TII13 GREAT FINANCIAL CRISIS IN ENGLAND. It was the expectation of many that the next financial crisis would have its source in the United States. This expectation has not been realized. It has had its origin in Eng land. The severity of its pressure may be judged from the magnitude of the failures, and the suspension of Sir Robert Peel’s act of 1814, t6ti third suspension of that aot which has taken place. It is remarkable that an interval of about ten years takes placerbe- |jWc JUji"mi the last having taken But although the United States have not been first visited with a financial crisis and panic, the reaction will be attended by con sequences nearly as disastrous. The return of a large amount of American securities, and the export of gold probably exceeding three millions of dollars, will be Accompanied by great scarcity-of money and commercial distress, This, with the accompaniment of a great tire in the city of New York, will great ly aggravate the effects of this scarcity. The pressure will be felt by the Government. All the pecuniary claims against the United States Treasury will be pressed for settle ment, and the negotiation of fresh loans will be impracticable. A favorable indication of the present crisis for this countrj' is that the failures in Eng land have taken place among stock and not cotton speculators. It is too early perhaps iu the season for these generally occur in the fall, but the reaction cannot but be felt extensively iu all departments of busi ness. We should not be surprised if a panic were to set in as relates to our national banks. These money panics are very apt to extend where there is little real cause for them. Let the people remain firm. If there are losses to be incurred, they will be among depositors. The note holders are amply se cured. tiiwr JUITICK CHAM AND 1HB placing us in a petition to opante THE THREATENED WAR IN EUROPE. The advices from Europe show that the situation iu Germany and Italy is still very critical. Italy has engaged not to attack Austria, but popular demonstrations in favor of war continues to be frequent and enthu siastic. Austria, Italy and Prussia are all continuing their armaments, and it was gen erally believed that war might break out in a short period. England has promised to Austria to give to peaceful offers of the lat ter at the Prussian Court an energetic sup port. The French Minister of Foreign Affairs had officially declared the intention of his government to remain neutral in the war, but also to reserve, if necessary, liberty of aetion. It is asserted that negotiations are actively going on between France, England and Russia for assembliug a Euro pean" Congress. - - ? - The Italian government, it is stated, has been forced to resort to the issue of paper money in order to defray the expenses of its armament, the National Bank of Italy agreeing to advance £10,000,- 000 to the treasury ; the bank in re turn being permitted to suspend specie pay ments, while its notes are to be made a legal tender throughout Italy. The spirit of military conflict seems to be as prevalent in Eorope as in America. THE BANKRUPT BILL. The House of Representatives has passed the Bankrupt bill. It will be needed. We look for a great dislocation of private en gagements within the next six months. The abuses of thf} Bankrupt bill of 1840 may be expected to be'renewed. A large harvest of appointments may be expected to follow, with a plentiful crop of corruption, so that as soon as a general jail delivery takes place, and the new bill accomplishes its w ork, it will go to the “tomb of the Capuleta” as did its predecessors. England is about to reform her system of Bankrupt laws—in other words to abolish the distinction between Bankruptcy and In- • solvency. Would it not have been better for Congress to have appointed a Committee to investigate the effects and operation of the English Bankrupt laws instead of suddenly instituting a Bankrupt system of our own ? England has had ample experience as to the efficacy of such a system. If she is about to abolish imprisonment for debt and we are about introducing it, as an accompaniment of a new Bankrupt law, there would be a great diecrepency of practice between two countries with similar usages and a system of commercial law very much in common. TREASON TRIALS. We believe it has been aemi-offioially an nounced, at least, that Chief Justice Chase will preside at the approaching trial of Jeffer son Davis for treason. In view of the gene ral understanding that the announcement is correct, it may be fairly assumed that a re view of S^r. Chase’s record on the State rights question is not irrelevant to ihe most impor tant State trial that has ever occurred, or is likely to occur in this country. It is a re markable fact, not generally known to the public, that even the great Southern advo cate of State rights, Mr. Calhoun, never ad hered more tenaciously to this much abused doctrine than the present Chief J ustice. And this accounts fer his persistent reluctance, doubtless, to preside at the trial of Mr. Da vis. AVe would not be understood as main taining that Chief Justice Chase, in the exer cise of his judicial functions, should be in fluenced by opinions on constitutional ques tions promulgated from the political rostrum, or from the executive chair of Ohio in former days. . If in subsequent years he has been led by reflection and experience to the adop tion of other views, it is certainly his duty to avow the change and act accordingly. But, in the language of another, “the tact that he once thought thorn solid nevertheless ex tenuates, if it does not quite absolve the cul pability of others who, like himself, have yielded to their apparent force.”