Failure of Cnnudn Banks.

The suspension and smash up of the Inter
national and Colonial Banks at Toront pro-
duced no little excitement among the Cana
dians as well as ut several points on this side
the Lakes. Both were organized under char
ters granted by the Canadian Parliament, but
the managers, the Globe says, were strangers in
Toronto, if not in Canada. Their notes were
refused at the Custom-house and by the other
banks, and they were taken in trade at first to
slimited extent. Specie was of course, prompt
ly paid for them on demand. In process of
time, greater confidence was felt in the stability
of the institutions, and their notes passed free
ly from hand to hand, although not avsilable
for banking purposes. When they burst up
the people held about $500, 600 of these worth
less notes.
The officers Of tho International Bank left
the United States before it was generally known
that the Bank had suspended Bill holders
then turned their attention 10 the Colonial
Bank. The rush was so great that the police
had to be cllledin and the redemption of notes
went on for two hours when the pile gave out.
The next day few thousand dollars of the
100000 out wero redeemed, when the bank
took advantage of the provision allowing a
suspension of payment for sixty days without
violating its charter
OF late large amounts of the notes of the
International and Colonial Banks had been
paid out in Canada for wheat, and the issues
of the International have been quite extensive
ly circulated in Detroit, as also in Berricn Co,
Michigan, and other points on the line of the
Central Road in the purchase of wheat Both
the broken banks had obtained considerable
circulation in Buffalo, through the advertise
ments of private bankers. They thus helped
the swindle on. The Express suggests some
legislation on the subject, and its remarks ap
ply to Ohio as well as in New York 1t says:
We want law compelling bankers who have
advertised TO redeem notes of this character to
continue their redemption for certain term,
say six months, after the expiration of their
advertisement; or for a certain term, say three
months, after they have given public notice of
their intention to cease the redemption they
have undertaken. Such law would do much
to prevent these swindles, and we cannot see
that there is either reason for obiecting to its
passage, or chance Of evading its provisions.

Second Kentucky Chivnlry Demonstration
The Newport mob issucd a second edition
Saturday. They held meeting and carried out
their threat "that if the Office of the Free South
was not removed Immediately they would move
il by force" At the meeting, which was held
at the Court House, Col. Jones offered resolu
ton contemplating nOn-oOton against the press
of the Free South. II was discussed somewhat,
when a Mr.. Piner moved to strike out that part
which recommended non action. The Cincin-
cinnai Gazette says.
This motion prevailed when some one in the
crowd moved that the office be removed to Gin
cinnati, which was carried by large majority
The crowd then started TO the printing office,
some three squares distant. BY the time they
reached the place, theirnumbeIs were increased
to some one hundred and fifty. Mr. Bailey ap-
peared at one of the windows and demonstrated
with tho mob, at the same time stating that
the columns Of his paper we're open 10 all who
felt themselves aggtieved. The leader of the
mob informed him that the best thing he could
do was to open the door, and allow them TO re-
move the goods and no harm would be done
| to him or his family. This he refused to do /;
wheroupon some one procured piece of scant-
/ llhBf WIN NhiIh hhty haAttANu Aho Nuoi bptlAs
The house was then entered, and all the print
ing material carried down stairs and placed in
a wagon.
They then endeavored to get the press down
stairs, but were foied in their efforts by its
getting fast in the stairway, where they left it..
| About this time one of the girls procured a
bucket filled with yellow ochre, which sho
scattered over the crowd nearest the house.
This seemed to have a moving effect for they
Immediately left with their plumber and proceed

they had no sooner reached the wharf than they
changed their mind and threw everything into

attempted TO stop this, but their efforts were
without avail A Ameeting was afterwards held,
and committee of fifty appointed whose duty
it is TO see that the Free South shall not be re-
established in Newp.rt.

