ARKANSAS AND CALOORNIA.
These two Stites of this Union, which may
be called hard-money States, teach us most
impressive lessens. Situated at the two ex
tremes of the country, and dependent for their
prosperityruion different causes, the trial . in
'eitch:of a hard-Money basis for all their State
aid local transactions, and their refhsal to en
courage the issue of hank paper, have placed
them wholly above want, and in a large degree
protected them from the prevailing bank
iti2tcy. California, at last acdounts; was
looking , forward to a more certain and
prosperous future than the best anticipa
tions could have predicted one year ago. &me
of the leading.operators of the State may go,
doWn in the crash; but the people will be
protected, because the circulating medium is
sold and silver, and bank notes excluded by
those quarantine laws in finance, which are
never rigidly enforced without producing the
bed remits., The case of Arkansas is even
more strikingly in proof of the enormous
advantage of a hard-money practice, in the
miyment ,of labor and of taxes of all kinds,
thereby promoting the good of the whiffe.
The condition ,of Arkansas .is thus stated
by an ,Arkansas paper: "$200,000 in gold
and silver in the treasury, and the State not
one cent in debt on her own account! By
the meeting of the next Legislature, this sum
will be nearly doubled. Alas! what wreck and
Ada our Deraecratie office-holders have made
end are .making of the State's prosperity. But
Worse' and worse. Within the last three years:
over One million and a half' of the debt in
curred on Socount of the banks, has been
paid, off,,and this; too, without taking one
cent ,of the people's money."
IMPORTANT COMMEROIAV NEWS PROM.
- •
•
• EUROPE.
Whieb arrived WHAM.%
yesterdasr, left Liverpool ou the 7th lust. Her
news is most important.
'The Bank of England had advanced its rates
of discotint to iiine per cent.—a higher rate
than we recollect having ever been fixed by
that establishment.' - Notwithstanding this in
crease (five Per Cont. being the ordinary rates
of discount, and sometimes even less,) the de
mand for money continued great. The Bank
of liambiirg had 'also raised its rate of dis
count to nine per cent. The Bank of France
had made no increase, and its amount of gold
had been augmented. On the other hand,
the weekly
,return of the Bank of England
showed a decrease in its stock of gold of $3,-
800,000. There was no doubt that gold was
leaving all parts of Europe for the United
States. About $600,000 have been brought by
the Niagara.
The effect of tke action of the Bank of Eng
land was to affect the money market, (in which
the latest telegraphed rate was 88; for Con
sols, after much fluctuation,) to affect the pro
duce market, and alio to depress cotton and
breadettiffs. •
Many considerable failures had taken place
in London and Liverpool, • and more were in
evitable. The great firm of. NAYLOR, VICKERS,
& CO., had suspended payment, with liabili
ties estimated at from $3,000,000 to $5,000,-
000. It wad asserted (us mai) that their
• aisets would more than cover the amount.
That great failure! should take place, not only
in England bat'also in France, was to be
looked, for ffem the moment it was announced,
as it pas gen, that ono steamer carried back
as much as $8,000,000 of protested French
bills, and $16,000,000 of protested English
Lilis on the United'States.
Under the circumstances, the mercantile in
terest in Glasgow and other great trading and
manufacturing places were dialing on the Go
vernment to interfere, and induce the Bank to
be less stringent. The Times thought there
was'no necessity for this, and such extreme
action would scarcely take place.
political news by the Niagara is said to
be unimportant. Parliament had been further
prorogued, until the l7th December, which
Means that it would not meet until the usual
time, about the end of January.
Prom India Otero was no further news, nor
irsa,a mail quite due when the Niagara left
England: rAt a civicdinner given to the Duke of
Oitithridie - (c,otiOt to Queen VICTORIA, and
,Oetaipander-itt-OitieF of the,Axilyti on the °c
ession of his being Presented with, the freedom
of the, city of London, he spoke strongly in
favor of the most summary vengeance against
the Sepoys. On the same occatilon, Mr. DAL-
Us, the Ainerican Ambassador, spoke of the
Sepoys; as the enemies of the human race.
The Niagara isdue at Boston this forenoon,
and it is possible that wo may receive our files
of foreign papers by 'her, at a late hour to

