the movement were printers. When

The News W Telegraph.

This morning is Of the deepest interest
to the whole country Northwest Of the
Ohio. No suspension that has yet &C.
CURED can produce so disastrous and
wide spread embarrassment to this Sec
ton Of country as the failure Of the
house of WINsLew, LANIEE &c Co. They
have been more extensively connected
with the finances of Ohio and Indiana
than any firm or Institution in New
York. They were the agents Of many
OF the banks and railroads in the two
States. They were the correspondents
of several branches Of both the old
and new State banks Of Indiana, and
held large sums belonging to both Insti-
tutions; end they are also large stock
holders in both. Their connections with
the commercial and financial affairs ofin-
dividuais throughout both States were
more extensive and intimate than those
of any other house. The effects of their
suspension must be felt in all the rami-
fieations of trade and finances through
the Northwest, and will end, we pre-
sumo, the doubts relative to a general
suspension in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
The Branch Bank in this city is fortified
fortunately with pile Of coin that will
pay all her liabilities; and she will be one
ofthe Branches that will be sustained to
preserve the general charter. The branch
at Jeffersohyille has yielded to the pres
sure and 'caved;' the mob could not pro-
tect nor save her.
The Free Banks here are we'll fortified
and strong, and probably can under any
circumstances sustain themselves; but
the question is whether they ought to
struggle against inevitable events regard
less OF the interest and salvation Of the
community. They are in this period o.
financial calamity, the only support and
dependence Of the community for a cir
culation, and the people will protee. them
in any wise and prudent course they may
adopt for their benefit. # is time for de.
eisive and resolute action.
F. The decrease of the public funds in
the National Treasury is very rapid, and
at the present rate Of depletion it will
soon be empty.
The election returns which in ordinary
times would be absorbing topics, DOW
scarcely attract attention. Those pub
lished this morning are unusually i'm
portant and interesting.
1t Will be seen that one Of the largest
of the old Banks in New Orleans hal
suspended ON her deposits.

The VIcIssITTDEs OF TRADE. The
following statement, we presume, alIudes
to the firm Of Choteau, Sanford & Co.,
New York.
I A few months since, the partner of a COM
mercial house in this city was taken to lu-
matte asylum, utterly deranged. as was said,
by his unparalleled prosperity in business.
During the year previous his firm had cleared
81 800, 900. He died in the asylum. and his
own estate was valued at S2,5C0 900, all in
vested in the concern of which he was part
ner. The firm itself failed the other day, and
is now utterly insolvent. One item of the
assets of the estate of the deceased was six
thousand shares of the Illinois Central Rail-
road stock, which was selling at the time OF
his decease, at $40 a share, and which was
worth, after paying up the instalments
100000. The same property sold yesterday
at public sale at $50, 600.
All this occurred within eighteen months
the prosperity, the insanity, the decease and
the insolvency.

An IMPORTANT ARBITRATION. - The
Russian Government has ever exhibited
magasnimous and liberal spirit in all
its dealings with individuals in this coun-
try, where it has been for years contract
ing for ships, arms and supplies Of vari.
Gus kinds. A noble instance Of its sense
Of justice and liberality has just been
made known. Col. Colt had large con.
tract for the delivery Of rifles at several
ports in Russia, which he was prevented
delivering by some act or condition Of
the Russian Government. He made q
claim for damages in consequence. The
Emperor Immediately proposed to refer
it to arbitrators, aud agreed that they
should be selected from Col. Colts own
countrymen and that the case should be
tried at Hartford, the place of the Colo
nel's residence. Col. Cooper, of the u.
s. Army, the Hon. l.. P. Waldo, one Of
the Judges ofthe Superior Court Of Con-
necticut. and the Hon. George s. billiard
Of Boston, were agreed upon as the arhi-
traitors. r. A. Chapman, of Springfield,
Mass, was counsel for the Russian Gov
eminent, and VIM. w. Eaton, of Hart
ford, was counsel for Colt. The hearing
was finished on Wednesday last, and on
Thursday the arbitrators made an award
against Col. Colt. This affair is in re
markable contrast with the action Of our
own Government, which refuses to be
bound by the decisions Of its own Court
of Claims. 1t is the first case in which
any Government ever consented to refer
q private claim to arbitrators.
