POLICE INTELLIGENCE -YESTERDAY, LIVERPOOL. IVIFORE MR. R. GLADSTONE. A SEMMON—NUT IN A STONE !—Edward Devlin, described es a cart-owner, and driver, was brought up by police-officer 286, on a charge of having assaulted him, and also for an assault on a person named Silvester Sermon. The officer said he was going up Park-lane, near where the prisoner has some stables, when he observed the prisoner beating the complainant in a savage manner. He had hold of him with his teeth, worrying him as a dog would a cat. Witt)/Ps interfered, when the prisoner turned on him, and kicked him severely in the legs. Sermon said the prisoner ill-treated him without any cause. The prisoner said the last witness interfered .with him in his stables, and he was only putting him away. He was fined £2, or in default of payment, one month's imprisonment. DESERTING A SHIP. —A sailor, named Henry Bradley, was brought up by Superintendent Murphy, of the Sailors' Home, on the following charge :—lt appeared that on the 24th of November he shipped on board a vessel called the Georgiana, and got an advance note for £5, which he got cashed, and then ran away. On the 16. h December he shipped on board the ship Akber, belonging to Messrs. Shalcross and Co., and received £2 10s. aovance, and also absconded. These facts being proved, the prisoner was sent to jail for two months, with hard labour. CHARGE of Asseurea—Mr. Norton, described as a corn dealer and warehouse keeper, was charged by police officer 164 with assaulting him, It appeared that on Saturday evening two persons brought some wheat to the defendant's store, but he, not thinking all right, called the t fficer, and, after some consultation, the defendant sal i he would give the men in charge on suspicion of stealing the corn. The officer called a comrade, 471, and after some conversation they agreed to take the man themselves. The defendant then went to take the officers' number, and, as the l a t ter alleged, he struck him on th e s id e o f the face. Mr. Bluck, for the defendant, cross-examined the witness, who said he knew the defendant to be a respectable man, and he might have summoned him. He dragged him through the streets the fame as he would drag any one Blsek addressed his Worship and contended, in strong lar page, that the officers had, in the first instance, refused to take the men into custody on the charge of Mr. Norton ; then, when they took him on their own account, Mr. Norton merely wished to ascer tain the officer's number for the purpose of reporting him, when the officer dragged him like a felon through the streets. He then called a youth, who said he saw the whole affair. He swore that Mr. Norton only put his hand on his arm to take his number. The officer asked the witness if he did not see the defendant strike him in the jaw? and he raid, "No, but I saw you strike him." His Worship said, the police had a right to take the men into custody on the charge of Mr. Norton, in the first instance, for if there was any responsibility attached to it, he was liable. He did not think that Mr. Norton had acted altogether with erudence after the police had taken the men themselves, but uncer all the circumstances, he would discharge mr. Norton. A POLICEMAN DISMISSED. —John M'Hugh, late police officer 822, was brought by Superintendent Sibbald, on a charge of having assaulted polite-officer 485, on Saturday night. Mr. Sibbald said, about a quarter to two o'clock on Sunday morning he found the prisoner drunk on his beat. He told him to go home, as he was unfit for duty. He refused to go, e hen witness remonstrated with him ; but instead of taking his advice, to go home, he usel most blasphemous language. He then called officer 485, who advised hint to go home, bat instead of doing so, the prisoner flung his hat into the street, and flew at the other man, and assaulted him violently. The prisoner said he had no language to express what he felt. He really did not at all know what had taken place, as he eid not remember a rartiele of what had happened. His head was altogether out of ord 3r when ha took any drink. He was extremely sorry for what had taken place. Mr. Ride, one of the chief superintendents, said the prisoner joined the force on the 28th September, anl had been reported several times since for beirg under the influence of drink, and was, on one occasion, fined 2t. He was not reclaimed, and when he c mmitted the present offence, he was under a month's notice to leave the force. His Worship fined the prisoner £2 for the assault on the other constable, and directed hint to be dismissed from the force BEGGING IMPOSTORS.—Two men named John Johnston and Joseph F. Beresford, were brought up by officer 82, on a charge of being begging impostors. From the evidence of the officer and other persons, it appeared that the prisoners were in Great Howard-street, on Saturday even ing, going from shop to shop, soliciting subscriptions for Captain Allen (one of the prisoners who assumed that name), alleging that he was shipwrecked, and lost all his property in a vessa called the Dart. They hid a certifi cate, purporting to be signed by two magistrates, at Kingstown, Dublin, one cf whom was represented to be Mr. William Hutchinson, who is not a magistrate, but the Harbour Master at Kirgstown. This document had the names of se - eral Liverpool merchants attached to it, as subscribers, all of which were forgeries. The prisoners had also a book, in which the names of several persons were entered, as subscribing for Captain Fisher, who was shipwrecked ; all forgeries. The prisoners were remanded. A. boy named Jacob Michaele, was remanded on a charge of having stolen a gold brooch, value £4, from a Mrs. Ferguson, the stewardess of the ship Emerald. The boy came frcm New York in the vessel. PACKING BOTTLES.