ANOTHER GRAVE POLITICAL ERROR
ABOUT TO BE COMMITTED.
We have already called attention to the
fact that the Nationapnnielliget*,, taking
advantage of the ieneraissi,af9,,,whf c PP r ey ails
in the country on account absence 54,a
sound currency, has broian gOtlnd:l favid,of
another Bank of they4l*d
lowing article, extriiiteefrohi thntliaperi
contained in Friday's` Philtidelplala inquirer:
"A NATIONAL BANIC.—The Netiond Intelli
reneer closes en able article on the causes of our
fnancial troubles in this language : The reader
who has carefully followed and candidly enn
sidored.rtherline of .argnmept. pursued en this
dims:Cod WilEnow sib loss to discover
wherein lies, In our judgment, the radical
weave - 6(thellidinetal - evils whic h rkiriedioally
afflict the country,,. They spring from an, ill
regulated crirrency. , ' Doubtless Wild specula-,
lion; and rash, overt Wing, and, )uiurioui , ex
travaganesk are the itnitlediate anima of these
reetirring,, uretisures ; Unt behind' them all exists
the procurlig 'cause of Mein all, in' a monetary
system which tends, by the 'Vices and defects of its
,strneture; to create the conditions ,Most propitious
to the natural growth end developinent of those
secondary causes - *high are the care precursors of
eoniing , disasters. And, it is for precisely' these
monetary evils *and' for these, besotting dangers of
our builneis activity that a'llational Bank (with
Ikea° cheeks and limitations which' Must ever be
Applied to'all deposits of newer; whether Iregovern
ment or finance) would afford the speediest, surest,
safest, and iviseat remedy." -,
And yet, notwithstanding the stately recom-
Inendation of a Bank of the, United States by
'the' Nalionctl Intelligencer: and the somewhat
ready endorsement of, it by the Philadelphia
Inquirer, w greatly doubt whether any law.
Oltial,party in this, country' Is willing to go
back upon the experience of the past and now
; to repeat'the great blunder which broke down
one of the noblest, 'organizations that ever ex-
Wed. I The
,Intelliencir and inquirer should
recollect' thatpie'qdiistion'Of t regulating the
currency is,nowbeing discussed at , : thousande
of fleyldell In onr , Bopublie, and' that no man
who Pitlfeises arid bet Or himsel f tures' ,to delly..that - the best :mode 'of:keeping
,
and' disbiirsing
,the public revenue hi that
knOwn aiftle,lndependentl'resSuri: ven..
taisi : to say; that the triumph of the Indepen
dent more to cotrieremen
to' hard-money-doctrines doctrines and to weaken the
traditional' regard lot' a Bank 'of the United
States, entertained in some quarters,'than any
'eVent'iliat 'had transpired since the beginning
ibe OreVernmeet.: !
• - This fact is- not only a source for national
cepgratialation out present; trials, not, onli
thetotinffation upon., which we may build
resistless• future publie prosperity, but
the same tinte:thci Mostinsurmeuntable obsta
cle to the erection of a monster bank, such as
that contemplated' by the 11M/li-enter, and
hoped forhy; the Inquirer. If the revenues of
the Federal Government had been confined in
such 'a' bank, there would now bo no one with
hardihded sufficient to recommend, in the
midst of the certain and overwhelming cola
iniffes that must have followed that event, the
'erection of another Bank of the United States.
What an absurdity, then, to ask the people to
reiu'rn to that very system from :which, they
have been rescued by the Independent Trea
sury'! We repeat, that no party in this coun
try. will againcountt the grand mistake stake of
attaching its fdrtunes to the Bank, of the
rnitedßtates.
• We believe that if Mr. Cray and Mr. Wan-
Bias were now, living they would' themselves
diseetintenance and frown down any such at
tempts; and for very obvious reasons. The
pretext, for a National Bank heretofore was'the
proper safekeeping and disbursement of the
public revenues. That pretext has been for
'retti6ved' by the success of the ,Oenstite
tional. Treasury. But there it another obsta
cle which the Intelligencer and Inquirer both
keep „rant of - View. As to the necessity of a
great bank to regulate exchanges, where, we
ask, 'could any nation ' desire 'a bettor 'system
Of exchanges than that ,which has prevailed in
the United Statei since the Bank' of the
led States
,went. down? There has been no
complaint until now. The exchanges were
quite as regular and reasonable as under
bank, and how amazingly lois the danger to all
the solid.interests of the country 1'
We repeat, no -party his courage enough to
,attempt to, graft upon ..our national statute'.
-Woks any law that must be neither more or
less than Ma extended imitation ef the system, '
.with its fourteen Winked., branches extending
into every State of the:Union; which has just
fallen late ruins: In war, opinten, the day for
banks of issue is,rapidly approaching its close.
