The Synod of Missouri, at a meeting hold it few weeks sines, adopted a similar resolution, de . elating themselves independent of the Cleveland' Assembly. The Synods of Mississippi and Vir ginia have also withdrawn from the Cleveland Assembly, all of which has been on account of that body having censured members of the church for holding slaves, and that without a hearing or trial.

Aolosor perusal of the vablous sections of the Relief Bill satisfies us that ii is not what this com munity had a right to ex[p'et It does, indeed save the corporate existence of the banks until neat April; but at snob cectrifice of the constitu tional rights of our eity,fisnirs, and, through thorn, of our business men, that it may be doubted whether it will not be rejected. Several of the sections are objectionable ; but the fisted will, ty.4 think, stand forever conspicuous as an instance f hasty and ill-advisedlegislation, full of injus co, subversive of the plainest prin ciples of so d currency, and palpably in violation of the ConOtution. It provides in so many words, that our banks shall reeidve, in payment of debts duo them, the notes of ell the other banks in the litato, whether the latter are specie paying or not. What this will amount to our city banking institutions will discover, when they find their vaults stuffed with the irredeemable promises to pay of doubtftd and distant banks, who will flood the State with their notes. Wo look into our Federal Constitution and road, that "No State shall make anything lad gold and silver eoin a tender in payment of debts." What strange blindness bus struck our law-makers, that they should either overlook or disregard so plain a prohibition? It may be urged, perhaps, that as,thls eeotion is not obligatory on the banks, without their acceptance, that it was competent for the Legislature to make anything a legal ten der with the consent of the creditor. But we answer, that if the Legislature, in re newing or extending a charter, can oblige n bank, as a condition, to swept anything else than gold or silver in payment of debts, it can also put them under the same obligation in granssng a charter ; and, if they can do it In a special char ter, they oan, also, in a general banking law—for it is a voluntary not on the part of corporators to accept a charter or not. Thus, by a mere subter fuge, the Legislature of any State could violate or render nugatory that constitutional provision which guaranties a currency' resting upon a gold and silver basis. In regard to this third section, however, it is said, that each bank has an ample protection in the provision which authorizes information to the Go vernor and a commision of inquiry against any bank that is unsafe. Who can say what consti tutes safety? or who shall disclose the facts, upon which safety or unsafety is predicated? or who shall turn informer, and take the risk of such a proceeding? In such a proceeding, a mere presentation to the Governor would destroy the credit of any bank, and close its doors, to all into Its and purposes, as effectually as a judicial decree of forfeiture. The inevitable result, we think, of this section must be mutual suspicious and jealousies, prosecu tions' and retaliations among the banks of our State ; and we predict that before the first of April, 1858, there will be more discredit and distrust among themselves than has ever existed before. Gold or silver in payment of debts is the only sol vent of the difficulties of all credit systems; and as legislation deviates from this standard, to that ex-' tent will difficulties accumulate. As the matter now stands, the more worthless bank notes, being the cheapest, will be sought for, to be used in payment of bank debts, tho course of exchange, will bo obstructed, and the institutions who aro most careful of their credit will find their Melina 'absorbed by being compelled to carry the Over . ..issues of those who are. least careful. If a difference oxide between the notes of different blinks, in this State, of two per cent. In specie, paying times, that difference will run up to six and ten per oent. when their notes be irredeemable. Of ems°, debtors will pur chase at these rates; and we shall have repeated in these days what occurred during the Revolu tion, when Continental money was declared to be slept tender—the creditor running away from his debtor to escape from the payment in depreciated 'currency. This section was the favorite of the Governor and his Attorney-General. and it contains the hard terms upon which alone they wore willing to afford relief. We hope our business men will fee/ duly grateful for the favors thus obtained. PHILADELPHIA, SATURPAY, ..6 CTOBEII. 17, 1857. THE CALIFORNIA NEWS.

