COLUMBUS: Tnruday MornliiK, Nnv. 4> 1556, • liAIIGKST CITY CIRCULATION. Manuiacturero’ and Meohamc#’ Bank. Tlusfe was a good dual of excitement in this city yesterday about this Bank, which failed to open its doors as usual, and, various were the conjectures us to its probable condition, financially. During the forenoon, many anx ious faces might bo seen in front of the en trance, with one hand in the pocket, apparent ly anxiously awaiting the opening of the insti tution. It did not open, however, and they finally dispersed, giviug the thing up as a hopeless case. It is supposod by many to be utterly bursted. We have heard of several individuals who hold its bills for over $2,000. What its condition is no one seems at all in formed. We saw its bills changing hands as low as 25 cents on the dollar. We are disposed to think the case not so bad as to justify so great a sacrifice. It is reasonable to supposo its Htockbolders good for at least ha'f of its liabilities. Everybody accords to Dr. Taylor, its President, the greatest integrity, and think the difficulty into which the Bank has gotten, ii from deception practised upon him by par ties at n distance, in which he had placed un deserved confidence. We advise all who can do so, to hold on to its bills. We have taken steps to obtain the names of its Stock holders, and when obtained, shall give them to the public, when they will bo better able to judge of the value of its issues. Superior Court. The full term of this court, Judge Worrell, presiding, convened in this city yesterday morning, and after organizing, adjourned over till 9 o’clock Wednesday, in order to give eve ry man a fair shake at the election which comes off to-day. We learn that Dr. Taylor was moved from West Point to the residence of his brother-in luvv, Mr. Iwwther, in Russell county, yester day. llis recovery is yet in doubt, liis mind is said to be much deranged. Later from lluntnn. By the schooner Mary, Capt. Stevens, from Iluatan Island, the New Orleans Picayune has ’ itelligence of an interesting character. The Mary brings advices to the J Bth inst. The news of the recent treaty between Hon duras and England reached liuatan on the 17th, and had caused considerable excitement. The public opinion was almost unanimous against the recognition of the sovereignty of Honduras, and a large portion of the inhabi tants were determined to resist the measure if it were forced upon them. Many were in fa vor of endeavoring to become an independent republic. The island is inhabited by about •>|soo people—a large portion of them blacks, but at! speaking tbo English language, the same as those of St. Andrew’s and l’roviden cio, nearer to the New Granada coast. Import nnl Decision. Wo find in the South Carolinian, of Colum bia, that the celebrated Willis case, of Harn well, has been decided in favor of the heirs at law, and aguinst the will. It will be remem bered, perhaps, for much was said about it at the time, that Mr. Willis carried a colored wo man on withhim to Ohio, and there oxecutoda will, bequeathing to her and her children all the property in this State, died a lew days af ter. The claim of this colored family under the will was asserted to the property, and the case coming up for trial before Judge O’Neal!, at the late term of Court at Barnwell, and the will having been contested upon the grounds ol fraud, insanity, uudue iniiueuce, audits op position to the policy of this State, ns declared by the Act of 1811, the jury gavo a verdict against its validity. Messrs. Bellinger & Bauskett, Counsellors for tho claimants, have given uoticc of an appeal, and the motion fora new trial will be argued at Columbia iu Decem ber next.— Standard. 1 ♦’ The foreign nows contained in tho private letters by tho Arabia, gives cause for appre hension that the Bank of Prance will yet sus pended, or that there will be an explosion of the Credit Mobiler. Tho former report of this suspension grew out of tho fact that directors bail resolved upon tho measure, subject to tho approval of tho Emperor, but the latter inter posed his veto. Private letters state that per sons in Franco had been iu momentary expec tation of a suspension of specie payment, but up to the hour of the departure of the Arabia it had not occurred. Still, though interest lmd boon increased to (1 per cent, for short lulls, and 7 per cent for throe months, it was not. thought possible that the crisis could bo avoided. The financial trouble*, it is expect ed, will end in political troubles, and tho as pect of Europe is somewhat troubled. The mouotury panic in Franco would seem to have been imparted by the Arabia to New York, and tho good people of Gotham seem to bo very much disturbed. The Herald says that the stock markot opened on the morning >i the 27th with a panic ; that there was a great wish to soli stocks, and quite a fall in prices was incurred ; that the money market .s rapidly tightening ; that shorts ou time be giu to look sharp after their contracts : that Wall-street exhibits apprehension, and that nt the secoud Board prices were lower than at the first. The New York Express say* that Wall-street opened witli an Hast wind upon that day, and that while men who have no trouble were borrowing it, this seemed to be the only kind of borrowing for which there was much facility. The Journal of Commerce mentions also the failuro of J. Beck & Cos., tamous di\v goods dealers in Broadway, which had the effect of inspiring a more decided feel ing of concern, more especially us it was only one of three failures that were announced, but they are, perhaps, those of which advices have already been given by telegraph. Gov. Johnson has issued his Proclamation calling upon nil Banks In the State to make a return of their condition on the day of tho reg ular weekly meeting of the directors noxt, pre ceding tho 24th of October. Gov. Johnson has also issued a Proclama tion, which appears iu our Savauuoh exchanges, that he has subscribed $500,000, in behalf of the State of Georgia to the Atlantic and Gulf Ball Road, in compliance with tho requisitions of the Act of incorporation. An election for Ikniue directors, will be hold on tho 4th day of ■ December in Milledgcvillo.— Atlanta Intelli- V ‘fencer. Commercial Accounts by tho Atlantic. From the Loudon Times City Article. London, Oct. 14. The English Funds experienced a further fall to day of jj per cent. This was the first day for the payment of the dividends, and a large proportion of the heavy advances obtain ed from the Bank of England during the shut ting season had to he repaid. In several cases a renewal was desired, but it was for a longer period than seven days, and this announce ment was the cause of the depression during the afternoon. Under existing circumstances, support to the Stock Exchange could only be afforded at the cost of some fresh restrictions on the dividends of commercial paper. The announcement that the ultimatum is under stood to have been sent on Saturday to tho King of Naples, and that its non-aceptance will bo allowed by the recall of the English and French representatives and tho dispatch there of the combined fleets, is stated to have creat ed the increase depression iu the French Funds. The letters from Paris to-day confirms the moro favorable reports regarding the position of the Bank of France, and their stock of bul lion is alleged to Lave been increased nearly £400,000 since the publication of their last monthly return. Jt is also stated that tho Bank does not at present contemplate any new measures of restoration. The arrivals of gold from Australia and America received arc likely to afford a suf ficient supply to meet tho Continental demand during tho next few days. No further with drawals have taken place from the Bank. The London Times monetary article of Mon day evening, the 13th, notices that the reports from tho manufacturing towns for the past week confirm all that has been said regarding the extent to which the trade of the country is independent of the movement of the Discount market. In no quarter is there the slightest indication of the advance to six and seven per cent, having interfered with the regular course of operations. At Manchester prices have beenfairly maintained, and goods for the most part are firmly held At Birmingham there has been full employment, and general pros pects are encouraging. Foreign orders are re ceived to an average extent, while from Aus tralia the demand is active. For irou previous quotations are still maintained by tho leading firms, although there is much underselling. Tho Notingham advices describe an active bu siness both in lace and hosiery, with a tenden cy to higher prices. In the woolen districts there is great steadiness, the home demand be ing satisfactory. The Irish linen markets have again been without variation. The advices from Bombay, of date Septein her 12, are filled with accounts of the prepara tions made by the Indian aud British Govern ments to invade Persia. The reason of this invasion is the reported occupation of Herat by the Persian troops. A fleet is to be sent to the Persian Gulf with certain demands, which it is not expected the Shan will accede to, whereupon an invading forco is to be sent to take possession of Kurrack and Bushire, as a basis of operations against Teheran. Six re giments of infantry, and three of cavalry, with field and seigo trains, are already detailed for land scrvico. The fleet will number 22 steam ers, with a large number of gun boats. In addition to these preparations large quantities of ammunition are being sent up the Indus to the direct assistance of Dost Mahomed and the Affghan party in Herat. It is expected that Persia will fight, but that she must speedily fall before the British force. Colton Circular of T. J. Stewart <j’ Cos., for the I’ersia, which sailed last