UNPARALLELED ATRocITY.-It is stated in an
English paper, the Stamford Mercury, on the authori
ty of a letter from private, John Lum, dated the
9Th of March, giving account Of the battles last
December, on the banks of the Sutlei, that on the
morning succeeding the battle of the 20th the
British soldiers commenced hanging all The prison
ers ,chich dreadful pork occupied nearly the chole
Of he ddyN This is unparalleled atrocity,
exccng far the shocking barbarity Of the French
in AIgiers and if true. as the Philadelphia Ledger
observes, must stamp with indelible infamy the
names of those who authorized IT, II is not the only
outrage upon humanity committed during the Sick
war. Every reader will remember the cool barbarity
with which il was announced that the British artie-
ry posted itself upon the banks Of the river which the
routed Seks in their flight had to cross and there shot
them down in thousands as they attempted to swim
the stream whose waters became red with the blood OF
the victims so inhumanly slaughtered. The conduct
of our own troops in the battles the Rio Grande,
will contrast proudly for its humanity and forbear-
towards the unfortunate oe with these accounts
Of The British troops, given in their own journals.
Yet the English journals call US but half civilized

A Sentiment Of Lord John Russell.

The present prime minister of England addressed
his constituents, the Sh ult, upon his reelection
and told them plainly In aiusion to the corn laws,
that the legislature is incapable Of directing the in.
dustry of the people,"
cit is not, he said some choose TO represent it,
a new-fangled system, and strange and fanciful
theory; 1t is nothing more than saying, humbly and
modestly, there are questions of Legislation which
we competent TO decide; hut TO directing the
industry of the country, Of dveriing the markets of
the country and Of telling the people how they shall
employ their labor, when they shall buy, and at what
time they shaif>sefs is subject upon which the
Legislature can do nothing cheers, and upon which
the wises House Of Lords the most yiruous House
of Commons that existed, cannot lcgiSate as
well the butcher, the farmer, and the artisan, in
their own markets, and in their own shops Loud
cheers"
If this great principle is suitable to so old
archy England it is still adapted to the genius
Of free, young, enterprisng and inventive Peo
pie, owning such vast quantities Of vacant territory,
and Astounding with such a variety of climates, soils,
and interests.

BANK SUsrENsIoNs.-As to general suspension Of
specie payments, says the N. Y. Journal Of Com
merce we do not think there is any good ground to
expect that such disaster will again in
this country. The banking system is now too free,
too much beyond any control. The banks stand more
than formerly each upon its own basis and response
bility General bank suspensions are the effect Of
bank regulation. If banking left free, the banks
would no more suspend all at once and by concert,
than the merchants, and bank that did not pay in
coin would no more do business and have credit than
merchant who did not pay his notes. Until there
fore we have another great national regulator, (and
we humbly trust that day will never Gomez some
thing else by which the banks brought under some
great controlling central system, we cannot have a
general suspension. The tendency Of public scnti-
ment wIiha, is towards further liberty, and so to-
wards greater safety
