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

Bank Director—Mr. South, lam sorry to say you nolo win thrown out. Mr. B.—Thrown out!—out, sir! B. U—had to advance a largo cotton house, sir sixty thousand, which. Mr. S—And deprive me of a thousand, which would have suvo.l me from the langt of Skin flint. and from protest. 11, y.—But lh ; s wasa peculiar case— Mr. 3.—No, air not a peculiar case, it is an ev ery day occurrence, and the consequence will be that half tlu> town must break because you must keep up a few largo houses—is it oqilable or jmt. U. D.—But, Mr. Smith, you must remember that we must protect thorn to protect ourselves. M r . s,—This Ido not question—hence it is the regular merchant, who goes to the north, purchases goods for the western trade, gives his notes, makes the city one of a commercial char acter,that is lolie crushed to advance the interest of speculators. Sir, what are they to dot what is to become of them, if hy encouraging a sys tem, for the few to monopolize and scatter mil lions, the trade is destroyed, confidence gone, and the country dealer keeps away hy the fear of be ing pul in what is now termed the “Atississifh- JM //«fe,',”ergu, Calaboose'.

John.—Lacks thirteen hundred. Mr. 3.—Six him Ire I and titty from Skinflint. John.—Lacks six hundred and fifty, sir. Mr. Smith.—What’s the clock! John.—Half past twelve.

