WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1806. About Financial Crises. Thb history of all modern financial crashes Is one lonar talo, not of mi-placed confidence, but ' of causeless distrust As a general rule, the con Tulsions which overturn the whole monetary world are not occasioned by any hollownes on .' the part of the capitalist, but by a timidity on the part of the depositor. It is important that this doctrine, cardinal yet simple, should be Dorne In mind, as by it much of the anxiety which will result from the crisis in London will be dispelled. Because Sir Morton Pbto and and Ovkrend, Gurnet fc Co. have been ruined, and the whole financial world stands wailing with trembling for new developments of losses, there is no causo for supposing that there is any radical delect in the system of monetary transaction. There is no cauce lor the fcor of Sir Morton's depositors becoming infectious, nor in there any occasion for extended anxioty. The truth is that those who have been wrecked by the failure of thwe leading banking houses, have themselves and their tellow depositors to thank for what ever loss they may have sustained. The incl dents of 1837 are of too recent occurrence for us to look with any wonder at the destruction of ven such a colossal name as that of the British baronet, so lately our guest. It seems that the customary alarm was felt, and, as usual, with out lust cause. A rush of men, each actuated by the meanest selfishness, to secure all his coin, even at the expense of a total loss on the part of his neighbor, took place. While Sir Monro FBTobad millions of capital invested, yet his supply of funds on hand were not sutHclont to meet the unexpected demand. The consequence was that financial paradox a rich man, with millions ot property, becoming Insolvent. The great banker failed with twenty-five millions of dollars within reach of his hand In ten days. The cause was the inconsiderate greed and over anxiety of nisdepositors; the result will probably be a sacrifice of what would otherwise have more than covered all besides the loss of time, a large proportion of their money, and the ruin of an es tablished and universally respected house. There Is but one lesson to be deduced from this inci dent. If ever there is n rush on a banking house, try rather to diminish the thing than to add one more to its number. The probability is that if the excitement continues the house will fail, and a large percent ige of your funds be lot; but if it ease o!f in time, etsrht chances out Of ten that within two days you can draw your money In perfect quiet. Such a course is dic tated not only by a sympathy for the banker, but also by self-lnta-eat and wisdom. We have had parties asking indignantly, ''Why do not the bankers keep money on hand to meet all demands ?" It does not require long for the capitalist to know very nearly how much will be demanded of him as a daily average. It he keeps twice as much as this average on hand, that is all that any reasonable person can ex pect. If all the money be allowed to lay In the vaults of his establishment, whee is he to make a living from f The banking business would be. come a species of universal charity, and the banker a receptacle lor funds for which he would be responsible, but which he could not use. Any reasonable demand a firm house can stand, but there are rushes so wild and so general that the Bank of England could not withstand them. Speaking of the Bank of England reminds us ot a certainly safe but not particularly intelligent preventive for such a catastrophe. The charter of the bank compels it to keep 10,000,000 in Its vaults. So that this vast amount of gold is left from cen tury to century laying idle in .order to meet an anticipated demand which could bo in all likelihood avoided under any circumstances. But such a course may be that ot wisdom, although It compels the bank to charge a higher ratcof disoount, yet it gives a firmness to all its proceedings and renders the awful terrors of a failure of such an Institution impossible. One word more. The causes which have con spired to occasion this convulsion have been greatly augmented, if not originated, by the political uncertainty of the British empire. The excitement over the Reform bill, and the general discomposing incidents of a state of wild public feeling, have conolnod to hasten this crUis. If Great Britain is thus subject to the effect of dis cussion in the money market, on what a volcano must we be quietly resting! If the present excitement in our political world continues, it cannot but produce a feeling of uneasiness and retard trade. We have seen its baneful influence already. All we can do, however, is to seek to be prepared for any danger, tor yield we cannot, and our adversaries will not; hence safety to us lies in a confidence in the stability of our free institutions, and an abiding faith in the capa bility ot man lor