, e ‘Tux Financia Crisis.—Since the passage of the Bankrupt Law, the whole country seems to be going at a harder gallop than ever towards utter discredit, deliberate defalcation, and general repudiation.— In no period since the year 1887, have explosions and frauds followed explosions and frauds in the financial world so rapidly as they have during the last year, particularly since that law came into operation. Whether the operation of this law has precipitated these lamentable events, seems doubt- ful and uncertain. Some think it has—some think it has not. In another columa will be found two letters, one from Virginia, another from Ohio, representing the state of financial affairs in those several States. In reference to Virginia, we differ with our cor- respondent, respecting the editor of the Richmond Enquirer. We deliberately believe that the banks and the banking system of Virginia, instead of con- ferring a small favor by way of adiscount of $15, 000 on that worthy man, have been the principal cause of cheating him out of $150,000, which are now on his books in the form of back debts, and which would have been in his pocket in the shape of $100,000 of hard cash, but for the effects and ten- dency of the banking and credit system onthe minds of the community. The newspaper press,throughout the country,has been seduced and debauched by the financial classes, and now when the latter save themselves from the wrecks with full pockets, the former are thrown away and kicked out, with as much regard and humanity as a Broadway Cottager would serve a poorgirl they had picked up in the street and abused to their heart’s content. This is the way of the world—but there will be a day of retribution, sooner or later. NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, January 16, 1843. — a Tue Somers Mutiny Case.—The Court of Enqui- ry meets again to-day at the usualhour. When the evidence may be closed, we have no means of knowing, but it cannot possibly be spun out much longer. It must come to an end before the 23d of April. Thus far, the testimony has been most singular and diversified, and the opinions entertained of it, are equally singular and diversified. Among the community in general, Captain McKenzie does not occupy so favorable a position as he did at first. It is acknowledged on all hands, that there is no evi- dence whatever implicating Cromwell in the con- spiracy or mutiny. There may be suspicions—sus- picions arising from his looks, his size, or his large whiskers—but suspicions without words or acts are notevidence. Captain McKenzie and his {nends rely entirely on the necessity of the case for a justi- fication of the executions—but such a terrible ne- cessity must be supported by the strongest facte—the most unquestionable evidence. Could the vessel have been brought to New York, without the execu- tions? On this single point all his defence turna.— Thus far Captain McKenzie, his officers, and many of his crew, agree in opinion that she could no!— but it will be recollected that this is mere opinion, which requires very strong facts to justify to the community. Altogether this singular and awful case is not without the most perplexing difficulties. It is clear- ly inadmissible in organised society, that human life should be taken on mere suspicion as it was during the “reign of terror” in France—without evi- dence—without crime—without the most terrible necessity. If this inexorable principle is invaded on aay pretence, there is an end at once to all law —te all order—to all civilized society. Neithercan itbe admitted that the life of an innocent man should be taken whatever may be the conviction that he means at some future time to do a certain illegal act. This reasoning applies to Cromwell. As to Spen- cer and Small there is more evidence on which to justify their fate—but many doubt the absolute ne- cessity of even their execution, though their arrest may have been proper. At all events, let this aw- ful case be well sifted—let not Captain McKenzie and his officers be condemned without a full investi- gation into every circumstance that can tell in his favor. The Court of Enquiry will probably close their labors in a few days.'’ What their report to the Na- vy Department may be, of course no one can tell— but every body is already surmising. Most opinions concur in believing that Captain mcKenzie’s con- duct will be justified—but that the President, with the advice of the Cabinet, will set this justification aside, and either order a regular Court Martial, or allow the case to go before a jury of the U. States Court, for this district. The importance of the case and the great excitement it has universally created, will probably lead to the adoption of such a course. When such awful reeponsibility is involved asthe very first principles of civilized society—of organ- ised government—of life and liberty—we do no! ‘suppose that the President will proceed a step with out the opinion of his whole Cabinet. In either way, whether a Court Martial or the District Court should take final cognizance of the case, it will be final—but both cannot have jurisdiction of the same offence. This we believe is the law. An Ovurracs.—A driver of one of the Dry Dock Stages perpetrated a gross outrage on an aged citi- zen last Thursday, {by abusing and insulting him most shamefully. We call upon the employer of this driver to dismiss him at once for his brutality. Such a man is unfit to drive a public stage. This driver in the first place demanded more than the regular fare of the old gentleman, who is up- wards of eighty years of age. The demand was very properly resisted. For so doing, the driver heaped abuse upon the venerable head of his passen- ger, refused to let him get out of the stage, ‘and drove him more than a mile out of his way. He then locked him in the omnibus, kept him in con- finement for half an hour, and collected a rabble around to listen to the oaths he lavished upon this aged and respectable citizen, whom he knew to be too old to personally resent the outrage. If so brutal a driver is permitted to hold his situ- ation after this, we trust that the public will ride in some other vehicles than the Dry Dock stages. Such a fellow would insult a female passenger with more pleasure than eat adinner. Brutality, it seems, is actively on the increase in this city. To rue Lapres.