The Late General Jackson. We Announced I...
THE LATE GENERAL JACKSON . We announced in our last the death of this celebrated man , tlic pride of his country and thc benefactor of his specios . Such a man should not pass away from amongst us without thc rising generation being informed as to what manner of man he was , so that , knowing his principles and acts , they may devote themselves to the furtherance of those principles , and seek—however humbly—to imitate those acts .
A knowledge of Axdukw Jackson s career will also enable the young men of England to contrast the character of this hero aud legislator , sprung from the rnnks ef the people , with the generals aud _n ' eld-marshals , and thc hereditary and class-elected lawgivers of their own country . The contrast will , " wo guess , " be quite sufficient to convince the most obtuse , ofthe iiiperiority of that system which invests the people with thc national sovereignty ( as in America ) , over that system which nominally invests the sovereignty in King , Lords , and Commons , but really in a few hundred land-robbers , and a few thousand _profitniongers , with the addition ofa gilded , powerless , puppet , dubbed Quees I Impressed , therefore , with thc desirableness of placing upon record in our columns
the leading facts of General Jacksos ' s public life , we had intended to have prepared a sketch of his career , when , casting our eyes upon our contemporary , the 2 Vnc _Memtry ( of Wednesday last ) , wc found that thc Editor of that paper _hr-d anticipated us , in the me _ moir given below . Thc writer of that memoir Thomas Dociilt . » av , Esq ., —we cannot mistake the authorship of thc article , —as a pupil of William _ConiiEii and an uncompromising advocate of the _principles of the Jackson policy , was well fitted to do justice io the great American soldier and _statesman , if we reg » t ' anything , it is , that Mr . Doubli-day has not more fully discharged a duty for which he is so eminently qualified . With these remarks we introduce ' to cur readers the following sketch of the life of
GENERAL JACKSO . V "The V . _O-.-W has te _* i its best and g _.-e-iiwtv-mn . General _J . _- . _Zr . _sx-s has _csi'irid , . « _U of years ¦ and

honours , and with the calmness of a hero , a philosopher , and a Christian , at his farm at Hermitage , having not lived quite long enough to be assured from the lips of his friend , General Houston , that his plan for the prompt ' annexation of Texas' was now sure of success . " Axdrew Jackso . v was born on the 15 th March , in the year 1707 , at Waxsaw , in South Carolina , and was consequently seventy-eight years of age atthe tunc of his decease . Ue was the son of poor Irish parents , who , tired of the misery oftheir wretched countiy , luckily for mankind , and , no doubt ,
conducted by an all-seeing Providence , left it two years before the birth of their son Andrew , and settled in Carolina on a small farm . Their son early showed " what spirit he was of . " He , at the outset of life , studied and practised thc law ; but events soon led hini to prove to the world that iu thc lawyer were hidden the commander and the statesman , and that his knowledge of law would only enable him more effectually to serve his country in the latter capacity . _Vi'hcn the Revolutionary war of 1773 broke out , Jacksox was a boy . His eldest brother , Hugh , however , took the side of his country , and lost his
life iu the earlier period of thc contest . Nothing daunted at this , Axdukw _Jacksos , at the early age of fourteen , iu company with his brother Robert , joined the army under Washington * ; and , after distinguishing themselves , were taken prisoners by thc British , when the future General and President nearly lost his life by thc cut of a _safevc from an English ruffian , given in cold blood after his being made prisoner . On the end of the war-in 17 _J . 3 , Asdkew , now the sole survivor of the three brothers , studied iaw , and , after a few years' practice , settled himself witb his wife ( for he now
married ) on an estate on Cumberland River , near Nashville , where he lived for a few years in the quiet and happy seclusion of an American farmer , until elected one of the _i-eprcsentativcs of Congress for Teucsse . Iu 1813 , England , flushed with the coining triumph over _Boxapabtk , resolved , if possible , to break up the American union ; and at last provoked that war with tho States , which proved so disastrous both by sea and land . This event again called forth the soldier-like qualities of Jackson . He had been accustomed , as a Colonel of Militia , to warfare with the savage tribes on the Mississippi ; and these tribes were now excited to attack the States as a diversion
in favour ofthe English troops which werc to operate further north . Jackson , now a General of the United States , was ordered to defend the States that ait connected with thc great river Mississippi from the fury of tliese savages , whose cruelties wcre terrible . In this duty , after a most arduous forest campaign , he completely succeeded . * and lie had entirely dispersed the Indian tribes , when he was suddenly called on to defend thc city of New Orleans , which was menaced by a fleet and an army of from nine to ten thousand pieked British troops , under Generals' Sir _Edwaud _Pake-toa _* _** , _Gibbb , _Eeane , and
Lambebt . The events of that defence , and of the memorable battle fought on January 8 th , 1815 , before New Orleans , arc known to all the world . Thc English were driven to their ships , leaving dead upon the field Pakexham and Gibbs , with near three thousand of the bravest of their troops ' , This great victory concluded the war , and Jackson retired to his Jarni at Nashville , witliout expecting from his country those rewards for his performance of a mere duty , wliich the mercenary "heroes" of _otfarcountriesdecniit no shame to wring from thc very bones of their starving countrymen .
