'HENRY BOMAN & 00- 221 & 223 South Fourth etre et r t TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1867 THE EDUCATIONAL TEST There is a stirring of the waters in England, as regards Education. It is admitted there, that the working-classes, to whom instruction is so necessary, do not, because they cannot, receive it. What manner of education can be given to children who are drawn away from school, by the demands for agricultural and manufacturing labor, at the early age of ten or twelve years? It is contended, by po litical economists across the water, that manu factures stand in the way of educatiori—that a great manufacturing system and a highly educated people cannot exist together--that England cannot undersell all other nations and command all markets by means of cheap labor, and yet educate her people sufficiently— in a word, that the education must ho improved only within the limits of England's commer cial pre-eminence. On the other hand, there is no doubtvithat, in the groat manufacturing districts of York shire,and Lancashire, (woollen and cotton,) the constant improvements in' machinery, are increasing, throwing woman and children out of employMent, and' that they will aeon libe rate two or three more years of the child for the purposes or education. In other words, that as the demand for javenilo labor decreases, the child may remain at school until the ago of thirteen or fourteen, instead of being drawn away, to earn some small wages, at ten or twelve. A child who leaves school at the ago of ten to twelve does not receive what can be fairly called education. He but receives a prelimi nary to it—a koy to knowledge, as it were. Being taught to read and write is as much as a child of ten or twelve can arrive at. Reading and writing are not so much knowledge as the means by which knowledge is to be obtained. These means, in fact, may chiefly be estimated as valuable not for themselves but because they enable youth to proceed onward into education. Ho is placed thus at the portals of the great treasure-house.of knowledge—to pass forward if he have ability, perseverance, and ambition, and gather mental riches from the whole garnered stock of the ideas of the human race. So in England, not so with us. We really give education, not the mere basis of it. Every child in this State, for example, has the opportunity of being educated sufficiently welt for the general purpose's of life—so well educated, in fact, that, no ratter how lowly his original condition in life, his capacity is cultured sufficiently for all ordinary purposes; ho is qualified for almost any position to which lie pleases to aspire ; and, in that po sition, be it even the highest, his conduct and bisi manners will not be beneath the station he has arrived at. But then, the children of Pennsylvania are not drawn from school, to work in the cotton mills or woollen factories, at the ago of ten or twelve. For such an education as we do thus sup ply, liberal provision is made; well-qualified to echos are selected ; the profession of teach in g is respected ; and the ablest minds of the country are induced to throw themselves into composing books of instruction. Our ele mentary school-books are the best in the world, and the inducement to make them the hoist is this—the demand is necessarily so groat, among a people all of whom look on• etucation as almost as necessary as food and clothing, that a successful school-book is an income for life. Proth the causes we have assigned, the poor in England must mainly rely on self -rniftifinkrft hits beat siftedvertia that they may bo'assistod in this, and libraries to use, lectures to listen to, rooms to study in, aro arising in most of the cities and towns of England. Public examinations, with the dis tribution of medals to the most deserving, are stimuli of no ordinary power and utility. The most recent idea, on the part of those who desire to extend education, to give such a premium to intellectual culture as will add prudential to ambitions motives. The suggestion is to open the Excise, Cus toms and Post Office to all qualified persons, and offer all the subordinate posts irpthese de partments for competition. As far back as "within the memory of the oldest inhabitant," (contemporary, no doubt, with the benevolent quack physician who advertises that his sands of life have nearly run out), these offices have been reserved to reward, by providing for, the constituents of such members of Parliament as vote with the Government. No doubt Lord PALMERBTON and his colleagues would greatly miss these means of agreeably helping and obliging their friends—but the public would gain, and we suspect that a higher set of of ficials would ultimately bo obtained. The proposition is to distribute the offices among those of all classes who have most suc cessfully passed through the ordeal of public examination. There are, on the whole, 12,018 ,arch offices, (of from $260 to $4OO a year,) supplying