Says the Union: ‘-It is this constant interference on the part of men of the clerical profession with the "wep of the government; this constant meddling and mixing themselves up in the reeking and unsecrn- pulous partizan politics of the day; this con- stant exhibition of that worldly, ambitious, and Testless s which is opposed to the peaceful spirit of Heaven, that is gradually, bat surely, undermining th eat temple of religion, weak- ening and breaking down those great moral safe- guards to society. without which society indeed could scarcely ex Its fruits are visible on < Ll sides. The grossest examples of impicty and immorality are pow being iound in the persons of men covered with the yrave robes of the cleri- cal profession. Rapes, seductions and fornica tions by such men, are but the mora! sequences of their political strifes and worjdly tastes, and the natural results of their evil teaching, instead of the teacbing of the Bible." The Intelligencer discusses the subject of Parliamentary reform in England. —_—_——_~o+e-—_____. IF" Col.

Bax Scspextion—Tue Wairiwind vrox Us.—This morning information was telegraphed to this city that all the banks in Baltimore had suspended specie payment, creating © rum upon those in this city, which forced two of them—the Patriotic Bank and Bank of Washington—to suspend for the present the payment of specie except upon motes of the denomination of $5. and checks for small amounts. They feel themselves able to meet every obligation against them, but resort to this as a measure of self-defence. The Bank of Metropolis has, up to the time of going to press, sustained the heavy run upon it without yielding; as has also the Washing- ton Saving’s Bank. The run upon Sweeny, Rittenhouse & Co., has also been promptly met. With regard to the Bank of Washington and the Patriotic Bank no fears are entertained of ultimate loss to any one through their suspen~ sion as they are known to be abundantly able to liquidate every demand against them. Be or Goop Caren.—There is truth in the following reflections on the business condition of the country, for which we are indebted to the New York Evening Post. Though speeu- lation may cramp New York city and the far West for a year to come, the general condition of business people North, Eest and South is sound; more especially in the South. There, people of all classes owe less and work harder than ever before. But for the business system of the country, which compels the South to pay a tribute on all things to the North, the current monetary troubles in the non-slaveholding States would be unfelt everywhere south of Mason and Dixon’s line. As it is, it affects no one in the South not tied up in speculations in the Northwest. The fact that such troubles, trials, difficulties and embarrassments have taken plaze at the North with so slight effect on the South should be sufficient to make it plain to politician of the Evening Post school that their stereotyped stories concerning the com- parative industrial condition of the South are roorbacks, and nothing else. We are, however, glad to have it in our power to lay before the Srar’s readers the following facts from the paper mentioned above, showing that the present pressure in the North is likely to be but ephemeral : ‘In 1837, we were importing from Europe large quantities of grain to supply our necessities, in addition to our usual importations of mercban- dise. We bad experienced a loss of over twenty millions of dollars by the most disastrous fire this country ever experienced. The winter of is2} was one of the very coldest ever known in this climate, and was followed by a backward ring, a short summer and a general failure of the crops. Added to this, the country was pos- sessed with an insane passion for speculations in wild and unpreductive lands With nothing to pay with, without crops to live upon, with wealth all invested in lands of no current valae, with destructive fires and inclement skies, began the revulsion which over-trading and mad specula- tion rapidly tipened into general bankrupt * But how ditterent is our present coad There has been. without question, much ov trading, much bad management and extrava- gance d yet the recent report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows that we have exported, in- elusive of specie, during the tiseal year ending ist July Jast,some millions more than we have impoited. The c:opsof the country ave the largest ever known; almost every section of our land re- ports bounteous harvests, and there is every pros- pect of a good foreign demand, at fair prices, for all the grain and flour we can supply... Through the troubles in India, and the general increasing foreign demand, our pork and beef, which have become important articles of export, will com- mand probably double their average-valae, and we shall havea greatly increased supply. The prospects for a fuliy fair crop of cotton are prom- ising, and prices are nearly or quite double those of average years. Throuzhont the length and breadth of the land there is an unusual prospect of late fall pasture, avd roots for the sustenance of cattle, which is a matter of more importance than is generolly considered. California is sending us regularly tnore than forty millions of gold per annum, @ considerable portion of which remains in cireulation in the interior of our ccuntry. Em- igration to our shores of a more thrifty class of people is steadily onward, and through the money they bring, together with their industrious hab- its, our Western States are reaping « rich harvest. ‘These are facts plain to every observer, and pre- sent a state of things as different from what pre- vailed here in 1487 as it is easy to conceive occur- ing in w ‘ountry in so short a period as twenty years. We are all # great deal wiser for what has occurred. Several enormous bubbles have been exploded; credit will hereafter rest on a sounder and therefore more protitable basis, and, unless something happens not lying within the range of probabilities, our next New Year’s Day will be one of the happiest and most prosperous that has ever dawned upon this country.” Comrgssation or Consuts.