—Two men, of the names of William Weir and Michael Collins, were placed in the dock, charged with stealing a quantity of bottles from the ware house of Mr. Cannington, glass and bottle manufacturer, Vauxhall-road. It seemed that on Saturday Collins went to the warehouse, and obtained an order on purchase for eight dozen, each of two descriptions, of bottles. It was the duty of Weir, who was employed in the establishment for three years and a half, to pack the bottles, and Collins took the order to him. In the morning he took one crate, supposed to contain eight dozen bottles, away, and in the evening he returned for the other crate. Mr. Canningtcn, having cause to suspect that all was not right, secured the services of Detective-officer Laycock, and had Collins arrested the moment he quitted the premises. When the crate was unpacked it was found to contain twelve dozen and odd betties in place of eight dozen, and the fleet crate was also f und to contain some where about the same quantity in excess of the order. Collins, when arrested, said that he did not know the quantity in the crates, but that they should be no more than eight dozen in each. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoners, and urged that a guilty knowledge had not been proved against Collins, and that it was not shown that Weir had counted the crates before delivering them. The prisoners were discharged, His Worship not deeming the evidence sufficient to warrant a conv i ct i on. STEALING CORN FROM A Wennuousz.—The two men, Buxton and Furlong, porters, who were remanded on Monday, on a cha ge of steeling corn from the warehouse of Messrs. Seger and Tunnieliffe, Regent road, were brought up and committc d for trial. They were defended by Mr. Black and Mr. Campbell. BEFORE moss. HOLT AND CROPPER. William 111 4 111aLien, a iumper, was fined £2 10.1. for an assault on William Roberts. BIRKENHEAD. BEFORE W. JACKSON AND R. BRYANS, MO. A SIXPENNY Tuzap.—John Brown, alias Welsh, who was remanded on Saturday last, that enquiries might be made abut him, was again placed in th dock on a charge of being found in the house of William Perrey, in Brook street, and stealing a sixpence thei . efrom. From the evidenca adduced it npp3ared that Mr. Perrey }rears a small shop, the entrance to wh eh is from the same door as that which leads to the ()diet. parts of th 3 house. On Friday last, he (Mr. Perrey) was coming from the kitchen to the shop, and on passing the parlour he heard a drawer beirg shut, upon which he looked and saw the prisoner there, with his hand on the handle of the drawer, who, directly he found he was detecte,:, put back a sixpence he had taken out of it. Being unable to g‘ve a good account of himself, he was given into custody. When the prisoner was before the magistrate on Saturday, he stated that he was only just front Ireland, and if the magistrate would forgive him ho would go back to Ireland again. Appearances, however, were against hi m , an d he was remanded until yesterday f or inquiry, the result of which was that the prisoner was found to have been in custody, for felony, at Liverpool, no longer ago than ;he 7th instant, but, fo r wan t o f ev id ence, h e was discharged. The Bench s a id it was qu ' te ev id ent t h at the prisoner had not told the truth, and as he could not give a good account of himself, he mast go to the Home cf . Correction for six weeks, with hard labour. POACIIINC.—James Burgess, a tall strong looking fellow, who said he was a striker, and employed at the Canada Works, at Birkenhead, was charged with being found upon the land of Thomas Brocklebask, Esq., at Storetor, and in the act of setting snares for game. The case was clearly proved by Thomas Jones, one of Mr. Brocklebank's game keepers, who caught him in !he act of setting snares in a plantation called the Cow Hey, on Saturday list, at about twelve o'clock noon, ashen he tock him into custody, and upon searching hint found twenty-eight snares in his possession. Fined 203 and costs, or twenty-one days hard labour in Chester Castle The prisoner preferred the latter, and was sent off shortly after. ACCIDENTS CN IRISH RAILROADS.—A return from the ocroners of Ireland since 1846 of all accidents to labourers or others employed in the construction 6f railroads in Ireland or other public works, gives 69 as the total num ber of accidents by the falling in of embankments of earth, the blastiLg of stones, and other cognate cauEe3. CORONER'S COURT. LITERATURE. The Coroner held the following inquests yesterday : On the body of Thomas Simon, a labourer, who resided in Icing-street, Park, whose body was found on Sunday in the Pottery Hole. It appeared that, on Saturday night, the deceased went hone and gave his wages to his wife. He then went out in order to get shaved, but was not seen after, until his body was found in the hole. It would appear that he was to have received some club money on Saturday night, but his wife did not knew whether he had got the money or not. From certain marks found on the head and body of deceasA, it was suppos,d that some foul play had been resorted to, and the inquest was adjourned tor the purpose Obeying a post morteza examination cf the body made, and also to procure some farther evidence. Oa the body of James bi Kenna, a porter, who died in the Northern Thspital On Friday last the deceased was at work on board the City of Manchester s'eamer, and, by some accident, a sack of corn fell out of the hook and fell es the back of deceased and fractured the spine ; and Dr. Wall, of the hospital, s ated that the deceased died from the injuries. Verdict, " Accidental Death." On the body of a labourer, named Jamcs Moore, who was foun t ) drowned. The enly evidence in this case was, that deceased left a comrade after 12 on Saturday nigh', and was not teen after. Verdict. " Found Drowned." On the body of a child named Skelly, that was burnt in Bent -street. The dwails of this c.ss appeared in our paper of yesterday. The jury found a verdict of "Accidentally Burnt."