They can only taxist,underitiick restrictions as
have neveiheretoforo been applied..: The Idea
that the regulation of our exchanges can be
se'st prorbiated bye flank of the United Stater;
when, in ail seasons, the Independent Treasury
"workaheslthily and well, Is almost universally
scouted. ','2le only effect of this ,movement in
favor of reviving a mamnwth bank will be to
dire - eft/1i people's attention' to' such
,an alterci
lion of the'Federal Constitution as willremove
'tide whole Wetness of making a currency from
tbeSlbtes,:leaeing the business of banking free,
precisely as every other branch of trade is free.

THE NEW MAGAZINE.
The first number:of a new periodical pub
lished at Boston, mid called The , atlantic
Monthly, is before us, and we have pleasure in
drawing attention to two facts in relation to it:
first, that its contents, which are wholly origi
nal, aro considerably above par; and next, that
It does not exhibit any of the peculiar politi.
cal proclivities by which it was anticipated it
would be distinguished. It startswith a strong
assertion that it "will be the organ of no party
or clique," and its opening number certainly
keeps that promise. Without being very
brilliant, it contains many admirable articles
in prose and verse, among which we would es
pecially distinguish the paper on "The Finan
cial Flurry," the desultory paper called
"The Autocrat of the Breakfast-table," the
poem entitled "The Gift of Tritilmius," and
"Personal Recollections of Douglas Jerrold."
It is published by Purmars, SAMPSON, & Co.,
of Boston,and Mr. ZIBBER, of Tbird.street , is
the agent here.
MESSRS. L. J. LEVY & CO
Yesterday evening, the creditors of Messrs. L.
J. Levy a Co. assembled at the store dr that Arm,
in Chestnut street. It is well known that this
great house was compelled to how to the storm
which has lately swept over the trade and com
merce of the country.. The liabilities may bo
taken at lose than $BOO,OOO, and the assets may bo
estimated at $950,000. It therefore is simply a
question of time, and the suspension of this house
was, in all probability, the wisest stop for the into
rests of the creditors. The proposition is to pay
every dollar of the liabilities, and this will be dono
in instalments, which may make an average of fif
teen months for thedisobarge of the whole.
The meeting, at which three-fourths of the whole
'waiters were represented, (that is, three-fourths
of the entire habilitiel,) was presided over by Wil-
Eani E. BoWen, Esq., Of the firm of Brown, Bowen,
,fc Co., bankers, New York. A. E. Boris, Esq.,
President of the Bank of Commerce, stated that he
looked at Messrs. Levy's house as ono of the pecu
liar and popular , institutions of the'city, and as
such, after thirty years of integrity and industry,
fuliy entitled to public sympathy and confidonee.
Charles Henry Fisher, SR., representing Duncan,
Sherman, & Co., of New York, (creditors for $90,-
000,) expressed thefullest reliance on Mears. Le
iy's ability,probity,and ultimate solvent mos ne,and
spoke very effectively in Support of his views. His
observations met with the cordial concur:ono of
every person present. The various banks with
which Messrs. Levy had business relations have
expressed theiroontidence also. The propositions
as to mode 'and limo of payment were accepted
unanimously, and signed olf, , on the spot, by 70 per
cont. of Ale whole body of oreditors.
, This result Is extremely gratifying, as it gives
assurance of the continuance in business of this
important house. Our city readers knout that for
several months past a capacious and splendid store,
destined for the occupation of Messrs. Levy, has
been in course of erection, by W. P. Potrldge,Esq.,
o(New York, on part of the ground in Chest
nut et., adjoining the Girard house, known as the
Butler property, which ho purchased last year.
Notwithstanding the depression of trade, Mr..Fet•
ridge has not taken off one workman from this
building, which, within and without, will be one
of the most convenient, as well as the most band
maila the city. It is HOW so far forward, that in
all probability Messrs. Levy will enter into bal.
nesi-oecupation of it in six weeks or two months.
Its situation is certainty one of the beet in the
city. _ _
CHARLES MATHEWS
Bad weather did not put anr very great check
upon public curiosity, last nigat, for there was a
large audience at the Aeademy of Music, to wit
ness the d ebut of Mr. Charles James Mathews,
eon of that idmitablo performer who delighted a
past generation. He is one of tho best, if not the
best, of English comedians, of tbo "genteel" or
the " aseentrie" school, now living. As regards
looks, Mr. Mathews appears as young as he did
when he visited this country, nineteen years ago.
