o. The Foreign News by the Baltic must De re-
garded as unfavorabe. The advance on Bank rates
is but another step in the progressive strlngency IN
the money market; its object being TO protect the
Bank of England against too heavy drain OF Its
specie OF course the Bank of France follows suit
This pressure is attributed to several causes, the I'M
mediate one being the disappearance OF specie In
France the small capitalists getting frightened
and converting all their paper money into specie ana
hiding it. Much coin has TO be sent out to the east
whence it returns very slowIy-some of it never.
1t is further said tina: large amounts of gold have
passed through Germany for Russia on account OF a
Russian loan of S25 O0O 900 taken by Dutch. house
In few words-the specie of western Europe is
passing by the operations of the war from the centres
of trade and the main channels of circulation to an
extreme distance from the first, and where the last
are small and sluggish, so that the greater portion
must be locked up and lost from present use This
combined with the bad food crop in Europe, must
make tight money market, and render suspension OF
specie payments imminent. AS we remarked in a
previous article about week SINCE it will be dth-
cult if the thing continues long, for our banks to re-
sist the pressure

WEALTH OF THE RoTHsCHILDs.-An article ~ 60
inc The rounds of the press stating that the whole
concern of the Rothschilds is worth $700,0OO0 600 in
money capital, besides $300,0O0,000 more in real
estate mines, &c. So far from this being the fact,
the National Tntelgencer understands that the gen.
eral estimate in Europe rs to the aggregate wealth
of the whole concern is $500 100000 francs, or
about $4,000 O0o.-Erchamge Paper.
We don't believe either of the accounts or state
ments, but it would appear to US that the largest
must be nearest to the truth, for the simple reason
that the concern known as the House of Rothschid,
comprises several very heavy establishmentsin Lon"
don, Paris, Frankfort and elsewhere; and although
forty millions of dollars is an immense amount OF
money still for extensive joint stock affair II Is
not so very great, would its possession bestow

enjoyed There single individuals In England

was worth some thirty millions of dollars, In our

History OF Know NorhIngs.

In the Revolution they were Tories,
and took sides with the British and
Indians.
In the days of the elder Adams they
were Federalists, and advocated the
Allies and Sedition Laws.
In 1881, they sustained the Bank o.
the United States in its attempt TO con-
troll our National Government.
In 1898 they sustained the State
Banks in attempting to stop the wheels
OF Government by general suiPen-
sion oil specie payment.
In 1888, in New Jersey, they at
tempted to obtain a majority in Con-
gress, by substituting the broad seal oil
the Governor tor legal election returns
In 1880 they were anii-Mason'.
In l84S, they attempted 10 overthrow
the people of Pennsylvania by destroy
| ing the baIlot-boxes, making false re-
turns, and endeavoring to force men H.
legally elected into the Legislature, by
calling out armed troops and surround
ing the capitol. In 1910 their ban
ners were coon.skins--their beverage
hard cider--their emblems log-cabins
and their principles lies and SANDER
by which they gained power--and then

surprising richness and beauty; fertile

ever, did not treat them uD.riendIy.--
men all range from 6 to Ct feet in height

straight as an arrow. The women
were among the most perfect models o.
beauty ever formed, averaging five fee
nigh, very plump, with small feet ant

writer adds:
Their teachers of religion speak tn,

GOOD! GLORIOUS!

A private letter gives an account o
the trouble in Krdjova, ,already announc
ed by telegraph.
An Austrian officer, on Tire llth o
March, saw at a window lady who's,
beauty attracted him, and he Ior'hwlIi
entered the house aud demanded ad
mittance TO her apartment. The lady
called ior assistance to exPel the lntru
der. Her husband came and address
sed the Austrian but too ciyiIly: "Wha
do you want here? | do not know you
You are not biIleled in my house, and
the lady you are insulting is my vile.
Without a word the Austrian drew hi
sword and stabbed the husband to the
heart. Much excitement ensued. Some
OF tie bystanders went TO lodge a form
al complaint with tie polce-other'
sent intelligence TO the Turkish com
mandant at Kalafat, who lost no time
in sending to Krajova a battalion o.
inaatry and squadron OF cavalry anc
artillery. A crowd proceeded TO the
Austrian General 10 1emand the arrest
OF the offender. The Generals reply
was briel, but to the point: $50 to the
Devil; wont punish my soldiers Tor
such fellows as youp' This brutal re
ply reused the indignation OF the peo,
pie. Al the stores were closed. and
the citizens assembled in the streets
crying "Death to the Austrians they
are but one against iour we wont sub
NIT 10 be slaughtered like the people
OF Bucharest !"
A general riot ensued, and the ci'l.
zens, armed with sticks, iron bars, and
axes, attacked and put TO death every
Austrian they met. The AuStrlans,
on their side, TUNED out anc attacked
the people, killing 40 persons in the
first charge. At this junclure the ma
tionaI gems darmes and the Roman
soldiers attacked the Austrians, and al
ter fierce fight drove them, at the
point OF the bayonet, out Of the city,
where they yet remain enclmPed in
the fields. Official statements return
247 killed, on both sides. The Ex-
citement continues, and the citizens
have not re- >opened their stores. They
demand justice, and are about to send
a deputaiion to ConslantinoPe, to seek
il from the Sutton.

ting on the new metal recently aunoun-

fuctured cheaply from that article, aud
is apparently destined at no distant day
10 supplant copper, iron, trass and tia
in many il not oil manufactures. The
qualities Of this metal, producibe from
so cheap and eXcessible . raw material,
are stated to be the lightness of glass,
the whiIeness and brilliancy Of water,
malleabiity and ductiIity nearly equal
to those Of the precious metals, the lie,

Of form Exchange
This is certainly important if true -
The world is filled with such rapid
succession OF discoveries that one is
scarcely announced until another still
more startling is made TO occupy public
attention But all these discoveries
only add TO the number of scientific de
velopments. without any immediate sd
vantage TO the public unless they bring
the dimes with them. If this newly
discovered material in potter's clay is

would supplant, then it will be of grea!
value, but if not, it is Of no practical
importance Statesman.