nearly 800 annual vacancies, besides a higher set of appointments, of from $3OO to $6OO a year, producing annually 300 vacancies, which could be thrown open to the public. The number of prizes is very largo, and the quantity of emulation it would create very considerable, as a great many more persons than those who won the prize would have their energies stimulated in the contention for it. Let it be remembered, too, that small as the above incomes may appear, two advantages aro connected with them—first, that the Eng- ish Government appointments are psi-maned, nvariably held during tho good conduct of the official and, secondly, that, except in the highest (and politically removable) situations, there is an annual increase of salary and au ascending scale of promotion, arising chiefly out of seniority, which may ultimately place the lad who enters the office on $250, in the receipt of $5,000 a year. This is a powerful stimulus to self-education. As a test for fitness for office, the mode of publicly ascertaining a candidate's fitness is excellent, and, it must be confessed, is vastly superior to the method so largely in practice among ourselves, of estimating not the' fit ness of the man for the office, but the fitness of the office for the man. We look through party-spectacles, and too often estimate a can- didate for office chiefly by his politics. If, as indeed appears likely to happen, the bulk of official situations in England be thrown open to public competition, with merit and character as the only qualifications, John Bull, It Is clear, will steal a march upon us, very greatly to his own credit and advantage. English Compliment to an American. On the occasion of Mr. J. E. CRosKEY re tiring from the American Consulate at South ampton, in which he has hems succeeded by Mr. W. THOMPSON, the merchants and trades men of that town (we learn from the London Time,') aro about to present him with a testi monial in appreciation of the services ho has rendered to the shipping interests of the port front time to time, during the number of years he has acted as Consul. An influential cons mitt9o has been formed, with the mayor of the borough as chairman, the town-clerk as trea surer, and one of the borough ;justices as se cretary. The Time, adds : "Apart from the personal compliment intended, this presenta tion possesses an interest as forming another of the numerous manifestations of international friendship and goodwill existing on the part of this country and the United States." Thie compliment has been well earned, for Mr. CIIONCEY, while performing his responsible duties as American Consul at Southampton, had the good fortune to conciliate the favora jdo opinion of all classes, whether English or :foreigners, with whom ho was brought into communication. In his own person, this cour teous and active gentleman was a sort of con necting link between Americans and English men. lie strictly performed his duty, and, while doing so, won the favor, as an impartial and lonest man, of all. The Testimonial, we doubt not, will represent the liberality of Ur. Csofficaurs Buglistt fiends, PHILADELPHIA, TUESD,4Y, NOVEMBER 24, 1857. THE BOSTON POST ON KANSAS. From the Boston Post, of Novombet 214 f s we take the following striking view of the •, , , present aspect of affairs in Kansas: • -, ji . KANSAS AND HER CONSTIITTION, Th e e 01;4 and doctrine of tho able article we printed yot , e!l day from the Albany Argus on the Kansas VINO tion, would seem to onineide with the avowod pup pose of the national party as to Kansas, ivate4 elected President Buchanan. This was, in a *rota.' that the bona fide settlers of this Territory ShOultl be protected in the exercise of the same rights,. Ai to the making of their State Constitution whiat the citizens of other States havo enioyett iti lit point of the article, to which we desire to,e attention, is, that Congress should not be , ' 1 an instrument to force a Constitutron ontt4 untoilltng people; but should have eliar gvp, dear, that any Constitution it endows rttle Op validity of law has their sanction. . ~,,, This question, as to Kansas, seems likely to 's: an important one, according to our present ksio . ledge of the doings of the Kansas Convention wig" l was cailod to frame a Constitution: This seems to haver resolved to submit only the sltz!io Maus* to the people of Kamm for their aptror A and to present the other portion of the Constitp, to Congress without such submission to the no el and hence Congress will be without evidenee such a Constitution reflects the will of the may) . Governor Wiser, in a letter just published, bat discriminating view of this great point. Ile, saw " Tho true doctrine is, that the powers rt e s doff. gated by the people arc reserved to them. T way p,rant such a power to the Convention; bp ,f not grunted, it is rest, red that a Constlttati‘ formed and proposed by a Convention, which ,4 i a representative body, shall be submitted to - people, who alone are sovereign. The Coavink lion to form a Constitution is not sovoreigket supremo. The sot of making a State le !holt' • 'I. AO of sovereign power, and is the act of bum Ay. next highest to that of Deity, in making . u,• , g of any sort. The act is no less Chase to e'roo ~ toversitinty itself As a Democratic Repalgie ' then, I would never delegate conventional pe f to any body of agents to create a State, wtt . requiring them to submit the act to their ii, ~ . pals, the people. In 1776, an unauthorized ..