MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. Business continu tEt very dull, but the uneasiness of yesterday has slightly disappeared. In Cotton very little is being done, but prices are firmly maintained. To-day sales were about 1,000 bales. The Liverpool Share Market does not seem to feel the effect of the increase in the bank rate of interest at present, and has shown surprising steadiness during the day The following were the days transactions :- Chester and Birkenhead 64, Lancashire and Yorkshire, 931, 931, 931 981; Great Western 511, Lancaster and Carlisle 18, 5-16, London and North Western, 95k, 951, 951, 95+ ; Midland. 80k, 801, 801, 801; London and South Western 90 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 38i; North British, 111; North 'Eastern, 22,1 , Dovers, 181, 15-16, 19, 1.16 ; Grand Trunk of Canada , 10a, 10 3-16, lei, 10 3-16, 101, 10 Great Western of Canada, 18, 18 3-16, 181; Ditto new, 21 d. ; North Union a. 220 ; Bank of Liverpool, 231 ; Liverpool and London Fire and Life, 8a p, The following were the closing prices :-Blaakburr, 71, 71 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 64. 64k; Caledonian, 39k. 39 ; Chester and Holyhead, 141, . 15+ ; Sastern Counties, 10t, 10 13-16; East Lancashire, 90 90i; Do. 91. shares, 1, p; Great Northern, 23+, 24; Do.

Consols for Money closed at BS4 to 881, and for the Account at 881 to - 88 , -,1-. After official hours the latter advanced to 888 to 88Z. In the London Railway Share Market there was rather more business done than has been the case for some days past, and in many instances there was a partial recovery from yesterday's depression. The following were the closing prices :-Caledo nian, 78, 79 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 611, 62i ; Eastern Counties, 53, 54; East Lancashire, 90, 92 ; Great Northern, 95, 96 ; do.

After official hours, there was a steady feeling ftt the following prices :-Caledonian, 781, 79 ; Eastern Counties, 102-, 101: Fast Lancashire, 90, 92 ; Great Northern, 95, 96 ; Do.

The Bank of France raised its rate of discount this molting, from 61 to 71 per cent., and the Three per Cent Rentes declined to 66f. 50e., but this is only 30c. below yesterdays closing prices. _ _ Commercial letters from Paris state that the augmentation of the Bank's rate of discount to per cent is obviously a measure not of a nature to facilitate transactions ; yet trade has accepted the rise with resignation, preferring to nay a high rate of interest rather then submit to any curtailment of the time to run for bills now admitted to dis count. The retail trade in Paris remains as last week, rather active, and feels the benefit of the return of Parisians from their country trips. The manufacturers of Lyons and St. Etienne suffer from the sad state of affairs in the United States. The Americans have given no orders what ever this season, and all the Stuffs manufactured with a view to the American market are now on sale at greatly reduced prices. The last advices from New York give no hope of any immediate change for the better- French Silks are now selling at New York at 25 and 30 per cent. cheaper than at Lyons and St. Etienne. In Parrs the demand for articles de Paris is satisfactory. Some considerable orders have been received from Russia, and it is hoped that the modifications lately introduced into the Russian tariff will increase the already great consumption of French Produ-te in that country. The happy result of an abundant harvest are now apparent throughout France. The price of Bread, Butcher's Meat and all alimentary substances have fallen considerably. Dread has now been reduced to 35c. kilog. in Paris, and 30c. in most of the de partments. These are the ordinary prices of the years of plenty. In the Corn markets the decline seems to be checked, but this fact is to be attributed to the abundant supply, which renders it difficult to effect sales. There is no fear of any decided rise. There is ;cry little business being done in the -Grain Trade, and at the msjority of the markets held to-day, prices of the leading articles declined. The Produce Maikets are also very dull, and prices are merely nominal. The following are the latest quotations of Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam short, 11 154- to 11 16,1 ; Do three months, 11 191- to 12; Rotterdam do, 11 19-t to 12 ; Antwerp do., 25 50 to 25 67/ ; Brussels do.. 25 50 to 25 57 i; Hamburg do., 13 161 to 13 101 ; Paris, short, 25 25 to 25 35 ; Do., three months, 25 80 to 25 85 ; Marseilles do-, 25 80 to 25 90 ; Frankfort do., 1191 to 1194; Vienna do., 10 40 to 10 45 Trieste do.. 10 41 to 10 45 ; Peters burg 351 to 35/ ; Madrid do., 488 to 49. The Discount houses and banks have announced an increase in the rates allowed for deposits The Lombard-street discount houses now allow 7 per cant. at call, and 71 per cent, with a few day's notice ; the joint-stock banks 7 per cent. ; and the National Discount Company, 71 per cent. at call, and 71 per cent. at notice. At Amsterdam, Frankford, and Vienna, on Satur day, the Stock Markets experienced a further reco - very, but the rise in the rate of discount in London will probably react unfavourably upon the conti nental markets Letters received from Glasgow report the failure of another house in that city, with liabilities esti mated at about 100,0001. The precise amount of gold brought from Mel bourne by the steamer King Phillip is 30,834 ozs and 20,000 sovereigns, worth in all about 143,2001 The sovereigns being of English coinage, will go into the Bank. The steamer James Brown has brought 11,5001 in specie, principally sovereigns, from Constanti nople. A telegraphic despat eh received at Lloyd's, dated Helsingfor9, Oct. 1-7, mentions the wreck of the steamer Spurn, while on her voyage from Cronstadt to Hull. The vessel struck upon Digsgar and shortly after wards sink, and is described as a " total loss." The crew were saved. The weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, just received, exhibits a de crease of 2,8831. compared with that for the Corresponding week of last year. The gerants" of the London General Omnibus Company give notice that in consequence of an inaclt quate number of shares being deposited prior to the general meeting, which was called for the 20th inst., the meeting will be adjourned to the 10th of November. The number of shares required to be deposited, to render the meeting legal, was 50,000, or one-fourth of the total capital. The numbers are published of 343 bonds, repre senting 57,300 1 . of the Danish Three per Cent. Loan, which were cancelled, under the sinking fund, on the 9th inst. Owing to the further extraordinary depreciation reported by the packet just arrived, American railway securities of all descriptions were yeeter day greatly depressed, and in numerous eases prices were merely nominal. For instance, Michi gan Central 100 dole. shares, which were quoted on Saturday, 50 to 60 per cent., fell yesterday to 40 to 50 per cent., whilst Michigan Southern have fallen from 20 to 25, to 10 t) 20 per cent. (ex coupon). It is remedied, however, as evidence of the general btlief in the transitory nature of the present extremedepression, that the prices curtent in London are in nearly all cases greatly above those quoted in New York. Subjoined is the report of yesterday's London indigo sale :—" The sale to-day has gene rather easier, chit fly on acecunt of the B Catalogue passing, which consists of goods in second hands, and out of 2,145 chests about 400 chests sold, after which the A catalogue was returned. The sales are expected to finish tomorrow, there being only 1,036 chests remaining to pass sale. 2,725 chests have passed to day, of which 1,400 cheats were withdrawn, 637 b might in, leaving 688 chests sold. Total passed, 10,478 chests. Total sold, 3,263 chests. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1857 LIVERPOOL COTTON M ARKET.—OcT. 20.