Wednesday. The market closed firmly to.day at twelve and half cents for Middling Uplands, being three-eighths of a cent under our quotations per Baltic, having since that date after reach ing 13 cents buoyant, fallen to 12J on the 23d instant. Tho decline rose from tho arrival at about the same period of a large amount of cotton, which consignees had ordersjto soli “to arrive,” or from the wharf, and was chiefly about 22d and 23d instants. Those sales, and the advices per Arabia from Liverpool to lltli instant, received on on 2 lth, have caused a firmer feeling to prevail, so that to proceed in business, buyers have been forced to pay an advance of nearly one-half cent. The sales of the first week were 0,060 bales; of the week ending ou Saturday evening, 8,000; and yes terduy 1,000 bales. Although the bulk of the business has been for the home trade, expor ters have participated aud are uow in market. We advised you that no damage had been done to the crop as a whole, by tho frosts ol’ the Ist and 3d instants, except in partail in stances and on moist bottom lands. Wo only altudo to this from the fact that several au thorities still insist on the correctness of their advices of killing frosts at those dates. The frosts wero doubtless sufficiently severe to open half matured bolls, and this, with tho natural effect of the drouth, has given full employment to the force of planters. They write us as if the opening was spontaneous — “Our fields are suddenly white aud argue, a loss of the usual future top growth from the white frosts. In dry seasons like the present, tho plant yields earlier, and of course, the product is less. We have advices of rain aud colder weather from Memphis ou the 13th; aud from Georgia and South Carolina, of rains between the 16th and 18th instants. The cut ting off of French credits by the Persia* alarmed cotton factors at New Orleans, and they submitted to -jo, decline up to 21st inst. In other markets, any serious fall was arrested by the purchase for planters’ account. The extreme estimates by those out of cotton, is 3,000,000 bales. Those now interested, and growers, put the crop between 2,500,000 and 2,050,000 bales. A visit to Mrs. James K. Polk. One of the mauy pleasing incidents (says the Nashville Union) of the recent Convention was the well-conceived and appropriate visit, on Monday evening last, of tho various milita ry companies, escorted by the Union Guard*, to the residence of the estimable relect of the late President, J. K. Polk. The companies ap proached tho grounds by the main entrance on Church street, and filed through the yard, with utarkod precision and decorum, paying their respects, and passing out in the same order in which thoy entered. Such manifestations of respect were no less appropriate on the part of the military than they were gratifying to tho distinguished lady. The Union adds: “Having been so much identified with pub lic life, aud partaken so fully of the sentiment of her illustrous husband, for long years the pride and support of the Democratic party, it is but natural that she should continue to feel a lively interest in tho success of the Democra cy ami the consequent ascendency of its prin ciples. But whilst she is a cordial well-wisher for the triumph of our party on this and all other occasions, she maintains inviolate that lady-like reserve and abstinence from all overt political action, so becoming to one of her age aud position in the esteem of the Amer ican people irrespective of party. Wo trust that she may be long spared by the decree of a kind Providence, a noble specimen of our Country-women, to adorn society with her ac complishments and virtue, and as a surviving link between her distinguished husband and the gonoratien that is coming after him.” flow the President and Vice-President are Elected. The following is a summary of the constitu tional requirements and the acts of Congress upon the election of President and Vive Presi dent of the United States: 1. The electors are chosen by the votes of the people, ou the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. 2. Electors meet on the first Wednesday in December, and cast their votes. They then sign three certificates—send tli _■ messenger with one copy to the President of the Senate at Washington, before te first Wednesday in January—another by mail to the same person, and the third deliver to the United States Dis trict Judge where electors meet. 3. Each State provides by law for filling any vacancy in the Board of Electors, occa sioned by absence, death or resignation. Such of the electors as are present, are generally authorized to fill any vacancy. 4. The Governors give notice to electors of their election before the first Wednesday in December. 