Tans an probably a good many persons, ad vanced beyond ths age of childhood, who wonder, like children, what it is that people are afraid of is a finacciil crisis like that of the United States at this moment, without having the candour a,k for explanvtion, aschildren do. Thus candid, at leant, _ . . . were we old folks amidst the fusaneisl alarms of our childhood, in the day. when COB NETT . 4 familiar (Andiron appeared at eli democratic .hop.windows in tiie bookselling hoe, and when we were sick of hearing of cash payments. Thus can did were we even so late as the panic of when the poet was the fearful erect of the day, and the brinks went down like (is ehildri.i's profane languagt) LICK run for mustard. The q astion in every household was then—" Bat " rant a it that will happen?" " What will be " the t r.. 1 of it ?" "What is the very worst that " ran happen'" S, doubt, thou ands of Americas elldret. Lave been askiug these quesCoos for weeks put; , 1 there may be Engbsh grown people who would hke to know the asswere—people who have nerrr Lad to work for their bread, or their station in life. or the education of their fandlice—pcople whose seals lave always come roand as if the sun and soon brought them, and whose cloths' have regu larly fled their wardrobes asit they were the natural growth of the wason. Without summoning up the etern►l Frer•Ai Trio:rot and her pastry, we may hoist to the whole population of professional and country gentlemen's families, and the entire labouring c:ass, u having almost as dim a notion of what is meant by a financial crisis as the households of the aristocracy tlemselves. All, in sliort, who are not immediately concerned is conin,cris and inwnaiactures, have much to learn at such a Luse. The answer which rued to impress young minds the most deeply was, " We may Le bran est to a " state of barter.' There wee something so amusing in this idiot that it was tiresome that so cinch had to be gone through Ant. Probably s g • ud many Ignorant people were rather sorry to ho awed from a state of barter. It was not only that To and HARRY Weft planning to swap marbles for tops, and Moir and Potts hoping to get a new doll by Isentoxag haodkerchiefa; they half ho••ed to see their father exchanging a jar of sugar t•e a box of candles fora joint of mutton and potatoes, or their mother making • set of shirts to get a pair of boots for her haobasd. The picture before Cie fluid's eye was of every body carrying what he had to the mar ket-p'Aise, and then ►nd there exchanging t for what he wanted, with plenty of trouble in inviting the walrus match. As the catastrophe of t .rter never arrived, few of them who escaped ruin ever attained an understanding of the mischief and mi-ery really endured. Those who did may now sympathise with the int-fortunes of that great Republic which we ere amuitomed to think of ea placed high above the sufferings from poverty which ore the supreme dread of the old societies of Europe. We used to be told that in a condition of national bankruptcy those would be the lucky ople who had hoarded money, and those who poser aed houses and lands : and indeed we saw at the moment of se emit pressure how an old miser or punitive ser vant maid here and there brought out eld fashioned guineas and crown-pieces, end bought up things that were to be had for half or a quarter of the value they bore a month or two earlier; and we could perceive for ourselves that people who had estates would be well off again when the balance of affairs was restored, while the shopkeeper or manu facturer must either part with his goods for any thing they would fetch, or, if able to avoid sell ing at the moment, must estimate them, in taking stock, at half their late value. Just so is it now in America. In the agricultural valleys of the West, and, yet more, on the frontier of rin:isation, the shock will bo comparatively little felt. The pioneers in the wilds are accustomed to • state of barter. Money is seldom seen there. Neigh boars are always lending sod exchanging; and 1 when the schoolmaster and the pastor cone they are 1 paid 1 :-1 maintenance and in gifts in kind. On the 1 new fnmseverything indispensable is raised on the catium. and luxuries are either laid up in store or can be waited for. The nearest approach of hardship is these caeca is the stoppage of railway works. The yeomen have subscribed money, time, and trouble to the railway, to get accen to a market; and now, through some commercial convulsion • themes& miles away, the works are stopped, beembisie et labourers are turned adrift, the concern is bankrupt, end nobody can say when there will be a rail road. Even here, however, there is some consolation. The fanners are beginning to understand that their intere►ts are seriously encroached upon by the slave institutions which exist on the opposite shore of the great riven. Their mere hay crops are worth more than the entire