There are some impor'ant points in which the t re out crisis diliors irom thoso of 1847 and 1857. 1 hoe m nuns were periods ol morcautile distress but the vital consideration ol b ink ug credit does not pptai to have been involved In them, as 1 lis in the jirescn crisis. Agam, the course of affairs was comparatively (low and measured; whereas the nboek has in this instance arrived with an infei se rapidity, and the opportunity lor duiiborauoa in narrowed iu propor tion. . . , r lastly, the reserve of the ilanic of Eugland has su fined a diminution without a precedent, relatively to the time in which it has beeu brought atout; and in view esjiociall, ol this o rcumsiance, her Uuiesty's Government cannot douut that it is their duty to adopt, without dolay, the measures which seem to them best calculated to compose the public mind, and to avert the ca amines v. h'ch may threaten trade and industry. It. men, the Direotors ol the Bank of Knglaid, proceed ng upon the prudent rulei ot action by which their aumiuiHtration is usually governed, thall find 'hat in order to meet the wants of thoir legitimate commcice, it la requisite to ex tend their discounts and ad vu noes upon aDproved securities so as to rt quire issues of notes beyond the limits fixod by law, her Majesty's Government re commend that i hi necessi y shou'd bo met immedi ately upon Its occurrence, and in that event they will lot fall to make application lo 1'arliument for its sanction.

Frmn the Pall Mull Gazette Evening paper) Moneu Article, May 12. Satorpay, 1 o'clock. Tlie panic and excite ment in the city has BtibsiduJ. The action of the Government In suspending the Hank Charter aci nas naa a reassuring eilect, and the run upon the banks ha ceased. Tho total amount of the advances made by the Bank ot Euglund yesterday was 4,000,000. It appears that the run upon the various "banks yesterday after all resulted In the with drawal oi only a comparatively small sum in the aggregate. In one instance, where millions might have been called lor, only 100,000 was withdrawn, and that by small depositors and customers. The Directors of the Bauk of England have this day rained the rate oi discount lo ten per cent., or in other words have assimilated the charge lor bills to that for advance on stocks. One declaration tor a small amount was made on the Stock Exchange to-day, but no other ia lures ate mentioned. Rumors ot expected stoppages are still cur rent iu the city, but they are not to be relied on, and onsrht not to lie repeated. In Mincing lane to-day there is a very much better leeliug, the uueasiuoss having entirely dit-appeared: Dut there are no sales on. Notices are beinir sent out lor sales on Tuesday next although the number is very hiiaII. ' Two o'clock. Public coufldence is quite re stored, and there has be u a considerable re covery in stocks and shares. In Consols a further improvement has taken place. Deal ings have been elTectod from 85J up to 86, and the present quotation is from 86 to 8GJ for money, and bi to 85J ex div. lor the account. New and Reduced Three Per Cents, have been djneat 84 up to 84 j; Exchequer Bills, March, us. discount; and bauk stock, 2i0. The Panic In Loadoa It Character What Caused tbe i'aliare or Overend, Ctnrney Co. From the tall Mall Gazette, May 12. , It is desirable in the midst of a panic like the present to have clear views ou the subject of iu real character and significance. There are several different causes from whicii such a state of things may arise; and w hen it has arisen, it ia hiehly important that the symptoms should not be eont'oiajdeJ. A panic maybe produced by loss; crops nay fail; we may have a cotton famine; public security may be shaken, and the result ot that may be a fall in the funds; any or ail of these causes may produce the failure of private houses, which, as they accumulate and spread upwards shake the larger firms, and end by stopping them. 8o. again, the necessity for exporting great quantities of bullion in order to pay foreign liabilities imprudently incurred may weaken the resources of tbe bank, and so put a stoppage on credit and produce a panic. The preceni critw, however, is due to neither of terse ratites. '1 here have been no losses to account for it. Ru n has not epreal upwards from the smaller to the larger firms, but has overtaken the largest ol ail tot. There has been no drain of bullion, for the ftervp nf tho tinnlr ! inn.n. - T - ...... i ,a imutri imci urau usual.

NEWS FROM HONDURAS' Bald by tbe Yucatan Indians They et Tnclr Filaoneri.' Kanaoui at $10,000 Excitement at Belize. Belize, British Honduras, May 4. A courier arrived in town on the moruiog of the 2d with the intelligence that the Indians from Yucatan had crossed tbe Rio Hondo, and attacked the gangs of mahogany cutters on the Rio Brara tributary of the Hondo and taken the fore man, bis family, and all of his hands prisoners. Two men who resisted were iiistantly killod. and thp others bound, after which they robbed the bank of all the provisions, goods, clothing, tools, etc, and then went over the Hondo to the Mexican side, taking with them all the plunder and the prisoners, tor whose release they demand $10,000. This sum Is now being made up, and will be sent immediately. The property on which this outrage was com mitted is claimed by the British Honduras Com pany (limited), ana is under the management of John Hodge, formerly of the firm ot Hyde, Hodge k Co., of London, who is doln all he can to obtain the release of the captives. The Indians are now and for several years past have been at war with the If ucatan. and up to this time they bave successfully withstood all the efforts ot the Mexicans to subdue them. They have been entirely dependent on tuts colony lor their arms, ammunition, and clith ing, which have been freely suoplied them, even in the lace of the Queen's proclamation to the contrary; and it may be the parlv who now suf fers has had his share in supplying them with the means to rob his gang, steal his hands, and bring him Into trouble, it issupposed that they number over one hundred, and should they have visited any of the other gangs in that vicinity they may have many more. 1 I think it right to state that the Brara la clearly within the British lines: but this claim has always been denied by the Mexican and the Yucatan Governments, and the whole colony waa swallowed up by the royal proclamation of the Emperor in 1804. Our town is in a great state of excitement. The friends of the captives and oT all who are in that vicinity are most anxious regarding their fate. If. Y. Ilerald.

