THE END OF ISLAM.

In the midst Of enxiety caused by the news Of
the war in India and speculation in regard to the
movements of European magnates, it is probab' 9
that one exceedingly important occurrence has
been overlooked. The green coat of Mahomet
which is the sacred banner CT Islam, has disap-
peared from COnstantinope. This article is beIiev
ed, by every true Mahomedan, to have been wove
in heaven, and brought to The Arabian prophet by
the Angel Gabriel; and it il also an article of
belief that when the course of Islam is TO termin
ate on earth, the angel will again descend and
carry the coat away TO the realm of bliss. This
banner has always been looked upon as the sacred
emblem which gave assurance of the truth of
Mahomets mission. IL has been guarded for cen
ruries with the unsleeping vigilance of fanaticsm
in a particular mosque of CunstantinOple. Last
spring, report was circulated that the coat had
suddenly disappeared, but the Christian mission
aries put no filth in the story. All doubt however
has since been dspelled, as we are informed by
Rev DR.. Shauher, who was a missionary at Con
stan'inople for twenty five years, and has just
arrived in this country. Some of the missionaries
suppose hat The relic has been secretly removed by
bgoted Mahomedans, who are satisfied that the
capital of Turkey is fast loosng its character as
sacred city-that is to say, becoming Christianized
ana that they will convey the coat another local
ty where their false faith appear to be strong
ly entrenched. Yet the general belief of the
followers Of Islam is that the garment has vanished
supernaturally, and that the occurrence is signif
of the close of their peculiar religious mission
among men. 1t has long been known, that the in
erpretaiious of sacred volumes of this faith point
to the present age that which is to witness this
consummatiOn. The eye ofthese isscarcely need
ed to see the Inevitable tendency of things in
TurBey and in all other countries where Christian
ty has had an opportunity of fair combat with
Mahomedanism. 1t is well that the Turks are
satisfied Of the destruction their false creed and
make no serious opposition to what they look upon
the decree Of destiny. The cOnquering fanati-
cism, cruelty despOtc dominion, and gorgeous
pageantIy which the Arabian camel driver let loose
upon the earth is melting away like gittering
dream, q splendid mirage of his own desert, be-
fore she purer influence of the Christian creed and
a higher civiliztion.-PhiLa EUs. Jour.

THE LOCALIZED SUSPENSION IN PEYYsYL-

THE LEGALlLED SUSPENSlON IN PENNS1L-
WANNA.
The bill which passed the recent Pennsylvania
Legislature legalising the suspension OF the banks
Of that State required them to resume specie pay
ment on the second Monday of April next.
Section 4, authorizes the collectors of taxes and
tolls &c. and the country treasurers receive for
State purposes the notes of solvent banks though not
specie paying
Section reserves the right of the legislature to
alter revoke or annul the charter of any bank ac-
ceptng the provisions of this act whenever, in their
opinion the may prove injurious to the citizens
ofIbe Commonwealth.
Section 10. prohibits banks and savings institu-
tiOns from purchasing the notes Of other incorpora
ted banks at less than par.
Section IL, prohibits the sale Of stocks, bonds,
promissory notes and other securities that have been
hypothecated from being sold for period of six
months without the consent Of the debtor being first
had.
The time allowed for their resumption is not
long the banks and their borrowers desired but
thought as long as the innocent note-holders
should be cheated of their rights When the Phila-
delpha banks resume there Will be further excuse
for the suspension OF the banks in Tennessee except
such should 60 into bankruptcy at once.
IMPORTANT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Besides the state and county officers to have been
chosen in he recent Pennsylvania election, there
were four amendments to the constitution ofthe Slate
to be voted upon One limits the State in he amount
of debt may contract to S75OOOO except to repel
invasion OF to repress domestic insureclIon and
also prohiblts the lending of the credit Of he COM
monwealth auy individual or corporation, and the
commonwealth from becoming joint owner or
stOckholder in any association or corporation. An
other gives power to the legislature to alter revoke
sunul any charter OF incorporation wheneverit is
deemed injurious to the clzens.
We have not learned whether these amendments
were adopted or not. They were supposed to be
very popular with the people.
