There is no possible subject of dissertation
BY the press Of England or this country, which
has been 80 much handled rs the Credit Mo-
bilier, the new and anomalous hnanclai
scheme Of France. It's explosion and utter
ruin have been predicted week by week for
the last three years. aud it has been twenty
times over shown TO be utterly irreconcisble
with all the principles Of finance admitted to
be sound or toierabic. But this scheme still
lives and furnishes, and Its shares are almost
one hundred per cent. above par to-day
Our Paris correspondent reports them as rap.
idly rising now to 1000 francs, the share, 500
francs being the par. Immense profits were
paid by the concern in 1854 and 1855, and
the shares then rose 10 nearly twice their
present value. 1t has been dealing in almost
every form of Investment and Of enterprise
-railroads, mining, and improvement: COM
panies being the principal, however, and
those on which the greatest profits have been
made.

A sanguinsry Engagement.

We have already chronoIed the murder of
W. W. Smith, a merchant 10 Ouachita, Miles,,
by one T.. Ward, which occurred q few days
since. The murderer fed, but was arrested
in a tavern at Woodville, Miss, where the
landlord discovered him, and sent for posse
Of men to effect his capture. The Ouachita
Herald says:
After retiring to his room, be see med to
sus pect that all thlngs were not right, and
spoke of leaving. The landlord presented
q dou BILE barrel gun, and told him II ne un-
Gertuok to leave his room he would certainly
fire on him. Soon alter this (about ten O'Clock
at night Mr.. R,dwine and his men came up.
Ward said to Tatuu that he would like to
consult with the men-T. assuring him
tha, if be would submit to an arrest he should
cot be hurt, he seemed to acquiesce.
The party proceeded to enter the room.
Ward pretended to be taken by surp rise, said
quickly What's thar" and comm esced fir.
ing his pistol. at the crowd, woundiog MIR. }.
+. Walker in the neck aud killing Mr.. } Bar
mes, by shooting him through the heart, him
self receiving only one wound 10 the arm by
a pistol fred by Redwine. Ward continued
firing ill all his pistols were discharged, then
drew his bowie knife and rushed to the door,
when he was shot down BY Mr.. Tstum. 10
the melee the lights were put out. The dead
and wounded of Rcdwine's party were drawn
out of the room, the door closed and the room
guarded for several hours, it not being known
to what extent Ward was disabled. 1t was
eventually determined to introduced light
into the room, that his condition might be
seen. To shiS end q light was let down the
chimney, by which be was seen weltering in
his owe blood, with PISTOLS in hand, which be
had succeeded in reloadng while in that
condition. There lay the demon, apparently
determined to sell his arrest or his lite al the
greatest possible cost to others. lie was now
appealed to and assured that they were deter
mined to take him, dead or alive; but that
they had no inclination to do him further bod
lily harm, but on the contrary, would do ell
they could to relieve his physical suffering, if
he would disarm himself; whereupon be threw
his weapons from him, when the physicians
who were in attendance upon those wounded
by himself, ministered to his wants, by dres-
sing bis wounds He was found very severe
ly, though tits thought DOT mortally wounded.
IL was the design OF his csptors tu take him