" This great man was now to enter upon a new career . He was now a senator of the " United Statue . The vile English landed and monied aristocrats , baffled in their attempts to enslave America by „ _-ar , were now endeavouring to do it by the agency of papermoney . They had corrupted and bought the leaders oftkatvillauous faction that in-America arc called Whigs . ' They had bribed Clay , the speech-maker ; Quixct Adams , the senator ; Wkbster _, the flimsy lawyer ; and Cisawford , a politician by trade . Thoy had , through the agency of these men , got Congress to allow a huge bank to be set up , called ' The
Uiiited-Statcs-i-auk ' a thing created solely by the purses , and forthe treacherous purposes of the English Jews ; and by the briberies through this bank , they hoped to gain a control over the whole American Legislature ! Jacksox , and all the wellinformed men of the State .- ; , saw through this infamous but deep scheme . He denounced it to his fellow-citizens . The young farmers and working men , who , in America , understand that ' currency question' audits working ? , which seem to puzzle us so much here , formed associations to stand by thc
General tili hc should strangle this monster . In IS _2-1 , accordingly , Jackson was a candidate for thc Presidency ofthe States , lie waa opposed bythe three traitors , Clay , Adams , and _Ciiawfoub j aud not having an absolute majority over the whole three , was foiled ; the second election by States choosing Q xrsax Adams . In 1 S 2 S , however , Clay and Ciuw-I' _onn being cowed by the spirit of the people , the contest was between Jackso . v and Adam ' s alone ; and Jacksox was elected by two to one , and in 1 S 29 , was inaugurated , in a happy hoar , President of the United States of America .
" _Aow came his struggle with the monster of corruption , the bank and its villanous directors , of whom one _Biddle was the chief . He denounced the bank and its briberies in a message to Congress . In Congress thc Whigs still had a majority . Tlieir answer was ' a bill , ' which passed both houses , to renew the Bank Charter . Clay brought in that bill , and Webster , supported it . In 1832 , _tllu _Yc-eloction of Jacksox came on ; and in 3832 , to destroy him , i f possible , Clay and his majority gave , him this bill to sign . Tho President threw himself on his country . Hc told them ' hc would cut his right hand off before
he would sign such a bill , as President . ' The farmers and the _working men stood by their President . The infamous bank spent millions in bribery . Ail was in vain . Jackson was re-elected ; and , at thc same time , a Congress , in ' which there was an immense majority of his supporters . He removed the deposits of Government from the clutches of the infamous bank . Its charter expired : its paper-money was annihilated ; and , by the President _jg wise measures , a currency of gold and silver established ,
in thc doing of wliich thc coffers of the Batik of England were so drained , that , in 1 S 39 , she would , had it not been for a loan from the Bank of Prance , have stopped payment . This was thc greatest act of the life of this great man . Yak BuitKx succeeded Will , and his policy is now being curried out by President Polk , who may be styled a nupil of Jackson . It is believed that with General Jackson originated the grand idea of annexing Texas , Oregon , and tlio Californias , to the United States . That idea will inevitably be carried into effect . "
The Commercial Excitement Of 1825,1s3g, ...