' Owing to some recent developments tin regard to the United States branch Mint, the Grand Inque4 of the United States for the Northern Circuit and District have been in session for the purpose of 'examining, closely into the administration of its 'affairs. On Friday last, Augustin Haraszthy, late .molter and refiner at the Mint, was arrested by U. 8. Marshal Solomon, on an indictment for em bezzling 8.000 ounces of gold bullion, of the value 0150.550, and one bar of gold of the value of $l,OOO. The indictment was found upon the information of Major 3. It. Snyder, Treasurer of the Mint; the Superintendent, and others Col Haraszthy ions admitted to hail in the sum of $20,000 no prinoi pal, and in the further sum of $lO,OOO, Thomas Hayes and Dr. Prouht being suieties. In connection with the affairs of the Mint, wo would add that two clothes dealers, by the name of Herman and Isadore Ilium, have been charged by John A.

OREGON. Our dates front this Territory are to the sth inst. The Constitutional Convention was making rapid progress, and the more important roport, had been under discussion. The slavery iF91.10 finds little favor, and, as in California, the citizens seem dis posed to let it alone. - . Our dates from Brigham Young's dominion aro to the sth of August. The "Saints" still 'breathe defiance against- the Government, and seemed de termined not to submit peaceably to the mandates of the official representatives who are en route thither. A ridiculous report obtained some credence here a few days ago to the effect that General Ilarney's command bad been defeated by the 3forrnons with groat slaughter. It is well known that the former could not, at present writing, have arrived in the territory occupied by tbo polygamists By tho way of Oregon wo have dates from Hono lulu to August 7th. The finances of the Hawaiian government aro in excellent condition. The in fluenza was abating. There had been an earth quake felt at Hilo. Business was again reviving. During the past fortnight, our stocks of assorted me, chandise have been eivollon by the arrival of nearly one third of the whole loot which, at the date of our last review, was advised as being on the way hither from home Atlantic ports. The imports, therefore, in some respects have been very heavy, and have had a demos. aing influence upon the market. This remark holds good with reference more particularly to Candice and Raw Spirits. Ca the other hand, we may remark, that in the face of very considerable receipts of several de acriptiona of provisions and OtOentiei, the market has sustained itself remarkably well, and the jobbers have evinced somewhat more readiness in taking up desirable invoices than has been their cent for some time hack. This wee owing, however, be it remembered, to the fact that some kinds of these goods came into market at a time when it was almost bare of stocks; for instance, at the commencement of this month, there was very little Pork, Bacon, Lard, or Now Orleans Sugar, either in first or second hands, and naturally enough, buyers came forward with alacrity for fresh parcels arriving, and senora were enabled to realize good prices. It is, however, only at such junctures that thin market now. tdaya will hear up against largo receipts of part 'cuter lines of goods; it they chance to be of those riescrili- Cons whereof we have already large stock a, it does out matter how those stocks nro hold, prices droop at once, and buyers you hardly ho found upon nay terms. During the past two weeks, there has been a fair in quiry from the interior and North Coast, and the lim pression generally obtains that, for the remainder of this fall the demand for consumption will be steady, but that the country traders, with come particular ex ceptions, will not lay in large stooks. Ouch is now the facilities of communication with meat all parts of the State, throughout the whole year, that there Is no necessity for laying in supplies for such lengthened periods as formerly, and In proportion, of late, aa the country retalllera purchases of the city jobbers have been curtailed, so have the latter class taken fewer goods from that hands. It results, of course, from this condition of matters, that when particular lines of goods aro in ample or large supply, the bulk of the stock mutt be carried ; by the importer or commission mer. clusnt, and the difficulty of maintaining remunerating prices becomes vastly greater than It was formerly, when ajobber would fregoontly buy a three or four months stock of an article which promised an extra profit within that period. The jobbers blase found to their cost that operations upon such a scale cannot be carried on in thin market, and they buy now nail a careful eye to the immediate wants of their customers.

