terms, and created intense enthusiasm, especially
in the reference to the part borne in that con-
test by that old war-ho1se of freedom, ''whose
whitened crest lin the words of Mr.. Banks) has
been seen in every contest for freedom in twenty
years, and upon whom the expectant eye of the
House always rested, at any moment, to see
him rise in defence of his cause, or fall in death
in his place, as our Adams fell, at his post of
duty" His allusion to Mr.. Giddings drew forth
the most unbounded enthusiasm, and on the re-
commentator of the President, who interrupted
the speaker for the purpose three rousing cheers
were here given for the old veteran, with hearty
good will.
Mr.. Burlingame said, never did he feel SO indie
scribably happy when the announcement was
made in the House that N. P. Banks was elected
Speaker, and when he heard the spontaneously
wild bursts of applause that succeeded, shaking
in its thunders the very foundations of the cap
itol
In words of conscientious and burning indig-
nation, MI. Burlingame denounced the pusilani-
nifty of the Northern doughfaces, and ridiculed
the audacious braggadocia and temerity of the
Southern aggressors, picturing both these two
classes of characters TO the life. He called on
his auditors to vote for Mr. Banks one and all
"Shall we" said the speaker, turning to his col
league on the platform, Hon. Eli Thayer, Ego

to meet the Shareholders of the South, and to
hear their burning taunts at us, and howls of
exultation over the defeat of their most danger

Mr.. Burlingame's magnificent speech occupied
two hours and quarter in the delivery, and was
listened to- with rapt attention to the close,
scarcely person moving from his seat the whole
time. Urging his hearers to do their duty man
fully and thoroughly at the polls, on the Sd day
Of November, he said, in concluding, that he had
but one more request to make, and that was,
that on his motion they would all rise and give
three such cheers for "the Bobbin Boy of Wal
tham'' as never before wakened the echoes of that
hall. Immediately thereupon, nearly every man
in the whole vast audience sprang to his feet,
and simultaneously gave six rounds of such
laundering cheers, as seemed to shake the entire
walls of the vast building, from the roof to its
very foundation.
Thus ended, amid additional cheers for the
eloquent speaker. that brilliant demonstration
for the cause of freedom, in Mechanics Hall, on
Saturday night Its influence will be widely felt

library worthy of the name, and nowhere sur

acter of the works contained in it. 1t now num-
bers about 1900 volumes of the first order Of
English and American standard works, only
about 100 volumes belonging to the department
of novels and tales.
During the last Winter the Association fur
nished to that community a full course of first
class lectures. Some of the best talent in the
country was employed, and it was inferior in no
respect to any course of lectures delivered before
the best institutions of Boston or New York.
The Association is out of debt, and has fund
on hand nearly sufficient, with prudent manage
ment, to meet the actual current expenses of the
year.

THE BURGLARs.-The arrest of Thomas and
Malcom Graham, in Brooklyn, N. Y, last week,
by Deputy Marshal Denny of this city, appears
to be among the most important arrests thai
have been made for some time. 1t is said that
the evidence will be amply sufficient to convict
Thomas Graham, as the burglar who entered the
house of Ethan Allen, Esq, in this city, with
Connors, who has already been examined, and
fully committed, for that bold operation. Last
Saturday, Malcolm Graham was taken to Groton,
by officer Denny, and Deputy Sheriff Clark Of
Groton, where he was examined before Justice
Rowe, and committed to Jail for want Of bail in
$500, upon charge of breaking and entering the
house of J. S. Ridley, at Groton Junction, on the
twenty ffth day of last September. We are in
formed that the police of this city and Boston
found, on Saturday, large amount of stolen
property, secreted in Boston. Marshal Warren
of this city was in Boston during chat day, while
Deputy Marshal Denny was at Groson. 1t ap-
pears that the arrests in New vnrlr --i''--is IL
bteaiNtss up gang of burglars who have been
carrying on extensive business, and will also
result in restoring large amount of valuable
property to the owners.

mills in Burrillville are all woolen or dependent
on the wooden manufacture, and we regret to
learn that there is prospect Of all of them sus-

