APPREIIENDED MURDER AND
ROBBERY.

The following narrative OF the disappear
ance Of two respectable citizens Of the town
OF Paris, Henry county, which we find IN the
last West Tennesscan, will excite general
surprise and curiosity. AS no mention is
made of the missing partners having left
home in embarrassed circumstances, the
suspicion Of foul play on the river, will strike
The reader as altogether reasonable.
"Messrs. Brown g. Wiley, hatters and
partners, left this place in the stage about the
9TH Of July, and went to Mil!Ss Point, where
they embarked on the steamboat WIN. French
for Smithlund. Brown had appointed to
meet a gentleman there on business, aud was
10 return home from that place--Wiley was
to continue on to tue Eastern cities to make
purchase of furs and trimmings for the use
of their shop bere-for which purpose they
had been securing this section of country
for months 10 procure money that would
answer their purpose eastward, aud in The
absence of bank notes that could be used
without ruinous discount, they had gathered
three or four thousand dollars in silver and
carried it with them in trunk.
Brown not having returned and nothing
being heard from either Of them, messenger
was despatched few days ago to see if he
could gather iidings Of them. lie traced
them to Mils's Point-saw their names reg.
istered there-.ascertained that they took
passage on the stcomboat WIN. French next
day for Smi,hand fell in with the captain OF
that boat, who said he landed them at Smith
and. The gentleman in pursuit then went
to Smiililand, where they were well known,
aud made dllgcnt inquiry, but nobody had
seen them there. The gentleman that Brown
was to NEE, there, waited TIL tho 10Th of July,
md then wrote letter TO him here complain
ing Of his not coming. The inference is very
strong that they have been murdered on board
the steamboat or Immediately after landing.
(perhaps in the night) at Snthland, and that

ING being removed, a relief can now be ex.
tended to a suffering people, by relating thei'
orders for curtails, as well as by suitable aics
through discounts.
But besides the foreign demands for specie.
the recent fires in New York and in this city,
have made call for the relief OF the suf.
ferers under nll their terms for at least one
million and a half Of dollars. This is an ad
dition to the previous pressure. The calam-
ity required to be met-but the banks could
not meet this additional demand, except at
the loss Of just that much Of specie TO the
country.
There is great relief at the bottom Of this
suspension. Let the people regard it in its
true light, and it will be every where up.

The means required for rebuilding our
burnt districts. both hero and in New York,
can now be had-nnd this will be to set thou.
sands of mechanics aud working men to work,
who must otherwise have remained idle.
As for Philadelphia, to pursue, this course
was her only available measure Of salvation.
To postpone it, would have been to drain her
of her silver in few months, for the benefit
Of New York. Two millions Of specie must
inevitably have gone by the first Of Novem'
Der, as one million did go from one only ofour
institutions within month past Of course
the fractional parts of dollars under five, und
the change under ono dollar, will continue Ia
be paid in silver. This is fairly prcsumable
there being no notes under the first denoml.
nation allowed by statute.

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS
The Philadelphia, and nearly all the
Banks in the South, as far rs they have
been heard from, have suspended spc-
Gle payments. This event, however
much to be deplored, has been expect
ed by men familiar with the business
concerns of the country.
The causes which have mainly con-
tributcd to produce this Notifying and
unpleasant measure, are such and are
so well understood by every man who
is conversant with the history of the
Loco-foco administrations of the coun-
try, that it cannot now be necessary or
profitable to recite them. In our poor
Judgment, there remains but little else
for the great mass Of the people to do
at present, but to continue unabated
their confidence in our Banks, and
cheeriully to aid them by all the means
at their command, and thus to save
them, if possible, from falling into the
same unfortunate predicamcnt. We
have noticed with much pleasure, the
resolutc determination on the part Of
the New York Banks, and the Banks
in'Now England, to hold on, and hold
out in redoemiug their bills with specie,
come what may. We sincerely hope
that they may not be compelled, by cir
cumstanccs unforeseen and beyond their
control, or by the necessities and sut-
ferings Of the men Of business in their
midst, to falter and fail in their Efforts
to carry out their praiscworthy and ho-
norablo determination. Let every man
who can put his hand upon dollar in
specie, carry it TO bank aud exchange
for papcr-this is one way, and by no
means the least cllcctual, of enabling
the banks tn sustain themselves against
the extraordinary pressure that is upon
them.

