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. Cos v, editor of the Ohio

"there arc not seventeen men in Ohio any

prayer meeting, or a Copperhead Conven

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

any other steps. The doors of the establish

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.

capital in half a million sterling, and the Con
...sandaled Discount Company, with a pal.' up
'capital of // quarter of a million sterling, must

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

Meeting. of she Halimitary Committee.
The regular weekly meeting of the Sanii,,y.
Committee appointed by Councils was Lehi
last evening In the Chamber of the Select
Council, in the City Building.
Present, Messrs. Lyon, Ford, Boggs, Mawian
ney, Simpson, iteeso and President Gallaher.
The minutes of the preceding meetMg were
read and approved, after which Mr. Morrow,
as one of the Sub-Committee appointed at the
previous meeting for i he purpose of district
ing the city, and engaging men to see that
those districts ho kept clean, reported that
the Sub-Committee had set live mon to work,
as per order, and that those men were only
employed for one week, at the expiration of
which time, if their services were not satis
factory, they were to be discharged.
Mr. Reese wished to know if the manic pur
sued by the Sub-Committee was in any way at
variance with the instructions given to the
Committee at the last meeting.
Mr. Morrow, stated that they had follow.
ed the instructions given them _at the pre
vious meeting, and In no way had deviated
from the plan laid down in the resolution that
had matted them.
•
Mr. Ford read a notice front the Board of
Health that they were willing to aid the Saul
tary Committee in any way that would be con
ducive to the welfare of the city. Mr. Ford
then offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Committee of Seven are
hereby instructed to notify their messengers
to report daily to the Board of Stealth all nui
sances coming within the scope of their ob
servation.
Before taking the vote on the resolution of
fermi, Mr. Reese desired to offer a suggestion
which was, and a citizen from each ward be
appeintell as a Committee of Inspection the
duty of whom would be to see that their re-
spective wards were cleansed from all filth
and offal.
• -• • - • •-
Dr. George L. McCook as a member of the
Board of Health, desired to make a suggestion
in behalf of the Board, if the Committee
would grant him the prfy liege.
On motion that ,privilege was accorded to
the Doctor, who went on to state that., in his
opinion, the Committee had no legal right to
arrest a man for committing or maintaining a
nuisance, that power being only vested in tie
Board of Health. and that a warrant issued on
the authority of the Committee would be
treated by the guilty ones with contempt.
Be also stated that in the year 1854 there were
more deaths from cholem In Pittsburgh than
in anycitv of the United States to proportion
to its population, with the exception of Nor
folk, Va. and Sandusky, Ohio.
Dr. Gallaher, in reply, stated that the Board
of Health had notified the Committee of their
willingness to authorize the acts of those per
sons employed by the sub-committee.
Mr. Ford said he differed with Doctor McCook
in regard to the legal right of the Committee
to institute proceedings against_parties
charged with maintaining nuisances . Frei knew
the t.ommitteo had the requisite authority,
and that authonty was to be found in an act. of
Assembly which, for the benefit of the meet
ing, Mr. Ford reaa aloud. This act gave to
any citizen the power to institute proceedings
for nuisances.
Mr. Hutchinson, from the Board of Health,
objected to the passage of the resolution, on
the ground that the members of the Board had
not time to attend daily to the interest of the
city. He also suggested that the next Leglain
turn be requemed to increase the Board of
Health from nine to twelve, In whom would
be vested the authority to try all cams of nui
sance, and from whose decision there could be
noa r P
Ur. cook thought that the plea adopted
by the Committee would prove a failure, but
lie was glad that the experiment lout been
tried.
lir. Ford said he thought it was time to
speak plain. If the Board of Health did not
wish to co-Operate with the Committee, ho
wished them to say so.
Mr. Hutchinson, on behalf of tho Board of
Health, stated that they were willingg to assist
in having the city properly cleansod, but that
they desired to me the Committee go to won k
in the right way.
Mr. Morrow called for the Anestion on Mr.
Ford's resolution.

After an animated debate, which was indulg

the resoluti on declared cared
by an unanimous vote.
