The Financial Conyulsion.

On Friday last the Bank of Pennsylvania, in
Philadelphia, suspended payment This was fol-
lowed next day by general suspension Of the 9th
er Philadelphia banks, without much regularity or
common understanding, SO that up to the present
time the pursued by the several banks is by
no means uniform. The Baltimore banks next
suspended in body. The Maryland aud Pennsyl-
vania banks in general have suspended.
On Monday, meeting Of persons representing
thirty-three of the thirty-nine Providence banks
was held at the Office of Messrs. MANToN g. HAL
LET, in that city. In accordance with the recon-
mendation of the representatives Of twenty-one
banks, most of the banks suspended specie pay
ments next morning, and the suspension soon be-
came pretty general and complete. The country
banks of tho State followed suit Immediately.
Part of the Southern and Western banks have
joined In the suspension which is doubtless per-
manent failure in some of their cases. The strong
est banks, including those Of the great comm :rcial
centres, continue to meet demands upon them.
Numerous commercial failures are reported, in
cluding some heavy firms. Business is Of course
unusually stagnant, and thousands are thrown out

The Feeling Here
TEACHER.
Warren, Sept. 30, 1857.

We rejoice to say that not one in ten in the busi
ness community Of Warren approves of the suspen
sion of the Binks in this State. The general SEN
timent here is that there was no good reason for
the step resolved upon by the Providence fnan-
ciers AMI that little good AMI great evil will result
fro.. it. The ill effects of II suspension arc the
theme of indignant comment, and much restiveness
is evnccd that the working of the Bank system is
such as to compel the Warren Banks to participate
in suspension forced upon them by the i'll advised
course of the Providence Banks. We have heard
large stockholders remark that they would gladly
f,rego their dividends fer years rather than be
thus majle Involuntary parties to a measure the
princi lie of which they detest, and the policy o.
which they wholly condemn
Confidence in the resources of the three Banks
here is undated. Nobody distrusts them, and be-
yond the inevitable incoDveniences resulting from a
suspension of specie payments, their relations to
the public remain us before. They will be earnest
ior speedy resumption.

Rbooe 1slano affairs.


1--WE have recently'seen several severe commcHts
in the Warren aud Bristol papers upon Attorney
General Hart for the course pursued by him In re-
lntion to an Indictment found against man in
Bristol for rape, where the Attorney consented to
receive plea of Guilty to a charge for assault
and waived the greater offence since he was oonf-
dent the evidence would not convict before the pc
tit jury. We have no doubt this was correct and
judicious for IL was better to punish the offender
for an assault than to let him 20 SCOT free" owing
to disagreement of4he jury. Mr. Hart is an OFF,
cor distinguished for energy and ability In the dis
charge of his official duties and we regret that he
has thus been assaed and doubt not that an inves-
tigation of the affair will convince our friends in
Bristol County, that he acted with prOprcty.
TIE position of prosecuting Attorney is no sim
ecure and entails upon its occupant many annoyan-
ces and disngreeables, that the INITIATED do not
dream OF, he should certainly receive tue support
and cooperation Of all good citizens"
We take the above from the Newport Ners,
wherein it appears under the head Of Local
News" but 1t would pass for ners elsewhere. II
is surprising that those who have nothing more
than friendship for the Attorney General to base
sdch paragraph upon, will undertake to dispose
of so serious q matter in such a manner No
amount Of white-washing by the Ners or the Prov.
idcnce Journal can blink the default of which he
has been guilty.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN CRoMPToN.-BUR-
GLARy AND ATTEMPTED MURDER-The house of
Miss Phebc s. Peabody, in Crompton village, War
wick, occupied by herself and two other females
wns buralanously entered on Wednesday night,
about half past eleven o'clock. The women were
aroused by the noise, and in state of great trep
dation got up and CONNIE need to dress themselves,
when the ruflianly burglar entered the with
a light. Finding that the inmates Of the room
were aroused, the man extinguished the light,
knocked down one Of the women, aud attempted
to cut her throat, inficting an awful cash some
rhIee inches in length in the side Of her neck The
other women escaped from the room and gave the
alarm, and before the neiglbors could reach the
spot the villanhad fed. The wound he inflicted
on the throat Of his victim is serious one but is
hoped will not result fatally. The females are all
employed in the mill, and tie burglar probably cx-
pected to find money boarded in the house. He is
believed to be a resident of that vicinity, and the
suspicion is heightened by the fact that he used
great excrtions to conceal his face. SO daring an
attempt to c mmit the double crime of robbery
aud murder has created much excitement i, that
vicinity and energetic efforts on foot to find out
tie human fend whose depraved nature fitted him
for the work.-Proridcncc Post.

