STAMPRD sarcy with their talk now that I've these here fixing on. I brought him down a kinder smart, I reckon. 'spect they won't be so sarcy now. I'll see jest who next I'll meet." _ _ From the city of Leaven worthl went before noon to visit the fort. I there met Colonel Sumner, at that time in command of the garrison, with whom I had much interesting conversation on the troubled condition of the territory, and from whom I re ceived during my stay in Leavenworth much kind ness and hospitality. The scenes of the 12 hours I have described — from midnight of the 23d of May to noon of the 24th—were repeated during my few days' stay in Leavenworth without intermission. As the night advanced the ceaseless whisky-drinking showed its fruits. Pistols went off some ti mes unguar d e dly ; knots of people collected at each street corner. The bar-rooms in the hotels, which were all political clubs, became crowded with noisy debaters planning the great deeds they were to perform on the mor row. Numberless gambling-houses were the resort of others. Cards could have been picked up in the streets by the score ; and in a town where the very first demands of civilisation were wanting in the furnishing of the house there was no lack Of such oostly indulgences as gaming-tables, which reminded one of Baden-Baden or Homburg. Every species of shameless wickedness and unchecked outrage met one's gazD at every turn. My own accommodation at night was of the worst. I was subject to frequent interruptions of armed intruders, whom I could not keep out of my room ; and by day I hid to listen perpetually to conversation which was painfully revolting. On the day of my arrival the seizure of Governor Ro binson was, of course, the principal topic. Stories were circulated about him for..which there was no t the shadow of a foundation. "If I had caught his track, d—d if I wouldn't hay.e shot him dead. I told him so at the inquiry. I'd have smashed his head right out. I don't care if it isn't true. I told him I should believe it, whether or no, till he proved it wasn't. He is a flung-up, pilfering, d—d puppy ; that's what be is, fix it which way you like." Judge Lecompte came down to Leavenworth in the evening to see Dr. Robinson. The next day I also saw Governor Shannon. - Rumours were put into circulation that the Free-State men intended to attempt a rescue of their leader during the night. Committees were held in consequence, to organise a defence; and few probablY retired to rest that night in Leavenworth city with the expectation of re maining till morning without a summons to arms. The Committee of Investigation appointed by Con gress was alsq sitting at Leavenworth during my stay. The enormities that were brought to light embittered-exceedingly the Pro-Slavery party; and many threats were made against the persons of those who gave their testimony, as well as the lives of the commissioners. On the third day of my stay seve ral Free-State men were arrested, among them the clerk of the Committee of Investi g ation and two of the witnesses. They announced it also as their intention not to let a single Freesoiler escape. Among all the scenes of violence I witnessed the offending parties were invariably on the Pro-slavery side. The Free State men appeared to me to be intimidated and overawed, in consequence, not merely of the determination and defiant boldness of their opponents, but still more through the sanction given to these acts by the Federal Govern ment. Their later conduct appears by the reports we have received to have been more determined in the way of resistance. But at the time of my visit they seemed scarcely to venture to open their mouths, or confess the party to %which they belonged. It is probable, also—as the period I have described was that in which the first severe blow was struck in the attack made upon Lawrence 7 —that:even later times may riot have exhibited so bitter a hostility or so un controlled a lawlessness. In charitable judgment one may at least hope so. I can only testify of the events that crossed my path at that critical period, and, as such, present them as a small brit mournful contribution to wards the history of a most momentous struggle. —I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, THOMAS H. GLA.DSTONE. Stockwell-lodge, Surrey, Oct. 9. THE LATE MR. GvS ROM (1 HOYT, I The mysterious circumstances connected with the sudden death of this gentleman on his home ward voyage on board the ship Cherubim deserve particular mention. As he was a man of consider able literary mark, as well as an official servant of the Crown, we briefly note the chief points of his career which seem worthy of notice. Charles Rowcroft was son of the late Alderman Rowel-oft, an eminent merchant in London, who, having been appointed her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Lima, was unfortunately shot in the execution of his duty in 1824. Chas. Rowcroft, the son, who was born on the 12th day of July, 1798, was educated at Eton. He was subsequently a well-known political writer, and for some time conducted the Courier. He is, however, best known to the pßblic as a writer of fiction, and his " Tales of the Colonies" must remain a valuable and stand ard addition to the literature of England. In the year 1852 ho was appointed her Britannic Majesty's-Consul at Cincinnati, in Ohio. hardly had he arrived at his post when the Russian war broke out, and it will be readily recollected bow soon the British Consul in Cincinnati became the object of the most deadly enmity to a political party there. He was most unjustly accused (as the result of a subsequent judicial inquiry proved) of a breach of the neutrality laws of the United States, by raising and levying soldiers for her Majesty's s'rvice in the Crimea, and as soon as the falsehood of the accusation had been fully and legally proved the consul was again involved in an embarrassing question which arose in the course of his labours Jad Celfied'vc nen. - _ " Fri:l3y, Aug. 22.