graphic account Of the burning Of scryeins.-

a kidnapper; he was theologian and minister,
the colleague and instrument and creature of
Calvin, and that hard theology had eaten the
heart out of the man. When the clock struck

nearly over.
The weekly Bank Statement shows q gain OF
specie of nearly a million dollars over the pre-
vous week. The amount of specie now held by
the city banks is larger than it has been for u
long time, and is nearly three millions more
than in August last, when the weekly state
ments commenced.
The receipts Of gold from the interior con-
tinuc large One Express firm alone delivered
last week $751; e0 in gold, and S3l 600 in sill

The foreign shipments Of specie continue to
be heavy, but no uncasness is caused from the
fact that our receipts from California and else
where are in excess Of the export.
There is a good deal of activity in the incur
rent money market. and rates of some descrip-
tons are higher. The amounts coming in for
redemption are large. but the banks, as gene
raj thing. keep their accounts here good, and
no difficulty is caused in re-issuing. Country
banks will be much easier next month than they
are now.
Land Warrants are in demand, and prices