II Will Bear Repeating.

When an effort was made to force the Boston
Banks into suspension in 1889, Hon. NATHAN
APPLETON, one of BustOn's most distinguished
men, vigorously opposed the measure in an article
from which we make the following extract 1t
reads well no,c, when similar attempt is being
made to compel their suspenson-an attempt
which we hope and believe will prove as unsuccess-
full in 1857 as in 1889.
"Itis to many people very simple affair-to pass
n vote to suspend specie payment but to my mind
the question is one of the most solemn and momcn-
tous that can be presented. Perhaps my notions
on this subject have become antiquated it is in fact
some thirty years since first mbibed G. em-butI
consider suspension of scecie payment neither
more nor less than act Of bankruptcy "a failure.
Disguise it you will, can give 1t no other name.
1t is refusal to perform the promises of the in
sttution-and it would seem, can only be justified
by the most absolute the direst necessity. The
first question therefore s, does that Necessity exist
1t cannot be pretended that it does The Banks OF
Boston are known to be in position Of great
strength. Their liabilities are very moderate, and
their specie much above the average, of the last
twenty years. Under these circumstances ark,
is there any apology, any justification for tie Banks
to CO nmit an act Of bankruptcy! AS Bank direc'
! tor l feel the respOnsbty-and / beg of other
Bank directors to consider the relation in which we
stand. We are the trustees of the stOt khOlders,-
they nave cOnnded 20 us tne III inageHcht Vi theii
property under the various Bank chlrters,-tlis
trust we have accepted. Is it mockeryi We
are also trustee of the depostors they have placed
in our hands property, under pledge as solemn
as any pledge can be, that it shall be forthcoming
on demand. Is all this n mOckeryi Can we shut
down the lid ON our full coiers,-and say to theil
depostors, you may whistle for your money II
is true we have got it sate,-the gold and silver you
entrusted tn us, or what we received as such, is un
der our Lockout we will not restore it to you
whether you like it or not-ne do not think It ex
pcdicnf. Perhaps we may give you a note prom
Using to pay you on demand-but which promise
we tell you beforehand will not be kept Ist con
sistent with honor or honestly 1t strikes me as q
breach of trust highly disgraceful. This was the
view which Bostunians took of a similar transac
tion in 1sl3-when New York Bank kept fast
hold of our money under the pretcxt that we might
mako bad use of IL by buying bills in Canada. L
seems to me the only view that can be taken of il
by those who consider it the proper institution o
Banks to set an example to the community of pune
tual and honorable dealing. It is true that th'
lamentuble catastrophe Of 1887 has introduced ,
laxity Of moral feeling on this subject especially il
Philadelphia and the South which bids fair serious
" tO affect our national Character. / cannot bu
hope, however, that Boston will continue true ;

AsHBY, THE ENoINEER. This man suffers con;
siderably In reputation. Mrs. O'Connor and her

"Mrs. O'Connor speaks In the highest terms Of

of the removal Of the ladies' and children, and aid
ed in letting them down from the steamer, and
thinks he held the rope which dropped her safely

his mother had puton him before she left the steam

he refused. upon which the engineer drew his bow.

THE PROSPECT OF RAISING THE CENTRAL

the soundings show six hundred fathoms of water.
