From the Loudon Times, (City Article,)
Oct.O.J
The Bank of Etialaud have to-day raised
their rale of discouut from 7 per cent., wbicb
was adopted on Mouduy last, to 8 per. cent.
1 uia step is solely in consequence ol the
American news. According to the latest
dates, the rate or exchange even for the best
bills bad fullon t a poiut which would give a
very large profit on gold from England, and
although, owing to the possibility of a trodden
rebound, speculators on this side might hesi
tate to undertake the operation to a heavy
extent, the amount of bills transmitted from
New'York, with direct orders for returns to
' be made in specie, coupled with 'the sums
being despatched by our capitalists for the
purchase of securities, involve the certainty
of a further drain, against which tbo most
prompt precautions were requisite. The
public were aware that the question of an
advance to 8 per cent, would depend entirely
upon these advices, and if the Ariel bad
arrived at ber expected time, the movement
would doebtless have been adopted threo or
four days buck, since the latter accounts,
brought via Boston, are scarcely so bad as
those with which she started.
The rate now reached is equal to the, high
est known in modem times, and our only ex
perience of it was for four weeks from the
25th of October, 1817, when the railway
panic attaiued its climax, and consols were
down at 80, the bunk bullion having been
reduced to 8,312.000, and the reserve to
1, 547 000. In the present instance it is
unlikely that the pressure will last even so
long as four weeks, but, as our condition most
depend upon tho course of the American
disorder, and it is impossible to conjecture
. what may be tho next turn of frenzy, wc must
bold ourselves prepared lor oil contingencies,
According to the accounts to-doy every.
thing had been brought to a dead lock.
Debts could not bo paid between distant
cities because there were no safe means of
remittance, and produce ready to be converted
into gold could not bo forwarded to port,
owing to the absence ofauy power of obtain
ing advances upoo it. Every one saw that if
the machinery of ordinary custom could
gain be set in motion, all would instantly be
righted ; but in no quarter was there power
to brine nhnul such a result. nether C3
cape would be found through some final con
vulsion, or through a slow and fluctuating
convalescence, no one could predict, but it
was certain that matters could not continue
Ions; in their then State.
Amoug the considerations on the favorable
Bide was the fact tnat the stock or specie l
the New York banks still stood at 2,280
000, which is beyond its average amount, and
more than 500,000 in excess of tho total
held at the corresponding period of last year,
while their note circulation was less than at
that time. The California arrivals of about
' 250,000 each fortnight would also be re
' tained, and in less than a week the Vender
bill would be due from Havre, with, it was
believed, 200,000, to be followed shoitly by
the 820.000 lately despatched from London
and Liverpool. Against these prospects, the
ouly aluruiiiig point is the possibility of the
run upon the banks lor hoardmgpurposes,
Which had already assumed disagreeable pro,
portions, becoming altogether ungovernable
Krvrrfkof Fortune. Among the list of
those who were obliged to yield to the pressure
snd suspend payment there was tha name of
one geutiumuu published last week whose
case is peculiarly severe, homo years ago,
when gold was first discovered in California,
lie went out there, and by Ins exertions accu
tnulated upwards of 100,000, which he in
vested in real estate and returned to this city
and engaged ia active business here. A few
months ago, when there was a finuncial panic
in San Francisco, he sent out an agent to
look after bis interests, with orders to convert
everything into cush, at any sacrifice. The
result was that the agent closed everything
for $b0,000, with which lie started lor home
and took passage on board the Central Ann,
rica, ia which vessel he was lost with hit
treasare, and the owner from independence
Las been reduced to poverty. This is. a hard
case, indeed, Button Gazette.

It has been rumored in some of the papers
that Wm. U. Foster, Esq., Vice President
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
tended to resign on account of ill health
We are pleased, however, to see this rumor
contradicted. The management of the Penn
sylvunia Railroad is alike creditable to the
late and the officers and board who conduct
its affairs. When Mr. Foster was a candi-
ate for re-election for Canal Commissioner
we opposed him, for reasons mainly of a local
character, but which subsequent events have
laced in a different light. We have ever
ntertained for bint a hieh regard for Lis
fficial abilities and integrity of character,
nd trust tho company may long retain bis
valuable services.

