The Finale OF THE FARMERS AND MERCHANTS
BANK.-We learn that an injunction was serv-
ed on Friday last upon the present managers Of
this concern; restraining them from any fur
Their control over it, and placing its assets in
the hands ola receiver, Joseph H. Talbot, Esq.
The injunction was issued at the instance of
Mr.. Evan Rogers, of Philadelphia, who is said
to own or control many shares Of the stock
OF the Bank, and who came out here from
Philadelphia at the instance Of the eastern
stockholders, and who in conjunction with R.
|. Moore, ESQ. Of Nashville, recently spent a.
about q fortnight here in examining into the
condition and management Of the Bank.
The exact character and object of the bill Of
injunction we have not ascertained. But we
presume that it puts the Bank into liquida-
ton and winds it up finally and forever.
The silent and prompt manner in which the
management Of the Bank has thus been wres,
ted from the hands Of its managers after Mes
srs. Rogers g. Moore probed aud examined In
to their conduct, %evinces at least their decided
condemnation of it; and the allegations in the
bill we understand are not only numerous but
Of a most startling Standardization. Eagle

BANK ExclTEMENT.-There was a great gen.
eneral excitement and wonder among som in
our streets yesterday, relative to statements
currently afoat touching certain high-handed
and extraordinary acts of the President and
Directors of the Farmers and Merchants Bank
after the injunction ofthe Court had been serv-
cd on them Wrestling from their further keep
ing and management the affair and assets oil
the Bank. The facts as represented to us by
one who heard them from the lips ofthe CASH
Ter, are these:
That several hours after the writ Of iniunc.
ton had been served on the President and
Messrs. Looney, Cornell, and Mallbie, directors
they, with Mr.. Gaines, another director, hell
a meeting in the Bank and discounted each
others notes to an amount which cleaned tn,
vaults Of its money and enough of the note.

100000!
That they also discounted the President's-
Dr. Fowlke's notes to an amount sufficient tc
take up hebllls drawn by the several director.

bold iinanciering, then we give il it up. But
it is only the final "grand flourish" to the clos

q year, and of which we have often giver
leaves, chapters, acts and scenes. The publ,

The SECRET CIRcULAR-We ask our readers,
and more especially the true hearted friends OF
Gen. Taylor, to give a careful reading to the
secret circular Of Leslie Combs and other would
be leaders 0 fthe Wing party, who have ASSUME
ed to themselves 10 think and act for the whole
partyas we'll as Mr.. Clay. We also wish them to
bear in mindthat this circular bears date IN Oct,
that soon after Mr.. Clay was delivered Of his
great speech. The Wings have been too long
governed by this secret influence, either for the
good Of the country, or even the party.
We look upon il, that a man who first run
for the Presidency twenty-four years ago, and
was at last beaten by such a creeping thing as
James X Polk, never can be President Of the
United States. Why, then, should the wing
party, merely to show their good feelings to-
wards him, OF 70 crafty his ambition, subject
the country to another four years Of LocOfOcc
misrule, For one we are mot willing to do il,
and,go for sold zach' "with or without on

TAYLOR MEETING IN ALABAMA.-The Mont

ing held in that place on tho evening Of Tues
day last,
''The meeting held last night in the Court
House, for the purpose of putting in motion
the ball of the Peoples candidate, the hero Of
the Rio Grande, was the most satisfactory and
enthusiastic affair that it was ever our lot to
witness Thee oncourse was immense, and the
feeling Of an intense excited patriotism which
over-rode every emotion Of a party or selfish
nature. The preservation Of the country, the
constitution and the South, by the elevation OF
Gen. Taylor, wOs the common altar on which
distinguished politicians of all parties for the
well-being of their country, offered their cher
ised Prejudices. 1t was emphatically a Peoples
meeting and their united and fervid responses
to the sentiments of the resolutions showed
how deep was their feeling of love, reverence
and admiration, for the character Of their great
leader, and their trusting faith in his ability to
redeem the republic.n

