CRUELTY TO SAILORS.

~The American captains in London had con-
tributed Gao to the wife of Captain Rogers,
who was recently hung in Liverpool for causing
the death of one of his seamen, at the same
time expressing their conviction that he was no
murderer"
We clip the above item from the news of q
late Liverpool steamer. The case of Captain
Rogers" referred to, was one where the most
revolving cruelty met with a just punishment.
If the treatment Captain Rogers bestowed
upon his wretched victim is to be palliated or
justified, then the shocking atrocities of the
Sepoys can also be justified. The Captain lit:
erally tortured the life out of one of his sailors,
and he was hung for it. In England murder
at sea is yet punished by the strong arm of the
law, and Captains of ships who are guilty Of
barbarous conduct to their crews are looked
upon with suspicion and disfavor.
We are panied to say that large number of
American Captains have acquired bad repu-
tation over England by their treatment Of their
crews and emigrant passengers under their
care. We know of what we speak when We
declare that the denominations which are con-
stantly taking place on board a class of Ameri-
can merchant ships are disgrace to the whole
country. Our informants are officers Of Amer
lean ships, the journals of our maritime cities,
foreign journals, and experience; for we have
witnessed the preparation of deeds on board
6rst-class American packets which should have
consigned the guilty parties to imprisonment
for life. Each day develops some new cruelty.
We noticed, few days since, a statement in
the N Y Times, that packet came into the
port Of New York recently, with a crew, tour
Of which had persisted from the crueties of the
officers of the ship. The facts were sworn to,
but, through soc,e kind of juggle, the culprits
have thus far ESCAPED indictment. We have
before mentioned the singular but we'll known
fact, that crews going from New York to Liver.
pool are treated in kinder ard more careful
manner than in coming this way; and the only
reason is, that the authorities of Liverpool and
other English ports administer justice to sailor
and captain impartially.
a few weeks since, an American ship officer
was guilty of some cruel act in Welsh port
The newspaper of the town commented upon
his conduct freely, and condemned it, like a
man and Christian. The officer attempted to
play off some of his American tricks upon the
editor-attempted to fog him, and insulted
him in various ways. But he soon discovered
that such conduct could not go unpublished
there. he was not in an American port

The NEw YoRK SUsPENsIoSs.-Th feeling
in New York among business men, the day
after the general suspension of the banks, was
one of relief. The crisis was passed, and better
times must come. The Journal Of Commerce,
of the day after the bank failures, says;
This is deplorable result, but perhaps
could not be avoided. To tell the truth, there
had been for some days a strong feeling IN
favor Of suspension among the most needy por.,
ton of our merchants and other citizens, aud
they were warmly seconded by many OF the
houses already suspended, who saw that IS
things were going, their goods would be literally
slaughtered
" The effect will undoubtedly be TO afford
some relief to the money market, which for
several days past has been in SKATE of utter
collapse; but borrowers must not expect TOO
much from the change, as the banks will make
it their prime business to place themselves IN
condition to resume, which, so far as we can
see, may be accomplished at an early daIe.
In the mean time, the banks will continue |"

The proportion of coin to paper at different

How good the "authority" for some Of these
statements may be, we cannot tell, but, assuming
that they are good, it is evident that the pro-
portion Of specie to paper is now jus. what it
was in 1900, which we coubt.
The same journal gives the following state.
ments respecting the circulation Of money at
different dates in this country:
"But the true test cf the effects of the cur
rency is to be tested by the active circulation.
Let us look at that. For this, we must deduct
from the coin the amount retained by the
banks and sub.treasuries. Then we shall have
the money at the command Of the people,
though not necessarily in active business. The
result for certain periods is as follows, with the
amount per head of the population.