—1 n the mornin much b(qter, and upon the appea tongue I thought more mere ary n gave f ‘s'o grains !! , lit , 3 mass, and at 4 two grains. During the n:ght E e rested tolerably well, had no pain, and remazked: to me that all his functions worked well. He coi nplained to Mrs. RowcroE about 10 o'clock at 1.1i,,t1 it that he had had a severe spasm which none of trs . noticed. " Satui day, Aug. 23.—We aJI considered him much l'et!er, the coating of the t o nguo commenced brealtin. , 2;a t tlic edges, and the flesh was moist, with a gentle pet spiration. From the sy. rnptoms I judged a little quinine necessary, and , gave two grains, with ono of Dover powder. Dunn g the forenoon he appeared very drowsy, but won ld occasionally start up, and, at times, was a little delirious. At 2 p.m. a very marked change to ok place, and the breathing became difficult till p.m., when con- , vulsions continued, though slightly abated, till 10 p.m., when he breathed his last;.

For the full particulars Fee bluo-book, re Re cruiting, No. 28, page 22 ; No, .29 and Nos. 31, 32 ; Enclosure No. 78, et passim,. The perpetual anxieties and persecutions which Mr. Rowcroft underwent after the month of July, 1855, undermined a strong constitution. He lived in perpetual fear of his life from the threats of the lower class of the Irish emigrants who surrounded him, and who carried out their native antipathy against everything British. To this was added a strong suspicion that the American executive Go vernment were privy to the meditated attempt on Ireland, a►,d the whole of Mr. Rowcroft's career in America was one of unmitigated labour and vexa tion. having had his exequatur withdrawn by the American Ministry at the same time with the with drawal of Mr. Crampton's and those of the other two Consuls, Mr. Miwcroft left New York on the 15th of August, 1856, Laving been in office about "Having no means at hand c.,wf preserving the udden, and cannot body, which was becoming exceedirogly putrid and offensive, lie was this day, August in latitude 42 degrees north and longitude 54 deL'rees west, buried with the usual ceremonies..

So short a period, of course, did not give Mr. Rowcroft an opportunity of accumulating property, but, on the contrary, from the expense of taking up his appointment, establishing the consulate, the high price of house rent, provisions, servants, &c., ho would have landed with a wife and five children as poor a man as when he left. The mysterious circumstances attending his death are set; forth in the annexed report of the captain of the ship i❑ which he sailed. His family and the officers on board who witnessed his decease were deeply impre,sed with a feeling that some foul play had taken place, bat were unable to discover any positive evidence.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Ocr. YO. . EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Linklater, the solicitor to the petitioning creditors -- in tho cove of the ft .yal British Bank, applied' to his Honour in consequence of Mr. Johnstone, the mes s:enger of Mr. Commissinner Holroyd's Court, haw ing been obstructed in the execution of his duty, and forcibly ejected, on taking possession, under the warrant of his Honour, of the premises 011 the chief office in Tiareadneedie-street. His assistants had - also been ej,:cted -from the branch offices, but no great vio lence had been used ; but it was intended to raise a question of law. His Honour considered it a contempt of Court, and had the case occurred• in his own court he would have at once ordered a commitment. As it was he would issue a summons against Mr. Harding, the official w alla _ ger, returnable before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. He did not approve of such lawless proceedings. SALE OF DEPOSITORS' ACCOUNTS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Shuttlewcrth proceeded, at the Auction Mar , City, to dispose of a second batch of depositors' accounts and MARS in the Royal British Bank, and though there was not so much confusion as attended the previoue, sale, yet the attendance was almost if not quite as numerous, and the interest evinced during yes t 3rday'e proceedings was far greater than on the pre vious occasion, owing to the recent adjudication in bankruptcy, and the investment of the estate in the bands of Mr. Lee, the official assignee, many different opinions were expressed by those assembled as to the advantages or disadvantages that would be telt by the d!pusitors in this unfortunate bank, resulting from the decision of the Bankruptcy Commissioner, a large num ber averring that the result would be advantageous, but then , were (Alien; who maintained a different opinion ) while some seemed to think that it would not affect them one way or the other. Tne conseutienc was that great anxiety was manifested as to what the accounts would realis under the new state of things which have pre sented Mr. Shuttleworth, having read the conditions of sale, proceeded to observe that iu opening the second sale of depositors' accounts in this bank, he had much satisfac tion in stating that the report of the committee fully bore - out the estimate he made last Friday, when he asserted that no doubt before long there would be a dividend of 6s. or 7s. in the pound, and Mr. 