Nothing' will 'Occasion more profound alarm to the true patriot, as he deliberates upon this spectacle, and, gives way.. to the reflections of future dishohor,which it suggests. That must, indeed, be an irresisti., ble power in the State 'which• is greater than the State itself ; morepotent •than the lA's; and mina comManding and ir,ioversible , than. the Constitution itself. 'We kdow 'that it Is urged, and Many cases,,justlY,;urked', that these resfdts would not have falowed-suspeu sionihad not the people , themselves been in extrieably ; surrounded by complications with, the banks; , had not trade felt the strong band of the money power upon its throat; 'and' had not mechanies and laboring men been more, or less dependent upon this power 'for Airs ployment and food. But , it- is well worthy of consideration, not 'whether this wide spread demoralisation to which we have referred is • directly charged to the • banks,, or indirectly followed troll"), tbeidis= tresses of the people, but whether there will will be any protection hereafter for, the great interests of society under the segia of I the:law, and whether another statute, or another 00U stitution framed, to serve and save the people, may not at the convenience of the' banks, :be: over-ridden ,or sulio'rdinated, ' or utterly and forever put down. This is the question. 'lf we ltiok over pie list of laws adopted, bi the several States of this Union for the restraint of banks of issue; if we read the prOvisions of thd several Constitutions,' Some of Well make suspension almost a penal offence, and others of which prohibit the circulation 'of' any bank notes ;whatever, we will be impresied alike by the, severity of these several, enact ments, and by the consciousness that they can= not be' Wielded,' and were neier intended to be violatedivith impunity. • , The case of the banks of New York prel Bents such a, picture as may well excite'the gloomiest apprehensions. They , were In- Whited from suspension by a constitutional provision. The Legislature'tOuld give, them' no relief. long " period of time, mist have elapsed before they could have 'been released from the' penalties imposed for such attimeri-' sion, and hefirie such releatie coidd come, ac cording to the terms of the Constitution itself; they. must have gone Into liqftidation, land have utterly •passe4,out of existence.

"commercial community could withstand Such a tax , upon its•business T no legislation can meet such exigencies.' , , With these facts in view, and assuming that no one's property is worth half as much geld to-day as It was six months ego, let no One auppose,that the difference can be made up by. legislation'.

Consols, which were 001. on the 6th, had de clined to 891 on the 10th, 'a fall of nearly two per cent. " The' Bank. of England lied raised its rates of discount to 6 Percent,' but' elsewhere it was 7 per cent. and upWards. The bullion in its vaults had increased £618,000. The drain of gold, from England, had commenced, and the k'atropa brings over £68,160 in specie. ,Further large•shipments of gold were expect ed, and the United States and India would draw away as much as two or three millions sterling in a few weeks, itwas expected. The feeling in the London money market •was that the worst had eventuated here, and that people wore neediessfy panic.struck. The 'Arabia would carry out • .the news that the ' Now York Banks had suspended specie payments; ,which intelligence would produce a very different and lees favor able impression: Meanwhile the Market re port is "Advance in Cotton—Decline in Breadstuffb." ' How curious it is that when cotton is up, breadstuffs are down. We seldom find an exception to this.. Of political news there is little, except that the religious feiid (induced by the street preaching of the Rev. Mr. HANNA and his friends) which had led Belfast to' be placed Udder Martial Law, was, so far from subdued, thatthe Irish Executive had been compelled to extend the limita:of the Proclaimed district around Belfast to , prevent people depositing fire-arms just outside of that 'town; and "mighty couvaynient" ter immediate resump tion', in the event of "a bit of a scrimmage." Apropqs of Ireland: CATHARINE HATES, her best! ballad-singer, had changed her condi tion, having been married in London, in her thirty-eighth year, to Mr. Bushnell, of New York. • The expected death of FREDERICK WIL LIAM IV., King of Prussia, is spoken of in the EurOpean journals. He has just completed his tiftyleighth year, but his constitution is tinder stool' to have been undermined since 1848, by his addiction to the excessive use of intoxi cating drink. When he ascended the throne, (June, 1840,1 and for several succeeding years, FREI/ERICK Watisu was one of the most de senidly-popular sovereigns in Europe. The manner in which, during the year of revo lutions (18480 he professed the moat liberal opinions, and acted most tyrannically, will ever be his reproach, living or dead. He has been truly characterized as "time-serv ing, vacillating, and insincere." As he has no child, ho would be aucceeded by his brother, FREpERIC WILLIAM LEWIS, Prince of Prussia, and father of the young gentleman who is to marry the Princess Royal of England. He is a military martinet, with the, character of being an Absolutist in politics. In 1848, he certainly showed a leaning that way, and quit ted IPrusia, for a time, in consequence. But he never took any vary decided political parti and, with his character for good sense and ilain dealing, would be as likely as not to govern Prussia with liberal and paternal kindngss.