He first appeared (we moan last night and not in
1888) iu a comedy, adapted by himself, called
" Married for Money," in which ho plays the part
of a young man, husband to a widow "of a certain
ago," who has money, as well as years. During
two acts, be was abominably henpecked ; in the
third he got elevated, and (the champagne speak
ing) asserts his marital independence, and become
.master in his own house. He played with (aqui
site art. Mr. itichings, as a sexigenarian in pur
suit of a young wife, played finely ; Mrs. Silsbee,
as the rich wife, with her eternal °ailing (in alt)
for " Al-Prod," did justice to her part ; and lively
Mrs. • Sefton, the very pink of soubrette, was a
capital Abigail.
Mr. M. was called out at the and of the comedy.
After that, the orchestra, led by Dr. Cunnington,
played the Anvil Overture, (" Il Trovatore") and
received the well-merited honor of an unanimous
Mr. Mathews' second appearance was as Cap•
taut Patter, on his own extravagant interlude,
"Putter versus Clatter," in which he sustained
several characters, with instantaneous change of
aspect and appoarance, incessantly speaking, with
wondrous volubility, all through the place, and
literally not allowing any one but himself to
speak three words in the play. Ile sang his great
patter song, describing a trip to Paris, with two
more (one of them as by a man with a great Gold
in his head) and an amusing tag, in which' he told
the audience what aaoh actor wan about to say.
Mr Mathews was a second time called before
the curtain, and announced a repetition of the
same pieces for this ovening. In Compliance with
recent and rational arrangements, by Mr. Mai
shall, there was no speech from Mr. Mathews.
Of ohms°, on his benefit (which must be a bum-

lIMILT IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION-
RELIEF FOR THE MASSES.
[For The Prose.) '
The vary great number of persons being thrown
out of employment, to encounter destitution, with
all its consequent ills, makes euoh an appeal to
every Christian and pietrlot heart as to Insure con
sideration.
Were these evils only the physical Bearings of
tieing reduced to a scanty supply, and precarious,
oleo, of mere bread and water—of deficient rai
ment—of inconvenient and uncertain shelter—of
suffering from cold, and all of them endured for a
swoon, lamentable as are such miseries, being but
teuaporary,•returniag aocapation would obliterate,
perhaps, - the recollection, eil well as restore robust
health.
But, wo all know, that these evils, great and
harrowing, is Undoubtedly they are, would
prove but trifles compared with those other more
fearful and enduring evils, which destitution and
desperation will inflict on its immediate victims,
and entail upon society at large.
To say nothing of the loss' to the world of the
produce of the industry of so many persons fur an
indefinite period, it will require no prophet's ken
to foresee into what a career of vice and villainy
many thousands will he driven by the conjoined
influence of destitution and temptation. And
when once entered upon such a career, a return, to
'nest of them, would be impossible, and with but
few would:be desired. A moral pollution will
4ave so tainted their souls, that generations wilt
be required to wash out the stains.
These industrious classes are the treasure of the
nation, and their welfare, in every sense, should be
guarded with a watchful and peculiar oars.
They form the great hese of society, and no Influ
ence can afford it without being felt by the entire
superstruoture. Keep this base or great founda
tion of society sound, strong, and healthy, as the
surest guarantee for the warily of all that is su
perincumbent.
Moral pollution is as inevitably contagious as
physical or material decay orAttenness; and the
plague spot cannot rage among the mass of the
people without sending through every range of so
ciety its pestilent vapors. ,
The first and most important duty, therefore,
alike of Christians and patriots, is to see that no ill
befall the industrious Steens; and at this moment,
eminently, is such duty imperative—a duty which,
undoubtedly, all admit. and ell aro ready to Per
form, if only an efficient mode be made clear.
There is no need of exhortation to inspire tho
desire to accomplish so noble, so useful an end ; the
only hesitation is as to the mode by which this can
be done most successfully. With deference, we
venture to suggest that, as a largo amount will
certainly be contributed to relieve the distresses
flowing from want of employment by so many, it
is of groat importance so to apply it as to make it
do the most good.
We will venture a suggestion for public conside
ration, and it is this simple one :
Suppose the amount which would bo contributed
iublicly and privately to amount to $500,000,
which wo deem uo exaggeration. This amount
applied as we propose may be made to afford a re
lief equal to live millions. The modus operandi
might be as fellows : That parties who have dis
charged bands shall continue to employ them, and
that this sum of $500,000 shall bo a reserved fund
to secure against loss those articles manufactured
by the glving..of employment to the people as
usual.
An arrangement of this kind would secure the
employment of many thousands, who, instead of
resolving in charity a humiliating pittance from
the $500,000, would receive a suilloienay in honora
ble wages from five millions, which would be in
vested thus, with tho surety of $500,000 against
loss. To do this, in many cases, the principals
would find means of payment; if in no other way,
by small due bills, which would be received by
storekeepers, landlords, and others, with cash suffi
cient for
,market purposee; or capitalists, with
this argin, would from the combined influence
of profit and philanthropy, make advances and re
°Give the manufactured articles as security. IVe
should thus secure the community against those
most perilous file of idleness—wo should bo doing
our simple duty to the honest industry of the
people—wo should profit by their labor, which
would otherwise be lost, whilo the community
would also incur the calamities flowing from des;
potato destitution. It might be that no loss would
be mado on the product of industry thus em
ployed, and then the $500,000 would be a sum in
addition to alleviate the wants of others inoapablo
of work.