'Harding, the interim manager, had offered to pay ss. in the pound at Christ mas next, and give his promissory notes for 51. in six months from then and another ss. in six months after, in all 18 months. And further than that, Mr. Harding thought the winding up could be effected in two years, when be (M.r. Sbuttleworth) last week reckoned that it would be three Sears, He was still of opinion, from the respectability. of the plopiietnry, ,that all would be paid. No difficulty could arise in the transfer, and he might mention tbuse he sold - last week had been ad mitte(l, and would have been transferred that morning, only be had not bad time to attend at the bank. A get: dew au asked how the recent proceedings in bank ruptcy would affect tlietn ? Mr. 61.iiittleworth said it would he of the greatest advantage to the shareholders. (Several voices, "So we think.") Anuther Gentleman—l I avo been Old this morning at the bank that We Clurt of Bankruptcy can have no thing do with Mr. S'autt'ewurth—Then we stand the same as last week. A G ;nticman— Who would the question of assignment refit with--the Bankruptcy Court, or the Court of Chan- cery ? r. Sh.ittleworth—B AIL It will cost only five mi• nutes eNtra trouble in attending the BAolcruptcy C.mrt to prove the claim. A Gen , lewan—Titen. your fourth conditi.;n must be altered. Instead of saying teat " the vendors will cove nant to appear before the 1111ster or official manager to prove their re-pective debt , ," you should insert, " or the pr ,per officers of the Court of Ba•lruptcy." Mr. Shuttleworth acquiesced, and the words were added. A Gentleman—What expenses do the purchasers have? Mr. Skuttleworth—All but the abstract. The GelAletnan—Aro these free from deduction Mr. Shuttleworth—lhey are char of all ;lability. The Gentleman—What is the nature of a deposit note ? Mr. Shmtleworth—lt is a document given by the bank as receipt for a certain, sum of money, bearing la teral; from the date on which it was iesued. Another tlentlemati-1 have been informed that they pay no interest from the time the bank stopped. Will you read one of the notes ? 111 r. Shuttleworth—i have not got one with me.

A very large meeting of time coal whippers of the port of Landen wee held on Wednesday evening in the St. Mart'''s Sell wl-rmn, Johnson',-street, Shadwell, for the purpose of - Niche, into consideration the best means of alleviatitic the great distress which prevailed amongst the body of coal whippers, and the adoption of some more deeided arid energetic measures for its immediate relief. Teo proceedings having been opened by Mr. BenTtionne, the chairman, JOHN Foul:, a coal whipper, moved the folloe.ing re• solution--“ That in the year 1843 an act of Parliament was passed to release the coal whippers of the port of Ley den from the public houle agency system. That the term for which the act was last renewed expired during the last sea-ion of parliament, and was not again renewed in conse(pience of a pledge, being given to the Board of Trade by 350 of th e coal owners, factors, and roasters of veeseis to carry out its provisions under private arrange ment. Tleit notwithstanding the pledge given by and in the naene if the coal owners, factor,, and masters of the port ( f London, the old system. of public-house truck has been again r : vived, and now about one-third of the whole number are employed by publicans and other tredesmen, and the remaining two-thirds through the office established by the owners and factors ; that this t meeting tees in this state o ;things the commenceme nt of that system from , N with the coal whipper suffetri_d. _ much in time past, and feels morally certain thaw:, the practice is allowed to progress unrestrained byl again with the numbers employed by agents will go on increasingd.s again; nearly the whole of the coal whipping trara_i which c ul omposed the late act of Parliament was almost entirely of coal whippers taken back performed through a system of agenc ie y d f uttmest alarm that they are beingof gradually pn blic-house truck to protect are, and nearly ages oy.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1856. ALARMING STATE 01 1 PARIS. l(Proni, the Morning Advertiser.) We received late last night the following extract from a private letter, not intended for publication, but written by one friend to another, and therefore all the more likely to be free from exaggeration. We have received from other sources information of a very alarming character, which in existing circumstances we think it better not to lay before our readers. The letter from which we quote was written on Thursday. It says: "Business here is going on very badly. Everywhere complaints are made, and you know that in France the fault is always imputed to the Government. Added to this, general discontent prevails, and I may say a vague apprehension is entertained of something about to hap pen. Night after night People assemble in crowds in the streets, especially in the poorer quarters. The police have endeavoured to disperse them without noise, being unwilling to excite the slightest commotion, but during the night mysterious arrests are made, and at daylight three or more persons have disappeared, nobodly know ing anything about them. Besides these meetings, printed bills are continually posted on the walls, but they are not suffered to remain there a long time ; the police, always vigilant, tear them down almost as soon as they appear. Yesterday I saw one of these bills, still wet, torn down by a