The Recent American Gold Panic.
From the London YelcHaph, oct. IT..
We will not say that gambling very simj-
lar IN kind, is at all uncommon among ourselves
but 1t would certainly be difficult TO match the
American specimen in degree. Let 1t be admitted
at once that mania for speculation is almost rs
| widespread as the mania for sport. The stOid
Dutch once went mad after tulips England has hld
her South Sea bubble ana her railway mania to say
nothing of more recent eXcesses; and the canny
citizens Of ST. MungO have periodical fits Of lunacy
of apropos pig warrants" Almost anything will