Of " free trade" Mr. Train is an ener getic and thorough champion to the fullest extreme. " Stop building custom-houses, but nothing else,'' he urges with repeated emphasis. That Mr. Train does not hold out any hopes of a speedy and easy restoration of commercial tran quility, the reader will have perceived from the passage just quoted. Ho plainly declares that the sooner the world makes up its mind for a commer cial struggle, surpassing in depth and extent every other the history of mankind records, the better. " You may take," he says, " all Use statistics of all the panics for the last three centuries, add them up, and then multiply by two, and you will not make a sum equal to the general depreciation on property throughout the world in the years 1857 and 1858," In the following passage Mr. Train argues his point by a comparison between the position of American Banks during former emergencies and the position they are placed in now. In 1814 all the Banks of the country failed except those of Ne,v Eagland (their paper was worth twenty per cant. above that of the Federal Government; this time I should judge its value was considerably more than that below •it). About the time that the Iron Duke prayed " that night or Blucher would come to his assistance," and the "Little Corporal" was straining his eyes through a telescope for Grouche, on the Field of Waterloo, the United States found it somewhat difficult to get a discount, and thousands were made bankrupt. The war closed; National Bank number two was eft iblie'aed; Maideon signed the charter, April 10th. 1816. Its capital was thirty-five million dollars. The charter was for twenty years. National Bank number one had a capital of ten millions. The charter was signed by Washington for twenty years. About the time that it expired, another Bank was projected, bat Clint° casting vote defeated the bill. The next Congress succeeded in establishing the Bank which has made Biddle famous. The banks having failed, this great national institution was a blessing- to the caunzry. The other banks struggled hard to keep their heads above water. In 4'ebruary, 1816, the Union Bank tried to resume specie payment; the Virginia Banks copied her example. In June, 1817, the New York Legislature passed a bill compelling the suspended banks to pay twelve per cent. interest on their notes if they did not resume. (Why are the bill holders not waking up to this f o r c i ng process?) Towards the en of the year gold poured in, but the expansion and sudden contraction of the National Bank broke nearly all the merchants. Paper expansion occasioned the panic. The National Bank worked mach better than the others. I believe the pane of 1825 would have been worse without it. On the 10th of July, 1832, " Old Hickery" vetoed the U. S. Bank bill, and the following October removed the deposits, amounting in the several bank to forty million dollars. That year the thirty per c:nt. (sliding scale) tariff went into effect. To prevent a crisis arising from the removal of the specie, Biddle commenced discounting. The extent of the expansion can ba seen by the fact that the bank issues increased from 360,000,000 dols in 1835, to 525,000,000 dole before 1837. Of course this expansion drove the specie out of the country to pay the foreign credi , ors, and buy the forego grebe, and eat everybody to speculating in "under wawa' lands, and all kinds of stocks. 'Tis always so. To arre3t these insane land speculations, General Jack son issued the Treasury Circular 11th July, 1836, providing that all receipts for the sale of public lands must lee made in geld and slyer. It was afterwards modified, permitting the receipts of the bills of specie-paying Banks. During the balance of the year, the rumbling of the distant thunder announced the approaching storm. Jusenhs cerntneneel the ball in March. Their liabilities were some 7,000,000 dols ; their assets exceeded this sum about a million. About the same amouirts were shown by the Ohio Life and Trust Company, and I think they will pay about the same dividend ! Morgan, receiver f,r the country Banks, came down next. 