serpent de Dille in my presence. I had hardly time to read it through, but I caught these worde The people will undergo plague, famine, and every possible evil, rather than be any longer subjected to the yoke of the oppressor. Death to the tyrant !' At the head of the bill were these words Death to the despot !' A few paces farther on was another; but, assailed by the police, I dared not stay. This time, however, I saw the words :—' Bread for 3 or 13 sous, or death ! In short, if the higher classes complain of he scarcity of money, and, the difficulty of raising it, the lower complain of the want of food and the high price of lodgings. On this last head, landlords share the public execration with the Chief of the State._ One.. ei them was hanged a few days ago, and another thrown out of a fifth-floor window by his exasperated lodgers. I would not repeat the rumours which are in circula tion concerning the health of the Emperor, did they not tend to show the disposition of the public mind. He is said to be labouring under a spinal affection, and these rumours., accepted and diffused with wonderful eagerness, attest the feelings of hatred with which he is regarded by the mass." A VISIT TO KANSAS. The following letter has been addressed to the editor .f the Times : a time when affairs in Kansas are as suming so threatening an aspect, it may not be uninteresting to your readers to receive some de tails in the form of a personal narrative of things actually seen and beard during a tour of inquiry in that territory, made in the early part of this sum mer. Reliable information on this subject is sadly lacking, not in our own country alone,,but even in the eastern States of America. 1 make no attempt in this communication to inform as to the previous history or, to argue as to the probable issues of this controversy. My desire is to give a simple picture of the actual condition of affairs as exhibited by my The period of my vi s it t o K ansas was own experiences in th e t err it ory . precisely that of the great outburst of violence in May last, which resulted in the town of Lawrence being attacked, the principal hotel being battered down and then reduced to ashes, the print ing-offices of the Free State journals being burnt down, the type and presses being destroyed and cast into the Kaw river, and the city being given over to a merciless sack. On the same day, and by the same agency, occurred the firing of Governor Robinson's house, and the arrest of hiniself and others without a legal warrant. Of Governor Robinson, we read in the i n t e lli g ence brought this week by the Arabia that, after four•months' con finement, without trial, in the goal at Lecompton, t a short time he has at, length been rel ease d on bail. As it was duringmy l lot t his f to o b r e ce i d jo n t i r s ne co yi ni nga p ras a prisoner, will select select iu preference that pcittiori of_ my travelfirig experiences which will contribute one page to the history of Governor Robinson's imprisonment, while it will sufficiently illustrate the condition of the territory at that excited period. It was a fearful night which followed the attack on Lawrence. I was in Kansas city, and shall never forget the appearance of the lawless mob that poured into the place, inflamed with drink, glutted with the indulgence of the vilest passions, displaying with loud boasts the " plunder" they had taken from the inhabitants, and thirsting for the opportunity to repeat the sack of Lawrence in some other offending place; men of large frame for the most part, with red flannel shirts and im mense boots worn outside their trousers, their faces unwashed and unshaven, still reeking with the dust and smoke and bloodshed of Lawrence, wearing the most swage looks and giving utterance to the most horrible imprecations and blasphemies ; armed, moreover, to the teeth with rifles and revolvers, cutlasses and bowie-knives. I felt that all my former experiences among border men and Missou rians were as nothing compared with this wretched crew, who appeared only the more terrifying from the darkness of the surrounding night. The hotel in Kansas city where we were was the next place, they said, that should fall ; the attack was being planned that night, and such should be the end of every place which was built by Free State men, or that harboured " those rascally Abolitionists." Happily, this threat was not ful filled. A number of these men became my companions for the night, as I went up by one of the Missouri steamboats from Kansas to Leavenworth city, which, as the centre of operations, I desired to make my head-quarters while investigatinc, the condition of affairs in the territory. The otherbfellow-passeu eers were for the most part of the like order. A few Germans, carrying their stock-in-trade to turn an honest penny by peaceful traffic while other people were fighting ; a company of Now Mexicans, making their way through Kansas to Santa Fe, a more gen tlemanly party to whom I shall again have occasion to refer ; and, for the rest, a crowd of adventurers little better than those just taken on board, who might be classed generally, under the head of " border ruffians," made up, with a single excep tion or two, our travelling party for the .night. A general rush to the bar ensued. Already mad dened with whisky, each would treat his fellow in arms :—" Step up and liquor here, you sir. A heap finer this stuff than that there rot gut ashore. Here, you sir ; don't be askeared. One of our boys, I reckon ? All right on the goose, eh ? No high falutin' airs here, you know. Keep that for them Yankee