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN AMERICA. (Continued from yesterday.) TH3 BANK (1 , THE UNITED STATEs' IMMENSE FRAUDS AND RoBBERIEs.—At the meeting of the sto.kholders of he United Slates Bank in January, a committee of Eix had been appointed " to ex mine the details of ,ha reports" submitted on that day. When appointed, it consisted of Joshua Lippin cott, Joseph Kempton, 'I hos. P. Cope, Chas Massey, Richard Wiling and David K rkpa rick. Messrs. Cope, ng and Kirkpatrick, having declined to eerve, Eduard Co'es, James S. N:wbo!d, and Jchn Ba-on, were cLosen in their stead . . There gentlemen were acrive in their labours from the time of their appointment until 'he meeting of the s'ockholders in April, and dud ig that time they discovered evidences of fraud, mismanagement and misapplica , ion of the funds of the inst:tu tion, the revelation of which s'artled and appalled the community. The first object of the committee was to-verify the condition of the assets as they were reported on the 4 h of January to have teen on the 21st of December previous. In doing this they es imwed the value of the assets arid the p obable loss on the amount. This deprecia'ion they estimael at the enormous sum of 17,751,946 dols 72e, out of what was represented to have been once worth 69,53 1 ,742 dole 46c. The liabilities being 36,959,539 dole 63c., and the capital 35,000,000 dole, it resulted that if the valuation was sustained and there were no further losses, the stockholders would, in cue of a winding up of the concern, be compelled to accept of 14,820,156 dole 11c for the 35,000,000 dole paid in—a clear loss of over 20,000,000 dole. What became of this enormous sum, it was difficult to discover; the means whereby some of it was lost were apparent, but of the expenditure of a great part of it there were no satisfactory traces. On the item suspended debt, which amounted to 9,790,800 dohs 59c, it was calcu'ated that there would be a probable loss of 5,046,211 dole 7c. Ou stocks of tie par value of 29,191,153 dole 66e an estimated depreciation of 7,069,130 dole 90c was reported. Of the amount due by State debts, which was nearly eight millions and three-quarters of dollars, a loss of nearly three millions four hundred thousand dollars was anticipated. Upon the line " active debt," a large amount was due and heavy losses were anticipated. Very heavy advances had been made by loans to incorporated companies afterwards insolv.nt, and to iudividua's who were without means of repayment. Seven corporations had borrowed over a million two hundred thousand dollars. Forty-eight individuals, firms and companies, bad received more than twenty thousand dollars each. Of this number twenty seven had disce,un's beyond 50,000 do'lars each, and nine exceeding 100,000 dollars. On the "suspen ded debt" list were eighteen persons owing more than iOO,OOO dollars each; Fix individuals and firms owed mere than 2,300 0000 dollars, two of them owing 650,000 dollars each. On the Ist of Febeuraty, 1836, shortly after the bank had been chartered ,loy the State, it was reported that the surplus fund over the capital was neatly eight millions of dollars. The startling cltaitge wh ch the stockholders were called upon to deplore, had all been eff.eted in less than five years. THE EXCHANGE COMMITTEE—HOW IT DISSIPATED THE FUNDS.—The Committee of Inves igation attributed much of the blame to " the Exchange Committee," which consisted of three Directors appointed by the p esident. This body had been authorized by the Directors of thoNaticral Bank a short period before the expiration of the charter. The institution had at that time a large fund accumulated by calling in its debts, with a view of winding up its concerns. The Exchange Committee were given power " to make loans on the security of the stock of this bank, or other approved security, and, if necessat y, at a less rate than six per cent, par annum. Under this resolution the Committee made exceedingly largo loans upon hypothecation of stocks of all kinds. So industrious were they, and so complete aas their power over the funds, that in one year the loans on stocks were increased from over four millions, seven hundred, and flinty-seven thousand dollars, to more than twenty million, tour hundred, and fifty thousand dollars. This state of affairs existed when the charter was ob tained from the State, there being more than twenty million of dollars of notes of the old bank liable to redemption, besides a necessity to pay the Sta e of Pere sylvania five millions of dol lars as a bonus for the chart r. 