self-government. Secretary Seward's Significant Speech. Mr. Seward, according to bis usual custom, has . taken occasion on his recent visit to Auburn to deliver an utterance upon the topics of the hour. His speech is chiefly remark. able for its. tone of conciliation between Congress and the Preeidout. He declares thnt they disagree only upon uou-etfseutliK He ' tnus groups their agreement upon what he cills tho "only essentials:" "The representatives of the National Union party In Cougrtus uo not agree with the Provident, but I ' tlunn tho j differ only in reitaid lo.nou-eMomiuU Some aie understood to insist that the pood e of uo S ate out' lit to re orve the right of secession or oia- t union. The President ars exactl- the name thing. e A Slut e that should claim to reserve a right of sooes Ion coo d not be loyal.. Others contend that after rebellion a ferule ouvht not to be aooeptod which , inui-ts upon or readmits the vuliditv(oi the debts ot the Rehollton. The President savi exactly the tamo .thing. A State tha( irtiouid Insist spun the validit I ot tuoh debts could not ho loval. Oihera argutt that a a couseouence of the aoolitlon ol slavery a otianite of the Da is ot renresentatiou has become deJrable and Decenary. This can be done only by amend ing the I oustltution ol the United Statos. While Congress are yet unab to agree among themselves upon ttie torm of sucn an amendment, the Presi 0 nt says: 'Let m amend the Constitution io as to proportion representation according to suff are.' , Ttieaesoem to me to be the only essentials Two of them are already secured y the uurepresented in their constitutions the third is a work ot ttiu, re quiring the aotion of three-lourtht ot the Slates, by aineudment ol the Constitution." , It is especially noticeable here that Secretary Sewird fully commits the President to the policy ot an amendment of the Constitution upon the vital and all-important matter of an equalization ot fhe basis of representation. 1 He denies explicitly that President Johnson's "plan" is of his own origination, but says it grew up necessarily out of the unavoidable THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY prctHstlned change from war to peace. And henco he significantly remarks: C'ongropi ii to be expected, therefore, to concur with the President, not iu adopting a p an whioh be ha protected, but In accenting with himaotualiv exiMing oveituro of reeonoiiia'inn in tho form in wbicb thev bare occurred. Mint that tht pmce"t iitfin ofCcmgrett hitherto indicate not an ultimate ditaareemrnt andfailvre, but only a procratlination, which to the impatient it inconvenient, and to the timid a'artrfug." These utterances of the astute Secretary, we may rest assured, are well conlderod, and have a purpose. They point unmistakably to a re conciliation between Congress and the Presi dent. Equally In this line of thought are those sub sequent passages of his speech where Mr. Sew ard so emphatically asserts the full and entlfe power of Congress to determine the loyalty of those persons who diay claim seats as members of that body. He avows that it may adopt any test or standard for determining, that question which It may choose. Ho also alludes to the vetoes of tho President, and savs "all three of those measures in which the President declined to concur with Congress are purely extraneous incidents, and have no necessary or real bearing upon the question of reconciliation." Mr. Seward sums up the whole matter in one of these hopeful bursts which are so character istic of him as a political optimist: "I am hopolul of the President, hopeful of Con grcss, bopelul of the National Union party, h ipoiul ol the Democratic party, hopeiul ot the represented and nn represented Mtatoa, above all, hopeful of the whole people, and bopelnl ot the continued favor ot Almighty God, when 1 shall return here from the Held ol pubiio service, and shall como to mingle onoe more in jour quiet and peacoiul pursuits." The roseateness of this view may not be accepted by all who remember Mr. Seward's celebrated "ninety days'" speech in the early part of the war; still it Is not a bad thing for the country, either at home or abroad, that we have one statesman who so habitually looks on the bright side of affairs, and so persistently proclaims the greatness and glory of the re public. We hope, at the very least, that this speech will serve to reassure our melancholic Democratic brethren, who are just now so fear ful that constitutional liberty is being badly damaged at the hands of Congress. Probable Reunion ot the Presbyterian Church. The news from St. Louis points to the pro bable reunion, at no distant period, of tho Old and New School branches of the Presby terian Church. The Geueral Assemblies of both bodies are now in session at St. Louis, and, for the first time since the rupture in 1837, tiioy hut night met together to discuss the sub)ect of re union. , It is unnecessary