From the same.

The following extract Of letter from one OF
the wealthiest Of our American merchants resi-
ding in England, is suggested by an alluslon
in the same letter TO the dishonorDg Of the
bills of exchange Of the United States Bank
No doubt.it expresses the general opinion Of
intelligent commercial men in England, as it
certainly does here
I'VE can now understand and appreciate the
cause of Mr.. Bddes resignation, and the Sc
lecting Of Mr.. Dunlap to supply his place, an
individual whom we had never before heard Of.
1t is INV deliberate opinion that the United
States Bank has been the great moving cause
of all the financial distress that has existed in
America for the last four years, and | predict
that Mr.. Biddle and his measures will be ere
long understood, and his name will be execra-
ted by generations TO come, for the mischief he
has been the author Of"

from Virginia, where they had been sold at a

WHAT SHOULD AND WHAT WILL
THE BANKS OF R. ISLAND DO

The monster has fallen and shall the whole
country be buried in its ruins The Bank Of
the United States, with its original capital of
S35, 600. 900, after all its extraneous efforts, its
unbounded circulation of bank bills, its millions
swept from public usefulness by the sale Of post
notes, its disregard of honesty in drawing on a.
gents in Europe for immense amounts without
providing the means to secure their being hon

to quail under the present pressure pressure,
too, brough, about. by its own immediate agen-
cy. and by the profuse issue of post notes, sold

the country, who could command from the
greatest to the smallest sums

If the banks in New England take the eleya-

RECAPITULATIoN.
PENNSYLVANIA.

Greatly increased democratic majorties and
the total overthrow of the Ritner rebellonists.
are the results of the late election in this BILE
state. But the new election law TO prevent
frauds has produced another result ofmuch inn
portance at the present time. In the 80 Con-
gressional District which the federalists have
heretofore carried by fraud, it now appears that
there is large Democratic majority. and there
fore the right of Mr.. Ingersoll to mis- seat in
Congress can hardly be disputed.
The following article from the Evening Post
gives the returns Of the election as far as recev
ed
PENNsYLvANIA.-The returns from this state
come in very slowly. We give the result as
far as it can be ascertained. In the city and
county of Philadelphia united the democrats
have elected all their officers by from 1900 TO
5000 majority. Last year, the wings had "a
majority of 1852. In the disputed Congress
sional (3d) district where the wings claim that
they defeated Mr.. lns ersoll last year, the dem
ocrats have majority of about 2000. The
counties of Chester, Montgomery, and Della
ware, compose one Senatorial district, upon
which depended the political character Of the
next State Senate. " Having carried that"
says the Pennsylvania, There is now no
doubt but that the democrats have both branch
es Of the Legislature, and the State by much
larger majority than usual"

THE BITTER BITTEN.

A piscatorlal lawyer, short time ago. in the
course OF a predatory excursion against the fin
ny tribe, was throwing his line into the river
Wolldnd, at a village three OF four miles TO the
west of Stamford, when he hooked a very fine
pike; 1t required some little exercise OF skill
To get him to land, and his exertons were ca
gerly regarded by gaping native he was at
length successful, and the gasping fish was laid
upon the bank
Hodge expressed his wonderment at the open
jaws aud sharp teeth of Mr.. Pike, and was ad
vlsed by the lawyer, (who was thinking perhaps
OF the many clients lie himself had bulen) to
put his finger in the fshs month by way of an
experiment; " Noa, noa, said Hodge. " but he
may just lak' grip OF my dog's tail, If he loke'
SuIting the action TO the word he inserted the
tip of the dogs tail between the jaws Of the
pike which were instantly closed. Away went
the dog, and away went the fish dangling at his
tail, to the high qualification of the country
man and to the dismay of the cunning lawyer.
The latter raised a shout TO stop thief, and en-
treated Hodge to call back his dog but calling
was OF no use, they were soop out of sight, and
the fish, irretrievably lost TO the quill driver
was soon deposited beneath the humble roof of
the yIllager who left the lawyer endeavoring Ia
catch another fish, but not very well pleased I

proved himself TO he the ceverer coRreydncer

ARRIVAL OF THE LIVERPOOL.
EIGHTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.