To 41s Excellency . 4:4If . 6II . BUCTIANAN, Prteident of the United Stater Alf Dein. Sin :, There is great distress in our midst. Hundreds 'of operatives of the various trades are at this moment unemployed. The sud den 4rrest of all business, produced by the crisis in monetary' affairs, ' has plunged entire families in the deepest gloom. There is a dreary prospect forte working and laboring classes in the ap prottalaingYalement season., Winter, with, all its seve i i f ty, is well nigh upon us. It is a duty to pro do for the needy, and Clod ' s blessing will folio all efforts made to alleviate suffering. It has own red to my mind that a means of doing so is In year power. At the last Congress an appro. priation was made for building five sloops of war, witffiauxillary steam power. If one of those yes ids 'were constructed at our navy yard, and orders given' to commence work immediately, much relief would be given to hundreds' depending upon their labor, or the proceeds of the work of their hands, for bread and raiment. Our mechanics and artisans are skilful, indeed unexcelled, in their peculiar vocation. Vessels of war and machinery, constructed in our eity, aro proverbial for efficiency and perfectness. There is assurance, therefore, of the production of a vessel which will fully realise the expectations of the Navy Department, and be a specimen of naval architecture of Which we all may ,bo proud. I bog you,therefore, to please in dicate your desire that the orders solicited to tut oomptish tho purpose referred to may be issued at' the cultist practicable moment, and the eel, I assure you, will merit and receive the generous approval of an entire community. frtilY your friend, ' THOMAS B.

EDITOR: Your correspondent of last week, professing to give tho result of the late oleo. tion in this Senatorial district, was singularly in• accurate. As if purposely to mislead, he gives Mr. Oauffman's name precedence over Judge Bell's, and then awards him a large majority in Cheater. The true vote, as officially ascertained to-day by the conferees, is— esteem—Bell, 6,415 ; Cauffman, 6,155—8e11's majority, 260. DELAWARE—BoII, 1,620; Cauffman,l,6lB—Bell's majority, 2. Bolls majority in both counties, 262.

A search was instituted for him, by parties indignant at his' conduet, and ho was found at his own residence under the ministrations of no lass than three physicians. It appears, that before starting for the wedding, ho was troubled with a cramp in the stomach, and to relieve himself ho took laudanum, which, instead of relieving; him, prostrated him.

Police Iterbis.—The returns of the lieuten ants of the 11. 1 .fferent wards, made to Mayor Vaux yesterday morning, did not possess any especial interest. The only matters worthy of note were the, hearings before Alderman Eneu, at the Cen tral Police Station In the afternoon Conrad Esher,lan officer at the Walnut Street Theatre, and WaShington Conrad, a constable of the Fourteenth ward, were charged with having allowed a crimi nal to escape atter having arrested him. The principal evidence against the accused was that given by the hotel thief, Ephraim Pharo, who is now; under arrest for robbery. Ile testified that he had been arrested by the two defendants on the charge of robbery, and was subsequently suffered to escape on giving them a pawn ticket for a watch said to be worth about 8150, which had been pledged for $4O. The defendants refused to ask the witness any questions, as they thought him unworthy of holier But for their arrest of yester day, certain developments would probably have beau made, by which several thieves would have been arrested and a quantity of stolen property recovered. The watch referred to is supposed to have been stolen by Phan, although he alleges that; ho purchased it in St. Louis abont six months since. The whole case appears to be involved in mystery. Esher and Conrad were hold to answer. The lad named James Dunn, aged about seven teen years, who was arrested by Firo Detective Alexander W. Blackburn, on Monday night, on the charge of firing two stables in the Fifteenth ward, had a hearing before Alderman .fineu yesterday afternoon A number of witneosas were exam ined, and the crime was very clearly proven against the defendant.

Matthew Connelly and Warren Wright wero before the same magistrate yesterday, on the charge of attempting to pass a $lO counterfeit note, purporting to be the true issue of the Bank of Roundout, Now York. They were committed to adstvor. The little boy "Johnny Whiters," who was found, about three weeks since, in the streets, and taken to the Central Telegraph Station, was sent to the Northern Home for Friendless Children yes terday morning by Mr. David Wonderly, tele graphic operator. The little fellow is apparently not snore than four years of age, and is fat and healthy. A child such as this could not have been cruelly deserted, and no doubt his absence bee caused a mother's bosom to be wrung with anxious solicitude. Every effort has been made to find the whereabouts of his friends, but without any sac cuss.) Ile is now in au institution where he will bo properly cared for. . ruck Dealers in the " Neck."—For a nu or of generations past, and at the present day, hiladelphia has been and is. in a great mea sure supplied by the " Nook," with vegetables, frui and herbs, which articles are now popularly known by the euphonious name of " truck."