blue-bellies down East. If there's any of that sort here I reckon they'd better make off mighty quick, and that's a fact, while I'se on board, unless they want to make a quicker road out than they came in. Yes, sir, this here tool of mine (handling a pistol), it isn't, the first time it has seen a blue-belly. If there's any of that 'ors sort aboard, I say they'd better take off, that's sartin. We ain't agoin' to stand them comin' here, we ain't. Isn't their own place down East big enough for them, I should like to know ? We ain't agoin' to stand their comic' and dictatin' to its with their d—d nigger-worshipping, we ain't. I reckon we'll make the place hot enough for them soon, that's a fact. Here, boys, drink. Step up this way, old hoes, and liquor." And thus the midnight talk went on—talk which I neither care to remember nor to repeat, and in which I am compelled to omit the fearful expletives of blasphemy which interrupted, not every sentence merely, but every word or two of the dialogue. Others sat down to cards, and quarrelled over their losses; some, more sleepy, threw themselves on the cabin floor to rest. In all, there were near 200 on board, and, as it was evident that the majority must sleep on the floor, I hastened to secure one of the berths, and thus to seek relief, if possible, from the distracting noise. In a smaller degree, I had had so much of a similar experience before that I managed to sleep, only awakened at times by a louder shout from the bar or the gaming table. In this morning, like the rest, I was early astir. My Western companions, accustomed to frequent potations, seemed already sobered down by their few hours' rest. If less boisterously demonstrative, however, in relation to " Yankee Abolitionists " than in the night, the'change was only to an ani mosity of a more calculating and determined cha racter. News of fresh strife had come on board during the night.. " Extras" of the different jour nals, in the form of printers' slips, containing the latest intelli g ence, were put on board and largely circulated. These invariably contained distorted accounts of the events of the hour, and appeals of a most inflammatory character. As they were read aloud to the eager listeners they gave occasion to renewed determinations to "fight the nigger-wor shipping crew to the last drop of blood:" One " extra" I obtained, issued by the Border Times at Westport, in which the outrages at Lawrence were announced beneath the heading, " The Kan sas Ball Opened—War in Earnest." In another,a Lecompton paper, the narrative was headed, " Lawrence taken—Glorious Triumph of the Lair and-Order Party over Fanaticism in Kansas." When cold.blouded murder, which left behind it destitu tion, widowhood, and orphanage comes to be re garded by journalists as the mere opening of a ball and a ground for exultation, it is not to be won dered at that the men who perpetrated these deeds were eager to acquire fresh glory in the achieve ment of further " triumphs." A single incident must suffice as an il lustration. Before I had left my be rth man y minutes I was at ttrraacvleeldleity—tl"eobnletiste of the ring talk of one of my fellow most respectabl e mer chants in Weston," asl w as informed, 'b ut one who, as was evident, did not deny himself in the rum. punch, gin-sling, brandy-cocktails, and other com pounds issued at the bar. This respectable merchant was surrounded, as he stood in the cabin of the boat, by a circle, whom I joined. Out of a side pocket protruded the head of a pistol ; in his hand he brandished another, loaded, ashe told us, and ready for action. With threaten_ ing aspect and attitude, he vented himself, amid many oaths, of the following language, addressed to us all : by G— I am. I'll teach th ese i n f errial " I am bound to bring do wn some one before I'm pertly, that's a raet. It' there's a dog - gaun ed Abo litionist aboard I done . I ste te a l i l in y g ou k , reesoilers a lesson right should like to see him , th at I should. 'l'in the roan to ' put a chunk of lead into his wooly head right off, that's what I'll do.' Then, looking round at each of us, reckon I can raise the top off the head of ere a one of you with this here tail. Speak the word, and, by I'm your man. That's so. I should like to see the first Freesoiler that opens his mouth ; that I should. I'd send him to hell pretty q uick, afore he kno w 'd w h a t he was about that's what l l'd do. I'm a mighty ce-urA n customer, I am.'" And so thought, probably, one of his hearers, for he said to the curious customer, " Como, cid boss,. won't you have some breakfast The cld horse was not to be so easily diverted, however. "Breakfast ! think I'd be after breakfast when Ivo got rny duty before me ? Exercise is the thing for be —not eatiog. I tell you I'm bound to bring down sole one afore I'm done—that I am. I've got to fight for the liberties of my country, and rid the p lace of those Caw. ardly blue:bellied Yankees—that' •- I've got t o ri o . I should like to know what they've to do i n t hi s bwe, place, Wit'l their snarling, sneaking ways. I te ll Sou there's riot a man amongst them as knows how to fight. I ehOuldiike to see the - first. one atg will open Elie moth here,,—thas's what I eliould like to ... eoe, j t e ll ,3 , 9 u 1,01 a ce-urious customer—my dog knows that,' pointing to a large dog which seemed prepared to stand by its mas ter for better or worse. Then ' I should like to Fee the man that would touch that 'ere dog of mine. rd lay him dead in a moment, that I would. Just see me.' " None of us felt inclined to touch the dog, and the