—No one but Day could conceive the idea of the new quilted sheet rubber Over Shoes which are of such surpassing beauty and elegance, combined with utility, as to have already created for them an extraordinary demand at the warehouse of the Roxbury India Rubber Co. No. 45 Maiden lane. Cuotce Szcars.—Just call at Henriques, 51 Wil- liam street, and ask him—“ Henriques, my boy, have you any capital segars?’ Then hear what he has to say to such an indictment. “City Intell Tue 1ast Rare Casx.—The particulars of the rape committee on the person of the young and beautiful girl Elizabeth Nevin, neice of James Harty, of Thirteenth street, that took place in a cab en the morning of Sunday, the Sth instant, as published yesterday in the Herald, excited much interest, and the conduct oi the watchmar who allowed the cab driver and the two men who com- mitted the outrage to escape was bitterly commented upon. It is to be hoped that the villains may be arrested and punished with the utmost severity of the law. The watchman has been dismissed, but where is the cab driver? Tux Foncer or 181.—The trial of the German, Mi- chael J. Sallenger, charged with extensive forgeries committed in the fall of 1841, will be commenced this morning in the Court of General Sessions. ‘The Grand Jury of this Court meets to morrow Nor Discuancev.—Andrew Carney, one of the bell- ringers at the City Hell, and Wm. P. Hillyer, one of the city watchmen, who gave such pcculiar testimony on the trial of Dingler, for the rape on Ann Murphy, have not been discharged from corporation employment, as hasbeen previously published. ‘They are still in the full cxercise of their official duties. Common Counci..—Both Boards of Aldermen meet this evening at 6 o'clock. Sunaespen or Cuances Pinace.—This man, who stands indicted for an assault and on the person of the uniortunate girl Ann Murphy, was surrendered yesterday by his bail, and arrested at the Naval Asylum on Staten Iiland, and brought to this city. He was bar tender for Dingler at the Broadway Coitage, on the night of the rape. Recetven Baoxen vr.—That the receiver of stolen goods is as bed if not worse than the thi evident in this city to all who are in any equainted with the police system of this city, and when an otticer effectually breaks up one of these dens and receptacles for the proceeds of rogues, the community owe him their thanks. On Friday leet, officer Hilliker, of the Upper Po- made adescent on’the premiseskept as a grogger and resort of black thieves, burlars, &c., a street, by Robert McBride and Jane his wife. ing the house, a quantity ef stolen silver plate was found, that has since been returned to the owner. Other stolen Is were alse found on the premises, and McBride and is wife were held to bail to answer the charge. A Dauner WatcHman.—A watchman named De Witt, attached to the second district, under Captain Good, was arrested by watchman Clark, of the fifth district, for being intoxicated and riotous. and disorderly conduct in the streetson Sunday night. The particulars having been made known to Captain Good, he was immediately sus. ded from duty, and will be discharged by the Police ommittee. Crutp Bunwgp 10 Dratit.—A colored child named John Bishop Allen, aged about a year, was burned to death yes- lerday at 41 Thompson street, by his clothes having acei- dentally taken fire during the absence of his mother, who had stepped into the adjoining apartment. Children should not be left alone at this season of the y ear. Tue Brokers’ Movement in Watt Srreet.—A correspondent accuses us of injustice to the pro- posed new Board of Brokers, in stating, by way of contrast, that they are, or have been lame ducks— while the old Board are represented as the very pinks of purity. He says that six or seven members of the old Board are taking the benefit of the act— and that a dozen owe differences not yet settled for. If this be so, there is about six of one and half a dozen of the other. What we look upon with an eye of favor is the organization of a new Board to transact their business with open doors. We are informed that this Board will comprise some thirty persons—that they have engaged a room in the Ex- change—and that they ask no further confidence than their honorable acts will warrant. In fact, they rub all the past out—and begin again on a clean slate, with a clear conscience, in clean linen—and a pair of clean white kid gloves. Very well—go ahead on sound principles and clean linen, and fin time you will acquire the confi- dence of the public—the respect of honest men—and asmile from the beautiful belles of the age. You cannot tell how much good luck you may have. Frencu Licut Lirgrature—Srinit or THE AGE. We perceive it stated that one of the cheap publish- ers in Nassau street, has announced that he has in press, and will publish in afew days, one of the extraordinary novels, written by Madame George Sands, (a nom de guerre) who is acknowledged to stand at the head of the modern licentious litera- ture of France, in the present day. We have al- ready perceived that several of Paul de Kock’s works have been published by another house, and that it met with agreat ‘and extraordinary sale. By and by the reading community will be flooded with this new deluge from the literature of Paris. Jor Smita 1x Troveie.—By a letter which we published yesterday from Springfield, illinois, it ap- pears that Joe Smith, the great Mormon Prophet, has at last given himself up to the authorities of Il- linois. He is charged with fomenting or conspiring to assassinate Governor Boggs of Missouri, and is demanded by the functionary of that State of the Governor of Illinois. Joe has taken out a writ of habeas corpus, denying the fact, and is now waiting the decision of the court at Springfield. This will bring Joe’s troubles to a crisis. In the meantime, why does not Joe try his power at werking a miracle or two? Now’s the time to prove his mission—besides being very convenient for himself.