• of patriots assembled at Williamsburg, oonst themselves a Convention, and formed and , claimed a Constitution for Virginia, without, =. witting it to the votes of the colonists. NAT ' lotion began in that way. There was no time . no opportunity to poll votes, in a moment of ri? , 7 lion, under the domination of British acme.'? , , Tho case of Virginia in 1776, cited by Gov, r Wise, was a most remarkable one. This wan t _ first Constitution for a State ever framed; mitt IA not strange that the mode should have beetide 9-, tive. The great founder of the Democratic , Jefferson, always spoke of this Constitution ad* ing en essential element—the sanction and a rity of (ho expressed will of the majority. Atli are his words,las to this first of Constitutions, wfil ton in 1824: . .„ . . . • .„ . " To our Convention no special authority had Vein delegated by the people to form a permanenttaii stitution, over which their summon, in logielti w should have no power of alteration. They 'ad' s ice been elected for the ordinary purposes of le Pt. tion only, and at a time when the establishing of a now Government had c ot been proposed o CM tomplated. Although, therefore, they gave Os act the title of a Constitution, yet it could ; ,,gto more than an act of legislation, subjeot, ae eit other acts were, to atleration by theist,' Ole.. emote. It has heen said, indeed, that I.s4':eie quiescence of the people has supplied thO whip" of original power. But it is a dangerous leiWto say to them, "whenever your funotionarles tiger, ciso unlawful authority over you, if you did pot go into actual resistance, it will be doomed 00, °scene° and conformaron. Besides, no authority' has yet decided whether the resistance iscullf-be instantaneous; when the right to resist coseetWer whether it has yet ceased. Of the twoitffiltr, States now organized, twenty-three have dsitip proved our doctrine and example, antr, Or, deemed the formal authority of their pa ett necessary foundation fur their Condit it."' Virginia has also twice Rated 00 6 CarnAl I.lOn • since 1821, once in MO, and again In 1850.501 ad in both instances, the Constitution framed, th.l. a. Convention was submitted to the people ; evOi - as Governor IVise says, " to the new voters itateil ho the new form (*fore itself was adopted," atad dorernor Wise weft remarks : " That thiCp6efile shall of right judge fur themselves, at the poll!, of their own orgamo law, unless they expresalt,ltu• thence agents to make and to adopt a Cens)l Olen' for them, is a principle for which, as 6 Meambettnt the last Convention of Virginia. I would haYe'rooti-' tended as strenuously as I did for any othie Ow. ciplo of popular sovereignty or of self goVerrUltela: There was no ouch authority delegated by do. OW pio to the Convention of Kansas. This is the right which the great national pOty which elected President Buchanan pledged =Melt' to secure to the Load fide settlers 'of 'Kettlitei:sllid' which the South, as well as the North:will 1110 # 4 41 , unite in carrying out. This was the principle .n bodied in the resolutions of Mr: Calhoun' otlBo'. 1 One of this remarkable series of reeolotiotti leii4o, ...Resolved, That it ht e. fundamental - pride** in our political creed, that a people in forraing Constitution have the unconditional tlgl4-t!, term, and adopt the ha government:ollV Alitn ,4 beat ealealat4to soma* the K, 'and ntitnittat . 404 144).111:3mtne j 1 no other conditionis imposed by the Yeleeirat; saltation on a State, in order to be admitted into this Union, except that its Constitution shall be republican ; and that the imposition of any other by Congress would not only be in violation of the Constitution, but in direct conflict with the princi ple on which our political system rests." * Ik * The submission point is so worded that the Constitution, excepting on the one point of slavery, is not submitted at all to the people. And if Congress gives validity to such a political sovereignty as this will be, according to the sche• dole, it will impose this Constitution on Kansan until 15151, and then there can he no alteration except by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature ! Is not Governor Wise entirely right in his remark that, if Congress should aid and abet a Convention in doing this, it would be Intorvoning against non intervention ? Is he not right, too, in the position, that a constitutional form ought not to be Imposed on the people of Kansas? And