Apprentices, with a M istory of their Lazy

see, has actually got up all of Dickens's. In

From “OccaMonol.”
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17th, 1857
The approaching session of Congress will bo ex
ceedingly Interesting In many respects. It may
be that new combinationiand developments of par
ties will take place; it is certain that many prepa
rations will be commenced, if not completed, pre
paratory to the great battle for the succession. •
I do not believe that Governor WALKER will be
as bitterly assailed by the south as hie opponents
anticipate. The course of the St. Louis Repub
can, which supports him for his rejection of the
frauds in Kansas, and the moderate and conservative
example of the Richmond Enquirer and Exami
ner, aro indications that do not promise a unani
mity in the proscriptive war deelared against him
by Mr. PETOR, of the South; Mr. BARKBDALE, of
the Misorrippian, and Mr. hattatta, of the New
Orleans Delta.
Mr. Toenail, of Georgia, a man of growing pow
er, just re-elooted to the Senate, is expected to take
the lead against WALKER, and is Indeed spoken of
In some of the papers of the South as the Demo
°ratio leader in the Senate. Notwithstandiag the
reeoneillation between JEFFERSON DAVIS and
himself, it is surmised that they will hardly be as
cordial as their supposed agreement against the
Governor of Kansas might lead others to infer. I
am (dearly of opinion, however, that Mr. HUNTER,
Of Virginia, Mr. FITZPATRICK, of Alabama, Mr.
JOHNSON, of Arkansas, Mr. DAyARD, of, Delaware,
:Mr. PEARCE, of Maryland, and even Mr. BROWN,
of Mississippi, (who likes Governor WALKER grout.
ly,) vrill not be ready to follow any man's lead
against Governor WALKER, simply because the
Governor refused to allow a set of desperadoes to
cheat at an °lotion in Kansas. The two new (ex
pected) Senators from Minnesota, Meesre Rtes: and
.BIIIELDS, will no doubt speedily follow the se
coptabee of the State Constitution recently adopt
ed by the people of the Territory. This makes the
account stand in the Senate fifteen slave to seven
teen free States; and if Kansa/ and Oregon should
be admitted during the session, the result will be
Aileen to nineteen.
, .
The idie that Oregon will beieme a Slave 'State .
is an absurdity, although it is reported that Gen.
Jon LANE is in favor of incorporating a slave
provision in the Constitution of the nets' Slate.
If this result should follow the efforts of parties,
my prediction is, that in a very few years slavery
will be forever prohibited in Oregon. You will
perceive that Judge DOUGLAS, in his spoil in
Chicago, makes ,no allusion to the propriety of
submitting the question of the Constitution of
Kansas to the people of that Territory, but eon
tents himself with generalizing. I have no doubt,
notwithstanding this, the Chicago Times speaks
his sentiments in favor of giving the whole ques
tion of slavery in Kansas and their whole con
stitution to the people of that Territory.
Governor Watt= Is expeeted in Washington in
the course of this week. The Missouri Senators
will, it is surmised, be greatly indisposed to take
. up the cudgels against Governor WALKER, the sen
timent in Missouri being very decidedly in his
favor. •

[SPROIAL DISP/TCII FOR TIM PRESS.J
Wasuisamr, November 18th, 1857.—A1l man
ner of rumors aro flying about. One gentle
mai has it from reliable authority that there
is organising en expedition for the conquest of
Cuba; another, that general WALKER has been
invited by one of the hollow of Yucatan to take
part iu the civil broil going on in that petty Re
public, and that, when he has conquered peace and
power there, he will make it his point d'appui 'for
a general and indiscriminate maraud into the sur
rounding States. Still others allege, on authority,
that Hayti is his destination, or that ho is on his
way to Sonora to avenge the massacre of Colonel
CRABBE and his followers at Cavorca.
The Administration does not look with any favor
on these expeditions, and will make every exer
tion to defeat them. If acquisition of territory bo
necessary, they aro for securing that object in a
fair way and on the payment of a proper compen
sation.
Just uow the decided ground taken by our Go
vernment against Ilramcatt, and in favor of Ni
caragua, has been the direct moans of gaining for
us Important privileges from that State, and will
indirectly be of advantage to us in many other re
spects.

