Already, in my last message, my words on this subject, 1 remomber it with pride, were favorably re- eeived by the Assembly. I said to you :— ‘The uncertainty of the future gives rise to muy ap. prehensions, while it awakens many hopes, Let us ali be ‘Prepared to sacrifice these hopes to our country, and let ws give heed to itsinterests alone.

The supply of money remains very abundent for all More purposes, but it cannot readily ba obtained on sny terms for such as are of a too speculative character. It is to be observad, how- ever, in explanation of the present plethora, that it arises, in a great measure, from the limited de- mand that exists for it in the commercial world, by reason of the generally inactive 5 There are, besides, few new public companies being established, and consequently the demand for money for joint stock projects is limited Capitalists, the game time, are not investing largely in the railways or otber public companies, so that there is but a restricted outlet for the em- ployment of the large sums of money now re- mi ig idle in the hands of the bankers, dis- count houses, and of private individuals. Tho present law of partnership it is, at length, gene- rally perceived, directly militates against the ab- sorption of spare capital, as, usder its opera tious, joint stock companies cannot ba frooly formed with sufficient advantage to those who gre otherwise willing to support projects of un- questionable utility, profit, or nationality; and it is well known that euch institutions absorb a large amount annually of surplus capital and savin, Were the law now what it ought to, and no doubt will be in time, the present excess of supply over demand would find an immediate and profitable channel for investment, and also absorb whatever further supply, however large, that may be received from California and Australia. ‘The Bank of England directors have not made ary reduction in the rate of interest.

