Richmond, Va, Sept 23.-The
Merchants national, the Plstarers'
and Mechanics bank, and the frat
national bank, al Of Petersburgh,
suspended this morning. The Cit
izens bank, although not suspended,
declined payment. Rumors Of
heavy commercial failures are also
rife in that city. The banks Of Rich
mond are safe, but there is consider
able exctiment over the news from
Petersburgh.
The following Is an interesting
incident of the panic in Washing

Inc most prominent 06Po9ltoI
in the frat national bank of this
city, next to President Grant, was
Andrew Jonson. At the time OF
the failure of tbs bank, Mr.. JonsoE

If the Atlantic ocean were to be
emptied into pint cup, much of it
would spin over. A few comments
On what remains. The lectures
were good. Little attraction would
that grinning trademark" of guz-
cling on Commercial street present
to young men fed on such diet. The
people were tired from 9 day on
the dusty fair grounds, the wind
blew, it was dark, 1t looked like
rain and yet the house was filled
for three nights. On the frat even
ing the speaker talked about the
universe. He proved the identy of
specimens of iron, cobalt, manga
nese, ETC., from Venus, Jupiter and
the sun with those of our earth,
thus showing that they were all
made of the same materials. He
said that "the man in the moon"
does not live there now. He pro-
baby fell into one of those deep
craters in which the ocean boiled
dry. He then led us through the
green fields and by the shores of
the 5ottle-necked seas of Mars,
sprinkled in q line of asteroids,
scattered the Inhabitants of Uranus,
aud broke up the beautiful rings of
Saturn. He ran line out to AL
pha, the nearest fixed star, measur-
ed it, brought back a ray of light
and set all the stars in motion
around Alcyone, one of the Pleaides.
Then peering out into the depths of
the great abyss beyond, he brought
forth countless other universes,
which, with ours, were all sent
marching around the great white
throne in the centre. No wonder
We are urged to ''set out for heaven"
at once. ] am afraid that poor
Abraham's tired wings have not
yet reached it.
The Profess or, on the next night,
took a large handful of nebulae,
nodded it into ball, rolled it out
thinner and thinner, cut it into
rings, worked these up into Dump
iiDgs, little and large, threw them
out into space and set our universe
in motion. If he had performed
the experiment with q sphere of
colored oil IN decanter of water
instead of telling about it, it would
have been better, fine object lesson
on the creation of the universe.
The last evening the speaker re-
manned on the earth, and having
filed the basement with coal, the
granite safes with gold, the sea with
fishes, the fields with cattle, fixed
his stationary engine, the sun, laid
the hot wster pipes for heating it,
and the air pipes for ventilation, he
finally introduced man to his home
and gave him warranty deed for
its possession. On this evening he
also told as about DarWfn's rabbits
and said that man was not . devsl.
oped jelly fish, certain corpuIent
gentlemen to the contrary. The
origin of that terribly cold winter
was not given, bat perhaps it was
only becauae the supply train of
fuel ran of the track. s. j.

PROF. NORTON'S LECTURES.

The scientific lectures of Prof. II.
B. Norton, in this city last week,
were attended by fair audiences.
The highest praises are bestowed
upon the lectures by those best
posted in the sciences of astronomy
and geology, and who are thereby
best capable of judging of them.
We cannot attempt even e discrip-
ton of the lectures without detract-
ing from their merit. We are not
well enough posted in the sciences
treated of to criticise. We only
know that the Professors audience
was sgreeably surprised in the ex-
tent and accuracy of his kno Wedge,
both in astronomy and geology.
In his several years former resi-
dence here, we never heard of him
as an expert in these sciences. His
lectures developed the fact that he
is not only thoroughly posted in
them, hnt that he knows how to
impart, in the most attractive and
interesting manner, his knowledge
to a public audience. For one we
have never been particularly inter-
ested in lectures of this kind, but
fter listening to the Professor it
would now be pleasure to listen
to another course. In the respect
of making these sciences plain and
interesting to an unscientific hearer,
we venture he has few equals in
this or any other State. We judge
from expressions we have heard
that few if any of our people knew
that we had in our midst man of
such high attainments and thorough
research in these sciences. His in-
innate knowledge of the writings
of all the English and German sci
entists, as we'll as his original spec
nlations on the subjects treated, and
his criticisms upon Huxley, Tyndal,
Darwin and others of modern fame
were in the highest degree interest
ing aud instructive. One point IN
pgr<;cular was made prominent in
the Professors discourses, and that
was that there was really no con-
hict between the bible and science.
He succeeded to the satifaction of
his audience in clearing away the
mists sought to be thrown around
the bible aud religion by many of
the infidel writer's on scientific sub
iects in the old country. That nm
mitigated humbug, Darwinianism,
was severely yet justly criticised by
the Professor.
Humanity and true science have
no truer friend than Fl. B. Norton,
and the former was benefltted and
the latter elevated in the public es-
innate by his course of lectures last
week. At the close of the last lec-
ture, Saturday night, there was
unanimous and enthusiastic vote,
on motion of Rev. A. NJ. Averill,
in favor of another course of these
lectures, to be delivered at Prof.
Norton's convenience. We trust
other lectures win be given, and
that the public will more generally
attend, because they will be benefit
ted by SO doing.

FATAL AFFRGY.-A dispatch from
Independence, Missouri, gives The
following account Of bloody af-
fairy there on Monday. A terrible
shooting afIray occurred here yes
terday afternoon resulting in the
killing of one man and the wound

A fight ensued, during which a