'rho notes came rapidly in for redemption, and the hat k, now crippled by the injudicious course of the Exchange Committee, was compelled to seek re lief in loans. There were borrow, din England £1,000,000 sterling, and in France 12,500,000 francs. The services ofan agent in England to manage these loans and to negotiate others new became necessary; arid Samuel Jaudon, the cashier of the bank, resigning his situation, was chow n for that trust, his agency in Europe commencing November, 1837. At the same time the bank entered the mat ket as borrowers on their post no'es arid bonds, mode payable abroad—the whole amount obtained in this way up to July, 1840, being more than 23 000,000 dole. These instrumen•s were drawn without means of paying them being either on hand or in prospect, and, in some instances, even without plevicus'y notifying parties in Dr to, e of the drafts made upon them. Mess's. Hottinguer and Co , upon whom principally the se bil's were so rashly drawn, refused, like prudent men, to accept th m Without security. Mr. Jaudon managed, by pledging large stocks, in averting what would have amounted to a failure of the bank. By doing so he ham Fer eel the means of the institution, and the circumstances becoming generally known, the credit of the Rank of the United States decreosed so much in Europe, hat new loans were not to be procured on the former favour. able t.Tms. 7he subsequent negociatiou of more than twelve million of dollars, cost the bank, in discounts and commissions to foreign h ankers, nearly one million ono hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It was was one of the subjects of complaint, by the committee of inTestigat inn, that the commissions allowed Mr Jaudon were enormous. Baring and Brothers had formerly realized for commi slows, on behalf of the business of the bank about 28,000 dots per annum, they paying their own expenses. Mr. Jaudon was allowed the expense of the agency and a principal clerk. The large amounts of the loans in. creased his Inc ,me extensively, besides extra allowance for what were called " extraordinary loans," so that in three years the payments made to him upon this account were 335,937 dollars 39c. How THE BANK OFFICERS BORRGWED THZ MONEY ON WO kTEILERS STOCILS.—WhiIst the institution was thus going on borrowing money in Europe, until the sum it owed there was larger than its loans in the United Sates, a system of carelessness and recklessness seems to have had full license in the direc.ion of affairs. In refer nee to the subject the committee say :—" It seems to have been sufficient to obtain money on loan to pledge the sock of an " incorporated company," however remote its operation or uncertain its prospects. Many large loans, originally made on the pledge of stocks, were paid for in the same I(nd of property, and that, too, at par, when in many instances they had depreciated in value. It is very evident to the Committee that several officers of the bank were themselves engaged in large operations in stocks and speculations of a similar character, with funds obtained of the bank, and at the same time loans were made to the ce.mpanies in which they were interested, and to others engaged in th s same kind of operation•, in amounts greatly diepropor tionate to the means of t• . te parties or to their proper and legi imate wants and dealings. The effect of this system was to monopolize the active means of the institution, and disoble it from aiding and accommce'at'ng men ergiged in busin 'so re illy productive and useful to the cr mmunity ; and, as might hove been anicipated, a large port of the sums thus loaned were ultimately lost, or the bunk compelled, on disadvantageous terms as to price, to take in payment stocks, wild 'ands, and o her fragments of the estates of great specula tors." In proof of this allegation, concerning the officers, facts were stated which showed that three of the principal cashiers had, during the p WHOM three years, been in debt to the bank, one of them to the . amount of 426,930 dols 67e, another 408,389 dols 25c, and the third 326,382 dols 50c. Portions of this indebtedness had been "settled," by the payment of stocks and loans, but balances Mill remained against the persons named. .rIIE MODUS OPERANDI On TEE " EXCHANGEC COM MITTEE.