zrrTER FROM LONDON. The Great English .Panic—Prospect of War —English Legislation—American Arri vals—Mr. George H. Stuart. (Correspondence of the Phila. Evening,Ettlletio.l LONDON, May I2.—This great Babylon, which the English have built, has seen many and wonderful excitements, but it has never witnessed anything like that which is at this moment transpiring. The position of your correspondent has required him to be in the midst of it all The half has not been told you by the English news . papers, and it is not likely that it ever will be. On the contrary, the Times, in leading off, has shown more than its usual cunning in keeping out of sight the real difficulties of this most extraordinary financial epoch. It' will be impossible, hovirever, even for that artful dodger to hide thefinal results. There has been a peculiar state of anxiety in certain influential commercial circles for some months past. The immediate crash, as Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons, last night, is sudden and unex pected; but there are many thoughtful men in England who , have for a considerable time been anticipating that the storm would come. But few, if any, however, expected it to break so suddenly, and in such fury all around the sky. The scene was absolately - narfal. I came la from my quiet retreat in the Outskirts of London—from that part called "Camden," where I keep np my pleasant memories of dear old Philadelphia— on the morning when the tempest was at .its height. Nothing like it was ever witnessed in the United States, and it is admitted on all hands that such a sight was never before seen in Eng land. It was past noon of Friday, the 11th of May. The city was crowded with stran gers, many of them from the country, at tending the religions anniversaries. Ru mors of war between Austria and Prussia ran swiftly along the streets. q'he newsboys were busier than usual,and their large-letter placards more numerous. The report of the suspension of the large banking house of Overend, Gurney & Co. had been spread far and wide, and now there was a ge neral run on several of the local banks. FromThreadneedle street, wherel entered on the scene, to Grace Church street, where I turned off in another direction, the throng packed the thoroughfares all the way by the Royal Exchange, the Bank of England, the Mayor's Mansion House, to Lombard street and Birchin lane, where the offices of the falling house are located. There could not have been less than ten thousand persons, most of them merchants,bankers, commer cial men mixed up with gaping country men and few women. On, on, the crowd surged. Now they stopped a single mo ment, as some curious parties hedged the way, and the Dickens cry of the policemen rose above the hum and buzz—" Pars Hon!" "Pars Hon!" and en they passed by thou sands. The wind was blowing almost a gale and occasional showers fell as only showers can fall in England, without a moment's warn ing. Crowd after crowd swept by the granite front and corners of the doomed banking-house, when there came a rumor, as if by magic. "There's trouble with the Joint Stock Bank!" "Then there's a failure of a bank in more th. n thirty towns in England," was there sponse. "A run on the Mercantile Bank !" cried some one, in a half stiffed voice-. "The T 07 don Country Bank.is swamped!" said anothgee. "Sir Morton Peto is gone!" some one whis vered, with alco.k of sadness that did him credie. The throng now began to sway more and more viclerily to and fro. and there were at one meraeret irn dons of violence—but no-one accrhed to know why. The women hold checkhe for reold rushed up the steps of bto'cfre aee if h2..a `mettle, and carriages ccnreiring citizens dashed along the curtateres to the eide-doors, where old men jaa`aci each other in esaerhaste to save their nrecicua deposits. Alftmeiness at the Ex co--) re - de:ow - 12z suspended. The Stock Board as tarrn of customers as the Desert of Sahara is of flowers. The contiguous news carer offices were thronged, as the BIILLE rn:&: was after "a great- Union victory." Wild excitement ruled the hour. It spread wider and wider every moment, until just before the hour of closing banks, the roar and rush of the people were absolutely fearful. At this moment the cry arose "Mr. Glad stone has driven to the Bank of England and offered a loan of five million pounds from the Government !" This was imme diatriyfollow ed by the intimation that there would be no war, as Austria would submit to arbitratien. The clouds began to lift a iitt:e, and the cro;vcte in the street grew lees . :", The business men gradually withdrew, and quiet resumed its sway with the setting in of night. Doubtless you will have submitted your own reflections on this English Financial Panic to your readers befire this letter reaches them. But, please allow me to say that, viewing it on the spot, it has presented roe with one of