We this morning spread before our readers the
reports Of the great fuancisl breakdown 10
ENGLAND. Il came substantially to tee same con-
clusiop 90 the similar movement in this country
namely. a suspension Of specie payments. 1t IS
true that the Bank still continues nOminaily to pay
lite notes In CON- but it s relieved from the necos
city OF regulating its Issues by its cssn in hand, and
il thus authorized 10 putfoTtb more notes than it
can pcssibly redeem. Tee Bark Of France and
indeed most Of the continental banks viii probably
follow suit, and the civilized world in general
enter upon that state of collapse sod stagnation
whose blessings we sre now enjoying n this ounsry.
We observe with come sarPrlse that the great
Democratic remedy for our present dstres'es is
not recommended BY the organs of that party with
fhe zeal we had expected. That remedy i, an ex-
elusive specie currency, snd it must De confessed
there yss never 50 favorsble an occasion for giving

1855. 1t eristed TO a considerable degree doring
s.ch Of the three preceding years, and during sae
current yeax il has doubtless gone Oh increasing
From Jsnusry to August the price Of " Hddiiog
Ohean," rose in the Liverpool market from 5!i
u ID TO sd. T. b, while at the same time the
production al export Of goods went on Increasing
but tsout suy rise 10 the prices of those goods at
all corresponding 10 the enhanced price Of the raw
Dsterisl.
The burden of this diminished return for the
lsbor and capital employed in the production OF
cotton goods has fallen entirely the man lfacsur
eIs OF course, with constant increase of mills,
ard until the recent adoption Of short time, there
has beer demand for skilled factory labor such As
did rot allow the Brtisb Ioill-Owners to attempt 20
stare this loss with the operatives by the reduction
of wsses. Tie Manchester Guardian concluded,
months ago, that fair balancing up OF acc )un1s
for IsjG would show the manufacturers that they
"bsd been working from December TO Dece nber,
"pot merely without profit but at positive lOss; y
ard a, to the present year, when we come TO add
to ,ht ENLARGED price Of cotton and the low price
of goods all the losses to result from the nOnpsy
me mt Of American debts it is plain that the British
cotton manufacturers viii find themselves stagger-
ing under very heavy burden.
From the way the thing has worked in
New England, aud the rest Of our cotton
mar ufsctu,iDg districts, we can well under
stand The real nature Of the trouble in
Glasgow, which is one Of the great seats of
the British cotton manufacture. Of course very
decided decline must follow in the price Of cotton,
it beir iIo possible that The m-owDers should 20
On any longer lot merely manufacturing for the ex-
c.usiye benefit Of the cotton growers, but sinking
tseir own capital in the operation Whstever maybs
the csse with other branches Of commerce. Il Is but
too evident that the whole business of the growth
ard manufacture of cotton has stood for some time
past Cd very unsound basis. We apprahend that
many Of our Southern friends who have invested in
slaves at the late enormous prices, may find than
selves before long 10 almost as discouraging posi-
ton as the mill-Owners.

that becsuse the English proprietcrs OF " Hard

Wood. tie euloeiss of Gen Worth, who has ere
this, undoubtedly, turned in his expensive csfiin,
being consciously mortified BY the style Of the
GRAFTON, ard twice mortified BY the character OF the
orator, says that be had nothing to do with the
lowy economical arrangement for the glass ballot
boxes He is innocent Of all dishonesty In respect
of that vitreous contract. Whoever else might have
pecketed the "swae," be did not. The question
therefore, becomes doubly important, whether the
operation was devised to benefit the family Of the
Woods, or come other ard quite distinct forest
Brother Fernando, it is well known, has
Brother Ben; ard this frsternal parsonage has
been very much complicated with Mr. JoIlie In the
ballot. box swiDdle. 1t has been said that the
sla,sy Jollie and the interesting Benjamin Wood
bad no business relations, and that therefore, not
only Fernando and Benjamin. but the whole band
of brothers, together with the aunts, cousins aud
or wooden relatives equally guiltess Of the
in guilty We propose to stick Brother Bepjamin
ard Mr.. Jolie 90 very cementinely together, that
million of orations like that gigantic effort of We'd
lesday would not part them.
Here il plain statement Of fats In September,
1e56, Mr. Joie appeared st the Office of Freeman
4 Co.'S Express. He made contract with the
express for the transportation to California Of one
hundred and fifty glass bailobOxes. He agreed to
psy the freight in advance. When the time Of
shipment arrived, the glsss ballot box man offered
for the freight the note of Brother Benjamin Wood
at three months Declined. Decidedly declined.
Then Mr. Jol lie begged Freeman & Co. to call upon
Brother Ben and make an arrangement They did
90, ard the result was Brother Ben's check, pre-
dated day or two. When the express people were
making out the receipt, Jolle insisted upon having
it in the name Of Brother Ben, averriDg that he was
the real consguee. The document was so drafted
There was, subsequently, dispute about the de-
livery Of these boxes and suit growing out OF
that Misunderstanding is now pending in the
Superior Court Of this city. The plaintiff is
Brother Ben. The defendants are Freeman & Co.
So it is matter of record that Brother Benjamin
was among the ballot-boxes fourteen months ago.
Possibly, courts of law might not regard this as
conclusive circumstance; but it will have its own
proper weight in the court of public opinion.
There are the facts. If anybody supposes that
Brother Benjamin has, in alliance with Mr. Joie,
been making money without promising to pay over
pretty good dividend TO Brother Fe rnando, he
ust be more verdaut than an ivybush id full leaf.