—WIi'ISt these extraordicary proceedings were in progress, the Directors of the bank were i❑ total ignorance of them. The Exchange Committee met daily, and exercised ful power to make loans and settlements. They did so without keeping hooks or minutes. Veil) el directions were given to the officers of the bank, who carried them into execution. The initia's of the cashiers on their orders were placed on notes, checks, due bills, and whatever dcscripton of vouchers were given. These were placed in the drawers and counted as so much cash, until just before the periodical counting of the cash by the Standing Committee of the Board "on the state of the bank." They were then taken out and entered as " bills receivable," in a small book kept by ono of the clerks. These b.lls were not discounted, but hoo-e interest semi-annually, and wete generally accompanied by pledges of stock, or seine other kind of property. The investigating Committee stated that the very large business transacted iu that way did not appear on the Lee of the di count book, was nevt r submitted to the members of the Bcard of Directors at their regular meetings, nor was it anywhere entered in the minutes as having been reported to that body for their information or approval. As illustrative of the extent of these transactions, it was stated that the sum total of "bills receivable" on the 4th day of March, in five consecutive years, stood as follows : In 1836, 6,221,660 dole. 85c ; in 1837, 8,183,445 dols. lc ; in 1838, 7,229, 503 dols. 23c ; in 18H, 6,772,731 dole. 80c; 'n 184(), 4,041,705 dols. To the "suspended. debt" there had been transfer( d (and was then nnselled) from the account of " bills lereivabe," 1,470,661 dols 75r, and large amounts fro the same line had been distributed under other heads. The debtors who were thus favoured, received large amounts, one fi:re having been allowed to borrow, in a little more than two years, 4,213,878 dole. 30c, more than one-half of which was loaned them in a single year. This was finally settled for in depreciating stocks taken at par, in real estate, and some cash. Such was the general manner in which these large loans were paid, and the bank rapidly increased its losses by such a policy, its assets becoming less valuable evtry day. THE COTTON TRANSAC LIONS —Revelations were also made by the comtnitt,e which showed that certain officers of the bank bad been dealing largely in cotton, which 017 bought with money borrowed fawn the funds wiAllant the knowledge of the Directors. On those transactions large profits had been made, which the parties divided among themselves, allowir g the bank only simple interest and the current rates of exchange. There had also been heavy losses on these transactions. Those losses were nominalty assumed by , he officers named, but they settled them not in cash which they bad received when the money was taken from the bank, but in stocks at par, which were woe h far less than the amou it for which they were re ceived, in lands wild and unimproved, and in claims upon debtors which might or might not be collected. The thorough elucidation of the mysteries of these transactions was not in the power of the Committee of Investigation, some of the papers concerning them not being among the records of the bank. The first cotton transaction was in July, 1837, when 2,182,998 dols. 28c were advanced to A. G. Jaudon, who perchased cotton for shipment to Baring Brothers & Co., of Liverpool, who were then agents for the bank. The results as to profit and loss did not appear upon the books, nor the names of the parties interested. Meanwhile Mr. Samuel Jaudon had been sent to England as the agent of the bank. About the same time a partnership was formed between May Humphrey's a director of the bank, and a son of Nicholas Biddle, the Pir sident of the institution. This firm of Biddle & Humphrey's, established themselves in Liverpool and acted as agents in the sale of the produce shipped to that port. During 1837, 1838 and 1839, :tree cotton transactions continued, amounting to 8,969,450 dots. 95e. The shipments were made principally to Piddle & Humphr p, of Liverpool, were paid for by drafts on Bevan & Cumphrey s, of Philadelphia, the funds to meet which were advanced by the bank, and the proceeds remitted to Samuel Jaudon, the agent of the bank in London. During March, April and May, 1839, the sum of 800,000 dols. was paid to Bevan & Humphreys, and the account balanced. This sum was supposed by the Committee to be ,he profits on the second cotton transaction ; but to whom these gains went, and in shat proportions, was a matter of conjecture. The bank made nothing but the ordinary and legal advantage from the loan of money. The third and last account was charged on the books as " Bills on Lo .don ; advances S. V. S. W." The initials weso those of S. V. S. Wilder, of New York. 3,241,042 dols. 83c were invested in this cp ration, and at rea close there was found to be a loss of 962,524 dole. 13 Liberal allowonces were made the parties in crested for dis c nets in Southern funds used for purchasing the cotton and commissions, amounting to 331 133 dots. 16c, leaving a loss still to be accounted for of 631,390 (lois. 97c. Whoever might have he en interested in the transactions, here was no difficulty, in consequence of subs( Tient arrangements, in as certaining the party to this. Nichoias Biddle, President of the bank, who hail certainly been interested in former speculations, admitted his natality for one-half of this loosing adv,nture. JospliCowperthwaite was charged with one-fourth of the respon sibility, and S. V. S. Wider was chargel with the other half, although it was represented of erward that he had no interest in the transaction, and that the real party interested wss Thomas Dunlap, then President of the bank. MR. BIDDLR SETTLES" WITH MIAS BOlbDB.