Il is said TO be capable Of clear proof that Mr.
Rice, the mulatto, stolen from Mt Gilesd last
week under pretenoe that he was slave, hur-
red 10 Cincinnati and into Kentucky without
tho shadow Of fair eramination, was free
man. Tho witnesses Com Newhall would not
permit tho counsel Of Rice 10 cross examine,
swore that ho escaped from Virginia about iiyo
years ago, and there is evidence 10 prove that
Rice has been a resident for eight years Of the
vicinity from which ho was spirited away A
brother-in.law Of Rice says he has known him
for eight years, and that he has been married
in this State six years. The witnesses before
Newhall testified that Rice escaped from slave
ry in December, 1854, not quito five years ago.
IL will bo rccoected that U s. Commissioner
Newhall refused to allow witnesses to be called
for the defense. az well as those for the claimant
to be cross.examined. In any other county
such an unjust judge would not bo permitted to
longer soil the omino.

"Pleaso show TO Messrs. Sanborn. Lawrence,

who found money, and Governor Fletcher, who
contributed arms, and TO others interested, as
quickly as possible"
The New York Herald publishes this memo.
raRdURI, aud says that it preiaces letter nd
dressed by Hugh Forbes, who was with John
Brown in Kansas and on the border in 1857, TO
DR.. s. g. Howe OF Boston, dated May IA, 1858.
In this letter Forbes gave an account of his
own schemes for running of negroes and of
Browne plans for stirring up insurreetion,
The pro-saveTy press, eager to implicate Re-
publican lenders in the insurrectionary move
ment of old Brown, have seized on the memo
randum said to be endorsed in this letter as
evidence that Governor Chrse was apprisod Of
Browns designs by receipt of the copy sent
him, and that he furnished money for the at
tempt
1t seems superlluous to contradict imputa-
tiOns like these. No man who knows Governor
Chase will give the slightest credit 60 them
To take away, however, all excuse for repeating
them, il may be worth while 10 say that there
is not the slightest foundation for either impu.
tion. No cory Of the letter Published in the
Herald was ever sent TO Gov. Chase; at least no
copy Of any such letter was ever received by
him lIe received no intimatiOn from any
source or at any time OF any purpose ON tho
part of Forbes to run of negroes, or on the
part OF Brown to excite insuHection among the
slaves, As TO his finding money. it is enough
to say that in 1855 Q, while the contest for free
dom in Kansas against the attempts to force
slavery into that territory was undecided, Coy
chase, in common with his fellow citizens in this
and other States, contributed according TO his
ability in aid Of the Free State cause For no
other purpose with which old Brown was con.
neetei was any money ever "found" or furnished
by him.
| We make these statements upon the author
lily of the Governor himself and trust that tho N .
Y Herald, and other papers which have given
currency 10 tho imputations, will give caual
prominence TO this contradiction of them.

The N. Y Hsraldis great on "maro's nests "
II gave out few days ago a solid page Of
Forbes Disclosurea, - insinuating that Senator
Seward, Senator II ale, Gov Chase, Gov. Fletch-
or, aud other distinguished Republicans were
implicated in the plan of Capt. John Brown to
establish Provisional Government and abolish
slqvery by force and arms The telegraph has
g,y. the substance Of the Forbes Disclosures.
Tho author, Col. Forbes. is Scotch adventurer
who seems to have turned dlibustor for the pur-
pose of making living, and in 1857 went 10
Kansas to hep the Free State men. lie was
helped TO funds some $500, by friends of Kan
sas about New York, and returned after being
snsen, a few months, with complaints that he
had been deceived, mislol, swinded, family
beggared. &c Forbes became acquainted with
Brown in Kansas.
An article we copy from tho State Journal
lisposcs of the attempt of Forbes and ihe N. Y.
Herald to impieato Gov. Chase in tho Brown
movement. Senator Hale being in Chicago
whom the Herald containing the ''Forbes Dis
closures" arrived, the Editors of the Press aud
Tribune addressed him note on the subject, to
which tho following is his reply. It will be
seen that Senator Hale also efIcctualy dspoaes
of the H,ralds infamous charge.