THE COMMERCIAL EXCITEMENT OF 1825 , 1 S 3 G , 1 S 15 . We are glad that this subject is exciting considerable attention . It is one of paramount importance ; and the more it is discussed , and the more that correct notions of the causes of the periodical " flushes " of" prosperity , " and their bitter after-consequences , arc acquired by the trading and operative classes , the better able will all _parties be to meet the next reverse when it comes . As might be expected , there are different notions afioat as to thc extent of thc " reaction " that all seem
certain is coming , though but few are preparing , to meet it . That it ivill come , none seem to doubt . They seem to have made up their minds on that point : they only disagree as to tiie time and extent of the " panic . " In relation to one view of the subject—tliat taken by those who believe that the next " p anic " will not be so severe as our former ones—there is an article in the Liverpool Times of Tuesday , which wc shall extract in full , that thc readers of the Star mav pee the best that can be said in opposition to the views wc have , on former _occasions , expressed . His y ra _soniiig is by fas- the strongest on las side ofthe quef . tion that we havo yet ' -e-. n ; -md the "¦ _i-oiiuV'
Inputs are deserving of attention and consideration . After we have given liis reasonings , wc shall endeavour to consider them . He says , then : — Many persons are of opinion that the excitement of the present year will end like the excitements of 1 S _* . _' 5 and of 1836 , in a great convulsion , and judging merely by tha number of new schemes wliich ar * - launched every week , ami tho reckless eagerness with which tlicy are taken up , this seems only too probable . Still the
_eircumstancos ofthe country at the _prasunt time differ so widely from those which cxistud at either of the two periods mentioned above , and that in points of importance , that it is not possible to reason from one to tbe other with any de'rec of confidence . What may be safely inferred from the experience of the past is , that speculations like _thost- _' of 1825 and 1 S 3 C , will end in the same way ; hut tins only applies to a certain class of share jobbing , ami certainly not to the commerce and staple manufactures ot the countrv , or the condition of trade generally , at the
present time _. The chief points of difference between the condition of this country now and in the years _lS'iu and 1836 are the following : — First , we have now a sound currency and a sate banking system ; then wc had neither . During the excitement of lS _* _-3 , the whole eountry was deluged with one-pound notes , issued by private banks so miserably feeble that nearly a luuulred of them suspended payment when called upon to fullil their engagements ; aud though there were no one-pound notes iu 1856 , yet the joint-stock banks were then to tt great extent under the management of rash , confident , and inexperienced men , bent above all things
on doing a large business , and willing to take any risks for that end . It was at this time that the Northern and Central Bank fell , and that the ruin of other banks equally ill managed ivas prepared . The events of that disastrous period have never since been forgotten by . the banking interest , which is at present in as sound a state as it has evoi heen at any uayiou of our national or commercial history . This appears to us to be ' the grand distinction between the commercial activity of the present and of the preceding ' tinuv . Tliey were preceded and occasioned by great monetary excitement and derangement , whilst the present excitement has sprung up under a sound cm-rency anu as prudent a system of banking as the country has ever known .