[From the London News, Sept. 18.] The announcement of a bank and railroad panic in the United States is peculiarly unwelcome at the pre sent moment, when so depressing an inihiencv is ex°, cited upon commercial and monetary affairs in this con.: try by the attempted revolution In India, and when still greater gloonereigns in France. It is a most unusual circumstance for the three great money markets of the world to be Una simeltaneonsly stricken In England, however, the mliet is merely the quiet of caution; in France it results from financial exhaustion consequent upon a previously inflated speculation. In America the situation presents many features analogous to that in Franco, but with this difference—that the rottenness is nearer the., surface of things. . Wo have long been familiar with the desperate haste of the American speculator to get rich. That specula tion shall beget extravagance seems to be a law of nature, for what is lightly earned is lightly spent. The result is witnessed in that reckless profuse style of living which forms en striking a feature of society, both in Paris and New York. We in London are quite sober by comparison. For the root of all this, we must look mainly to the facilities afforded to speculation by the modern mania for joint-stock enterprise, especially in the direction of railways England, we may Dope, has passed through her phase of trial, and the lesson has been so bitter that there is not the slightest fear of her again exceeding prudent limits for a very long period to COlllO. In fact, the mere mention of a 'proposal for the construction of new railways within these islands is sufficient to make capitalists button up their pockets in haste, unless a liberal guarantee from a powerful company, or some similarly exceptional inducement, be held out. Sub scribers in England will scatter their money to the four winds of heaven, and construct rai l lwayis for any civ ilized nations of the earth, hut t e idea of making fresh railways at home, after the experience already gained, they utterly scout. The cost of this experi ence la 81101 proportion Pt the 1300,000,000 sterling and upwards already expended as him been absolutely Wasted; and a vast sum this proportion represents. Other countries have yet to pay for their railroad ex perience, and the price will probably, In ninny In etances, be a high one. Of late years France has been repeatedly on the verge of serious financial embarrass ment through investing too largely in earth works. In America, the establishment of the railway system has led to periodically recurring panics, all inferior in severity, however, to the present one. Americana re fuse to allow that they have made their railways too quickly, yet bow often do DO bear them contrasting the number of miles constructed in the States with them executed by Europe, and boasting of the superior energy and enterprise of their fellow-conntryinen. After making allowance for the comparatively lOw cost of the American railways, this very comparison is sufficient to induce an apprehension that I. young community like the United States, whose Moneyed capacity is as yet far below that of England or France , Lan sown the seeds of the present difticultlee through undue haste in rail way construction. The chief questipn of interest to the English mercan tile community is,itove far will the effects of the present panic extend! It is likely that the shock to confidence will lead to much disturbance of legitimate trade? So feces an opinion can at present be ventured upon, we think the answer must be in the negative. The worst feature of the time is the run open the banks; and, unfortunately, no very high opinion is entertained of the caution of American bankers. When the market is easy, they are ever ready to lend reck lessly upon all kinds of railway and other securities; and when pressure arises, a wholesale contraction by the banks frequently precipitates * otitis. It will WO CENTS. certainly go hard at this Juncture with banks which have too large a portion of their means locked up in advance, on railway securities, for the fall of these has been terrific, and no progress could be made with sates under present circumstances The banking his tory of Scotland shows the inevitable consequence of such a departure from the roles by which all banking institutions ought to be governed. But should the high class banks weather the storm, as It is believed they will, the period of trial to the commercial commu nity will probably be brief Afore failurea are undoubt edly to be looked tor, both In New Turk And in other cities of the Union; but there Is strong ground to be lieve that them will be moiety confined to speculators And speculative establishments Should this turn out to be the cage, the ; apprehension of embarrassment on this side, and of a lengthened interruption to the cuurse of legitimate trade, will he greatly alleviated. But this it only part of the evil. After the Ameri can railways have been completed, the stockholders, as has also happened. In England, have exhibited a censurable degree of apathy, by entrusting the manage ment, In many cases, to men of strongly pronounced speculative tendencies, under whose guidance a peril ously lax system of accounts has grown up. ileum has arisen a large mass of Boating debt, calling for renewal periodically, whatever may be the state of the money market. At a period of panic like the preterit, there is, consequently, a complete scramble for money on the part of such railway companies as inayhuippen to went funds to meet liabilities falling doe. What can be imagined mere discreditable to the whole American railway interest than the Scene described by the last mail of the entire financial metropolis waiting in trembling impatience to learn whether one or the leading rallwey companies would be able to obtain from •the bankers money sufficient 16 discharge the Interest on Ito hancis 7 A singular sight we should think it in Englaod to see a crowd of London and Northwestern Railway proprietors besieging the doors of Ileum Glyn's banking-house. en the tip-toe of im patience to learn if the Inn would condescend to pay' the Interest on the company's debentures The finan cial blots of English railway management frequently call for strictures of the press, but shrink almost Into insignificance compared with those presented, and passed by :without comment, on the ether side of the Atlantic The fact is, the whole system of American railway firraticoneeds purification, and one good resale will be gained, lf, the forthcomLog exposures beatitude(' by serious discouragement to the practice, hitherto by far too rift, of remitting immense Masses of bonds for sale, frequently at serious discount, in the English mar ket, But the fitted step towards financial reform must be an improvement In the competition of the railway boards. Unless the public have confidence in the men. they cannot possibly have' confidence in the property which those men administer. 71E COURTS.

