OIIS E . ; The recent heavy individual failures in this place, ana the total ruin of the Levvistown Bank, have withdrawn from among us a very large ussuagt i active capital. A depression of prices, at.i a general stagnation et business, f tlknvcd this unfortunate crisis in our monetary a tirs. Public confidence i, slowly revising, for it in seen that many of our leading business . men have lirmly borne the pressure, aim fait.i fuily met their engagements. Bui iiinuy, w inch represents the labor and other resources t tnu people, Is rerj scarce: there is tot sufficient capital afoat for even the limited operations now undertaken. At present the paper of Banks in -her States, counterfeit, altered and depreciated notes, with a very sig<.. ieaven of good p. per, constitute our currency. Gold and silver are unusually and most inconveniently scarce. Knowing and feeling the absolute ne i cessitv of an increase ol capital, it gives us much pleasure to inform the public that several wealthy and highly respect.-.'.

The proposed National Fast on the third of August, in connexion wit!', the circumstances inducing the recommendation by the iTt-id it of the United States, is, says the Daily News, a fruitful subject for reflection. To such as can enter into the mysterious laws of God's providence, it is a matter of solemn and im pressive import. GotlS laws are not as man's laws. They never change. They ar never liable to imperfect; They n ed no amend- - ment or alteration to ■ .at dliferent countries or , different ages. Thcv are '• the same yesterday, to-day, and forever." They arc just ami good, , ari l designed for no e-pecial cla- The rich and the poor, the proud ami the humble, the learned and the unlearned, the mighty and the weak, are all and alike amenable for th< ir vio lation. There is no way of escape for trans gressors. There is no system of Bailment by which the rich can purchase pardon or enlarge ment. The instrument- in heavy burdens, and to i t the oppressed go free, the execution of the judgments of God are never bribed. Wealth, power, influence—no worldly distinction can obtain the smallest grant of favor, alleviate a single pang, or purchase aught that is denied the poorest and meanest. The same laws : which were given to Mu-. s upon tables of stone : amid the thunders cf Mount Sinai, arc those by which the world is ever to he governed, tried, an.l judged: and nations a-, well as individuals are responsible to God fur every violation of those laws. So also every v iolation of nature's • law-, which are a put of God's, brings on it. own penalty. It may not corac at once, but come it will sooner or later. It has been rc ' marked by an eminent writer that excesses in youth are drafts upon maturer age, payable in ten, fifteen, twenty, or thirty years, with com pound interest. A declaration more pregnant with the truth was never made. It is so too with God's moral law, every violation is sure of punishment, i We have abundant reason as a people to feel humiliated in the sight of God, for "we are prune to do evil, and that continually." We have been vain-glorious of our prosperity, and have claimed for ourselves the lionursdueto the God of battles. Btrong in What we have r< girded as our own might, we have forgotten God, and it may be, have persecuted the weak. For our sins the judgments of God arc upon us, and it becomes us to humble ourselves before Him, that IBs righteous anger may be turned a .vuy, that Hi-, people be not utterly destroyed. The proclamation of the President appointing a day of fustir.' and pr: yer, has been warmly r> - speeded to, ami it is to fie hoped it may be kept throughout the length and breadth of the Union in a manner acceptable to the Supreme Ruler of the I Diverse, in whose hands our lift: is. We too often forget our ear i-, never deaf to those who would supplicate His mercy, nor his face turned awav from those who rightly seek Him. i Ilt is a "duty wc owe as a people, that the day ! be e very w here observed, not only as a day of ahstincnce from worldly. employment, ai-.d of humble supplication to God, that lie may stay the scourge which is now devastating the coun try, but it should also be a day of good works, which are well pleasing in the sight of Heaven.

The ib! lowing resolutions wore adopted at meeting : WHEREAS, We have with feeling of f > liveliest interest watched the recent an! cheering tendencies of the European States and nations, to break away from the strong bondage too long fastened upon them. We have seen with gladness our Austrian Em peror lay down hi" crown at the bhUhts-rj the Peojde , and his successor after making new pledges take it up again with tht.i have. We have seen another kingde-ce;id from the throne once occupied by C'hari • rnagnc ;md seek safety for himself and L children in a foreign hnd. We have seen and heard that ancient people a'o g the Tiber, and on the seven hills, rise up and say in the classic tongue of Cicero to the Vice gerent of God, "to your spiritual do minion tec meekly submitbut len/th'd "temporal sceptre down." And we now see Germany rise in her old but deep founded strength, with a strong hand and an hones: heart join in the s'ruggle of the natior,-. and of the race of .Man to be nothing or free. With these stirring events before us we must think that the future ol Europe trill not be as the past : but that shortly the nations will dictate to the man that re cords its annals, a better and brighter hi?- lcry. The history of nations subject u no institutions but those the people frame for themselves. Therefore, Resolved, That in common with ah friends of civil and religious liberty in t 3 United Slates and elsewhere, we sympa thise feelingly and anxiously with our fel low men in the nations of Europe that are now struggling forfreedom. 2d, That enjoying as we do the privilege of choosing our own rulers and of pursuing our own happiness in our own way—sub ject to laws made by representatives and governors of our own choosing—we desire that all nations may ba thus favored. 3d. That as nations, descendents and ad mirers of the talents, learning and science of empire thatgave to the world a FAVST, and to our own country a STEEREN, we arc tl; day collected to express our anxiety for the success of free principles end institutions in the countries of Europe now strnggli _ to be free. 4th. That we have no belief in the Di vine of Kings, or Emperors, but u believe that men having capacity to look after their own affairs in reference to world ly substance and business transactions.can judge for themselves and chosse fur them selves who will suit them to rule over them. sth, That we rejoice in the noble and almost incredible stand the Hungarian* have made, and at the last accounts w re continuing to make, against the combined forces of Austria and Russia, and we are inspired with confidence that the descen dants of the men who first gave check to the Roman power in the fifth century v drive back from this territory, the Bin a v Eugh and the Russian Rear. (Ith. That the conduct of the Italian*, w and out of the City of Rome, struggling against the despots of their own Country, and the treacherous and cruel present gov ernment of France, is worthy of the ad miration and praise of all men desiring equal rights: and believing as we do, thai they are right, we prav God that they utay be successful. 7th. That wc mourn for the present con dition of the French. They have been deceived by the blandishment of a great name and we fear that the country of l- v t AYETTK, is doomed to a more sanguinary contest and bloody strife than site has v< passed through for equality of right-* and fraternity.— Oh .'