respectable merchant returned to his politics and patriotism. "No Northern nigger-stealers here. I'll fix 'em up migb y smprt, I will. I ain't here for nothing, and that you'll see, .just about as soon as anything. I only want to see the first Freesoiler here. I'll drop the first one of you that opens his mouth for abolition cusses ; I be dog- gauned if I don't." And thus this valiant patriot went on for about a half-hour, ringing the changes on these few forms of expression, and giving every one an opportu nity to accept his challenge and take the conse quences. I remained no longer in this Western merchant's immediate presence than was necessary to prevent my Ix coming an object of his suspicion. Being anxious to obtain some information as to the hotels or other places of stay in Leavenworth, I went on to the hurricane-deck, - having been told I should there meet with some who could answer my in quiries. I there found the more gentlemanly party to whom I have referred, but whom until this moment I had not seen. One or two appeared to be United States' officers, men of education and refinement. Another, a gentleman more advanced in years, held himself somewhat apart, and ap peared engaged in anxious thought. He had an eye full of bright intelligence, and wore the aspect of one who was superior to those about him. I gained the information I sought from one of the officers, and took his recommendation to go to M`Carty's hotel at Leavenworth, where he himself was about to stop. I did not know as yet, how ever, who were my companions, and could only get evasive replies to my inquiries on the subject from the clerk of the boat. I again descended to the cabin. The respectable merchant from Weston was still continuing his challenges, pistol in band. .‘ I should like to see the first one that opens his mouth. I reckon he'd have to take the change mighty smart. Lead's the bestargument for these infernal white livered Yankees. Let me alone for tamin' them down ; let 1119 alone for that, I say. I reckon they won't he a tryin' on this game again a little whiles. That's just about what I think." And so on, without intermission. At my side stood a young man who had lived for some years in Kansas territory, trading with the Indians. We had travelled iu company during four or five days in coming up the Missouri, and our intercourse had led to a certain degree of mutual confidence'. He was a thorough Western man, and at the same time a favourable specimen of his class, possessing in a largo degree th e b e tt e r t ra its wlich mark the Western character, and displaying few of the worst. As we should soon have to part, tie inquired of me what part of the Union I came from. I replied, in a tone which I hoped would not catch the ear of the noisy patriot in arms, and he had mistaken me as a native of the Union, and that I belonged to the old country, my home being London. "In deed," said my friend the Indian trader, " I had guessed you were a Northern man. Your dress and looks aren't like our people's out West." " That is probable," I replied. " Yes, that's so," he proceeded, "and there's several aboard who've been talking about you, and they've all set you down for a Northerner." I hinted, in reply, that I bad no desire to excite remark on board, and glanced suggestively at our neighbour who was threatening to blow the brains out of the first Nor thern man who should open bis mouth. My friend saw my meaning immediately, and, dropping his voice to a whisper, said : "Let me, as one that knows the ways of the people hero, give you .a word of caution, which you may find useful, now that you're setting foot in these parts. Don't let a soul of them' know that you're an Englishman. Should it get out, it's just as much as your life is worth, mind that. That's the state we're in just now, all alongside of that cursed slavery question. If you said you're an Englishman it's all the same as being a Yankee; not a bit better. And you know the law there—a Yankee is a nuisance, and nuisances munt be abolished. That's what they all say there. So you mind • and don't forget what I say." I thanked him for the advice, and told him I had already determined to follow his counsel. As for himself, he said, he did not believe the Southern men had any right to do what they had done in K tnsas; but, being a thorough Western man, and known in the territory for years, ho could go about and they would not touch him, especially as he did not take part with the Abolitionist fanatics. If they did touch him everybody knew what would be the consequences. And as I looked at his fine athletic frame, and noticed the powerful muscle of his arm and the steady gaze of his eye, long trained to guide the bead of his 'Hie, I thought I, too, could perceive what would be the consequence of having this Western man for an enemy. But he had given me wise counsel and kind, and I was glad to think the . son of the prairie was my friend. By about 9 o'clock we reached Leavenworth city. It would excite a smile if I were to describe the aspect of this " city" of loghouses and wooden shanties ; as it would if I were I to narrate the strange adventures incident to Western travel. But that is beside my purpose. The majority of the passengers, with myself, landed. A great crowd received us, all evidently eager with expectation and excitement. To my astonishment, the moment after landing I perceived that the older gentleman whom I had seen on the hurricane-deck was a pri soner. Surrounded by a number of persons, includ ing the United States' officers, he was led ofetowards MiCarty's Hotel, my purposed