time.
The’ e are three companies of dragoons at Fort
Bridger. Fort Supply, twelve miles south, has been
evacuated by the Mormons, and the troops have
p ssfcsa'.on of it. Mr. Pearson has seen n# snowsiuce
leaving Carson Valley. Johnson’s command have
experienced no inconvenionce whatever from
snow, not having seen any. Harney will have the
2d dragoons, three companies, 13th mounted regi
ment. Five companies of rifles will arrive on the
Uth.
Mr. Pearson thinks the Mormons wish to leave
Salt Lake if they can, but their escape is now cutoff.
He saw but few Indians.
About the 28th of August five American gentle
men, whose names are at present unascertained,
left Carson Valley for Salt Lake City, and it is un
derstood they traveled to Utah in company with the
Mormons, who quitted Carson Valley to return to
Salt Lake, by order of Brigham Young.
News have reached us now that these gentlemen
were murdered at a point about 100 miles south of
Salt Lake by the Indians, and it is supposed that the
“Saints” had some hand in the massacre.
Later from South America.— A destructive
fire took place in Valparaiso on the Uth, at 1 a. m.,
in the square in front of the former custom-house.
By the exertions of the fire brigade, assisted by the
crews of U. M.’s ship Monarch aud French frigate
Embuscade, the flames were prevented from spread
ing. Loss calculated at £200,000, partly convered
by insurance.
Affairs iu Bolivia were quiet.
The Americau sloop Antinett was found deserted
in lat. 36 deg. south.
Gen. M. B. Lamar, United States minister to Ni
caragua, was, at last accounts, on his way to that
country.
A war between Brazil and Paraguay was im
minent.
From Bolivia it is reported that Mr. Dana, the
American minister, will not resign.
Further by the Niagara.—A special dispatch
to the Baltimore San contains the following addi
tions! European news brought by the Niagara :
Liverpool letters per the Niagara state that the
cotton market was fir;/! and buoyant at full a farth
ing a<Jrance since the sailing of the Arabia, but un
changed since the Indian. Speculators and spin
ners were purchasing freely ; fair Orleans 7J; mid
dling 7. Stock of American reduced below 200,000
pounds. Manchester letters report more inquiry
for goods aud yarns, in part for India, but the ad
vanced obtained was considerably below the en
hanced vfthse of the raw material. Havre letters
announce more activity in cotton and trade gener
ally, with a slight improvement in nearly all staple
articles.
London letters report that money was offering in
the discount market at two and half to three & cent
but general stagnation in financial matters was
everywhere prevalent. The reduction by the bank
to four & cent had no special effect on the funds,
as the movement had been anticipated, nor had it
led to any very perceptibie increase in the demand
for accommodation. The total stock of bullion in
the bank exceeded fifteen millions stirlmg. Consols
improved a i from the lowest rates of Tues
day, closing at floi. American stocks firm ; some
descriptions have advanced.
A Female Jeremy Diddler.—Our city has of
late been honored by the presence of a feminine
Jeremy Diddler of the most confidential and insin
uating description. She was known here as Mrs.
and wafl introduced into society as a
widow worth S4O 000. She came here last summer
from St. Louis, v’sited several charatible institutions,
assumed benevolent airs, and finally became the
bright particular star and financial magnet of a
fashionable boarding house. The lady who kept
the boarding house was much pleased with her
wealthy boarder, and took great pains to introduce
her to her most fashionable and wealthy friends, and
particularly to tne dry goods stores at which she
dealt.
On the elrength of these introductions the insinua
ting widow ran up bills to the amount of thousands
of dollars, and negotiated loans which but few male
speculators could have effected under the cireurn
stances. Indeed her great wealth, corroborated as
it was by a judicious display of bills of exchange
and other fiscal documents, was assumed as a fixed
fact, and no one doubted her ability to pay.
In one store un Chartres street she ran up a bill
of $i,400, she borrowed SIOOO from a gentleman in
the Fourth District; put the lady with whom she
boarded in for about $800; and'made extensive
purchases in various portions of the city. One night
last week the widow did not return to her boarding
house, and since then it has been ascertained that
she left the city, leaving behind her only her empty
trunks and a very uncertain reputation.— N. O.
Ptcayuue.
Beware of the Guerillas !—For some time
past, a gang of rowdies, five in number, but gener
ly seen three together, nave waylaid and robbed in
the night, negro men, and have been euspected of
committing the like depredations upon inebriated
white men. Grown bold in success, the scamps on
Friday night last, attacked a very respectable citi
zen of this place, who, in company with his son.
was on his wr y home. They first struck him on the
head with a slung-shot, as is supposed, and then at
tempted toj rifle bis person, but the resistance thst
he made, his residence being near at his hand, and
the loud alarm given by his son, caused a precipi
tate retreat on the part of the rutfiiaos, who, in re
treating, fired two p:etol shots at the assailed party.
Such are the facts as they have been reported to us.
“Gvertila*” these foot-pad*” have been termed
by some of our good citizens, who talk of inaugu
rating a club of Regulators to deal with the sus
pected party. We oppose any such movement, be
lieving our vigilant police are on the track of the
young rascal*, and that ere many boors more they
will be safely locked up in jail, or save themselves
by fight to unknown regions, if, perchance, to re
gions down below they do not sooner go — Atlanta

