~ The gale of Saturday morning was severe
in Boston Among the effects of it was the final
collapse Of the Coliseum, At about half-past
eight O'Clock it yielded to the gale and is now a

An English writer has been inspired
by the late Wall street panic, to write
an article for the London Economist,
under the caption of THE Incredible
powers of the American Chancellor OF
Exchequer." The writer states what
is manifestly true, that under the
greenback system, Mr.. Boutwell, has the
bower to make the price Of gold what he
pleases, as we'll as the rate of interest.
The Economist argues as follows:
The large daily receipts OF the Gus
toms are paid in gold, and if that gold
is kept IN the Treasury and not sold,
the price of gold can be raised as high
as the Government likes. Again, If the
Government first accumulate large
stock of gold, and then sell it for green
backs, it can raise the rate of interest
as high as it wishes. There is no money
at New York but "greenbaeks," and by
selling gold and keeping the paper paid
for that gold, money can be made
scarce at will. The Government is now
going to do so; but they are going &c
sell gold and buy bonds with the money
but they could do it, and it Is the most
extraordinary power ever conferred OF
any government. No finance minister
in Europe ever was the financial despoi
that Mr.. Boutwell, is in America.

From the New York Sun, October 70

From the New York Sun, October2 u.
Meanwhile the mother of the fnancet
had hastily dispatched to London an
intimate friend to ascertain all he could
of Ainsley, his family, reputation, and
to seek for a confirmation of the elsb-
crate tales he had told of his house at
the West End, coach and four, servants,
and position. The friend arrived safely
in London, and at once started upon his
errand.
1t was learned, on the best and most
trustworthy authority, that the lord
was no lord at all; that he was gam
bier, frequenter of low places, and, in
a word, an adventurer. He is not
known at all IN London fashionable
circles, and if he ever was, Is now un-
recognized. His mother, who died a
few years ago, was second rate actress
in Berlin theater, and his father at
present is engaged in the livery stable
business in the lowest part of the city
of London. Ainsley's right name is Rad
ford, and as aaralct to wealthy French
gentleman in Paris, acquired his educa.
tion-an education which has so assisted
him in palming himself upon the too
credulous American people.
Upon gaining this sintelligence, which
she had anticipated, Mrs. Martin at
once forbade Ainsley ever entering her
house again, and annulled the engage
ment between him and her daughter.
The scene is described as having been
very stormy, during which the discard.
ed Romeo exhibited the utmost cool
ness. Ainsley contrived, however, to
meet the young lady at various times
and places, who had net ceased to love
him Notwithstanding the astonishing
disclosures that had come to light,
stamping him as an impostor, and the
wedding day was decided upon. ltwas
agreed that the marriage should be
clandsstine. Cards were issued and
all the preparations made, and
upon Miss Martin expressing her
determination to wed "her dear
Hubert" in spite of everything and
every body, the foolish girl was discard
ed by her mother and her relations,
with the exception of an aunt, at whose
house up town the marriage was SOL
emnized. The wedding occurred, and
was followed by an English wedding
breakfast, of which all the assembled
company partook. Several respectable
New Workers were present ct the cere-
mony, who at that time did not know
the character Of their host-Dick Rad
ford
Little remains to be said, and we re-
frain from all remarks and comments.
1t was An unfortunate affair, and has
brought sorrow and disgrace upon an
estimable and highly respectable family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Radford are now
in Philadelphia, and will probably
never return to New,York society.