Southern crops of cotton, tobacco, sugar, and rice—to say nothing of their grain and live stock and yet the Slave States legislate for the whole country, and sacrifice all inteteets to their own. Whoa the railway was begun, strict order were sent dews the whole Hue by the Directors that no anti slavery enevanmatimi or even opinion abash' be allowed among the persona employed or in any was interested, lest the powers at Washington should quash the reject. Now that the management is becken up, and the powers at Washington con do Nothing for it, the bondage is broken, and it will never he submitted to again. There is the line, as far as it gas; there are the materials; here are the labousen who desire to make it ; there are the pro- II ► e7l,_ os, FRI AY EVENING, OCTOBER 3O, 1857. pristore who want it made—all are waiting for the skowly to make it witk in time they will aim it, and never again at the cost of their rights of epeeeh and thought. The labourers are much to be pitied meantime and the farmers, whose gra naries are full, and whose poseemione are not in mosey, moat be open-handed, and find work and feed he as many as they can. The Anther east we look, the more the distress I deepens, till, is those parts of the Atlantic cities, hem Portland to Savannah, where the merchants meet do congregate, the throng ofhunian countenances exhibits every degree of sorrow, from mere concern to frantic despair. Merchant primes, wham princesses at home have been steeped in larery all their lives, cannot eft how common food and clothes are tabs had when every shilling is lost, and the tender creatures ran not do a single useful thing in the world. Envy man sees the property for which he had worked re hard collapsed to half ita bulk or leis. The invest ments which were to have yielded a life-income to parents or children are broken up, or the securities ' must go for anything they will bring. Money meet be got while anything is left to buy it with hem any part of the world. The pawning stage is past, and the selling one seems near an end. The day . _ seems to be at hand when men and their families will be sitting in the midst of their silks and cottons, their dye-stuffs and hardware, their furniture and , fine wardrobes, without anything to eat, or any idea how to get it. Such, Liss ! is the awe already with thousands of men and women who have done nothing to being on such a crisis. Thousands of shoemakers , are turned off, knowing that there will not be a stroke of work for them till the rust stacks of whole towns, as full of shoes ea our Northampton, are sold and paid for. It is the same with the hatters. Many thousands of them have been told that there will sot be a shilling of wages for them before the New Year, if then. The cloak-makers—foe the most part girls who can do nothing else—are adrift by thousands in • single city ; and it is the gravest of all considerations what is to bosoms of them in the interval during which no bar will buy cloaks, and the further time that it will take to use up the existing stocks. And so we might go on, through the whole list of occupations, till we arrive at the fandeinental question, what laid then is in the country P Why, there is plenty. lffiemewer, the landowners of the West are declared ts le largely in debt to the merchants of the East. Us main difficulty is that of transmission of palace ; but it also appears that the farmers are unwilling to sell at • time when prices are sunk wry low by financial disturbance. The unwilling ness mast give way of course. Everybody must be reedy tohelp, and not too proud to be helped. Other sallow have their share to bear in the eagerness of the Americana to sell, and their inability to boy ; bet this, fearful as the drain may prove, ia less than the people of the United States bare to bear : and many of them are heroically cheerful in the midst of the ruin of their fortunes. There are even many—and they the wisest and beet— who, oa the whole, doubt whether the misfortune is really to be lamented, considering how many will o'-the-wispe are dispersed, bow many explosions oil both bubbles and solemn:4e are already over and done with, and, above all, bow many hoot' of policy and self interest between the Free States and the Slave power are cut through, so se to leave room for free action henceforth. There will be no funds raised for anti-slavery rim ste this year; but they were never so little wanted; for the work of preaching, and train, and rebuking is superseded by the disruption et - pnelavery interests. The "ire of Wolfe Crag" will not only cover over a world of infirm credit, and release s maltitude of citizens from false seemings—it will make many men, and varieties of men, brave in facing realities, and determined in claiming the constitutional rights and liberties which they had too long pawned away for the credit and the leas which have sank under I them st laet got Court.

