WE BESPEAK attention in the card in our advertising columns headed "Krtrauts RAWL'S BANNING HOUSE." it gives us unfeigned satisfaction to know that immed iately after the heavy losses of the Phila %.elphia house, with which this firm was Connected, the frientis'of Kronur Rehm tame promptly to their rescue, and ad %armed them an amonnt of capital abun dantly adequate to their 'necessities. In this aetifaction we are confident this whole business community will' , participate. The testunonial of the 'depositors, which we publish, fall and complete, as to the honomblonesSaf the house, is not needed here. Of the integrity and probity of each member of the Hrm, no' doubt or suspicion has ever been felt. Of the senior partner, Allen Kramer, Esq., we have been coutem ,orary for forty years, and can truly say that his life has been one of great moral excellence. To no other man can so many parsons, now prosperous, ascribe their suc cess. No one has surpassed him in the ople of aiding others. No radian niopist among us has been more frequent Or more munificent in his benefactions. Vifie express the common sentiment of this City when we declare our deep gratification at this new arrangement in the interest of oil the members.of the-late firm. AN Ipicusit mason A. Into London letter contains the follow ing aboat Earl Grosvenor, an English nabob; and at present a prominent charae ter in Parliament : He is a very "mild" young gentleman, with just about brains enough to, put up his umbrella whin it rains. But what ho Licks in brains he makes up in cash. He is the heir to the great estate of the Mar quis of Westininster--arcestate from which the annual Income is onstaillion and a half of dollars. Every day that passes over this man's father, whether ho lies In bed or gets up, brings to him its regular return of over $4,000. The way the ihmily acquired this fabulous wealth was as follows : The grandfather of the present marquis was a poor lord," - owning a quantity of low marshy land in Westminster. With the growth of London, that land, hitherto unproductive, began to assume an immense value; when a master builder, named Cu hitt, wholied worked his way up from pov erty, leased theland, turned it into city lots, built that magnificent portion of Lon don known- , is Pimlioasnd Belgravia, ac quired a vast fortune for himself, and load ed down the marquis with wealth. In a few years, at the expiration of Cnhitt's lease, all these magnificent houses, a city of palaces, will become the property of the marquis; and the present enormous wealth of the Grosvenor family will be increased more than six-fold. Yet this. Earl Grosve nor, the heir to all this property, begrudges the poor workingmen, whose toil has built up such a colossal pile of. opulence, the mere light 01 voting for those who are to make the laws of the land. Well; his lordship is like many a South ern nabob, who acquired large wealth through the unpaid toil of black men, and now is unwilling they should enjoy any of the rights of citizenship. TILE Mobile (Ala.) Nationalist gives the following resume of the composition of the Union parry of titotvtintry: Tan Gauix Panvv.--The personnel of the Republteau party is remarkable. In the North, it comprises within its ranks nineteen-twentieths of the members of all Protestant churches, excepting the Episco paleaus—and a large majority of the mem bers of that denomination; almost the en tire membership of all moral or benevolent associations; four-fifths of the literati, pro fessional men, teachers, etc.; three-fourths of the returned soldiers; a large proportion of the prominent business men—especially miners, manufacturers and bankers, and certainly a decided majority of the farming population. Ever since its formation this party has been growing with amazing ra pidity, and its accessions have been prmci pally from the above classes, which do not change easily—until uow it controls every Northern State including Missouri. And this is the party that democratic newspapers sneer at as radical, fanatical, incendiary. If there ever was, in The his tory of the world, a party that combined in larger degree, all We best elements of a nation, no tecord of its existence has come down to these times. The Union party ap propriating ao largely the best elements o the nation, what is left for the party oppos ed to it A. ictrauten of persons have recently re turned to the national treasury sums of money which had been dishonestly ob tained. Each of these sums is of small amount. Is it, therefore, to be understood that no large sums hitire beentnindulently taken from the government ? .or, that con sciences are so constructed that the coin miting of great wrongs does not disquiet them Tax Johnson papers profess great ela tion over the success , Of their demonstra tion at Philadelphia last Saturday night. It ought not to be aiflicalt for them to raise a crowd so long as they have all the Demo crats to help them. The marvel is, they do not suspect their own fidelity td loyal prin ciples when they see what company they are in. • Tax last European advicea show that the French people put as little dependence on the formal assurances of their Emperor as intelligent observers elsewhere do. A feeling of uncertainty and disquietude per vades all classes of French society in view of what may come of existing inter national controversies. Joust W.

