But the worst is over. In New
York 1t was hardly shock. The
market weakened, but there was no
panic, nor even q furry. It is not
even certain that the weakening of
the Wall street market was due to
the French failures. symptoms of
weakness were observable several
days before, that were due to local
causes. Why is it, then, that fail

1t simply strikes out OF existence a
large block OF fictitious wealth,
created largely by stock watering,
which existed on confidence and per-

dues and barons and oomtss and
clericals are poorer than they were,
and a large number OF poor peasants
have lost their savings; but agricul-
ture, manufactures and commerce go
on as before, and France is as rich az
ever, though some OF her children

FATLURE or yHE UNION GRNER-
4IE.

just now when there is so much
comment and speculation on the
failure Of the Union Geuerale OF
Paris, the following brief history OF
the institution whose collapse has
Juat caused such panic in France
will be of intersat to most readers.
Union Generale was not, properly
speaking, bank. 1t was sort of
pious Credit Mobilier. 1t was got
ten up by the Clerical" party OF
France to bring the resources OF
wealth to reinforce virtue in it's war
against communism and the evil on g.
1t belongs to the category OF the
Sympathetic banking" Of Boeton,
and the financial expansions Of Arch.
bishop Purcell. When it was first
founded it was not intended for a
swindle, 1t started with good in
tentions, but was captured by "bad
men," 1t occurred to a pious fnan-
cier, named DervieuX, few years
ago, TO found mopeyed institution
in which detout Catholics might in
vest, and bring the powers of nam
mon to fight against the anti Christ.
The idea took, and the Pope was in
duced 10 give it his blessing, The
stock went off buoyantly. Count
Chambord, the Bourbon heir to the
throne Of France, took 100000
frances Of the stock, and the Catho-
lie aristocracy of Austria, Hungary,
Germany, Russia and Brazil took
shares ia Union Generate. Then a
very sharp fnancier named Bontoux
got into the directory. He took but
little interest in the holy aims Of the
concern, but managed 10 get Der
viux out and Got in himaelf and be-
gan to run IT like worldly corpor-
alton, with a view to increasing
filthy lucre. The capita stock was
increased, and again increased; but
the stock was watered in larger
ratio. Yet still the stock rose in
value, until shares at par Of SOC
francs went up 10 1850. The world.
lings tried to "hear' this stook, but
without avail. The bears who sold
it short could not got it. The piour
holders held to il as matter Of du-
ty and concience, and the wicked
bears who were short we're terribly

The bravery of the Eeypt,nns.

The truth is the Egyptians fought much better

the honor of being the first TO face throughout

ignorance made them bold, for the first few rounds
from our heavy guns produced effects positively
trightful to witness, even from point of safety
while TO have stood under such avalanches of iron
without hinching proves the Egyptians to have
some good stuff among them.
If the Egyptians oppose our troops with the same
gallantry with which they fought their four last
guns our soldiers Will have their work cut out for
them before they reach Cairo. With the tremen-
dous fire OF four iron clads concentrated upon
them, with the forts crumbing in ruins among
them, their gunners yet sent shot after shot back
through the storm of shell aud bullets for more
than an hour. Sir Beauchamp Seymour himself

THE English war for conquest in Egypt
does not enthuse the people of England,
nor command the sympathies of Chris
tendon. The attempt to make it cru
sade against the Crescent under the pre-
tense of defending the Cross is very
weak. The Khedive had abdicated in
favor of English and French money
lenders, and the Egyptians are simply
refusing to deliver their country over in
pursuance of his bargain. The money
lenders of Europe are not generally in
terested in the cause of the Cross, and
Christians will not fight a religious war