and plied between Berwick bay and Galveston.
The Opelousas sank in about fifteen minutes after

apprehended, raised the rate of discount from

This movement failed to abate the demand for mo
ney, which continued without diminution through

The Times thinks the continued pressure must
be mainly caused by alarm and the consequent
desire of every person to be over supplied., •
Suggestions were current that the Government
should be 'called on for palliatives, but the Times
argues that there icno shadow of pretext for srieh
a step. The Times nays: " Al! olasseaof the pub-
IM must be well aware that If the nation should
so pitiably lose its self-possession as to give way to
panic, there is but one remedy, and that the Go
vernment will be compelled to adopt. There can
be no need, however, by formal proceedings to
proclaim' the belief, and to cause the degrading
contingency to be regarded not only as possible,
but probable."

net Anniston and foreign Ambassadors, including
the American Minister, Mr. Dallas.
The Duke of Cambridge, in a spoooh, said he had

nying that there was any difference between him
and the Governor General of India. The Duke
extolled the conduct of the British army in India,
and advocated its maintenance in an efficient state
of warlike establishment.

Mr. Dallas after making some remarks appro
priate to the event of tho day, spoke as follow!
in regard to the Indian mutiny : "Sympathy has
been invoked from foreign nations, in reference is
the state or affairs in India. I am not here t
speak as to the extent to which my Government, o:
the people of the United States, sympathise wits
the struggle of England against India. That b
not the thought I wish to express.
The thought I wish to express is in reference b
the treatment that is to be dealt to those who bra
distinguished themselves in the field of crime it
that unhappy region. Now crimes are of variois
descriptions. A mutiny and murder are heavy
crimes—they aro dark and gloomy crimes—lnt
they were committed in almost every country, and
under almost every Government. Penalties ale
specifically provided for these crimes in the rs
speotive criminal codas of various countries. 'Lit
such crimes be punished wherever they occur, se:-
cording to law—that is the first and clearest Pris•
eiplo of action,
"But there are other crimes—trims at least of
another character, which become so monstrous
as to assume the attitude of enmity to the human
race—not merely crimes committed with reference
to the power of India—not merely crimes inimical
to Europe and civilization, but crimes that consti
tute their perpetrators what pirates aro, and wba
cannibals in the Fejee Islands are—enemies b
the human race, and meriting, not from one no
tion, not from ono people, but from the whole of
the human race, summary and exemplary I exti•
" This, as it appears to me, is not the langtageef
any particular individual, of any pesticide coin
try, but the language of human nature; etnd, al
though I am unable to say bow far such hinging*
may be concurred in by the great body of my
fellow-oltitens en the opposite side of the Atiattle,
yet I think I know them well enough to aaythat
no language can be too strong, no words too fin
pressive, no force too sudden, no blows too se'ere,
for crimes such as those which have been perpe
' tutted in India."
Lord Brougham officiated at the inauguration of

the District Attorney for the promptness and do
termination with which ho prosecuted the ease.
Every effort that ingenious and able counsel could
make, and all that could be done by unscrupulous
parties was done to retard the trial of the ease, hut
In vain. The only regret is, that the wealthy
beokerof those parties could not be brought to
Justice at the saute time with his unfortunate and
guilty tools.
The community would be muoh benefited by the
cionvietion of such parties who often escape the
'penalties of their offences by some inexplieable
hocus-pocus. If this conviction will have the effect
of deterring others of the oraft from flooding the
city with their trash, a great public benefit will be
obtained. The District Attorney for the Common-