to go into the history of the causes which originally conspired o divide this great body of Christians. Differences of doc trinal opinion, exaggerated far out of their legitimate importance, did something ; the ambition and overbearing temper of a few lead ing spirits did more. After tbe division bad once been made, pride of opinion, personal re sentments, and a gradually diverging tendency ot opinion between the two bodies upon tho subject of slavery that great ploughshare of political and ecclesiastical division served to keep them apart. So it has been for thirty years. A generation has pas-ed away, and the passions and resentments aroused by the origi nal rupture have passed away also. Slavery, too, has gone out of existence in the darkness ot attempted revolution. The doctrinal differences were always charac teristic of individuals, rather than of the bodies themselves. Nothing now stand In the way of a reunion of the great Presbyterian family. The people are almost unanimous for it. Reunited, the Church would be one of the most powerful of the laud in numbers, wealth, and influence. Its home and foreign missionary operations, Us church erection and publication enterprises, its colleges and theological seminaries, could be consolidated, enlarged, and prosecuted with in creased capital and efficiency, and with greatly augmented results. We trust that so desirable a consummation may not be far distant. It will be a signal for that general reunion of organiza tions once severed and kept apart by slavery, which all must long to see. Senator Wilson's Dill for Equalizing Soldiers' Bounties. There is no topic upon which a more complete unanimity exists among all our Union soldiers tbanupn that of a fair and just equalization of bounties. It Is well known that the thou sands and tens of thousands of gallant men who rushed to the field at the earlier calls of the Government, did so without the stimulus of bounties. At a later period high bounties were paid both by the general Government and by tbe States, and in many instances by cities and counties also. Justice requires that the early soldier who went voluntarily to the field unin fluenced by the hope of pecuniary reward, shall not now be forgotten by his country. Senator Wilson's bill, reported to the Senate yesterday, goes upon the simple principle of pay ing to every Union soldier, sailor, and marine of the late war, a bounty of eight and ttjhulf dollars per month for the time he was in ser vice, deducting therelrom any bounty or prize money he may already Uave received or be en titled to. It Is estimated that It will require the turn of one hundred tind eighty-five millions of dollars to pay these bounties. i We regard this as a sacred debt, due in all honor and honesty to the men who saved the country In its hour of supremest peril; and we trust that Senator Wilson's bill will pass. Passed at Last. At every session since the organization of the Republican party, an effort has been made to secure the passage of a gene ral Bankrupt Law It seems that the Repre sentative of Rhode Island has made this bill his specialty, as each successor has taken the in leiest felt by the lormer occupant of his seat upon himself, and pressed the claims of the bill. It has been universally defeated by a vote of not more than twelve majority against it. Ye terday the persistent efforts of Mr. Jbnckes were rewarded with success, and the b 11 passed by a majority of nine. Its principal provision is that any debtor, whoe liabilities exceed three hundred dollars, may corns before a United States District Court, swear to hit Inability to pay, and surrender all his estate into the hands of an assignee. If in after years he acquires property, that property cannot be seized by his former creditors. It virtually removes the load irom an Insolvent debtor, and gives him an in centive to energy and hope lor future success. A Cathedral Doomed. The Berlin Cathedral Is doompd to destruction within two yeir. A much larger cathedral, according to plans ap proved by the late King, is to be built on the same site. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. iVtDBUCB OF TRANSFER OF STOCK. Hnpran Conrt nt aay I vital Chief Justice V oooward, and Justices Thompson, otronr, head, and Avnew. J be following opinion is one of great Intercut to the mercantile community, involving as it does, the question ot the ngat el a ban or other corpora ion to Demand evidenoe ot authority in a irnatee to make transier of stock. 