BANK RxpLosIoNs--This cholera in the paper
curreacy increases every day BY our accounts
from Philadelphia and Baltimore, more runs have
been made on the banks-more explosions have ia.
ken place-and more are expected daily.
TIE great State Bank of Pennsylvania was ,ottev-
ing to is base on Saturday. and it is generally ex-
pec,d that it will fellow in the wake of the United
Sacs aud the Girard Banks, sometime this week.
ier,ect panic prevails in all the INFECTED cities

Ba tmore, has blown up It's safety valve and dlsap'

la the mics, ofthese EXPLOSIONS the people seem
20 be Justly excited, bu, rull remain orderly How
loul can this be expected We trust forever The
she king conduct OF tn banks and financiers is
enough TO drive vlrtuous and honest people out of
their senses. The terrible scenes of desols,,,n
these corrupt institutions have produced on society
morals, would have deluged less in,euiyent
country with blood and carnage.
We trust, however, that nothing to disturb public
order will take place in the infected cities" These
bank explosions are the happest events that can
take place. They strip the DISCUSSES from the scoun-
dres They may be at FIRST, but they will cor
rect mems opinions and settle down in the solid b,
lief that gold and silver the only eternal curren

The Closing Scene Of Colts TrlaI-The


Verdict.
The closing scene OF this extraordinary drama,
exceeded in interest every other act of it, The Jury
went out about SIX at night, and remained out ten
hours. During that time large mob collected
around the City Hall, and knots and groups of per-
sons assembled all about the Park, discussing the
probable verdict and all the facts in the case Hour
after hour passed by, and the interest increased
All sorts OF rumors were afoat to the position OF
the Jurors, and the scenes in the Jury Room. The
officers listened at the key-hole and reported pro-
gres and it spread like wildfre through the crowd.
that the Jury stoed seven for MURDER three for man
slaughter, aud two for excusable homicide Then,
alter discussing it hour, they stood seven for MUIR
der, and five for manslaughter. Then they discussed
1t another hour and they stood ten to two and there
they seemed likely TO stand. There were, in short,
all sorts of rurlors about the vote in uryroom, but
nothing certain.
In the mean time, the Judge had returned, waited
till midnight, and then gone back home. Groups OF
anxious persons fingered about the Courtroom
The prisoner, tired, and worn out, gave way to
the impulses of nature, laid down on BENCH threw
handkerchief over his face, and slept soundly while
the Jury were deciding the fate of his existence.
The time-the p!ace-the circumstances-thes solemn
stiffness of the night, ALI combined to form scene
not easily forgotten
AT last, when the verdict was agreed upon-the
Judge was sent for and it was soon whispered about
that it was fatal The prisoner was awoke, and his
countenance fell. The Judge and Jury at last faced
each other for the last tmethe prisoner was told TO
look on the Jury, and when to the " How say you
gentlemen - Of the Clerk, the words Guilty oil
Murder fell from the lips Of the foreman. Colt ap
peared horror stricken His counsel, Mr. Morrill,
ordered the Jury pslled, and they answered, one
or TWO burst into tears The prisoners heart almost
died within him. Morrill, then applied TO the Court
for time to present their exceptions, and the Court
agreed to meet this morning at ten o'clock, to hear
them Colt was then removed to prison.
Now comes, then, the most exciting part OF the
drama will he be hung-or will new trial be
granted Will the Governor dare to pardon him =!
We think not. The verdict seems to give general
satisfaction. The public have had their eye on Colt
rom the time of his arrest till this hour and had
he verdict not been MURDER" we don't know
what would have been the consequence. The pub
c have been cheated so often, that Colt has to sui
Ter for the sin of Ezra White, Robinson, and all who
lave escaped for the last ten years. 1t is very
Unjust thing. But so it is. We shall see what
o-day will bring forth.

ATLANTIC STEAM NAvIGArIoN.-We learn from
our southern papers, that on the 10th inst the people
OF New Orleans. Savannah, and Charleston, had SIX
days later news from Europe, than we had received
here. This news las carried to Havana and Bar
BADGES by two steam ships belonging TO the new
West India mail line. These two steamers, the
Forth and Solway, started from Southampton, Eng.
land, on the 18th and 18th ut, with the Tweed and
Clyde. all bound to different points of the West India
islands ard the continent of America. The tive
first had already arrived, and the Forth daily
expected at New Orleans, and the editors of that
city appeared highly delighted with the "experi-
ment, as they call the enterprise of the steam ship
company.
1t appears by this that this country is the Of
a revolution in steam navigation. No one city, no
he section of the Union is hereafter to enjoy the
exclusive advantage of having steam ships stop
thereat. New York rolled the first ball, Boston the
next, and now New Orleans, Savannah and Charles
ton come in for dip.
This West India line of fourteen steamers will
take from New York aad Boston nearly every SOUTH
ern passenger, and all the letters from that part of
the country. This will be large slice off the
revenue heretofore received by Cunard, the Great
Western and British Queen. And when the French
and Belgian steanApackets commence running, their
revenue will be deere ,sed still more unless the ira
vel and communication increases much faster than
we expect it will. But in the course of few years
all will receive plenty Of patronage.
In this rapid extension of steam navigation, we
s,e results that will in short time, astonsh allchrs-
tendon. In few years the whole world will be
completely comprised by steam ships aud every
great commercial point be.brough together, almost
within speaking distance Of each other And even
now, by the line of West India steamers just started,
the inhabitants OF no less than fory-nlne important
sea ports on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gull of
Mexico, stretching from one extreme point TO ano-
Their, are enabled TO keep up a communication every
month. Heretofore i, has taken six months and
over to visit the same ports.
This is the power of steam Thus has time and
space been anRihiated

Theauicals in this city are in a miserable condi-
ton the poor theatrical people are all in sack
cloth and ashes. The Park is shut up for want Of
allment-and only opens for the Firemen's Ball
to-night-and for Dickens Ball by and by. The Olym.
PIC is doing tolerable-the Chatham best Of any
tho Bowery bad-and the Franklin is only on trial.
They talk Of building great theatre up Broad
way, under the patronage OF Hamblin. THIS is
mere talk-lt can't be done. Nothing can at present
revive theatrcas here but the advent of such artists
as Taelloni, Grisi, Rubin, and others That would
create an excitement beyond even Fanny Elssler

with two heads and ten horns.