Persecution* i> Madagascar.—The latest intel
licence from this ill-governed and miserably oppress
ed island is eminently sad and disheartening. t A
persecution followed the expulsion of the French
men in July la*', which has proved to be uncommon
ly severe. Thirteen Christians have been put to
death more than fifty have been subjected to tb<r
ordeal of the ‘ tanguea,” (poison water./ with fatal
results in the cases of eight; more than fifty have
been bound in chains, two having died; and many
others are reduced to slavery. There seems to be
no hope, therefore, that those, who have embraced
the doctrines of the Bible will be tolerated during
the reign ofthe present Queen. Whether her son
will escape a death of violence, a* he is known to
be friendly to “the new way,” is quite doubtful.
Avalische is Maine.—An avalanche of ice
and snow, which descended upon the bouse of Mr.
Elisha Murray, in Montville. Maine, broken in the
doors and windows, filling the lower rooms with
snow and water and burstici; the partitions, descend
ing into the cellar Mrs. Murray was thrown upon
the floor and had her arms broken and her ahoukiers
dislocated. Tbe path of the avalanche across the
farm was forty to fifty feet wide, carrying away
walk, fences, &c.
New York Chamber ff nmmerce cn Rniik
log Laws*
At a recent meeting of the New l*ork Chainb r
of Commerce a report was made by Messrs. Mat
:hew Maury, James Brown, A. A. Low. Royal
Phelps, Henry W. T. Mali, and P. Perit, who were
appointed a committee to consider what orange is -
required in the banking law of this State. It was
read, and final action upon it laid over to a figure
meeting. It is strongly in favor of making ft obligato
ry on the banks to keep on baud an amount of specie
always bearing a certain proportion to their cash
liabilities. The views of the committee as to tihs
proportion, and of the peralty for the failure to
keep if on hand, arc shown m the -following extract:
The Governor recommends adequate penalties.
The Louisiana Law provides the best possible ; for
those are best w hich undo the damage while pun
ishing tbe offence The penalties to at we recon)
mend are that no loan or discount shall be made by
any bai.k which has been below its required line of
specie for two successive weeks by its weekly state
ments, until it ia restored to line; and in case cf \v
lating this provision, the bank shall bo wound up as
insolvent. Il will be necesc&ry, however, that
country banks shall give the Superintendent aver
age monthly reports of their condition, (for weekly
are scarcely necessary;) and that the same peni
shall apply to them after a month of offence as
to ours alter two weeks.
Our aim ia to fix upon the largest metallic propor
tion that tbe sound interests of cur banka will admit
of, and with this view we recommend not less than
25 and not more than 30 per cent., believing that
either rate will not debar well managed banks from
earning fair dividends, such as 8 per cent., wheu the
value of current paper in Wall street is not below 7
percent. We must remark, prudent and steady
banking will practically require the specie hold
ings in this city to be 3 per cent., and perhaps, oc
casionally, 5 per cent, greater than the legal rate,
say 28 or 30 actual for 25 per cent, legal, and 33 or
35 for 30 per cent; whereas our country banks will
need a less margin, and the busine.-s of New Or
leans admits of working tkir banks without one of
3 per cent.
Such a law will possess the merit of being self
acting, intelligible and simple in itself, requiring
no new machinery for its supervision, and yet of
meeting and checking all those defects of organiza
tion and administration in which ruinous contrac
tions and general bank suspensions have their ori
fin. If by any accident, the line of specie should
e too low for a single week, the proper proportion
could be recovered iu the second week, and the
compulsory stoppage of discounts be avoided. The
offending bank will be detected and identified, and
the punishment fali upon it alone, without cxclud
ing it from the Clearing House or endangering the
money of the depositors ; moreover, without caus
ing any unwholesome alarm ia the community, be
cause the punishment will begin before the offender
can have incurred risk of actual insolvency by .
means of over issues of credit. Competition for
deposits by offers of high interest will be checked,
for deposits will bring with them the duty of holding
more specie, the expense of which duty and tho
penalty for neglecting it will reduce the question of
rate of interest to very narrow limits.
The committee further report :
We approve highly of the Superintendent’s re
commendations that no more mortgages be received
as security for bank notes, and that the old banks
be gradually brought under the law requiring seen
rity for notes; but we do not approve of his propo
sition to allow the business of banking tubs com
meneed upon securities for $5U,000 instead of SIOO,-
000.
Various projects have been suggested for prevent
ing a recurrence of the recent difficulties. Among
them are:
Prevention of banks paying interest on deposits.
That deposits should not be payable in gold.
Prohibition of bank notes below $5, $lO or S2O.
Limitation of the rate of bank dividends.
An enormously large bank.
A Board of Currency, to supervise and regulate
the banks, &.C., &c.
We think we have already shown that the simple
plan of holding gold against deposits will accomplish
all the sound aud practical objects at which these
projects aim.
The legal prevention of interest on deposits is not
recommended by the Governor or Superintendent,
and probably because it would admit of so many
evasions as to be useless iu practice; but even if
practicable, we think all its good objects will be at
tained by the Governor’s plan, and we are unwilling
to countenance any restrictions of questionable ne
cessity.
The payment in gold of deposits in checks cannot
be retused. It would amount to bank suspension
Without denying that some benefit may arise
from a prohibition of small not j s under certain cir
cumstances, we mast admit that this measure has
not answered expectation in Pennsylvania; and
undoubtedly it is much more important that notes
should be secured by the pledge of good convertible
stocks and undue issues of bank credit be checked
by an enforced holding of gold against deposits,
than that small notes should be prohibited. We
think such prohibition can be of little or no use in
practice, unlesi enforced throughout the United
States and therefore we cannot recommend it.
A limitation of bank dividends would be practi
cally unjust and is not desirable.
Avery large bank would be useless if the other
banks are to be continued, and therefore impracti
cable for any present beneficial effects.
No Board of Currency is required. As the plan
of specie against deposits would be self-acting, the
present machinery of officers need not be increased
One Month Later from Utah.
The California papers have dates from Salt Lake
City to the 13th of December. Not one word is
said in them in regard to the position of the Uni
ted States troops, their condition, or a collision hav
ing taken place between them and the Mormons.
An extra of the Los Angelos Star, from which
we quote, says ; —“Brigham’s army has been put
in much better condition than it was. Clothing
and provisions have been supplied to them; the
poor people in many cases denying themselvaa the
necessaries of life in order to make up the supplies
necessary to keep an army iu the field.”
It having been understood that Col. Alexander
had made a movement as if he intended to enter
the city from the north, by Bear river, it seems from
a hint Brigham let fall that he has dispatched a force
to meet him there. This is to be inferred from the
fact of seizing the cattle from a man iu the north to
supply the wantsjof his troops. The Mormons are
preparing for a long contest. Being free from ino
lestation by the army till May or June, they are busy
putting in crops. A much greater breadth of land
will be cultivated than before.
There ia less reference made to the army and gov
eminent of the United States in the “remarks” of
the rulers of the church than heretofore.
The proclamation cf Gov. Cumming had been re
ceived at Great Salt Lake City, and read in the
Tabernacle on the 6th December. Very free com
ments were passed up it, Mr. Carrington, of the
News, insisting that it was unofficial, not having
specified that the appointment was “by the Presi
dent of the United States/’ The elders of the
church decided, consequently, that they had as yet
no information ot the appointment of anew Gov
ernor.
After reading the proclamation it was reported
among the crowd outside the Tabernacle that
Brigham had stated he would admit Gov. Gum
ming, but that none of the troops would be per
mitted to accompany him. This looks like backing
down.
The Mormon troops, under Lieut. Ge. Wells,
had returned to the city, leaving about fitly men in
the mountains to hold the passes and watch the
enemy. The “boys” brought with themtrom 1,000
to 1,500 head of cattle.
The rumor that a fight had taken place at Echo
Canon, is manifestly untrue, as much later advices
received direct from the camp have made no men
tion of any such event.
Several more “sermons’’ preached by the elders
and others at Salt Lake city are published. John
Taylor, one of the Twelve Apostles, in his discourse
in the Tabernacle, concludes thus :
And now, having been forced from the United
States, after having been driven time and time
again froin our homes by our murderous enemies :
having fulfilled all the requirements that God or
man could require of us, and kept every law ne
cessary for us to obey, after all this, and more,
I say, shall we suffer those poor, miserable infernal
scoundrels to come here and infringe upon our sa
cred rights ?
[“No!” resounded throughout the Tabernacle,
making the walls of the building tremble.]
No ! it shall be the “Kingdom of God or nothing,”
with us* That is my text, I believe, and we Will
stick to it, we will maintain it, and in the name of
Isreal’s God, the kingdom of God shall roll on, and
all the powers of earth and hell cannot stop its pro
gres9; it is onward, onward, onward, from this time
henceforth, to all eternity. [ V T oices of “ Amen.’’]
“ Are you not afraid of being killed ?” you may
ask me. No. Great conscien e—who cares about
being killed ? They cannot kill you. They may
shoot a ball into you and your body may fall, but
will live. Who cares about dying? We are asso
ciated with eternal principles; they are within us
as a well springing up to eternal life, we have be
gun to live forever.
Who would be afraid of a poor, miserable soldier,
a man that gets eight dollars a month for killing
people—and a miserable butcher at that, one of the
poorest curses in creation? Mean as tbe. Ameri
cans are, they will not, many of them, hire for sol
diers, but the government must hire foreigners tp
eight dollars a month to come out here to kill us.
Who is afraid of them ? Let them come on or stay
and wiggle, it is all right.
We are the Saints of God; we have the kingdom
of God, and the devils in hell and all the wicked
men on earth cannot take it from us. We shall rulo
and have dominion in the earth and they cannot
help themselves.
Important to Railroad Companies.—Avery
important principle to railroad companies, as well
as to the whole travelling public, was ruled by
Judge Woodward, of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, in the long contested suit of O’Brien vs.
the Philadelphia, WilmingtOD and Baltimore Rail
road Company. The Philadelphia Ledger says :
Tbesu.it was brought for damages for peisonal in
juries sustained by the plaintiff while crossing in a
two horse wagon the track of the railroad. The
case was prosecuted and defended by several of our
ablest counsel, and the trial occupied three or four
days, resulting in a verdict for the defendant*, eve
ry point being elaborately discussed. Judge Wood
ward charged the jury substantially as follows : •* Ist.
That a person about to cross a railroad track, is in
duty bound to stop and look in both directions, and
listen before crossing. 2d. That if the plaintiff con
tribated in the slightest degree to the accident iu
question, he could not recover, although the railroad
company were negligent.” This, in our opinion, is
not only good law. but common sense. The idea
that has so long prevailed that railroad companies
are to be made responsible for ail the consequences
from collisions ou the lines of their respective roads,
whether they were negligent m attending to their
duties or not. needed the check which Judge Wood
ward, in his ruling has given it. Heretofore, the
tendency of the decisions of courts and verdicts of
juries have alt been in the wrong directions. In
stead of tending to make private travel careful in
crossing the tracks of railroads, the disposition to
consider the railroad company always in the wrong,
and the individual always the victim, awarding
him promptly full, ad sometimes exemplary da- j
damages, has tended to make* them reckless of the ‘
damages that may ensue to the railway compan> s j
property, and the lives of their passengers and em !
ployees. If courts and juries had set out in .the i
first establishment of railroads with the principle of i
holding private travel liable for damages to rail
road companies and their passengers the cumber of
accidents would no doubt have been greatly lessen
ed. The tendency has been not only to make indi
viduals criminally care teas, but has even opened
the door to the malicious and knavish, to put, com
paratively . valueless property, in the sLape of borse
flesh and cattle, in the of danger, that a good
round price might be obtained, and perhaps some
private pique and malicious purpose gratified The
Wilmington Railroad Company has ae.ed wisely in
resisting this wrong, and Judge Woodward has done
himself signal credit in righting it.
The Ice Crop.—Aii speculation in regard to the
crop, at the North at least, may now be set