1 he oointon of the Court, deliv trea Dv Judgo ti.rong, is as lollown: Jiayord vt. The farmcri' and Mechanic' Bank of hiladelphia Btjiono, J. Passing by the question whether the defendants, being moie amenta of the Common wealth, are liable to damages at the suit of the pla olift, evon for a wrongtul retinal to permit bun to transfer the stooar, we come immediately to the inquiry whether their reiusai was wrongtul. Cer tainly they were unoer no obligation to pormit a translor, if their pormlseton would have exposed i hem or their principals to a sucuesslul claim by any one lor ttie replacement of tne stock or for its value. In a certain sense thoy w. re cuitodlan ol be rights ot stockoivner. With them was the registry, and tranplers could be mado only with their consent, by the suironQor ol the certificate and tho issue of now ou-;s to the transieree. A pur chaser ot' stock does not roceivs the oortifluate of bis vendor, but a new one made out tu bis own name, and reciting nothing coii'atned in the lormer. ilo is therefore protected iu tho enjoy, niont of b s purchase, even though tnore was no light to make the transfer to hitn. For this reason an unauthorized translor is a wrong dono to the WDer oi stock, for which not on'y the person who makes it, but any one knowingly assisting in tho wrong, is responsible, That a bauk or other corpo ration, and also these dolondants, are trustees to a certain extent for stockholders, that is, for the pro tection of Individual interests, cannot bo denied, lliey are altko trustees ol the property, and of the title ol each owner. 1'ney have iu their keeniug th pnmary evidence of title, and they art justly h ld to proi er diligenoe and care iu its pr nervation. Kroin this it results that thoy mi rightfully do maud evidenoe of authority to make a translor, beiore they permit it to be made. Tueir o vn saioty requires that they bo satisfied of tUo light ot tli.t person proposing to mane a trans. or io do what he proposes", iicneially, sufficient evuleuoe of s.toa right is found in ibo possession ot lem title to the sloe If. Voi ii is well se t ed that it not, in ail casuj, sufficient. Notwithstanding that, the true equitable ownership may be in some other than tne holder ot the leral right, and a tiansfer may 09 a gro.is wrong to such an equitable owner To that wrong the cotporation, or keepers of the rogistry, make thorn solves partlos, ii, with knowledge that there is no equitable right to transier, tney permit it to bo oone. And In equity whatever puts a party upon Inquiry is notice ol what inquiry must revoal. 1 ne real dit nculty is in determining how far it is the duty of the transfer agout to inquire. The law casts the legal ownership of personal property ot a deceased intestate upon his administrators. They are some times said to be trustoes, but they are such for ad ministration. Their primary duty always is to dis pose of the personal proportv, and therewith pay the debts of the Intestate, and make distribution Biiioup his next of kin. A sale and transfer oi stocks by them is therefore in the line of their duty. There is no re tui que trust, having a right to intoriere and prevent such a transfer. Hence letters of adminis tration are always sufficient evidonoe ot authority. A trustee oi an insolvent debtor would soeni to stand on tbe sarao footing. And no gonorally doos au executor. His primary duty is administration. He is to pay dobtsand tegaotesout of the porsouul estate, and use even specilio legacies to pay debts, it necessary. His lotiers testamentary thoroiore show an apparent right to oispo-o ol toe stocks of ttie tes tator. Even if tho stock has been bequeathed specifi cally, a transier agent bai no means ot ascertaining whether it is neeoed to pav deb s. Ho can inquire only ol the executor, the very person who proposes to make the translor. If he inquire ot tho speciflo legatee be can learn nothing, lor the legatee may bo ignorant, and to require evidence of authority be yond the letters testamont rv might greatly delay and embarrass the executor m tne discharge of his duties. It has therefore geneiaily been held that transfer agents iray safoly permit a transfer of stock by au executor, without lookmv for his authority beyond his letters. Such was the ruling in tiartga vs. Ibo Hank of England, 8 et,ey, 66; Hank ot Eng land vs. l'arsons, 6 Vetev, 666; Satue vs. Same, 15 Vfcfcy, 6bfl; FraukUn vs Tup bank, 9 B. and U., 166; Fow.'er vs. Churchi I & Chuichill vs. The Bank, 11 Mceeon and W elsby, 823, and bank vs iranklin, 1 Kusseil, Cua: 675. Similar decisions have been made in this country, and so tar fie law is un doubted. Yet even in cases in which execu'ors have at tempted to make transfers ol stocK, or a pubiio loan, transier agents (meaning thereby the corporation in which tbe stock is held) have sometimes boen re quired io make inquiry into the right of the execu tor beyond ibe letters testamentary, and evon be yond the will itself. In Lowry vs. i he Commercial and Farmers' Bank of Baltimore decided by Chief Justice laney in the Circuit Cou't ot the United Mites for tho Maryland Omtriot, and reported in American Law Journal, N. N., volume 8, page 111, it was ruled that when bank stook bad been bequeathed to an executor in trust to pay the dividenas to certain persons, and the executor bad transferred it to one who made advances there on