place of stay. " Who's that they've got there ?" " Who's that been caught, eh?" were the eager questions put on many sides. " It's Governor Robinson, been brought round from Lawrence by way of Kansas city," was the reply of one in the crowd. " Go vernor Robinson, Governor Robinson? Who taught you to call that infernal nigger stealer Governor, I should like to know," was the instantaneous rejoinder. " Say the word again, and I will blow your brains out for an Abolition traitor ; he is Doctor Robinson, and nothing else ; that's what he is, and he shan't be that long . It's time we'd got rid of these dog-gauned Abolitionists." Thus surrounded by the menaces and imprecations of a savage mob, the ex-Governor was led up the steep road which conducted to the small wooden house known as M`Ca.rty's Hotel. I followed, and, first inquiring for my own ac commodation, was met by the answer that if I would come in again at night I might take a chance of a place on the floor. This was sufficiently un promising. I then went to a larger house, the • head-quarters of the Pro-slavery party, but met no better reception. Leaving, therefore, the question of accommodation I returned to M'Carty'a, where I was informed I could get a meal. The ex- Governor Robinson I found in the front room of the house; be was standing up, and was being put through a close examination by those in the room. A greatertcrowd collected outside the open windows and door, and as I mixed among this crowd I heard the constantly-repeated expressions, " Let us get hold of him ; d—d if we don't sarve him out, monstrous quick. The hangin' bone villain, he may say his prayers mighty smart now. I'll be dog-gauned if we don't string him up afore the day's out. He ought to have a shot through his head directly—that's how I'd sarve him." Sick of hearing such expressions, filled with the vilest oaths, went into the office of the hotel and sat down on a vacant chair to meditate and to ob serve. In the corner of the room, in place of trunks and travelling-bags, were rifles and double barrels, dirks and sticks, of that weight and calibre which only a Western American thinks of carrying. The clerk and the persons passin g in and out had nothing to speak of but "the fig hting." On the counter were papers, heading their columns with the words—" War to the knife." Everything around was suggestive of warfare and bloodshed. I had sat for a few minutes, when there entered a man—a Southerner by his very looks. " Hand me a pair out of them hundred pistols I left with you, Captain, were the words which, with a slow drawl ing voice, he addressed 'tO the clerk at the counter. Then, glancing his cool eye at me and another in the room, and feeling probably that we might de sire an explanation, be slowly added—" I've just had a turn down hero with a d—d Freesoiler." We still looked inquiringly, and as ho adjusted his pistols in his belt he proceeded for our satisfaction —" l'd got nothing with me. I didn't ought to have left these here tools behind this morning, any how. I didn't leave him though till I made him give in. He came out with his cursed abolitionism. I settled him, though, mighty quick. I just put my hand behind me, like this, pretending I had got my pistols with me ; and so, with my hand upon them, as he reckoned, he didn't stand out long. But'l felt mighty queer, I' tell you. Still I wasn't goin' to stand his sarcy talk, in course ; so I jest shut him up, mighty quick." By this time the pistols were adjusted, and as he walked out their valiant wearer continued a kind of soliloquy—. " Well, I reckon I'm fixed now They Won't be so (From the Morning Post.) The uneasiness which undeniably exists in the French money market has been, and is, the subject of much miere•.resentation. By one class of persons French credit is declared to be upon the very verge of ruin, and ripe for a collapse at any moment—by another it is represented as not only perfectly free from danger, but actually augmenting in strength and security. Political interest has much t ) do with both these statements. There are advocates of other dynasties who will support anything that will overthrow the present. There are remnants of the republic ever anxious with both hands to injure the cause of the empire. The oie are ready to affirm the existence of evils they cannot prove, and the other to deny advantages which they cannot but per ceive. The least change in the current, or the slightest disturbance of the even flow of public affairs, is their opportunity. When France went to war, the Orleanists thought their day of redemption was beginning to dawn. Never supposing that France could rise to the occasion under any dynasty but their own, they looked confi dently for a crisis that never came—for disasters that never happened, and political disturbances that never took place. Events did not favour them, and they are now quiet again. The war did not serve their turn — it served the turn of France—which, next to that of the public cause of Europe, was its legitimate result. Our own share in it served our turn, and we rejoice in the augmented glory which it has brought to our nation. Thoroughly righteous in its beginning, operation, and end, it has injured none but the aggressive Power against which it was waged, and has confirmed, rather than endangered, the stability of the French Empire. A temporary tightening of the Paris money market has opened out a new vein for those who have all to gain and nought to lose by any mishap to French credit. But though it would be absurd to deny that the tight ness is severe while it lasts, it