'Twas the woe this time with Thompson. The failures from October, '36, to April, '37, were some 70,000,000 dols. The failures from August to November, 1857, will amount to some 200,000,000 dots. Two hundred houses stopped in Boston in six weeks. Specie ranged from ten to fmrteea per cent. premium, when out came another Treasury Circular, authorising Government to receive in payment, on all occasions, the bills of specie-paying Banks. The absurdity of this measure will be observed by remembering that all the Banks had failed—as is the case. to day. Then the New York Banks came down on the 10th of Iley. The Boston and New England Banks followed. ' This year I remark the same analogy. The next day the Baltimore and Peiladelphta Banks broke. Tais time they preceded New York. The merchants' circular to Government, prepared by the 3rd of May Committee, spoke of the great depreciation of property, some thirty to forty per cent., and the terrible effect of the hard times upon the rich as well as the poor. Twenty thousand men were out of employment. There ale twice that now, and the hard times have hardly commenced. Twelve hundred thousand dollars in specie were sent abroad in August, 1837, and the Government got out their Treasury notes. About the same amount came this way in the " Persia " in October, 1857. On the 27th of November, 1837, one hundred and thirty-five banking delegate-, representing eighteen States, met to discuss the necessity of resuming specie payment. They were in session fonr days, and adjourned till April, having accomplished nothing bat drinking up a good quantity of bad liquor, and eating everything that came tie their way, (for the benefit of their shareholders). Have there been any similar meetings this year ? • On the 16th of April, 1838, they met again, and advised all to resume cn the first Monday of January, 1839. The only result of this second meeting was, the discussing of a few more good dinners. The advice was a dead letter. The banks tried to resume, and failed. The United States Bank of Pennsylvania suspended on the 9111 of September, 1839. This bank, it will be remembered, was raised upon the worn-out fabric of the old National Bank, vetoed by Jackson in 1832, and expired by limitation in 1836. The National Bank never failed to pay its obligation. The bank that failed bore the same name—was managed by the same President, but existed under a charter from the State of Pennsylvania. Yet foreigners cannot s'parate the two iostitutions. At this time, everybody looked t o Biddle. Biddle stru gg l e d hard. ' His three and twelve months poet noes did not work, and 'twas as ab and for him to try and stem the tide by buying up the cotton crop, as for Mrs. Partington to mop away the sea. He tried to resume, and did, on the 15th of January; but down he came again, in February (1851). He fought hard, but the odds were against him. Six millions of specie were paid away in a few days, and all the Wall street dodges of having expressmen ride up, and petters carrying in bags of cents, &c , were resorted to, without avail. Of course, thie knocked all the other banks off the roost except the Now-York and New-England institutions. The Sub-Treasury Law was repealed on the 9th of August, 1841, and, on the 1 . 9t1i , of the same m onth, Congress passed a uniform Bankruptcy Act, to go into operation on the Ist of February, 1842, which released between thirty five and forty thousand bankrupts, and cleared off about five hundred million dollars indebtedness. You never saw a more disgusted set of men than the one million of credi tors when they received their dividends. Kentucky was the only State that made any show at all. To her everlasting credit, she paid eighty cents on the dollar.

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA. The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived. The _Espanz denounces with some vehemence the supposed prDject of the United States against Cubs, and accuses Presidont Buchanan of personally encouraging them. With regard to the proposition for purchasing the island, which it says the new Minister of the United Stater, who is about to arrive in Madrid, is expected to make, the Espana declares that Spain cannot entertain it with out dishonour. But the United States will fiejZO the first opportunity, either "by piratical expedition, or exciting insurrections, or any other mode what ever," of possessing themselves of the island, the Espana does not doubt, and it complains that under such circumstances the Government displays a great want of caution, and an inexplicable secu rity. At Vittoria, the birth of the Prince of the Asturias had been celebrated with extraordinary pomp, and in numerous other towns there had been rejoicings. The Gazeete publishes addresses of congratulation to the Queen on the occasion. THE HAMBURG H CRISIS. A Copenhagen letter of the 13th says :—" The First Chamber has followed the example of the Second, and voted almost unanimously the sum of 450,000 rixdollars, asked for by the Minister of Finance, to be devoted to the moot pressing wants of the commercial community. A fresh sum of money has just been sent to the banking house of which the Danish consul•goneral at Harnburgh head, and one o the directors of the Bank of Copenhagen still remains at Harnburgh to take up tho hills over duo, and which the bank had put into circulation after they had discounted them. Yesterday, a deputation of four of the principal merchants went to the palace of Frcdrielesborg, to rt quest the King to grout out of the reserve fund of the monarahv, a temporary loan of four millions of rixdollars (nearly twelve millions of francs) on good guarantee and on the deposits of merchandise. The King replied that he had been made aware of the present deplorable condition of Danish com merce, that he hoped those sufferings would be but of short duration, and that as a c ons tit ut i ona l sovereign he would arrange with his Government for the prompt adoption of measures to ward off the eff nts of the crisis which weighs so heavily on the whole country." TUE WORCLSTER BANK.—At the Birmingham Bank ruptcy Court, on Thursday, John Owen and John Matthew Gutch, the only surviving partners in the Worcester Bulk, known by tte ram) of F4rley and Co., surrendered, and an allowance of £5 a week was obtained for Mr. Owen, Mr. Gutch did not apply for an allowance.