ANOTHER ATROCIOUS MURDER AT
NEW yORK
Groat oimiteruont was plotted in North William
street last night by the murder about half-past ten
o'clock of an Italian named Francis Vincent,
dealer in winos and liquors, in his store, No. 15
North William street. Mr. Vincent was a re
spootablo citizen, about fifty years old.
lie habitually carried about him large sums of
money, which ho took no pains to conceal, and
this was doubtless what cost him his life.
Mr. William Hilton, an old gentleman, passed
the evening at his place, and 'is the only witness
of the murder. His testimony at the coroner's in
quest, subjoined, contains all that is known of the
circumstances. The officers, on searehing, found
that Vincent had been robbed. A largo roll of
bills remained In one of his pockets, but his watch
and chain were gone. These were subsequently
found in the street.
No clue to the murderers remained, but the po
llee during the night and this morning Made three
arrests on suspicion. Tho parties arrested WO An
tonia and Joseph White, alias Bianco, Italian
barbers, found at No. 1I) Vandawater street, to
which place they removed about three o'clock last
night, and Ajiguel do liesona, alias de Lorenzo, a
tall swarthy Italian, who was found at No. 5 of
the 8111110 street.
These parties hail liven suspooted of an attempt
to commit a similar murder at 139 Pearl street, a
week ago last Monday night.
Coroner Cannery this morning ompannelled a
jury at theliouso where the murdar was committed,
and proceeded to investigato the ease,
Wm. Milton, the only tallness who saw the mur
der, sworn: I live ut No. 4 North William street;
know deceased; I entered his storo about VI
o'clock last evening a man and a woman wore
thorn; they soon left. and directly after three
men 0114130 in; ono of them was rather tall and
thin, wearing a moustache, of very dark com
plexion, something like negro blood.
I took eon glass, and refused to take another ; a
conversation in Spanish, apparently friendly, fol
lowed, and deceased drank several glasses with
them ; two sat au Vincent's right hand and two on
his left While talking, ore of them struck at
Vincent. and Ile fell over ; it was the tall, dark man;
could not see whether he had anything in his
hand, it was dono so suddenly ; it was almost ns
quick as a flush of powder; then in a motnent all
four sprang upon their foot as if it had been pre
meditated among them; and the throe who first
'came in rushed upon Vincent; then the table and
all on it fell over ; 1 sprang to my foot, and the
man who came last, and sat next to me, immediately
attacked me; I rushed to the door, but could not
open it, though it was not locked ; some one must
have been outside holding it; the man followed,
and struck me on the head with some instrument;
it might havo been a bottle or decanter; at that
moment the door was opened from the outside, and
they all rushed out together; I followed them out,
and saw Mr. Mark Cohen, private watchman, a
little below, towards Frankfort street, and told
him the noon had knocked Vincent down ; Mr.
Cohen, private watchman, and I went to Vincent's
house and found deceased on the floor dead ; they
searched hie pockets and found a roll of bills; they
commenced counting it; I think I recognised a
man at No. 5 Vandewater streot as one of the
throe who first mime In; I think I should recog
niso all three if I saw them
The witness then stood up and examined the
eountonauees'of all in the room. Pausing at the
prisoner, Lorenzo, he said, "I think that Is one
of them. I am quite sure of It."
The Coroner asked if he recognised White.
it No," said he, " I do not."
White—No, sine, sir. I was not there at all.
Lorenzo said something in very broken English
about haying boon called out of bed at 11 o'clock.
The witness said he could not swear positively.
Lorenzo wail very nervous and excited, and anxious
to be thoroughly examined. Witness raid the first I
glance he bad of this man he recognised him to be
one of the three men
Dr. Finnell read the report of the post-niortens
examination by himself and Dr. Ferguson. They
found three wounds on the anterior portion of the
chest, two on the loft, and one on the right side.
Each I , lB3.about an inch in length, and their direc
tion transverse to the middle line of the body.
Two of the wounds touched the lungs, and one
wounded the lower part of the body. All the
wounds are fatal in their character.
Wbon the police came down William street, on
their way from the coroner's office, to the station
house, with the prisoners in charge, they were sur
rounded by. the mob—auzious to get a glimpse at
them.
The three prisobereare relatives. D.
,Lorene is
the'unole of the two Whites. One of these was ar
rested in a barber's shop in Courtlandt street, and
the other at a place in Greenwich street.
The wine shop whore the horrible deed was
committed is about twenty-five feet square, with a
small bar and a number of wine-casks arrangea at
one end. In one corner is a cot Bedstead, wherein
deemed was accustomed to sleep, and which, with.
II round table and a few stools, comprises all the
furniture of the room. Our reporier visited the
place about one o'clock this morning, and
found, the murdered man lying in his blood just as
he dred.
A sergeant of police and a half a dozen of pa
trolmen wore guarding the store, and (reel); help
ing themselves to sardines, brandy, wine, cigars,
and other provisions, by way of passing the time
pleasantly They carried on their feasting on the
murdered man's goods tight over his gory corpse,