* The proofs are now before the public that Mr. Chase was for y&ars a States’ Rights man; that he not when Governor of Ohio “ he was-ready and eager to dare a conflict with the General Go vernment in opposition to a Federal law." In thi3, although pe had given his best years to the study of legal and constitutional ques tions, he may have been in error; but does not his recantation prove that the error is such as an honest man may entertain, and suoh as a public officer thinking himself loyal may act upon ? It has been stated that Mr. Davis’ defence against the charge of treason will probably rest on the very principle so boldly main tained by Mr. Chase, and, if so, holy can the jury render a verdict against the prisoner without, at the same time, convicting the Judge ? m The Cincinnati Commercial, a strong Re publican paper, in an article reviewing the political antecedents of Mr. Chase, says : He advised President Lincoln to let the slave States go rather than resort to armed co ercion, which was ia violation of the State Rights theory, which he (Chase) had preached all his fife, from the case of Jones vs. Van Zandt, in McLean’s reports, in 1842, to the celebrated Oberlin fugitive slave cases of Bashnell and Langston, in 1859, when, as Governor of Ohio, he prosecuted a writ of habeas corpus to release prisoners convicted of a violation of the Fugitive slave law, from the Cleveland jail, and openly declared that he would sustain by force the Supreme Court of Ohio against that of the Supreme Court of the United States, even if it resulted in a collision with the general government.” These statements are fully supported iu the Commercial by documentary proofs. While the fugitive cases were pending Governor Chase made a speech in Cleveland) in which he used this language: “I will say, what 1 have frequently said before, that as long as the State of Ohio remains a sov ereignty, and so long as I am Governor, the process of her courts shall be executed. The process of the U. S. Courts must not be slighted or resisted, but so long as I represent the sovereignty of our State 1 will see that the process of our State Courts shall not be interfered with, but shall be fully en- fa-oMi " Ha closed t»y saving, "wnen i am called upon to act I will act.’’ Who wifi say that this is not the full-bloom Calhoun doctrine of nullification ? If this is not enough to establish, the claim of the Chief Justice at that period to the championship of State sovereignty we will add a few ex tracts from speeches made by Mr. Chase in the United States Senate. In February, 1855, there was introduced a bill for the protection of officers employed in the execution of the federal laws. The passing of the bill was urged on the ground of resistance by State authority to the execution of the Fugi tive Slave Law. Mr. Chase led the opposi tion to that bill, and in the course of his speech against it said: “Sir, this is a bill for the overthrow of States rights. It is a bill to es tablish a great central, consolidated Federal Gov ernment. ’’ We have not space for other equally pointed extracts from the speeches of this gentleman, showing most conclusively that be based his resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law, and his threats of force on the doctrine of State Rights. •. . Whilst we cannot say that it would be fol lowing a fine of just argumentation to pre sent to the jury before which Mr. Davismaf appear the extraordinary discrepancy be tween the former and present views of Mr. Chase, as settling one way or the other the question of State sovereighty; yet, to do so would demonstrate that the trial of Mr. Da vis, by a judge of Mr. Chase’s antecedents, will have no great tendency either to explode the State Rights theory, or to render armed opposition to the Federal Government odious. cessfully. We think in all .fairness the en tire burden should not be assumed by tis. Conceding all the advantages which may be said to restalt to ns from a connection with the Atlantic A Gulf Railroad, and through it, with Savannah, we Ihiok those to be derived by that Company, and the interest centeigg in Savannah, are equal, if not greater; and that those thus benefitted should be willing to contribute or materially in completing the work.- be recollected that the entire, line baa been graded, bridged and trestled, and that tti« crossties are all laid and bedded, and all that is now required to givo to Savannah and the Atlantic $ Gulf Railroad a terminus gn’the gulf at a very early day is to procure and lay the rails a distance of 22 1-2 miles. Thfa accomplished, and access is obtained ton Gulfport equal to any except Pensacola, from which suitable steamers can reach thfe railroad from New Orleans, terminating on Lake Ponchartrain in from 24 to 30 hours, and thus the passage from New York to New Orleans can be accomplished in four days. We feel purauaded that the City of Savannah and the Atlantic A Gulf Railway will be. actuated by that liberal policy which has always characterized them.” THE'GREAT CALAMITY IN-LOUISIANA.

