AN ARAB-sLAUoHTERIN LuNATIc DEMANDS
AN IMPERIAL INTERvEw.--We learn from a
late Paris paper that lunatic, whose delu-
sion was OF a singularly sanguinary nature,
recently presented himself at the palace
gates, and sought speech with Napoleon III.
He was aretired Lieutenant-C Colonel, and re-
sided at Dion; he came to tell the Emperor
that when serving in Africa, he slaughtered
and decapitated with his own right hand five
hundred Arabs, between sun and sun; if his
Imperial Majesty doubted this statement, he
was ready to bring the Eve hundred heads
into the palace, and thus convince him that
he was an officer of truth as well as of valor.
His special object in coming to Paris was to
obtain some recompense for an exploit which

The weather was propitious for outdoor gather
ings yesterday. The flags of Carondeet street
were only moderately thronged. On the grand
boulevard, Canal, the concourse of people was
large and it might be inferred that large sales of
merchandise were made, but the sequel will be the
greater part Of the multitude was shopping. From
the many paeards handbills and notices generally
exposed, it would be supposed that dry goods
dealers were prepared to give away goods. 1t
cannot be gainsayed but what dry goods have
much to do with the great importatons and the
general trade of the country and possess almost as
much influence as the great staple cotton; and
though the throng of people was large yesterday
on the flags of dry goodsdom the general talk was,
that sales were light, and that silks, delaines,
mantlas, and crinoline in general, though offered
at cost, or at astounding low prices yet the scare
ity of the needfu and the difficulty of borrowing,
makes the low prices at which goods are offered
about as dear and costly as when money could be
borrowed at Gas f3ct per annum. But somehow
or another there does not appear to be (notwith-
standing the great desire to dispose of stocks Of
dry goods any decline or falling of in the price of
cotton goods, say brown and beaehed shirtings
and sheetings, and other goods of which cotton
forms the component part of the material. 1t is
well known that warehouse of cotton goods can
be kept in a perfect state of preservation for
months and years in fact, cotton goods, par
ticuarly lowells twilled goods, brown and bleach
ed goods will not get out of demand; that whims
and caprces Of fashion and fancy cannot affect the
general cotton goods market.


There was general desire on Carondelet street
to await the next arrival from Europe before
operating, or rather attempting to operate in cot
ton, as it is impossible for a large number of
buyers and dealers to move under the present state
of the exchange market, The great cotton market
was yesterday as the day before, dull and slug
gish. hiddling cotton at 9ac., freight /, exchange
at %, must command on wharf in Liverpool I'D. TO
cover It will thus be seen it is tight chance for
even the present low prices in our market, which
are, if the real intrinsic worth of cotton is taken,
fully l40la cents lower than its actual worth. OF
course, our great cotton trade just at this moment
is subject to the disabilities of negotiating ex-
change, and the effects of the pressure in New
York. As regards New York, we ought to have
seeded from its upas effects it were, years ago.
Although there were no important dispatches re-
eeved yesterday from Wall street, the private cor
respondenee was of q real blueish nature. The
great feat, or rather the great prescription of the
NJ. DIS dosed out as it were, fifteen days ago, in
the way of the banks expanding, has proved, as
we predicted, total failure real abortion, not
withstanding it had the approval of the selfconst

Courier and Enquirer, of the 7th instant, shows up
the fallaces Of New York financers, led off by our
quondam clothing merchant of Chartres street, Mr.
George Opdyke, and our late citizen, DIR. Morgan.
Il is hoped their next prescription will remedy the
money ailing:


There is no relief to report from the stringency
in monetary affairs The feeling to-day has been
very gloomy, and the demand for money quite as
heavy as any day since the pressure commenced.
The relief granted by the banks seems to have
been only for the moment, and the measures which
were adopted as guide for space of thirty days
have not been kept in their strict spirit and letter
for ten. The loans of the banks last week showed
large expansion, but the actual loans of Monday
were two millions less than the average of last
week. The very great pressure for money in the
street seems TO indicate that accommodations from
the banks is not freely given sitwas last week,
and we published yesterday a long list of banks
whose loans even last week averaged less than the
the week previous.


