We do not put the most perfect reliance in
the figures of the Herald, but suppose that
the above cannot be far wrong. There must
therefore be great deal Of suffering among
these people in New York. Measures are
adopted and in preparation, by benevolent
funds, soup houses, &C., to aid them.
There are loud complaints in all the North
ern cities-and much suffering for want of
employment. In Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and Boston, this is the case; and all the small
er cities and towns, where there is any manu-
featuring, the situation of large portion of
the operatives is represented as pitiable.-
The New Haven Palladium gives the follow
ing anecdote to illustrate the state of things
in that city:
lady passing two men in the street few days
ago. heard one OF them say, II can get no work;
have nothing left but to beg!" "Beg" said the
other. never will beg. while can steal"

Roman Catholic priest, delivered severe philippe
against the young Ireland Party" MITCHELL
Mesgher & Coz denouncing their aspirations for
liberty, and all that as only manifestation of the
worst sort of Jacobnsm. The friends of the gen

selves rather earnestly in regard to the matter,
and the prospect is on all hands in favor of the
quarrel continuing.

offensive, and should you appear amongst US we
will not consider ourselves responsible for the
consequences.

The 500 Illegally Eypothecated
 State Bonds Again.

Among the multiplicity of writers and ed- tors now figuring ill the columns of the Gazette. 1t does seem strange to us that not one has ta- ken up the defense of Danlcy's master Vim. F. Woodruff, in the matter of his connection with the illegal sale and hypothecation of 800 bonds of the State to the North American Trust and Banking Company. What has Danley himself been doing the past week that he has not done so? Has Woodruff ordered him to let that subject sleep-to let it rest, as nothing can be said that would clear up the mystery of his brief mission into the inner sanctuary of the Real Estate Bank?
 Why does the Gazette not give a reason for its silence? The public are becoming inouisi- tive upon the subject. They have seen, by a vote of the Board of Directors of the Bank. R. D. c. Collins tumbed from the Presiden- tial chair. They have seen by another vote, Vim. E. Woodruff inauguratcd in his place. They have seen the immediate and hastv steps then taken to dispose of the 500 bonds issued to the R. E. Bank by the State They have seen the authority and instructions to the agent appointed to consummate the fraud. They have seen the fraud consummated, and now know that though only $122,OOOwere obtained. 800 State bonds with interest on them, amount ing at this day, to Me sum cf nearly million ot dollars were given in exchange.
 They have also seen, that as soon as this cost ly financial arrangement was effected, Wm E. WoodrW relnquished the honors and emolu- ments ,f the Presidential chair of the Bank and retired to private life. The job for which he was employed was completed, and we presume the price paid and thus ended his mission into the Bank
 The public have seen these things, but they have had no "peep behind the scenes." They now look for Danley to lift the curtain-he has thrust himself forward as the peoples champion and comes to them recommended by Wm z. Woodruf as man of respectable talents.''- This, too IS dirty case and suitable to the geni- us of the editor of the Gazette-ought we not to expect from him some rich and racv disclo sures?
 The editor of the Gazette seems to have been considerably angered because the Cover nor made S2 54 for the State-and also effected an exchange of coupons, drawing no interest, for bonds running at 5 and 6 per cent interest. Does this not seem to afford clue to his strange silence upon the hypothecated bonds? Is it not reckless disregard of the State? The co., 'hange that President Woolruf made was the giving of 500 State bonds (with interest now making million of dollars) in violation of positive law, for the sum of $122OOO! that is, the Bank got l22,OOO dollars and the State was

The Soule Difficulty.

The Charleston Courier received this morn. ing, contains very full and interesting state. ments respecting the difficulty between Mr.. Soule and the French government.
 First comes letter dated London, Oct 27, giving highly interesting details It embraces an account of the refusal of the police at Calais to allow MT. Soule to pass through France: MT. Soule's return to London; Mr. Mason's inter- view with the French Minister of Foreion Affairs, etc., etc. We copy the letter in full, as follows:
 The steamer of tomorrow will carry the start ling intelligence that his Excellency the Minis ter Of the United States of America at the Court of Madrid has been expelled from France. through which country he was returning to his post The simple narrative of such an event is. think, the best manner of letting you know the extent of the indignation felt here by every American, without distinction of party, and to be felt, no doubt, by all citizens of our inten- tionally nsulted Republic; so I give you the following details:
 Mr. Soule having spent two days in London. set out last Tuesday for Madrid, vso France On his arrival at Calias he was asked to show his passports, and having done so, was request ed to step into an inner room of the Bureau de Police. Here he was told that he must leave the country by the next steamer, and that he would not be allowed in the meanwhile to go anywhere out of Calais, being, in fact, placed under sur vellance.
 "There must be mistake, sir" said our Min lster; do you know what 1 am?''
 "There is not the slightest mistake, sir" was the reply; "you are MT. Soule, the Ambassa- dor of the United States of America to the Court of Spain, and have orders not to let vou pass"
 "Where are your orders, sir?" asked Mir. Soule.
 "This is no business of yours, sir; these orders are tor me- and am acting upon them," said the Commissary.
 This happened at Calais Something more was said, but of no public concern. MT. Soule left by the next steamer, and reached London late in the evening day before yesterday. The news being made known in American circles. the greatest excitement prevailed, and, as many be imagined, measures of all sorts were sug gested amidst great indignation.
 The Legation partook, of course, of the geue- ral excitement. have not had the honor of seeing Mir. Buchanan since his return, but from all hear, he maintained throughout this irritat- ing affair dignifed resolution to concur in every step to require due apologies for an insult against our national honor. The whole morning ves- terday was spent in consultation, the result of which was the decision to send over MT. Sick]es,