—Mr. Biddle made some demur to payment, alleging that the opera tion was undertaken after he resigned the office of President of the bank and that the loss had been occasioned by forced sales of the cotton to meet the necessities of the instittvion in Europe. He settled however. for his half of the responsibilities by giving Texas Bonds at par, a/ hough they were greatly depreciatei in the stock market. Mr. Cowper thwaite "settled" by trausfirriug lands in Pennsylvania, New York and Wisconsin, by the transfer of land and railroad companies' stock and loans at par, and by the payment of some cash. Mr. Dunlap ( Wilder) settled by transfers of real estate, debts due to him, and some cash. Up. to this time these opera-ions had been going on without the knowledge of the Directors of the bark, but the finale brought the sutj 'ct before them. On the 21st of December, 1840, the following preamble and reso lutons were adopted by the Board : As it appea a by the report of the Committee on Advances that large transactions have bean going on for several years without the sanction or knowledge of th' Board of Directors, and as it farther appears these transactions were mostly, if not wholly, to the acemnt and to the profit and loss of the (xscative offi,scrs of this bank at those times, it is due from tbis Board that their just condemnation of such things should be fully exposed and recorded ; it is therfore Resolved, That the bug , ess of loaning money excin ively sod of right belongs to the Daard of Directors, and that all loans and dis counts male by a comm Use of the Board, in concurrence with the officers, shoo d be duly reported to a regular mt eting of the Board. Resolved, That the loaning or discounting on the depos t of cell teral security of p omissory rotes of the officers of the Bank is unauthorised,. aLd contrary to the proper administration of the antra of the bank, _ _ _ Resolved. Th't the large advances made by the olicers of the bank in the periods 18374 and 1833-4, were tatally unauthorised and unknown to the b•.nk. Not on'y in these rotten transactions, but in other respects, the officers of thee hank seemed to have acted wi'hout reference to a consultation with the directors, who were the representa tives of the stockholders. Existing banks in other States wire bought out and established as agencies. Pe rional c mtracts made by various officers in regard to stock operations and loans, to the amount of millions of dollars, were guaranteed by the bank without any authority firm the Beard. of Directors or any notice being taken thereof in the minutes, and various other operations developing a loose state of transacting business, and of gross favouritism and diversion of the funs s from their proper puiposes, were made known. 400,00 t) DOLE. TO BRIBE THE LEGISLATURE Cr PENN SYLVANIA.—Among other things which now became evident was the fact that at least 400,000 dole. had been spent in procuring the passage of t'm act of incorporation from the Legislature of Pennsylvania. This amount had been covered up by an entry under the head, " Parent Bank Notes." It appeared subsequently that about the time when the application for the charter was before the General Assembly, the first teller paid large sums of money to John Andrews, the assistant cashier, upon memorandum tickets, signed with the initials of Mr. Andrews, name. These sums amounted in all to 400,000 dots, and were charged to "sundries" in the teller's account of March 1, 1836. On that day Mr. Andrews brought ten post notes of the bank for 40,000 dols. each, and took away the tickets. These notes were then charged in the account of "Parent Ilenk Notes," as having been redeemed, and were afterwards, wi h may other cancelled notes, counted and burned by a committee. The transaction thus seemed to have ended. A large sum of money had been pad to Mr. Andrews, and an equal amount returned shortly afterward. The matter rested so for more than three years, when, in posting the account of "Parent Bank Notes" cancelled, it w s found that more were entered as destroyed than had ever been issued. Examination showed that the ten notes for 40,000 dols. each had never been put in circulation, and that the entry was in fact a fraud. By a singular coincidence, it appeared that previous to the time when the money was taken, a committee had snggested that the prObable gain by the des'ruction and loss of notes of the old bank