that their soya reigq power, as a Ofate, ought not to ho snatched away from them even for a moment? CONSTITUTION OF KANSAS. Front tho Milwaukee Daily News, (fouling Democratic paper or 1V laconsin) of 201.1) November.) In this number of the "News" we print the " schedule " which has been Attached to the Kan sas Constitution. It is a remarkable document. By it we are enabled to infer the character of the Constitution itself—which its framers do cot eon descend to submit to a vote of the people. This schedule, our readers will understand, is necessa ry, if the Constitution is to be adopted, for without it no government could, in regular form, be or ganized, We do not lay this document before our readers, believing that it will ever effect anything, one way or another, but simply to post. them in cur• rent events; for, as the people of Kansas ore not, by the Convention which drafted the proposed Constitution, allowed to say whether tbsy will adopt or reject it, it is not to be for a moment sup posed that Conjreee will accept it, and form upon Kansas a Constitution which her people devise. It will be observed that this "schedule"de clares slavery to exist in Kansas, and assumes to take away from the people the power to abolish it! The Constitution also, independently of Melange that it is proposed to submit to the people, would fix slavery upon the Territory. We will not to-day treat this subject atlength. Indeed, our vitas have already been sufficiently indicated. 'We will say, however, that Cowen cannot accept this Manta tion without repudiating the principles andpledges of the Democratic party for the lroWithree years-- without being the instruments for consuatmating a great outrage upon the people of Kettles, and upon the mon who stand pledged to the funditmental doctrine that " Tire PEOPLE SHALL RULE. „ On the aide of the PEOPLE of Kansas, agoinst the framers of the proposed Constitution, is tie Presi dent and his Cabinet, the entire Democratic press of the North, and a respectable share of tie South ern Democratic press. HARPER'S MAGAZINE Of Harper for December, commenting the sixteenth volume, we have received two copies —one from Parry & McMillan and the other from T. B. Peterson, who continues to sell it at fifteen cents a number. It opens admirably, and seasonably, too, with a Christmas Garland of American Poems, consisting of cipico ex tracts beautifully illustrated by the firit artists. Among these are sundry established favorites, such as Simms's "Blessings on Children ;" 0. W. Holmes's " On Lending a Punch-Bowl;" Whittier's "Maud Miller ;" Bryantls "Song of Marion's Men," and a fragment on Connec tient, by Halleck. These specimesa give a favorable impression of Harper'a fotthcomtng gift-book, " The Poets of the Nineteenth Cen tury." An account of Madras, and some fur ther portion of Abbott's French Revslutionary history, arc also illustrated; and, btsides the Maidens, is a series of sixteen sketches, (comic, yet with a moral,) entitled " Insagindon versus Reality." With the exception of an article on "Cur Daughters," by the same Navy hand which executes the didactics of this Maga zine, almost every page has somcthirg good. A great deal better even than this ii the com mencement of is story, called "Jack of all Trades," written expressly for Harper, by Charles Rustle, the popular English novelist. It opens well, and promises to exhibit its author's ample knowledge of ever t . day life. Hero, also, are the opening chapters of Thackeray's new aerial " The Vi'ginians." Precisely as we anticipated, a month ago, the heroes of this story are the two Warringtons, grandchildren of that Eamond, Wtose quasi history Thackeray gave five years ago as a romance. When the story °pone, !ferny, the younger of those, is introduced its having arrived in England, in 1756, 'with the belief that his brother, Ge&ge, had been killed by the Indians, in the pre ceding year, for re he would gi out with General Braddock, on that dresdful busi ness to the Belle Rivitire," it looms—and this is a defect in the story—the young elan will turn lip, in duo come, alive if not merry. Henry Warrington goes down to the family seat of Castlewood, in Hampshire, whire he finds (and we are introduced to) a family party, among whom rather prominently 'figures the Baroness Bernstein—well known t6the readers of "Esmond," as the free-and-easy coquette Beatrix. The narrative is in Thackeray's quietest style, and reads pleasantly, though much of it is devoted to a sort of sum mary of the leading events in "Esmond." Here, we think, is a great defect. This intro ducing old figures on the new canvas, (a favor ite practice with theauthor,) necessitates one of two thins—either that you hare read and re. membered tc Esmond," or that you must read it to' learn the ibmily antecedents of the family paity who are to figure in tt The Virginians." There is some good writing hero, however, and here, as a specimen of word-painting, is a tiewitiful