—The Attorney General has given an opinion relative to the pay of consuls, in which, after reviewing the various acts of Congress regulating such pay, he decides that the compensation of consuls is to be regulated by the law which was in force when the services were rendered and not by that which prevailed at the date of the com- mission. A doubt has arisen about the construction of the last clause in the 8th section of the act of 1856 A consul shall not be allowed compensation for the time cceupied in coming home “‘if he shall have resigned, or been recalled therefrom Sor any malfeasance of his office.” The Attorney General decides that the word® underscored qualify the word “resigned”? as well as ‘‘recalled.”’ Under the rule laid down in the opinion of the Attorney General, the claim of Mr. McCrea. late consul at Paris, and Mr. Murphy, do., at Shanghae for time spent in returning home is allowed, as their return home was long after the act of 1556 went into effect, and their resig- nations were not for malfeasance in office. The claim of Mr. Epping, Consul at Olden- burg, for salary while waiting instructions and gving out is disallowed, as is that of Mr. Blythe, Consul General for Cuba; of Mr. Andrews. late Consul General for the British American Provinces; and of Mr. Huffnagle, Consul Gen- eral to British India, as the time at which the services were performed does not bring them within the provisions of the acts allowing such pay. WALKER'Ss PROPOSED new raid on Nicaragua is eleciting appropriate comments from the press in all directions. Y sterduy, the Va- tional Intelligencer explained with great force, indeed, the utter impossibility of bis success. Of this expedition the Courter and Enquirer says, with convineing truth : ‘: There can be no mistake about the purposes of Walker. fe makes no concealment of them. From the time he re-landed upon our shores he has not ceased to proclaim his resolution to return to Nicara; and make conquest of the country. He does not pretend that the ple of that re- public y respectable portion of the people, are de Gisretarn. He is without the apology that served Lim so well at his first exnedition, that he responded to the call of a powercal inter- nal party who were strucgling for the mainten- ance of democratic principles. There is nobody that invites him Tow. ‘There is none so pour ax to do him favor. He is an object of universal hatred. He knows it, and the:efove has ceaxed altogether from all attempts at Pplaving the part of a champion of any party in Nicaragua. He now throws off all diszuisé and shows himself the bandit to all the world. Spoliation is ix avowed business, and the energy with which he sets about it isevery whit equal to the audacity with which he proelaims it. He has atready se- cared his money and organised his men, and everything is well nigh ready for the final deci- sive work.”? . Is raz Law a Goop Oxe?—It is said by an exchange paper that the only two steam ships that succumbed to the late terrible gale on the Atlantic, had both had their names changed under the provisions of the recent law author- izing the Trearury Department to consent there- to if satisfied of the propriety of the ehange, &e. We doubt whether anght but unseawor- thiness in a ship will once in a hundred times induce such an application to the Department, which cannot know the particular existing rea- eon why the upplication should berejected. The liaw we believe to be an unfortunate one; and we regard the fact that the Central America— previously the George Law, and the Norfolk, f tmerly the Penobscot, were the only steamers that were lost in the gale mentioned above, out of the host that were about the locality whereat the lgte storm raged go violently, as embracing prima facia evidence of the propriety of the speedy repeal of the improper statute. Tye Reriy 16 tHe Presipent.—The Con- | hecticut clergymen who recently met so over- whelming a defeat at the hands of the President have responded to his crushing reply in a doc- ument that reminds us of a village debating so- | _ ciety argument—taking for granted as proven every substantial point in dispute! In that way itis very easy to make black white—or even to prove the propriety of clerical interfer ence in politics. Tux Nava. Covrts.—In Court No.1, the case of Lt. Turner was still under investigation to-day. Ex-Passed Midshipman March and Dr. McMarin were examined on the part of Lt. T. Before Court No. 2, the case of Lt. Bissell is continued. Commanders Lynch and Hunter were examined to-day on the part of Govern- ment. Court No. 3 was reorganized in the case of Lieut. Riell. Busixess.—The Fall season’s business of Washington is commencing, as may be per- ceived from the city’s business thermometer— the Svar’s advertising columus. The trades- men of Washington will rejoice over the fact, we know; for their season of dullness has been a long and peculiarly trying one, owing to the prevalent want of confidence in money matters abroad, which for some time also seriously af- tceted the public mind here. Kaxsis Trust Laxps.—The Indian Office has passed over to the Land Office all the data in its possession in view to patents being issued to purchasers of Trust Lands in Kansas. Music to Br Discoxtixuzp.—We are re- quested to state that the performance of the Marine Band at the Capitol and President's grounds, will cease after this evening, for the season. Promorep,—James K. P. Campbell, of Ten nessee, has been promoted toa third classclerk- ship (1,600) in the Post Office Department, to take effect Ist inst , vice Joseph W. Merriam, resigned. Tur Navat Court Mantrau.