a free line of discounts ; instead of that, they were
forced by their fears into an unnatural contraction,
which has brought them to their present condition.
The example of the Conservative Bank of Com-
merce deserves commendation. In the midst of the
contraction it has maintained its old line of dis-
count almost impaired. -
Among the great failuros outside of the banks
three have especial interest for Englishmen. First
is the Illinois Cntral, the stoppage of which will
probably excite less surprise in London than it did
in New York. The notes payable of this company
amount to 3,510,000 dole. of which 2,400,000 do's.
fall due previous to the Ist of January next, and
the remainder in 1858. The optional scrip also
falls due in January to the amount of 750,000 dols.
Against this liability certain provisions had been
made in London; the details of which I need not
go into. Suffice it to say, that about three weeks
since the company received authority to draw et r-
ling bills to the amount of 200,0001. Unfortu-
nately, there was no sale for exchange. The bills
were offered. Erie was also in the street with
sterling credits ; and exchange fell to a point where
gold could be sent here from London at a profit of
nearly 10 per cent. It was impossible to contend
against this, and on Saturday last it was announced
that the company had made an assignment of all
its property out of Illinois. Another instrument
is being prepared, and is either executed to-day;
or is to be this week, conveying the property within
that State, thus divesting the corporation of its
whole assets. The trusts provide for the expenses
of runing, &c., and then prefer the endorsed paper
on which 'the directors' names stand. Part of thi
had been previously taken np by sterling bills, but
a large amount is still outstanding. Certain other
claims, the payment of which is necessary to dis-
charge collateral, are also preferred, and the re-
mainer are charged with the general floating debt.
The directors suppose that they have thus pro-
tected the property against judgments, and that
the eompany will be enabled to resume. No state-
ment has yet been made to the public.
New York and Erie has also gone to protest ;
the property is still in the hands of the corpora-
tion, and no steps have been taken to sequestrate
it. Some of the directors' friends charge gross
mismanagement upon the late president. At a
pubic meeting of the friends of the route • a week
since I beard very strong language used on this
subject, but no details have yet been made
public justifying it. I believe it to be true,
however, that that officer failed lately, owing the
corporation some 75,000 dols. or 100,000 dols.
for freight (he was a, large -lumber merchant) upon
goods delivered in violation of the customary rules
of the company, and under some special agreement,
It may be that the rumours and charges grow out
of this small but highly discreditable transaction.
Three years since the corporation were advised (by
an independent committee selected to examine their
affairs) to require its president to abandon a'sl other
avocations. The advice was declined, and we new
see the result.

Michigan Central has also gone to the board,
without any rumours of fraud or mismanagement.
These suspensions must do away with the system
of floating debts. The fall of all these corporations
can be directly traced to this pernicious system. In
the midst of such a general overthrow it is pleasant
to see a railway with a good statement. The New
York Central will show for the fiscal year ending
September the 30th gross savings of more than
8,000,000 dole., being an increase of more than
300,000 dole., and will report itself as without any
floating debt. It is also very agreeable to record
th• strength of the leading private banking houses.
They have had ample opportunity to strengthen
themselves for the crisis. In the general suspension
they are forced to pursue the -same course as the
public banks—namely, suspend specie payment ex-
cept to specie depositors. Otherwise they would
liquidate for the whole community. But this ought
not to, and will not, shake their general credit.
They feel—indeed, everybody must feel—that this
country is rich, and that the banks and merchants
only need act with a little more harmony than of
late to make its wealth available.