would be equally so to conclude that it argues or augurs any important disturb. ance of the public finances. The public securities have certainly fallen to a lower point than they were at any of the great revolutions ; and if those revolutions had been brought about by the fall of public securities there would be good ground for anxiety lest a like cause should again produce a like result. But those disasters, as every history knows, had their origin in provocations fundamentally different, and were the causes, and not the consequences, of the decline in the funds. Those who do not wish well to France under the Empire, may tax their ingenuity to make out an unfavourable case ; but if any impartial looker on, of ordinary powers of comprehension, will examine the depths of the sub ject, he will see that the present state of the Bourse has in it no element of either permanent embarrassment or political anxiety. It is simply a question of time. The cause and extent of the mischief are definite and easily trace able. In a country'situated as France has been for the last five years, it is impossible that periodical panics should not occur. They happen under our own old-fashioned system, and in spite of our jog-trot ways and the unimpeachable stability of our constitution. Much more must they be looked for in a country whiele unexampled prosperity dates but from three years back, which has just come through a war of immense cost, and has embarked in enormous public works not only in its own but in other countries. If the present pressure be more felt in France than the like of it would be in Eng land, it is entirely owing to the difference in the basis of public credit. Here nearly all the great works—whether railways, harbours, canals, banks, streets, squares, and the like—are carried on by private enterprise. Govern ment interferes only far enough to legalise their contracts and prevent their running wild or eating one another up. It guarantees nothing. It charges no contingent loss upon the public Exchequer. It carefully abstains from mixing itself up with the pecuniary responsibilities of joint-stock undertakings. It thus preserves for its secu rities a safe minimum value, however commercial affairs may go amiss. Under the English system a bank breaks, a railway becomes insolvent, a bubble bursts, and two or three, or two or three dozen, great houses are smashed and some excellent families ruined, but that is all. Bad enough, truly, but private after all, and not in the least affecting our national credit. The panic is scarcely felt before it is gone, and all the g reat transactions of the kingdom continue as itnothinghad happened ; thereensues no additional taxation, no capitalising ot obligations, no in crease of the national burdens. The rate of discount is raised as a precautionary matter, unreal speculation gets its hint and stops, the market resumes its buoyancy, and all goes on as before. How different it would be if the public Exchequer had guaranteed dividends upon the great( r und, rtakings may be easily imagined. The public would 11l have borne a guarantee of LI. per cent. to the Great Western when its dividend wee at 2/. Nor would it regard Mr. Lowe with much fat our el •ald 1 • propose next session to guy aetee the sharehtl dors f theSouth-Eastern, the Crystal Palace, or the Unity Bank' But it is otherwise abroad. Governments are more or less mixed up with all the great undertakings, and to guarantee dividends especially on foreign capital is an important part of their system. In Franca this has been done largely ; and the result is that the Govern me'nt is to some extent a sufferer by the fluctuations of the Bourse, without having that power of interference which alone can control its proceedings within safe limits. The tendency to undue speculation in France has long been apparent, and it is not to be supposed that it could go on without entailing commercial difficulties. The enormous transactions of the Credit Mobilier may be very successful as a whole, but they are particularly likely to affect the money market in a most critical way. Two peculiar features in it increase this tendency—the first is the practice of capitalising a large portion of its profits ; the next is the undertaking of foreign works. By the first a large portion of the due returns of capital never reaches the shareholders except as a dividend upon a dividend; and by the second an immense exportation of specie is rendered necessary. This money never returns as money. It goes out as silver capital, and comes back as paper interest. It is part of a good investment that you should be able to reclaim your capital when you want it. But this is just what you cannot do if you ex port your specie to pay the works on Austrian and Spanish railways. The shares may be transferred from one owner to another, and the individuals be no loser, but the country does not get the money back. This is the rub. If a country can stand a drain of 5,000,0101. of its circulating medium without ditculty, that is an other thing, but few countries can ; and we believe that it will soon be recognised that the extension of the ope rations of the Credit Mobilier must be so regulated as to unite in better proportions than it now does the two great items of credit and capital. To undue specula tion, party legitimate and partly fictitious, the present panic must mainly be attributed, but it is capable at once both of stoppage and remedy. Unremunerative public works at hom e may also have added somewhat to trueaultleynanted. wanted it no is but b i u s t a simply the wrong side.