which had been in circulation, and which probably would never be presented, would be about 400,000 dols. It was thought best to permit that expected gain to remain as "an equivalent for contingen cies not sufficiently provided for by the reduced rates of p uaran tee." When the erroneous entry in the Parent Bark Note account was discovered, the sum of 400,000 dols, was charged to " Lo.ses chargeable to the Contingent Fund, In addition to this sum, 618,640 dole. 15c. had been drawn by the officers of the bank without authority, di-bursed, nobody knew how, making, wi h the item of 400,000 dols. above mentioned, over a million of dollars, which was charged to the " Perman ent Expense Fund," and for the application of which there were no vouchers to show what bed become of it. MR. BIDDLE'S SERVICE OF PLATT•,.—When the full developments of the condition of the bank were spread before the community, and the entice eetails of the record of dishonesty, fraud and mismanagement became known, astonish ment, horror and indignation, were loudly expressed. Nicholas Biddle had been President of the hank under the National and Sta'e charter, from 1823, until March, 1839. He had been fully identified with its institution during all its political troubles, and had borne the greater sh ire of the obloquy lay:shed against the monster. Whilst he was by some parties looked upon as a most dangerous and wicked person, others regarded him as the model of a gentleman, a scholar, and a shrewd and successful financier. Upon his retirement fi urn the institution-- a measure previously unlooked for—the Directors, on accepting his resignation, adopted resolutions declaring, among other things that Mr. Biddle was " ono who, having performed so much and so faithfully, leaves the institution with which he was identified prosperous in all its relitions, strong in its abilities to promote, the interests of the communities by which it is surrounded, cordial in its associations with sister establish ments, and secure in the respect and esteem of' al who arc connected with it in foreign and domestic intercourse. As a further tes'imonial of their appreciation of his services, they had voted to him a splendid service of silver plate; and this mag nificent gift, which was valued at thirty tFousand dollars, had, after being publicly displayed to admiring citizens, been presented to Mr, Biddle with the usual compliments ou such occasions. (To be continued) THE PANIC OF 1857. TO THE EDITJE OF THE NORTHHEN TIMES. Sir,—The old game is to be played over again, the bank minimum raised to 8 per cent., which Rill, of course% result in a panic. When stocks, shares, ships and pre_ duce are going a begging, and half the community are ruined, the GJveriarnent may step in and suspend the Bank Act. Gold will continue to be shipped to Americ7. and the Continent despite the movement of to-day. And wheat and produce given us as far as possible in pP.yment. When will the commercial interest and 0 . ,,e en' ire public insist upon a total abrogation of the chweter, contracted as it was (and admirably it serves its purpose) for the monied interests alone, A currency for a small trade requires comparative ex pansion for a vastly increased one. The misery, disaster, and Win of 1847 is to be repeated, but its lesson is not yet learned. Surely our merchants are their own executioners. ANTI MONOPOLY. Liverpool, Oot. ID, 1G57.

ELECTIi,N CANVASSER 2 I:xeresses.—At the last sitting of the Wakefield County Coort, Mr. George :More, draper, of Wakefield, brought an action against Westmoreland, solicitor, to recover the sum of £49 fir time lost and ex penses incurred during 21 days' canvassing at the late election for Mr. Charl.sworth, the present Conservative member for 'Wakefield. The defendant was about to leave Wakefield to set up business on his own accounfa but was prevailed upon by the defendant to stop and canvass for his client, promising that whatever charge the plaintiff made should be paid. He accordingly stayed and canvassed, and his bill for 21 days, at two guineas a day and expenses, amounted to the sum claimed, which the defendant all-ged was exorbitant. It was shown that the defendant had been offered two guineas a day and expenses to canvass for Mr. Oliveria at Pontefract, and that after completing his engagement at Wakefield he did canvass for Mr. Oliveria for that rate of payment. It was also shown that Mr. Ferns, solicitor, of Leeds, was engaged by Mr. Oliveire at 10 guineas a day, and that a Mr. Lamb canvassed for him for 5 guineas a day. The judge said that as no professional ma❑ had been called to prove that the plaintiff's charge was exorbitant, he considered that the plaintiff had made out his case, and the verdict would be for £49, with costs of witnesses and atterney.