WAR REGARDED AS INEVITABLE. iistivax, May 21.—The steamship Cuba, from Liverpool on the 17th , via Queenstown on the ISth inst., has arrived. The Continental news continues war like, but a Berlin dispatch to-day anys hopes are still entertained In some quarters for the maintenance of peace, probably on the ground that Austria will make some concessions. It is believed that no treaty has yet been conclu ded between Prussia and Italy. The Paris correspondent of the London Trio. grapiii believes, on good authority, that there is a chance for peace, if England and Russia will join France In a Congress. Liverpool, May 13.—German politics are un chaned. The g last raised Mexican volunteers will enter the Austrian army. The steamer I...lmperatrice Eugenie, from Mexieo, has arrived at :lessen with troops and nine million francs, three million for the French treasury. The Paris Bourse ass very irregular, but closed firm. Rent., NI, me, OltlifiT,Barrara—'rhe financial panic culmi nated late on Thursday afternoon, the 10th In the suhllensiou of Overend, Guerney A Co. Their business was converted in August last into a !Bailee liability company, with a nomi nal Capital of five milltons sterling, of which a million and a half was paid. The liabilities Are stated at ten to twelve million pound!. sCarling. The breakdown Is attributed to hoary speculative sales of shares which forced mom down from a premium to a discount. Depositors then began to get alarmed, and the draw on the 10th was very severe. Application for assistance was made at the Bank of England, but the governors decline to grant any on the ground that It would be vain in a crisis 'like the present t o mend one establishment unless they were prepared to help Bo:other applications as welt It was ton late to make a canon the shareholders or take any other steps. The doors of the establish ment were consequently closed. The follow inn morning. Friday the 11th. intense excite meat prnrailed in the financial circles of Cro ton, Liverpool and other centres, and business was utmost suspended. The Times, of the 17th, in its city article, says that the Bank of England yesterday raised the rate of discount from eight to nine per cent. and the charge for special advances to ten. The pressure even at these tenms was enormous, and it was only on unexceptiOrne 'de bills that acoommodation could he obtain ed. Meanwhile additional and most serious hamsters were hourly announced. The first was a comparatively natal Bank, the English Joint stock, Inr Ste,oo., then came that of Pet. Betts for E 4,003,000; then that ot W. Sheitnp. ton, railway contractor, for .C2:10,000; and tinnily, it was understood that the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association, whose paid up capital in half a million sterling, and the Con ...sandaled Discount Company, with a pal.' up 'capital of // quarter of a million sterling, must older extremely_ heavy commitment. pass In- During the day the most in- ' tense anxiety was manifested to ascertain if zany steps had been taken by loading mer chants and bankers to reprcreunt to the duo , rnment the extent of the crisis, and the false notitleatton In the Stock F.xelsange, to the ef fect that an extrn issue of lank notes to the extent of ten millions had been authorised, caused at one time a general rebound in ittleca Later in the evening, it • ranspi red that the .Mvernment had resolved to suspend the batik charter act. The assets of Bette & Pet., even under the most depressed circumstances, are estimated at ave millions sterling, and it Is confidently assumed that m short time propositions for the adjustment of all claims can be submitted. Even' one will hope that this may be the case, for Mr Morton Foto and his partner rank prominent ly among those who have carried the fame of English enterprise to all parts of the globe, while they hams commanded high personal regard in all sections among their country- Men. It is already known tha t several failures among dealers will be announced in connec tion with the half monthly settlement on the Stock Exchange. A large number of country hankers were in London to confer with the London agents to provide against all danger from local runs. Rumors were circulated in the course of the day of a severe ron on the bank of Barrett & dares, Honbury & Co, but they were entirely without foundation. There was a run on two or three other banks, but toeing well mot, soon subsided. Itoth in Lon don and in the country preparations were very generally made for such contingencies. In the Liverpool cotton market there was an increased panic at the commencement on Fri day, but less unsteadiness at the close. At Manchester there was s complete pause. At Glasgow the iron brokers resolved to sus pend business tW bionday. In the produce markets at London prices were almost wholly nominal. Taking into account the depreciation that has eimultaneonsly occurred in English funds, railway and foreign securities, &a, the dimi nution in the market value of this property since the beginning of the year may be con stderred to reach ..C12A.000,003, to say nothing of losses on cotton, cotton goods, Iron and other articles. The Timm, in an editorial says If anything can justify the suspension of the bank charter act, the panic which swayed the city to and fro on Friday may excuse the step, although we believe the reign of terror was approach ing its end, and would have speedily ceased, had no Infraction of the bunk law been per mitted. Even now it is probable the license allowed to banks will not be used. It cannot, however, be denied that about midday yester day the tumult became a rout,. The doors of the most respectable banking houses were be sieged, more, perhaps, by a mob actuated by the strange sympathy which makes and keeps a mob together than by oredltors of the banks, and throngs tearing and tumbling about Lom bard street made that narrow thoroughfare impassable. Such excitement on all sides naa not been witnessed since the great ' , mats of 1225. Each man exaggerated the suspicion', of his neighbor, and until a report, at that time unfounded,was circulated In the afternoon that the Government had authorized Bank Direc tors to issue rive million additional= notes. It seemcal as If fear and distrust of the commer cial world has suddenly become boundless. The 'statement was baseless at. the time, but It served to allay the panic, which had nu solid foundation. Even the announcement of Pato , ' suspension did not revive the panic in its diet Intensify: and the sti-cement of other stoppages 7e Is, te need persuadede e ffect , that Gov ernment stood lirm, the panic would have sub sided Itself, and If, as we are to expect., confi dence will be speedily restored, we snail at tribute it to natural causes rather than to the interference of the Executive Government. „ . . The Daily .3.eirs applauds • the wise and prompt action of the Government, and nays: During Friday the bank had extended Its los ses and discounts until the amount bad ex ceeded four millions sterling. Thu effect was to reduce the bank reserves by nearly three millions. This dimunition and prevailing dis trust Justified the Government's intention. The action of the Government was answered In the Goose of Commons on Friday, at mid night by Mr. Gladstone, who had been engag ed in convention with bankers and others, who represented to him that the panic in the city was without n parallel In the financial history of the country. Mr. Gladstone said he had addressed a letter to the flank of England to the effect that If they should find occasion to afford relief to the wants of legitimate commerce, and make such advances es would require the Issue of notes beyond the amount allowed by act, Government recommended them not to hesi tate in doing so, and undertook in the event of that contingency, to make immediate ay pliesitlon to rarliament for an not of in demnity. Parliamentary proceedings are unimpor tant- The House of Commons debated with some warmth the finestiOn of Inefficiency from old age of two Irish Judges. 81r Robert Peel provoked some slight excitement. No action was taken. The Morning Herald says; 4 very largo meeting of Lord Derby>. supporters was hpid on the Ilth.

It is {dated that Pruseia, In reply to the Aus trian dispatch of May ith, Watira to the Dntchiee, expressed a willingness to enter in to fresh negotiations upon another heals, since that now proposed is not suitable as a start ing point.