The Philadelphia and Delaware River Rail- road Company.—Motion for a preliminary injunction This motion presents for consideration two questions; viz: lat. May the Philadelphia and Delaware River Rail• road lawfully crora et grade the Philadelphia and Read• leg Railroad, at a point where the latter road crosses Frankford avenue 2d. Dan it so errors, without first making or tendering or securing compensation for the damages which may be thereof sustained by the Philadelphia and Reading Rail, road Company I If the first question is answered in the negative, the second becomes of little practical Importance to the case In hand, for In that event no damages would be na l tamed. The twelfth section of the general railroad act prof vides, " that whenever In the construction of Inch road or rondo, it shall be necessary to cross or iuteraect any establiehed road or way, It shall be the dui) , of the prei sident anddlrectors of the said company, so to construct the said road across such established toad or way, as not to impede the peonage or' transportation of persons o t property along the manta." This provision Loapplica ble to the defendant corporation, for it was expressly made subject to all the provisions and restrictions of the general railroad ad, except se far as they were altered ut repealed,by the epeeist wet of incorporation. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. The Erie - and Northeast Railroad Company, 3 Calves, 339, the words of the charter were that " the said railroad shall be :a constructed as not to obstruct or impede the free usd of,auy public road, street, lone, or bridge," Re. And it was there held that the railroad could toot be built on a street no as to cause any material obstruction, and that only such impediments could los created as could not be avoided, and that those which were not epee- Gaily necessary to the making and using of the railroad were unlawful ; that the "Managers see bound to have the street as nearly free from obstructions as they can, and for that purpose to spare as reasonable expenditure of motley or labor." The words need in the get referred to, and those in the general act, do not differ so as to authorize a different role of construction, and, consequently, under the au thority just quoted, I Lave no difficulty in coining to thq conclusion that " The Philadelphia and Delaware River Reams'!" to bound to cross the Philadelphia and Road, lag Railroad In the way that will create the least imps ti. meat to the free use of the latter road. It is also very clear to toy maul that the one road eannot lately be crossed by the other at grades. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, at the pro. posed place of crossing, is conetructed upon * descend., mg grade, towiusla Port Richmond, of thirty-three feet tothe mile; and according to the affidavits presented, upon the hearing, during about nine months in the year, a coat train of immense burden presses this point every twenty-five Palpates en an average in the twenty, four hours. It is also apparent, that the crossing of the passenger cars of the defendant corporation would., be at intervals, dating a portion of the day, of only a, few minutes, as the road lo to be used exclusively as a City Passenger railway. Under Otis state of facts, I am finalyameriueed that the use of the mime track, at the point of crossing, by both roads, would not only, seriously impede the passage of each other's care, but; would also greatly endanger the safety of persons and property. It the General Assembly had expressly authorized one road to cross the other at a grade, or it such was the only practicable way of crosolng, the evil, great as it ap parently is, would Imes to be borne. It is. how ever. not pretended that there to any express legislative authority so to cross; and the evidence shows that the crossing, by meaneof a bridge and embankments, may be made entirely safe, at an expense of from fifteen to eighteen thousand dollars. This amount of expenditure can scarcely be said to offer an Dusupersble obstacle to the plan proposed It would rather, 1 apprehend, be found, in the end, to be an economical use of the corm-, pony's money, Slut it is alleged by the defendant that the right to cross at grade is secured by the action of the board of Surveyors of the City of Philadelphia. The Supplement to the Consolidation Act, loused 21st April, 1883, provides " That hereafter no Railroad Com pany, obese rasa does or shall terminate within the city of Philadelphia, shall