the most powerful practical arguments I have ever met in favor of the superior stability of republican institutions over those of a monarchy: There is a growing certainty in the minds of thoughtful Englishmen that it will be impossible much longer to avoid war. From present appearances on this side, Italy will be almost sure to strike for her independ enee. The leg;slationof England will probably secure a tern porary alteration of the English. Bank act of 1844, by which the Bank of England was prevented -from issuing be yond a certain amount of notes. Bat the alteration will only be brief, as it is clear that this crisis has been brought about by speculators. We are having quite a large arrival of travelers from Philadelphia. Among them I notice, with pleasure, Mr. Geo. H. Stuart, his wife and two daughters. They are all in the enjoyment of good health, except Mr. S., who is now improving. He has spoken at several of the London May meet ings—such as the Bible and Tract Societies, the Ragged School Union, the Young Men's Christian Association, and others of import ance. His addresses are everywhere well received, as they deserve to be, for Mr. Stuart has made a deep impression ,on the minds of all loyal Americans in Earope, by his noble and patriotic labors in the cause of the Union. MERCURIUS. Household Economy. [Contributed by ”eorge J. Henke's, Cabinet Maker, Thirteenth and Chestnut streetaj MOTHS IN FIIENTTITHE.—There are two species of moths which infest furniture. One is a large fly of silvery white color; the worm is of the same,sbaped like a chestnut worm, and is familiarly known. It early infests furniture. The other is a small fly of a dark drab color; the worm is about one fourth of an inch long, and tapering from the head to the tail. It was first observed by upholsterers about seven years ago. This ly penetrates a sofa or chair, generally be tween the back and seats of sofas, or under the seats, where the vacancy among the springs affords a safe retreat. It may make a lodgement in one week after the furniture is placed in a house. If such should be the case, in two months the worm will appear; and the continual process of procreation in a few months increases the number to thou sands. This moth has no eeason. It destroys in winter and in summer alike, as it is kept in active life by the constant heat of the house. We find at the same time in the same piece of furniture, the fly, the worm, and the eggs—thus showring that they are breeding and destroying all the time. It does not eat good pure curled hair, -but fits , tens its cocoon to it, the elasticity of which prevents it being disturbed. The in side of furniture is used by it only for pur poses of propagation. The worm, when ready for food, crawls out and destroys the covering, if of woolen or plush material, and falling to, the carpet, destroys it. They rarely cut through plush from the inside, as it is of cotton back—but there are instances where they have cut up muslin on the outside backs of sofas. There is no protection against it except continual care. New furniture should be removed from the walls at least twice a week at this season of the year, and should be well whisked all round, and varticularly under the seats, to prevent the fly from lodging. This is an effectual preventive, and the only one known. Cayenne pepper, Scotch snuff; camphor, turpentine, and all other remedies for protection from the large moth are of little or no avail against the furniture moth. Saturation with alcohol will not destroy them when in a piece of furniture. If the farniture is in fested, they may be removed by taking off the muslin from under the seats and off the outside ends and backs, where they congre gate most, and expose it to the air as much as possible. Beat well with a whisk or the open hand, and kill all the flies and worms, which show themselves. This done 'often, will • disturb them, and may make them leave the furniture, as its desire is to be left quiet. When the furniture is free from moths and is to be left during the summer months without attention, it may be pro tected by cainphor in small bags or highly concentrated patchouli. The safest way is to have the furniture well whisked twice a week:.. If the moth attacks the carpet, which they will first do 'under the sofas and chairs, spread a wet sheet on the carpet and pass a hot fiat-iron over it quickly=the steam will effectually destroy both worm and eggs. If furniture is delivered in a dwelling free from moths the upholsterer's responsibility ends there and all rests with the house keeper, as no tradesman can tell whether the moth will attack it or not. • There are cases where the furniture has been in use ten or twelve years before being attacked. It would be as fair to hold the tailor respon• Bible for the safety of clothing as to hold the upholsterer responsible for the safety of fur niture. CITY BJLL TIN.