C. 1 HO IN GW UflotUH liniVD wv* el UmIs aasKnt haa uial following .report upon the disastrous crevasses in the Mississippi river from Mr. Williams, State Engi neer: “At Morganza the gap is about four hundred feet wide, and quite deep, not less than ten or twelve feet water ruuuiug through. It is not caving rapidly, and an effort to secure the ends of the remaining portion of the work wlU probably be made. The place where the levee gave way la immediately in the rear of the break which occurred in the old levee, and where there was no obstacle to keep the wave a from upon the new embankment with unbroken force. Hie water washing over, the. torrents of rain that were falling, aud the violent shock of the waves, caused the land side of the levee to ‘slide,' and aO weaken it that successful resistance to the immense pressure of the stream was rendered impossible. “At noon yesterday Mr. Williams proceeded from Morganza to Grand Levee. The latter levee is about four thousand feet long and pefectly straight and con sists of fresh earth piled upon the base of the old levee, which was not washed away. He was informed that there were t wo small breaks in thia levee, but on reaching the apot found the greater part of it gone, and an unbroken stream of water twenty-five hundred feet wide rushing through into the fertile and culti vated lands which stretch away for mileB In the direct course of the uncontrollable flood. The water at thia break is not so deep aa at Morgans*. it ia judg ed, from the fact that it ia violently ruffied, aot smooth and strong, and it ia thought that the remains of the old levee, which had become firm and compact, atil] stand. ,. “Au immense volume of water is flowing through these breaks into a section which is probably under better cultivation thia season than any other portion or the State. It ia expected that within two or three days this flood, joined to that from the Chinn and Bobinson crevasses, will inundate nearly all the Ter rebonne and Lafourche region. A greater calamity, in the present impoverished condition of our people, could scarcely have occurred, and wo anticipate, ere long, heartrending accounts of devastation, suffering, aud perhaps death. Truly are the people of Louisiana sorely afflicted. ” The New Orleans Crescent has the following : “ The calamity which haa for some time threatened us is at last upon our suffering people. The great levee near Morganza haa yielded'to the overwhelming pressure of the flood. Unless this break be speedily closed it is impossible to overestimate the loss which will fall upon all the alluvion of onr State west of the Mississippi. The greet West Batcn Bouge crevasse has already submerged a large portion of our richest agricultural parishes. For weeks now the flood has rushed through that formidable opening, working its resistless will on a wretched and hopeless population. Caops have been swept away, and families driven rrorn their homes. The lateral outlets, filled to the utmost of their discharging capacity, have risen above their banks, and threaten to burst through the feeble bar riers which restrain the violent watars. And now comes this Morganza crevasse to complete the sum of misfortune by the tremendous reinforcement of su- pertluent waters wh ich it brings to the work of de struction. Iu a short time, the whole country, from the mouth of lied river down, aud between the Mis sissippi aud the Teche, will be submerged."