An editorial article under this head, ap
peared in our columns last week, daring our
absence at Philadelphia, which should pro
perly have been inserted as a communication.
Mr. Allibone, it is true, has always been re
garded as a men of good character and busi
ness habits, bnt we do not wish it to be tin-
erstood that we approve of the presont
Banking system, and the manner in which the
Pennsylvania and other Banks of Philadel
phia, have been conducted, of late years.
ALE OF THE fHILAD fcXPIMA & SLMJirtV
RAIL. no. 111.
On Monday last the Sheriff of this county
sold the Philadelphia and Suubury Railroad,
extending from Sunbury to Mt. Carmel or
whero it intersects the Mine Hill extension,
together with seven tracts of coal land, con
taining abont 3000 acres, on which is erected
the "Lancaster Colliery" and other improve
ments, aud also all the locomotive engines
and cars. The Lancaster Colliery tract was
bid up to $600. The other tracts to 100
each. The sale was made by the holders of
the second mortgage bonds, and was, of
course, subject to the first mortgage, which
amounts to $700,000. We understand that
the second mortgage bonds, S'00,000 in
amount, will be cancolled and converted into
stuck. The property was knocked down to
12. S Wheelen of Philadelphia, who repre
sents the parties interested iu the first und
second mortgages. The bond holders of the
third mortgage may, perhaps realise some
time out of a tract of land covered by the
latter mortgage.
The road is in excellent condition and
must always prove ono of the most produc
tive in the country. The coal lauds and im
provements, are alone worth, perhaps, $200,.
000 or $300,000. If the new Company would
dispose of these lands, the proceeds would
enable them to make a through connection
with the Miue Hill cxlensiou, and stock the
road, aud make it oue of the most valuable
improvements in the country.
PltU'KS OF IMIOVIIO.
There is a general complaint, and very
properly loo, of the high price of all tbe ne.
cessaries of life. Flour and bread is perbapa
higher in this neighborhood, than any portion
of the Slate. This bears severely npon tliofe
who can least afford it, and has compelled
individuals, io some places, to form leagues or
associations to protect themselves.. Good
wheat could be procured and sold here by
oar millers, at SI 40 to $1 CO per butLib
and flour at $3 50 per 100 pounds. As a
general thing 100 pounds of good Hour will
produce 133 pounds of bread, and when ba
kers in cities do a largo business, they can
afford to give a pound of bread for one of
flour. In the country 25 per cent additional
would, perhaps, not be too much. And a
flour ran be obtained at 3J cts., per pound,
bread'might be sold at 4 with a profit of
over 50 per cent. Tbe inflated prices that
have ruled for years past must come down.
Things must ait u me a standard mora iu ac
cordance with the common sense view of
oldeu time. There is 00 reason why beof,
butter, tit., should sell at almost double price
while potatoes aud many other article re
noarly the same. A for wheat we must ex
pect to pay something more than city price,!'

At a Fremont Republican be serves up iu

replied in tho same classic style :

63)rTiiE Times axd the Tariff. A sub
scriber who was a workman in tbe Furnace
of Mr. S. H. Wood, at Red Point, requests
us to discontinue Lis paper a be ia about to
leave. Ho says
"Our wages is broke 25 cents on the dollar
now, and to be paid in store pay altogether.
Su 1 think J caouot pay for your paper any
more, for I think by this time next year there
is not a working mun but will bo head over

and your free trad is tho cause of all our
troubles."
we think our mend has not read our
paper very attentively, or he would not
accuse us of favoring ''free trade." We have
ever advocated a tariff that would exclude
foreign iron and other leading article that
should and could be manufactured at, borne.

I ha been decided to await the reception
of official advice from Gov. Walker before
acting further in reference to hi rejection of
the Oxford returns. I he question of Illegal

Governor Walker were to this effect. The
matter is a delicate one, mere particularly as
one or two members of be Cabinet ar ae

bold stand in tbe matter, and as is believed,
sustain Walker.
