The BLocKADE.-The attempt to induce the
English Government to raise the blockade of the
Southern ports was most efecsually put down
in Parliament the 18th inst. MIR. Gregory moved
for copy of the correspondence relating to the
subject. and in support of his motion made a
lengthy speech expressing his sympathy with
the South. He was answered completely and
fully by Mr.. Foster, and after some further dis
cussion the motion was negatived without a d.
vision. This action sets that question at rest.

duty Of all good citizens to bow to the voice

HALL VS. WALLACE.


The candidates for the State Senate are now
before the people. The Hon. Louis W. Hall,
of Blair county, is the candidate on one side
and VIM. A. Wallace, Esq, of Clearfeld on
the other.
Mr.. Hall has been our member during the
past three years,-the latter part of the time
being Speaker of that body. And the duties
OF his office were discharged with an ability
and success that won the applause of men of
all parties. He has been exceedingly prompt
and faithful to his constituents in the perform
ance of his public duties, and his whole polit-
ical course has been that of an earnest and
true Union man. He is one of those who be-
lieve that this rebellion is to be crushed only
by strong and heavy blews, and the quicker
the better. He therefore has been and still is
disposed to give the government every sup
port, and encourage 1t in the use OF every
means that is calculated to accomplish that
object. Let every voter who is at home on
the day Of election and who wishes for spec
dy triumph of our national government to the
utter rout of treason and rebellion 90 to the
polls and work and vote for Hall.
Mr.. Wallace the opposing candidate is a
member of the Breckenridge wing of the De-
mocracy. He is one of small number of
Breckinridge politicians of whom Elk. Senator
Bigler is the head and chief that control the
Democratic party of Clearfield county. The
position of the whole of them, Mr.. Wallace
among the rest, for years back, on all public
questions, so far as any body in this latitude
can see, has been identical with that of Mr..
Bigler. Mr.. Wallace is one of those who re-
fused to endorse Gov. Packer after the Gov
ernor like Douglas lad turned his back on the
Lecompton swindle. His votes in Convention,
are on record and will show for themselves
de has always been strict party politician
and We have no reason to believe that ever he
voted for any body outside of his own party
lines. 1t would be with but ill grace that he
or his friends could ask any one outside of
his party to vote for him. But Mr.. Wallace is
just the candidate to suit those who stand on
the platform and hold the views of F.. W.
Hughes, the Chairman of their State Commit.
tee but We do not think that either of them
is the kind of politician the people need at
the present time.

FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTEs.-
The Directors of the Bank of England have
met with a serious reverse. Hitherto, their
great protection against the ingenuity of the
forger has been the popularity in the manu-
facture of their paper-a popularity which
has hitherto defied imitation. Various as have
been the attempts to initiate this paper, it has
never been successful, for spurious Bank of
England note could always be detected by the
quality Of the paper alone-that is, detected
by all who are accu stoned to the handling of
the notes. Finding that they could not sue
cessfully make this pager. the forgers have
had recourse to more simple mode of pro-
curing it-they have stolen large quantity,
some say several tons, from the Banks mills.
and there is great CONSERVATION in Thread
needle street. The robbery was only brought
to light by the great number of forged notes
in circulation, which so like the real thing
that the most experienced in snch matters
have been imposed upon. even practised CASH
iers and others long accuatomed to the hand
ling of notes. When the painful fact was sat.
isfactorily established, the Bank Directors i'm
mediately issued a reward of FL 500 for the
discovery OF the thieves and forgers, of which
t5OO is to be paid for the detection of the pa
per-steaers, and FL 900 to those who can trace
out the persons using the paper in the print
ing Of forged notes. Bankers, money-chan
gers, and others are urged in the same an
nouncement to exercise the utmost vigilance
in the receiving of Bank of England notes,
ana are requested to note the name and ad-
dress of the persons from whom they receive
bhem. The robbery in question is very se-
rious affair both at home and abroad, and its
consequences may be most disastrous unless
the culprits are detected and brought to JUS
tice. In every European city, and even on
the continent of America, this robbery win
cause CONSERVATION.