passage which, no doubt, will speedily bo• illustrated, in water colors and oils, by a score of artists: ' "With a boating heart Harry 'Warrington walked from the inn toward the house where bis grandaire's youth bad boon passed. The little village-green of Castlewood slopes down toward the river, which is spanned by an old bridge of a Anglo - broad arch, and from this the ground rises gradually' toward the house, gray with many gables and buttresses, and backed by a darkling weed. An old man sat at the wicket, on a stone bench, in front of the great arched entrance to 'the house, over which the earl's hatehment was hanging. " - An old dog was crouched at the man's feet. Immediately above the ancient sentry at the gate was an open casement, with some homely newels In the window, from behind which good-humored girls' faces wore peeping. They were watching the young traveller dressed In blnek, as ho walked up gating toward the castle, and the ebony at tendant who followed the gentleman's stops also accoutred in mourning. So was he at the gate in mourning, and the girls, when they came out had bleat ribbons." As might have boon anticipated, Mr. Thackeray has fallen into sundry local blun ders; speaks of Madam Esmond (who 'premises, In her way, to be quite a character) as having bad words and a S evon a scuffle or two, as we gather from her notes, at tho Governor's as aemblies at Jamestown"—but Williamsburg, not Jamestown, was the seat of the Govern ment and the residence of the Governor for many years before and after the alleged ,datei of :these acullies. .Again, Castlewood, Maklartilr tanond'a estato, ,is mentioned its'' being "in Westmoreland county, in Virginia." She is represented, about the year 1751, as consulting with "her young friend and neighbor, Mr. Washington, of Mount Vernon "—though, if George Wash ington be meant, he was only nineteen years ,Old it the time; and Mount Vernon must have been seventy to eighty miles distant from Easllowood, which circumstances make "Mr. Washington" ilirtoo yonng to be 'consulted on important business by such a self-sufficient woman as Madame Esmond, and far too distant to be considered by her.

MVO ItECZIVISD BY TNA ATLAYrre" AT Tills OFFICE.] FRANCE. PARIS, Monday, November o.—The intelligence from London, of the elevation of the.bank rate of discount to 10 per cent., and the heavy failure at Glasgow, has naturally increased tho uneasiness here; for it is felt that the Bank of France can no longer dolly raising its discount at least 1 per tent., and that Government will be compelled to adopt some atringdut measure. The state of French finance is not, however, of a character to justify the gloomy apprehensions which seem to prevail in commercial circles. The three per sent. Monte, ,which last month was 60 50, is now quoted at 67, whilelthe specie reserve of the Bank of France is 200,000,000, against 150,000,000 at the corresponding period of last year. Fresh advice' from the United States are awaited here with anxiety, and India is completely forgotten. In Paris, on Tuesday the 10th, the funds closed at 60 85 to 67 francs. A rumor prevailed in Liverpool on Wednesday, that the Bank of France ,had stopped payment, but it turned out to be merely a rise in the rate of discount. The accounts from Paris, received on the 11th, stow that thorn was great firmness on the Boum yesterday. In consequenoe of a rumor that a mea sure is about to be taken whieh will permit the rate of discount to remain as at present—at per cent. The Futile of the 9th proposes the following remedies for the monetary crisis: Firstly, To de area the compulsory circulation of bank notes, and an issue of Elfty-franc notes. Secondly, To raise the export duty on specie. Thirdly, As the ne• emery complement of these exceptional measures, to reduce the bank rate of discount to six per cent. At, Paris, according to the lettere reeetred nit Monday, the large American house of John Munro, A Co. has stopped payment. A clvices from the Franc h nunantao taxing 014104 announee a complete stagnation in business. HAMBURG. A letter from Hamburg, of the 7th instant, in the Independence Beige, slides that, on that and the preceding day, there was a regular panto on the Stook Exchange. There was a fall in every description of stock, as also on all bills of exehanie. pine on Franco, Belgium, and on the commercial marts of Germany and England, were unsaleable at the usual throe months date. There is great want of specie. The financial crisis was also be ginning to be felt in Sweden and Norway, and money was becoming scarce. The amount of Gorman bills drawn for merchan dise of every description, and protested, amounted on the 21st of October to nearly 11,000,000 ster-. ling. Since then the Vanderbilt fans brought ro tested bills between the 21st and 24th of Octo b er, to the amount of 1200,000 to 1240,000 more. 11OLLA D At Amsterdam the faders has taken place of the mercantile house of Gallerkamp Brothers.