The order, quiet, respectability and decorum introduced by Welch into the theatre have given as much satis faction, as the splendid ;ageants—the superb horses —and the vaulting riders.

Financial Crins in Virginia—Revolution in the Cur- rency—State Credit Speculators. The president of the Bank of Virginia, Dr. Brock- enborough, a man who has given more fine dinners and champagne, and oyster suppers, to members of the Legislature—a man who has afforded more fa- cilities to editors, speculators, and loafers, than any other bank officer in the ancient commonwealth— has been removed from office by the fiat of the stockholders. His liberality to Thomas Ritchie {a green spot in the desert) and Tom Green—his devotion to the fine arts as displayed in the paint- ; ings and statuary which adorn the elegant man- ns of the Richmond noblesse, purchased by the facilities which the bank so liberally supplied, could not shield him from the besom of reform. The tation about the Bankrupt | Enquirer will mourn over the fate of its friend, and refuse to be comtorted because he is not, and caa- not be president of the Bank of Virginia. If this salutary measure had been adopted when the exposé developed the speculations and frauds which the two Greens had carried Dab- have been protected from the frauds and peculations of the last two yeara. The Bank ot Virginia was the principal machine used in robbing and ruining the ead with a perfect rush, like | people of this State. It stimulated speculation, and Involved the ein debt for base and pernicious objects of personal aggrandizement. After getting the Legislature to create State bonds, for the osten- sible purpose of internal improvements, the clique wrote to the country for their friends to repair to Richmond instanter and purchase them, by which they could realize fifty thousand dollars without ex- pending one dollar of capital, except just enough to pay expenses to Richmond and thentoPhiladelphia, the great Mecca of the stockgamblere, where they e party, who would buy the bonds, and dispose of them to some other such innocent third parties as Barings and Morri- sons of London. But being two slow in their move- ments, and before reaching Richmond the bonde were disposed of to some penniless financier, who realized his thousands of dollars by one single ope- Tation of the paper system. By such facilities as this paper system has afford- ed, Shocco Hill has been covered with i FaRAces: Green has made that elegant falling garden, and adorned it with statuary, that seems to vie with the Louvre. The people of Virginia are now to be taxed most oppreanvely for years in order to sus- tain this system and pay for the statuary and extra- vagance of the paper lords of Richmond. Hundreds ! page farmers will be driven from their :homes by the tax-collectors and sheriffs be- fore next January, forthe honor of the State and the perpetuity of that system which has enabled the Greens, t sad oy and others, to revel in the luxuries of Eastern nabobs. The taxes must be in creased 40 per cent this year to pay the interest on the State debt, and the honor of the State and the interest of the stock gamblers sustained, while the children of the ignorant tax-payers are hungry and half clothed. Repudiation or starvation stares the people in the face. The legislators declared they will not repudiate, yet they dread the indignation of the people if they lay a tax sufficient to cover the delinquency of the speculators who controlled the banks and the James River and Kenhaway Company. Mr. Parkes, of Kenhaway, made a speech against repudiation some days ago. He wanted to tax the people for the sole bevefit of others, and he scouted the idea of ever hearing of Virginia’s honor being tarnished by refusing or failing to pay all debts con- tracted in her name. He neyer heard that Virginia has never yet paid her colonial debt; barrels full of her dishonored promises are now in existence, call- ing for ‘ Spanish milled dollars” out of the Trea- 1's sword, engross | sury of the State. North Carolina, Maryland, Penn- sylvania, and Massachusetts, are all in the same sateen? bur of whose repudiation Mr. Parks has enjoyed oblivious bliss to this hour; but bis con- stituents will probably improve his historical lore before they pay another year’s taxes. Thave heard of a single circumstance which so, powerfully illustrates the iniquity and partiality of the paper system, that J will relate it. hen it was ascertained that Ben Green and Dabney had cen- sumed as much of the capital as others had spent in suppers, statuary speculation, and sulphur springs, a letter was written to a brother, who held $150,000 of the stock, to sell out, as the bank was in the blue stage, and must collapse. This friendly hint was not lost, and the stock was sold instanter at 108, 2 This bro- ther has now his capitaf in his pocket, ready to buy in the land and slaves of innocent and deluded neighbors, during the iene pressure, when they will not bring one-third their value. The deprecia- i juced the present year by enor- mous taxes, and the payment of debts contracted by the expansions produced by the same capital a few ears ago, willenable such persons t« double their fortune inone year, and thus profit by the very evil inflicted on theirneighborsandcountry. And this Most iniquitous transfer of pecan from the honest and industrious farmer, to the dishonest and cunning bankers, is openly carried on in a country where our fundamental laws exclude all special privileges. But allthese crimes and outrages on equal rights, are per- petrated under the cloak of Virginia democracy. Maryland is on the fair way to repudiate her debt, as she finds it impossible to collect the taxes. Geo.