Another great difference between the excitement of the present time and of the two periods which " we have mentioned is , that now the raw materials of manufactures are * clieap , whilst tlien tliey were extravagantly dear . The speculation of 1825 was chiefly in cotton , and other prime materials , and that of 1 S 38 was so likewise , though not to the same extent , whilst this year cotton tit least is cheaper than it was ever known to be , and all " raw materials at a moderate price . So little is the public disposed to encourage speculation of this kind , that we have seen within the last few months , a rise in tho price of iron suddenly ' checked , even in the midst of thc railway fever ,
and the price of that great material of railway construction again brought within very moderate limits . As a general rule , this is the casa with all raw materials at the presant time , and this is not only a great contrast with the state of things which existtd in 1825 and 183 C , but is also a great security against the manufacturers of staple articles heing left with heavy depreciated stocks on their hands . As far , indeed , as it is possible to judge , there are scarcely any stocks of the principal manufactuves to ba depreciated / , fov , vapid as production has been for some time , it has done nothing more than keep pace with consumption . This is another point in which the _prest-nt excitement differs from tho excitements of former
ycaif . Another point of difference is the increase in the number of oar foreign markets . The foreign trade of the country is no longer confined to the VuiteO States ( always a _tluctuiitiiig , though often n valuuhlu marliet ) and to two or three markets more , but extends to every country on the face oftho earth , and runs in too many and too independent channels to be in danger of any general stoppage . The tradj ot" China may be said to have sprung up from a mere nothing since 1 S 36 , and that with India , Australia , the Cape , Turkey , Greece , Egypt , and ninny other countries , has wonderfully increased . It would be diflicultto point out a country which has not either direct-or indirect commercial relations with England , ' and the universal diffusion of English commerce is the best security that the country could bave against those violent shocks to which it ivas subject when the foreign commerce of the country was couiineil to some half dozen countries .
The great danger ofthe present excitement arises from the immense number of new schemes , ' chiefly railway schemes , which are now before the public , ami of which there seems to be absolutely uo end , the production ot them being still ns rapid as ever . Ko oiio cau doubt that , sooner or later , there will be a great crash amongst these projects , in which numbers of persons who now tiatter themselves that they will be ablo to sell out , with a profit , from the various projects with which they are now so
rashly connecting themselves , will find themselves grievously mistaken . Still this railway excitement is far from being an unmixed evil , for it wiil be the means of establishing railway communication in many parts ofthe empire ( Ireland especially ) where it might not otherwise have been introduced for many years . Whether the members of many of these railways will obtain a decent dividend is quite another aft . iir ; but that is a matter about ivhieh those who take care of their own money have no great reason to trouble themselves .
Our contemporary contends that there are several essential points of difference in the _present condition of the countiy and tliat of the years 182-5 and 1 S 36 ; and that these differences will operate to prevent thc ' reverse "—sure to come sooner or later—from being so severe as those of the two respective periods named . These points of difference ate three : —" a sound currency and safe banking system ; " " cheapness of tlic raw materials of manufactures ¦ " aud " thc increased number of our foreign markets . " First , as to the currency and banking system . His assertion that we have a " souxxd" currency , and " safe" banking system will " sound" very strangely ill the ears of those who know that some £ 30 , 000 , 000 of mere " 2 _> romiscs-to- }) ay" are circulating as money depending on tlic " absence of suspicion" only for their existence * . liable at any hour to a demand for
" conversion mto gold , " whieh demand , if made , would blow the whole system of " sound" currency and " safe" banking to the devil ' . —very " sound *' and " safe" that system which depends entirely on confidence— -liable at any moment to be shocked and upset ! But if oiu * _"conteiuporary uses the terms in a _x-elative and not in an absolute sense , wc freely accord him so much . Compared with 1 S 25 , the currency is " 801111 ( 1 , " and the Banking system ' "safe . " At that period , there wcre £ > ll , 0 i 9 , _205 " _Pi-omi . tes-to-pay" in circulation : and , worst of all , £ 27 , 000 , 000 of that amount was j _»* _o-Kicied btj Im / rom att demand o / j ) OHincnt . ' As far , therefore , as the difference between thc amount of DEBT- ' _-MoxEi- " in 1 S 2 / _5 , and thc amount of the same species of " money" in 1 S 13 goes—being the difference between £ -11 , 000 , 000 aud £ _"J 0 , O 0 O , 00 O ; and , as far as there is a difference between thc iisucrs of