Mr. Gatkrigkx. —lt appears that William N, BISHOP, the lawless bravado of Murray, not content w t,h the many outrages he has coinmiUcd on the persons! rights an.l pro, crly of citizens ol that county, has, since his most astonishing in stallation in the Central Bunk of Georgia, not only enacted similar scenes of violence, under the very eye of the Executive of the State, hut. insti gated by high m.lhotily, is making furious as saults upon the character of thus?, who will not cry immaculate to Gov. Schley, or fawn upon a certain Doctor, ol Stine selling memory. In the Standard of Union of the 2lst Mach last, the Doctor's tool in somu strictures on the presentmcris of the Jury of Forsyth Superior Court, alludes to mysell m tho following lan guage : “This presentment no doubt was instigated by his (Judge Kciu.ii) malice, uml carried into client by the perfidy of another drunken, debased offi cial tool of Ins, whom I have again anil again rc | lievcd from pecuniary wants, and saved from the a walls of a prison with my nuroo and rny money ; I ami thus lie repays my kindness.” II Ido not take notice of this calumny, because I consider uny vindication of my character against the aspersions of William N. Bishop, as nccctaa . ry.or expected by those who are acquainted with me; hut to ,vail myself ol tho suitable occasion, amply justified hy ibis wanton attack, to show to the people ol Georgia, nod especially the Union L party, uliai kind of u man the Guardians ut the b Central Bunk have entrusted with the funds of I the State. Letm apply to the very Irihunnl, io “ which the Governor’s Aid, triumphantly appeals y fur his high standing, and see ns retarded osli y male of his character, c “Why did they not look to llm county of my residence, for proof of my standing! There I hut the confidence of a large innjoi ity of its citizens, ’ r exclaims tho Teller of the Central Bank! The r county of Murray has been looked to: the citizens ot that county have spoken out, and in a voice ol thunder, that will not only quail tho heart of the blustering bully, but carry dismay to tho bosoms ol his Milledgevdlo pair ms. At the Murray Bu -1 perior Court held the third Monday in March last, I the Grand Jury, composed of at least two thirds ut Bishops friends, with on* uflho present mom • bers ol the Legislature among them, reported nine > True Bills against Bishop, eight of which, upon cnnvii lion, would transfer him from the Central 1 Bank to one of tho cells in the Penitentiary; and i the investigation of which will satisfy tho people ul'Georgia, that instead of being placed as a scnli -1 ncl over the peoples inuiioy, he should bo placed under tho sentinels of the Penitentiary. Docs the Teller w ish to hear further from the Grand Jury? They present him for leaving the coun try with SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUN DRED DOLLARS, of their funds, and call upon the Inferior Court to institute speedy measures against him for its collection: they further say, that tho bond given hy him for the building of a Court-House, or refundment of the money ad vanced him, is entirely iiiaulficent, and a member of the Inferior Court, who has always been Bis hops friend, stales that the bond given hy Bishop (or the erection ol ;ho Court House, was lead by him to the Court, very dilierently from wlqit it is now found to he written. Most noble, and highly worthy Grand Jury! Because you had heretofore reposed a misplaced confidence in this William N. Bishop, ho con eluded that you w ould regardless of the sanctity of your oaths, smother his corruptions, and with i his honorable /'nitrons ut Millcdgcville, attempt to holster up his putrid reputation, but nobly did I you sustain tho t tie dignity of your body. In i answer to the call of duty, you honestly discarded • i every prejudice und predilection, and fearlessly exhibited, the worthless favorite of great men, , in bis naked deformity. As another evidence of Bishops standing in “tho country ol his resi dence,” I refer to the closing putt of the Murray presentments, “Wc must again repeat, (says the Grand Jury) that wo teel great pride and ex nllalioii in the belief, that parly strile is subsid ing in our country, and peaco, good order, and a proper respect for the laws of our beloved coun try, prevailing in its stead.”—This “exultation” of the Grand Jury, clearly convoys a strong reflec tion upon William N. Bishop, When does the reign of peace, ar.J good order commence in Mur ray comity! after Bishop has left it. When is a proper respect paid to tho laws? When Bishop is no longer in tho county to violate them! When Bishop is no longer in (he country to violate thorn, ami incite others to do the same. There Is still another act of the Tellers', committed ns Clerk of the Superior Court of Murray county, of which every person who feels tho slightest inter est in the faithful management of the Central Dank, and of consequence in the prosperity of the State,should be informed.—William N. Bis hip has withheld from the Court, mid perhaps destroyed, nil the criminal papers whic h were in liis possession as Clerk—and among them indict ments ngdnst himself, and bonds tor his appear ance at Court. Does not thin corrupt act of Bis . hop’s naturally suggest a grave enquiry! If he I will, ns Clerk, destroy ur withhold the papers of his office, is it not to he feared, that lie w ill also, as Teller, corruptly destroy or conceal suite im . ponaiil papers of the Central Bunk, to effect some future purpose 1 If the Forsyth Prescnlm tits lias so greatly alarmed the Doctors’sycophant, and his protec tors at the Capitol, what will bo their consterna tion, w' on they’see tho.-e of Cherokee, Lumpkin, and Union! In these' lliiee counties, the as tounding n/i/ro ntmenl, is remonstrated against | in stronger terms, and w ith more omniums hel f ing towards a cerliin cabal in Milledgeville, tuhl it has been, if possible, by the Forsyth Giand Ju. . ry. At tho head of tho Cherokee Jury, is Gen r al Eli McConnell, Foreman; ami Major William s 3;ooks of the one in Lumpkin: and who dare >ay that those gentlemen arc the pliable instruments o of any one! 1 know them well; and men of , more integrity or firmness of character are not to be found: both of whom woujd scorn and imlig . nantly repel the attempt of uny one to influence I'ieir judgments in any respect. The first nam ed gentleman, with General Hemphill of Floyd, and Col. Farris of Walker, and others, are my socntitioi to the State fin the fa lliful discharge of my office, and allow,me the honor of ranking them among my best friends, if I was a soi, or c of debased primipes, wood those honorable men i. incur a heavy responsibility for me, or allow mo a an intimate association with them before the eye of the whole comnnniiiy ! But, sir, Bishop did not, nor could not have written the publication in the Standard of Union in support of which t assertion, and that he was hissed upon me by the e Milledgeville junto, ot some one of them, the Doctor most likely, and induced to publish the 0 lie he has done, 1 subjoin a copy ol a letter ad dressed by him to me from Milledgeville after ho had seen the Forsyth presentment. “JWiLLEDoxviLLi, March 13, 1837. a A/r. J/. L. Simms, Esq. Dear Hall.—l discover your Grand Jury has noticed my appointment unfavorably, and I ac knowledge it surprised me I was unnpprised of J having any enemies in your county except of tli» opposition which I always expect to be down up on me.