L’Occrents. Albany, — (Correspondence of the Herald.) Axsany, Jan. 10, 1843. Mr. Eprror— Having got the ennui in New York, I arose grace- fully in the air, just over the Herald office, and casting my eyes about me, I thought to myself what course shall Ariel now pursue—Albany ?—Ah, yes, that’s the spot at this time— “ There shall t Ariel wing his eagle flight, Rich dew-drops from his plume of light.” So off I started, cutting the air like a flash of light ung. Pomeroy’s and Harnden’s expresses were soon left out of sight, and I overtook the rail care of the Housatonic, that had started a day before me, in three hours, and left them sticking in a snow bank, within about six miles of Woodbridge, as hard and fast as certain of your sixpenny editors will be, when Monsieur Le Diable shall once get his claws fairly onthem. I soon arrived at Albany, and there found—oh, merciful fathers ! what a horde of office seekers. Of course, I put up at the most fashionable hotel ; for one who had ever been used to eat only ambrosial food, and drink nectar from the beautiful chaste hands of Ganvmede, would naturally like the best that could be supplied from a market far from superior. Accordingly. I followed others, and stopped at Congress Hall. I staid there but one day, then went to the Franklin House, kept by my old friend Captain Flower, of the steamboat Diamond, After! selected a nice room, with a par- lo-adjoining, I descended, in the shape of a mortal, to the bar-room—got a good segar, seated myself by the stove, and began making observations. It was, of course, as is the city, filled with office seekers, and afiner, cleverer set of good looking. fellows is not to be found any where than these ‘* bones and sinews” of the demoaracy,, And, judging from the way they make scarce frie Flower's beef and pork, you would think that they all deserved to be appointed to the inspection of those articles M: attention was soon called to a conversation whic! took place, and as it is more easily conveyed in dia- logue, I'll so give it you, Brrr anp Pork—Well, Mr. Tobacco, what's your chance? Is it true that the Governer declares he won’t appoint any one tojoffice who is not a tee-total- ler, like himself? _ Tosacco.—(Setting down a glass of water with a tremendous “ stick” in it.)

The object is “to head of!” the street sweeping contract law of your corpora- tion, which the democrats think will give the whigs a large patronage for five years, and probably secure them the city elections. “The bill was introduced with a few pertinent and sensible remarks by D. R. F. Jones, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and was supported by Chas. Daly, in his maiden speech, which was exceedingly clever, and aston- ished every one who heard it. Mr. Daly is destined to become quite a conspicuous and brilliant star as as an orator; he spoke with zeal, yet in a cool, col- lected manner, and answered the whigs’ big gun, ‘Wills Hall, in a way that would have done credit to the oldest member inthe house. Mr. MeMurray also supported the bill, and gave some pretty severe rubs and hard knocks upon the whig Common Council of your city. His remarks were £0 severe and caustic, that they called to the floor old Enoch Strong, who tried to answer Mr. McMarray’s argu: ments, and then commenced talking azainst time and common sense, which he accomplished in a speech if I may so callit, in which the King’s Eng lish was most villanously and barbarously butch- ered, and under which excruciation the members were obliged to submit for about two hours, when pe eauae eeaee he sat down, and the previous question being called, the bill was passed. So sink or swim, ARIEL. Legislature of New York, Fripay, January 18th, 1843.

The committee of the whole, Mr. Reddington in the chair, took up the annual message of the Gov- erncr. The question recurred on Mr. Hathaway's reso- lutions, referring the different portions of the mes- Bi to appropriate committees. Mr. Futter addressed the chair in an argument principally against that portion of the message rela- tive to the distribution of the eM igaeg of the public lands. When he had concluded, Mr. Hatnaway remarked, that as members had expressed a desire to discuss the message in Com- mittee, he did not wish to embarrass them by taking the question now.

It has deposites, for say 20 years, amounting to about $600,000, upon which it has is- sued bills for circulation. The security for this cir- ¢ulation ‘is ample. It consists of the obligations o! e tonpwets to an equal amount with pe maid ¢irculation—of the sum on m lastly of thetwo millions ¢ of the Trust Depart- ment.
