The Bank of England—lts !Charter, and
the British Government.
For the third time in the , twenty-two
years' history of the Peel Act of 1844, the
Bank of England hasbeen compelled to ask
of the Government a suspensiort of its terms
of incorporation. For the third time the
Ministers of the Crown have Interposed to
save its charter from legal forfeiture. On
Friday, the llth inst., the Bank had not the
- wherewithal to continue its paymentsto de
positors, its reserve tif - notes • being 'so re-*
(Inced that, without an Intimation from the
Government of relief it could not have gone
on with its business another day. On such
an intirifation it'did proceed with - its -dis-
counts and payments so close to the point
of entire exhaustion that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer announced in the House of
Commons at midnight on Friday, that the
Government had authorized an over-issue of
notes, and would ask of Parliament the pas
sage of a bill of indemnity for this violation
of the Peel Act of 1844.
This, in brief, is the'suspension of the
_Bank of England as announced in the news
of yesterday morning by the steamer Cuba.
Cur Eng Han friends in New York, or some
of them, at least; say the bank has not sus
pended speciepayments. Technically, they
are •right; hut practically the bank on
Frida3r- had neither .specie nor its once
secured notes to continue business, twenty
four hours ,longer. , Practically, it was in
imminent peril of suspension in its worst
phase; 'for its gold being locked up in the
Issue Department, together with £15,000,000
of.publie stocks for thaieeuritY of its notes,
and its notes being exhausted, the, great
establishment wasat a dead-lock, as it had
been on two similar occasions before. in
1847 and 1857. • The Peel Act authorized the
employment of 'only £14,000,000 ef. public
stocks, in addition to the gold, in the Issue
Department; but' as the same.act antheri
zed £8;000,000 circulation by the provincial
'kinks of England, without the sixty miles
circuit of London, and these banks subse
quently surrendered £1,000,000 of . this pri
vilege, the one million was transferred by
Government to the Bank of England.
• From the great peril of Friday, May 11th,
the, bank was rescued by. the Ministers of
the Crown, by authorizing a suspension of
the Peel Act, and an increased issue of
notes. The relief to be sure was not to the
bank alone, but to the whole financial and
trading public. It was absolutely and in
stantly imperative. It could not be delayed
even for the brief forms of a bill of indem
nity to be passed through thetwo Houses of
Parliament. The suspension took place on
the advice and assurance of Her Majesty's
First:Lord of the Treasury, Earl Russell,
and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Glad
stone, that it should not work a forfeiture of
charter.
It always appeared strange to us that the
governing power of the English system of
banking should have persevered in attempt
ing to maintain the exact proportions of the
original Peel Act of 1844, which they have
now three: times failed to keep inviolate.'
The trade of the Kingdom has been trebled
since 1844. The great stimulants to this in
crease, and indeed to the increase of the
commerce of the world, were unknown in
1844, and almost unheard of by Sir Robert
Peel When he was removed by death in 1850
—we mean the extraordinary gold discove
ries in California in 1848.50, andin Australia
in 1851-2. The principle of his Bank Act,
was, perhaps, the best for the time. He be
lieved that £14,000 3 000 of notes, based on
public stocks, in addition to the notes
secured by the gold in the Issue Depart
ment (and which cannot be used to pay de
podia, except by the absolute cancelation
of a corresponding amount of notes,) were
sufficient for the paper currency of the great
establishment, but there is no reason to
suppose that had he lived ten or fifteen
years longer, or even five years longer, he
would have insisted upon the same arbi
trary basis, without reference to the rapid
and enormous growth of trade. ,He had
already seen the Bank Act once suspended
in the famine crisis of 1847,- and could not
have been a_ believer in its infallibility, as
many of his successors in the administra
tion appear to have been even after the sec
ond suspension- of 1857. -
The old expedients adopted in this case by
gr. Gladstone of; provisionally, allowing
the temporaty addition of £5,000,000 or
X 10,000,000 to the circulation of the Bank,
has probably by this time brought relief, if
not commercial ease. And the effect will
be, or certainly ought to be, a revision and
permanent enlargement of the celebrated
Peel Bank Act of 1844. N. Y. Times.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28.—The Mexican
Imperial Consul has received official de
spatches froth Mazatlan, of May 16th,
stating that the Liberals attacked the garri
son of Hermillo on the 14th instant, and,
after a bloody struggle, captured and pil
laged the town.
The Imperial forces subsequently arrived,
and after, killing two.in hundred of the Libe
rals, drove out the rest and recaptured
nearly all their booty.
- Mr. Ainza, an American citizen, and Don
Gonzalez, who refused to give $40,000 to
the Liberal cause,are said to have been
'cruelly murdered, together with thirteen
Americans.
The Imperial forces defeated Corona, at
'irialoa, driving him thirty-five miles and
Vining one hundred and eighty men, be
aides capturing a large amount of ammu
nition.
Several Wealthy families have arrived in
fins' city; on the steamer Continental, who
fled from the Liberal rale.
The published accomits say that at the
eagle of Hermillo; the Liberals murdered
thirty 7 five foreigners and five hundred citi
zens, 'who helped to defend the town. A
strong division of Imperialists started from

and "all women violated. The question of
xepublican or monarchial principles was
entirely set aside, and the whole population
of Sonora were rising to revenge the cruel-,
ties of the:Liberals. '

