after. Their very existence, sevsrrshoula the
catastrophe be reservedsfOr afafara4 eeRsratio0,
checks public confidence. and neoessitates an.
expenditure for military pirposes which few
governments can afford. Nor does the condi-
ton of Great Britain operate to reassure us.
A rise in the value Of money from two to
three and q half per cent in five months is a
fact Of immense significance. 1t is very edify-
ing to talk of exchequer bonds which cannot be
renewed, q momentary pressure on the bank,
increased necessities of the government, &c.
&C., but any one can see how far these
reasons are from the truth. If they had
really occasioned the late unexpected rise
of half per cent in the bank rate of dis
counts, money would not have been selling
at three and a quarter and three and q half in
satisfactory explanation of the occurrence is to
be found in the exports of bullion from Eng
land to foreign countries. and the enormous
and increasing foreign loans. If the bank has
lost four and a half millions Of specie in twelve
months, private individuals have not lost less
America to China, from Egypt to France, is
filled with British coin. Herein lies the danger
for England. A war would place the creditors
in a very unpleasant position. A continuance
of the system even without a war will drain the
British Golfers, until a recall of funds becomes
imperative. Already speculation is rife on the
prospect of further increase Of half per cent in
the bank rate of discount, and we may yet see
the minimum fixed at five per cent,
That occurrence would produce what is COM
monty called a commercial crisis. Let it occur
when there has been much overtrading-when
-four or cotton have looked SO promising as to
induce large shipments from hence at high
prices-and the crisis would become a disaster.
Failures. suspensions, and general embarrass-
ment would ensue.
The question which this view naturally sug-
gests is: what can we do to shield ourselves
from the consequences of any such calamity?
The query is more easily put than answered.
We shall, however. be safe in recommending a
j~udicious moderation in our foreign exports. 1t
will be well likewise to hold ourselves in readi-
ness to meet any sudden demands which a
tightness of the foreign money market might
make on our funds. The condition Of the banks
in many of the States is susceptible of improve
ment. Congress. if it has the constitutional
power, would act wisely in subjecting all the
banks throughout the Union to a general or
ganization. SO as to guard against failures, and
ensure the safety of bill-holders. The extension
Of the free banking system, on a stock basis to
the whole country, would attain the desired end.
With these, and such other precautions as ordi-
nary prudence will suggest. we may await
future events with tolerable composure.

We elsewhere publish a detailed account Of the
accident to the New York and Boston train last
Thursday, from which it appears that, although
only one person was killed, a greater number were
injured than was at first reported. So far as we
have been able to ascertain, the only passenger
from this city who was seriously hurt, was Mr.. Il. L.
Moore, whose ankle was dislocated. The switch
man is said to have acknowledged that no one but
himself was to blame for the awful occurrence.
A new steam propeller, called the Challenge, on
her first trip out from Chicago, exploded her boiler
on Wednesday morning, killing five Of the crew,
and seriously injuring three others. The vessel sunk
within five minutes after the accident, her stern hav-

with the remainder of the crew, escaped in the
small boats, and were subsequently picked up by a
schooner.

Sad complaints are made by the Newfoundland
papers with regard to the harsh treatment some of
the colonial fishermen experienced at the hands of
those on board the French cruiser, who found them
infringing upon the rights of the French fishermen.
The colonists were compelled to put to sea in a bur-
ry, leaving their nets and fish behind them. In reply
to their remonstrances the commander of the cruiser
coolly informed them that this was a mere reciprocal
ton of the c~ourtesies extended to Frenchmen by the
British government.

Nor QUITE READY.-The land of pumpkin
pies, pretty girls, and steady habits-the good
old blue law State of Connecticut-is not quite
ready yet for the Maine liquor law. They have
been talking over it for some time, and they

for Connecticut. They have, accordingly in

the towns and cities the power to license.

RATHER A LARGE FIGuRE.-Our readers will
perceive from the brief account which we pub
fish from an English paper, of a late meeting in
London for the relief of fugitive slaves in Ca
NADIA, that the Rev. Mr.. Ward, delegate from
Canada, puts Down the number of fugitive slaves
escaping from the United States into the Cana
dian territories at three thousand a year! This
is rather a large figure for a reverend gentle
man, we should suppose. We had no idea that
our underground railroads were doing such a
thriving business. Can the reverend gentleman
furnish any satisfactory evidence ofthis fugitive
escapade Of three thousand a year? Or was his
estimate merely intended for English consump-
ton? In any event, let Mr.. Ward keep it up.
John Bull is just in the humor to be feeced for
the relief Of our fugitive slaves. Why not make
it five thousand?

AClan of Robbers In Indiana,

A correspondent from Hopo Ind, under
date of July 81. gives us some account of the
capture OF Daniel Ricketts,, who is lodged in
Greensburgh lind. Jail. He is charged with
being tho ring leader of band of murderers.
A Mr. Stark was robbed, and from combi-
nation Of circumstances, suspicion rested up
on Dr. Henry Smally, and student in his
office, but they had borne unblemished reputa
tions in the community, and It was not be-
lieved they could be guilty. The doctor was
u leading member of tho Methodist church.
Son of Temperance, &c., and it was consider
ed treason" almost to suspect him of a mean
transaction.
However, tho people persisted in their belief
and hunted up the doctor and his student
Harrison, the student, was found at 1ndianap-
oils, and taken back to Milford Ind, and tried:
lIo there turned States evidence. He said ho
had belonged to the clan about four months;
that no knew the names Of nineteen or twenty
OF the clan; that, being new member, he was
not fully entrusted with their secrets. Ho said
that DIR. Smolly had fled to Iowa. The au-
thorities are now in pursuit of him.
lie also informed them that Daniel Ricketts,.
in company with Smolly, robbed Mr.. Dronbe :
ger ofhis money. Ricketts, ran off with the
money to Harrison, and he took it to DIR. Stog-
dell, at Monrovia, in Morgan Co., Ind, who

Smolly had many communications among
his papers that divuged their secrets. These
papers are now in the hands of proper officers.