Its inhabitants osoillete between their cabbage, pumpkins, and other vege table patches, and the markets in which their pro (lncur are sold. The " Neck " was first settled by Swee es, who, in building for themselves, worked twootding to the light they enjoyed, and erected houses after the pattern of their Scandinavian forefathers. Of these structures, a number are still standing in all their quaintness, while others have been modernized by raising the side walls, and lessening the acuteness of the angle formed by the roof trees. And if the dwellings are charac terized by quaintness, a portion of their inhabit ants are no loss peculiar. From long propin iquity, the associations of the truck farmers have become so intimate by intermarriage, that , the " Neck " is rather a family domain than, a district divided among as many dif ferent owners as any similar spot in Germany or France. Tho people of the Nock toil almost without ces sation, but, to do them justice, when the seasons prove auspicious,they make money at a correspond ing ratio. Few agriculturists of a higher grade understand so well the economy of tilling tho soil as do the market gardeners. The value realized from:a single acre by the latter would startle many is farmer who prides himself that in raising thirty bushels of wheat to the acre ho has achieved a feat truly wonderful. From four to five crops are taken from every perch of the truck farm in a single season ; and the system of rotation Is so arranged that a second and different kind of seed is planted upon every patch the instant its growing crop is removed Winter is Corning.—lt is yet too early for briskbrisk, fires, and thick overcoats look effemi nate , those fall days, but winter is coming on, upd his forerunners are among us, with the chilliness of his icy breath about their skirts. Witlf the favored eons and daughters of humanity, the °timing of tho season of snow and ice only in voivos the ordering of now furs, and thick, soft clothe—the filling up of the bin with coal—the put ting In order of stoves and grates—the anticipation of a iherry season of balls, of parties, and of sleigh rides; and those happiest hours of a right-minded man's existenoo, when he gathers his loved ones about his hearthstono of a winter's night, and when the howling blast outside only enhances the appro ciatian of home and home comforts. To these we say that the terrible wind, fresh from frozen regions, that makes such bravo music in their chimneys, and around the angles and gables of their 'comfortablo mansion, carries misery and dew lotion into many a human heart. Winter brings terror to those who lack the comforts of home, who pine for food in cheerless dens, and who have not sufficient clothing to bid defiance to the blast. Thera is a wide field in a groat city fur the practice of charity, and those who hays enough, and to spare, of this world's goods, cannot better evidence their 'appreciation of tho blessings they enjoy than by le ding a helping hand to those who are unable to help themselves. Winter is coming ! Do not let ibt chill blasts freeze up the well-springs of the heart, and hedge in more completely, in i barrier of selfishness, the bettor promptings of nature. Cotble-Sione.—To one hell of 'us Philadel phians an architectural description of the State House would be as great a novelty as it would be to the inhabitants of St. Petersburg. People who look .t things often, think they see them when in reality they do not. Familiarity begets indifference, and Indifference is the parent of contempt. A (Mint)! foot, supporting a lovely piece of femininity, as it trips over the cobble-paved streets, ands an ample number of admirers; but those cobble-stones themselves—who ever bestows a thought upon them? Everj , one of those oval shaped pebbles is probably as ancient as the rock of Iloreb or the crags of Sinai 111 those days in which " there were giants," these mammoth pebbles may have served some juvenile ogre for marbles or *ketones, and then for ages have lain, until the stoue-hackers" of the Dela- ware procured them for our streets. Every stone which now paves the highways of Philadelphia was grappled up from its muddy nest i n the buttons of the Delaware. The spot where they most abound is in that shallower portion of the river lying between Trenton anti Easton. The Men who procure them are "stone hackers," and if over there were in the world a set of fellows proof against cold, hunger, privation, ague, and other evils, it is those very men. Fish ing in the early spring, atone - hacking as soon as the water becomes sufficiently clear and shallow, and pursuing various odd jobs that may " turn up" during the winter, there are few laborers who per form harder work, make wore money, or spend it faster when made, than these Dame men. They usually reside in huts along the river bank during the heeking season. I n the morning they sally forth in a flabbottonsed scow, provided with the day's supply of bread, pork, and whiskey, their only provisions. Coupled w ith tobacco, the ardent is their greatest necessity. Making their way to the desired spot, they jump overboard, provided the waters be shallow, and begin' their work. Furnished with heavy Memel shirts and drawers, and inwardly fortified by a copious imbibition of the stone-hacker's panacea, they plunge into the stream and fish up the paving stones with the utmost diligence. When the water is deeper they resort to grappling tongs, and with such Whet, that the average earnings per man is about three dollars per day, and oftentimes still more. Not all them pebbles, however, will isomer the purpose. They must be emphatically touter stoner, and of the proper shape, or they are rejected. It Is a singular fact, that unless worn by the attrition of water, the stones are of little or no value. The Shorn yields abundance of pebbles, yet in all cases they are porous, friable, end, therefore, valueless. Not so with most of those taken from the river bed. They are dark In color, hard as flint, and very nearly uniform in shape. So expert a geolo gist is the stone-hacker, at least so far as his own holiness is concerned, that He can tell as soon as ha Boos it above the waters whether it will pass cur rent in market When his scow is filled, he returns to Trenton and unloads his cargo upon the wharf. When his accumulation is suffieient, he finds a ready market in dozens of sloop-owners, who ply constantly to Trenton for those miniature boulders. The price paid is adman dollar a Weis or cart-load. Should there be any land-stopes smOng them, they are immediately rejected"; old - hackers, however, are ne ver mi s taken in the go dity:of their wares, and out of a hundred peroboa, not a duzen stones will 'be rejected.