The state of affairs is thus 'described in the New
York Herald of the 14th :
" The town was rife with rumours of commercial
failures on Monday, most of which were entirely
without foundation. The Grocers' Bank, however,
stopped payment, and there was somewhat of a
run on one or two of the savings institutions, among
them the Bowery Savings Bank. The depositors re-
ceived their funds as fast as they could be counted
out. This bank on Monday received 607,000 doll.
from the Secretary of the Treasury, for redeemed
Government securities, and may, therefore, be re-
garded as impregnable. The Pennsylvania House of
Representatives, on Monday, by a vote of 34 to 56,
defeated the Senate bill, legalising the suspension
of payments by the banks.
• The money panic has indeed become a oriels.
Neiier has Wall-street presented such a scene of in
tense excitement as was witnessed yesterday. From
time to time the announcement of city bank sus-
pensions was made, _until the total failure of these
institutions number 18. The Hudson County Bank
of Jersey City also closed its doors. It is somewhat
remarkable that there were no failures of commer-
cial houses, or at least none of any importance. The
officers of the various unsuspended banks held a
meeting last evening, and after a discussion of some
three hours' duration, resolved to suspend to-day:'
Furthermore, a committee was appointed to pro-
ceed to Albany, to urge upon the governor the
necessity of calling .an extra session of the legisla-
ture to pass measures of relief. The run of the pre-
vious day upon the savings banks fell off yesterday
forenoon, and before the close of business it had
nearly ceased. The Pennsylvania Legislature yes-
terday passed a relief bill, and adjourned sine die.
The second Monday in April is the time fixed for
the resumption of specie payments in that state."
A reporter in the same paper gives the following
sketch of the excitement in Wall-street :

" Since the financial crisis has been upon us the
city has not passed through so severe an excitement
as was witnessed yesterday.
" At an early hour in the day rumours were rite
that several of the city banks bad suspended, and
immediately the vicinities of the different institu-
tions mentioned, and in fact of all the banks in the
city, were surrounded with anxious and alarmed
crowds, whose excitement was not allayed by see-
ing the ominous announcement on the doors of the
-,qcsed banks, This bank Lao euspended.'
" Wall-street in particular exhibited a scene which
it has not presented since the terrible time of 1837.
The banks were literally besieged, not alone by
those particularly interested, but by multitudes of
idlers and alarmists. To such an extent did this
reach that the aid of the police had in some in-
stances to be called in to enable the clerks to trans-
act business. On the streets the panic manifested
itself in thousands of alarmed lices either passing
hurriedly along from bank to bank, or gazing in
silent stupor from the opp site sidewalks at the
crowds ascending or descending the- steps of the
banking houses upon which the excitement seemed
to concentrate. It may hardly be necessary to say
that much of this alarm was needless ; but when we
look at the actualnumber of banks whir. hauspended
during the day, irrespective of the vague rumours
with reference to others flying around through an
already over-excited community, it is no wonder
that the equanimity of the city should have been
seriously disturbed."

The .New York Times thus speaks of the distress
which prevails in that city :
" It is certain that more than 2,000 girls, engaged
in the various departments of mantilla and cloak
making, are already out of employment. Nearly
every establishment of numerical importance has
reduced the number of hands from one-third to
one-half, and some of them more. Bulpin's esta-
blishment, before the failure, offered employment
to from six to eight hundred girls ; and MlCenzie's
establishment in Canal-street, before his failure,
gave employment to over two 'hundred girls, all of
whom have been discha,g,:d with the exception of
two. . _

"The bonnet business has not suff-red so much
as many other trade, al hough tt:et a is not so much
doing as is common at this season. The stock of
fall bonnets is not so large as usual. The principal
manufacturers are endeavouring; to make up in ac-
cordance with each day or we'k's demand, so that
there have not been *o many employed, and as the
demand continues, there have not been so many
discharged. The decrease is estimated at from BJJ
to J,OOO hands.
"The jewellery business is already sefonsly
,affectad. Several establishments that have em-
ployed from 20 to 50 men have discharged, some
one-third and others One.-half. their usual nunubt.
But as the quantity of jewellery manufactured here
is but small in comparison with the quantity im-
pede], the curtailment in the numb?r of men em-
ployed in manufacturing is nit large. The effect
of the pre-sure collies chiefly upon the wholesale
and retail de tiers. A heavy importer of French
jowellery in Nassau-street informed our reporter
that
.he was the only person who had en ere 1
estahlishihent in three ai eske hid had no pur-
chasers, neither had there been anyone"
cur;ous as to how he was getting along to step in
and inquire. All through the city the trade i
nearly at a " stand-still."
" Messrs. Starr and Underhill; 127, Maiden lane,
who haVeiecently su'sperided, were largely engaged
in the manufacture of hats, which were made in
Bloomfield, Orange, and Newark, N.J., and Sta-
pleton, Staten Island. They furnished employ-
ment to about 300 hands, who are now thrown out
of work. Their payments were from $l,OOO t)
$l,BOO every Saturday. They bad dieicounting
facilities with the country bankF, which, one after