--LATEST FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTEL
LIGENCE FROM EURoPE-The Boston Journal
is indebted to friend for the following sum-
mary of the latest telegraphic information re-
ceived at Liverpool previous to the departure
of the Europa:
"1he private Liverpool and London ad-
vices, which extend to the afternoon of the
10th inst. are very blue, the Persias advices,
received on that day, announcing the failure
of the Maryland, Rhode Island, and other
banks, having produced the greatest excite
ment in all quarters, and general suspen-
sion of business.
Many of the orders previously sent to the
United States for cotton, had either been
countermanded, or their limits materially re-
duced.
The market at Liverpool, meanwhile, closed
in a responding state, and the eighth advance
obtained IN the early part of the week had
been entirely lost.
Trade generally had received sudden and
unexpected shock, and further adyices from
America were looked for with the most pain
full interest.
The increase of the rate of discount by the
Bank of England was regarded as only a
commencement of the tightening of the
screws, and many were predicting that the
rates would go up to eight if not nine per
cent.
From Paris the accounts were also gloomy,
money being i'll great demand and the stock
market in state of suspense.
Telegraphic advices from Manchester, dated
on Saturday represent trade as quiet, with
much uncertainty prevailing, and money very
stringent.
The political affairs of Europe were a Sec
ondary question III all the leading cities, in
view of the treatening aspect of the American
crisis and its probable effect upon the trade
and commerce of the old world

We are authorized to state, and do state, in the
plauest and most emphatic terms, that Gov.
Gardeners friends and the Governor himself are
perfectly confident of the success of the Amerl'
can ticket and that reliable returns from all Sec
tos of the State have been received that in their
Judgment render Gov. Gardeners reelection GER
tain beyond qttestion.-Boston Traveller.
The confidence expressed by the TrGUeIler in
the above, we have the best reasons for believing
is based upon the fact that some of the leaders Of
the Democratic party have entered into secret
intrigue with the Gardner American party to
throw enough of the regular Democratic votes of
the State for Gov. Gardner to render his cleo
tion certain. OF course there will be some
squrming among the allen voters OF the Beach
party when the duplicity of their leaders becomes
manifest to them but the fact has gone forth
that Banks must be slaughtered at all hazards"
even if by so doing it re-instates for new term
of Office in the gubernatorial char that man, who,
of all others, is the head and front of the party
whose great end and aim is, as political organ
ization, to ostracise every man of foreign birth,
no matter how intelligent honest, or virtuous, he
may be- and to deprive him of all participation in
the affairs of republican government, either as
citizen of nation, State, county, or town. We
repeat that we have the best reasons for believing
that such is the game now being played by the
Democratic leaders, and our adopted fellow citi-
gems will perhaps find that their leaders, after
they have used them for their own purposes, will
sellthen, politically, as readily as their brother
Democrats at the South would sell negro The
principle is the same, and they who would up
hold the sale of the persons of one class, would
sell the personal OF political rights Of another, if
they could promote their own interests thereby.

The enlistment of recruits for the war in
India goes on rapidly in England, much more
SO than during the Crimean war. The ven
geance of John Bull seems TO be completely
aroused, and finds expression everywhere in
the most intense forms. The Rev. Mr., Spur
geon, in his sermon on the day of the nation
al Fast, quoted with great fervency the most
frIghtful imprecations of David, and prayed
that God would give England full vengeance
on her cruel enemies. There were "a 900
persons in the audience, and $3.50 were
collected for the Indian relief fund. At the
close Of the sermon, loud clapping of hands
testified the approval of the hearers, and
few minutes afterwards groups of people were
quathng bottled stout within few yards of
the pulpit Eating and drinking on the most
extended scale were carried on all over the
establishment; and many seemed to think
that fasting was not included in the ceremo-
MES of the day.

killed from causes beyond his own control.
1t now turns out by actual experiment
that the Blue Ridge Tunnel is too small to
admit the passage of single car, much less a

knowing ones that it will take from at least
three to probably eighteen months before the
defect can be remedied.

THREE THOUSAND BANKS MEN IN COUNCIL !
Mechanics Hall Filled to Overlooking.
Speeches of Hon. Charles Allen and Hon.
Arson RurIingame.

The largest and most effective political evening
meeting ever witnessed in Central Massachusetts,
was held in this city on Saturday evening. The
vast Mechanics Hail. capacious as it is, was
crowded to its utmost extent throughout, not
withstanding the unpropitious state of the wealth
sr. So intelligent an audience has rarely been
convened to welcome \ speaker, in any sec
ton of the Commonwealth. Upon the plat
form were seated many of our most distin-
guished and prominent citizens, as Vice Pres-
dents and their entrance into the hall, with the
President, and the distinguished orator of the
evening in charge, was greeted with the most
lively enthusiasm.
The meeting was held under the auspices Of
the Worcester Ironsides Club, and its success is
eminently creditable to them. At half past seven
O'Clock, the President of the Club, Austin L.
Rogers Esq, called the meeting to order, and
read the following list of officers for the evening,
which was unanimously adopted.