Mr. Teller! the FKIBN Uof a drunk -1 ard and debased tool !Ay ! you w/tA to be my friend, and desire my countenance and support,- > but Iho Millcdgevrllo junto told you. that you I could not have my friendship on your terms : they told you I would not presume my office to your or their views : they told you I would not f support the milk and water Gove.nor, who IS' been a traitor to his friends, a recreant to every parly to which he has deen attached, and in his political course has boxed every point in the political rompasss, and therefore myself, as well t as Judge Kenan, must be vilified and put down. I condemn as much as any one unauthorised disclosures of a friends confidential letter: but the mariner in which 1 have been assiled by persona f. behind the scene, through William N. Bishop. (l will lam asauted, he considired by the public, an j ample apology for the publication of his Idler. ,p lam perfectly willing that every one may know my admiration of Judge Kenan, for the ,1 honest, impartial and ah'e n e rncr he has pn aided e over the Courts of the Chetcokce Circuit; and so j. long as hermit jes to he, as he has been, THE UPRIGHT JUDGE, I shall not only admire, [ but warmly support him for the office he now B fill*. Should he ever oxhihit the slightest aberra tion from a strict line id duly, I shall be among h the first to aid in hurling him from the scat ot jua e lice. ir One word in refutation of Bishops boasted favors i. towards me. When ho first come to Ginesville where I then resided, his circumstances were y very liini cd. having brought wit him hut a Irand l fnl of goods for merchandize in that town. Be |. lieving him then to he a mam of some smsrl ness and merit, I induced many of my friends to c trade with him, by which he was enabled so ; extend his business Being at one time pressed for money, on his earnest soliealioli, I prevailed J on five of my friends to endorse a note fid him a in the Central Bank, for one thousand dollars, . a large parlof which he drew and derived from it I, a substantial relief. It was upon my recom mendation alone, that Governor Lumpkin gave , him the appi inlmciil of Rctr.e. of the Fractions in , the Cherokee country. In admitting then, that j Bishop has stood my hail in some cases, I think f I shall not bo aceoun ed unreasonable, in saying, , that his aid to me in that respect, should have , born considered by him as only a grateful act ol . reeibrocity.—That he has ever relieved me with one dollar of his money, I utterly deny ; and ap f peal to bis numerous creditors in Geo and id. Cn. I to say, whether any of them have found ’ him so liberal with his money, as to relieve them . from liabilities incurred - on his account. i With William N. Bishop, lam done, aril [ shall not in lulure, nolico any thing he can write, nr have written by others against me. i I request the Editors of every Newspaper in Georgia to publish this Communication, and upon forwarding their accounts to me at Gum ming, Forsyth county, the amount of their bills will be immediately remitied. HENRY LIOHTFOOT SIMS. Gumming, Clh April 1837. CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AUGUST ~ Tlmmdtty Kvcn ng, April, 27 1817. Wo had, on yesterday evening, the pleasure of visiting the room in Iho Masonic H ill, in which the Ladies’ Fair of the Presbyterian Working Society is this day held. Undisturbed by the ciowd which will no doubt fill the room this after noon, we had the best opportunity of quietly and minutely examining very many of the beautiful articles which are to ho offered for sale. Neat ness, beauty, taste, elegance and usefulness, arc all combined in this inviting market of the pro ducts of female industry. Among the articles we noticed, also, several boxes of beautiful natu ral flowers, and some young orange trees. The atliclcs aro all priced, and wc can bear testimony to the fact, so far as wc are capable of judging, that the prices are suited to the pressure of the times j those who purchase in this market, will he sure to get value received for their money. The refreshments prepared for the occasion arc also of the choicest characlcr—the richest cake and delicious ico cream are there, and when administered by the hands, accompanied with the smiles, of beauty, innocence, purity and vir lue, will dispense a cheering and consolatory re lief to hearts made sad by the gloomy character of the limes. Then go to the Fair—especially all bachelors—& dispose of a portion of your mo ney to be applied to the besl of purposes, and for the encouragement of the labor of the fairest of hands. The room is fitted up in a style of taste and beauty characteristic of those who have devoted a few hours lime to that purpose. The Ravels— We went last evening to sec the performances of this astonishing family, and returned highly gratified with the visit. Many of their feats aro surprising beyond any thing wo have over seen, and many scenes of their panto tuitie, laughable in tire highest degree—indeed, the first good hearty hrgone-dull-carc-laugli that wo have heard for weeks, wc heard last night at ih» theatre. They porlurm again on Friday night, when, il the weather permits, wo have no doubt 1 the house will ho literary crammed. We regret to understand that there arc many reports afloat in the country, injurious to the cre dit and chat actor of Augusta, her merchants and her hanks. It has been reported in ike interior that all the hanks here, and nearly all the met" chants and business men of the city had failed. I This is grossly untrue ! There is not, we bolicvo > ! a city in the Union, whoso banks and merchants ! arc in sounder condition than those of Augusta, ! 