This moans that the woalth of man- kind 1is abont that much less than it was sup-- posed to bo. Tho people who supposed that they wore possessed of this flctitious wealth have boen living on an extravagant scale which they wmust, abandon, There 'is just ns much nctual property, excopt whore it has besn’destroyed by iro, war, or flood, but the bottom hns fallon out «of the air-ship we Lave been sailing in; and wo ‘must bo content to walk for a whilo instend of flying. The Misaiseippi Schemo in France and tho Boulh 8ea Bubble in England have always beon regarded as the biggest Lalloons and the most astounding collapses that tho world has ovor krown. The actual fall in theso cases was probably not so groat 88 inour time, but tho world was practically smaller thon, and groat falla wndo greater soneations than now. X THE MISSISSITPI SOREME, | Louls XIV., of France, died in 1715, and loft lis peoplo on tho vergo of bankruptay. Tho great and costly wars he had undertaken, and particularly the Inst—that of tho Spanish Suc- ceeeion—had drained the publlo resources al- most dry. Ho liad beon ‘guided in 18 lato yoars by o cold and mawilveB woman (Madame do Maintenon) who had' no sympathy with tho people, The Duke of Orleans assumed the con- 410l of the Government ns Regont, during thio mi- nority of-Louis XV., and added tothe debta of the war an oxtravagunce, of the most. reckloes char. acter, with which the peoplo, following the naw and looso philosophy of the day, readily foll in. Tno national dobt was 8,000,000,000 livres, tho revonue about 145,000,000, and the Government exponsces nesrly ns much, mumgxllmo or nothing 1o pay the intorost on {ho public debt. At one time, the proposition was scriously entertained to declaro a uational bnnkrurtcy and general re- pudiation. A mensure equally dishonost was ro- eorted to. A rocoignage was erdered, by which the coin of tho reslm was debnsed one-fitth, whereby the Treasury gained 72,000,000 livros, Then & system of 'oppressivo ' taxation was adopted, whioh rosulted in tho prosecution by the Government of thoe tax-gatherors and . in- formors, in order to apponsoc the people whom thep hiad persecntod. - Corruption reignod on all sides, Tho Regent was too fond of his oase, 80 coty too immoral, official circles too corrupt, and the peaplo too extravagaut to admit of any *hon- gt and enrnest eftort to restore tho public cradit, “'ho financial confusion bocame hopeloss. It was at this time that Jobu Law camo upon the sceno, 1ile Lind been a companion of the Duke of - Of- leans in his digsipation, boforo tho Iater as- +umed tho Regéncy.

Ho had, in bis own country, dovoloped n scheme for a Iand Bank (alao called & Band Bank), which was to furnish the cur- rency for tho csuntry on tho secarity of tho land, and which Vflrfly nearly seoured the aporoval of Parlismont, He oame to the Rogent 2t time when the lattor was ready to adopt any meaus that promised relief, and _convinced him | that o motallic currency was altogother inade-+ nnto to tho need of & commercial country. <ho remult Wwas a Royal ediot cstablishing the buok of Law & Co., with & capital of §,000,000 “uatwe, divided int 13,000 shaves of 50D livres €ich, The notes of the bank wera made ro- «<elvable in payment of taxes,—in othor words, dcgal-tender. They wore mado payablo on sight wm tho coln current at the timo they wore issucd. As the Governmont wsa conetantly tamporin; Wwith tho coin, which might be worth one-fift} o8 to-morrow than to-day, Law's notes com- ynanded a premium, Horo was & preoodent for l\olrdinq‘ worthless paper-monoy. ~ Branches of tho bauk were started atonceinall tho largs <itios of Frauce. Law’s management was good, and ho gained the implicit confidouce of the peos plo. Hia success was now so 1nmt thnt he con- ceived & grandor project, that of monopolizing tho trado of the Missiseippi and tho Provincs of Louisiana. The llagnnt granted an exclusive priviloge, and tho Mississippi Oompany was or- ganizod with @ capital of 100,000,000 livren, aivided into 200,000 shares, for which the depro- uisted billels d'Etat were recelved at thoir par value, Up to ihia time, Luw's bauk had never knsuad more than 60,000,000 livres in notes. Now the Regent made it the Royal Bank of ¥rance, gavo it the coutrol of tho reflnage of gold and silver, and tho salo of tobacco, and issued one thousand_miltions in notes. e helioved that [paper-money could be made to suporseds oom altogether. With all this money, overy- thing nent on swimmingly, just as it 'has for ears fu our own country \vidu_uimilnr ourrency. peculation now becamo a_ fromzy wil the people of France, and Law was the Joad-devil of the pandemd@ium that was pro- duced, The Parliament resisted, but the Re- gont overawed that body by the arrest and fm- rtluunmenfi of the President and some of the eadora, Bnuuln was furthor debased, and more ourrency thrown out. ~In the meantimo, the shares {o tho Miuulnu:p.l Company became more popular than gold and wilver. ~ 'L'o the privileges whioh it alroady possossed was ndded the mo- wopoly of the French trade to the East Indies, China, and the Bouth Bos, The Company croated 50,000 new shares of 500 livres each, and Law promised na Kenrly dividend of 200 {’lvres per share, which, ns the shares were ought with depreciatod billets d'Etal, amounted T'he peoplo now became wild in tholr onthusiasm, Mr. Charles Mackay, u & history of tho acheme, hns described Beonos that ‘seom almost inoredible.