FOREIGN NEws.-Our readers will
perceive that an unusually large por-
ton of our paper is devoted to foreign
news. The character and important
bearing Of the news, showing as il does
the highly unsettled state of all business
affairs in by far the greater part of the
civilized world, and showing also the
jeopardy which threatens the stability
even of the governments Of some of the
European and moro eastern nations of
the world, cannot fail to create deep
and lively interest in the minds of all
who may carefully read, and deliber-
atcly reflect, upon the history of recent
events as they are detailed in our col
umns Of to-day. The aspect Of affairs
as they are rapidly developing them
selves in every passing day, is Of a
character too mixed, too uncertain and
mysterious, to admit of sober prediction,
as to what a single day may bring forth.
The most able, and best trained minds
to be found among the distinguished
statesmen and politicians Of all coun-
tries, appear to faltcr and qualc in their
Efforts to grasp and comprehend either
the course orthc import ofpassing events.
Let the people Of this highly favored
land, bear the solemn truth constantly
in mind, that in the great drama of hu-
man affairs, the constantly changing
scenes of which, are being SO quickly
enacted before them and in their very
midst, they arc not, nor cannot be, ei-
thcr idle or unintcrested Spectators
But on the contrary, we, as people,
have high and responsible part assign
cd to us to perform, and upon the man
ner in which we shall perform that part,
not only ourselves, hut the world al
large have deep and most abiding in
tcrest.

BAvRE DE GRACE, Saturday, Sept IA.
Three o'cioek-This town, or rather the
conmerclal portion of it, is quite in commo-
ton, in consequence OF q circumstance Of
immense Importance which has just occurred
in the mercantile world here. You are Of
course aware that Havre is the great entire
pot Of the products Of the New World as far
MS France is concerned and that its ,ransac-
tions with the United States Of America. car.
ried on by a double line of packet ships from
hence TO New York aud New Orleans, are
therefore, the transactions of the French ma
ton. In their ambition To rival the manu-.
factures of England, and consequently to dis.
pense with them altogether, the commercial
capitalists of this country have Tor the last
two years overtraded IN cotton.
One Of the fearful results Of this gambling
system Of speculation has just fallen in thi.
CITY like a ihunder-bolt. This morniug bill
uf the United States Bank for q sum Of lit
tie short Of million sterling was dishonorcd
by the house on which il was drawn in Uayre

with the house of Barring, Brothers a. Co. oi

siernation this circumstance has caused here,
or the injury which is likely to accrue from

New Jersey has nobly done her duty.
The Wings have triumphant majority
in both branches of the Legislature, and
as a matter of course the Legislature,
whose duty it is TO choose Governor,
will place i'm the executive chair sound
and uncompromising Wing. The re-
suit of this election must cfiectually put
to rest all attempts of the Loco focos,
to prevent the representatives of that
State in Congress, from voting in the
choice of Speaker. If the Loco focos
had succeeded in carrying New Jersey,
their Gov. would have given certifi-
cate Of election to the Loco focos, who
claim, without the slightest grounds for
doing so, to have been elected and
thus both sets, the Wing members who
were honestly elected, and the Locos,
would both claim their seats, which
would have afforded pretense enough
for the House, to exclude the delega-
ton of that state from voting in tho
election Of Speaker, and thus perhaps
secure the election Of one OF their own
clan to that responsible office.

OLIVER III. PERRy.-The very able
and mastery manner in which the Hon.
Tristan Burgess, has yindicated the
hard and well earned fame of the dis
tinguished hero of Lake Erie, against
the foul and contemplate attack Of the
mean and cowardly Elliot, is spoken Of
by the papers throughout the country,
in terms of the highest commendation.
We are glad indeed, that Judge Bur-
ges has so nobly volunteered his able
pen in the honorable and grateful SER
vice Of doing what never could, nor ne
YER would have been required at his
hands, if RHODE ISLAND had guarded
the fair fame Of the lamcnted hero, with
the pride, and deep solictudc that so
strongly marked and characterized all
her earliest feelings and determinations.
Those feelings and determinations
were directly and clearly made known
in her Legislative proceedings, imme-
diately after the early and untimely de-
cease of the lamemed hero-and there
they remain upon the Legislative ro-
cords, as evidence Of what every true
Rhode Islander would, if he could most
willingly forget-basc ingrattude and
cruel ncgligence.--But the time has ar-
rived, the fit, and proper time, and in
fact The only time, when, without anoth-
er and still deeper blush, Rhode Island
may inquire into chat she has done,
and whether she has done all that her
duty, no less than her honor, requires
she should do, and that speedily too, in
order to convince the country, and the
world, that she still has right to claim
Perry, as her own, and one Of her wor-
thiest sons.

some cases is nearly worthless. In Anglcsey

this county matters are very bad. Wcdnes-

decided change for the better seemed to have

LANcAsHiRE.-There appears now to be
little if any doubt Of our having u season Of
such scarcity that famine, without an i'm.

result. We have travelled this week over
considerable portion Of Lancashire, and where
the crops seem to be in q most lomentablc

three. .fourbs OF the wheat produced will
when got, be unsound, and consequently be