AUSTRIA At Vienna there was continued depression in the mho' market, and the premium on gold was in• creasing. SWEDEN AND NORWAY. The financial crisis was beginning to be felt in Sweden and Norway, and money was beeoming marco. ENGLAND --•- . Tho suspension of the firm of Donnlatoun A Co. took place on Saturday, the 7th inst. It is one of the largest firms connected with the American trade in Great Britain. Their liabilities, it Is feared, cannot be much abort of £2,000,000, These are spread, however, very eslertnively, and it way, therefore, be hoped will not full on any particular district with each force aa to cause further heavy disasters. Messrs. BOOniAtollll have houses in New York and New Orleans, and the almost total cessa tion of remittances from those points has rendered their stoppage unavoidable. The bead establish. mint is in Glasgow, where It has existed upwards of seventy years, and there are branches in Liver pool and London. At Melbourne, in Australia, they have no correspondents Messrs. Dennistoun Brothers Co.. but happily that firm will not be compromised. The private property of the part ners in real estate and other possessions is known to be ofgreat magnitude, and it seems scarcely possible that oven under the worst circumstances their embarrassment can be more than temporary. Although anxiety has been felt with regard to them for several weeks past, their honorable stand ing has never for a moment been called in ques tion, and there will be on all sides a disposition to promote every arrangement that may be calcula ted to hasten the possibility of a complete resump tion. Tho London Times says: "The satisfaotory in telligence has been received from Sheffield that the liabilities of. Messrs. Naylor, Vickers, Co., instead of amounting to 54,000,000, as reported in some quarters, do not exceed .£.450,000.0r 4500,000, and that no other firmin therdistrick is likely to brcmg . isi dew*. by 'Abetswatrptmale tt if„,,OpeptitAf„ the principal erediffir's Mitt Sweden, end tbe on ly reason for delaying till the 25th inst. the meet ing at which a precise statement will be presented, is in order that a representative of those parties may ho present. It is understood that the stock of iron held by the firm in America anti England is worth $210,000, and that every debt owing to them in America is of a character on which any sound and prudent house might have implicitly relied. The blew, therefore, has been ono of the most sudden that have ever fallen on any mercan tile estaldidamont, and it is believed that the en tire proceedings connected with it, instead of dam aging the future reputation of the partners, will add to the confidence hitherto placed in them." SCOTLAND A circular was addressed yesterday, (Nov. 10.) by the manager of the Western Bank of Scotland to the various agents of that establishment, noti fying its stoppage. and explaining the circum stances which led to the disaster. It is admitted, that for some years past, under the late manager, a system of overtrading has been carried on through the facilities afforded by the system of re discounting. Reckless credits were given to cus tomers in Glasgow, and a correspondent In New York was allowed to make advances on securities, and to draw bills on the bank. Lately, on an in vestigation being instituted into some of the largest advance accounts, it was found that the houses to which they bad been made wore utterly insolvent, and that a large loss to the bank Me inevitable. The debtors went into bankruptcy, the American pause cameo on at the oasis time, de posits began to be withdrawn, and. finally, when the hour of pressure arrived the usual re sult leas witnessed, and the firms in Lon don who bad hitherto promoted the financial system of the concern, suddenly found it expedient to discontinue the re-discounts on which it had relied. Application for assistance was then made to the Bank of Scotland. The Bank of Scotland consulted the other Edinburgh banks, and the Union Bank of Scotland, who declined granting any aid until an appeal had boon made to the Bank of England. The Bank of 'England, of course, refused to interfere. The Scotch hanks then offered .