BITTA.L MURDER IN NORTH Dsvoy. —On Wednesday evening a fea r f u l, and, so far as we may at present draw an inference from th e f acts that have reached us, a most cruel and deliberate murder was committed at Lynton, in North Devon. The facts, briefly told, are these :—A young man, named John Berwick, a sort of jobbing labourer in the town, had for some months past kept company w:th a young woman, named Maria Blackmoor. On Wednesday evening she sent a messerger to Barwick, desiring him to come across to her mother's residence, as she wished to speak with him. lie at once ecniiplied—went t o t h e deceased as requested, and remained in conversation with her far more than a quarter of an hour, in the passage leading to her mother's residence. What the nat ure o f that conversation was i s no t kn own , but immediately fol. lowing, the poor girl rushed into the room in which her mother was, covered w ith bl oo d, an d a ft er exclaiming, " Good God, mother. I am bleeding," she instantly fell . on the flo or , an d di e d . It would appear that the man Barwick struck the poor girl in the neck with his clasp knife, which he had sharpened the same morning, completely severing the arteries, which, there can be no doubt was the immediate cause of death. Barwick was soon after wards arrested at his own house, lo which' he hal re turned. FATAL ENCOUNTER BETWEEN GAMEKEEPERS AND POACH: RS. A. fortnight ago, a severe fight took place between sixteen gamekeepers and forty poachers, on the lands of Richard Corbet, Esq., of Adderley, which subsequently resulted in the death of one of the former. The Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday, contains the fallowing particulars :—lt it usual for Mr. Corbet's keepers to watch in large numbers, in consequence of the extent to which poaching is csrr',ed on in this locality. About eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday week, they were assembled to the number o 16, including the head keeper, when they heard guns fir.,ed i n the Haly•s'ell Cover. They proceeded thither, and stool came up with a very large body of poachers, weathering about forty. The head keeper asked them what 'hey were doing there. He told them that they must consider themselves taken, and called upon them to surrender. They replied, "Oh I d—n your eyes, come on, we are ready for you this time." The poachers then backed into an open space, where there wore no trees, shouting all the time threats and curses. The keeper loosed his dog, and called to the deceased, George Norton, the under keeper, to loose his dog. The keeper's dog caught John Hughes, and George Bailey, one of the watchers, want up and took him. The poachers formed in line, and called to the watchers to come on and they would blow out their brains. The keeper's dog then went at the line of men, and they discharged five guns at it. The keepers rushed forward and tried to take the poachers, who resisted, and there was a regular fight for about half an hour, during which another man, named Richard France, was taken. The keepers were armed with sticks and short flails, and the poachers with guns and spears ; during the fight the poachers shot at the keepers from twelve to eighteen times, and nearly thirteen percussion caps were struck with out discharging the guns, At the close of the fight, the men retreated into a road leading to Tibberton. and made a stand there, with guns pointed through the hedge from the road. The deceased, George Norton, was then found lying on the ground, and was taken home ; he had a severe stab in the lower part of the abdomen. Thomas Speed, another of the watchers, was also shot from the hedge in the abdomen and side, but we believe he is likely to recover. On the keepers returning to look at the ground, they found two men's caps, the broken stock of a single gnu, a rocket handkerchief, a double barrelled gun, single gun, and the barrel of a single gun, also a bludgeon with a bar at one end and a spear at the other, about seven inches long, the blade of a spear of a similar description, and a hen pheasant. Mr. Godby, surgeon, of Newport, was sent for to the wounded men, and attended to them; bat Norton died from the effects of the stab about three o'clock on the following Monday afternoon. The scene of the battle ground its said to baft3.e description. Hundreds visited the spot the following morning. Besides the guns, &c., described above, there were large patches and clots of blood on the ground ; clothes torn and bloody. All the small twigs were shot off a small privet hedge, behind which the poachers had stood and fired upon the keepers. Both the dogs were killed with spears and shots ; the spears ware most frightful instruments. On a stock, five feet long, was placed an iron head, seven inches long, brought to a tapering steel point ; on the other end was an iron screw, on which was fastened a large iron nut, so that it might be used either way. It was from one of these that poor Nortcn, the keeper, lost his life. The two men, Francis and Hughes, caught by the keepers, were handed over about three o'clock in the morning to the police, who took them to Drayton, where they remained till Monday, when they were taken before the magistrates, and remanded till Wednesday. On that day they were fur ther remanded till Monday last, when the above facts were detailed in evidence. The jury, after hearing the evi dence, returned a verdict of wilful murder against the two prisoners, John Hughes and Richard France, and divers other persons to the jurors unknown Tho police have been actively engaged in trying to