Now those banks were parties to the agreement
to expand, and we call upon them to redeem their
pledge. There is but one policy which can save
the banks and preserve them through this trying
ordeal, which is by no means safely passed through
yet, and that policy is expansion. Any attempt to
deviate from this must be fatal safety alone
lies in the policy Of granting to the merchants
every facility possible The Boston banks are re-
ported leaning on our institutions, and it is of
the utmost Importance that they should be sustain
ed, but they should only be aided with the distinct
understanding that they should expand in aid of
the merchants.


The Boston banks have only three and half
millions of coin The New York banks had on
Tuesday last sl854l 900. The New York banks
| increased their loans during one week, say from
| the oath November to the 1st December, seven
| millions of dollars, and within week following,
| say on the 5th, 9Th and 7tf Of December, their
customers and the public were crying for more,
that is, more more! What cormorant, greedy
folks, NewYorkers must be! The simple solution
of the question and position is that the financial
public of New York is cornered and in tight
place, but may be relieved by large remittances of
gold from Europe. In the meantime, with two or
three millions Of gold more in our banks. we shall
experience let up in our market. But while talk
ing about money, specie and New York, we are
tapped on the shoulder: How about cotton selling


at twelve and half cents in March next? Should


not be surprised-no, we shouldn't!

Heaven. The following characteristic anecdote of
John Randolph is a keen rebuke of the practice:

he was visited by minister, who, at his request,
prayed for and with him. The minister began on
this wise: :. Lord, our friend is sick Thou know

eminent services he has rendered to his country,
and how he is among the honOred and great men

Make me child again, just for tonight!
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,

Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Backward. flow backward, O tide of years
am so weary of toll and of teals-
Toll without trecompense-tears all in vain
Take them and give back my childhood again
have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of finglng my soul-wealth away
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Tired of the base, the hollow, the untrue,
Mother, o, mother, my heart calls for you!
Many summer the grass has grown green,
BIossomed and faded-our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long l, tonight. for your presence again;
Come from the silence so long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Over my heart, in days that are flown,
No love like mother-love ever has shone-
No other worship abides and endures.
Faithful, unselfsh and patient like yours
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul, and the world-weary brain;
Sumbers soft calm DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rOck me to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair. just lighted with gold
Fall on your shoulders again as of Old
Let it fall DER my forehead tonight,


Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For, with its sunny edged shadows once more,
Happily throng the sweet visions Of yore,
Lovingly. softly, its bright billows sweep
Rock me sleep. mother-rock me to sleep!
Mother, dear mother, the years have been long
Since last listened to your lullaby song
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only dream;
Clasped to your heart in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep

The news from Europe is important Vic
tor Emanuel, King of Sardinia has formally
accepted the sovereignty of Naples" and
Garibaldi has resigned the dictatorship, laid
down his sword, and returned to his "island
home to enjoy the quietude Of private life.
The Italian war, then, We Suppose, is ended !;


for Garibaldi would hardly lay down his


sword, IL it were considered necessary by


Sardinia, TO carry Che war any further


There were those who thought that to carry


out the idea Of union of all the Italian


States, Garibaldi would attack Venetia, ruled


by Austrian power. There was so much
grandeur in the progress of his arms, and in
the idea of free and united Italy," that it
was doubtful when the war would cease );
and some imagined him as already coping
with Austria, in Venetia. He might by the
force of circumstances, have been brought
into a conflict with Austria. but this was an
event which it was the policy of France and
Sardinia to stave Off But why think Of
what more might have been done, when we
see what has already been done, under the
leadership of a man who, a short time ago,
went to Sicily with few followers, q mere ad
venturer, as it were, to assert the freedom of
two millious and half of people. They went
poorly armed, but they went to conquer
The courage, enthusiasm, and devotion of
the soldiers, and the courage and genius of
the commander, were invincible. If the
world looked with surprise at the invasion of
Sicily, it was astonished at tie result of the
movement. 1t saw the power of Naples in
the island broken up. 1t then saw Naples
itself attacked, and now it has seen Naples


fall, and pass under the rule of another and a


better king, and it sees the warrior lay down


his conquering sword, and retire to private
life. What a character does he present to
MS! He has conquered, for others not for
himself With the power to possess wealth.
he remains poor-in the midst of his tri


umphs, he denied to himself any comfort that
the commonest soldier did not possess-now
washing with his own hands his flannel shirt,
the only one that he had, then directing the
for an attack upon the enemy. 1t
is the absence of all selfshness, the desire for
the good of Others, combined with his genius,
which will give him a bright and undying
name in history.