£boo,ooo, but on condition that a winding up should take place. This was peremp torily resisted, and the £.590,000 was ultimately Iranted without condition. During the delay, however, many of the customers of the hunk had begun to withdraw their deposits, and an applica tion for further assistanee was soon found neces sary. This mot with a decided negative, and the stoppage accordingly took place. The directors do not give up all hope of the possibility of a resump tion, and a general meeting is to be held in tilas gow at an early day. Meanwhile, arrangements are to ho attempted for the retirement of the note circulation, and if puNsibie of small deposits. The City of la , gotv Bank, at IA lusgow, stopped payment on November 11 THE AMERICAN PANIC [From the London Times, Nor. 11 ) Our Transatlantic neighbors take the convulsion of their money market with their accustomed coolness. Their trade is, for the time, indeed. al most dead Could peoplo, upon the failure of a circulating medium, fall back immediately upon the original principle of commerce—exchange in kind—this need not be the result; for why should not n snuff-box procure a pair of boots, a pound of coffee, a beefsteak Why should not cutlery and carpeting, hosiery and cattle, grain nod broad cloth, timber, and glass, and earthen), are, conic to an understanding with each other!

But in the midst of this awful stand-still the American mind continues cool, and nothing disturbs its self-pos ses-dun. The n hole nflair is taken as an income. nicum—ft very great inconvenience, like rho loss of your carpet-bag, but not as ruin. and hardly as adversity. Thu bank "cashes under protest :•' the railway concludes to piths its dividends i. r , not to pay the shareholders a farthing. The " policy of suspension" is " declared " through out the Union. This coolness is, whop we es - amino it, the result of a constant atmosphere of risk, in which the American tradesmen, even in quiet times, lives. Ills ordinary system is pitched to a higher point in the sealo of risk than that of the European is. This is ono of the remarkable disclosures in which tho present panic has resulted; it has brought this fact—familiar enough to the %sorb' of trade and the well-informed world—prominently forward, and put it before tho oyo of the whole public; so that porhaps this commercial crisis, heavy as it is, Is not so important to the spectator on Its own ac count noon account of the ordinary state of things which it has brought to light The uncontrolled Issuo of local paper money in the United States has given to the whole medium of exchange the same uncertainty which corrupt coinage gave to the Eu ropoan medium in the middle ages A man who soils an article in a Shop literally does not know what tho thing called money which be receives in exchange for it is worth. The uncontrolled issue of local paper looney is the 0111180 of this. Tho Federal tiorurnmont, while it reserves to itself the privilege of coining, practi cally leaves every State of the Union ton paper coinage of its own, thoconsequenoo of which liberty in the greatest differonce of value between the notes of different States. And when there is difference of value there is also—what is the worst part of D— a groat uncertainty as to what that difference is; TWO CENTS. BO that, in fact, nobody in America exactly knows when he is paid for anything, what and bow mesh le paid him. A five-pound note is a fire-pound net° in this country, everybody knows what it is. but a five-pound note in America is not a five pound note to him, he Rieke at it, it is • note Wired by the " Incorporated Butchers" or "Boot makers," he turns it over, holds it to the light, I and. with the insignificant question, " You have nothing else?" goes to his " Detector'—t t book which, as our correspondent says, "is itself a tom meet on the whole system," to see if he can fled anything about his new paper acquaintance there I If that Index erpurgatonout, that black list -id broken banks, suspensions, and known counter felts," does not Include the offered note, ha accepts it, but still reluctantly and suspiciously. Every shepleeper in the Union is thoroughly familiar with this process; he repeats it many times every day. The mar coiner the different "terrereigu ties" has its different value and its varying value. And, as if for the express purpose of increasing the uncer tainty in the value of notes, the rivalry of the die. ferent States comes in to make a factitious and arbitrary difference, even