discover the other poachers, but at present they have only succeeded in taking John Harris, who lives some distance off, and who says he shall be able to prove an alibi. This man has the repute. tion cf being an accomplished poacher, and the apparatus found on his premises would certainly tend to urengthen this suspicion. Hie head arid face also bare marks of rough usage. He was taken to Drayton, and on Mon day last, he was with the other two alread named, brought before the magistrates. After going through the whole of the evidence, they were all fully committed for the capital offence. Crowds came into Drayton during the day to ee the culprits, and to have a peep at them as they wore being drivau to Shrewsbury. Several of the keepers were much injured, bat only the murdered and another watcher, named Speed, were dangerously hurt ; and Speed, wo learn, is doing as well as can be expected and is likely to recover. The prisoners were brought to Shrewsbury on Monday nie,t, and now await their trig in g iol. GIUGLINI.—This celebrated tenor returns to London the week after Christmas, and will make a first appearance in the " Trovatore." The verdict of the London public, which has been so amply confirmed by the critical Ger mans, will be again appealed to. Report says hie voice and style are even better than ever. A GRAND BATTU/Z.—The Duke of Cambridge has been shooting in &Ella, on the estate of Lord Huntingfield, Ileveningham Hall. The party assembled to meet his Royal Highness included the Earl of Stradbroke, General Hall, and other gentlemen. The result of five days' sport is estimated at 1,027 rabbits, 607 hares, 1,577 pheasants. 23 woodcocks, 5 partridges, and 1 duck, or 3,239 head in all. THE CUT OF UNGIMITSD PAPZR.—Within a certain eircle, of which the Royal Exchange is the centre, lie the ruins of a great paper city. Its rulers --solid and sub stantial as they appear to the eye —are made of paper. They ride in paper carriages ; they marry paper wives, and unto them are born paper children ; their food is paper, their thoughts are paper, and all they touch is transformed to paper. They buy paper and they sell paper ; they borrow paper and they lend paper —a paper that shrinks and withers in the grasp like the leaves of the sensitive plant ; and the stately.looking palaces in which they live and trade are built of paper —small oblong pieces of paper, which, like the cardboard houses of our chile hood, fa:l with a single breath. 1 hat breath has overtaken them, and they lie in the dust. Let me collect the scattered piecee, and build them up into such another variety of trembling structures as they formed before ; as they form now; or as, in a few years, they will undoubtedly form again. Our first paper house is the firm of Collaps, Vortex Docket and Company, general merchants. It is quiet and unobtrusive in appearance, being in Tobacco lane, Fen church-street ; and its small office has not had its windows cleaned for thirty years, which gives it a favourable appearance of solidity. The leading peculiarity of this firm is ramification ; and it is roma' kable for the harmony and beauty of its complex machinery. The senior partner, Mr, Collaps, is a merchant of the old school. There is a fund of credit in his shoe- buckles, and i the heavy yellow family coach that comes to fetch him of an afternoon. Mr. Vort: x affeets - an - almost Quakerish severity of attire; he attends to the discounting department, and the chairman. ships and directorships of those important and choice pub'ic companies which he finds so usetnl in consolidating the cre dit of the hou , e. Mr. Docket is a copy of Mr. Vortex, some fifteen years younger; he attends to the working part of the business, whatever that may be ; superintends the clerks, answers troublesome inquiries, and is supposed to buy and sell all the merchandise. The ramifications of the house extend to most cities of importance in Ea , land abroad, and the colonies. In Glasgow there is the branch firm of M'Vortex and Company, who have established friendly relations with all the leading banks, and whose paper, drawn upon the - substantial firm of 0 Docket and Company, of Dublin, is "done" without a whisper, at the minimum rate. The substantial firm of O'Docket and Company, of Dublin, enjoys the highest credit that can be obtained by a long course of regular trading in the land of generous sympathies and impulsive genius ; and their paper, upon the highly respectable firm of M'Vortex and Company, of Glasgow, is much in demind, at very low rates of discount indeed. Then there is Alphonse Collaps and Company of Paris ; the great house of Collaps Brothers at Calcutta ; V,ortex, Co laps, and Docket, of San Francisco ; Docket, Brothers an I Collaps, of New York ; Collaps, Collaps, and Company, of the Cape of Gaol Hope ; Vortex, Docket, and Vortex, of Melbourne, Australia; and Vortex, Brothel?, and Docket, of Montreal, Canada. Tili33o all draw and feed upon each other as their necessities require ; and the parent firm of Collaps, Docket, and Company, of Tobacco-lane, London, watches over its obedient children with a more than fatherly interest, and trades upon their acceptances to the extent of millions Formerly the great London house used to stop payment during every commercial panic —their credit preventing the necessity of their doing so at any other time. Now, they have grown too wise and important to do that. It is not that their trade has become in any degree sounder or more legitimate, but the accumulated liabilities of many years have swelled their transactions into such