boat, which had been undergoing repairs. It was
the intention of the owners, when both boats were
ready, to bring them down together, aud lake all
the stores for the Fort at a single trip, thus avoiding
the necessity of returning. This arrangement
would, of course, occasion some delay iu the opera
tions of the expedition. It would have been a very
serious inconvenience had not the captain of the
“Monterey” kindly given Lieut. Ives permission to
hire his crew by the day until the steamboats arriv
ed.
The work had to be conducted under the greatest
disadvantage. The whole surface of the country is
submerged by the spring tides, and the soil, a soft
tenacious clay, hardly ever dries before another
overflow. It was necessary to excavate iu this soft
clay earth a pi large enough to hold the ways of a
steamboat, and allow men to work beneath*her in
rlvjLng her pieces together. The logs for the ways
had to be hauled a distance of nearly two miles
through the mud, and over a surface intersected by
numberless gu lies. The work was, however, al
last completed, and the boat was launched on the
night of December 3Uth, four weeks from the day
on which the expedition arrived at the mouth of the
Ctdorado.
In his letter cf January stb, Lieut. Ivea reports
his arrival at Fort Yuma on that day, having left
his steamer the night before at ape nt forty miles
below. Thirty-five miles from the mouth, on his
voyage up, ho met a communication from the De
part incut, -which determined him to continue, with
out stopping, to the head 01 navigation, and after
making the required 1 econnoissance, return to Fort
Yuma and report the result.
The steamer had admirably answered the pur
pose for which she wes intended. Between the
mouth of tue river and Fort Yuma, the navigation is
very difficult. Steamboats, with experienced pi
lots, can perform their trips rugularly, but frequent
ly are unable to average more than twenty five or
thirty miles per day. The velocity of the current
during January, although the water is at its lowest
stage, isaboui three miles an hour.
The river is very crooked, and filled with shoals,
snags, and sand-bars. Tbe channel is constantly
changing, and tbe best pilots cannot avoid running
tht ir boats aground many times a day. It is be
leived that above Fort Yuma there are fewer diffi
culties to be met with than below'.
The mule train arrived safely at Fort Yuma on
the 20lh December.
Washington Items. —The board appointed by
the War Department to examine Sharp’s breech load
ing pietois, of a similar construction to the breech
loading carbine, have made a report. Tbe question
They sought to solve was how long the pistols could
be used without cleaning. After twenty-six shofr
with the eight-inch and thirteen 1 with the ten-inch
pistol, the movable or sliding breech became so foul
as to work with difficulty, and to render further ex
periment impracticable. Ten shots were fired in one
minute.