The Government bad ID length interiored
with the Bank, and authorized it % extend its
accommodation, and though the announcement
At FIRST produced a favorable reaction, it was
soon found that the amount was so far short Of
the wants Of the public, and the terms on which
it was to be granted so Objectionable, that ev-
cry thing had again relapsed into the previous
state Of distrust and alarm.
The State Of Ireland was also one which
caused the most painful apprehensions, and a
winter with prospects even more frightful than
the last was rapidly advancing upon them.
The country still remains a prey to anarchy
and confusion, 50 that murders-cruol, hoZrij,
blood thirsty understanding to disgrace
the south and western provinces.
An address had been made to the Lord Lieu
tenant on the subject, who said that Govern
ment would interfere for the preservation Of.
life, but clearly intimating that something more
might be done by Ireland herselftowards afford
ing relief, than was effected last year.
Liverpool was oppressed by the great food
Of Irish poor that were constantly pouring in.
Nearly 10000 had been landed there during
the first three weeks Of October.
Scotland, il is feared, will also witness much
suffering and distress, in the approaching win
ter.
Sir Robert Peel's visit to Windsor had attrac-
ted considerable attention, and been the cause
Of much surmise, though the probability lie,
that it was only a country visit from him and
bis lady.
Considerable difference of opinion, it is said,
existed in the Cabinet,o on the subject of the
Ministerial recommendation to the bank, to ex-
tend their accommodation to the public. The
Chancellor Of the Exchequer was at first deci-
dedly opposed to it, but finally joined Lord
John Russell, who advocated it from the first.
1t was thought by some as a not unlikely
event, that Sir Robert Peel would Join the pres
ent administration, which would be a coalition
that would defy opposition. In that case, Sir
Robert or Lord John, would be raised to the
Peerage; and ono would thus lead in the Lords,
and the other in the House of Commons.
In Spain, there has been another Ministerial
change and Narvaoz is in power. The recon-
c%illation between the King and Queen, contin-
ues uninterrupted.
1t issaid France will join A %ustriu, in favor Of
the Catholic Cantohs of Switzerland. A civil
war in the latter country appears almost inevi-
table.
in Italy, the Pope is daily gaining popularity
The A %ustrians still hold Ferrara, and a skirm-
ish had ensued, in which 10 or 90 Austrians
and ~ltulians were wounded. The King Of Sar.
DINA appears to be backing out from his sup.
port Of the Pope and the Archbishop of Turin
had prohibited the clergy from offering the
usual prayers for his holiness.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
TRAGEDY AT NEWBURY.

Since our preceding page was made up
we have ascertained the following particulars
from an authentic source:
Feuds had long existed between the two
clans of laborers-the Cork men, and the
Connaught men, and on the night of the 2lst
inst.,n large party Of the latter assembled and
went in q body TO the shaniies of the Cork
MEN, threatening their lives and attempting
to break in upon chem. They were deferred
from doing SO by the fact t;et The Cork mon
had fire arms, hut on rctiring'they gave them
warning that in one week they would return,
and that blood should he shed.
On Monday, 22d-Keliy with Mr. Qunt,
the Sheriff, proceeded to arrest several of
tie rioters who were recognized by Kelly
the night before. They succeeded in arrest
ing three whom they took 10 the village at
Newbury and returned TO secure others
On entering a shanty at the south end of
ingalls, Hill. Kelly pointed TO a fellow Ivy the
name ofPatrick Gallagher, rs one named in
the warrant, and Sheriff Quint arrested him.
He followed the Sheriff out, when n gang of
some or 10 men, standing outside of the
shanty, commenced threatening Kelly and
the Sheriff, brandishing clubs and other
wenpons-one ofthcm having n gun, and an
other pistol. Kelly retreated backward, the
mob pushing upon him,when after advancing
some two rods he was shot through the neck
and instantly killed.
One ofthem then pursued the Sheriff with
a pistol, but was held back by comrade,
when the Sheriff mounted his horse and es-
capped.
The. body ofKelly was robbed ofhis wac.h
and his pistol and probably of his money.
The murderer remains unknown. Gala
Cher, with two or three others fled before n
force could be raised to arrest them and all
the inmates of the shanties refuse TO give any
which will lead to their detection.
Several arrests have been made, but the
clan all profess to be ignorant of any facts

the best adapted to promote the right in the
case under considerations
think every true philanthropist and such
as hold the doctrine that "whatsoever ye
would that men should do 10 you, do ye even
so TO theT," should and would if he had
right understanding Of the matter refuse TO
give voluntary support 10 such govern
nient as we live under, (unless he could act in
u without swearlngto support the constitu'
ton winch II is plain TO me every one yjrtu-
ally does, when he votes for another to fill m
office which he cannot hold without swear
ing TO do,) which is my determination to do
nj present, let the consequence be what il
may. Not that | would be understood to
charge those who do support the government
with corrupt motives. Men know by eXpe-
riencejudge of things much according to
what they have been for a long time taus!h!.
and the circumstances and influences by
which they have been surrounded, and il
takes much time and requires much consid-
crntion to break away from long established
habits and customs, however wrong and iniu-
rlous they may he. Our forefalhers in es-
tabllshng the government under which we
now live, very likely did what they thought
was best with the light they then had and I'M
der the circumstances in which they were
placed, but doubt whether they would have
done as they did had they foreseen the
consequences which have resulted from their
doings, and were az union about TO be estab-
lished now, under Ike present aspect of