have the right or power to locate and construct that part of said road, which shall extend within the Inuits of &aid City, without first sob. milting the plans and surveys thereof, exhibiting the grades awl routes to the Board of Surrey of said city, who shall have power to conform the same, as far as may be practicable, to the general plan and regulations' of said city, as adopted at that time, and all charters authorizing the construction of any redlroad within said city, shall be taken subject to the above restriction." On the 27th October, 18511, the board of survey passed a resolution approving of the proposed plan of crossing at grade, nada the Prankford avenue ahoald be perma nently iraded for curbing and paving. I do not think thin action of the Board of Survey Is Concludes upon the rights of the plaintiffs eorporation, for it had no notice of the submission of the plan and applicatiop for approval, and besides which, 1 am In clined to the Writer' that the board exceeded Its power in approving of a temporary plan which did not corres pond with the grade of Franklin Avenue as fixed by the City Ordinance Again, the act of 21st April, 1855, is entirely restrictive in its character, and it may well be doubted, whether, in any event, the approval of the lo cation or plan of a contemplated railway by the Board of Survey, Is conclusive upon the question of the law-, fiances of the place Or location. It is also urged by the defendant tact as the grade of the avenue ;moth of the Reading Railroad has WA been flied by the city authorities, the Railroad Company have no right to mate an embankment on said avenue, corresponding with the grade on the north side. I see uo difficulty arising from this suggestion, The grade of Frankford avenue, north of the railroad, has been esta blished at 18 feet 8 inches above the level of the nail. and there is no reason to suppose that any other or dif ferent grade will be fixed for the avenue south of the railroad, end if it is not, the embankment necessary to be made in creasing the Reading Railroad, will corres pond with the grade of the avenue, and at the same time will enable the defendant company to comply with the provision in the general railroad act already quoted If n the Philadelphia and Delaware River Railroad Company" hag the right rouse Frankford avenue at all, it may so use It in crossing other establiahed reacts or ways, as not to impede the passage or transportation of persons or property along the same. Upon the whole elite I au, clearly of opinion that the defendant's railroad cannot lawfully cross that of the plaitotill'a at grade, because such crossing will Impede the passage or transportation of persons and property along the wane. I am further of opinion that it may lawfully cross by means of a bridge, erected so as to correspond with the grade of Frankfora avenue, and that the necessary embankments may be placed upon the avenue on either side of the bridge. The power of this Court by injunction to prevent one railroad company from unlawfully interfering with another in the location pf tin reed, is beyond all ques- tion, and to my mind, tt Is clear that a proper case is here sheen for the exercise of this poorer. As already Intimated, the second quesion becomes en unimportant one, and therefore it is unnecessary to consider it It is ordered that upon the complainant Ming a bond in the penal SUM of five thousand dollars, with sufficient surety to be approved of by this Court, or soy dodge thereof in vacation, conditioned to indemnify the defeu danta from all damages that may be sustained by the in., Junction granted upon this motion, an injunction be', awarded commanding. the Philadelphia and Delaware' River Railroad Company, its officers, directors, and agents, named as defendants in this bill , strigtly to at,. stain from building or constructing any railroad so as to' cross the complainant's railroad at grade, and strictly to abstain from coastructing any railroad serail the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad along Prankford avenue, at a lower grade than eighteen feet and eta inches, an the grads at which Frankford avenue has been established and confirmed above the track of the Read tog Railroad, on the north side of said railroad- and, also, etrictly to abstain from interfering or intermeddliog in any manner with the rails or track of the Philadel• phis sad Reading Railroad. This Injunction to remain in full force until the final bearing, or until the further order or this court.