5. On the second Wednesday in February, Congress shall be in session, and open the re turns. The president of the Senate shall iu the presence vt tho House of Representatives, open the certificate of returns, and count tho votes. The person having the greatest number of votes for President shall be the President, it such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed. And if no person have such majority, then from the per sons having the highest number not exceeding thiee, on the list of those voted tor as president, the House of Representatives shall choose im mediately, by ballot, the President; the votes snail be taken by States, the representation lroin each State having one vote ; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or mem bers from two-thirds of the States, and a ma jority ot all the States shall be necessary to a choice. 0. It the choice devolve upon the House of Representatives, and they fail to make a choice before the 4th ot March next following, tho Vice President is to act as President. 7. A Vice President may bo elected, or cho sen by the senate, as above provided, before an election or choice of President. *. !he day fixed by Congress for opening and counting the votes of the electors, and in case of its being necessary for the election of President by the House of Representatives, ami of Vice President by the Senate of the United States, is the second Wednesday in February, after the appointment of electors. J. I here is no constitutional provision for the case where there is neither a President or Vice President elected or chosen, in the man ner directed by the Constitution. The act of Congress of 1782 provides that, under such circumstances, there shall be anew election. THE ELECTORAL VOTE. There are so many inquiries after informa tion as to the electoral votes of different States, that we publish the list. Let every one cut it out and preserve it for reference; SIXTEEN FREE STATES.

The New Granada correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following graphic de scription of his prospective tour in that coun try : “live months have passed since 1 left New \ ork, and 1 have not made my fortune yet, nor is it likely 1 ever will in this country of snakes, tigers, spiders, ants, bats, monkeys, alligators, naked niggers and gold. We arriv ed at l’isisi, or Turbo, a small Spanish town, in twenty-one days, and after waiting on a sandy bcacli, with millions of musquitocs, snakes and sand flies, for ten weeks, we were able to procure eight men to pole us up the Atrato l iver as far as the mouth of tho River Sueio, some sixty miles from Pisisi, which took thirteen days. There 1 left the company, and went up the Sueio with three Indians in a small canoe, some seventy miles, to the Antio ohain mountains, and a very pleasant time I had ot it I can assure you. It rained every day and night for twenty days in succession, and then every night and day since. They get up the grandest lightning and thunder there that you can possibly imagine, and the rain is not slow. The lightning is terrible, trees be ing struck in all directions around one; it ap pears as though the very heavens opened 011 one’s devoted head, and 1 need not tell you that tlioro is no need of shower baths here. The rivers have a tremendous current; you have sometimes to asceml rapids of ten to fifteen feet high, and very often you arc pitched out, the canoe sunk, ami provisions lost. Wc were turned over or under twice, and the last time we would all have been drowned had it not been for the timely assistance of a canoe from the shore.” Female Stump Speaker. Miss Carrie Filkins addressed a Fremont meeting nt Dayton, Ohio, a few evenings ago. The Gazette says, “She has been actively engaged in this late canvass in Indiana, and has drawn immense audiences wherever she has spoken. Perhaps no speaker who has participated in the hard fought contest lias addressed so many thousand people, or with such universal acceptance. She has attended all the great muss meetings held in that State, aud has always received the most flattering signs of popular approbation. Among the brilliant galaxy of orators that ad dressed the tens of thousands assembled on the Tippecanoe battle ground, the stand from which she spoke always attracted the largest throng.” Tho Perpetual Motion Delusion, A joiner in Edinburg Scotland, has commun icated to one of the newspapers the process bv which, ho alledgos, he has discovered the long sought for perpetual motion. The invention is statedtobea real self-moving power, which maybe constructed of a size sufficient to drive all kinds of machinery at no greater expenee than a litlo oil. According to tho inventions description, the machine is a wheel propelled by weights, the weights rising when the wheel turns to the angle of forty-five, and leaving three fourths of the wheel empty. There are fourty weights or balls, two of which arc al ways working tho wheel, and the other two are on tho centre or axle, ready to fill the place of the 1 Gives when they bring the wheel to the plumb, and before it loses its power.

