ANOTHER SIIm OF EUROPEAN HIsroRY.-
During the course Of the past week we fur
nished our readers with very interesting his
torical, social. and political description of Ice
land. given in q lecture delivered before the
Historical Society Of this city, by Mr.. Pliny
Miles. To-day we present to them what we have
no doubt will prove to be an equally interesting
and attractive chapter on the principality Of
Wales about which just as little is known in this
country as about the boreal regions Of Iceland.
Since the famous old English monarch known
by the sou6riquet Of Long Shanks took such
summary and effective measures to extirpate
the poets and harpers Of the principality, that
region has presented very few matters Of any
attraction to historians; and in this country. at
least very little is known about it, further than
that the eldest son of the English monarch is.

within its limits there is such q place as the

RETROSPECT OF FORMER ADMINISTRATIONS
The retrospect of the Presidents and their Cabi
nets, from the organization of the national GO
vernment, in 1899, to the present time, which
we give in another part of to-day's HERALD
will be examined with interest by politicians
and inquirers for this kind Of information. In
the lists of members of Cabinets appointed by
the early Presidents will be found some names
now almost forgotten. but which were conspicu-
Gus in the times in which they fourished. This
retrospect embraces period Of sixty-fonr years,
and contains notices OF eleven administrations
Of various characters, but mostly democratic
for the last half century. II is our aim in
giving "reminiscences Of The past, to make the
columns Of the HERALD useful and instructive
to the numerous strangers Of foreign birth
among NJ. as well as TO those classes of Amcri-
cans not familiar with the details Of our political
history. The sketches Of administrations form
al appropriate sequel to the notices Of Senators
and The Cabinet which VIC have recently given

THE WALL STREET PANIc.-There was not so
much excitement in the street to-day, but there
was great deal Of shining among bull stock
spectators. The money market is steadily
tightening and we must expect up hill work
for several weeks. As soon as the importers
commence RENTING heavily. shipments of
specie will rapidly increase. Payments into
the Custom House for some time past have been
very large. and the importers have had as much
as they could do to pay duties. AS soon as that
demand eases up a little, remittances abroad
will commence; and then look out for tight
times. What we have already experienced will
be nothing compared with what is coming All
who wish to pass through the storm unscathed
must take in sail, get every thing snug, see that
everything below and aloft is tight and taut.
and then let it blow. We shall have pretty diff
fcult navigation for some time to come--quick-
sands and shoals beset us upon all sides--and it
will require all the skill and experience of those
in command to carry us safe through.