when there is none on really commercial grounds. The shops and hotels of St. Louis rejected the notes of Illinois—even the cab drivers and omnibus men would not . touch them—at the late State cattle fair. "Irby? The notes were based en the came stook, funds, and deist of their respective States, and the Missouri stock was every bit as good as Illinois Meek. The reason was simple State rivalry. There was bad footles between the two States. The consequence was that nobody in Illinois would pay the oomph-- meat to Missouri which is implied in that trust i n Missourian stock, which trust in Missourian stock is implied in taking bitwoertati meta Or, what is the same thing, everybody in Illinois thought that everybody else would look at Mime rian notes In this light, end therefore nobody would incommode hinmelf by taking what be thought his neighbor would trot acknowledge. A general idea is the same as a renlltyr4 such cease. Now, in al/falai° of thingsqg course, the mono polist erompanies take the law into their own hand, amid reject every thing but bullion. They do this, because they can do lt-ebecause they can compel a public, unable to do without them; to submit to their own terms; though thil is ilemetitnes tried without success, and the Miasisetppi Steam Qom= pony a ft er its announcement thet it Would only 'take curreeey," obtained no cargoes. But the claim is sueeteisful in some cased. First of all, the Federal Government insists upon specie, and will not touch a single note of any bank in the United States. This excites the wrath of the high-smiled Amesicatellnancier, who looks upon this Government rule as an unfair, moan policy— the view that a schoolboy would take of an ex treme nod ungenerous pressure of the rules of the ,game. This government clabn, which I simply amounts to a claim for the exact sum, and no more or lees than what is owing to it, is etigtnatised as " the excess of cynic ism." The popular feeling in America r oots with the paper circulation, and jeslouslf watches all ate tempts to bring it into diffioulties or to charge it with its extreme resporeabillties. It him bred a set of conventional rules, a sort of code of honor, in connection with the paper system. If these rules of the game are violated, the sneak and des- tard who wante to have money for his notes is rightly " served out." The "aesorter," which is the name of a person who connote in one State the notes of another State, and sends back these tra vellers that have wandered to a fortunate distance from their responsible source home again: the "snorter" is regarded in America rather as a a geldeweater would be here. He is looked upon as playing unfair tricks with the cir culating medium. An agent with a carpet-bag full of these exiles found on his arrival an in dignant crowd, summoned by a hostile telegraph, swishing him, and very wisely returned with bin carpet-bag unopened, and his own person not tarred and feathered, as it would certainly have been had he attempted a visit on the bank. When once a note has gone abroad it is oorsidered en exile for life—not an unhappy. but a blissful emigrant Into a region of perpetual freedom and joy—the trim negative paradise ef the bank-note, a state of transcendent annihilation—total disconnection with payment. The American bank, on dismissing its .£lO note, sends it away with the paternal blessing of the Welsh father : "My lad, never let me see your face again;" but does not accompany Its blessing with the traditional lialf-crown which is popularly appended to the Welsh one. It Is easy to see how such a circulating medium must affect trade. Government and the great mo nopolists can insure specie, but the ordinary trades man depends on a fluctuating, slippery medium, of which he never can know the exact value, even when substantially safe, and which be is never sure is safe. How is a tradesman to regulate his profits under such circumstances? The whole is a risk front beginning to end. And this atmosphere of risk is the regular atmosphere of the Amerman tradesman. No wonder that with such an educa tion he takes the convulsions of his money-market coolly.

They all wore their hair in long curls, and, with the exception of Mrs. Mary Lewis, looked cheerful, and even defiant The history of Mrs. Lewis is a sad one. She is the wife of Mr. Harlow Lewis, of Skaneateles, N.