1nlS steamer arrived at Halifax Nov. 23d. The following is the most important part of her news:
 The Crimea.-Seige of SebastOpOl. According to reports brought by the Canada, the affair at Balaklava, on the 25th ult. was se- riously disastrous to the Allies. Not fewer than 1000 of the English troops alone fell on the occasion. In fact, they are said to have been, together with the Turkish troops, almost anni- Inflated.
 The Russian accounts say that Sebastopol held out well, and that the works, as vet, have been but slightly damaged; while the French themselves admit that the long range of the Russian guns prevented the faster movements of the Allies.
 The English, however, say that the town was in ruins and that there were 12, GOO dead within the walls
 The English on the War.
 The people of England are beginning to grow very much dissatisfied at the tardness with which the seige of Sebastopol is being pros- ecuted, and at the general conduct of affairs in the Crmea.

The Resignation of Senator Keith

, lnasmuch as a noise has been made about this resignation, we propose to give plain synopsis of the case.
 MT. Keith sent the resignation of his seat to the Governor and the Governor issued writ of election to fill the vacancy ',The following morning after the resignation, Mir. Keith claim ed his seat, and did so upon the ground that his resignation was illegal
 The Governor sent to the Senate a message informing 1t of his action and his reasons for such action. This message and other papers we shall publish next week. The Senate de- clared there was no vacancy, but still the cleo ton for Senator in Jackson, White and Conway goes on. The Governor has no power to recall a writ once issued, and when the newly elected Senator comes down the matter will have to undergo another investigation.
 In addition, Senator Chapman resigned under the same circumstances as those of Mir. Keith The newly elected Senator from Independence and lzard will be applying in a few days for a seat. The whole matter will then come un for discussion and we doubt not the Senate will act with wisdom and promptitude in the matter
 The Gazette condemns the Governor in its usual backguard style as dupe and a foo- The Senate and the Senator, Mr. Keith, acquits his Excellency in high terms of praise Such IS the dlfterence-and that difference is doublv an honor to the Governor. His acquital of all improper motives by the Senate, and his con- demnatlon by the Gazette, are alike honorable to him.

committed suicide early yesterday mornnp T, seems that about five minutes before 2 o,cloo. he walked deliberately upon the track wboS' the locomotive and tender were coming bool. ward to him, and when they came within fs teen or twenty yards of him, he laid his baa, down just inside the rail. The steam that nau ,~' just then let of, prevented the engineer froaS aS seeing any thing on the road, and he was Um Ull aware of Mir. Gedge's position until the torI Lo' struck him and at once cut his head froer froe his body. No blame is attached to the ani a,on neer, as he stopped the locomotive and tenTI whenever he found there was somethino Ier nnJS the wheels. The deceased was man aer abae fifty years of age, and was man of mucb ,ro'u ou5 and honor. He leaves a wife and three cbiI Su ren, two or whom are married, to mourn hi, rash oct. The verdict of the jury was in ao ' cordance with the facts. The suicide was corS
 mitted on Washington street between E~ht and Ninth streets, Covington, and was witneSsoI i
 by number of persons. 'u
 MT. Gedge was one of the most inAnor.;., citizens of Covington, where he has resided faI a' more than twenty years. He was at the boaI of the Gedge & Brothers firm, one of the moS. extensive tobacco houses in the West: ha ,roS Director in the Covington railroad comnan1, and also Director in the Northern Bank of Ken lucky. He had amassed large fortune. and stood fair as a business man and a citizen, H. was charitable, and the poor of Covington iU his death, have lost a valued friend. Fyorr class of people lament his demise, and are com. pletely astounded with the intelligence.
 Many surmises as to the cause of the act if val untary, are made; but the most probable is that the present financial crisis has given him mucb uneasiness, and, perhaps, S5O,OOO of the Gov. ington and Lexington R. R. bonds having been protested within few days past, in New York may be the immediate cause.-Cn Col,snbian

The Suicide of MT. Gedge, of CovingtOn

 No class of suicides arc more painfully affect ing than those induced by pecuniary embar- rassments. When untorseen losses and pres sing claims, with visions of blighted honor and prospective domestic penury so excite the brain that it becomes unbalanced and rashly accepts suicide as relief ffom its own reflections it is so sad a case that even those who suffer by the contingent bankruptcy must pity the soul so tortured. This was cur reflection on hearing yesterday that Frederick G.
