Financial Crisis in England.

The financial news by the steamer
Cuba, which arrived at Halifax yester-
day, with Queenstown dates to the 18th
instant, is of great Importance.
A panic had seized tho London mo-
ey market, prevailing equally on
Thursday and Friday, the 10th and
llth. Universal CONSERVATION and dis
trust were felt The alarm was more
general than at any time since the me-
morally disastrous year of 1925 Many
failures are reported among them
those of Peto q Belts, the head of the
firm being the well known railway CAPT.
taligt, who recently visited this country;
Overland, and the Consolidated Dis
count Company. There were runs on
many other banking houses. The Gov
eminent authorized the Bank of Eng
land to issue five million pounds Of ad.
ditional notes. The rate of discount
was raised by the Bank to nine, and
subsequently to ten per cent, and the
greatest discrimination was made, only
special applications being favorably
considered. There was a decline in
cotton of from Id to Id q pound Five
twenties fell four and half per cent,
closing at last adVices at 64a65, with
nothing doing
On Saturday, the 18th, the excite
ment was somewhat allayed, and more
confidence was exhibited. The Paris
BOurse was also much excited, and an
advance in the rates of discount from
three and a half to four per cent. took
place.
The reception of the intelligence at
New York, at FIVE o'clock yesterday af-
tarnoon, occasioned an advance of one
per cent in gold. Should the Treas
ury stop selling gold, as is now prob.
able, it would rise rapidly to about 40,
which would counterbalance the de-
cline of tiYe-tWenties acknowledgements

Truth from an Unexpected Sour

Truth from an Unexpected Source.
In his address to Old School General
Assembly, in session at st. Louis, the
Moderator, Rev. Mr.. Stanton, on Thurs
day last said:
"That rebellious defiance of lawful
authority which has racked the nation
to its foundations during four Years of
war still RACES within the precincts
where it was born, the Church of God. ="
Every bOdy who has observed the
New England and other churches
North, for years past, will acknowledge
the truth Of the Reverend Stanton az.
sertion. 1t is sad truth, and tells the
old story Of the supremacy at times of
hate, envy and passion even in the
Church of God, over meekness, gentle
ness, charity, brotherly love and kind
ness. They resolved that slavery was
the great crime of the age against God
and humanity, and made that resolve
a basis for aggressive action against it
They regarded neither the Constitution
nor the laws of the United States in
their war against slavery. They set
both at defiance. They did not regard
lawful authority in dealing with the
'sin Of sius" There was, according to
their teachings, a higher law" on that
subject than the Constitution of the
United States and the laws made in
pursuance thereof-and that higher
law was Of their own Imagining, not
from the hand of God. The 'rebeID on"
that "racked the nation to it's FONDA
ton during four years of war y a. born
and bred in the Church of G cd !" The
Reverend Stanton has said il SoIetit
be recorded .-CfH. Era.

Freedmen's Bureau-- Circular from
Gen. Howard.
WASHINGTON, bay 2I.-Gen. Howard
to-day issued the following circular
CIRCULAR NO. 4.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
BUREAU R, +. AND A. L.,
WASHINGTON. Nav d 1866

WASHINGTON, May q, 1866.
In order to answer numerous in
quiries from officers, agents and others,
and if p0ssiDl prevent misUnderstsnd-
ing with regard TO change of organiza-
ton is this Bureau, this circular is is
sued. =
FirsE-The Comrnissioner reoe.a
mcaded soma time since that To func-
tons Of the military commander Of the
State and Assistant Commissioners be
performed by the same oficeE, wher-
ever practicable, this ID beIns effected,
as In Virginia and Mississippi.
It's not done in COZ 1emration of
the Assistant Commissioners, who have
labored hard Gn& successfully, but to
secure the more prompt enforcement
OF administration than can otherwise
be done.
Soc5pd--Ibe Commissioner calls at
teution Of all officers officially to the
reports in circulation as to the acts Of
severity and cruelty toward freedmen
on their part.
As 10 the CaTelessness in returning
their monthly accounts and other Of
lenses every officer or agent already &C
cuscd shall have the opportunity of
thorough yinGication before court
martial, but the occasion for such trials
are to be deprecated, and they must be
forestalled by thorough system of in
specuOn and a prompt removal Of eV-
cry unfaithiul officer.
Third. Special attention is again
called to the difficult duty of caring for
the INDECENT, Where intense anxiety
prevails to get rid of the Bureau, sure
" State ana County officers will make
some arrangement to relieve the Gen
eral Government of this expense. If
the County officers viii adopt measures,
the Government farms which are now
so much complained of can be dispen-
sed with.
In order to meet an emergency in
which the whole system of labor was
deranged, the Commissioner urged the
forming of joint companies for the en-
couragement of the immigration of
those accustomed to free labor, so as to
afrod promptly as many examples as
possible Of the successful employment
of negroes under a free system. APP
parentIy in keeping with these regula-
tons, few officers have invested their
own means, with citizens, in the plant
inc interest l know OF no law, or reg
ulation of the army or of this Bureau
against this, yet it viii almost inevita-
bly, lead 20 corruption. It has already
to bitter accusations. Hereafter such
Investments, within their own jurisdic-
ton, by officers on duty IN this Bureau,
are strictly prohibited.
