A week or so ago several communications
appeared in this paper, complaining Of the
want OF information among the mass of Our
citizens respecting the provisions Of the bills
passed by the Legislature, granting a new
charter to this city, and authorizing the con-
neZlon of the Manassas Gap and Winchester
and Potomac Railroads. In response to the
authors Of these concentrations we have to
say that owing to unavoidable circumstances,
the Gazette has up to this time been unable
from It's size to contain, in addition to the cuI-
rent and local news ct the day, such all addl-
tlOnai amount OF matter as is contained IN The
New Charter; and that q copy Of the railroad
conoeyiOn bill, being short, was published as
soon as it was received. Norarc our Delegates
in the Legislature are ali to blame in the MAJ
ter. Every member in the House Of Delegates
is furnished WITH but one copy of each bill, and
when they require ~more-unless they are 50
fortunate as to be plentifully supplied with
money, which happy condition is the lot Of
but few IN Virginia noW-they have to depend
on the kindness and courtesy CT other members
We understand that about thirty copies Of the
New Charter, were obtained in tits manner b.
by our Representatives in the Legislature: and
distributed to the commissioners Of the election
to be held Tomorrow; as they were supposed to
be the persons ruost likely to disseminate their
contents. With regard to the bill allowing
RI. railroad cnunpyinn. we are informed that
the resolution in which torn it first came up
in the Legislature was removed FROM the
House, hurried through the Senate, in the
form Of bill. and presented for the 1inal action
Of the House of Delegates: ont two or thrre
days before its passage.

from the special committee to which the sub
iect was referred, made report upon the bill,

Alexandria, and Georgetown Railroad Com
many. together with Il communication from a
committee Of the Board Of Trade of the Dis

massage of the latter bill, and asking that &C
fioo he deferred upon this till until an OPP
n~ortunity be given to the citizens Of expressing
their views upon a matter OF such vital impor-
lance to the interests of w ashingron."
The committee state thar, Notwithstanding
this report has 1een 50 long deferred, no re-
monstrance has been received by them except
from the Board Of Irade, and a lew individuals.
They then reviewed the whole subject IN the
various aspects presented, adding thereto the
customs and experience Of other cities.
Horse cars passing through streets are not
free from peril, as has recently been abundantly
prOyed. locomotives at four miles an hour
are as manageable as horsepower. A train OF
cars with one locomotive is more easily man
aged than detached cars drawn by several
horses. .One man can stop an engine, but can
MOI control eight horses.
At Rochester, n. Y, engines at the head
Of trains pass aud repass their principal
thoroughtares at the rate OF thirty miles an
hour.
The committee report favorably to the rail
road travel, with some additional amendments
to furnish all necessary safeguards.
The bill is ordered TO be published with the
proceedings, and made the special order tor
next Monday evening.

The following extract from speecn
made by Henry A. Wise at Richmond on
the anniversary of StoneWall Jackson's
death, the Express prophecies this paper

ton. for, whatever sensible Northern
people NAV think of Wise, he is repre-
sentative, somewhat exaggerated, OF the
men of a certain class at the South, and
therefore the extract is worth reading
The difference between them is, that he
ssvs openly, in an extravagant way, what

Is Evidence that he is not alone in hoping
thai there vet may be 3 second revolution,
more successful than the first, and wild As
that hope is, it is well enough to know

A FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
PANIC IN ENGLAND.

The foreign financial and commercial
intelligence brought by the steamer Cuba
last evening, reporting E universal panic
in the English markets, the details of
which will be found in our telegraph col
umns, is of them most profound significance,
and cannot fail to cause serious uneasiness,
| If not alarm, to the business community
of this country. A financial revulsion in
England has been for sometime regarded,
in well-informed financial circles, as BY
no means an impossible event, but crisis
Of so universal and sweeping character
Is Is indicated by the Cuba's dispatches
could not have been anticipated. What
the immediate causes of this state Of
things are, future intelligence must de-
yelop; but it is safe to attribute it mainly
to the speculative mania which for the
past four years has permested nearly
every branch of trade in that country not
less than in this, and the attempt to re-
cover from which has developed degree
Of rottenness unparalleled in financial or
commercial history. A remote cause may
also doubtless be found in the losses sus-
tanned by those who aided the rebellion
by money and material, receiving little
more therefor than the paper certificates
for so much cotton in the event of the
success of the confederacy.
The feature Of this news, however
which viii perhaps command the largest
interest here, is the announcement of the
failure of Sir Morton Peto,-an event that
viii surprise every one who knew any
thing of the man, while it will at the
same time awaken, we cannot doubt, sin
eere regret and sympathy.
His liabilities are stated to be four mil
lions sterling, equal to about twenty mil
lions dollars. It is fair to presume that
the interests in this country with which
Sir Morton was identified will suffer to
some extent by this most unexpected turn
in his affairs, but how far cannot of course
be now estimated.
The effect of the panic upon our mar
kets cannot but be of decided character.
Five-swenties closed nominal in London
on the 18th at eo@e5, and railway securi-
ties suffered heavy decline 1t is esti-
mated that English capitalists hold fifty
millions of Hve-twenties, and these will
probably be returned Immediately. Mean
time all demand for cotton and produce
will cease. This combination of adverse
Influences must of necessity force up the
gold premium, while it will prolong the
period of specie exports. If, however, it
does nothing more than this there viii be
no cause of complaint, but it cannot be
concealed that there are greater difficulties
to be apprehended.

Mr. seHard.


The course Of Mr.. Seward through the
war is thus described by the Chiesgo
Tribune: cd -l o q
Mr.. Seward has been the Mephistopheles
of the Government through tho war. Be-
fore Mr.. Lincoln's accession in 1861, he
made speech in New York exto.ling the
virtues Of the noble South Garofinians
who were throwing up earthworks around
Major Anderson, predicting that sthe
days. Next we find him authorizing
Harvey to communicate the military and
naval plans of the Government to the
rebels in Charleston. Shortly afterWard
he writes to all our Ministers abroad that,
whatever may be the issue Of the war not
q slave viii be freed BY it. Then hes sends
special communication to Mr.. Adams
that the war is waged for territory exclu-
sively, and this dispatch furnishes the
basis Of Earl Russels speech, which gave
such offence in thia country, declaring
that the war was carried on for empire on
the one side and for dominion on the
other. 1T is little surprising that Ar.
Bancroft. in adverting to this speech Of
fba noble Lord, should have forgotten that
| it was delivered shortly altar Mr.. Sewards
dispatch reached London Things went
on in this Mephistophelian way till Mr.
Seward wrote dispatch to Mr.. Adams
concerning the unpstFiotic efforts Of, dis
unionists, both North and South, to pre-
vent the rs-establishment of peace. The
war was then at its height. The battls Of
Antstam had Just been fought. The Pres
ident was Vainly endeavoring to over
| come the inertia of Mcclellan, and to IN
duce him to carry the war to the Virginia
| sids of the Potomac, and Mcclellan was.
| replying to all the appleals made to him,
| that his horses had sore tongues and could
not manage their forage The aisunion-
lists Of the North, who were inveighed
against Mr.. Seward were obviously these
| who were jealous for pushing on the war,
and in this category Mr.. Lincoln himself
was the foremost. -, & ~