If wo do not give $500,000 in this way to mecum
omployme nt, we shall be compelled to lose ten
times the amount, In additional tames, In vacant
houses, or unpaid rents, by robberies and arson.
Bo that, as a matter of mere policy of dollars and
cents, it would prove the cheapest escape from im
pending serious evils.
We throw out these suggestions, admittedly as
somewhat crude, but as seminal Ideas for other and
better judgments.
How melancholy a lot is man's! The curse pro.
nouneed upon him was, that with the sweat of hie
brow man should earn his brea4. And yet, bow
sadder than this nurse is It, wheilit men in vain pe
titions his fellow-man permission to toil !—when
this anathema is sought as a blessing—when oven
God's curse is denied him in relief! What hu
miliation in man's hopelessly seeking leave to
toil the livelong day!
We are called upon at this juncture by every
sentiment of humanity, patriotism, duty, and self
interest, to exert ourselves by every practisable
means to avert or alleviate the calamities which
threaten to afflict the community during the mm•
tog winter; and if our suggestions shall give rise
to such consideration of the matter as will best se
onia this, we shall have our abundant reward
THE UNION SCHOOL AND CHILDREN'S
Rae The Preee.J
The eighth anniversary of this institution takes
place this (Tuesday) evening, 27th inst., at the
Musical Fund Hall, at 71 o'clock.
This society deserves the support of the citizens,
for it is one of their best friends.
On a reoont visit to the Homo, at the corner of
Twelfth and Fitzwater street, two little pleasant
faced boys wore introduced to the writer, schuss
present appearance indicated qomfort and happi-
ness. These wore the poor outcast children of the
family, whose history was brought before the pub.
lie in the papers a few days ago. These were the
children who near midnight were thrown into the
street with their parents, and whose father died
the same night in the station•house—and while
their mother was convoyed to prison, the humane
police officer remembered that there was a bettor
place for the children. Now they are to be found
under kind maternal care, enjoying the privileges
of a good school, morning and afternoon, sitting
down at an orderly and well•eupplied table, join.
ing in the sports of their companions at the play
hour, and when evening comes, each one tucked
away in his little iron bedstead for sweet sleep.
On Thursday last there were one hundred and
twenty-seven children in the house, ages ranging
from two to twelve. Of this number about thirty
are under three years of age, and compose a very
attractive nursery.
No applicant coming under the description of
those for whom tbo institution is designed is over
refused admittance. The process of thinning out,
by placing children in good families in the country,
le continually going on, thus snaking room for now
censors.
No one will dispute that an institution which
gathers up the nogleoted and destitute children of
the inebriate and the convict, trains them for use
fulness, and provides them homes In well-regulated
families, Is ono of the best friends of the °liken,
and as such it is commended to the fostering care
and support of this community.
Atlautic Steamers
Tho Vanderbilt went to sea on Saturday with an
enormous crowd of passengers—nearly six hundred.
The Atlantic wee to have nailed at the sates hour,
but a serious fracture iu her machinery was die
covered at the last moment, whiob will detain her
three ur four days. Very great Injustice was done
to our mercantile community by the refusal of the
Postmaster-Oeuoral to permit hor mails to be sent
out by the Vanderbilt. It is a very poor cot:1301%-
11°p to be informed that "Mr. Collins is responsible"
for the delay. It is very evident that a compete
revolution is in progress in our system of ocean I#o6l/1
navigation. The At lantio was going out with only
twenty passengers. Com. Vanderbilt is rapidly
effecting hie purpose of breaking down the monop
oly wide.' the mail contracts have given the other
linos. 1111 first blows are aimed at the Col
lins line—al be always sails on the same dry with
its beet steamers. He carries letters, n , ,t upon
contract, but receiving as compensation the pos
tage paid. Ile has reduced the price of a passage
very largely, and has made some of the quiekost
trips ever effected. The result is a very serious
ourtailtnent of tbo patronego of the Collins line—
and unless their ships also reduce the price of pas
sage it must inevitably be broken down. The
Cunarders from this port do bettor, because Choy
sail on different days and enjoy abetter reputation.
But the Cunard line from Boston has been coin
palled to reduce its rates by the competition of the
lino of screw stannic': from Quebec, which is
making very rapid passages, and at very low prices.
