FOREIGN NEws.-The Cunard steamship Ara-
bin, with London and Liverpool adyces to the
3lits ult., one week later, arrived at New Y ork
on Monday morning. Contrary to general ex-
pectation, the news of Bank suspension in
the United States has created no uneasness
on the other side. 1t is felt and understood
there that the course adopted by our Banks,
under pressure ofpublic opinion, was the only
one suited to the emergency
The most important news received from 10

by the Arabia. Delhi has fallen. On the
morning of Sept 14th the assault was COM
menced, and an entrance was effected to the
north of the City The next day fire was
opened on the magazine, and on the 10th that
position was stormed. Here the official des-
patches end, but reliable private letters state
that, after three days more fighting, the Brit
ish troops were in full possession of Delhi 1t

two sons escaped in the disguise of women's

Beg The Lecture of Rev THos K BEEcHER,
on Monday evening last, was well attended,
and gave encouragement that our citizens are
disposed to sustain this laudable enterprise
The lecturer chose for his theme the subject of
PLAY" which he treated in an original and
very interesting manner, commanding the un-
divided attention of the audience for nearly
two hours. Many of Mr.. BEEcHER's views are
somewhat novel, and not strictly in accordance
with generally received opinions, but the ear
nestness nd sincerity with which he advances
them, at once disarms invidious criticism
His style of ecturing, is attractive and
pleasant, while his truthful sketches and elo-
quent language enchain the hearers attention

POETRY FOR THE TIMES.
p THE efRL WITH TIE CALICO DRESS.
A 6g for your flsshy, fine girls,
With their velvets and satins, and lacss,
Their diamonds, and rubies, and pearls,
And their miliner finger and laces,
They may shine at party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess;
But give me in place ofthem all,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is plump as a partridge, and fair
As the rose in its earliest bloom;
Her teeth with the iv'ry compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume;
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawn which the Hunters hard press
And her eye is as soft and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress.
Your handles and foplings may sheer
At her simple aud modest attire,
But the charms she permits TO appear
Would set nwhole iceburg on FIRE;
She can dance, bit she never allows
The hugging, the squeeze, the csress,
She is saving all those for her spouse
My girl with the calico dress.
She Is cheerful, warm hearted and true,
And kind 10 her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother,
II you want companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
She is lust the right sort of n wife

Kisses me,
And prays that He who turns life sands
Will hold his loved ones in His hands.

The Credit System.

There are many eulogies passed
upon the so-called "credit SYSTEM"
Few know the real tax that it occas-
ions, or dream who pays it. A far
mer sells his grain upon credit, and
charges from five to ten per cent.
more than for cash. The manufac-
turer, in selling his cloth, demands
equally as much above cash price:
because hehas to wait and run haz-
ards for his pay. He sells to the
wholesale dealer, and demands like
addition to the cash price for giving
credit. The jobber buys, paying a
like addition for being trusted. He
sells to the country merchant, and
puts on like increase because he
gives credit. The latter in retailing
makes a like addition for selling up
on credit. Here are four sales upon
credit. At only five per cent. ad-
dition for credit, the consumer pays
twenty per cent. because former
owners dealt upon credit. At ten
per cent. it would amount to forty.
The latter, we think, is below the
reality. 1t follows that when the
consumer purchases five dollars
worth of cloth, two dollars of it are
paid in consequence of the various
credits given by sellers to buyers.
This is true to a greater or less ex-
tent as to very many things we con-
sumo. We are severely taxed for
the credits others obtain as well as
those extended to ourselves. The
paying consumers bear the losses
sustained by those who never pay.
The prizes of credit is largely increa-
sed because portion never perform
their engagements. Looking at the
matter as it really exists, we can APP
preciate the virtues assigned by
John Randolph to four words, which
he said were the secret ofprosperity

Singular Case of MonOmanfa.

Gay or two since woman, about 40
years old, died in ore Of our suburban villa
ges, who was the subject of singular mon
omanla. For some ten years past she be-
lleved herself possessed of some $l5 900, the
result, in part, of her industry and economy.
and sum said to have been left her by her
husband. Of this alledged treasure she was
accustomed often tospeak; as also of a daugh-
ter, whom she said was travelling in Europe
as governess and comapnion. About
month ago-at which time she lived in well
known family at the ives: end, in the oapac
ity of cook, in WHICH she was quite skilful
she procured the services of a Young and
accomplished lawyerin Court Street, to make
out her will. This was executed in a formal
manner. The $l5,OUO or more. was tesla
ted to various persons and for sundry pnrno-
ses. The directions were given with a ar
ticularity and method apparently indicative
of great sagacity. The legal gentleman of
course performed his duty with all due faith
fulncss, inspired alike by professional char
acter and the acceptable fee.
The other part of the matter remains TO
be told. On examining her ''estate." it turns
out that her allegations of property, SO au-
riferous to the legal gentleman aforesaid. and
her Europe touring daughter are both EN-.
and purely huns. A few dollars
not enough to cover her funeral expenses
were found about her person. This is all.
The woman has always appeared sensible and
sane, and was: so far as known, respectable
and worthy. She had repeated this story of
her wealth for years, and doubtless believed
it true. We may add that the LAWYER. in
the course of his professional service. had
expended from his own packet Upwards of
$lOp upon the case in addition to the CHARGE
for his own fee. Altogether the case is
most singular one.-Boston Bee.

The Rock ISLAND BRIDGE!-Our brethren of
the River presses below, are having good time
fighting about the Rock Island Bridge, and find
itquite as prolific theme as the late Indian
war" was to the st. Paul Dalies. Not having
been spectator TO any of the "terrible acct
dents" said to happen daily at that place, we
can't say which side to take. We notice that
two boats, the Tennessee Belle, and the Sara
cen, were wrecked there on the same day. The
Rock Island Argus says:
'The steamer Saracen, Capt Stran, from St.
Paul, in coming through the draw about o.
clock yesterday morning, struck the long pier,
breaking three of her hog Chain braces and will
probably have to go to the boat yard for repairs
She was otherwise injured, SO that she leaked
badly"
The Steamer Saracen is surely an unlucky
boat. We have before chrOnicled her as hav-
ing been blown ashore at Prescott on her way
up, and her difficulty at our wharf here. Capt
STRAINS star is certainly evil. However, the
Saracen went on to St. Louis, and may be re-
paired very soon.

ANOTHER VOLUME OF MACAULaY's HIS
TORY OF ESGLAND.-The fifth volume of Ma
caulay's History of England is said to BE-.
nearly ready Tor the press, and may be ex-
pected in July. 1t will bring the narrative
down to the death of WIN. III, in 1907
Macaulay is in his fifty-seventh year. with
Indifferent health. lie is said to have arrly-
cd at tn" conclusion already drawn by the
public, that it is wholly useless to continue
the idea Of writing history of England
down to such recent date as he originally
intended. When two volumes first appeared.
nearly nine years ago, he announced that he
proposed Ito write the history of England
from the accession Of King James the Sec
ond, down to the time which is within the
memory Of men still living" This is, down
to the end of the American war, in 1885,
exactly the concluding period of Lord Ma
hons (now Earl of Stanhope,) History. In
nine years. Macaulay has written the annals
the close Of James, reign, and only the OPEN
ing nine years Of the reign of William and
and Mary. At this slow rate it would take
ninety-one additional volumes and ninctv-one
more years to bring the work down to 1888.
Therefore, it is said, he has been persuaded
to close his history at the death of Queen
Anne in 1714-the actual close of the Stuart
dynasty, as reigning monarchs.