PRAISEWORTHY.—We see by the proceed ings of Councils that they have appointed a joint special committee to examine and re port upon.the various inventions for pre venting loss of life and accidents from city railway cars. This is most commendable, and will call forth the thank, of the entire community, who have been too long horri fied by the many shocking occurrences in onr streets, there having been no less than fifty-eight human beings maimed and killed during last year. We hope that the gentle men composing the committee will give the matter their earnest attention and ascertain if it is not possible to prevent in futurethese heartrending occurrences. ATTEMPTED ROBDEBIES.—EarIy this morning an attempt was made to enter the dwelling of Mr. 0. H. P. Conover at the southwest corner of Twenty-first and San som streets.

I was pre sent when the following scenes occurred: a colored man by the name of Robert Lewis, who resides at Acretown, was peaceably standing near the door, outside of the court house, when a white man by the name of Jones, under the influence ofliquor, walked up to him, and pushing him so violently that he fell, said "You are a white man, aint you now ?" at the same time making a pass at the falling colored man with his fist, but missed his mark. The colored man at once regained his looting, and -with °Le blow knocked his assailant down, when the colored men was immediately seized by other white men, and dragged into the court room, Jones following, striking and kicking the colored victim, who in return Ricked and struck Jones in the presence of the court, when the colored man was over powered by the sheriff, lawyers and others, and placed at once on trial, for contempt of court, and, on' complaint of Jones, for assault and battery. Lewis, the colored man, said "Jones be gan on me and struck me first." The Court at once stopped htm,saying," You are not to open your mouth --this Court." ' Jones Was the principal witness; another man, so much intoxicated that he could not repeat the oath after the Justice and only kissed Bible for the oath, testified that he SAW the "nigger strike and kick Jones." Toe negro again attempted to say, "He struck me first." Powers, the Chief Justice, and other Magistrates on the bench, told the negro to stopspeaking. "You are not al lowed to speak here." A. number of white and colored men said they saw Jones begin on the negro, but none were called to testify iahis behalf: The negro was ordered to rceoznize in the sum of live hundred dollars ($300) for his appearance before the grand jury at, the next Court. The negro said he had no friends, only a mother, and she had no property. At dais a white man rushed up with a large, knotty hickory stick, and struck with air his might at the head of the negro, but the negro springing backward, avoided the blow; again the white man struck with ail his ;orce at the negro's head, who, again jump ing sidewise, escaped the b!ow; again the white man struck at the negro, now cor nered, but two or three, seizing the arm of the ass.a.ilant, turned this third blow aside from the negro, and his assailant walked out of the door unmolested. Some one remarked"lt will hardl y do to let this pass without notice." The Judges then consulted together, and ordered the striker to he brought in, and put him on trial for contempt of court. A lawyer pleaded his case' and said, "The man did not intend any disrespect to that honorable crairt: he only gave expression, and he thought right expression to the highly OM ragea feelings of the court and of every hon orable man in the room, towards that con temptible nigger, who had committed upon an honorable citizen of their county, an out rage sufficient to excite uncontrollable pas sion in every good citizen, and the only wonder was that every man who saw it had not set upon the nigger and demolished him on the spot. The Judges, after consultation, decided, however, that it was a contempt of the Court. and decreed that the tine should be $2 CO, when Jones, who first assailed the negro at the door, stepped up and paid the line, and the man thus released walked out nursing and swearing at the Court, the Sheriff and the nigger. The negro mean while stood in mute astonishment waiting to be disposed of'. The Court, after a low , time,. sent for a military guard from the U. S. Soldiers„ who took him to the U.S.Guard House where he now lies, waiting for the county; to provide a jail of their own. • Respectfully, JAcon H. VINING, Supt.; Friends' Freedmen's School,.