another, were obliged to contract their discoun!s,
compelling them to seek elsewhere for the means to
pay their bands. They have sold goods on eight
months to the large trades in St. Louis, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and all the
principal cities. Frotn present indications they see
no prospect of a resumption of business for months
to come by the hat manufacturers to whom they,
have given employment.
"In Danbury and Bethel, Connecticut, the peo-
ple are almost wholly employed in the manufacture
of hats. Not less than from 1,500 to 2,000 persons
find employment there, all of whom have been de-
prived of business by interruption of this branch
of trade.

"All these establishments are winding up and
finishing what is on hand, but they are not manu-
facturing one new hat. There is, they say, a large
demand for the goods, but they have no money to
pay the hands with, and must therefore stop. The
proprietors of one of the largest houses say they
will not resume, at any rate, before the Ist Jan.

"Frank and.Straus, No: 51,Vesey-street,Clo-
thiare(failei), employed from 175 to 200 hands, all
of whom are thrown out of employment. Every
girl and man, however, was paid off before they
were discharged."
Under the head of " The Disasters of the Day,"
we find the following in the New York Evening
Post of the 10th :

"Joseph H. Conies and Co., a well-known dry-
goods commission house, has also suspended. They
are known to be worth three or four times their
liabilities, and went to protest from inability to
procure some $7,000. It is to be presumed that
their suspension will bo but temporary. Mr. Cor-
lies, the senior partner, has been more than forty
years in business in this city, part of the time as a
member of the well-known Quaker firm of Corlies,
Haydock, and Co., and has always been distin-
guished for his prudent business habits.
" The Bowery Bank, of this city, and the Central
Bank, of Brooklyn, stopped yesterday.
" Henry A. Coit, who has long been regarded as
one of our wealthiest citizens, and .whose business
operations have been very limited in proportion to
his means, was obliged to let his paper go to pro-
test yesterday for the want of some five or six thou-
sand dollars. The charac' er and extent of his liabili-
ties beyond has not transpired, though no ultimate
Ms is likely to be sustained by his creditors.
" John M. Genie, the hatter, has also been
obliged to suspend. He has been doing a very large
business, his sales amounting to some 800,000 dots.
a yew: He hopes to get an extension and pay in
full."

The Nets York Courier of the 14th inst. says :--
" What resources have we abroad to depend upon
And what aid can Europe give us during the coming
year ? These questions are of vital importance, and
will be asked and answers given in doruestic as well
as commercial circles. We can best resolve the pro-
blem by a consideration of the effect of the panic
of 1837 upon our foreign trade. Not that our trou-
bles are as great, but they are of a similar kind ;
otherwise the comparison would not hold good. We
give some statistics illustrating the changes at that
time in our foreign trade, and from this we can
forM some estimate of our foreign trade for the next
year :--

STATES FOR A SERIES 04' TEARS.

1836 $128,600,000 3190,000,090
1810... ......... 132,000,000 107,000,000
" From this we see that the exports in four years
increased four millions, -while the imports decreased
83 millions, or showing an improvement in our fo-
reign balance of 87 millions of dollars. The reaction
that took at that period four years to produce, will
now. be produced in twelve months.
"The commerce of the United States for the
&cal year 1856 was as follows : expOrts, 317,000,000
dole. ; imports, 315,000,000 dots. The decrease in
imports from 1836 to 1840 was 48 per cent., and
the increase in exports wa's 3 per cent. Applying
the same per tentage of increase and decrease to
the trade of 1856, our commerce for the present
fiscal year would be as follows