A Lucky 'llaknakeir.
• The Russian peasant who saved the - life of
the Czar is a signal instance of the embsr
rassing position of a man upon whom ho- -
nors are thrust. 'lt appears (that, he is
wholly uneducated; and therefore unfit for,
the cultivated society into Which 'his• lot is
now cast through the gratitude of Alexad
der. Gen. Tod)eben, the defender of Sebas
topol, has undertaken the task of imparting
the needed instruction.
Thenaine of this lucky person'is the
Me one of Joseph Kommissaroff Kostrom
ski. His patent of nobility has been pa
lished, and a correspondent writes of him
thatl- "he Is - absolutely a -martyrto' public
feeling, and has no doubt many a time
wished himself back at hat-making. Not
content, with giving him ovations at thea
tres, poor Kommissaroff has had to eat and
drink with all sorts and conditions of men,
from the artizan to the prince. At a dinner
given by the nobles of St. Petersburg to the
deputies from Moscow and other places,
Who have come with addresses to the Em
peror, Kommissaroff sat next _to Count Or
loff Davpdoff, who was in the chair. There
was the unfortunate Kommissaroff going
through his second dinner that day, dressed
for the first time in the stuffy uniform
Uf .a nobleman, and wiping his hon
est, hot , face with the trusty right
baud that - shoved- Karakosoff's elbow.
His health was drunk amidst cheers that
Might be comparedlo the roar of artillery,
and he returned -thanks in words that did
not reach either his neighbors or the report-
Urs, on account of the enthusiastic uproar
;which his presence created. How Mrs.
Komrnissaroff passes her time is not so well
known, for her husband's popularity is but
ilittle reflected on her. ' She appears, how
ever, by:his side in a photograph which
Meets with an immense sale in the streets
of the capital. Bat of course she will come
ha for some of the good things that are
lavished on her husband. Moscow sends
him'a gold sword of honor, the Emperor
gives him a pension, the inhabitants of St.
Petersburg a house, and the nobles of every
province are soliciting the honor of inscrib
ing his name in their genealogical registers.
The Emperor of Austria has sent him the
Commander's Cross of the Franz Joseph
Order.
Terrifie Tornado at, Honesdale, Pa.
HONESDALE, Pa., May 28.—A. terrific tor
nado swept over the lower portion of this
borough last evening. The immense cov
ered bridge, spanning the Lackawanna river
at Sixth street, was lifted 'a distance of six
feet in the air and fell into the river. It is a
mass of ruins.
A boy who had just crossed the bridge was
carried some fifty feet up the river. Several
barns, outhouses, ike., were demolished.
Trees and sticks of timber filled the air, fly
ing like shingles.
The course of the tornado was from west
to east, It then turned and went south, and
veering again finally took a northeasterly
course. No lives were lost. The thermome
ter indicates seventy degrees.

of William McKay Hoge. Thirty-two of
the deponents egreed that his reputation

ST. Lours, May 28.—The steamer Leonora,
bound from Benton ' was burned below

on which there is an insurance of 815,000.
The cargo, which was valuable was insured.
INDIAN DIFFICULTIES IN ARIZONA.—The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re
ceived a communication from Superinten
dent Leihey, from La Pas, Arizona, dated
April 12th, in which information is given of
an outbreak between the whites and a
party of the Hualapois, which originated on
the 6th-ult., at a place called "The Willows"
on the road from Fort Mofare to Prescott.
A party of five white men, who were on a
prospecting tour, had made their camp
there, and whilst four of them were absent
the Indians killed the white man in camp,
and burned the cabin, As soon as this be
came-known at Hardyville, a settlement
seven miles above Fort Mofare, a party of
armed citizens immediately went out and
killed in all nine Indians—among the num
ber the Chief of the Hualapois—and several
women and children.
Superintendent Leihey thinks it by no
means improbable that an alliance will be
formed between the Hualapois and Chinne
benoas against the whites, and says if such
proves to be the case, the condition of the
white settlers on the river will be very pre
carious, owing to the insufficiency of troops
stationed in that portion of the territory.
He also remarks in his communication that
the only safety for life and property on-the
river is the establishment of the Indians on
reservations, in order to accomplish which
the presence of troops will be actually ne
cewtary. '
MEDICAL STATISTICS OF THE WAB.—The
Secretary, of War, in compliance with, are
solution of the Senate, Calling for a comppn-,
dium of medical statistics collected during
the war, states, on the authority of the
Surgeon General, that the records of many .
of the hospitals have not been received,and
that the tabulation of those at hand is not
complete, and that any compendium of the
nieiical statistics of the war, at this time,
must necessarily be based upon - partial
data, and hence be unreliable and valueless.