this " fictitious money being protected by law from thc payment of the sums they have " promised , " and tho being liable to be made to pay as far us they are able : as far as these things go , the present currency and banking system aro " sound" and " safe " compared with those of 1825 . But compared with 18 _" 3 C , tho * ¦ difference" is not so groat , and conse'• _ueiiily not so essential . At that period tlic nmuuiil of " _ri-omises-io-pay" in circulation was £ 20 , 152 , 000 now it is £ 30 _, 0 _ul , S ! Jo . So there is little advantage TUKiti *! On the contrary , the amount is against our present condition . And then , as to the " prudenca " of thc Bankers , ns compared with their " rashness " and " inexperience" in _lS'JG , we really fear that our
_I'Oiitcmimrai'y has " reckoned without his host . " Has ho looked over " THE LIST" of those who havo " subscribed" £ 2 , 000 and upwards to Railway schemes ? Has ho seen Bankkrs there , " down , _"x-esponsiblc , —for tlieir three _guartex's of a million each ? Does he call that " prudent ? " Docs not tin ' s look like as if tliey wcre " bent , above all things , on doing a large'business , and willing to take any ris ' s for that end" ? Besides , is it not notorious that" discounting is easy "—and " money plentiful ? " Is not the " age of speculation" . invariably the " age of advaxxecs ? " "Will thc Bankers , who have tho means
in their own hands of making " promises-to-pay " " as goodjns money , " neglect their harvest ? Are they tohave no " share" in the GENERAL PROSPERITY ? Have they had nothing to do with tho millbuilding , the machine-making , and the immense mamifiictu ' i'ing- of cotton , woollen , and linen yarns and fabrics lately going on ? Ilavs they had nothing to do with the dealers in . "shaves ] " Have not heavy " advances" in aid of each and all of tliese modes of money-making been made ? It would be contrary to nature that this should not be the case . It will , we know , require the reverse to make it all manifest . " At present matters go
As merry as a marriage b . ll , " and the " rashne-, 3 , " " inexperience , " and illmanagement" are well covered up . Let the " panic " but once overtake us , and we shall soon find out tow the diifcwnco between £ 2 G , G 30 . _2-U , _ the amount of the notes of thc Ba nk of Ex _^ hM aud ot r bunks ut issue in Enohiml and Wales , hi circulation ' in l _** iiO , _ auil £ 30 _, 0 Gi .

c * ..... then , we doubt not , bave som e exposures of " prudence" and " good management . " Meantime let us content ourselves with the Mowing . It is pretty significant of its kind . We have not had far to fetch it either . The article in the Liverpool Times appeared on Tuesday : on Wednesday , tke very day after , the Court of Bankruptcy , in Basinghall-street , was occupied with the following instance of " prudence : "TUE BOMFOKD _UANK . _—JOnXSON AND _COMPAJIV ' _S
BANKKUrTCt * . The bankrupt appeared before the Court on application for his certificate . He was supported by Mr . Cooke , the barrister , and opposed bj "Mr . Wilkinson , for tho _assigiiuM-s . Mr . Lawrence ' attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of several creditors . The business commenced hy the . official assignee ( Mr . Follett ) reading the subjoined report on the condition and affairs of tiie bankruptcy : — The balance sheet of the Itomford bank , as fil . d by Thomas Johnson , sen ., presents the following facts : — That 'Mr . Thomas Johnson _aduuts having withdrawn from the bank , in thirteen year- * , the following sums ,
viz : — In bills ... ... £ 13 , 830 Money 1-2 , 735 Total ... £ 20 , 115 Thatthe bank was carried on the whole period of its existence ( eighteen year- ;) not only without profit but at a loss : — The expenses _betitg stated at ... £ 16 , 707 Profits ... 11 , 511 Showing a loss upon the trading of 5 , ' 2 _* j 6 In addition to bad debts of ... 2 , 75-1
> Total £ S , 010 As quarterly balances were struck during the whole period of eighteen years , it must be assumed that Mr , Johnson was aware of the position ofthe bank affairs . Tha balance sheet of Thomas Johnson ' s private estate _. The private bahint-e-shcct of Thomas Johnson admits thc receipt in thirteen years of—The previously named ... ... £ 26 , 115 lleceipt from the Aldgate concern ... 1 S _. 709 Profit , rents ... ... 5 , 9 _^ 3