for the use of the executor, the bank whioh had issued the certificate having notice that the stock belonged original to the testator, was bound to look at the title of tbe executor under the will be fore it consented to the transfer, in that case the tianser was made bv tbe executor, at. such, and there was no proof of any aotual notice to the bank that the stook had been speoifloally bequeathed, and that tbe executor was violating bis trast bv making the transfer. Yet the Chief Justice hold that the hank was bound to take notice of the will when the transfer was proposod by one of the executors; that it was negligence in th bank not to examine it, and that if it was ignorant ot its contents, and of the speoifio bequest ot the stock, it was its own (au t; that it must be dea't with as if it had possossod actual knowledge that the stook in question was specifically bequeathed by the testator, and was not, by the will, to be transferred He then proceoded to show thai while it mlgut have been sold, if neces aiy lortlii'lpayment ol debts, there was enough to indicate to tbe bank that it was not needei for such a use. The bank was, therefore, bold .iaoie, as a paity to the fraud of the executor. It was hold responsible lor not p rev 3D ting the executor, who had the legal right, from making the trausl. r. But were it oonceded that in no case is an execu tor offering to make a transfer of stock issued to his tostator under obligation to exhioit any other autho nty than bis letters testamentary, it -would by no means follow that this plaintiff bad a iuht to de mand of the defendants an ailowanoe of his pro posed transier without lurnisbing tor tneiriuspeo tion more than bis certificates. U was not an exe cutor, but a trustee. Tbe certificates hold by him bad been issued in the name of 'Thomas F. Bavard, trustee ot Mary Gilpin." Upon their face it ap peared that though the legal right wa in him, no was not tbe owner. The person to be a Hooted by the translor was not himself, but Mary Uilpiu. 'J here is a marked difference between the powers of an administrator, or executor, aud those ot an ordi nary trustee. The common duty of the latter is not administration, or sale, but custody and manage ment, tin purchaser, either ot laud or personally, would bo saie in buying irom a kuowo trustee, without looking at the nature and extent ot bis trust. It is true a trustee may have power to soil, but tbe power is not a necessary inoident to his trust, as it is to tbe office oi an executor. He may have the lef al title, and yet have no authority to sell 11 is saie may be entirely unauthoiized by the instrument that cieated the trust; it may have been forbidden. Why, tarn, doos not a bauk, or a transfer agent, act at its peril when permit ting him to multo a translor? if, In truth, be bas no such power, tbe bunk, by accop'iug bis certificates, and issuing others in lieu thereof to his trausterers. is assisting h m to destroy the rights of th cestui que truj it baa over been held that a e irporatton is 'iab e It it permit a transfer by a lunaiio ho ding a loal riuut, tbi uvb it hud no knowledge of the lunauv, aud vas guilty of no aotual taut Chew & Uolds'orouh vs. the Bank ol Ba timoie. 14 Karvlaud, 21)9. Tne leasou given was that It might have provided against i ne transier by precaution. Jf thus I. able when only the innocent cause of a loss, mucn morels the lia bility certain when tne transier H permitted with full know edge that the itock does not belong to t.:e person wjo oiler to transmit it to another, if the transfer is in lacfc unauthorized.

It is true that it-was ruled on Albert and wile vs the city of Baltimore, et al , 2 Mary. and, 15tf that the mere designation of ibe stook Uo der aa trnnee, without a specification of the trust, or naming the cestui que tiust, was not such no loetoihe transier agents at to nae it their duly to look beyond t.eT lepul title, for it did not point to any souic-e ol in formation.

It never has been decided that a corporation mar disregard te rights ot a known equitable stock holder It won'd Is an anomaly were there any such decisions. An obligor in a bond must take notioe ol the right of an equitable assignee ot t e obligee. A stakeholder cannot safely pay over to bim who bas the logal right when he knowsanntner to be the beneficial owner. With equal reason, at least, ought it to be held Illegal tor a corporation to aid In destroying the title ot a cestui quo trust to its stock, Without being satisfied that the trustee has autlio it? to part with and destroy It We bold, tbereiore, that thn plaint ff had no right to insist upon being allowed to make a tran-ior of stock which he hold ostensibly in trust lor Mary '-illiiin, , without exhibiting to the defendants an authority to transfer, beyond the certificates.

The plant comes Irom Java, but we are told that it has been fairly tried in the open ground in England, and succeeds perfectly well.