Tho English thought thoy could imitate Law's earlior succossos, and, by avalding bLis errors, . avort. tho .disastor fuat . followad thom, Tho Bouth Sea Cnm(‘mny wag' founded by Ifarley, Earl of Oxford, in 1711, for the purpodo of car- rying tha flontlng deht, which then amounted to about £10,000,000 sterling. chonts was . organized for this purposs, undor tho npamo that hns now be- como historio, and the Government ngreed to acouro thom tho Intorest (about £600,000 por annum), and to this end gave them a monopoly of trade to tho Bouth-Seas, besides imposing pormanent dutics on various artioles, It was thought that, by this moans, publia confidenco, which had béen badly shakon, would be fully re- stored, It was confidently expeoted that a tronty could be made with Bpain which would opon a rich trade with Moxico, Poru, and Chili, Tho privilego was not secured. In 1817, the King rec- ommended a reduction of the gnbllu debt, and the Bank of Eugland and tho Bonth Soa Com- {muy both eubmitted proposals. Tho onpital or ho former was now increased to £12,000,000. Thoir stock was in great demand, and the Dirac- tors dreamt of furthor successos, Thoy thon proposed to Parliament their famous plan for Enymg off the national debt, ,which was found to o nerrly £81,000,000 storling, ‘Tho Company proposed to assume this debt upon a consid- oration of 5 per oont por snpum for four years, - Aftor which ~ the debt was radoemnble at the pleasurs of tho Governmont, and should draw intorest at only 4 per cout per annum. Tho atock of tho Company, which was worth 180 at tho time of this proposal, rapidly roso to 800 during the consideration of tho mat- tor bg Parlisment, and as it became ovidont that tho proposal would be accepted. Sir Roboert Walpolo was about tho only man who foresaw the Iniquity of tho scliome, and ho warned the poople, in a norion of eloquent spoachos, that it was an artificlal means for inducing the poople to part with thoir earnings for a prospect of imaginary wenlth, and that dividends twera promised out of fanda that could nover bo adequate for the purposo. IHis warnings wore uuhoadog. The proposal was accepted by the Houte of Commons, and rapidly rushed through tho House of Lords. Tho ]pmjnct of a treaty with Bpain was revived, and sllver fiom' Mexico and Poru was promised without stint, Every hundrod pounda invested in the Company's stook was to bring hundreds of pounds per annum to the holder.” Firat a subecription’ for an additional million was offered, and thora were bids for 42,000,000 of stock at the rate of .£300 for avery £100 shave. . In o fow duys the stock advanced to 840 per cont, - To ralgo it -still higher tho Direotors declared a dividend of 10 per cent for the mideummer, and made overy subscription entitled to it. They then opened -thoir books “for ' second mubscription -of .£1,000,000' at. 400 por cent, nd Iu a fow hours £1,500,000 of stock ad been subscribed for at this rata by the in- fatuated peoplo. Krom this timo on until tho Erent bubble burst, the stock rose and fell all ho way from 800 to over 1,000 per cent. | The manis for spooulation, excited by the rise and fall of Bouth Sen shares, took & stronger hold, if posslblo, upon the English poople than it had upon their more volatilo neighbors acrosa the ohounol. Exchango Alley was moro orowded than thé Rue do Quincampaix. Pooplo of high station, and_low * wore alike drawn into tho vortex. . Mackay tells us that the men thronged the tavorns and coffoe-houses to moeb their brokors, whilo the ladles resorted to A company of mor- “the shops of the millinera for the samo purpose. All gorts of schemes were started and stock- .companie credted to satisfy the grood of the people.« Many of ‘thess projects appear utterly ridioulous at this distanco, but none were so tnnl‘sllront at that time that the infatuated grmblers could ses thrnuqh them.

Tho bank opened its books for o subsoription of £8,000,000 of these honds at tho usual ratea of of 16 per cont deposit, 8 per cent premium, and 5 per cont interest, The crowd came with their money in the mornlny, ond if, was thought tho collapso hnd again heon postponad; but, before noon, tho tide turned, and the Bouth Soa Company's stook continued to fall in apite of every effort to arrest it.: Then tho prinaipal financlal agonts of the Company were forcod to close thoir doors, ‘Lhls wan tho signal for & genoral stampede., Bankers, brokors, and goldsmiths shut up their shops and fled, A run was made on the Bank of Eungland, and it was forced to pay out money faster {n the nfternoon — than 1t hag taken ft iu during tho morning, South Boa mtook wont down to 185 when it had rulod as bigh a8 1,000, and tho bottom foll out of this hugo schenio after clght mouths of wun- puralloted popularity, The King (Georgo I.), who was on a visit to Hauover, way hastily re- called, Public moetings were held, in.which Parliament was called upon to punish the mon who biad lurod te.gearie.

Thore has been a rovival of tho movemont of hogs, grain, and other products from the country. Monoy is coming out of its hiding-places and confidenco in the value of commodities is being rostored. - Money is still held st high rates, but it is be- coming more sbundant, and rates of interest ‘must soon doclino, I This favorable chango in the whole financiel aepact ia largoly duo to tho advance in the price ot gold, in othor words the depreciation of greeubacks, ¥ The business of the eight or nine most prom- inent bouks in this city is steadily gotting into & more entisfactory shape, Their _ doposits are incronsing slowly, which enablos the gradual increase of their disconnts.