1 rue, it is, that we feel here, as every where else in the commercial world, the pinching severity of the limes, but this city we have not a douht> will weather the storm as welt us any other, whose business connections are of the same extensive , character. We have had so far as our knowledge extends no actual failures—there may have been a few isolated cases of suspension, and wo arc satisfied that those houses (ami they aro very few) aro perfectly solvent, and will he able to pay all their liabilities to the uttermost farthing. Wc caution the people of the interior, against put ting faith in reports circulated by mischievous or ignorant persons, of whom there ore always a i plenty in times like the present, to originate anj 1 magnify stories to the great injury of both the | city and the country. We have been requested to suggest the pro , prioly of calling a meeting of the mercantile and other business men of the city, for the purpose of giving an expression ofopinion, upon the ex pediency of requesting the location ofa Branch vs • the Insurance Bank of Columbus at this place. t - The ability of our Bunks to afford exchanges up • on the North, is based,in a great degree, upon the • cotton that is sent forward, and hence at a time j like this, when there is no cotton selling, they can , do nothing in the exchange business. The In s suranco Bank of Columbus, from its connection 5 with the United States Bank, would not bo so ’ dependent upon this source, ami could he of cs ( sential service to our city at such a lime as this, i It is now utterly impassible u> tusks isaiiunma to the North in the usual way, and the merchants g Will soon be compelled to forward ,lhe specie or b suffer their debt* payable in New York to go un paid. Il is no evidence of undsoundness in our ( city Banks that they cannot check upon the i North as usual, but merely the result of a slagna- t tion in tire cotton market. It ii understood upon good authority that the * Farmer's Bank of Chalahoochec has failed. The hills of the Bank of Ilswkinsville are not ( bankable here, and arc selling at a discount in the ( streets. The report ot this latter Bank as pub- 1 lulled in the Standard of Union, shows a circula- ' tion of $+29,000 Due other Banks, 63,000 Deposites, 30,000 Profits due 25,000 Surplus fund 10,000 Making its immediate liahilties, $557,000 To meet this it has Specie, $78,000 Bills of other banks, 9,000 Bills of exchange, 570,000 Notes discounted, 83,000 do, in suit, 3,000 $738000 Its capital is $200,000, shewing that its circu lation is twice and a quarter as great as its capital, Wc make thii rough statement, not with any i view to prejudice the Bank, but as its hills are under par here, to let the people see its condition and judge for themselves—to-morrow wc shall publish the report entire. The Baltimore American says: “A publication . siad to have been authorised fry Santa Anna,states that his pledges to Gen. Houston, and Iris subse quent visit to Washington, were only a ruse dt gueire, in the first place to save hia life, and •übscquently to gain his liberty. The N. Y. Evening Star, speaking of the ernancipatiot laws in the British Colonies, says : Beal'tiehof the Aprnr.NTicEsnip Law.— The negroes when left to themselves hccoino ut , lerly leekless and worthless, the fruits of which w- see every day, and just at this moment in our i own city. Ai emancipated negress at Savannah LaMar m the island of Jamaica, lately inhuman ly suffered her child, aged six, to die by starva tion, refusing o give it the food the neighbors sent to her. 'i’hrs act ot brutality caused much excitement. The curior o.*' the Kingston Chron icle, remarking on the degeusratc and dissolute character ot the free negro, says. “Wo are sorry to believe there are many sticll brutalized brings amongst the lower grades of our Colonial population, and unless proper laws are put in force lo correct their sloth, and control their dissolute habits, the line race of sleek-skin ned, healthy pickaninnies, which every where gambolled about the pastures of the Jamaica pro prietor, will degenerate into stunted puny starve lings, born hut lo perish in their infancy, or lo linger out a miserable existence, inflicted by par ental brutality and neglect.” ~81 E KI»K ISWS MA a i7. ~ From the N.

Wall-stheet. — One O'clock. —No relief yet in the money market, indeed no prospect ahead, only, that it appears to us the slate of things cannot he much worse. Yesterday, the names of several extensive dealers were added lo the long list, of unfortunates; in all probability many will follow in the same train this afternoon. What adds lo the distress of almost every indi vidual, is the situation of country paper, partic- j ularly of our own safety fund hanks, with the , exception of the Geneva Bank and Dank of But- , falo,and perhaps one or two others. But one or two brokers will buy this money, and they have only a limited amount at 2 a 3* per cent. { Ualfpast one o'clock. —ll will ho seen that several descriptions of slocks have improved to day, the sales however, were hut small.

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

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