From this we see that, if Europe remain solvent,
the balance due us, after paying the debt which is
now due to Europe, will be over one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. This is au under-estimate
of our exports. The Emperor of France has just
issued an edict forbiddir, the export of grain from
France. The imports of cotton into Great Britain
from India this year will be nominal. Great Britain
will want our flour and provisions for her Indian
army. Enough has been given to show that our
exports must increase, and our imports are subject
to our own 'control. Europe must have our cotton
and breadstuff, and India our provisions. The gold
from California must stay with us. This aid we did
not have in 1837, and is in itself alone sufLient to
insure our recovery."
We derive the following particulars from various
sources :

SUSPENSION OF THE BANK OF THE STATE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.—This banking institution of thesstats-
was compelled by unavoidable circumstances to
suspend this forenoon. A good deal of excitement,
on the announcement of the fact, pervades our com-
munity. There is, however, no just cause of panic
—such a panic as will induce an unnecessary run
on the other banks. The liberality of this bank in
accommodating the people, when neither fun :a nor
currency could be obtained from other quarters,
had so exten&d its discount and ciiculation lines
that when the other banking institutions, insisting
on constant discharges of balances in specie between
them—an unwise and incongruous measure at this
crisis—made a pre-s upon it, its suspension became
inevitable. The note holders and depositors peel
not, however, apprehend any loss, unless in their
panic they choose to sacrifice their securias. The
immediate liability on bills and deposits is about a
million and a half. Th.s is hut a small praportion
ortho assets of the bank, which are unquestiouable.

exchange, its st:cks, all of which are realisable
in a limited

POLICE INTELLIGENCA—Ocf. 26.

WORSHIP-STREET.—A VICTIM.—After the
night charges had been disposed of, a young person
of lady-like address and deportment, entered the
witness-hos, and timidly requested the advice and
assistance) Of the magistrate under the follow-
ing afflicting circumstances :

The applicant, in a low and tremulous voice,
proceeded to state that she had recently returned
from Australia, where she had occupied a happy
and comfortable position for a considerable period,
as the wife of one of the clerks in the Melbourne
Post-office. About three years ago her husband sud-
denly died, but she was left with a sufficient provi-
sion to enable her to continue in the respectable
sphere to which she had always been accustomed,
until she was induced in au evil hour to accept an
offer of marriage from a person who represented
himself as a man of fortune, iu which character he
had obtained admission into the first circles at Mel-
bourne. Immediately after their marriage, how-
ever, she discovered that she had united herself to
a penniless adventurer, of such lavish and extrava-
gant habits, that in less than 12 mouths he had
squandered nearly the whole of her property, but
still kept up his lofty pretensions, and in order to
induce her to draw out from the Australian Bank
the small residue of her money, amounting to 801..
be deposited his will in her keeping, which he as-
sured her would put her in possession of his patri-
monial estate, in the event of his death. After
placing the whole of her remaining funds at his dis-
posal, they embarked for this country, where he
tAd her that his presence was imperatively required
to look after his property, which had been greatly
neglected in his absence, and as soon as they ar-
rived, he engaged obscure apartments in the neigh-
bourhood of Mile-end, where he commenced a con-
tinuous career of drunkenness and dissipation, for
the indulgence of which he deprived her by degrees
of all her personal ornaments, including her gold
watch and chain, which he afterwards laughingly
told her he had seen the last of, as he had pledged
them all, and lost the duplicates. About three
weeks since he was brought home by a policeman at
two o'clock in the Morning in a helpless state of
drunkenness ; and on upbraiding him with his
heartless conduct when he recovered his conscious
ness, lie coolly took up his hat and left without a
parting word, since which time she had seen no
more of him. After disposing of the few trifling
articles of wearing apparel which had not been sa-
crificed to thedebauchery of her worthless husband
she was reduced to such extremity that she was
co_npelled to take refuge with her child in the
Bethnal green Workhouse, the matron of which
had advised her to submit her unhappy case 'before
the magistrate.