—The Court Martial for the trial of Lieut. Lyne yesterday examined Commodore Stringham, the last wit- ness to be called for the Government in the case. : eee The Journey to Adams, Mass. Correspondence of The Star. Soutm Apams, Sept. 23, 1557. When my last letter closed, our party were en- joying a hearty laugh over the smiling qualifica- Hons of the maid of Pauling Station, by whom so many of those ulony had been ficeced of shillings and sixpences. Having resumed our pleasant pastime of the morning, we were again in Tap- tures at the scene before us. On reac hing Boston Corners, | was reminded that the State of New York held jurisdiction there ‘This place. many of your readers will recollect, is where a notorious prize fight, between two world-renowned row- dies, came off some years ago, and as having bee: afterwards the rendezvous of shoulder-strikers nd others, who hoped to evade the law. It ap- pears that this tract of land lies at the base of an abrupt rocky hill, and, to get omthe level ground where the Corners js situated, the police officers of Massachusetts were compelled to cross a strip of New York State land, so that when an offender was arrested hecould not be taken away for trial Massachusetts seeing the difficulty, obviated it by ceding the land to New York, under whose jurisdiction it now is. Since then the rendezvous a3 been broken up THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. At Boston Corners, we had the first view of these mountains looming up in the distance, pre senting agrand and imposing scene. The val- leys and hills intervening, reusinded some of our party of the beautiful scene dietown Valley, ia Maryland. The train vras again in motion, and we reached in quick suceession five other villages before beeing Hane Chatham Four Corners in schedule time, 345. Here we had two hours or more at our disposal, during which time we sanntered around the place examining the objects of inter- est. This is but a small place, owing its im- tance Saaly its. being the crossing of the darlam river, Western, and Hudson river rail- roads. Great preparations are being made he for the approaching Je Show of Col ia county, which takes place on Thursday next. Booths are being erected, bar-rooms enlarged and put in order, plainly evidencing that people hereabouts are not temperance men_ Whilst laying over here, news reached us that & railroad collision occurred betwesn the trains on the Harlem and Hudson roads, about three miles below, where they ran near to cach other. From a lady pussenger, [learn that the trains were apprvaching each other from opposite direc- tions, wnen the engineer on the farlem road blew the alarm whistle, a cow being discover onthe track. The breaks were applied ; watts uO purpose. On went the dashing train, over- taking the cow and running over her, this throw- ing a portion of the train off the track On came the Hodson tiain, running into the Harlem train, thus considerably smashing up engine, baggage car, &c ; but seriously injuring no one. The passengers were transported to Chatham in time to connect with the up-going Boston train. ON THE BOSTON ROAD, we left Chatham at606 p.m. ‘The traveling is great, but every officer on the road exercises un- common care in seeing to the comfort and safety of the passengers. We passed Shaker Village, Richmond, State Line, naan and Kast Chat- ham in quick succession—the schedule time on this rs requiring greater speed than on the Har- lem road. e reached Pittsfield et 7.20, where we changed cars for the North Adams railroad. Feom the darkness of the night, I was unable to get a view of Pittsfield, but learn that it is a Place of considerable importance. We reached Soath Adams on this road at 6 20, where we de- signed to inake a ston, and were taken in charge by a friend, of the Oid Bay State, (Daniel Upton, Esq .) under whose protecting wing we now are He condueted our party to his handsome resi- round about Mid- dence, a little ont of the town, where the family were assiduous in their attentions to us. Having snpped, and being considerably jaded, we re- tired for the night, and soen were in the land of s. None of the party were up at an earl in the morning, owing to the fatigue of the ious day. Nine o'clock, however, found us ail at the breakfast table, where ample justice wits done to the excellent fare farnisls ed us by our friend and host, THE GREEN MOUNTAINS. Rambling through the grounds of our friend, we reached the ton of a hill from where we had a “plendid view. Facing north, we bad upon our left the Saddle Ball or Grey Lock Mountain, ris- ing up 2.9 feet above the level of the sea, the cip of which. throughout theday, was envelo; ina heavy cloud hovering over and around it On the right was the rang® of Green Mountains extending Way up north as far as the eye could reach, with a beautiful valley below, through which the Hoosick river passes. South of onr ition we have North and South Adams vil- es, containing together near 7,000 inhabitants. ‘There are a number of manufacturing establish- ments here, making up woollen and cotton goods &c., and paper, employing @ large number of op- erators, These places are well provided with churches, Methodist, Congregationalist, Baptist and Universalist, so that the inhabitants are never without the Word from the sacred desk. THE RECHABITES. [ learn, to-day, that the High Tent of the In- dependent order of Rechabites, (a temperance or- ganization which has accomplished much good in reclaiming fallen man in this and other sec- tions.) having jorisdiction over the United States and the Canadas, is In session in South Adams. The attendance does not appear to be large. The reports from the bodies under their jurisdiction I hear, show the order to be in tolerable condi- tion; not such, however, a8 the most ardent tem- perance man could desire.
