JoHN H1cKNAN's GREAT SPEEcH.-The press
is enthusiastic in its encomiums upon the late
speech of Mr.. Hickman, of Pennsylvania,
upon the present condition of our national
politics. The New York 7ribune's cores
pendent says:
MIR. Hickman's speech yesterday, upon
the existing relations between the North and
South upon slavery, is deemed one of the
ablest of the session. He boldly charged the
South as being the constant aggressor, and
the Democ, attic party of the North as having
constantly yielded. His denunciation of Mr..
Buchanan and his Administration was most
terrific. His terse, pungent sentences, went
home with a will. He announced the doctrine
of 'irrepressible' conflict now going on be-
tween free and slave labor, in language quite
as forcble as any ever used by either Mr..
Seward or Mr.. Calhoun. His closing remarks
were highly eloquent and patriotic, consisting
of beautiful tribute to the genius of our
institutions, glowing description of what
progress had been made under them, sna a
vivid picture Of the brilliant future in store
for our country if we are true to the
principles Of our fathers At the close, his
friends thronged about him with hearty
congratulations, and tonight many Rcpubli.
cans are willing to tender him the nomination
for the Presidency or VIC Presidency at

The LONDON UNION BANK RosBER.-The
amount stolen from this Bank by VIM. G.
Pullinger, Cashier, was $1,aoo,Ooo. The
Union Bank kept its accounts with the Bank
of England. Pullinger had two pass books
one the real book, which was sent every day
to the Bank Of England, the other false one,
which was shown to the accountant of the
Union Bank. At the time the defalcation
was discovered the balance standing to the
credit Of the Union Bank according to the
false book was 1856, 706, while the real book
only showed balance Of 9s0e, Goethe
difference being the amount appropriated by
the Cashier. This statement is true Is it is
extraordinary. It shows . negligence and
want OF vigilance ON the part Of the directors,
which is almost incredible.

The first piece Of news sent over it was
the nomination Of James K. Polk for

trio Wire would be interviewer with our

run by electricity. Thieves are caught
BY electricity. Watches are set and
clocks strike by electricity. Fire bells
are rung by electricity. Armies march
and fleets sail at its bidding. Treaties

bred barrels, there selling grain by the
thousand bushels, arranging for feasts

gains, for the harmonies of conven-
ton, for law-making, for law breaking,
the fall of Empires and the fall of the