In corroboration of her sad narrative, the appli-
cant produced some of her wedding cards, her mar-
riage certificate, and the valuable will, which had
been manifestly intended as a mere instrument of
deception from the obviously mythical character of
some of the bequest, one of which empowered the
legatee to receive all the rents and profits accruing
from two of the testator's houses, situate in King-
street, in the county of Wilts.
After examining the dominants of the unfortu-
nate lady, -

Mr. itammill expressed a hope that the case
would be noticed by the press, for the consideration
of the benevolent, as a more lamentable instance
of unmerited distress and wretchedness had never
before been brought under his notice. In the
meantime he should p►esent a sovereign to the
applicant for her immediate exigencies, and re-
gretted that the funds at his disposal were in such
an exhausted state that he was unable to afford
her further assistance.
The poor lady returned her heartfelt thanks to
the magistrate, and left the court in tears.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LAMBETH.—THE RECENT ROBBERY AT PECK
HAM-RYE.—Mrs. Caroline Richardson, a middle-
aged female, the wife of a notorious thief and
burglar, who about 12 months since had been con-
victed and sentenced to eight years' penal servi-
tude, for stealing a cash-box containing a consider-
able sum of money, from a public-house at Bognor,
in Sussex, was brought before Mr. Elliott for final
examination, on a charge of being concerned with
a man named Brookes, and a woman named Peach,
in stealing 2301. in gold and notes from the King's
Head public-house, in Meeting-houselane, Peck-
ham.

It will be recollected, from the testimony before
given, that the bedroom of the prosecutor, Mr.
John Coleman, which was on the first floor, had
been entered on- the night of the Ist Sept. last,
and cash to the above amount carried away from
one of the drawers. Some days after a notorious
thief named Brookes and a woman named Peach,
with whom he cohabited, were apprehended, and at
their lodginga were found two gold watches and a
quantity of jewellery, which they had purchased the
day after the robbery, and for the possession of the
money with which it had been purchased they could
not account, beyond Brookes saying that it was a bet
won on a horse-race. The prisoners were spoken

articles of new wearing'apparel, and yesterday the
following additional evidence, conclusive of her
participation in the robbery, was given ':—
Mrs. Mary Greenfield, 1, Meeting-house-lane,
Peckham, deposed that on the evening of the Ist of
September, at about half-past eight o'clock, she
saw the prisoner come from the house old. Cole-
man, the prosecutor, and on passing,ap a short dis-
tance she stopped and returned towards the King's
Head, and at nine o'clock, on going to Mr. Cole-
man's for her supper beer she saw her standing at
the bar drinking a gl,iss of gin.
Thomas George Allen, who described himself as
a leather-dresser, residing at 7, Earl-street, South-
wark-bridge-road, said—l know Mrs.. Peach who
has been committed for trial with a man named
Brookes, -and visited her in Horsemonger-lane gaol.
She told me to find out Vie prisoner's residence,
and I did so, and told Mrs Peach of it. She (Peach)
then saidto me, "Then you e. 0•., to Mrs. Richardson,

lane Gaol, where she ought to be, and that it she
does not'provide me with money for counsel, and

she prisoner, who raid in reply, " If I bad my share
of the money I have not la,.en such a fool with ,it as
they have been, and am making good use, of it,- and
tell her I shalt give her nothing." This reply to
the ines.sagel communicated to Mrs. Peach at Horse-

GREENWICH.--SINGULAR APPLICATION.--
Mr. Inspector Barry applied to Mr. Traill for
advice as to the bringing of three prisoners into
court, who were then in a state of nakedness ex
cepting their shirts, ponfiued in one of the police
cells.

The inspector observed, that the prisoners, three
young lads, -were brought before bis worship a few
days since for tearing their clothes and leaving
them Selves in a state of nudity on Blackheath, on
which occasion -they were taken into custody and
supplied each with new suits of corduroy by the
authorities of Greenwich union. His worship had
discharged them from custody, ordering them to be
taken to St. George's workhouse, Southwark,
where they stated they belonged to ; but the
authorities of which place had refu.ed them admit-
tance,-on the ;round that they had no legal set•le-
meat. • Having been found destitute in the parish
of Letvishain they had had a accommoda-
tion aff(irded4hem ; but had since disposed of their
clothes furnished them by the Greenwich union, on
which charge they were then lock( d up. Applica-
tion had been made at the Greenwich union for
other clothes for the prisour rs, but which bad been
•
rJused to be supplied.
Mr. Traill-ordeted the case to stand over unti!
after the surninan:sos were heardovlieu the prisoners,
who gave their names William Hilbert, Henry
Aneersley, and Thomas Henry James, were
brought int) eouit, canvas trousers having ben
furnished them during the interim.
Thomas Martin, porter at the Greenwich union,
said that on•Wedriesday last the police authorities
made application for and were supplied with four
suits of clothing for boys who had bleu found naked
on Blackheath. New suits of corduroy were fur
niched to them, the value of each suit being 12,.
- The prisoners, in reply to the magistra,to, con
fessed that they had sold their clothes to Some may.
who had given them 3s. each.
Mr. -Train said he regretted that the prisoners had
not actually been inmates of the Greenwich union
when furnished with the clothes, when he could

