The Revival of the African Slave Trade.

The New York Times argues with no little still professing not to favor the project of the revival of the African slave trade under the pretence of establishing the African free -ap- prentice system, is preparing to adopt that scheme, and makes strong showing to prove that such Is its real position on the question: Its summary of the hand Great Britain had in originally fastening slavery on the New World Is capital one. We quote it as follows:
 "Great Britain at one time took upon herself to supply the world, at least the civilized part of 1t, with slaves. Her labors were by no means confined to her own possessions. Un- der the Assento contract she supplied the Spanish American colonies. Her merchants served as factors for the French trader on the African coast, or supplied the French Islands directly. She stocked Trinidad as well as the Province of Careccas; and about l796 the Ia- vana, also. The Philippine Company, invested with the privilege of importing slaves into South America, employed, by contract, British vessels manncd by British seamcn.
 " In one year. 119l the whole British tXpor- tation from Western Africa amounted to "A ,OOO; of whom 34 OO0 were for the service of other nations. England began in 1862, and only in | 1907 termjnatet! the traffic During the inter vening period, the aggregate of her immcdi late prey exceeded six millions. We may rate the direct mortality for which Great Britain is au- swerabc at two millions.

Bank Conference.

Philadelphia, Sept. 25, F. M-The Bank Presidents have had a conference this afternoon, and have decided upon temporary suspension of specie pay yment on checks and bills exceed- ing ten dollars.
 This course has been resolved upon by all the city Banks, and takes effect tomorrow.
 MAsoNIc.-At ameeting of Magnolia Lodge No. 60, F. A. M, held on the 18th Sept, 1857, the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolrel, That Magnolia Lodge, No. 6O send up to the Grand Lodge at its next regular communication, as contribution to St. John'S College, one dollar for each member, and as much more as any member may be willing to contribute; and that the Secretary be required to call upon the members, and receive the amount each one IS willing to give, and hand to the Lodge, at its meeting in October, a list of the contributors. with the amount each one has given.

temporary suspension of specie payments on checks and also on all bills exceeding ten dol lars, to go into effect tomorrow There was heavy run on all the banks to- day, but the Girard and others shielded them selves in the above manner. The brokers and others are highly excited and are circulating monstrous reports, which will account for various exaggerated rumors set ahoat. So far none of our banks have failed, and it is believed this partial suspension will be only temporarily.
 According to the law of 1850 this action of our banks will enttle the forfeiture of the char ters of those incorporated or extended since that time.
 Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
 PHIADELPHIA, Sept. 25, 4 p. m.-The only actual suspension to- day was that of the Bank of Pennsy ylvania. There continuous run on all the other banks, but the bills were re- deemed up to closing. | Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. | PHILADELPHIA, Sept 25.-This evening there was d meeting of the presidents of the banks in this city. After thorough consideration of the question to stop or go on tomorrow, it was decided unanimously to recommend their sev- eral boards of directors to suspend specie pay ment So now we are reduced to an exclusive paper currency.
 Those who control the banks are very san- guine that the moment the excitement occa- stoned by the recent heavy mercantile failures shall have been lulled little, the banks will be able to resume
 CHARLESTON, s. C., Sept. 25.-The news of the suspension of the Pennsylvania Bank, and the refusal of the Girard Bank to pay out spe- cie on large notes, created much surprise here in commercial circles
 Panic ill Philadelphia-Failure
 Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-The Bank of Penn- sylvana has suspended. The President says it Is only temporary.
 The Girard Bank is paying specie for notes, but checks are not honored until l o'clock There has been, and is heavy run on all the city banks, and all the banks are besieged with depositors and note holders
 There Is much alarm and business is almost suspended.
 LATER.-The Girard Bank still refuses pay ment of checks and notes above ten dollars. The Commercial and other banks are taking the same course and the run will probably cause suspension of specie payment.
 The excitement Is becoming very ntense PhiMde,pua, Sept. 25, P. M--Money affairs are worse, if possible, than ever. There is great demand for Eastern Exchanges at two per cent.

RATS STovEo-A MAN PROBABLY pRowNEE.
We understand that on last Sunday four RATS
were "stoved" n: what is known as the Big
Pitch" which is the toughest piece of water
in the mountains. Il seems that one which
Hr. Samuel Schafner was running got ont of
the course and swung straight across. Anoth-
er, in the care of Mr. Daniel Ogden one of
the best pilots the river, was so close that
he was comPciled to strike the first one about
the middle, which broke it in two Mr.. Oe-
dcn's raft passed safely through the aperture,
hut couple sticks of the broken raft getting
nnder his, rendered it unmanageable, and it
ran with such force against the rocks on the
right hand shore that it was torn TO pieces, no
two sticks remaining together. Mr.. Ogden
had previously warned the other hands of their
danger, and when the raft struck they sue
cceded in jumping on the shore rocks, with
the exception of Mr. James Flanagan, citi-
zen of this place, who was thrown into the cur
rent and carried down the stream. When last
seen, he was struggling to keep hold of a tim
Der stick, and as nothing has been heard of
him since, it is generally believed that he was
drowned. He was good swimmer, but it is
very probable that he received some injuries
which disabled, him.