with nonchalance that, to say theleast of it, was
extremely disgueting.

" BRIGIIAM YOUNG,
" Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs."
The following is the proclamation referred to by
Brigham Young :
" PROCLAMATION BY VIE GOVERNOR
" CITIZENS or Urea—We are invaded by a hos
tile force, who are evidently assailing us to worn
plish our overthrow and destruction. For the
last twenty-tive years, we have trusted offieiabi of
the Government, from constables and jasticei to
judges, governors, and presidents, only to be
scorned, held in derision, insulted, and betrayed.
Our houses have been plundered and then burned,
our fields laid waste. out:principal men butchered
while under the pledged faith of the Government
for their safety, and our families driven from
their homes to fled that shelter in the barren
wilderness, and that protection among hostile
savages, which were denied them in the boasted
abodes of Christianity and civilisation.
"The:Constitution of our OKILIECOII country guaran
ties unto us all that we do now or have ever claim
ed. If the constitutional rights which pertain unto
us as American citizens were extended to Utah
according to the spirit and meaning thereof, and
fairly and impartially administered, it is all that
we could ask—all that we have ever asked.
"Our opponents have availed themselves of pre
judice existing against us, because of our religious
faith, to send out a formidable host to accomplish
our destniotioh. We barbital] no priiilege nor
opportunity of defending ourselves from the false,
foul, and unjust aspersions against us befera the
nation. The Government haj not condescended to
cause an investigating committee or other persons
to be sent to inquire into and ascertain the truth,
as Is customary in such cases. We know those as
persions to be false ; but that avails us nothing.
We are condemned unheard, and forced to an issue
with an armed mercenary mob, which has been
sent against nil at the instigation of anonymous
letter-writers, ashamed to father the base,slander-
MIS falsehoods which they have given to the pub
lio—of corrupt officials, who have brought false
accusations against sis to screen themselves in their
own infamy, and of hireling priests" and howling
editors, who prostitute the truth for filthy lucre's
sake.
"The loses which has Gms been forced upon s us
compels us to resort to the groat first law of self.
preservation, and stand in our own defence—a
right guarantied unto us by the genius of the in
statutions of our country, and upon which the
Government is based. Our duty to ourselves, to
our families, requires us not to tamely submit to
be driven and slain without an attempt to preserve
ourselves. Our duty to our country, our holy re.
ligion, our God, to freedom and liberty, requires
that we should not quietly stand still and see those
fetters forging around no which are calculated to
enslave and bring us In subjection to an unlawful
military despotism, such as can only emanate, in a
country of constitutional law, from usurpation,
tyranny, and oppression.
"Therefore, I, Brigham 'Young, Governor and
Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Terri
tory of Utah, in the name of the people of the
United States, in the Territory of Utah, forbid,
"First—All armed forces of every description
from coming into this Territory, under any pre
tence whatever.
"Second—That all the forces in said Territory
hold themselves in readiness to march at a mo
ment's notice. to repel Any and all such invasions,
" Third—Martial law is hereby declared to ex
ist in this Territory from and after the publica
tion of this publication; and no person shall be
allowed to pass or repass into or through or from
this Territory without a permit from the proper
°timer.