The result is that nearly all the Canadian patron
age, which used to be a very largo item in the
business of the Cunard line from Bolden, now takes
the other route, and the Cunarders have accord
ingly very windy reduced their rates front thirty
guineas to twenty-two pounds—a difference of
nearly ilfty dollars. The Cheat Eastern, when it
comes out, will make a still greater inroad upon
the accustomed habits of our mean steam naviga
tion companies, ;and we shall very soon see an en
tirely new state of things in regard both to the
passenger traffic and the mail service. Monopolies,
after all, do not succeed any bettor at sea titan

As they have heretofore been on remarkably good terms
with the whites, and steadily refused to take part with
the Mormons, the fear is they may now depart from their
friendly policy. The Department will at once take
measures to repair, if possible, the mischief thus occa

Escape from the Erie County Jail
A man by the name of John B. Smith, who had
been indicted for stealing cattle from a farmer in
Perry, Wyoming county, and was to have been
tried this week, escaped from the county jail
Wednesday night. The Times gives the following
amount of the way in which ho accomplished his
escape : " Thursday morning when the jailer, Mr.
Lockwood, opened the inner doors of the jail, ho
was thunderstruck with the havoc that had been
accomplished. The cell of the prisoner Smith was
doubly looked, but at the foot of the door the stones
and bricks that formed the pavement wore
taken up, and the earth burrowed out beneath,
and the prisoner gone. The hole beneath the
cell door does not appear capable of allow
ing egress to a boy fifteen years old, while
Smith was a man full grown, and weighing one
hundred and fifty pounds. By getting out beneath
the door, he came into the corridor leading
around all the cells. Front thence he must make
his way through a wall of solid, cemented ma
sonry, two feet thick, or break through a heavy
iron and a heavy oaken door. lie chose the
former, and commenced, operations beneath the
silt of the middle window of the lower story
just opposite the new court house. Mere
the jailer found at least a ton of masonry and
mortar lying beneath the window, and a hole
large enough to let out two men. Large stones,
two foot long, had been dug out from a point throe
feet and a half high from the floor, and lay scat
tered around the window and the doors of the
cells contiguous, in alarming confusion. Thu per
formance, it strikes us, would take a first-rate
mason, with all his tools, over half a day to aocom
plish ; while Smith, with but the iron hinge of his
bedstead—an iron implement about eight inches in
length—and with no other aid except the despair
with which the prospect of five years in Auburn
infected him, did it in six hours, and all so quietly,
that no other prisoner, but a little boy in a oell
exactly opposite the scene of his labors, hoard any
noise or wore disturbed by his efforts. The sheriff
offers one hundred dollars reward for his recapture.

MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW YORK.
[From the New York y14)01.30' last evening,)
CRIRES OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.—The IDIM.
bor of crimes committed on Saturday and Sunday
night was unusually large. Three boys attacked
and robbed Charles T. Fisher of sixty-two cents,
all the money ho had with him. Thepolice cap
tured ono of them, Michael Martin, of Washing
ton market, and had bins committed. Henry New
man, colored, has been arrested on a charge of
setting Are to No. 59 Leonard attest, from which
ho had been expelled as a boarder a few days pre
vious. Mr. Horace H. Ladd, of No. 63 Water at.,
while on his way to the broker's, on Saturday
afternoon, and probably busy with his umbrella,
had his pocket picked of ono thousand dollars'
worth of Rhode Island bank bills, in a sealed
paokago, labeled by Thompson, Morse, dc Co.
Two brothers, Daniel and Michael Sullivan, were
arrested on Saturday, charged with following a
sailor in Cherry street, and robbing him of his
watch. The fraternal thieves were locked up for
trial.
About 7 o'clock last night, Thomas Reilly'e li
quor store, No. 141 East 28th street, was attacked
by a band of rowdies, numbering sixteen or eigh
teen, and who aro known to the police as the
"Bull's Head Lights," the gang who committed
such flagrant robberies on the clothing stores in
Third avenue and Canal street,while out on an ex
cursion a short time since. Tho timely interven
tion of the Twenty-first Ward police restored
quiet, but not till several of the gang wore se
verely beaten. One, named John Doran, who was
arrested by Officer Molntire,bad his head cut very
badly. It sconce that the "Bull's Head Light"
rowdies have their trysting place in Twenty.
second street, near Avenue B, and that they
:started ou a "spree" up town, and Jamey
lichee, who is a sort of champion among
them, had been imbibing very freely with John
Doran, at a rum•shop on the corner of Thirty-sec
ond street and Third avenue, and that subsequent
ly growing pugilistic. they sought out their com
rades and proceeded in a body to the store of Thos.
Reilly, against whom some of the party cherished
a grudge.