Th«y will use it during their investigations, after which it will be disposed of. Mr. Stephens having received invita tions from the Centred of several 'States, was to have started on a visitation and lecturing tour ou Monday, in company with Uenoral Halpin and Capt. Doheny. It is not known whether he will go to the West or not, a g that is the stronghold of President Roberts' adherents and success there is considered doubtful. A circle re cently formed in the Sixth ward has, it is said, dis solved. They collected a large amount of money since they organized, which is only about three months ago, the greater portion of which, ae alleged, was for- warded J to Union Square. What remained was equally divided among those who paid in money. The Fire In Atlanta. Petty Annoyances.—The series of petty annoyances to which Jefferson Davis has been subjected must recoil on his persecutors with fifty fold the force they intend for his discomfort. It is the evidence of a mean-, ness of spirit that delights to. wound the high minded. When Sir Hudson Lowe sub jected Napoleon Bonaparte to a series oi personal persecutions but oue voice in Eu rope was raised against such infamous pro ceedings. His jailer conceived that he was recommending himself to his employers by such petty annoyances, and no doubt he did or he would have been removed. The same effect would not follow here. The President of the United States has too elevated a na ture to lend himself to such practices, aud there can be no doubt that he wU! flisplacg the miserable subalterns who think they best fulfil their function by such a coarse of syco phancy. It is a sign of moral degeneracy when the state ol manners will warrant in sult to the unfortunate.

We have been kindly famished with the following extract from the recent report of the Preaident and Directora of the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad Company of Florida, by which it will be aeen that an eameat de sire is felt by that company to perfect the connection between their road and the At lantic and Gulf road. To effect this connec tion, so important not only to Florida and our own immediate section, bat alio to the commercial interests of the entire South, it will be aeen that comparatively h very small expenditure is required. For aid in this im portant work the Florida Company look to our city and to the Atlantic and Gnl^Bail- road Company. We sincerely hope that prompt measures will be taken te meet their just expectations and to secure the speedy accomplishment of the proposed connection of the Florida Railroad* with those of our own State. The report aays: “The Directors, having been disappointed in obtaining the rails to replace to the Florida Rail Road Company that portion of their iron removed from their track and laid on the Live Oak branch by-the late Confederate authorities, yielded to the request of that Company for its removal, and tendered every facility to enable them to do ao. We are still sensible of the importance of secur ing the nils and restoring ihe track, thus completing the link connecting this road with the whale system of rail mays in the country, and thus securing to our citizens another outlet to the Atlantic in addition to the two in this State. Negotiations have A fire broke out about half-past three o'clock on Monday morning iu Finne’s carriage and blacksmith shop, on Pryor street. The building being of wood, the fire bad gained suck headway before it was dia covered that all effort to extinguish the flames proved ineffectual. The adjoining buildings all having been constructed of wood, the fire was soon communicated to them. Mr. Forsyth's shoe shop, and the small house in which he lived with his family were con sumed. Next in order was the store room of Mr. Mun day, and his dwelling house, both of which were en tirely destroyed. The fire extended no further in that direction, but directed its course towards tbe workshop of Mr. Demarest, aud several small buildings aud outhouses. The dwelling house of the latter geutlemau was greatly endaugcrad at one time, but fortunately escaped destruction. The Tat- tersall Stables were algo in much danger, but through ihe exertions of a number of gentlemen saved. The carriage Bhop is supposed to have been fired by an in cendiary. We are not apprised of tbe losses sustained by the respective parties, or tha amount of their in surunce. Mr. Monday had no insurance upon hit buildings, but saved the better part of Ma effects from the flomea, to have a larger portion of them stolen by that light-fingered class who operate et fires. He in forms us that it was hia intention to have secured policies of insurance on Monday. We are informed that the carriage shop was insured for |t,000, but have no means of knowing if such be the case. We learn also that Mr. Forsyth was insured for $2,000. We are again reminded of the great importance of placing the fire department in a condition to render efficient aid on occasions like thia. We would not be considered as casting a reflection upon that honorable body of men in saying that they are now prepared to do simply nothing. They have not received the proper encouragement in their efforte to re-organise, aud hence that esprit du corps—ao to apeak—of whlah they once boasted baa been permitted to depart. Tha city has turned over to a committee bonds to the amount of $6,000 for the purohrse of a steam engine. Are those bonds to remain stored away until consumed in some other building, cr will our people go forward and take them ? We respectfully propound tbe inter- rogatory .—Atlanta Intelligencer.
