A late money article Of the New York
Herald, says:
"The u. 8. Bank has disappeared from
the financial circles, and nothing remains
to those directly interested in it, but a
mass Of rubbish, the value OF which is
entirely unknown, even TO its proprietors.
The committee Of last winter refused to
give the stockholders any account OF the
assets, other than .'it was not mercantile
paper" They diverted public attention
by raising hue and cry against the Off
GERS, and the result has been, that, after
the excitement had subsidized. the manage.
ment of the bank went back under the
control Of those identical men by whom il
was ruined. The old agents, Mr.. Jau.
don, and all, were re:appoin,ed, and these
men ale now dividing all ,ha, remains,
preferring deb.s, making partial assign.
ments, and are fri,,ing away the assets in
all directions. Still the stockholders re-
main passive, and. as il supplied by their
losses, make no movement towards saving
anything. Besides the capital Of the U.
s. Bank, $50, 100000 IF bank capital in
Philadelphia, has deprecated greatly, and
the stockholders seem TO be rePnslng in
security. The Girard bank, the Schuyl-
kill, the Western, the Mechanics. and
the Lehigh Coal Company, with its enor.
nous debt, amounting to near S5 ,OO0, 600
are among the worst Of these. DO the
kholiers and creditors mean to submit
to total loss withou. taking any steps to
retrieve their affairs! 1t is time they were

FIRE IN HAMBURG.-We have just re.
turned from destructive FIRE in Hamburg,
which originated about eleven o'clock
last night in the store of Mr.. Geo. Parrots,
Grocer and Commission Merchant, on
Centre street, which was soon enveloPed
in flames and communicated to the exten-
sive Grocery store Of Sibley & Crapon,
Immediately adjoining, on the corner Of
Centre and Mechanic streets, both Of
which, together with the back stores and
contents, were ealirely destroyed. And
but for the timely arrival Of, and prompt
assistance afforded by our engines, (there
being none in Hamburg.) the whole town
nnrlhwest of where the fire originated.
and toward which the wind was setting di.
reclly, must have been consumed. They
however, succeeded in preventing its
crossing either street, although the win.
dows and doors of the brick building oc-
cupied BY Messrs. Wright, Bull & CO..
and Henkel g. Robinson, were several
times on fire.
In the confusion we could not learn any
thing definite as TO the probable loss sus.
tained either by Mr.. Parrott, or Messrs.
Sbley g. Crapon. i, is no doubt consider
able, as the latter had very large stock
Of goods on hand, and the former had
considerable stock Of his own, andmany
in store. We also learned they were in
sured, but whether Sufficient to cover
their losses, VIC could no. ascertain.
The prevailing impression was that it
was the act of an incendiary.-Chronicle.
We learn by private letters received by
yesterday, mail that Messrs. Sibley &
Crapon's loss was not SO extensive as
above reported, they having saved their
back stores and contents.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

The British steamship Columbia arrived al
Boston on the 10th, in fifteen days from Liv.
erpool. AT the time of her departure there
was much less excitement in England re.
specting the relations between that country
and the United States. notice was posted
up at Lloyd's for transports to convey GOO
troops to Halifax, where 1000 are shortly tc
be sent, to reinforce the battalions already
there.
The tone of the press on the subject of Nc

Most of the papers read the address as lean

seem, than they had expected. Of course
the first attention was given to that portion
In which reference was made to the foreign
relations of the country, and on this, opinions
were somewhat variant.
The Times speaks of its language as "cau-
tious and diplomatic" but "calm and digni-
fed" and arrives at the conclusion that Gen.
Harrison would be of opinion that the de-
mands of England, in reference to Mcleod.
are such as ought to be granted by America.
The Times expresses its surprise at the
"ultra democratic" theory ofgovernment pro-
pounded by Gen. Harrison, which it saws, if

II Question Of Veracity.--It may be remem-
bered (says the NY Commercial Advertiser)
that Lord Palmerston, some time ago, on tho
floor of the House of Commons, declared that
the assumption responsibility for the attack
upon the Caroline had been officially made
known to theGovernmento fthe United States,
through NIr. Stevenson, the U. S. Minister at
the Court of st. james, three years ago. In
reference to this declaration the London Times
makes the statement following
We are anxious to enforce the expediencv
OF getting at the truth Of rumor which has
been accredited in the best informed circles,
and OF which we see no reason to doubt the
truth-namely, that within day or two after
Lord Palmerston assured the House of Com
mons that he had, three years ago, informed
Mr.. Stevenson of the British Government
having sanctioned the destruction of the Car
oline, the American Minister, Mr.. Stevenson,
addressed himselfby note or words to the Bril-
tish Foreign Secretary, positively alleging
that his Lordship had stated what was not
the fact, for that the American Government
had never yet had such communication from
any official functionary of Great Britain
The whole corps hplomatfgue now in Lond OH
have, we understand, been fully appraised of
this matter, which reflects gravely upon the
character OF British Secretary of State.
