enters Ia: ecly into the life of the English
people, and in nothing more than in affairs
of the heart; she embraced with pride the
hope of serving as an instrument in the de-
liverance Of Italy. At first she addressed
meetings IN Scotland The sigh of so beau
ttul girl, her inspired air, Der excited Ian
guage, provoked the greatest enthusiasm
This first success finished in attaching her 10
the cause of Mazzini, who for her was no
longer man, but Messiah. She went TO
Genoa, as the Turks 60 to Mecca, to see the
sanctuary of the prophet.
In Italy she was warmly received in the
arlstocratic society of Genoa. bouquets were
sent to her. verses were dedicated to her. she
had serenades; but her triumph was of short
duration. The attempt at Genoa and Leg
norm vas soon made; her intimate relations
with Mazzini, and her well known political
sentiments compromised her. She was or
dered at first to leave Tie Italian Territory
but she refused, was thrown into prison and
has now just gained her liberty. These de-

Condition Of the Banks Of Pennsylvania.

The condition OF the currency in PeEnsyl-
vania rs fully exhibited by the table we have
prepared, showing the circulation. deposits
and specie of our banks and their relation to
each other. together with their approximate
proportions Of coin to circulate and dcpostcs
The summing up of these items shows, that
in tbs aggregate, the banks that issue paper
money had less than one dollar in coin. at
the beginning Of November last, to every six
do!iars of their immediate liabilities. This
having been the case, there can be no reason
to wonder Why they were compelled to sus-
pend as soon as public confidence was dis
tur0cd, and run was made on thcm for spc-
Gle. Our esteemed corresr ondent s'GALLA-
TIN called attention to the fact that the Bank
of England did not consider itself safe without
at least onc-third of its immediate liabilities,
IN hard money, in its vaults some weeks be-
fore Mr, BENTON and latterly Mr. BUCHANAN
enforced tue same example as a great truth
to be prontcd by. Experience has taught us
that specie basis Of one sixth is entirely too
narrow, and that our banks must fortify them
selves with due proportion ST bullion. or
every petty shocl, viii throw them overheard
and through them bring disaster and ruin 10
all the industrial interests of the country.
The want of uniformity III the specie basis
Of banks is another reifiarkab!e feauture cx-
hiblted by our table. 1t is strange that in
matter so vital to the business OF the country
and 70 the banks themselves, there should be
no system, or not even the approach to one.
Some banks have as high as one-halG or one
third coin, number have sixth or seventh.
while quite large proportion have no more
than tenth or q fifteenth As no law com
pels them to retain an adequate pre- portion it
would seem as if the laws of trade aud Of self
preservation ought to have dictated something
approaching to uniformity. But lot So
Eoch bank has been law unto itself, run
ming reckless race after large profits aud
handsome dividends.