It was, however, sufficiently evi,lent tLey had
chosen a life of wandering about and imposing upon
the several parishes, and. for which he should sen-
tence each to one month's imprisonment in the
House of Correction.
The prisoners were then removed.

Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, as a
cattle-van was conveying from the London-docks a
remarkably fine specimen of the Bengal tiger, re-
cently imported by Mr. Jamrach, the eminent na-
turalist, of the abi,ve neighbourhood, the latch or
lock of the door gave way, and the animal finding
itself at liberty, bounded into the road, to the in-
tense terror of the passers-by. For some distance
it proceeded rapidly up the carriage-way, in a
crouching position, until by a fatal chance it en-
countered, at the corner of Betts•street, a little
boy, aged 11 years, who stood gazing curiously at
the strange spectacle. Before the lad had time to
escape from the ravage animal's path, it sprang
upon him, lacerating the back of his neck and head
in a ftightful manner. In the meantime one of
Mr. Jauurach's men, who had followed the beast in
its flight, had armed himself with a crowbar, with
which he struck repeated blows on the animal's
head to compel it to relinquish its grasp of the boy.
The last of these blows took effect, and so far
stunned the creature as to enable it to be secured ;
but we regret to say the bar, glancing from the
skull of the brute, inflicted a blow upon the head
of the already fearfully mangled little sufferer, who
was promptly removed to the London Hospital,
where he lies in a very precarious condition. But
slight hopes are entertained of his recovery.
We have received another account of the occur-
rence, as follows :—" Yesterday morning Mr. Jam-
rach received several boxes, containing two tigers,
a lion, and or,her animali, from the steam-ship Ger-
many, lying.off Hambro'-whiirf, near the Customs
home, Lower Thames-street, City. The packages
were safely placed in a van, and conveyed to the
warehouse iu Betts-street, t. George's-in-the-East,
where a number of labourers began to unload the
vehicle. They had removed several boxes into the
premises in safety, and had just lowered a large iron-
bound cage to thepavement in front of the gateway,
where Police-constable Stewart, 427 A, requested the
persons standing round to keep back from fear of
an accident. The next moment the occupant (a
fine full-sized tiger) became restless, and forced out
one end of the cage, when the spectators rushed in
every direction from the spot in a state of extreme
terror. The tiger appeared to be in a state of mad-
ness, and ran along the pavement in the direction
of Ratcliff-highway, where it seized the little boy,
John Wade, by the upper part of the arm. The
enraged animal was followed by Mr. Jamrach and
his men several yards, when the former obtaineu
possession of a crowbar and struck the tiger upon
the head and nose, which caused it to relinquish its
hold. In the meanwhile ropes were procured, and
the savage beast was secured and dragged into the
premises, where it was firmly fastened up by the
keepers. The poor boy was raised up by Stewart,
the police-officer, in a state of great suffering, with
two severe lacerated wounds in the arm and right
side of the face, and it was quite a miracle he was
t turn to pieces. The teeth of the animal passed
completely through the right arm. A cab was pro-
cured, in which the wounded boy was conveyed to
the London Hospiltal, where Mr. Forbes, the
house surgeon, rendered every assistance. The boy
was in a very low state from loss of blood from the
wounds, and last evening, at 7 o'clock, he was in
a very precarious condition, both from the injuries
and shock to the system through fright. At the
time of the escape of the animal the tradespeople in
the neighbourhood closed their shops, and remained
in a state of fear and anxiety for nearly half-an-
hour afterwards."
