BANK FAILURES IN CANADA.-Two hanks do
week, leaving the holders of their notes to
whistle after the money which these mtes rep
resented. The first that went was theInterna-
tional. 1t shut up shop last Wednesday, and
its example was followed next day BY the Co.
lonial. The aggregate amount Of the Gtstand-
ing notes of the two broken down Establish
ments is estimated at about three hundred
thousand dollars.
There was nothing in the general aspect of
trade or business to lead to the Suspension of
these banks. The community in which they
were established were enjoying high degree
of prosperity. There had been no commercial
failures, nor had the banks been known 10 have
sustained any heavy losses Of late. Fol aught
that appears to the contrary, they closed, just
as fraudulent debtors do, when they found that
they had got as much credit as they could ex-
pect to get The managers Of the one with
their carpet-bags in hand, took passage for
the American side of the Ontario without 80
much as saying "good-bye;" and the managers Of
the other went through the operation of ga rum
on its counter for couple of hours, and then
coolly announced that it could not redeem any
more of its notes.
Both these banks appear to have been of
recent growth. They were established only a
few years ago, on the same principle with
which we are unfortunately SO familiar On this
side Of the St. Lawrence. That is, charter is
procured from the Provincial Parliament by
some speculative genius, aided by lobby infu-
ences. That charter is then put up for private
sale and disposed of to the highest bidder.
Then the series of operations 80 fully described
by Mr. Cashier Jones in the Colchester Bank
case, few weeks ago, are put in practice.
Finally, after an existence Of year or two,
there is crash-the rotten fabric, having no
foundation, gives way, the public are victimized,
and new lesson is given in regard to the ease
with which public credulity can be imposed
upon by cunning fnanciers.
II is not very often that bank failures take
place in the British provinces; but in the mat
ter of banks as in other things, they are
gradually becoming inoculated with our sys-
tenn. Here the rise and sudden extinction of a
bank hardly attracts public notice. Bank
swindles are so common that we scarcely no
tice them. Still 1t mnst be confessed that II is
little to our credit if, with all our boosted
civilization, plan cannot be devised to recon.
Gle . system Of free banks with the mainte.
nance Of perfect safeguards for the public.

is really not worth quarrclng about, and that id

but an explicit declaration that General Harvey was mot
instructed to occupy the island and calm and dgniaed

The GREAT EAsrEnS.-We learn by the Nova
Scotian, which arrived at Father Point on Sat
urday morning, that meeting Of the Directors
Of the Great Eastern Company was to be held
on the 9th inst, when it was thought they
would decide definitely upon her time of sail
ing. 1t is to be hoped that they have done 80.
for ever since the explosion occurred on board
there have been various rumors aAoat which
seemed in some measure to throw doubt upon
her entire success. These reports ought to be
set at rest by some official announcement, and
we doubt not that we shall hear before long
that the monster Of the deep is in perfectly
good condition, and may be looked for in this
country during the fall.

fUDIIO INCREDUILTY ON The HARPER'S FERRY
AFFAIR. The frst Intelligence that was pub
lished Of the seizure Of Harpers Ferry by John
Brown and his eighteen followers was treated
by the community at largo as bit Of romano
ing, or at all events AZ . sample Of the highest
sort Of exaggeration. The thing was so pre-
pOster0us on its face that no one could believe
H. A riot or outbreak Of some kind there
might have been-probably strike Of the
workmen for higher wages, or something ofthat
sort--but Us to the seizure Of the United States
Armory by q band Of insurrecti0nists, rs to
stopping the trains, cutting the telegraph wires,
terrifying the bridge, holding the citizens as
prisoners of war, levying contributions upon
them, and establishing state Of siege there
why, such thing could be nothing less than q
Munchausenism Of the grossest kind. Days
elapsed after the first news before the people
began to realize the fact Of its being true in all
its main features; but since then incrcdulity
has given place to amazement that score
ofpeople could be found SO desperately sense
less as to take part in such movement.
This Is the first instance in our national
history Of q real overt act of treason
committed against the general government
Burr, to be sure, was tried for treason; but the
allegations against him went no further than to
the fact Of his having had arms collected with
the design Of seizing upon some portion Of the
Mexican territory and combining it with few
of the Southern States in an independent re-
public. Sam Houston afterward carried out
part Of the programme in eaecting the indie
pendence of Texas But here was premedi-
tated invasion Of federal territory deliberate
seizure of one of the arsenals Of the general
government, an expulsion or an imprisoning Of
the officials ofthe government, general setting
at defiance Of the laws and the establishment
ola provisional form Of government something
on the French model.
TWAS no wonder that the first intelligence of
the affair was treated as romance, or ut most
as an ordinary riot grossly exaggerated. 1t
was almost beyond belief, and yet was never
theless strictly true. Let us hope that due
punishment being melted out to the conspira-
tors, and to all who aided allotted and en-
couraged them, 1t may be long before
another attempt at insurrection is made
within the borders of our republic.