A mutiny and general fight occurred on board
the Liverpool packet ship Webster, on Saturday,
while lying off Castle Garden to land her passen
gers. The first and second mates and the boat
swain were badly beaten with clung-shots, belay
ing-pins, 8c , and three of the tnntineers, John
Smith, Thomas Shields, and Thomas Knox, were
secured and looked up in the Tombs A sailor
named Manning, who appears to have been the
ringleader, escaped by leaping overboard and
swimming to a small that, which conveyed him to
the shore.
Atiovuen DEATH BY VIOLENCE.—A band of as
sassins seems to have been at work during the past
week in the upper wards, and thus far its mom
bees have escaped detection. Several men love
been taken in at the hospitals and died from the
effects of heavy blows on the head, but by whom
inflicted remains a mystery. An unknown man
took lodgings at the porter house of James
Coyle, Nu. 0 Catherine Slip, one night last
week, and In the morning was found to be
insensible and apparently dying. Coyle bad
noticed the night before that he had a slight scratch
on the cheek. The man was removed to 13 Jevue
Hospital, whore he lingered a day or two, and died.
A post-mortem examination showed that his death
was caused by compression of the brain, the result
of a severe blow upon the temple. Coroner Rills
concluded an inquest in the matter yesterday, and
a verdict was rendered in accordance with the
above facts. There is no duo to the Identity of
the murdered man or his murderer.

LAND.—Tho clipper-ship Dreadnought, Captain
Samuels, sailed for Liverpool on Saturday, with
the largest cargo of prison ors ever known to re
turn on an emigrant ship-350 The Dreadnought
Las become famous for short passages, which may
partly account for liar full complement ; but the
band of music employed on board to " discourse "
sweet music end play the old familiar tunes of
home, has had a share of influence, and should
Iwo credit.
CITY Aloaratary.—The whole number of deaths
in this city last week' was 427, an increase of 17
compared with the previous week.
Truth Stronger than Fiction.
(From the Quebec Gazette, Oat. 19.
Wo learn from a telegraphic despatch of news
by the Asia, that a gentleman named Locke, who
has been conneeted with the banking company of
Messrs Harrison, Watson, at Co., Hull, had core.
witted subside. It is said that the cause of his
committing the rash deed, which must most pain
fully afflict his connexions, was the oirounistance
of his being implicated in the failure of the bank of
which he had formerly boon apathies. Mr. Locke
retired from the firm about twenty years ago,
but in doing co, failed in gazotting his re
tirement, and taking the legal steps to direst
himself of any future responsibilities. The conse
quence was, that on the failure of the bank ho was
declared liable, and his property, worth, wo under
stand, some £B,OOO or LlO,OOO a year. passed from
him like a shadow. Tho shock had proved too
great for the unfortunate gentleman, and he com
mitted suicide. In consequence of this accession to
its funds, it is said that the bank of Messrs. Barri.
son, Watson, k Co, will be enabled to pay its
claims in full. Should such prove to be the case,
the firm of Messrs. E. Borstal! k Co., of this city,
will be enabled to resume their extensive busi
nosa—a eireumatenee which, we have no doubt,
will be the course of great pleasure to the friends
of the firm, throughout Canada and In England,
and will also uphold the many mailer firms de
pendent on them for support; nay, oven for
existence.
In the present state of commercial affairs, any
occurrence which tends to brighten the surround
ing gloom must be hailed with pleasure, anti the
stability of the firm of Messrs. E. Burstall it Co.,
from the very extensive nature of their transac
tions, will again give employment to many who
would, otherwise, have been thrown into idleness
and penury. Everything in connection with this
occurrence hears much of the romantic in its fea.
tures. The creditors of Messrs. %ratan it Co.
wore in their office, for the purpose of making the
first examination into the affairs of the firm, when
the telegram, containing the important flows,
which would probably avert the most dreadeilcon
tingeney of mercantile existence, was put in Mr.
Burstall's hand. Wo may imagine—but it would
take some more skilful pen than ours to portray—
the feelings which must have arisen in that gen
tleman's mind at that moment.
John H. Hicks, a descendant of one of the
earliest families belonging to the Society of Friends
in New York, and himself for many years a promi•
nent merchant, died at his residence in Union
Place, on Wednesday evening, of consumption.
Ho was very highly esteemed both in society and
on 'Change.

