LONDON, March 4-The Times OF this
morning says, ed~itorially, Of the Belk-
nap scandal: This event is more grave
because it is con6rmstory Of q suspicion
which has long prevailed among the
American people. Even we Europeans
cannot but be struck With the altered
tones in which Americans speak, il not
of their institutions, at least Of the men
who have the present direction of them.
The News, abiding to the same SUD
iect, says: The American political lite
seems to be in anything but a healthy
condition" 1t refers to whisky fraud
trials. the Emma Mine scandal aud the
downfall of Belknsp, aud says that these
scandals lit the veil from a class OF So
ciety which it was hitherto pretty gener-
ally supposed had as yet escaped the i'm
p~urities Of the social strata below, and
they lead one to fear that some of the
worst vices OF a municipal government
may be percolating into Federal admin.
istrstion.
The Telegraph says disclosures after
disclosures, charges after charges, vary
ing 10 degrees of trust, but with the same
ugly and untoward character, have lately
darkened the commercial, religious, ju-
dicial and administrative institutions oil
the United States. Some have proved
false, others true. and more await evi'
dence, but the general effect beyond de-
NAL has been and is to oring the blush
Of shame ami anxiety into the faces of
all honest Americans, and to make
countless friends Of the republic in this
country silent and sorrowful when its
enemies rejoice over these recurring
revelations.
The Standard says: Happily the coun-
tries are few where SO gross az abuse Of
trust would be possible.
The Evening Standards financial srti.
Gle says at this hour. one o'clock, some
panic prevails at the Stock Exchange 10
home railways, which have been forced
for sale at a very important fall. Many
sales are stated to be on banking ac-
counts, and il is assumed that the extent
Of the fall 10 some stocks will lead to
difficulties st the next fortnight meeting.

with most Of the contents. Wood, Marsh

considerably damaged, principally by
falling walls.
The aggregate losses will reach about
$500, 600, the principal losers being

The insurance on the buildings fully
covers the Losses. The policies are
mostly in English and Eastern COM

badly though not dangerously hurt

The Boston Post justly csnsures the
Atlantic cables for emitting TO mention
the death of Napolean's wet.nurse at
Geneva. Everything in any way con-
nected with royalty is, as is wen known,
of the deepest interest to American
readers; aud to 6nd that, after all the
labor aud expense incident TO the max
ing and laying of those cables, we are
to hear comparatively nothing; that we
must content ourselves With a bare men.
ZION or an entire omission of what is
happening in the royal families, is
enough to unsettle the calmest OF US.
Four or five young princes with names
half a mile long might at any moment

had come over.
