POSTSCRIPT.
Tfs O'CLOCK, p. NJ.
The news from England, toreshadowed above
reached tbia city late this evening. 1t confirms what
was generally talked about in the street during the
dsy. The Bank Of England charter has been sus
pended, and an unlimited issue of small notes uutbor
lied. Numerous failures had occurred throughout
Grsa, Britain, and the panic became 40 alarming soon
efer the departure Of the Atlantic that the govern.
ment was compelled to step forward TO the aid Of The
bank aud the merchants. Among the failures IL to
be found that of the City Bank Of Glasgow, announc
Ell by the Atlantic. There had been a very large de.
cline in cotton-from two TO three cents per pound
for Tho five days preceding Friday, The 18th inst;
but on that day the market improved one cent and n
half. There had also been a decline in breadstuGs.
The recent powerful letter Of Gov. Wise has been
extensively re.published, entire, in most Of the iDhu
entail papers of the country. Among others. the Ma.
tioual Iu,elligencer inserts it at length, with the fol.
lowing Introductory remarks. The reader will Oh,
serve shat the S,ates.Rights anti consolidation princi
pies Of Gov. Wise do not suit the views of the vene
rable organ Of the latitudinarisn constructionists at
Washington. On this point, then, it may be fully
conceded, that his record is clear:
LETTER FROM GOV. WISE.
In compliance with q call from the R;chmond En-.
ouirer, bis Excellency, Gov. Wise, of Virginia, has
;.id,essed 10 tho editors Of that Journal the suhjoined
i.ti-r, which, in Justice to the distinguished writer as
w.il as because of it's relation 10 matters of current
political interest, we transfer to our own columns. 10
% far as this letter treats Of questions which are local
and personal in their nature, we, of course, have mel.
;aer the right nor tho disposition to pass any judg.
meut upon tie declarations further than to say that
they are marked by a frankpess which is equally char.
a~c,eristic Of and honorable to the writer while, with
respec, to the illusions which 1t makes to The politi
ca! issues alleged to be involved In the late Presiden
:iEl election, It mu.t surely be unnecessary for US TO
express our dissent from the judgments pronounced
r?on them by his Excellency. especially in those por-
'ipts Of his letter which intimate q former readiness,
an his part, TO precipitate the dire consequences OF o
evolutionary dissolution Of the Union, based upon
the Constitutional election Of q candidate uuacoepta.
IS 70 The South, The avowal of such q purpose, We
Confess. has inspired us with regret, especially as pro
cesdinS from a statesman Of Gov. Wise's eminence,
and whose devotion to the Union we but recently took
occasion TO commend ~ undoubtsd. and in this regret
OF ours We have reason to believe that the great mass
of his friends, as we'll In Virginia az lssvhere. will be
f,ccd sincerely 70 share.