- ££ 30 , 801 whicli is accounted for by Loss on white lead concern £ S , C 69 | ¦ I uteres " , and discount ... 19 , 714 V £ 4 C _, GS 9 Personal and domestic expenses 18 , 306 further proving that the bills and monies withdrawn from the Romford bank werc applied to purposes distinct from that concern . It is almost unnecessary to say , that the certificate of the bankrupt was refused . Had it been otherwise , it would have boon a most scandalous shame . The commissioner , in liis judgment onthe case , observed , that the bankrupt : —
\ V as a bunker carrying on business , aud who , nowfailing , was found for years to have been miserably insolvent . A ' banker was supposed to be above the ordinary _grado of men ; he was looked upon as a man who possessed standing , not only in respect to wealth , but also with regard to intellect and strict business habits . Hut had Alderman Johnson in the present case showed those ( _jualitics , or had the course of his- business proved him to have _bei-n tho man fit for this branch of trade 1 Quite the contrary ; for without hc had shut his eyes , without he had been willfully blind to the state of his affairs , he must have known from the qunrtirly balance taken that the bank wns a losingafi _' air from year to year , witliout profit in ono
single instance . Nothing that could be urged would in his ( thc _Commissioners ) opinion palliate the eonduut of the bankrupt . While in a state of hopeless insolvency ho had received the monies of his customers , and instead of rendering them iu due payment had applied them to his own speculations and uses . After much consideration , it Iras liis opinion that the failure of . -the bankrupt , in this case , could not be regarded as tliu _' _rosult of misfortune , or of circumstances over which be had no control , but rather as arising from years of misconduct as a trader in a branch of business which of till others required the greatest care and vigilance ; and , therefore , the judgment uf thc court was that tlic certificate must be refused .
That little specimen of the " prudence" of our bankers , and of the " soundness" of the banking system , will surely suffice for the present . Whether it was much-exceeded by the " management" of the Northern and Central Bank wc do not take on ourselves to determine : but we know that it docs not make much forthe first " point" of essential difference between present and former limes that our _cotitempsrary seeks to establish . The amount of Paixer" money" in circulation now as compared with 1 S 3 G is decidedly against his views , when judged by his own rules : and wc think ire are fairly entitled to say that on his first" point" lie has failed in shewing tho " difference" he contends for . Ifthe •' difference "
not there , or if it be not so great as lie would represent , the inference ho has attempted to draw from it is baseless also . The second " point" relied on by the Liverpool Times , as holding out hope that the next reverse will not affect trade and commerce so severely as those of 1 S 25 aiid 1 S 3 G , is , the present comparative cheapness of raw materials of manufactures . But is it true that they are " cheap ? " Nominally , thoy may be so : but to ascertain whether they are really so , it will require that wc take more things into account than the respective prices of tiie respective periods . In _lffio , the amount of " notes in circulation" ivas
£ 41 , 000 , 000 ; in 13-1-5 , it was £ 30 , 000 , 000 . This of itself , would cause a vast difference in nomiua jriccs . The question is , are present prices of raw materials " cheaper , " in reference to the amount of " money _. "tium they were in 1325 and 1830 . But there is even another element to be yet taken into the calculation . What relation does the prices of raw materials bear to _thepiiees of tkt _ixutnufaetured articles at the respective periods ? Arc present prices " cheap" when so tested ? In 1525 the official value of British manu factures exported was £ -lG , _* _108 . 2 S 2 ; thc real value _£ 33 _, 083 , _* 773 . In 1 S 36 thc official value of the ex ports was £ 85 , 239 , 807 : thc real value £ 53 , 308 ,-572 In 1314 thc official value of the exports was
£ 131 , 504 , 503 : the real value £ 58 , 581 , 202 . The iaw materials , therefore , ia ' 1845 had need be " cheap , " if thoy are to bear any proportion to the immense depreciation in price of manufactured articles I Look at the difference \ In 1 _S-14 three times the quantity brings but onc-and-two-thirds thc price of 1 S 25 ! If the price of raw materials in 1 _S-15 wcre anything nearly as "dear" as at thc former period , pray what would our manufactures and commerce be worth ? The fact is , that when thus tested ; when all things are taken into the calculation ; when the question is fairly . examined in all its bearings , the prices of the raw materials at the present time arc xiot hiii—ave not " cheap : " they aro " dear : " and the inference thc Liverpool Times has drawn from his second fact is baseless , for his fact is no fact at all .