A {Erom the Panama Star, Nov. 4; We learn from a private source, that letters have been received by authorities of this pcoviace giving the particulars of an outbreak in the Pro- vince of Vera; AS far a3 we have been able to gather information, it appears that an offort had been made to supplant Gov. Lucas Anguls in his authority. The movement waa going on in the North, headed by a former Governor, or Governor protem, ot this province, and who had aroused the people, and armed and eqninged them. Governor Angule has raised about 1,100 mon, from Tabias, Parita, and Nata, and on the 27th ult. went out to meet the insurgents. Some firing, and shooting, and noise, were heard ia tho direction taken by Governor Angula, but nothiag definite was learned. The outbreak commenced on the 22d ult A large reward was offered for the leader of the revolution ary movement, whether taken dead or alive. (From the Panama Star, Nov. 4] A decision of great importance to every Ameri- can, and possibly to every foreign resident upon the Isthmus, has lately been made by the highest court of judicature in the Province of Panama. The case went up from ao appellant court, where the decision was in favor of the plaintiff who ap- peared by his special attorney or agent. The ap- peal was taken, not on the merits of the case, but ona point of law. The point of law reserved for the dacigien of the supreme court was, whether an American citizen possessed the power to prosecute the defendant sp, his agent; that agent being a foreign resident aud not a native of the Province. Tho merits of the case were not denied. Judge Arosemena gave it as his opinion that an Amerisan citizen, and consequently other foreigners, cannot a) yelot «Silo w-oeaniry man 5 an agent to prose- e suits or transact busincas legally, under the laws of this province, and remanded the case to the lower court to be tried de novo, thus leaving it op- tional with the agenc of the plaintiff to dismiss the suit and pay the costs, or suffer sogquea for costs to be entered up against him, besides subjecting him to aloss of his rightful claim, the justice of which was not denied. Te decision of Judge Aro- semena is based upon a law of the court, denying the right to native citizens to appoint foreigners their factors or agents; and he contends that if fo- A residents here were permitted to appoint their fellow countrymon their attorneys in fact, or agents or factors, it would be conceding to them a right not enjoyed by native citizens themselves, and con- sequently they would posress a privilege above the citizens of the country At first glance, the opinion of the Judge would appear specious, but we trust he will examine tho grounds of his argument, and come to an opposite opinion. Andwe trust he will permit us, as an Imicus Curia, to ‘at out the provisions of the | thirteenth article of the treaty between the repub- lic of New Granada and the United States, which | saysi— h contracting parties promise and engage formally to give their special protection to the persons and pro- perty of thecitizens of each other, of ali occupations, who may be in the territories subject to the jurtsdiction of one or the other, transient or dwelling therein, leay- ing Cpen and free ts them the tribunals of justice for their judicial recourse. on the same terms which are usual and customary with the matives or citizens of the onan 's article of the treaty had stopped here, the decision of Judge Arosemena would have been in accordance with tbe law and the treaty; but it goes to point out the manner how the o! apg of The each country may have judicial recourse. “eaty especially p: ies that an America: before the tribu: cither in person, of zeBs or agents”—the words “agents cating that other than ‘‘ citizens” were For which purpose, they may either appear t= preper Perec, or employ in the prosecution OF defewer of Chew rights such advocates solicitors, notaries wee factors as they may j proper im ail ae st law; and such citizens o- agents shall have few tunity to be present the decision oF seatemens tribunals in all cases which may concers them. amd tik wiee at the taking of all examinations aud evidences which may be exhibited in the said trials | ‘This latter clause in this article comes in asa pro- viso to explain the preceding part, and to ws ap- pears very plain—giving American residents here the right to choose who they will appoint to trans- act their business caring absence from the country. The treaty here gives them the right to select tho “citizens” of the country, such ag advocates, solici- tors, and notaries, who can be no other than citi- zens of the country,—or the; ents: or facters,” who are not ue and the treaty goes on to oa) ch citisens or agents,” &2 —cleariy distinction be- irawing a tween a citizen and an agent, which could have no other reference than to their nationalty. The treaty is ambiguous in part, and as a whole, and its meaning and spirit is hard to uaderstand. Its main feature, however, ia plainly to give the citizens of the United States the same rights and privileges as are enjoyed by the native citizens of bat this thirteenth article appears to be somewhat differently worded from any other part of the tre and is intended, in our judgment, to cure the right of our fellow countrymen te appoint “other than ‘‘eitizens” to transact their usiness in suca cases as they may desire. We sincerely hope Judge Arosemena will review his decision, and come to one of an re charac- more in accordance with justice, if not co etly legal in bis —. The Judge must seo with bis clear mind, the hardship and injustice his Cecision ig calculated to work, not enly upon ada bat through them the native popula- | ion With such a decision, foreigners will be very careful how they extend the ramifications of their business, or enter largely into trade, knowing that emergency calls them away, they cannot ap- oF countryman their agent to carry oa or cloce up their affairs. If the Judge's decision is & correct one, the sooner the law is repealed the better it will be for both native and foreigner. 4 {From the Panawa Btar, October 3 | Wo have heard a letter road, dated Chagres, 20ch iret , the statements in which are almort too hori blo for belief It ia froma member of the famil otMr. 1 Worms, a merchant ot this city, who left bere @ few daya since in enfeebled health, for Ha vars, accompanied by his wife, child, sister, and a 1c. ‘luntirgton, a talented young American phy- sician, who had been on this coast for some yea ‘The letter says that on arriving in t of Oba, the boatmen seeing and hearing the firing of guns onthe American side, refused to land the party d took them over to the native side As be beat landed, Dr. Hustiogton jumped ashore, where Le was beset by a crowd of negroes, who literally eut bim into pieces.

Arson in the highest gree was dec! & capital felony, both by the common and civil law; and our iegisiation, while softening the rigor of the criminal code in respect to most other offences, has left this where it viously stood—upom an equality with murder. wilful burning of an iababited dwelling is an act of de- tng so enormous and deliberate as toadmit of no pai- tion, Whether considered with reference to the evil passions which prompt it, or the danger to human life which is inseparable from it, not only the law, but tue sentiments of mankind, denounce it ag equivalent to murder, and sanction the sume extreme penalty in the punishment of the ofender It is more destructive, aad when it inciudes the sacrifice of impocent victims, it be: comes the most dreadful form of murder.

It is wi peculiar facility, and the difficulty of detection produces strong hopes of impunity. The general use of matches and other combustible contrivances, has made it compa- ratively eary for the incendiary to gratify his infernal paesions. and evade discovery under the darkness of pight. Recent experience has shown that the use of fire is becoming an ordinary resource of the desperate aad depraved in executing thelr schemes of destruction and reverge. Proof of this may be found in the fact that three persops are now under sentence of death, in this State, for arson in the first degree, while several are ‘awaiting trial for the same offence. It is represented to me that, for many months previous to the arrest of Uenk. ip, the city of Utica had been visited by a succession of fres,in which numerous buildings were consumed, and the virtuous portion of the community kept ina state of continual jeopardy and alarm.