The majority of the Senate committee on territo
ries are preparing a report and a biil rur the admis
sion of Kansas into the Union, under the Lecomp
ton constitution. They are acting without reference
to the question whether the free State or pro-slave
ry party has the Legislature and State officers. In
reference to Senator Douglas tbe chairman of the
committee, who has illness in bis family, the report
will probably not be made before Thursday in order
to give him time to prepare his dissenting views.—
Messrs. Wade ana Coflamer w ill unite in a third re
port.
It is clarely understood that iu the event of the
persistent attempts of the, tirsfc to pass the Minne
sota State bdl, a proposition will be made to unite
it with the Kansas measure* that the sucess of the
one may depend on the passage of Urn other. Such
at least is the present progronuue.
A democratic caucus was held iu tiie liall of the
House last night. Mr. John Cochran was chairman
aud Mr. Regan acted as secretary. Owing to the
storm the meeting was comparatively small but all
sections of- the country were represented. Good
feeling generally prevailed. It was a gathering
preliminary to a more perfect organization with a
vit-w to shaping the business of legislation and ac
ting uuderstandingly iu the future A committee
of five was directed to be appointed by the chair
man *o consult and advise as to the propriety of
calling meetings whenever occasion may require a
definite plan of action on important public meas
ures. The debate oa the occasion incidentally in
volved the Kansas question, but the general senti
ment, expn 3ed was that the peace and harmony of
the Union and of the State depend on the preserva
tion of the nationality of the democratic party.
The Senate caucus have also agreed on a plan of
action relative to business.
The House select committee on Kansas affairs
will hold their first meeting 011 Monday night.
Gen. Sam Houston, it in understood, has decided
to cast his future fortunes with the incipient State
of Arizona, from which he will perhaps b a the first
Senator. There is little doubt that this Territory
will acquire population with great rapidity, and
be soon knocking for admission at the daor of the
Union.
’lt appears from the books of the Treasury De
partment that the totai amount of receipts into the
treasury, from March 3, 1789, (wherf the Constitu
tion of the United States went into operation) to
the first of July, 1857, was $1,955,000,000. The ex
penditures for the naval and military services
amounted to SS24,OUO,UUO; for the civil lift to $119,-
000,000 ; for Revolutionary aud other pensions to
$77,300,000; for the public debt to $598,000,000.
Washington Items. —At the Democratic caucus
on Saturday night, an attempt was made to read out
61 the party the Douglas Democrats. There was a
sharp altercation between Barksdale,of Mississippi,
and Marshall, of Illinois. The Caucus adjourned to
prevent trouble. Only thirty members it is said
attended. A resolution was-adopted, appointing a
Committee to consider what can be done for the
salvation of Lteou.pton and the party, to report on
Wednesday night, to which time the caucus ad
journed.
The programme baa been made out I'or the pas
sage through the Senate, at an early day, of the Le
compton Constitution, and an accompanying bill
for the admission of Kansas into the Union as a
State under it. This week the Committee on Ter
ritories of that body, to which the special message
o f the President on the subject was referred, .will
make a report embodying the recommendations of
that message. Judge Douglas is preparing a mi
nority report. It is now authoritatively asserted
that Gen. Calhoun will withhold any decision upon
the result of the election of State officers and the
State Legislature, till after the admission of Kansas
as a State. It such a course is pursued it will be
hard to convince either party that a fraud of some
kind is not contemplated.
Gen. Harney and Cot. Sumner arrived at Wash
ington on Satuiday night, direct from Port Leaven