It is announced by means of the city papers that the bank+ have resolved to expand to the extant of 5t,500,000 during the present week, to enable the country banks to move forward the crop. I have no dould,that the gentlemen who received and published this stelcieent believed it, or wished to beii 9 f lint I Fee no reason to believe it until I see that it is VI ne. If it proves SO, it will doubt let do a s ast amount of good It does not require -to be ; I. prophet, dr`spe,:listly endowed with talent, to tee that abile the business of the whole country is :parsl)re.l, the mops unwured. and every one sift sid to badge or trust his neighbor, the people must antler , Tv get relief the crops must be moved and sold, and to d this, concerted action and confidence are required. Every day that ibinr ' , remain as they are adds to our ember reisments, and renders the remedy more difficult and , more costly, When 'the banks suspended, thit is, declared their inability to redeem their prOrainivfo wutledtolnsagihe chat to compen .3feiF this - 'great great - calamity, immediate benefits would arise to .all our; naciney and basinestemn inanities. The chief of these was that we should :bedte:an: augmented 'currency by which the country dealer, could• purchase grain, flottr, 'to , :and fotward them to market on the seaboard; that the factories, • wills, machine sbops t and other industrial estab lishments where' nambern 'of workmen are em ployed, would be set in motion and sustained, and that boarders of specie welsh!' soon see the folly of their fears, and restore their capital to the availa ble wealth of the country. As yet none of these promises have proved. to. be well-feunded. On the coatr.try, with the exception of the promise al luded to in the opening of this letter, we , have no sign of any movement, in the crops. Mills and factories are being closed every day, and hundreds of operatives thrown obt of . employment. Merchants are failing every where; possessors of money are afraid to lend it, and the only disposition evinced by the banks ,is to make themselves as safe as possible. There it not a shadow of just excuse why the banks should not accommodate the mercantile community. They Good not lend tc+ any enormous or undue extent, but that they should arrest the downfall of credit and not precipitate it; that they should resters 'confidence by showing it, and thus put the busi 'new machine again in motion and keep it mov ing., however +slowly, until panic was allayed—is their imperative and unquestionable duty. The financial news from Europa is not encoura. ging. The advance in the rates of the Bank of Eng land with the prospect of a farther advance, and the probability of the adoption of similar measures in Prance, are not at all calculated to encourage. If there were to be united, harmonious, and ener getic measures taken by the financial measures of theleading cities—were they to tern to, and say •' We will move the crops; clear Wrens debts, real ize our wealth, and make business move again," it would be done, and they would be immense gainers. But will they do it?. A friend of ours has just told me that he was unable to pay his gas account to the Brooklyn Gas Company, because that association would not take what is called city money, but wanted gold. My friend said he had just got his bills from a bank. Yo t matter, the we-want-to-make-ourselves-safe principle prevailed, and he mast either submit to hare his gas cat off, oxpay three percent . premium to pay in gold. This is the manner in which largo 1 and wealthy corporations deal with the public, and try to restore confidence! To-day money is in more active demand than ;ast er- day. Rates in the street vary from 30 to 60 per cent , I 04 per cent being only heard of in the ease of some I extra A. No. I individual. The story goes that "the banks are disposed to be a little more liberal." Foreign exchange is &Ole very unsteady and irregular. Sterling may be quoted at 98 atm for Bitty days.