Letters from Brussels bring news of extraordinary success obtained by the liberal party in the com munal elections of Oct. 27. The liberal, have been squally triumphant at Ghent and Antwerp. At Ghent, where the catholic party has heretofore been dominant, the liberal candidate who stands lowest on the poll has nearly 900 votes more than the top candidate on the rival list. At Brussels there were a good many abstentions. But at Ghent and Ant ' werp almost the entire constituency voted. At Brussels the catholic party was beaten on every point. In fact, with the, single exception of Schaerbeek, every commune in the Brussels district voted for the liberal candidata. The ministry is alarmed at the reenit of the elections, which was not expected to be so very decided. It is said in all directions that the Cabinet must resign, but the better opinion is that it will affect not to see a political signification in merely municipal,lections. . . The Jesuitical Bill on the Charities, which was adjourned last session on account of its unpopularity, will now doubtless be withdrawn altogether. The liberal triumph has produced considerable excite ment in Brussels. The hotel of the Liberal Asso ciation was illuminated in celebration of the event. While the elections were going on numerous tele graphic despatches were sent to the King, who is staying at his Chateau of Ardenne. The Ministers are so much embarrassed that they require his Msjesty's advice. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (711011 OCI ow PARIS, TEIVIIIDAT EVIXINO. Th. Pattie announces th►t official negotiations are going on between Franco and England for an ex change of territory in India. It is proposed that France should give up her possessions in Chander sager to England, receiving, u an equivalent, a por tion of territory new Pondicherry, which is the centre of the French colonies in India. _ The Dordogne, now on the point of sailing from Toulon from India, curies out 130 marines, to rein force the French garrison at Chandernagor. This measure, however, is only taken by way of precau tion, for the Patti* says that, at the date of the latest advicea, the French colonists had not been in any way molested by the rebels, and were, more. over, very much less alarmed than they had been at first. The Dordogne will land detachments of ma rines at Senegal, Mayotte, and the Isle of Reunion. M. de Bourqueney, the French ambassador at Vienna, has arrived in Paris. The Bourse has been active and firm. A good many purchases were made both in the Rents and railway shares, to close accounts for the end of the mouth. A hope is entertained by the sanguine that the Bank of England will reduce its discount neat week. The news of the probable winding-up of the Liverpool Borough Bank was much discussed, but did not check the upward movement which was manifest throughout the day. The Bente rose 26e. both for cash and account, closing at 67fr. 6c. and 67fr. Mobility rose 17fr. 60e. A " discount" of 100 Mobilier shares was pasted. Railways were in . . . greater demand than the; have yet been during the week. Orleans rose late. ; Northern, 6fr.; Eastern, 106.; Lyons, 7fr. 60c.; Southern (which was in great inquest), 16fr. 23e.; and Western, 2fr. 60e. The second division of the squadron of evolution, consisting of the steamers Austerlitz, Tourville, Prince Jerome, and Ulm, has left Toulon, under the command of Rear-Admiral Lavand, for Brest, where it will pass the winter, it being the desire of the Minister of Marine that the two great maritime towns of France should be equally favoured. The first division remains at Toulon, where Vice-Admiral Tr&hoisart has his flag on board the Bretagne. There was a tremendous hurricane in the Black Sea on October 10. Eight merchantmen were lost off the &dins months. The Duchess of Alba (sister to the Empress Eugenie) went yesterday to the Cirque, to see the new dnuna, " The Death of Admiral Byng." A meeting of English residents was held this morning at Meurice's Hotel to take into considera tion what should be done with respect to the English church in the Rue d'Aguessean, which is offered for ale. The Rev. Richard Buller was called to the chair, and opened the meeting with prayer. After stating that there was danger of the church falling into the hands of persons not belonging to the Church of England, and briefly dwelling on the importance of retaining it, the rev. chairman pro posed • plan to this effect, that a sum of 5,0001. should be raised in shares of 251. each, and that the government should then be called on, under the Consular Act, to advance an equal ram, whereby the capital demanded for the purchase of the church would be made up. The shareholders, he explained, would have ample security for their money, inasmuch as the receipts front the letting of seats in the chapel, together with donations