"Very respectfully, E. B. AtmannErt."
Among the documents is a letter from Col. John
son, dated from the camp, on the three wings of
the Sweet Water, addressed to Adjutant-General
McDowell, Now York, in whioh he confirms the
burning of the contractor's trains by the Mormons.
He says the Governor's escort is four days' march
behind him, with two companies of dragoons, Ile
knows no reason why Col. Alexander !tumid at
tempt to reach Salt Lake by lieu ricer, excepting
from the fear that the Mormons have burned the
grass op the shorter route. He adds: "If I could
communicate with Col. Alexander I would direct
him to take up a good position for the winter at
Ham's Fork. The road is besot between this and
Ham's Fork with companies of Mormons, so it is
doubtful whether I shall be able to commtinioate
with Col. Alexander."
It is supposed at the War Department that the
troops aro all in good condition, as nothing to the
contrary Is said in the despatches.
On the receipt of the above despatches a special
meeting of the Cabinet was immediately called,
but nothing has transpired with reference to their
deliberations.

which I insisted upon having before I would leave
the room, which were then procured and returned
to me by the secretary, and, at the same moment, -

both hands. and I was knocked down and severely
beateh by the united e ff orts of the eon:abode - is and '
his sons. and was only rescued from farther injury
by the interference of the president."
I Mr. Deokert's papers were on the table before
him, where he placed them, and were not teethed.
untithir. Green handed them to him.
Mr. Decked had been before the board in the
morning, when ho was requested to state the
grounds of la charges and suspicions. -Bei un
hesitatingly denied that belied made any charges,
and stated that he had no fact upon which to
ground his suspicions ; and the board having been
informed by the gentleman to whom he had first
communicated has suspicions, that he had said
t• that he could feet from the company_ from fiat
to ten to one hundred thoueernd do l lars /torah -

which they passed a unanimous resolution, ap

The busineat for which the board bad been oon-•

While they were at dinner with some invited
attests, among whom was Mr. John P. Stockton,
Mr. Dnokert sent two different applications to the
president of the railroad company to be permitted -
to come in. The permission being granted,' he
came in, when, abandoning his charges add sae- -

stated that he bad yet to learn tbat any enema L"

was not-above suspicion; that some one, at
time, had said in Washington that he had 'acted --
improperly In regard to the building of the United

order, in consequence of the entire irrelevance of
this new attack, be denounced the whole board for
conspiring and combining against him, upon which
he was ordered by the president of the rail mad
company to retire. Mr. John P. Stockton took
him by the arm to lead him to the door, and while
in the act of opening the doer to permit him to
pass out Decker struck him a blow in the faoe,
upon which Mr. Stockton knocked bins down—and
upon Deckert crying out "Mercy, mercy ! Save

Stockton turned away of his own accord, and left

THE MONEY MARKET.
PUILLDKLPHIA, NOTelilber ig, 1857
The news from England by the Niagara, - at
Halifax, reached the board of brans while in
session, and produced a decline in the snots, which
were before selling quite spiritedly. The fluctua
tions in prices will be beat shown by the report of
sales. The news; however, is not of a character
to take any oae by surprise.
Nothing was more natural than that, after the
excitement of the first news of the victory at
Delhi had somewhat passed of, the English
financiers should turn their attention more par
ticularly to the news from America, and to the re
sults it was likely to produce in their midst. And
`the first of these results was most likely to be a
further advance in the rate of discount by the
Bank of England, as a still more effectual cheek
upon opeoie shipments, and that, under the opera
tion of this advance, consols should decline. Tin
greatest wonder of the reflecting, during all, the
late excitement in the moneyed world, has been
the high prices ruling for consols.
The news,ftherefore, that the bank has raised
the rate Of discount to ninalter tient , •that eels*
have declined, and that lower price' are ruling for
American staples, is only what might marenaifly
hive been looked for, and partakes of the character
of the intelligence that may be expected by the
arrivals from England for some days,to ems.
When the accounts of the favorable tam in finan
cial matters here are receivedin England, and the
shipments of gold for the ordinary purposes of trade
give place to the customary operations of exclusege,
the rates of discount in England will fall as rapidly
as they have risen and we look for a speedy
return of bedews activity between the twoenen
tries and of prosperous and busy timer. • '