Ford, of Illinois, tells a very rich anec dote of oue of the early judges of that State, but the Governor does not put upon record the name of one sensitive and considerate mag istrate At the court over which this judge presided, a man by the name of Green wus convicted of murder, and the judge was obliged to pass sen tence of death upon the culprit. (Jailing on the prisoner to rise, the judge said to him— “Mr. Groen. the jury sny you are guilty of murder, and the law says you are to be hung. 1 want you, and all your friends down on In dian Creek to know that it is not 1 who con demn you.; it is the jury and the law. Mr. Green, at what time, sir, would you like to be bung; the law allows you time for prepara tion?” Tho prisoner replied, “May it please your honor, I am rerdy at auy time; those who kill the body have no power to kill the soul. My preparation is made, and you cart fix the time to suit yourself; it is all the same to me, sir.” “Mr Green,” returned tho judge, “it is a very serious matter to be hung; it can’t hap pen to a man but once in his life, unless the rope should break before bis neck is broke, and you had better take <4l the time you can get. Mr. Clerk, since it makes no difference to Mr. Green when he is hung, just look into the al manac, and see whether this day four weeks comes on Sunday” The clerk looked as he was directed, and re ported that that day four weeks came ou Thurs day. “Then,” said the judge, “Mr. Green, it you please, you will be hung this day four weeks at twelve o’clock.” The attorney-general, James Turney, Esq., here interposed and said, “ May it please the court ou occasions of this sort, it is usual for courts to pronounce a formal sentence, to remind the prisoner of his perilous conditon, to reprove him for his guilt, and to warn him against the judgment in the world to come.” “Oh, Mr. Turney,” said the Judge, “Mr. Green understand the whole matter; he has got to be hung. You understand it Mr. Green, don’t you?” “Certainly,” said the prisoner. “Mr. Sheriff, adjourn tho court.” Four weeks from that day Mr. Green was hung, but not so much to his own satisfaction as his appearance promised on the day of his conviction. Fine Cotton. Our friend Captain 0. 11. Brown has sent us seven large bolls of cotton grown on one limb ; five of them are full blown, and tw’o green. Ho assures us that 50 bolls of this cotton will weigh one pound, and from the size of those sent us, we oannot doubt the fact. We have shown some of the lint to good judges, aud it is pro nounced to be as fine as the silk cotton, though the staple is not as long. The kind is said to be anew variety, propagated from an extraor dinary stalk Capt. B. found iu his field last year. We hope our friend may find the seed to be worth $5 per bushel. Capt. W. A. Walker exhibited to us the oth er day a fine sample of silk cotton raised on his farm this year. It was taken from the bulk after it passed through the gin, and ex cels anything we have seen this year. It might well be taken for Sea Island Cotton. We are informed that C. T. Scaife plants the same variety, aud that it brings one dollar iu the hundred pounds more than the ordinary kinds in the New York market.— Chester Standard. Outrage. On Wednesday ‘night two or three vicious scoundrels forced an entrance into St. John’s Church (Episcopal) and endeavored to destroy the pulpit biblc, liymn book, baptismal font and organ. After doing what injury they could iu the body of the chuich, they ascended the stairs to the singing gallery, where they laid hold of the organ with the intention, it’ is supposed, of destroying it. The noise madein th s attempt awakened a servant iu the reeto ry adjoining, who seeing alight in the church, screamed so loud that the villains heard her and fled. The baptismal font was found this morning outlie floor not much injured, and the pulpit bible and hymn book with several of the leaves torn out and much defaced. The object was evidently not to rob the church, as no effort was made to take away any article of value. The vestry room, which contained the church silver service, surplices and the rector’s private library, was not entered. The servant states that she saw three men iu the church with lighted tapers or matches in their hands, aud that after she gave the alarm luey lied down Monroe street, shouting as if in triumph, over the deed which they had com mitted. The circumstance caused considerable ex citement yesterday morning, aud surmises were rife indicating that politics or denominational sectarianism was the cause. We are assured by the Rector, Prof. Ingraham, that there is no probability of such being thecase. He ex presses himself as satisfied that nothing denom inational or political is connected with the act. —Mobile Tribune. ——■ —♦ Col. Titus and Gen. Walker. A correspondent of the N. Y. Times, in a let ter dated Lecompton, Kansas, October 14tb, says; Col. Titus, the famous leader of the pro slavery party, (and he is one of their bravest officers,) has received a letter from General Quitman, of Mississippi, inviting him to leave Kansas and tako command of the expedition for Central America, and that two hundred aud fifty thousand dollars has been, or will be, provided for the object contemplated—the con quest of Ccutral America, and more slave ter