March OF THE PANIc.-The Times and
the Globe have asserted, over and over again,
that there is no real distress-that il Is all
panic, got up for political effect-and that it
would all be over with the close Of the elec-
tion. The whig papers, on the other hand,
have contended for the reality Of the evil, and
fore warned the industrious classes that they
must not hope to escape it; that although the
merchants were the first sufferers, in the war
wuged against them.by the government, they
would not be the last or only victims. Has
not the warning proved faithful and truc?-
Let the report of proceedings in Common
Council last evening, answer the question:
Among the petitions presented was one from
224 operatives, praying for employment; for
the means Of earning bread for themselves
and their children. Heaven forbid that VIC
should quote this fact, with any other feeling
than those Of comniriseration and regret but
we may hope that j! will open the eyes OF
thousands in this city, who have joined in the
political revel by which those now in power
attained their miscbief-working eminence,
and make them sce and know that the de-
struction Of commerce is not and cannot be
the making of any class, however fair and
flatterng may be the promises Of the destroy.

IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.

The packet ship George Washington, Capt
BrittOn, arrived at New York Oh Monday
morning, from Liverpool, whence she sailed
on the 25th March, bringing London papers
to the 23d. The following are the most i'm
portant items Of intelligence: M
The American merchants have joined in a
bond to the Bank Of England, whereby they
have obtained the requisite relief for the pres
ent emergency.
An agent Of the Bank Of the United States
was in London, and was actively engaged in
facilitating the arrangements on foot. 1t will
be seen that the Bank Of the United Stntes
is authorized to draw Immediately for f2,
100000.
Z II is understood that the George Washing
ton brings back protested bills only TO the
amount of about 100000.
/ The British forces under Gen. Evans, IN
Spain, had received a severe check on the
10th, and been compelled to retreat to St
Sebastian, with loss Of about 1000 killed
and wounded, as admitted by Gen. Evans, in
his despatch. Gen. Evans had advanced to
Hermann. and was preparing to assault tha'
place, when the Carlists attacked him.
The blame is thrown upon the Spanish
troops, acting in concert with the British, and
still more upon Espartero, who allowed q
large body Of Carlists to gain Hermann, and
reinforce the garrison. The Csrlists were
much elated by their success. Their loss in
the engagement was also very severe. g..

the other. In Bristol, we have gained one;
in Warwick one; in Cranston one; There be-

ELECTION OF SECRETARY.

The overwhelming majority which HENRY
BowEs has received for Secretary of State
over Mr.. George Turner, is not only convinc-
ing testimony in favor Of that gentleman, but
it speaks well for the people. They have Civ
en- their verdicts against the petty intrignes
of Anti Masonry, and have again resolved,
that so long as the Office is filed as,.s now is,
the incumbent shall not be removed. This
is the second attempt made by the Homora-
bes Dutec J. Pearce, Turner, Burlington
Anthony, and the "Punch Party" as Gov.
Fenncr most significantly calls it, to displace
Henry Bowen, and the result we should sup
pose would satisfy them, that their labor is
lost. Mr.. Bowen, n,maugre all their efforts, has
been elected by an overwhelming majority,
and the People have declared that character
and responsibility are of more consequence in
their eyes, than the clamor of brawling par
tizan, who wanted to receive his pay out OF
the General Treasury instead of Anti-mason-
ic pockets.
| " the result Of this contest is any test OF
the influence of Dutee J. Pearce and his as
soeiat cs it seems to us that his prospects next
4 August wear sombre aspect. Pearce was
unusually active in behalf Of Turner and pro-
claimed with characteristic modesty bis sue
cess. He will find that in espousing his cause
he hus jumped into hornets nest, from
which he cannot escape without being stung
That he will decline reelection to Con-
gress, we very much fear. In every quarter
of the State, particularly in Cranston and
Warwick, leading men who have heretofore
sustained, will abandon him. We long fol
the day Of trial TO come. We shall rejoice tc
record his defeat as well as that Of all traitors
to the best interests of Rhode Island.
But enough Of this for the present. Mr.
Bowen, it will be remembered, was the regu
lar candidate Of the Democratic Party, so cal
led-Turner was the Anti.masonic candidate
Accordingly we we're somewhat curious t.
know how the democratic party in this towI
would support the caucus nomination; Al
most to man they bolted and poted for Turner
Now then, if Mr.. General Treasurer, Xerne
should be nominated another year, he mus
not complain, if all the party do not vote TO
him. If Mr.. Dutee }. Pearce should be no
minated in August, he must not complain, i
Gov. Fenncr and his friends DO not sustain
him. And just so with the er. Speaker, re.id
ing in North Kingstown,c certain Antimason
ic Sherifis. and the Custom House gentry
both here and in Providence, with few hon
orable exceptions. IF these men abandon
the regular nomination, and vote for persoI
Of known incompetency for the most import
ant Office in the State, they cannot expect tn
countennnce Of the majority. Let them b.
remembered.

MEXICO.
PARIS, March 6, 1887.

By an arrival at New Orleans from Vera
Cruz, advices from that port have been re-
ecived to the Both Of March, and from the c-
ty-of Mexico to the Goth. The intelligence,
however, is very limited.
Senor Corro, the president ad interim, had
resigned according to orders, but the Con-
gress refused to accept his resignation.
fssassinations and robberies are sad to
be frightfully numerous, the former averag-
ing six per month.
The priests are said to be exerting all their
influence against Bust tamente, and in favor of
Alaman. The military are for Bustamente
The orders for the expedition against Tex
as are said TO have been recalled for the pre-.
sent. '...
There was talk at Vera Cruz of an ap-
preaching visit by French squadron, to en-
force the demand lor restitution, SC. made by
tire minister of that power.
The Vera Cruz papers abound with eulo-
gies and adulaton Of Santa Anna.
The Cosmopotita of Mexico announces that
the President ad interim has vetoed the de-
cree Of the Congress; depriving Santa Anna
of tho Presidency.
Some of the accounts say that a French
vessel OF. war had actually arrived at Vera
Cruz, and that four others. from the French
squadron in the West Indies, were OH the
coast.
The U. S. sloop of war Natchez was cruis.
ing on the coast, to see that the flag was re-
spected, and that no depredations were COM
mltted on American vessels.

an important system Of Telegraphs, whicl
casts into the shade every thing Of the SAM
kind that has yet beeh attempted. BY thei
admirable plan, they can communicate ever,
kind OF information, word by word, and pune
tuate the sane, without using more signals
than words, and with as much rapidity as
person can write, or even speak! They hav,
received the most hattering encouragement
from those literary and scientific gentlemen
to whom they have explained the system, an,
not doubt is entertained that it will accom-
pish the purposes Of the inventors, and real
ize all that has been anticipated from it, M
Gonon assures me that I've will be able I
communicate a despatch, Of one hundrc
words, from New York to New Orleans,

acquainted with the system confirm his prom
ises."