Young Men's Christian Association—.ln In
teresting Essay —The monthly stated meeting of
this rapidly increasing and efficient Christian or
ganization of the young men of our city was held
Net evening in the lecture-room of the Central
Church, southeast corner of Eighth and Cherry
streets The attendance was large, notwithstand
ing the extreme inclemency of the weather, and
the utmost interest was msnifested in the proceed
ings. The President, George H. Stuart. EN.,
opened the exercises by reading a portion of the
thirty-fifth chapter of Isaiah, after which an int
proseive prayer was delivered by the Rev. Thomas
H. Beveridge. The board of teenagers of the As
sociation reported Esq.,
that George S. l'ox, had
been unanimously selected to the petition of Vice
President. Several gentlemen were elected as act
ive and ussooiate members of the Association, and
a number of others proposed for membership
The Rev. Thomas H. Beveridge. pastor of the
Third Associate Presbyterian Church, was then in
troduced to the meeting, and rend a very able and
argumentative essay on " The New Heavens, and
the New Earth." The speaker stated that change
is one of the most prominent characteristics of this
life—the world itself changes. times change, and
we change with them. After a few prefatory re
marks relative to the emotions of joy or grief
caused by a knowledge of the mutability of earthly
things, and of that great Beal change from time to
eternity by which our world, in its present forre,shall
be destroyed. and its inhabitants, the living and
the dead revived, shall be made inhabitants of
the new world,(which is to take its place, Mr.
Beveridge entered into a scriptural argument to
prove that this final transition is the change to
, which the Apostle Peter altudes in hie 2d Epistle.
ffit chapter, and 13th verse. In the beginning of
the chapter ho reminds us of what the prophets
and apostles have foretold concerning the de
struction of the world, and asserts that, though
scoffers may mock and say, "Where is the promise
of his coming these prophecies should be ful
filled ; that it was only the long-Buffering and for
bearance of God, and the fact that he was unwil
ling " that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance," and not slackness concerning
his promise, or forgetfulness of it, that hindered
its present accomplishment. He assures us that
Ile who created the world in the first place, and
separated it from the waters,and who overwhelmed
it with a deluge, and whose mighty power pre
serves
it now, that this same God will soon accom
plish its final destruction; that the time will soon
come when "the elements shall melt with fervent
heat,vrhen the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, the earth also, and the works that are there
in shall be burnt up." But, lest any should be
alarmed or troubled on this account, he assures us
that although the present heavens and earth are to
pass away, a now mad better world is to take their
place. Nevertheless, we, according to his pro
wise, look for is new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness." This chapter,
although very plain and simple. when literally un
derstood, has been the occasion of much controversy
among commentators, and while we think that the
general drift of the chapter is quite evident, it
must be confessed that, as to these words, their
meaning has never been definitely and conclusively
established. All that we can expect to do at pre
sent is to ascertain the most reasonable interpreta
tion of them, and the best evidence that can be
presented in its favor.
In the first place, let it be observed that it is
impossible to suppose that these words are used
figuratively bore, or in any other than their natu•
rat and ordinary sense. Some suppose the passage
to refer to the destruction of Jerusalem; the pass
ing away of the heavens to denote the removal of
their church, state, and ordinances; the melting
of the elements, the ceasing of the ceremonial law.
called "the elements of the world;" the burning
of the earth. the destruction of the land of Judea;
and the new heavens and new earth, a new church
state, the Gospel dispensation, with new ordi
nances, as baptise' and the Lord's ?upper, all legal
ceremonies and ordinances being guns, and every
thing new. In support of this view, they state
that, in the ancient Jewish prophecies, revolutions
in the political state of empires and nations are
foretold in the same forms of expression with these
introduced in Peter's prediction, Thus Joel 2 :In,
31, speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem. " I
will show wonders in the heavens and in the
earth ; blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon
into bluest, before the great and terrible day of the
Lordshall come." Haggai 2. fi, in reference to the
overthrow of Judaism and heathenism, `• Vet once,
and will shake the heavens, and the earth, and tie
sea, and the dry land," de. 14 regard to this view,
we observe,

1. That while ono of these passages may be un
derstood literally, (for most wonderful events did
happen before and during the destruction of Jeru
salem,) the rest, which are confessedly figurative,
while they use smiler language, do not use the
same as the apostle. They speak of the rolling
of the heavens together as a scroll," the • , obseuring
of the light of the sun and of the moon," "the
shaking of the heavens and the earth," and ' the
falling down of stars;" while Peter speaks of the
utter destruction of this mundane sphere by fire.
2. Many of the things which they foretold.
could not possibly bare a literal fulfilment, while
all the thiuga predicted by the apostle are possi
ble, nay probable, and snap therefore be literally
undesrtood. He speaks of the "burning of the
heavens" or atmosphere, and their "priming away
with a great noise." Now, this we know to be
possible. These are effects which the chemist
would predict as resulting from the union of the
oxygen with the hydrogen of the atmosphere, and
other gases liberated by the intense heat. Ito tells
us that the world is ••reserved unto fire," that
"the earth and its works shall be burned up."
This is not only possible, but highly probable.
Such an idea has been prevalent among all nations
whose opinions have reached us. They believed
that a destruction by fire awaited the earth, cor
responding to a previous destruction by water.
