THE FAILURE OF THE BROOKLYN CENTRAL
BANK,

The suspension on Tuesday of the Central
Bank OF Brooklyn has affected large number Of bust
men, and the matter Is still the absorbing theme OF
conversation. The President Mr.. John X. Pruyn,
acknowledges that the present embarrassment is due to
his unfortunate operations in Stocks for which he used
the banks funds In December 1863, he bought nearly
5000 shares OF the stock Of the Pacific Mail steamship
Company at rates ranging from "a to 49, anticipating
rise which, however, did not occur, but tumble took
place instead and has continued, causing him to lose
about 100000 OF the banks money Mr.. Pruyn has
made his entire property valued at f35OO, and 1t
il believed that depOs0rs will have their losses made
for which the bank IL liable is about 100000 and, as the
bank had notes in circulation, this constitutes MS
principal liabilities to which there estimated
assets amounting about $4,000 Among the principal
depositors Brooklyn City Sl62000; Kings County,
sI6S OO Hugh Mclaughlin $1,000; Water Board, S23 600
A fun statement of the condition of the institution is
promised in a few days.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons ::

Gentlemen of the House of Commons: /
thank you for the liberal provisions made by
you for the ordinary service of the year, and
for the additional supplies of men and money
voted, in view of the altered circumstances Of
the continent. The revenue gives promise TO
meet the new changes thus created without
revising the proper balance CT the revenue
and expenditure. The act for the suppression
of agrarian crime, and to maintain order in
Ireland, has answered its purpose thus far
From the act regulating the occupation of
land anticipate the restoration of peaceful
relations between the landlord and tenant, and
of confidence and benevolence. Legislation
duly protecting life and property hope now
is more easy, and | rely on the loyalty and
affection of my Irish subjects.
have been pleased to concur in the bill
for national education in England; the new
guaranty for the moral and social weil-being
for the nations prosperity and power; the
naturalization act, and that for the extradi-
ton of criminals, tend to strengthen our
friendly relations with other powers. The
act regulating enlistment for short times,
hope will increase the efficiency of the forces,
promote the welfare of our soldiers, and
provide for the nation a reserve, well trained
in arms, and ready on an emergency TO re-
turn TO their standards. | bid you farewell
for recess, with an earnest prayer, that
when again summoned, l may rejoice with
you on the re-establishment of peace in
Europe.

The Court.


The jury in the case State V. Thomas II.
Springer, committed to them the previous
evening, brought in verdict of guilty. The
County Attorney having no further business
for them, the jurors were discharged. No
sentence was imposed this term in any case
upon the criminal docket. Questions of law
were raised in every case where convictions
were had by the jury, but in most Of them
probably the exceptions will be adjudged by
the full court frivolous and intended for de-
lay. In such cases it is in the power of the
County Attorney, under recent statute, to
obtain final decision in season to have sem
fences imposed at the October term. The
fines and costs in liquor prosecutions paid in
in cases finally disposed of at the May Law
Term amount to two hundred and fifty dollars.
A divorce from the bonds of matrimony
was decreed to George d. Bacon from his
wife Judith Bacon, for desertion. McFadden

Speech of the Queen Upon the Occasion
of the Propagation of Parliament.
LONDON, Aug. 10.

LONDON, Aug. ~.
The following is the Queens speech deliv.
cred to-day by the Royal Commission, upon
the occasion OF the propagation of Parliament:
my Lords and gentlemen The state of
public business enables me to release your at
attendance upon Parliament. / continue to
receive formale foreign powers assurance Of
their good will and friendship, but / have
witnessed with grief and great pain on both
domestic and foreign grounds, the recent out
break of war between two powerful nations
allied to this country.
My best exertions have been used to arrest
the great calamity. / shall now direct con-
slant and anxious attention to a strict observ-
ance of the duties and rights of neutrality. l
have cheerfully assented to measures matured
by your wisdom to enlarge the powers of the
Executive, not only for the discharge of inter-
national duties, but for the preservation of
acts injurious TO the interests of this country.
l shall make every fitting endeavor to check
the operation of the causes leading to the en-
largement of the area of the conflict, and shall
contribute if opportunity offers to the restora-
ton of early and honorable peace. l have
rendered to the belligerent powers treaties
identical in form, which will give additional
security to Belgium against the hazards OF
war on her frontier. The treaty has been
signed by Count Bunstaff for the North Ger
man Confederation and the French Envoy
has signifed that he has authority to sign
corresponding instrument, and the receipt OF
full power therefrom. Other powers, parties
to the treaty of 1889, have been invited, and
they are likely to accede to the engagement.
The shocking murders in Greece have pro-
duced painful impression in Europe. and
have drawn attention to the serious evils ex-
listing in that country.
My unremitting efforts will be directed to
secure complete and searching inquiry into
the facts.

GENERAL HOWARD.

Heed not their SANDERS OH beloved of all
Who honor courage truth, and loyalty.
Harmlessly at thy feet their shafts shall fall
Kecoiling from the shields that shelter thee.
Thy triple shields-the nations grateful love;
Thine own clear conscience, void of all offence;
And, better still, all earthly guards above,
The God who is His servants sure defence.
Art thou not bucklered well? What harm can
reach
One precious the apple of His eye?
Let not the serpent's hiss, the scorner's speech,
Grieve thee, or wiring from thy brave heart one
sigh
Is not his promise sure, to make thy way
Brighter and brighter to the perfect day