The steam ship Liverpool arrived at New
York on Thursday morning, with Liverpool
dates to Sept. 2lst, and London to the evening
of the Goth.
/ The New York Journal Of Commerce says
The Liverpool brings "a passengers. among
whom are Major Hall, Secretary to the Rt.
Hon. Poule, Thompson, the new Governor of
Canada: Mr.. Singleton. attache of the U.
States Legation; Gen. Hamilton, and Mr..
Nolte. She has also very valuable cargo, a.
mongst which are sixty cases Of figured silks Of
very rich fabrics and of the value Of 10000
each.
q AS to the affairs Of the United States Bank
the accounts are very contradictory. Hettiu-
ger x Co. had refused acceptance to some five
or SIX millions offrancs, about the 18th Of Sept.
Mr.. JaudOn Immediately repaired to Paris, and
some letters dated 10Th, say tha, Rothschild
had accepted all the bills, and one we saw, says
" the stock OF the Bank has nearly recovered
from the shock" The London papers Of the
Goth are all, however, in doubt about the mat
ter. gentleman, passenger Oh board the
Liverpool, connected with great house in
London, says that up to the last moment. the
negotiation was open. Rothschild, he says,
had agreed TO accept the bills, on condition
that Mr.. Jaudou. on returning to London,
should furnish ample security. Mr.. Jaudon
had returned to London. but whether he had
been able to adjust the security was not known
FOR certainty, and the matter wa. discussed in
this shape between him and other London gen.
tlemen. up to the moment of bis starting. The
letters from London make all sorts Of COM
ments on this affair.
The newspaper accounts represent the pros
poets OF the crop as very dismal. There 10

In New Jersey. although the federalists have
increased their majority in the state legislature,
by means of their rotten borough system yet

statement of the actual Democratic majority in

An Edobugh Journal contains some remarks
on the subject of advertising IN newspapers-
/ They appear TO be sensible and judicious-
Those of our readers, however, who are engag-
ed in business. will be better enabled TO Judge
from their own experience, what degree of inn
portance is to be ascribed to the writer's obser-
,aious. He says.
The first utility of frequent and regular ad-
vertising is this there is, at all times, large
class OF persons, both in the country and town,
who have no fixed places for the purchase of
certain necessary articles, and are ready TO be
swayed aud drawn towards any particular place
which is earnestly brought under their notice
Indifferent TO all, they yield without hesitation
TO all who ask. Then, in the country. a con-
siderable numbe, OF persons, who wish supply
OF them, naturally open communication with
that address, which perhaps, leads to niue h
ulterior business. People in the country are
also liable TO be iavorably impressed by the ire
quent sight Of a name in the newspaper
The advertising party acquires distiuction
IN then eyes, and thus they are led in making
a choice To prefer him. But bv Ear the most
| mportant effect el advertising is one of an in
direct nature that conveys the impression that
toe party-pretending or not pretending g--quack
lSh or not quaCkIsh-is anxious for business
Que who is ANXIOUS for business is uuavoidably
supposed to be industrious, attentive. civil per.
sou. who keeps the best articles at the cheapest
rate. does every thing in the neatest and most
tradesnanlike manner. and in general uses every
e>pedient TO CRAFTY aud attract customers
People. of course, like TO purchase under these
circumstances, aud the system of advertising as.
surIng them that such circumstances exist al
his particular shop. they select IL accordingly. -
n II may be added that in Great Britain where
'hese views are set forth. the cost Of advertising
IS much greater than in this country. Ii the
advantages of the practice in that kissdom arc
rs great as the Edinburgh paper supposes. even
With the draw beck OF heavy expense, the in-
erenee is very suong that here its good effects
would be still more apparent.-B BAH. American.