report themselves in Washington as early as possi
ble. The Genera! reports every thing quiet fn the
Territory, and says he apprehends no further difli

Sumner here, has reference to the arrangements for
the spring and summer campaign against the Mor

cy adopted. The administration is watting to see
what Congress intends to do in relation to the addi

The President has addressed a letter to the Rich

Washington Items. —The House Seiect Com
mittee on Kansas had a meeting on Monday after
noon, and had a stormy time of it The majority

them *ne promotion of (M. .* in - .1 Ir> - .'oninand

Officer at New York was confirmed. The effort of
Mr. Seward t<s have the injunction of secrecy re
moved from the debates in thecase of the removal
of John McKenu and the appointment of District
Attoraey Sedgwick was defeated by a large vote.
The Massachusetts members and people are all
against Wolcott. The report and genera! belief is
that he received money, and has the money in his
possession. It is not believed that he disbursed it
for the purpose of influencing the members of Con
gress on the tariff question. His answers are clear
on this point. But the committee say he might
have received the money honestly, and transferred
it to others who used it for corrupt purposes. So
they wish to trace the money.
Mr. Wolcott will apply to the Supreme Court for
a writ of habeas carpus.'and it will be granted In
former cases the federal courts refused the writ to
applicants who were in the custody of the sergeant,
at-arms. But where the man is in jail, it wilt be a
different question. Still it is probable that the
United Btates courts will affirm tne power of the
House.
Mr Stanton fated that the duration of the con
finement of Mr Wolcott would be indefinite. But
it is generally understood that the power of the
House ceases, with their own ex * fence, 011 the ‘had
March. 1858. ,
The Democratic eaneueof members of tne House

