MeSsTS. Editors During last week and this also
the financial situation seems to have absorDed
public attention more than any other topic. Inc
great house of Barring Brothers, which for gen.
erations has been looked upon as tower OF
strength in the commercial world, has been in
the most imminent danger of failure and has
only been saved from destruction by the pro
digious advances made to protect it by the BANK
of England, the Rothschilds and several other
prominent firms, the sums pledged amounting
to the enormous sum of sixty-five millions OF
dollars, The Earrings had connections with every
part of the civilized world, and their failure
would have been almost as disastrous as that or
the Bank of England itself. Many of its family
have been distinguished not only in finance DuG
in other departments, and the best known OF
them, Lord Ashburton, was eminent as diplo-
matist, having negotiated with Daniel eDsIer
the Washington treaty and thus settled the dis
puted line of boundary between Canada ana the
United States, which at one time came so near
involving the two countries in war. Stocks have
been very feverish in consequence of the dis
trust of the past fortnight, and although the
worst is now regarded as past there will be mucn
uncertainty doubtless through the remainder or
this year. 1t is, however, capital time to BUY
stocks for ready money, and almost every one on
the list is now considered bargain for cash.
The death of Mr.. N. H. Morrison, who has been
for so many years the provost OF the PeaDody
Institute leaves vacancy in its administration
and various candidates are already making ap-
plication for the post The salary is liberal one
and the duties agreeable to man OF literary
tastes. So far the course of lectures before the
Institute by Mr.. Moulton, of England, have been
very interesting. His voice is not altogether
pleasing, but he displayed consummate mastery
of his subject, which was Faust, with mu ietl
the death of Margaret and the seizure OF Faust
by Mephistophles, enchanted the audience.
Those this week on the literary study OF the
Bible have also been very fine.
Accommodations for travellers are continually
on the increase and those dfslrons 3h ctY at

Just twelve hours When John Adams Travelled
from Quincy, Mass, to Baltimore where Con,

that the journey occupied twelve days. Inc
New York and New England route has now been
resumed by its former mode of transit, the
steamer Maryland having been completely re-
around the BATTERY" of New York, past the
Navy yard and through the East river up to Har-
lem, giving pleasant change with beaut Il "

rest on the lower deck and resume their journey
on the landing of the boat after New YORK has
been rounded and the road then passes through
New Haven and other large cities.
The theatres are running run TINS week ana
the performance of the Red Huzzar, with Marie
Tempest, very pretty woman, in the principal
part Hermann, the wizard, and various other
attractions divide the attention of theatre goers
and next week the inmitable little Lolita plays

This was instanced last week at Harris Acade-
my of Music. Going to the chrysanthemum
show was attracted at five O'Clock in the after
noon 10y a dense crowd blocking up the pave
ment of the Academy, and for few moments
was at a loss to understand it. 1t was, however,
duly appreciated when found that the con-
course was in honor of the great Mr. John l..
Sullivan, whose universal fame as bruiser had
secured him an engagemeat ne PLAYING th IN the
and women too had assembled to recognize ster-
ling merit. The doors to the gallery were not
to be opened for nearly three hours, but as an
ovation was due to the mighty John they pa
tiently endured the long waiting.

made. 1t is solid stone structure of elegant
proportions and effect and will be dedicated be-

of Brooklyn, New York, who has built a number
of the most beautiful Roman Catholic churches
in the country.

In spite of Congress and the anti-lottery bill
passed at the last session, tickets in the New
Orleans charitable institution are just as thick as
leaves in Valambrosa. Those beneficent men,
headed by Gems Early and Beauregard, who so
generously give away fortunes monthly, will be
gratified to learn that although shut out from
the mails the tickets can be bought anywhere
and in any quantity, on cars or in the streets,
while the prizes are supposed to be as plenty as
ever. In order to secure prize, however, with
