Tor the echo from England oil the news oil the
American money panic. So intimate nre the
relations Of the two countries that England
cannot fail to be very seriously affected by
the disasters in America. 1t will be about

received by the English but we have every
reason TO believe that it will be followed by
the suspension Of the Bank of England, which |
will naturally be succeeded by the suspension |
OF the Bank of France and all the continental |
banks.-Philadelphid Evening Bulletin.

PErPEN.--Pepper is an almost universal
oondmeht.' Black pepper irritates an in
flames the coatings Of the stomach; red pep.

! known to the Romans, and has been in use
in the East Indies from time immemorial, as
! il corrects the hatuence which attends the
! fatuleuce which attends the large use of We
getable food. Persons in health do rot need
any pepper in their food. But TO those Of
weak and languid stomachs it is manifold
more beautiful to use Cayenne pepper at

that can be named, because it stimulates