Another Sad of Stock Oamruno and’
j Embezzlement —The Hartford ’(Conn.) Pressfur
: mshe the particulars of an embezzlement by \V. S
I Carter, a clerk in the treasury office of that State,
he having abstracted from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO or more
of the bHls of” the Hartford County Bank, sent in
for tin- purpose of being burnt,, but which he put
•fgain in circulation. The officers of the bank did
not, a 8 is the custom, mutilate the biffs before they
wore sent in. Mr. Carter ha 4 made a voluntary
oonfesfiion, of which the Pr ess says :
I! is the old story of speculating in stocks, which
lies led so many to ruin. He tolls us that when he
entered the treasury office he was barely twenty
years of age, and of course without the fixed habits
or principles Os persons morc- advanced in life. His
associations brought him in contact with men who
were constrantly -dealing in stocks, and a knowl
edge of their gains induced him to invest his sav
ings, then amounting to something over a thousand
dollars, in a similar manner. His first operations
were successful—his money soon doubled, and in a
short time again doubled, and his successes seduced
him into more extensive operations. What he con
sidered to be a favorable opening for an investment
of about SBOO occurred to him on h day when he had
uot the money, and he U3ed money belonging to the
State—this was his first offence.
In this way from time to time he was led on until
he had used from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO of the funds cf
the State, balancing his account byffiis own memo
randum check, which, of course, he expected to
make good. He excused himself to his own con
science by saying, “the banks pay no interest on
this money, and if I only put back what I take there
will be no harm done—l may as well have the use
of the money as the banks.”’
Things went on in tins way until the first Monday
in April, 1854. With it came the State election and
the success of men whom he knew would displace
him from the position he then held, and an expo
sure was sure to follow uuless the funds were re
placed. Stoc ks had gone out of sight, and he had
lost ail he had taken—and then for the first time he
began to appreciate the fact that he had committed
a crime. What to do he did not know—once he went
to New York to lake the steamer for Europe, but
the steamer sailed, he was not on board, and he
again returned to Hartford. The rest is already
known to the public. It was to make his account
good, where discovery would soon be made if things
were left as they then were, that the bills of the bank
were abstracted and used.
The amount of bills thus taken is not accurately
known. It is somewhere from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO
Mr. Carter tt-l’s uh that some months since he form
ed a resolution t-o disclose the whole matter, as a re
lief to his own conscience as well as to relieve other
parties from Mtepioion which might attach to them.
One thing and another has prevented him from do
ing so, but wlren he received the summons to ap
pear before the grand jurors he resolved to “ make
a clean breast of it,” and has done so voluntarily.
No other person is implicated in the least—he takes
the whole matter upon himself. So far as iu his
power Mr. Carter has made restitution to the bank,
having assigned lo them alt his assets cf any char
acter whatever.
This is the story —it was told us with evident sin
oerity, and we have no doubt of its truth. It car
ries with it its own comment, warning all to abstain
from the first departure from the path of rectitude.
Life in Texas —A Retired Editor. —George
W. Kendall., one of the proprietors of the New Or
leans Picayune, owns large estates in Texas. Wri
ting to a friend in Boston, he describes his mode of
life as fob owe :
You may, perhaps, wish to learn the mode and
manner of my life hereaways; let me enlighten you.
Three days in the week I ordinarily pass at my
rancho here, three or four miles from New Brun
fels with my family, two days I spend at the Estan
cia, a place of mine, thirty miles west, and where ‘
my flocks of sheen are pastured; and the other two
I am on the road backwards and forwards, my con
veyance an old Jersey wagon, with two trusty
horses. .There is a gap of eight miles on the road
without a house, and another-of twelve ; yet the way
is not lonesome. I never pass over it without see
ing an abundance of deer, turkeys, ducks, par
tridges, and the like; I carry alongside of me a
double barrel gun, a Sharp’s rifle, and one of Colt's
revolvers, and some kind of game is sure to grace
my wagon both going and coming.
My sheep now number some 3,000, and finer
flocks you never set eyes upon. Iu May, I hope to
,be able to count upwards of 4,000, as my lambs
come in April. I have besides, a fine gang of brood
mares, besides some forty cows, and like the
elder Mr. Norvel, “to feed my flock aud increase
my store,” is now “my constant care.” Did I not
once b li you, that I laid much rather see my lambs
skipping upon the hills and playing in the valleys
than to witness the pirouettes and entrechats of the
best crops de ballet that ever existed ? If I did not
say as much to you, it is nevertheless true. I have
seen a good deal In my day, Jim—the world, the
elephant, Ac*., but never saw auything which afford
ed me so much real enjoyment as my flocks, when
doing well And office I have been here on the
spot in person, now nearly two years, I have had
extraordinary good luck; I have not lost two per
cent, of ray sheep per aunuin, and when I tell you
that twenty per cent, is the average loss the world
over, you may well imagine that my success is re
markable.
1 never sell a ewe or anything which produces ; I
have pasturage for 20,000 sheep and any number
of horses and cattle, and to see all this apace cover
ed is now what lam working for. I don’t bother
ray mind a moment about Kansas, or Brigham
Young, or politics of any kind—don’t care who is
President —fear God and hate the Indians—am in
different about Walker and the devil—try to keep
my feet warm and head cool—and smoke my pipe
in peaee*with ail mankind.
Here, notwithstanding we occasionally have a
cold aud blustering norther, our climate is delicious;
I am now writing on this Ist January, A. D., 1858,
sitting in my shirt sleeves, doors and windows wide
open, no fire, and robbins and other summer birds
singing in the green live oaks of my yard. Think
of that, all muffled us as you are, and weep. And
then here among the mountains we have no fevers,
no chills, no consumption, no sickness of any kind,