which may reasonably be expected from the public, will amount on an average to 1,3321. yearly, from which there will have to be deducted, for interest on the capital and incidental expenses, 4601. ; thereby leaving a balance of 9021. to be de voted to the paying off of the shares. After a dis cussion, in which several gentlemen took part, and in the course of which it was stated that, after re imbursing the shareholders, the chapel would be come entirely free to the English public, it was prepaid by the Rev. F. Beaver, and seconded by Mr. Margary, "That a committee be ap pointed to carry out the plan proposed by the Rev. R. Buller, and to submit it to Lord Cowley, the English ambassador, for his approval." This Temptation was carried unanimously. It was next proposed and seconded that the following gentle men should be requested to act as the committee : Log Grey, Major Long, Sir Stafford Northoote, Bart., Mr. Margery, Dr. Spiers, Dr. Shrimpton, Mr, Rolls, the Rev. H. Swale, the Rev. F. Beaver, Mr. Galignani, and the Rev. R. Buller. This resolution was also agreed to. It was then announced to the meeting that MM. Galivant would subscribe for 25 abases, and some other gentlemen also stated their readiness to take shares. It was afterwards pro posed by Dr. Shrimpton, and seconded by Dr. Spies, that the thanks of the meeting should be given 16' MM. Galignani for their offer, and the resolution was agreed to unanimously. After • vote of thanks to the rev. chairman, and one to M. Caillez for the ass of the room, the meeting broke up. DEATH OF GENERAL CATAIGNAC. (CT 11111111,11111 AND BRITIAN TiLLIONATN) (NlOll 01:1 OWN COIIIISPONDIENT.) PARIS, FkIDAT 00r.30. General Cavaignac died very suddenly yesterday morning or aneurism of the heart whilst snipe- shooting on the estate of M. Beaumont, in Barth.. The body was immediately brought to Paris in a vocal train by Madame Cavaignac. The funeral will take place to-morrow, at Montmartre. SPAIN. The Madrid papers of the 25th have reached us. M. Mon had arrived in that capital on the previous morning; shortly afterwards he had a long conference with Admiral Armero, and then was received by the Queen. The Espana and the Regeneracion had been seized. Three of the retired ministers, the Bake de Valencia, General Lenundi, end M. Lozano, had visited M. Mon. The Queen had been nightly in disposed. The Hoja affirms that M. Bravo Menloi was certainly about to leave Madrid for France. The Spanish consul at Athens states, in a despatch to his government, that in virtue of a royal dime corn is permitted to be exported from Greece, the late harvest having been unusually abundant. PIEDMONT. The Piedmowlese Gazette, iu publishing the de cree for the dissolution of the Piedmonts*, Chamber of Deputies, also gives the text of the report on which that decree is founded. In this document Bateau sets forth that the Chamber has fulfilled its duties with seal, by restoring order to the finances ' of the state, providing for the means of national de fence, promoting public works, improving the code of laws, and strengthening the independence of the civil power with regard to the church ; but that, u numerous measures intimately connected with the preceding ones are now in contemplation, which cannot be voted in a single session, and as the pre sent Chamber can only subsist for a year longer, it is advisable to proceed to a new election, the country being at present in a state of the completest THE EPIDEMIC AT LISBON. (71011 OUR OWN LISBON, Oct. 24. The prevailing epidemic since I last wrote appears to be increasing instead of yielding before the ad vance of winter and the prevalence of a much colder atmosphere. The deaths during the last ten days have, I believe, averaged some 80 to 90 daily. It is said that the Viscount de Horta and Carlos Bente, Minister of the Interior, are indisposed, but I believe not seriously so. The well known actor Epifanio, of the Theatre of Donna Maria 11., is among the recent victims of the fever. Although en immense number of the inhabitants at Lisbon have fled into the villages and townships around the capital, few cases of the epidemic have yet occurred there. The King still oontinues to re side at Neceseidades, and the Cardinal Patriarch is, I regret to add, still sojourning at Santarem. Political and commercial news there is none— still nothing talked about or thought of but the dreadful disease which weekly adds its hundreds to the bills of mortality. Several engineers in the service of Pete arrived by the last packet, and I believe the surveys of the line to Oporto are now going on. The Peninsular packet Tagus arrived on the 22nd inst., but as canal had no communication with the city ; she merely received the mails made up in two tarred boxes, for fear of infection, and left the same day for the south. PASSAGE OF BRITISH TROOPS THROUGH EGYPT. (►IOY • 7I•VELL4 IS TUE EAST.) ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 20. We hare had two stirring arrivals here, which have aroused alike Greek, Musenlman, and Jew. On the 15th the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Sultan brought us 14 officers and 235 men of the 4th and 11th Companies of Royal Engineers en route for India. On the 16th the excitement was kept up by a salute fired from a fine 48 gun frigate which entered this port, and next we saw our gallant Pioneers, clothed in the garb of peaceable English husbandman, e., in whits blouses and widcawakee. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's agent of this place, Mr. Holton, has made such admirable use of his position to render the transit of troops saves the desert efficient that he is said to be ready to undertake to convey comfortably two thousand English soldiers per month through the Pacha's sand steppes. The Pacha does not at all object to English sol diers crossing his territory in their uniforms and accoutrements, but I think government acted very wiselT in pro viding our men with white clothing. allowing them only to carry their great coat, bread bag, and replenished water bottles—more than this would unfit men to stand sudden change of climate. The first batch of soldiers traversed the Desert in 291 hours; the Royal Engineers will have accom plished their journey through the Desert in little more than half the time. At five o'clock on Sunday evening, the 18th inst., Colonel Harness addressed the soldiers in a few, manly, heartfelt words as to the nature of the ser vice rendered by the Pacha to our gracious sovereign by allowing English troops to traverse his territory, and expressed the confident hope that no complaint would be brought against them for violation of hospitality. The men made mien to cheer their colonel and the good ship on board of which they had been so well cared for • but so well disciplined were they, that they contr olled their feelings at first ' bidding; for the colonel said, " Whatever you do, don't cheer." . . _ Though the men traversing the Desert stop every six hours for a good repast, they are nevertheless provided with • day's cooked fresh moat ration, bread, and a bottle of good drinking water. Colonel Pocklington, Deputy-Quartermsster-Oe neral of Malta, acts here in concert with Mr. Holton. Both gentlemen have hitherto accompanied the troops through the Desert, and both are entitled to • large share of credit for putting their shoulders to the wheel manfully in despatching our men to the seat of war. The Calcutta batch, under Brevet-Major Nicholson, a much beloved Crimean officer, is accompanied by Colonel Harness, a fine elderly gentleman of high attainments and most courteous manners. The Bombay batch, under Captain Cumberland, is com manded by Captain Fenwielt, who has stood the brunt of many a battle in the Kaffir war. It must be a severe blow to parent, brother, or sister, to bid adieu to officers of this stamp; but, bad I a son, I would bid him God speed to enrol with mach men, who strive to be equal to the emergencies of their time. The friends and relations of the Royal Engineers in England will be glad to learn from tho accompa nying document that their journey up to this place was a source of great pleasure. 13.8.

In this condition all their business functions an suspended. These stringent provisions and this summary proceeding ate presumed to be founded either in the actual insolvency or &sudden acts or intentions of That any considerable number of our banks would be thus pro ceeded against is not at all probable; but yet their exposure and liability to such proceedings would necessarily paralyse them all, serving in effect to deprive the eannuonity of the facilities usually derived from banks while in suspension . Another consequence--and a most startling conrequence— is, that when the notes of hanks come to the department under protest, the superintendent is re q uired to proceed to seU then securities, applying the proceeds, pre rata to the redemption of their mrculatson. Poe these securitieM he can only receive gold and silver. What such ItCOTltille will bring, and bow far the proceeds will go toward redeeming the circulation, remains to be sees.

The matter stood over until this morning, when it was arranged that tho question of law should be Mr. Bodkin first addressed the court, and he rid it &p -pawed to him that the plea could not be supported, inasmuch is to support the ph* of autrefois acquit It must be 'howl that the charge made against the prisoner on the second oc casion was identically the same as that of which he was be• fore acquitted. The prisoner had never before been charged with the offence of wilful murder. There was no identity between the two offences, and the plea wee bed in law. _ _ Mr. E.