gigantic proportions, that the mere whisper of any difficulty to the governor and com pany of the Bank of England causes a representation to be made to our paternal government, whose mission it is to foster, protect, and accommodate trade; and it is agreed that such a public calamity as the suspension of Messrs, Collaps, Vortex, Docket and Co., must be prevented at any cost. It is prevented by the suspension of the Bank Charter Act instead; an extra issue of Bank of England notes is authorised, with a . Government guarantee in case there should not be gold to exchange for them, and commerce—illetuted commerce--brasthee again. —House hold Words. YCATNG AMERICA IN WALL-STREET. Ey George Francis Train, Author of "Young America Abroad." - London ; Sampson, Low and Son ; New York, Derby, and Jackson. IT is but a vary few weeks since wo directed the attention of the Liverpool public, to the literary exploit of Mr. George Francis Train, entitled "Young America Abroad" One might have thought sufficient time had scarcely elapsed to allow a commercial tourist to reach the quays of New York and return, when, to our utter surprise, we have laid before us a second work, vary nearly as large, by the same author, and containing in its advertisement sheets a long extract from our own critique, with those of many other hands, upon the former volume. The author has added to his extent of travel, and his store of miscellaneous knowledge, since traversing the vast space of the world which supplied him with suggestions for his first literary undertaking. A. note informs the Public, that the volume now before us was prepared, printed, and published in ten days' time. We should not, by any means, feel disposed to praise an author for a feat of this description, and could easily point the moral of a warning agains'; such headlong, Rupert-like charges into a literary stru,.,egle from scores of slight inaccuracies in this book, which a very little care and labour might set right. But, taking the work as it stands, wo are convinced that most rea leis will lay it down with feelings of surprise that so much gsneral accuracy of detail, so much keenness of judgment, and so much correctness of inference, could have been exhibited by a writer who dashed off the contents of a goodly volume, on some of the most difficult and intricate: subjects, with as much appa rent ease and volubility as an ordinary tourist writes a few letters to his friends at home, descrip tive of the often described scenes and used-up curiositica, he has seen in his travels. Although the " Young American," iu the title of his volume, hails from Wall-street, the greater portion of the work dates from Paris, Horne, St. Petersburgh, and London. It is not easy to give, in a few words, anything like a precise description of the nature of the book ; but it maybe briefly announced as a comprehensive survey from almost all conceivable points of view; of the present great financial crisis—its causes, its extent, and its probable results. Being a temporary resident of Paris in the close of 1856, Mr. Train occupied his leisure moments by " diving down into the archives of the Credit Mobilier, the Bank of France, and the Bank of England.'' The result of his examination was a conviction that there were, in his own phrase, " breakers ahead," and he finally came to the conclusion that a panic must ensue in 1857, more terrific in its nature than any of the commercial collapses which preceded. This, the reader must recollect, was not one of those pro found deductions at which we can all sagaciously arrive after the event has taken place. The first article in which Mr. Train ventures positively to predict the coming crisis is dated November 13, 1856, some twelve months before the news of the convulsions in American finance vibrated with a corresponding shock through this country. The reasons which chiefly produced this conclusion in Mr. Train's mind, he thus summarises in his open ing chapter : I found overstocked markets everywhere, ruinous competition and extravagant living in all lands; no wonder it made me creak !—the riven was always "at my chamber-door,—croaking, croaking, evermore!" When a roan of sense and observation was thrown into my company, I nailed him fcr a financial argument. I talked oa all sides of a Panic, to get from different minds sound views. Politics I discussed with the Herald, finance with Hunt, and if I have foreshadowed what has come to pa's, don't think I am so egostical as to take to myself any credit for particular foresight on the subject. I only prnluced a digest from the minds of others. I talked with older men, —men who had notes to meet, —men, who could not see a panic coming, In'cauae it was not their interest. Neither was it mine. Yet I could not shut my eyes to the fact that was staring me in the face. When making assertions I gave the figures ; when talking of a crisis, in the abserce of facts, I argued Irons reason ; I marked the cause, and saw the effect; such views led me to examine the workings of commerce, and the more I sought, the less confidence I had in the future. Most of the London journals argu d exactly aeainst me; one of the leading minds of the London Times told me he expected a ciisis, yet the "City Article" went on the even tenor of its way. Bennett NV s the only man who saw the approaching storm, and boldly made the signal to take in sail; but who regarded him ? Eren now there are many who give him the credit of the whole disaster—just as though an individual mind could break a solvent nation! The truth is we are a fast people, bound