LATER FROM FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

LATER FROM FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
 NEw-YoRK, July IA.
 The Havre Packet Ship Albany, Capt. Johnson, arrived yesterday from Havre.-- She brings us Paris and Havre papers to the 7th June, containing London accounts of the 9th, from which we make extracts below.
 It does not appear that intelligence of our suspension of specie payments had as yet reached England and France, but the refu- sal of the Bank of England to continue their support of the American houses in London, has produced the result we apprehended.- The Houses of Wilson, Wilde, Wiggin, Bell & Grant, and Gowan 6 Marx, of London, have failed. To certain extent, the conse- quences will be felt here no doubt, yet in the present state of things, they cannot add much 10 the general embarrassments. Messrs. Wilson's and Messrs. Bell & Grant are G. mong the oldest Commercial houses in Eng land, and enjoyed what the French call an European reputation. Their fall must ex. cite the regrets of all commercial men. tis painful to see men born to affluence, and who in their career through life have been distinguished by honor and liberality, thus prostrated-and it is more painful to us as Americans to know, that the narrow con- tracted, old woman notions of an old man, who regarded the possession of gold and sil- yer, as the sole evidence of national wealth, should have been allowed to derange the monetary and commercial system of the whole world
 In France, though tho endorsements of the day are no doubt severely felt, it does not seem that as yet any very serious conse- quences have ensued. Louis Philippe and hls Court seem entirely engaged with the marriage of the Duke of Orleans.

 The Mount Vernon F'armer.-The famerof Gen. Washington as soldier and statesman IS universally known, and highly admired by all who appreciate talents, worth, and love of country. but his character as farmer was less known in his day, and his memory in this respect is not venerated according to it's de- sert. Possessing ample means and the most ardent love for rural life, he was one of the nrsS experimental and practical farmers in Vlrglnla. His estate at Mt. Vernon, consist ed of 10000 acres of land in one body. equal 10 about 10 square miles. It was divided irto farms of convenient size, at the distance of two, three, and five miles from his mansion house. These farms he visited every day in pleasant weather, and was constantly en- gagged Tn making experiments for the im- ProVement of agriculture. Some idea of the extent of his farming operations may be formed from the following facts: In 1887, ne mad 5OO acres in grass-sowed 600 bush els ot oats-7OO acres with wheat, and pre- pared as much more for corn, barley, pota- toes, beans, peas, Ssc., and l5O with turnips. His stock consisted of l4O horses, ll2 cows, 2S6 working oxen, heifers and steers, and 5OO sheep. He constantly employed 25O hands and kept M ploughs going during the whole year, when the earth and state of the weather would permit. In l766, he slaugh- tered l5O hogs, weighing 1850, for the use of hls family, besides provisions for negroes The Van Buren papers are constantly charging upon the Banks, preconcorted ac. tion to suspend payment to harrass the gov. ernment. These consunlmate simpletons for. get that the first Banks which stopped were government institutions, Pet banks, contain. ing the funds of the national treasury. The Dry Dock stopped first in New York, and a Pet Bank in St Louis and another in Matches

"Apostacy in "the party.''-Dr. Montgome- ry, the Jackson-Van Buren candidate in the Hillsborough district in North Carolina, has come out strongly in faror of e National Bank and further has joined himself to the two re- cusant U. s. Senators, Messrs. Walker and Nicholas, and repudiates the opinion, so long cherished by the party, of the infallibility of General Jackson, and has even conceded that "the pocketing of the Treasury circular bill, after its passage by such an overwhelming majority through both Houses of Congress. ,cas e gross act of usurpation." Jackson pre- scriptions are no longer palatable to "Old Rip," and Dr. Montgomery finds that he must adopt some other practice more rational and healthy. He must either abandon the de- structive policy of the party, or else the idea of representing any portion of the citizens of l the old North State.-Bah. Patriot.
 Dreadful accidem.-The Alexandria (D. c. Gazette of Thursday says" Yesterday eve- ming at about o'clock, the new steamboat Union, which had just commenced running as ferry boat between this place and the Maryland shore, while about to start from the opposite side of the river, burst her boiler with tremendous explosion. Three persons were killed upon the spot, Mrs. Green, the Wife of the engineer black man and black woman. A number of persons were dread fully scalded and cut, but we hope no other lives will be lost. The boat was running gra- tIs all day, and numbers of persons crossing the river. The causes of the explosion will no doubt be inquired into by competent persons W. Y. Express.
