DARK VIEW OF THE CRISIS.

The following dark view Of the present
financial crisis is from the Liverpoo! POD,
received by the Canada:
"a well-infouned correspondent. writes
10 US as follows: The pressure Is nov be.
ing transferred from the manufactures to
the labohng population, and unless meas
ures Of relief are applied, thousands Of ar
hzans in Scotland will be thrown destitute
on the country. The Bank Of England
Directors can only comply with the pro-
visions Of their Charter, with money at 9
and 10 per cent. Cotton, that was at
9kd., must come down 10 std, and At
this price manufacturer would be enabled
70 90 on with safety. As for the United
States, four-fifths Of the Banks and mer-
chants are insolvent; and the value of the
cotton crop, will, therefore, be reduced as
assets oue-halE Wheat aad -four have
already come down 50 per cent. in the
Western States, and these prices must be
expented to govern future maximum Op-
erations. The struggle, 10 the meantime,
Is between money and produce. the impOr-
ter and manufacturer, the exporter and the
foreign consumer; for enc thing is clear
this country cannot continue to Fay for In.
dia and China produce in fpecie, as hith.
s:to; nor can America expect any longer
TO tamper with the markets Of all the world
with her spurious credits. In Canada the
Banks are confident of maintaining specie
payments, unless some unexpected com
plicatiOn should supervene, which was not
anticipated, Should this attitude be up
held, the produce Of the West would be
moved to the sea-board during the Win
ter, by railway TO Portland, through Ca
madam agency and monetary facilities"

FREE TRADE.

No less than Forty thousand opera
tives have been thrown out Unemployment,
in Philadelphia alone, in consequence Of
the recent suspensions and failures occa.
stoned by the arrangement of our none
tary affairs. That number Of people are
thrown upon the world without anything
to do; with but little to keep themselves
or families on, and with, in all probability,
a hard winter staring them in the face
And yet, we venture the opinion, that
tLree-fourths of this forty thousand, that
are placed iu the lamented condition, both
voted and used their influence at the Ie.
cent State election in favor of William F.
Packer, the Free Trade candidate for Gov
ernor. Will common sense views never be
needed tn Pennsylvania Will maiori-
ty Of the people never see that the present
Free-Trade policy Of the country is the
source--both immediate aud remote--from
whence flow our pecuniary difficulties?-
They vote against the very labor that af
fords them food and raiment; and when
their employers are unable longer to bear
up against European competition, they
raise a senseless cry against the GBanks," !"
and attribute their misfortunes solely to
banking institutions. When will they
learn that to be protected themselves, their
employers must have the advantage which
a protected tariff affords !-Beqpsr dr.

SMOKING. The saliva serves the i'm
portant purpose of mixing and preparing
the food for the stomach; hence it ought
not to be squaEdered by frequent splitting.
The strange custom of smoking tobacco is
on that account extremely hurtful, and it
weakens the organs of digestion, deprives
the body of many useful fluids, and has a
direct tendency to emaciate it, particularly
in young persons and those of lean and
dry 6bres. To these it is the more detYi-
mental, that it promotes not only the spit.
ting of saliva, but likewise other evaeua-
tons. The practice not only vitiates the
stomach, but impairs the understanding,
and Supplies the powers Of the mind.--Dr.
WalicA.

"LET THERE BE LIGHT"

"LEr rHERE M LIoHr.h The Eternal spoke,
And from the abyss where darkness rode
The earliest dawn Of nature broke,
And light around creation hOWd.
The glad earth smiled to see the day,
The nrst born day came blushing in;
The young day smiled to shed It's ray
Upon world untouched BY sin.
"Lst there be light.n Der heaven and earth
The GOD who fnt the day.beam poured.
Uttered again his Cat forth,
And shed the gospels light abroad,
And, like the dawn, its cheering rays
0a rich and poor we're meant 10 lan,
Inspiring their Redeemer's praise,
In lOWly cot and lOrdly hall.
Then come, when in the orient first
Flushes the signal light for prayer;
Come with the earliest beams that burst
From GoD's bright throne Of glory there,
Come kneel to HIN who through the night
Hath watched above thy sleeping soul,
To HIM whose mercies, like his light,
Are shed abroad from pole to pole.

FALLEN METEOR FoUND.-The people
of Marblehead think they have found a
meteor on River Head Beach, which fell
in May last. The meteor, when found,
was in a solid mass, and covered a space of
eight or ten feet 10 diameter. Tie sub
stance is of a dark color, aud resembles
scoria or molten iron after cooling, The
surface is perfectly smooth, and is cover.
ed with glotules of different size, which
had apparently been forced upwards by
the pressure ofthe vapor below, The un-
der surface of the mass isporous. On be-
ing broken it emits a strong sulphurous
smell. 1t is iu no way affected by the
magnet. The substance presents the ap-
pearance Of having cooled from fluid state.
The whole mass weighed from six to eight
hundred pounds.
