quiet Dame Rumor in her busy talk, to
make the following statement:
In July last, l had my leg operated upon
by Dr.. ]. j Vinall, as was noticed in tho
columns of your paper. Ny leg did well
until about a week after, when, one morn
ing, while was about half asleep, became
frightened. and moved with such violence
as to displace the bones. In the evening.
sent for my doctor, and on examination.
he deemed it impraciicable to reset it. on
account of the inflammation and swelling
and was so left for the bones TO unite.
which they did. and am now again on my
feet. The leg. at times. has discharged
considerable. and my general health has
been impaired perhaps as much from want
of exercise as any other cause. With the
operation and treatment. | am well salts
fed. and have no cause to regret nv Sc.

Critical CoNDIrIoN OF ESGLAND.-Per.
haps the condition of England is really
more critical now than IL has been for a
long time. The last weekly statement of
the Bank Of England received shows dim
minu'ion of gold equal to 81 1854 900. and
the drain of bullion to the East and the
continent of Europe continued. and it was
about to commence to this country A
correspondent: at London, under date of
Sept. 23d, writes that "a little really i'm
portant good news from India. would ope-
rate marvelouslv upon the money market"
We may conclude. then, considering The
existing nervousness. that little really inn
portant bad news would operate not less
marvelouslv. We are in the midst Ct an
unprecedented cricis in his country they
are upon the brink of one on the other side.
the extent of which may in some degree be
determined by the next news from India
We suspect the Sepovs have poor esti-
mate of all the possible consequences of
their revolt.

OPERATIVES WITHOUT EMPLoYMENT-We
are told that at this moment there are thirty
thousand operatives and working men OF
various kinds without employment in the
city and vicinity of Philadelphia. Many
of these have families, and thus the dis

and indirectly. to hundred thousand souls.
In Manayunk and Franktord alone. no less
than fifteen thousand persons. women and
children. who have heretofore had regular
employment for years, are now wandering
about in idleness and anxiety. the factories
and workshops in which they have hereto

BEEcHER on THE TIMEs.--The Rev Hen

He concluded his remarks as follows:

appetite because you lose your money.
tell you the will goes IA great way in t,n:.se
things. L ma at frs. cause YOU great

Of subs i.uing stimulating drink for nutri-

STEAMER SUNK.--TEN OR TWELVE LIVES
LosT.--By telegraphic dispa ches, dated al
Boonville, on the 18th inst, we learn thai
the lightning Line packet Tropic, Capt
Marshall, has been sunk in the Missouri
River. The accident, of which no partic.
ulars are contained in the dispatches, &C.
Cured on the 18th inst, at Waverly.
Another dispatch to Major Bryant, U.
5. Marshal. states the loss of life to be ten
or twelve persons. Neitherof the dispatch
es give any further account of the sinking
or loss of life. The next arrival from the
Missouri should bring full particulars, and
as the accident happened on the 18th inst,
such an arrival is due. The boat Is doubt
less total loss, but the most melancholy
circumstance connected with the disaster,
is the loss of life attending it. The boat
was not valuable one, and was one of the
regular line of packets between jefferson
City and Weston. The Tropic was on her
way from Weston to Jefferson City when
the Incident happened.-S. Louis Repu6-

FIRE-SERIoUs Loss.--About 8 o'clock
on Monday evening fire occurred at the
Union City Foundry and Machine shop, To-
Gated midway between this city and La

workshops attached to each end.
The evening was unusually calm. and
the fire burned very slowly. giving the
owners time to save considerable property.

From the Detroit Ere,
Bank Reform.

A world of experience may be gained
fiom the experience of the present revul-
sion. which If the country will but profit
by l.. will not be dearly bought. 1t is con-
coded on pretty much all<hands. that the
paper money system lies at the bottom of
the prevailing troubles. in view of which
the following reforms are suggested:
|. A limitation Of bank circulation of
three dollars for one of specie
III. No bills undea FIVE dollars for the
present. and none under s2o afer January
1859.
III. Loans on call to be limited to five
per cent Of capital.
w. Long credits to be relinquished bv
our importers and j 'bbers; four to six
months to be substituted for eight to nine
months.
V. No loans to be granted to railroad
companies except in extreme cases no
railroad company can he well managed
whose expenditures exceed their receip,s.
vi. Abolish the usury laws. and lct
money be free between the borrower and
the lender.
These are all good. bu. the very best
among them is the prohibi ior, Of Noes o.
= less denomination than twenty dollars.
This would prac .ically bring he whole
brs'n'ss 1t h 20 inry to specie basis.
One of The chief evils Of "a kim in these
latter days. is that banks have NOT Confined
themselves to legi innate banking bust
ness. They have not only loaned to rail.
road companies. in large sums and IN long
time, bur to other corporations and private
companies. One Of the Buffalo banks which
failed month ago. had among lis assets
the paper of a car manufacturing compa-
ny amounting a h lnlra.l thousand dol,
lars. or thereabout. The car company
could not paw. and the hank could not car
~ this addition to i's already large sus
pended debt; so it failed. We state this
as an example. Manv Of the other explo-
dep banks. all over the country. have gone

isfra'ion OF their affairs. They have no,

business. They have used their franchis-

Boys, be kind to your sisters. You may
live to be old. and never find such tender,
loving friends as these sisters. Think how
many things they do for you; how patient
hey are with you; how they love you in
spite of all your ill-temper or rudeness
how thoughtful they are of your comfort.
and be you thoughtful for theirs. Be ever
ready to oblige them, and if they express
a wish. be ready to crafty it if possible.
You de not know how much happiness you
may find in so dong | never yet knew a

The depth Of the ocean lies fathoms below
