CASHIER OF THE FARMERS BANK.


After considerable delay, and keeping
number Of expectanis on the rack for number
Of days, the vacancy in the Casbiership OF
the Farmers Bank, occasioned by the death OF
the late John n. Cook, was Yesterday filled
Mr.. JOHN ADAMS SMITH was elected to the
office. This appointment is one which will, we
are sure, be generally approved. Mr. SMITH
had, for very many years, discharged the du-
ties of Assistant Cashier in the Bank, in which
situation he also discharged the duties of the
Cashier for a considerable portion Of the last
five or six years, owing to the condition Of the
health Of the two gentlemen who last filed the
office. His experience has thus given him a
perfect familiarity with the duties of the fespon
siblc station.
We make no doubt but that Mr.. SMITH will
acqut himself to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. His appointment, too, is ase of the
recognition of the claims of the officers of tie
institution to promotion. This is the recogni-
ton of very important principle destroy
the hope Of promotion, and you take away one
of the strongest incentives to the efficient and
jealous discharge Of official duties. We are
a little gratifed, also, at the appointment of
Mr.. SMITH, because in the honor conferred on
him, there is paid kind of tribute to fami-
ly of the olden time on which devolved the re-
sponsblities and trusts of the State in days
gone by.

AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT

FRANCE, ENGLAND AND BELGIUM-The Paris
correspondent of the London Mercantile Gazette
notices a remarkable and singularly significant
change in the tone of Napoleons official organ, The
Moniteur, upon the question of wal with England
For time past, the Elyseean oracls has talked
constantly of collision between the two countries
as an improbable event, but an event nevertheless.
which 'the calumnies inserted by theI foreign co,
respondents of English newspapers, and their au.
dacious falsehoods, might one day ptecipita.e. But
of late the tune has changed. What was all war be-
fore is peace now and the "Moniteur" announces
to the world that Louis Napoleon thinks of nothing
but the internal improvements of France. and
yearns to promote peace and good will between
nations. This change of language Says the Ga
zette is too remarkable to be without some strong
cause and that is said to be embodied in the
facts, authenticity stated, as follows
Within the last few days dispatch has been
communicated to the French government from the
government OF Great Britain to the effect that in
the event of a single French soldier entering the
Belgian territory the city of Antwerp with its cta
del and the forts on the Schedt would at once he
occupied by an English army of 10, 900 men 1t has
been at the same time announced that the English
occupation would be accomplished with the ey
press sanction and concurrence of all the great
powers of Europe, inc,udi"g Russia. 1t appears
that the Russian government, giving its Consent
TO this important measure made it a special condi.
ton that King Leopold should at once dismiss all
the Polish officers inhs sery;ce-a condition which
was at once complied with.
This is certsuly substantial reason for the pro-
clamation of pacific professions in the Moniteur
Commenting upon the above pieces of news the
Gazette remarks:
at is to be hoped that the lesson afforded by tho
events of the last few weeks will not be thrown
away upon the people of England As long a Eng
land was passive and unprepared, the danger to tile
peace of Europe was imminent. As soon as she
showed that she was preparing to meet the danger
that she was buekling on her arrnour-the danger
itself disappeared. Let England, however, not re-
lax in her vigilance, for she has dangerous enemy
to deal with-one VINO not only considers himself
bound to restore the French empire to its former
extent and power, but one who thinks himself ca
pable of doing Let her remember, too that
Louis Napoleon is man Of fixed ideas. He post
pones but never abandens his projects however
hopeless they may appear for the moment His
pacific professions are good for to-day but beware
of putting too much faith in them, respects the
future. At present Euprope is coalesced against
Imperial ideas; but Louis Napoleon 'bides his
time;'' and the first appearance OF disunon among
the great powers will be signal for storm which
win strike more than one kingdom out of the map
Of Europe"

THE GAS WORKS.

We are delighted to hear that the result Of
the years operations is most satisfactory. The
most sanguine advocates of lighting the city
are more than sustained II their predictions
are surpassed. The works commenced serving
the city with light twelve months since with
si1ty private burners--there are now about sic
hundred! The revenue from gas, besides
paying expenses of operations, (some of which
were extraordinary will yield clear profit Of
Jour per cent. on the capital invested! This,
too, does not include the expenses of the pub
lie lamps. The city gets the benefit of its ex-
tensive lights and four per cent. besides, the
first year.
With such result the first year, when the
works only started with SIXTY consumers, what
must il be the second year which commences
with sir hundred? In view of these facts,
ought not the charges for gas to be reduced!
Is it right that the consumers should pay for
their gas and for all that is used in lighting the
city from Rockets to Bacon's Quarter? Most
assuredly not. We are clear for putting down
the city as q consumer, and then making the
charges for the public lamps and the private
consumption what would be sufficient for six
per cent. interest, and reasonable sinking
fund. We trust the Common Hall will take
the subject under consideration. When they
do so, let them remember that reasonable re-
duction will increase the consumption still
more ranidly

Kunkel sang with his usual power and fcrvency.-
The singuiary pure and soothing tones of Hill
shaded as heretofore, with magic softness, the sim
pie ballads he sung, while the pleasing voicenotes
of Burgess were uttered with an earnestness and
evenness of cadence far superior to those of pre-
vious performances The burlesque Shaksperian
readings were given with considerable spirit The
"Black Barber" with his two foot razor, curry
comb and blacksmith's shears, convuised the au
dience with laughter; his "body guard" in grey
uniform, and with a strong hankering after s'long
nines," adding greatly to the humor of the piece
We can only say, that this band to be appreciated,