ritory. Tho Colonel expresses liimse'f dis gusted with Kansas, and is very desirous of leaving for a more congenial climate and asso ciations than are found here. The South is look ing towards Ccutral America with more into 7 est than towards this State, in hope of making slave territory in that vicinity with more ease aud with less excitement than the conquest of Kansas is likely to cost them. Col. Titus is nn intimate and personal friend of “ President William Walker,” and sent him from Florida tho first company of soldiers he received. This company numbered about 30 men. Tho Colonel has the reputation in the South of being the most efficient military filli huster that can be found anywhere, and just at this time his valuable services are required, and ho is sent for. Col. Titus has not yet recovered from the Wounds received at the time he was taken prisoner, in September last, by General Lano. He carries about, an once of “free soil load” in his body, at this time, and has but partially recovered the use of his hands and arms.

The public should be card:; to purchase only tho genuine article, manufacturedaul imported by Udolpho Wolfe, which lias the name of tin manufacturer on the Bottle, Cork ard Label. l or sale by till respectable Grocers and Druggists Read the opinions of the New York Press. UDOLPHO WOLFE, 22 Beaver St., New York. From the New York Mercury. FitAim-i.ij.Nr Imitations or Superior Commodities, Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mor al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, ■* would particularly notice a most pcrniciousandinfaiueii pructice adopted l.y unscrupulous dealersof imitatiugatid counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary labels of popular drugs, medicamenta, aud other article of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon tin well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal ming off most destructive and worthless compounds, to tho sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to the character of the man who lias expended thousands ti dollars in bringing the genuine articlo into esteem ami demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as nincli highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their neighbor’s purse ; in fact they are beneath the burglar and highwayman in dignity—for hese latter felons ci dibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in ttie dark. And ought they liojt be rewarded with a puni-li went commensurate with the cowardice of their crime: e were led to these remarks by accidentally observing a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe’s Sclichhm Schnapps. Tte labels were imitated perfectly, witli the slight addition of a few letters to plead technics! avoe!- ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were very similar, and every thing carefully prepare Ito im pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man trim perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber? Assuredly hr is: for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand, that demand may he justly considered a part of his ■)■ ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his repnta tmu is as much of a thief as if lie had stolen n barrel us his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime lie adds a fur ther one of defrauding the community by giving them a ruinous article for the money they intended to expend for a commodity in which they had coniidence. And. further, every man who participates indirectly in the fraud, by selling spurious articles is as muehoi'anoßen der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tile remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie iu his holding all concer ned up to the contempt of the community tliusswindled by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon hy their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Welle will obtain names, not only of the eonoeetors of thew counterfeits, but of every man offering them fur sale, and then publish them to the world ; for his own reputation and the health of tlic community demand that all parti’ - should bu nailed to the pillory of popular execration. From the New York Dispatch. AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS. When an enterprising man strikes out anew Husiii'-ss. to the establishment of which he gives his jmlustrju time, talents and pecuniary means, can anytliingbe more cun temptible than to have another steal in. and, under spe cious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferior article, and endeavor to obtain their patronage? Pray, wind difference is here, so far as the honesty of the thing - concerned, botweed purloining the business by which a citizen hopes to make his bread anil stealing the bead itself? A common thief, if he takes without leave, how ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, is appre hended and condemned to tlio penitentiary for daring it a surreptitious manner to appease his appetite: hut pat a respectable looking coat on his back and a few dollar iu his pocket, and he may, with impunity, nay, even with the upp'uuse of his fellows, by knavery, forgery “i other infamous means, take tlio business of an hom*l man from hint, and go unscathed of justice, dll tlii- :• wrong.