Wc now come to thc third " point" of diffevene set forth by our contemporary , between the present and former times : "the increase in the number of our foreign markets . " Hero wc give him , without hesitation , the fait . Our markets / ioi _> e increased . China has been opened to us ; and India , Australia , Turkey , Greece , Egypt , and other places take more of our goods than thoy did . What of that ? Have we not beforetime been quite as unlikely to glut our foreign markets as wc now seem to be ? Has it not
many tunes seemed as if there was to be no end or bar to our progress in the markets ofthe world ? And have we not found ourselves laid prostrate ? Has not ' glut" followed on " high prosperity ?" Have wc a guarantee , that it shall not be so again ? Would a deficient harvest not interfere with the present " roaring trade V Is a deficient harvest an unlikely occurrence ? _1 ! 7 <« . _j will the chances be , should tiiepresent weather continue but a fortnight h _. _xger ? It may not affect China ; but it will affect us at homeaud if ft deficiency of food here causes it to be " dear , " what will" Prosperity" be worth .
Vie readily grant that the best symptom inour condition is the absence of Stocks in tlio hands of the merchants . It is beyond dispute that the consumption or demand for our manufactured goods has been astoundingly immense . It is also true that the demand continues ; that little appearance of " glut " presents itself as yet . StiU that " difference" in condition between these and former tim # s will not save trade and commerce from the shock , when ( lie
" _pa-sic" comes ! Our whoie TilINU hangs together . Touch it in ono part , and you affect it in another . A . good harvest sets the manufacturers to work : a bad ono stops them again . " Ease" in the mor . ey markct makes both branches of industry " prosper _nus " : confusion thtrc- brings aU things to a dead slop . The "CRASH" which all expect ; whieh tlio Liver-¦ _pwl Tinas speaks of as certain , to come sooau * ov later , will play _'Oid-Il'irn _'* on 'ClmheeV and the
.. - _»*» . _jT _* -j » _« r _flirtf ' * _i-inieTi" will innviinKl » U ,. ¦? -... . effects of that " crash" will inevitably be felt ¦ . every manufacturer , agriculturalist , and trader in the land . How can it possibly be otherwise ? " - " - 'j .. LIST" wc gave a selection from last week , sii _en- s that £ 94 , 812 , S 13 have been " subscribed "' for «/ lf , laid before Parliament for sanction ; and the _;/«•„* _, . states that at least £ 00 , 000 , 000 more have been " subscribed" for schemes not yet even mentioned to Parliament ! Can all this take place without tiis . ruptioii to every interest in ; thc state ? Impossible . Nine-tenths of the schemes will fall through , —drop » , ' —of their own account : but all tho " deposits " , -u _„ j all the " prcmiuxns" will bk lost ! _Tnis of it _^ jj _- will cause insolvency without end . Sec some little of the effect in thc foUowing : — -
The Jl . \ r . NSLEX _Junchom Raimvat . —The refusal of the committee to sanction tin ' s railway bus _pioihn-ci ! t | _, utmost consternation . Shares ivere held to a eonMilrra . ble extent in Leeds . One gentleman is s _: \ id to hold l _^" shares , nnd the difference in Ihe juices of _Thursday ail ( . Friday ( on whieh latter day the uufavoiuiiblu * ntollijr fclsce ii _' . ' _-iveil" would make a diil ' crcnce oi no less than is _^ in bis property . This was only thc case with onc " gentleman" in one scheme , in the height of the Railway mania . Let but the " CRASH" conle , and where will thousands of such " gentlemen" be ? And how much better will those be that hold " shares" in schemes that happen to succeed in Parliament ? When the " ealU " arc made , how many of them will be able to obey
them ? Will the _nu-vwitirns of _tiiousaxds set down in "TIIE LIST" be then forthcoming ? Wow * will ikn have to " wish hc may get it ' . " Those that have not the means , but who have now pur chased " shares" at a high premium to get rich all at once by a gamble , will tiikk have to sell . The hurrying of the shares on the market will tumble down thc price . The "decline" will alarm others . Each will be anxious to sell before the price gets lower . j _\ fore and more will they hurry on tothe market ; lower and lower will they tumble , till all the premium is gono and a heavy discount submitted to . Ruin will thus be spread far and wide . The money market will be deranged . Eacli branch of trade and commerce must feel the effects ; and dismay and consternation will be seen on every hand . "