Business and Speculation at Cincinnati.—
According to the Cincinnati Gazettee Many of
those in that city who, a few weeks ago, were cry
ng cut about dull times, predicting a further gener
al smash of business, are now engaged with vigor
in the work of inflation, and it fears they will overdo
the thing. It further remarks:
Hogs that were dull a few weeks ago at $3.80 a
94, are now saleable at about 6, with products high
in proportion. This is n t the result of a short crop,
for the supply is fully as large ns anybody had rea
son to anticipate; but it is attributable mainly to a
.revival of business, which in due time, will be ex
perienced generally. Move produce of the coun
try at prices corresponding with those at which pro
visions are going, or even at much lower rates, and
it will not take long to put dry goods men, manu
facturers, &c.,on their feet. It will be well provi
did men profit by the experience of the last six
mouths, otherwise, there may be a reaction. At all
events, the indications are that croaking, for the fu
ture, will not pay and those who prepare to do a full
average business, and take care to move within
the bounds of prudence, will make the most money.

Remedy for Leaks—A correspondent of the
Lynn News says :—“Some years ago I had a leak
ing ‘L ’ Every northeast storm drove its waters in.
I made a composition of four pounds of rosin, one
pint linseed oil, and one ounce red lead, applied it
hot with a brush to the part where the L joined the
main house. It has never leaked since. I then re
commended the composition to my neighbor, who
had a Lutheran window which leaked badly. He
applied it and the leak stopped. I made my water
cask tight by thiß composition, and have recom

having occured ou board the brig Helen Js no,
of this port, on the passage from Boston to Hondu
ras:
“ CapL Nickerson relates a singular advent me
with the steward of bi>veooei, which somewhat eu
livcued the usual dull incjivtcay us It
appear that a white man, having an American pro
teciion, aud giving his name as Hawqg Crosv-ell, of
UestDenuii, Cape Cod, skipped' at this port as

was appointed to ins duty, and everything went on
without suspicion.
Tlia voyage continued prosperously, ami nyttiiiMr

leakiug iu a vaiy unusual qmtmti’, and becoming
daily beautifully leas by an operation which tu., h t
be compared to some late financial maaccuvcriuo
ashore. It seems, however, that after acute days
oueoftlie crew accidentaliy discovered that lac
cargo iu the hold had beeu brokau into, audau emp
ty basket of champagne was found, with other in
dicationa of robbery. Tbe captain's attention was
immediately called to the fact, and ho of course sus
pected the orew of committing the depredation,
and instantly called them to account, but notkiug
could be elicited from the investigation to fix the
crime of any of the orew, who stoutly denied all
knowledge id the matter. Thus the affair rested
uutil their arrival atTeuxiilo, tweuty two days alter
leaving Boston.
On the first night alter anchoring, the crew were
suddenly startled by tbe appearance in tbe forcas
tle of the lost steward, and so firmly convinced w ere
the trightened sailors of the death of their shipmate
that they all instantly fled on deck from the suppos
ed apparation, and told the captain. These tears
however, were soon quieted, for the steward,
had really appeared, and upon being questioned,
confessed that ho had seoreted tumself iu the hold
on the first day ou\ under the influence of delirura
tremens, and tor 22 days following had lived luxu