to beat the world, even in the abysses of our insolvency. The most surprising thing to me is, that an intelligent cmmunitv. a mercantile people, ceu'd march on with a steady tramp to the brink of a precipice, blindfold their eyes, recklessly advanne, deliberately step over, and fall into an almost universal bar kruptcy, without being aware of it themselves ! Mr. &evens, Mr. Appleton, Mr. Leavitt, say they have never seen such tim , s. Indeed ! what a remarkable disccvery ! How, for a moment, can as intelligent man compare this panic with that of 1837 ? Our commerce was then in a nutshell, now it covers a world. These were my arguments in centieental Europe, in England, and in America, viz.: that the credit bubble to-day has been inflated in proportion to the progress the nation has made since that day. Torn Thumb and the Belgian giant are very poor comparisons. - At that time Biddle and the National Bank were the scapegoats. Yet large as were their trans actions, the Illinois Central and another Western railway or two would swallow up the entire Biddleisms of that day. Eastern lands in 1837 comprised a few thousand square acres in Maine. Western lands to-day are in the hands of several gteat States, each competing with the other to see who can speculate the most wildly ! Our financial leaders seem to have forgotten that our twenty-five thousand miles of railway have been con structed since that day 'Fhet our immense steam fleet has been sent to sea since that day ! That our gigantic shipping interest, comprising' some five millions of tons, has been launched since that day ! That our extensive manufac:ories have been erected since that day ! That our enormous dry-goods trade with England and Europe has been proportionately expanded since that day! That tke marble palaces on Broadway, and the brown stone houses on Fifth Avenue, have sprung into existence since that day ! That silks and satins, lanes and crinoline, hoops and diamonds, fast horses, clubs, and brandy smashes have been introduced since that day! That steam, the telegraph, and patents for everything in Christendom, have come into life since that day! That three millions of foreigners have arrived amongst us—sonic three millions, who displaced some two millions of Americans, who were forced to gain their living by their wi s—since that - day ! That we hav e imported some three million tons of rails t 3 employ the workmen in building the roads —the iron in the hold, the passengers between decks, — the transportation of which (together with Irish famine and Mexican War in 1847, Call'orria in 1349, nevi gaiion laws in 1851, Australia and Gnana in 1852,) has given a startling impetus to the shipbuilders of New-Eeeland and the mechanics in their various trades employed in this way, at the same time that the railways, canals, factories, and palaces were being completed, creating a great demand for labour ; hence that heavy staple of a nation's wealth has become as much inflated as the works which labourers' hands have completed, since that day! Gilded churches for gilt-edged sermons, aristocratic colleges and institutes for aristocratic children of aristocra t:c parents, who live in aristocratic avenues, and aristocra tic ci'ies, have been brought upon the scene, since that day! And to sum up in a word, all this astonishing progress, in everything, and everybody, could not have been made, un'ess finance hid hen reduced to as much of a clipper science and a clipper system as the clipper ship, the clip per railway, the clipper factory, the clipper church, the clipper government, the c'ipper merchant, and the clipper banker, since that day ! the memorable mile-stone year of eighteen hundred end thirty-seven ! These arguments may be said to serve as the text on which Mr. Train founds the lengthened confident, acute, dashing, and singularly clever discourse which fills up the volume. He illustrates his views by close and able surveys of the commercial and financial position of England, of France, of America, of Austria, and of Russia. His remedies for the present state of affairs are hard cash," full free trade, and economy. " Hard cash is what we want to restore confidence. Credit is based on faith, but to-day there is no faith." We cannot do more than recom mend to our readers close pernsal and study the lengthened and elaborate statiffties by means of The 't Compromise Tariff" expired in 18-12, and the " Protective Tariff" run on to 1846, all the intermediate panics were only the breaking out of the old disease—as Matthews would say, " it was the same drink !" First of December, 1846, this tariff wen: into operation, and expired June 30th, 1857, when we put in the first flee trade wedge. The total imports into the country dur ing the ten years and seven month; amounted to Averaging in round numbers, per annum.. 240,000,000 Exports, same time, amount to AvA . aging, say, The tonnage employed in foreign com merce was 1,800,000, earning some 225,000,000 I hse gone somewhat into details to show how absurl it is to expect for a moment better times fur months and months. If the liabilities arising out of that panic amounted to 500,000,000 doF., will not the liabilities extending over tha slmo length of time, run up to 2,000,000,000 The total value of real and personal property in the United States, January Ist, 1853, amounted to Even fwent,y-fice per cent. depreciation would give the pretty aura of .. We do not think of following Mr Train through his atzuments, which are thrown off with such a variety,9f fact and figure illustration as makes one -...., r...
