NORTHERN FINANCIAL CRISIS.

A correspondent from Norfolk, who has the
opportunity of reading the Northern papers,
writes follows:
The financial crisis in the North is increas-
ing. There will be a break down soon that
will throw the great Mississippi bubble" in the
shade The banks Of New York have a capital
(total 81 banks in the city) of Of 9,493, ,579.
They have loaned the Government ST., 500, 600.
Thus YOU will see the New York banks have
loaned the Government S3, O06, ,423 more than
their capital No wonder a crisis is imminent!
In the Legislature at Harrisburg, Penn, there
was a caucus in which forty Democrats
refused to go with the Government. There
were only seven Union Democrats. Mr. Gal

1t will be remembered that we published
the official letter Of Commander Lynch to the
Government giving the details of the wrecking
of the Proney and the rescue of the crew; and
it will also be remembered thatin this detailed
account only bare mention was made of the
services Of Col. Sngletary, but as will be seen
from the following letters the facts are leaking
out despite that very strange report. Below
we present letters from the Vice Consul OF
France at Norfolk and n. de Fontanges. com
1nander Of the Proney, to Col Sir glttary, from
which the public may judge as to who is en-
titled to the lions share of the glory of saving
14O Frenchmcn from the sharks:
NORFOLK, Jan. I'd, 1862.
Sir: have the honor of addressing you
the present official communication in regard to
the kind treatment received at your hands by
the officers and crew of the French Corvette
''Proney," wrecked on Monday morning, 4th
November, at Ocracoke Inlet, n. c.; also in
regard to your cool, unsurpassed bravery, un
fiinching energy and most noble bearing, on the
occasion. You will please accept, sir, MY
heartfelt thanks as well as those of the officers
of the 'Proney" for your hospitality TO them
in their hour of distress.
have also the honor of sending you here
encloseu a letter from the commander de Fon-
tangcs, which he wrote at the "Atantic Hotel
few hours prior to his departure. | would
have sent it sooner but fearing that you
might not receive it, as you are liable to be
sent from post to another, deemed it
prudent to keep it till could be assured Of its
being certainly receered.
1t affords me, sir, much qualification to make
mention of your noble conduct in my official
report to my Consul, and have no doubt but
that the French officers have also advised their
Admiral OF the facts in the case.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAN. Is, 1862

The Yankee nation is just now greatly exer-
cised about the prospective glory that is to ac-
cruc to them through. the operations Of the
great Burnside expedition.
They have taxed their skill at lying to the
utmost capacity of late in attempts to keep the
South from learning It's true dest'natiop so that
it might surprise ssen,e uEsuspeting locality, as
rio case Of Part -Rasa and are fKlulging
very extravagant hopes Of what it is to ac-
complish Ard well they may look to it with
Il good deal Of interest fer their salvation, in a
very great measure, depends upon its success.
If it fails to make decisive blow wherever
it does light down the Rump is gone 1t is
bankrupt now, its army is rapidly dcmorali-
zing its capitalists are growing lcud in their
demands for a cessation of hostilitics and
failure the part of Burnside to accomplish
something that will arouse and strengthen the
public confidence will prove disastrous lii the
extreme and precipitatc the breaking down of
Lincoln's mnchjne.
Where the fleet is to go of course no one can
tell but those who cortrole it, and it behoovcs
everybody to be on the alert, ready to meet it
with spirit and determination wherever it does
come Particularly should we in this 10
cality be wide awake, inasmuch this place
has been pointed to SO often as the fatal point.
Let our engineers and military directors be
active and vigorous and let orr soldiers stand
to their guns now for our all may depend up01
unslceping vigilance The Norfolk Day B0oh,
however, thinks, and it is in as favorable con-
dition to know as anybody South, that the eZ
pedition is intended to operate on the Virginia
waters in unison with McClellan's land forces.
This view is strengthened by rumors and spec
ulatons in the Northern prints alluding to the
same subject If that is the programme it is
very likely portion of the feet will come into
the Pamico Sound to menace the Of Nor
folk and engage our forces in the North East
merely to divert their attention while the main
wing will make last dying effort to raise the
blockade on the Potomac. But of course this is
all mcclure and must wait for actual de-
velopements and in the meantime hold our
selves in readiness to act our part in the drama
whenever the stage is cleared.

WAR MATTERS.

A dead calm prevails in all quarters, and
we have nothing new to report touching the
situation of pubic affairs. Some few rumors
bave been in circulation for TWO days past, OF
the landing OF the enemy at certain prominent
points. but nothing has been officially con-
lirmed and We place no faith in these vague
sensason stories The Southern armies are
waiting, with as much patience Gil cum
stances will allow, the threatened ' crushing
advance of the Lincoln columns. Confident IN
their own strength, and in the justice of their
cause, our troops will give good account OF
themselves when the day arrives

WHY PRESIDENT LINCOLN DARE NOT GIVE Up TIE
REBEL COMMISSIONERS.

From the Lcndon Telegraph, Dec 25.
A general impression prevailed at both ends
OF the metropolis yesterday that the latest in
teilgence from America wore a more peaceful
aspect and there can be no doubt that, if the
councils at Washington were governed by pure
reason and sound sense, the differences with
this country would be brought to prompt
and friendly termination Whe have however
reminded the public that the boastfu reports
and reckless projects ofthe Secretaries of War,
Navy Yard and Finance have bean adopted by
the President in the Cabinet, and avowed in
presenting them te Congress. 1t must be re-
nenbered ALSO that the democratic party is
just now supporting the present government
IN It's suicidal career, but stands ready to avail
itself of the first hlunder <or first public dis
grace. For President Lincoln to persevere
therefore, in the policy framed for him by his
Secretaries is ruin bat to recant is to pro-
claim the ruin. All this enormous war expen-
diture, this destructive tumult for the loyal"
States, this universal devastation for private
interest-all have been incurred withou one
single achievement to redeem the cost.
The army Of six hundred aud fifty thousand
has done nothing; the young Napoleon" has
not had his Waterloo and to quail at the first
word Of Cispleasure from Great Britain would
be for the successor Of Washington and of
Jackson TO incur irretrlevabIe disgrace in the
eyes of the mob. But even if they should
discern the utter hops lcssness Of their present
course, Mr.. Lincoln and his accomplices may
think to back out of it by still more wick ed
resort. The notion is that they might turn
their young Napoleon upon Great Britain in
Canada, give their army Of SIX hundred and
fifty thousand something to do before it is dis
handed, and thus, even If they scramble to a
haaty peace, Still have something Of military
deeds TO report before they wind up.

EFThe British press is very much
shocked and chagrined at the removal d
Gen. Mcclellan from the army. The
press Of Great Britain, with the aristoc-

Southern brethren, who they think fully
suited to independence. They admire
the Southern aristocracy. whose posses
sion Of slaves seems to constitute them
in the eyes Of the British gentry An actu-

regard General Lee as the pink Of per-