The name of Crowell is probably assumed, as the

It is not oui object to expose all the mistakes of
tbe President's lengthy message. The self-respect
ot freemen requires, however, that they resist. Ihe
attempts of Executive power to hide truth or to
subvert justice. “The King can do uo wrong’’ is a
holy’maxim of ‘‘ancient liberty.” Its meauiug is no
as sycophants have urged, that whatever the chiei
Executive of a nation or a party iusists on shall
pass lor right, but that freeman will not permit their
ruler, be be calleu King, or Governor, or I’resident,
to use the pres ige and power of Ins office to violate
right. Before Kansas is done with the people of the
United States will have taught their rulers and their
representatives this solemn lesson.
These are a lew of the errors into which the false
road ot expediency has led the Federal Executive
“W e are tired of Kansas.” Yes, we are tired of
Kansas . but on this new issue we are, in the ques
tion of Kansas, fighting for our own hearth-stones
and for our altars. When the liberties of a people
are assailed, and despotism Mtretehes out its horrid
claws, the air is full of voices, crying ‘ we arc tired
of municipal corruption,” “we are tired ol politi
cal agitation,” “puDlic affairs take up too much of
our time.” Then a people t .ke to silks and r.bbons,
and gewgaw ; th ty go to hear tiddlers and opera
singers, they eat, aud play, aud hunt for sudden
fortunes, and so they lose liie independence of soul
end the love of freedom that made their forefathers
heroes. Our country is too yi ung for this. The
whirlwind is beginning. Wait a little and you will
feel the earthquake. Alter that the air will ha purer
for a while!
Washinuton Items.— The House Kansas Inves
tigating Committee at their meeting on Monday
voted down all inquiries into the legality of the
votes, the returns, the frauds, dtc , of the election
held on the 4th of January last. Tire committee
was to meet last night, when the Anfi-Lecompton
itea would renew propositions for a full invest iga
tion and for examining witnesses. The indications
are that these propositions will be voted down, and
that tbe Committee, as now constituted, will give
up tbe attempt to prosecute the investigation
Tbe Senate Committee on Territories will report
on Monday. There will be three reports : that of
the majority in favor of Lecompton, written by Mr.
Green, of Missouri; that of the minority against
Lecompton, written by Mr. Collamer, of Vermont,
and signed by birn and Mr. Wade, of Ohio; anrl a
third report against Leoompton by Judge, Douglas.
The two lasrwill arrive at the same contusions by
slightly different courses of reasoning. The same ■
committee will also report a bill to organize the
Territory of Arizona, which has been delayed by
some trouble about the boundaries.
Tbe House Committee on Territories have pre
pared a bill to organize anew Territory out of that
part of Utah, lying west of Bait Lake, to be called
Carson Territory.
The few who thought, at the commencement of
the present session, that it would terminate in May
have reluctantly given up this hope. The main ap
propriation bills, the Kansas question, tbe Utah
question,eight investigating committees, the cofiiti
cation of the revenue laws, the Clayton-Bulwer”
controversy, the Paragua difficulty, and many o’h
or questions equally important and which will give
rise to debate, have yet to be disposed of in either
House. The six or seven hundred reports from the
Court of Claims which v/Ul come up are excluded
from the consideration, as there seems to be no
disposition on the part of the House at least to give
them any large amount of attention. It is hardly
probable, with these facts in view that Congress
will adjourn sine die before August.
A reclamation lias been made before tbe Depart
ment of State against the British government, by
Mr. J. A. Machado, of New York, for the illegal
seizure of the ship Thomas Watson, on the coast of
Africa, iu September laHt, by Iheßritish warsleamei
Bloodhound. This vessel was nearly full with a
cargo of palm oil when seized aud carried Into Se.r
ra Leone ; but tailing to establish any cluirge against
tbe vessel, Urn civil authorities took no notice of the
seizure and she was discharged.
Another claim is also made for the unlawful seiz
ure of tbe bark Mary Varney, with a full cargo ot
lawful merchandise, which ou examination Vefore
the British Vice-Admiralty Court, was released.
The Mount Vernon Purchase. —The present
position of Virginia, iu reference to this glorious
gnd patriotic project, is by uo meaus enviable. A
Virginia editor, in the capital of the Old Dominion,
is denouncing and the Virginia Legislature hesita
Cng to pass the bill to secure the home and the grave
ofWashington as tbe pilgrim shrine us America,
and the former, iu his insane hostility to the project
even traduces and vilifies the gifted Everett, on the
eve of his elicited visit to Richmond, there, as else
where, to lavish all the wealth of his eloquence in
order to embalm tbe memory and consecrat e the tom 0
of the Father of cur Country. But white such is
the nnfifial and ungrateful ariiiudo of Washington's
mother and State, State after Bta‘e, North and
South of the Potomac, is freely contributing to the
sacred fund, which is to render Mount Vernon the
Mecca of America— Charleston Co“rkr.
Hobkid Affair.— On last Thursday night, about
9 o’clock, at the auction room a few doors below
the Choice Hotel, a negro standing in the doorway
was shot by eome one, as yet uukuqwn. Tbe room
was filled with people and it is supposed that the
murderous villian intended to kill some gentleman

Arizona —Henry P. SweeHand, of California,
who recently passed through Arizona, says:
I became acquainted with nearly all the Ameri

from Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. They art

Wo understand that the agreement among the
banks to discontinue the payment of interest upon

with a lair prospected concurrence iu the action,
which for the moral effect attending it, we trust may
be made unanimous.

The banking movement,lt will be seen, shows
bat little change us compared With the previous
week. The decrease iu the specie line is smaller
ilmn was ex peeled, from the tact that the week
edimnenedd on a falling avera re, and it was kuowu
t>mt there had been domestic drafts to quite a large
amount upon us during the week. Wc commence
the present wet k with a California instalment of
$1,359,000, bo thut tbe amount now in bank must
exceed thirty one million , as an offset to which,
however, the exports of the present week w ill pn>*
bably be somewhat important, notwithstanding the
dOotlrre in the prices ot foreign exchange.
The deposits fer the first'. iir.e since the Ist of Jan

Ibw the maximum < u the Bui of August last. The
line is still about nine, millions leas than it was last
year at this time, against an aggregate of nearly
eleven millions more of capital and deposits now
than there was tiTen. In the present remarkably
strong* condition of the banks, the present slow
ritro of increase in the abundance of paper, affords
strong proof ot the general depression in trade.—

thirty-two large orient ial pearls, pronounced l.y con

and sublime satisfaction in life than that of discov

for a fnrte, but human patience has its limits. “No,”

therp is one thing which does fill me w itii a serene