Just a month, to a day, Mr. Dav i was kept inclose confinement that is to say, during this time he wai not allowed to step toot out ot his casemate. Ha would sit hours in the same position, looking out of ins window upon the sea lie smoked bis pipe a good deal, read bis Bib e and prayer-book one hour tach morning and evening j but as if eutertalnlng a vital scorn for everything and i verybody, kopt up, in tbe wain, an attitude of cMIIlur silence and mys tery. At times be would shake off this moodiness, and would talk with wondoriul vivacity, revealtnv thi- brightest treasures of dazzling thought. At suoh times the Eternal spirit of tbe chalnless mind Bill tiiext in dungeons, would how itself with a power and effulgence that seemed a most supernal. By this I mean to say that there aie no Letter talker than Mr. Davis when ne chootet to talk. During hi close confinement he chose, however, to fa k but little. O BIB OUTDOOB EXERCISE. BOOKS, AMD PAPERS. It was apparent to every one that Mr. Davis oould not long stand suoh continuous close coulineuieut. Tbe contrast to the activities and caies of his pre vious liie was too great He needed both exercise and mental aliment. His physioal oondltion and re- Smremeuts were made known in Washington or Dr . J. Craven, his medical attendant at that time. The result was that on tbe 22d ot July an order came from Washington directing that be be allowed an hour's daily walk on the parapet of tbe fort, and boots and the dady papers to read. He at once availed him self of the privileges granted him underfills order, A decided visible improvement In hit health was the consequence He was too proud to ask for these lavors, but be was not too proud to express his overflowing gratitude at their bestowal. SKMOVAt, TO CARROLL BALL. The order for the removal of Mr. Davit to Carroll Hall leached here on the 28th of Sep tenner last. At soon as the room he was to ocoopy could be pro perly altered aud arranged, the change of quarters took place. And here let it be recollected that tbe casemate he had ooouoied was tar from being the dark, dismal, dreary dungeon many represented it, Onioers of tbe fort and their families occupied case, mates contiguous to it. The otboer who cave up to Mr. Davit tbe room the latter uow oooupiet in Car roll Hall, accepted at his quarteis the casemate Mr. Davis had vacated.

KX PI A NATION OF THE "RESCUE EXCITEMENT """ There was a time as will be romoniberd, when there was quite an excitement regarding a supposi tious nlan to roscuo Mr. Davis from prison. Vosse's arnvmr hero were searched; strangers landing at the wharf becan e the mt ject of vcilant espomage, and nothing was left undone, inside the fore and out side, to ferrotont the plotters and bring to gnof them and their project, should such a thing bo at tempted. If there ever was such a plan concocted the plotteis have acted tho prndout part ann kept out ot tne way It Is now prottv generally thought and conceded that Mr. Davis, tor ono, never entered Into such a plan, and would not hav availed himsolf of deliverance offered at any sueh hands.

St. Louis, May 24. Tlie nroeoedlmni of the Old School Assembly to day consisted mainly of me reading of the report or the committee on the Louisville Presbytery case. The report reviews the declaration and testimony put forth by that body, and considers It an evidence of organized conspiracy against the Church, and concludes with a scries of resolutions which declare the Presbytery of Louisville dissolved. A new Presbytery is to be constituted, to be called by the same name and to occupy the same territory, aud have the care of the same churches; the said Presbvtory to be composed of so many ministers and eldets as shall sub sciibe to the disapproval of the declaration and testimony, and obey the General Assombly. All ministers or the late Louisville Presbytery who (10 not apply for admission to the new Presby tery, and subscribe to the above disapproval wiihin two mouths from its organization, thur pastoral relations with the churches under the chtp ol this Assembly shall be dissolved. The Assembly disclaims any intention or dis position to disturb existing relation, of the churches, ruling elders, or private members, but rather to protect them in the enjoyment of their rights and privileges in the churches. Their choice of these would reduce them into an abandonment of the heritngc of thoir fathers. Dr. E. P. Humphrey offered a substitute, strongly condemning the declaration and testi mony, and urging the Louisville Presbytery to forbear further agitation of the subiect, and to return to its loyalty to the Church, and report to the next General Assembly its action in the premises, said action to bo then decided upon by the Assembly. At the evening session Dr. Thomas made a long speech in favor of the report ot the com mittee. The Louisville Commissioners .wiinii an invitation by the Assembly to de'lend tue action of their Presbytery. FROM BALTIMORE TO-DAY. Political Movemeutn CffVct of Cayenne ler- Mrs). .1 ir.