And this is what is before us ! As sure as fate , it is coming . It cannot be avoided . As tho Leeds Mercury well says : — _^ "The present speculation , however ' native , 'is tlic reverse of being ' sound . ' It proves the existence of fever and mania , which must end in a fearful reaction . _JN ' o one can say how innny months the excitement may bo kept up . * but all experience must convince every soberminded man that the speculative fever is dangerously _liijrli , and must do extensive mischief . If we should havo
a . bad harvest , —if the foreign exchanges sliould turn against us , —or if from any cause money should become scarce , the price of rnilwny sliares will go down wilh a vengeance . The defeat of many oftho projects in Parliament will cause extensive loss ; and the calls mailo on those whieh succeed will sadly inconvenience many speculators , and withdraw capital from its ordinary channels , to the pinching of trade anil commerce . At present , whilst speculation is on the advance , all seems very alluring ; but we warn our readers to ' look out for squalls . ' "
Lord Stanley's Irish Land Bill. As Soon ...
LORD STANLEY'S IRISH LAND BILL . As soon as Lord _Stanley ' s Irish Land Bill was submitted to the consideration of the House of Lords , we ventured the following opinion as to thc manner in which an Irish landlord would evade its provisions should it become Jaw : — Lord Stanley dispenses with law as a means of arriving at tbe question of compensation ; but he docs not tlispcnso with the present expensive system , by wliich a landlord of straw is at all times able to break a tenant of steel . Now ,
to deal with a ease precisely such as Lorn Stanley ' s bill proposes to meet , let us sue tbe mode by which an Irish landlord could drive a coach and six through the proposed Act with as much case as liis Lordship says the farmers cau drive a cart on the top of an Irish fence . What more easy in a ease whore a tenant contracts to take a form without offices , with a full share of the proscribed mounds , and requiring drainage , than for the landlord to insert a condition in the lease , setting forth that tbe performance of any of tho three acts protected by laiv shall amount to a forfeiture of tbe lease ?
In confirmation of our opinion wc find thathis Lordship ' s Bill has been withdrawn " ron tub _rnESEisi , " —an ominous Parliamentary period : and wc learn that thc following alteration made by thc select committee , has been thc cause of thc bantling ' s sudden death : — " The bill is not to extend , " ' 1 . To cases in wliich any lease , or contract , or agreement made , OR , TO UE HADE , may contain any matter or condition to a contrarr elVect . _' "
"What a pity that Lord Stanley did not consult r * on Irish practice , before hc ventured upon thc absurdity of checking Irish plunder by English law . If ho had done so hc might have avoided the exhibition of impotency he has just made both of himself and his colleagues , in attempting to deal with a festering and gangrenous social evil . Irish "landlordism " and Irish " tenant-rights" must be regulated in a far _dill _' ercnt manner than Lord Stanley proposed .

The young man submitted tu the imposition on the advice of his lather , being unable , at that time , to get employment elsewhere in iho immediate neighbourhood . It may be possible fur many to listen with on incredulous car to
the recital of such _doings ; but thc variety ot nioues resorted to to filch from the workman his cat _nings it would be impossible to describe , I once hud occasion to so to a mill one Monday morning , and was there before the mill engine was in motiou .

These bud to pass _through the watehhonse , to have their numbers taken , and be lined a penny each , and whilst I stood there not less than sixty passed the same way . It is such acts as these which must ever lead in the end to reductions in wages , and the consequent deterioration in Ihe condition of the _woiking men , if there wcre no