These catastrophes they denominated the cata
clysm, Or destruction by water, and the err yrasi r,
or destruction by fire. Science teaches us that the
earth contains within itself the elements of
,liooo
- and confirms the Bible by pointing to fire
as the agent by which that destruction shall be
accomplished. In all parts of the world experi
ments have proved that the temperature of the
air, the waters, and the rocks. in deep excavations,
is much higher than the mean temperature at the
sedum. The heat increases rapidly, too, as
we descend below the furthest point affected
by the boat of the sun. The mean rate of increase
is about one degree for every forty-five feet. At
this rate all known rocks would be melted at the
depth of about sixty miles. Can we resist the con
clusion, then. that below this depth all the matter
of the globe Is In a melted state ? This would
leave only about 1-800 part of the earth's diameter.
and about one fourteenth of its bulk, in a solid
state. Is it not conceivable, then, as the result of
natural causes, and, at all events, is it not con
ceivable, as the effect of Divine agency, that. this
glowing, fiery ocean should burst its frail barrier
and bury up and burn this paper shell ?
In further support of this view wo may bring
forward the 300 active volcanoes, and much more
numerous extinct ones, which have poured forth,
and are now pouring forth, from an immense
depth molten rooks, showing the presence of great
masses of this burning fluid in the untrodden
depths of the earth.
Mr. Beveridge here entered into a lengthy
disquisition on numerous scriptural texts, which
proved his position, that by the " new heavens
and the new earth" the apostle means the pre-
Bent visible heavens and earth, purified and reno
vated by fire. 11e stated that ho was forced
to conclude with Usteri. " that the conception of
a transference of the porfeoted kingdom of God
unto the heavens is, properly speaking, modern,
seeing that, according to Paul and the Apocalypse,
the Seat of the kingdom of God is the earth, inas
much as that likewise partakes in the general
renovation. This was the opinion of Crysostom,
Theodoret, Jerome, Augustine, Ambrose, Luther,
and others. Our space will not permit a further
synopsis of the remarks of Mr. Beveridge, but we
conclude with the following summary of his argu
ments, educed and elaborated to prove that the
earth shall be renovated by fire:
I. In order that the wrath of God may bo man
ifested against sin, in the ruin of this sinful and
polluted world.
2. In order that all that is fading and all
that is polluted may be removed from it.
3. In order that it may be restored to its ori
ginal condition when man was innocent, and
thus fulfil the eternal purpose of its Creator.
4. In order that it may no longer disgust the
pure Jehovah and holy angels,
5. In order that it may be put to some good
Use,
G. In order that it may be a fit habitation for
the redeemed and sanctified people of God.
7. In order that men may praise and glorify
Clod in the mine world, and with the came bodice
and spirits, in and with which they have disobeyed
and dishonored hint,
8. In order that there may ho no discord, in
creation; that our world, with its holy inhabitants,
may join is the universal song of praise and glory
which goes up from the whole u niverse of God.
The euav °Bolted A spirited debate between the
members. Messrs. Burton and Ward differing from
the deductions of its author, and Messrs. Patter
son and Young concurring with theta. Tho dis
cussion was continued at length ; and after the
transaction of some unimportant business, the
meeting adjourned. We commend these meetings
to the attention of the young men of our city. The
anniversary of the elucidation, we learn, will
shortly be pubtioly and appropriately celebrated.

The Suspension of several large
commis
sion and jobbing dry-goods houses, during the past
week. has had a very depressing effect, and but
little trade is doing. A few jobbers are busy in
filling orders, and attending to the wants of near
buyers, but the aggregate of sales is trifling. Do
mestie goods grow scarcer, and but little disposi
tion is evinced to make up stocks. All is uncer
tain at present, among the dry-goods merchants,
and in view of their heavy November payments,
with the dull prospect of realizing comparatively
nothing from the interior and west, the skies
darken. and things look extremely gloomy. From
well-informed merchants we learn that the amount
of paper of Philadelphia houses falling due on
the 4th proximo, is nearly four millions of dol
lars. and that the total payments due between
thisend the 20th of November will exceed EIGHT
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Of coarse a large portion
of this is owing by homes which have already sus
pended, and will require renewal. The hal:lnce of
the whole (nearly one-half) is to be paid by Eoi
vent houses—a thing utterly impossible, nukes a
change takes place speedily. There are a number
of houses that will not be affected by this crisis,
but daily they grow less. We hope for the best,
and trust we have reached the bottom, not only 30
far as relates to the dry goods trade, but to all
branches of mercantile trade.
Fire Last Evening.—Between eight and
nine o'clock last evening smoke was seen issuing
from the dwelling No. 1118 Cadwallader street, in
the Seventeenth ward. Officer Gilbert, of that po
lice district, broke open the door and discovered
the place on fire With the aid of several citi
