0-F The scene the other day upon the bank suspension in New York, was unlike that of 1857. Then it was done in an imposing man. ner. A II the banks closed May 10th, by con- cert. The military were out to keep order. and order there was. It was intended, to produce a political effect. The calamity was ascribed to the specie circular, the fall of the United States bank, and the hard headed -barbaritv of Van Buren, who had robbed the people, and refused relief in distress Mir. Webster had few weeks before made speech in New York on the slns of the party in power, and the calamni- ues to come. He was making speech at heeng when the news reached him that the banks of New York had suspended. Nick Riddle issued his manifesto, as usual, showing the world that his bank had suspended too: not because it was obliged to, but just out of pity for the rest; when his concern was rotten. and never resumed The close of the banks the other day Was unexpected, amidst great ex- cltement but no imposing display They can't tell this time who is to blame; but most people thlnk. If they would look into the glass they might see now, as they might have seen then. Lou Democrat

or Some few years ago Mr. Kidwell was preaching to large audience in wild part of Illinois, and announced for his text: c. In my Fathers house are many mansions" He had scarcely read the words, when au old coon stood up and said:
 "I tell you, folks, that's le I know his father well. He lives fifteen miles from Lex ington, in old Kentucky, in an old log cabin, and there ain't but one room in the house."
 At another time the same Universalist preacher was holding forth in a meeting house in Terre lIaute. He had gone about half through his discourse when a man came in, quite the worse for liquor, and reelcd up h front of the pulpit, where he steadied himself and listened. The preacher was earnest in proving that there is no hell, and urged the Universalist doctrine with great eloquence, till the poor drunkard below cried out to him.
 "That's it kidwell, my old friend; make them words true or if you don't Pm goner"
 That brought the sermon to a close It was an application quite unexpected, but all the more forcibe on that account.-Ha1per's Ma- gdzine

0ET An instance of the terrible effect of the financial pressure is told by the New York Post. few months since the partner of commer- cial house in that city was taken to lunatic asylum, utterly deranged, as was said, by his unparalleled prosperity iu business. During the year previous his firm had cleared $1,3OOOOO. He died in the asylum, and his own estate was valued at S2,500,OOO, all invested in the concern of which he was a partner. The firm itself failed the other day, and is now said to be utterly insolvent. One item of the assets of the deceased's estate was thousand shares of the Illinois Central Railroad stock, which was selling at the time of his decease at $40 a share, and which was worth, after paying up the nstalments, S8OO,OOO The same prop erty sold on Monday last at public sale at S50,- GOO.

The World Carried by a Coup de Main
 A Gigantic Business Plan.

In all our newspaper experience we have never known any invention or discovery to so comepletely enchain public attention, and en-
 list universal confidence, as Holloway's world sanclned remedies. Al nations seem to have received and adopted them The journals of the old world, even the leading medical publi- cations there, lent from the first their powerful aid to the inventor. Brother Jonathan follow ed in the wake of John Bull, and made such enormous drafts upon Professor Holloway's Central Establishment in London, that he found 1t necessary to come over, and set up new ma nutactory ln the commercial capital of Ame- rlca. With this main depot for the new world, he has connected more than thirty thousand dependent agencies, iii the various States and Territories of the Union. And this is but a fraction of his gigantic distributive system.- He counts his agents by hundreds of thousands, and the mails groan under the weight of his correspondence. He pays the revenue of petty prince in postages and freight, and we have yet to see the man who can point out a paper, in which Holloway's name has not been mentioned All this vast system of production, disbursement, dissemination, and publicity is under his own immediate management, and lie governs 1t as easily as a telegraphic operator controls the fiery tongue of the ishtniag- Truly he Is man in whose mental organiza- ton the highest and rarest qualities seem to have commingled. i, He has done more for suf- fering humanity in twenty years, than medical science had previously accomplished in twenty centurles.-BoSton Journal

0T The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the steamer Telegraph brings from Canada on eve- " trip families of negroes who have formerly fled to the Provinces from the States. They describe the life and condition of the blacks in Canada as miserable in the extreme. They are princlpally from Canada West. Ohio and Mi chlgan are likely to have large accessions to thelr negro population from that source. The Canadians have shown disposition in their Parliament, and in their every day transactions, to discourage the negro population coming to or remaining in the Provinces.

THE SILLYMEN IN EURopE.-The EnoIish papers have taken up the New Haven letter to President Buchanan, and the nature of their criticisms may be inferred from the following extract from long article in the Liverpool Northern Times:
 1oar readers have perused the memorial and the Presidents reply, and we think that they will agree with Us, when we say that the latter, with the ge9ious of an experienced di- pomatIst, considers the entire bearing of the question, and does not act upon partial princi- pies, that the decision as matter, involving SO large an interest," may most securely be entrust- ed. Hence, we quite approve of the Presidents stern, but dlgnihed rebuke to these mischie- VouS ahd selt-constituted counsellors, whilst we concur ln the statesmanlike manner in which he destroys the charges preferred against him"

THE BRIDE.-I know of no sight more charming and touching than that of young and tender bride in her robes of virgin white led up trembling to the altar. When l thus behold lovely girl in that tenderness of her years forsake the house of her father and the home of her childhood and with the implicit confidence and the self-abandonment which belong to. woman, giving up all tLe world for the man of her choice; when hear her, in the good old language of the ritual, yielding her. self to him for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health to love, honor and obey, till death us do part" it brings to mind the beautiful and affecting devotion of Ruth" Whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest will lodge--thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.''- Washington Lving

Sawyer, esq.,. collector of the port of Norfolk Va, by James Buchanan, to be presented to that noble veter- an ot old Ocean, Capt. A. Johnson, of the Norwegian barque Ellen, who so gallantlv went to the rescue of the passengers of the Central America. This magnificent watch and chain is sald to be one of the best the world can produce and coming as present from such a source as the President of the United States, must make an lndellbe impression upon the minds of fu- ture generations of the heroic Behavior of Capt Johnson on that perlous occasion.

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL LRAILRoAD.-The Hi nos central is the richest of western roads. It runs 627 miles through a princely domain, seve- ral miles in width, given it by Congress. It was built by the State of Illinois, which stands security for its debts. Into its treasury are poured every year nearly $2,OO0OOO of receipts while only about Sl0O0OOO is drawn out for expenses. Its stockholders have only been called upoE for 40 per cent of their subScrip- tons, and probably never will be called on for the rest. With unquestioned credit for millions, the paralysis of eastern exchange leaves it una ble to obtain even a few thousands for present emergencies, and 1t is compelled to suspend payment till the crisis is over.-Al5any Euen- anQ yonrRal
