The Money Crisis in France—Proposition to Purchase Spe in the United States. [From L’Asremblee Nationale, Oct. 20.) ‘The Bank of France, after having resolved, somewhat Jate in the day, to have recourse to measures of prudence, and to restrict ita advances by increasing the rate of dis: count, sppears now decided to proceed resolutely in this way. It ‘yesterday again increased its rate of dis- count one per cent, making it now six per cent, aud haa reduced from forty to thirty per cent the figure of ita advances on deposit of property. This makes, within three weeks, an increase of two per cent in the rate of interest, and a reduction of twenty per cent in the fgure ofadwmmoes. These are grave and precipitate measures— they have been produced by the most serious reasons. The money in the yaults should have continued to de- crease, and the porvfolio to in:rease tn a considerable proportion, if the bank had recoiled bef»re means so energetic. We need not repeat what we have already said of the causes of the diss ppearance of the specie; these caures are always the rame, and they appear to act with afresh intensity at this moment, not cnly among our- selves, but in Englard also, for there, too, the rate of discount has been raised trom five and a half to six per cent for short exchanges, and up to seven per cent for long excharges. It iv long since, ix either country, the rate of interest hax been as high and che credit so restricted. We vin- cerely desire that these measures may be able to control the condition of affairs, and to bring back a normal con- nection — betw the bullion and, the notes in circulation; for that is the ¢ssential — object aimed ut’ in France as well as in England, It is not desirable to dercend to a figure in which the bal- Vion,in the venlts, ceasing to be the principal guarantee of the notes, it would be necessary 10 recur to forced is- sues. Wo compreherd cerfictly that all possible efforts should be wade to avoid such an expedient. But we ask ourselves up to what point matters might have gone, and still avoid the danger by other measures less injurious to con merce and credit. Might it not have been thought of to increase the bank capital, at present #0 restricted for the extent of ite operations ‘and if auch increase were Cecided on, night itnot be realized in apecie, which could be purchased in America, where it abounds’ For it must not be forgotten, {t is exactly the sume at this moment, in regard to the scarcity of pecie, ax to that of cerea crop:; itis a relative wearetty; it docs not exist every- where; it particularly does not exist in the New World. ‘The Amevican journals tell us that in the United States, where the rate of movey averages from cight to ten per cent, ond where it sometimes reaches from twelve to iif- teen per cent, i hardly amounts at present to the medi- um rate of eight per cent, a fact which announces an ex- ceptional monetary abundance—an abundance #0 much the greater, a@ the larger portion of the gold of California stops there instead of coming to Europe. All that is to be done, thereiore, in regard to specie, as well as to corn, is to go and seek it where it exists; and the task docs not appear to us impossible, if we make up our mind to pay a little higher.

The at- tendance was not so large as it should have been, when H the objects of the meeting are considered, but we under- stand another meeting will be held when it is t> be hoped there will be a larger audience. The proneedings were opened with prayer by the Kev. Dr, Dewitt, after which on address on the objects of the institution was made by the Rev. Dr. Bellows. He dwelt with particular stress upon the fact that five hundred thousand persons had died of drunkenness throughout the United states uring the last ten years, At present it was regarded as ‘a crime, and was ‘punished with imprisonment; but in many cases he regarded it as a disease, and believed it. rhovld be treated as such. \The inebriate, he said, is entitled to the syrppathy of the community, and not to its condemnation, for in many cases his drunkenness-was hereditary, and in nearly all it was the result of weak- ness cf character. All they required for the Asylum to commence with is fifty thousand dollars and this, in comparison with the great good which would be effected by such an institution, was comparatively tritling. ose who are now thrown into prison would be taken care of, and instead of being regarded as outcasts, would be treated as human beings entitled to sympathy. Out of every hundred cases of drunkenness it had been proved by reliable medical suthority that eighty were carable of being cured, while the rest, if not elfectually and wholly cured, would be relieved in a great degree from the effects of the evils of intoxication, The asylum had been chartered by the State, and it only required fifty thousand dollars to put it in operstion. At the clove of Dr. Bellows’ remarks, Professor Hitchcock made a brief address, commending the objects of the asylum, after which the meetitg adjourned.

Tux Commission in THE Du Lux Casr—RETURN OF ONE OF mE Compnssionens.—Cbarles E, Whitehead, one of the commissioners »ppointed by the Surroga e to execute the commission in Fiance, issued by the Surrogate of New York in this case, returned by the Arago, which arrived at this port last’ evening. He was the bearer of the return to the commission, which was this morning delivered to the Surrogate. The eom- missioners have executed their duties very com- pletely, visiting every place in France that was ever inhabited by Jane Ya Lox, and tracing up the his- tory of her life trom her birth.’ They also traced up her family, on both the maternal and paternal side, aud com- piled'a complete geneologisal table of the Icarts, The commission was very succestful in finding eyideace upon the point at issue. At Biert, a little village in the moun- tains of the Pyrenées, they discovered some of the re'a- tives of Jane Du Lux still living, and at Custellone and St. Girons, the Ferrié family, belog the aunts and cousins of the claimant. ‘This result proves the propriety of sending commissioners in cases of similar importance and intricacy, and was a matter of interest and pleasui to all French officials with whom the commissioners were thrown into contact. On only one occasion did they meet with any objection on the part of witnesses, and as the French courta would not enforce obedience to the commission in the hands of foreigners, they were obliged to leave the witness without obtaining his evi- dence. The commissicn now rests in the hands of the Surrogate until he gives notice to the parties, when it will be opened, and become part of the public testimony in the case.

But this much is certain, that we have almost weekly arrivals of batches of from thice to twelve paupers, who are serit here from your city, and are landed ‘amongst us without money ot fiends, wany of whom are sick when landed, whose ex- penges to this place are paid by the emigration societies of your city, or by the city authorities themselves. These, ifnet sent "back, would soon become a public charge upen us. Many are in ® sickly oondition and cannot be eent back; others linger along for a while, until they bs- come fastened upon us, and finally become a public charge for life, We ask you is this right!—well knowing from tbe estimate we have formed of your character, that your response will be emphatically, no! We therefore call upon you to aid usin putting « stop to this nefari- ous practice by all the power you can bring to your aid, as soon as possible. Weare informed that by your laws you comyel cach and every foreigner arriving at your port to psy two dollars towards a fand, from which to ray the expenses of any foreigners who wiay hereafter lie- come a charge on your poor fund. This fand, from the great number of eiigrants arriving at your port, must necessarily be very large, and ought to be suffisient to keep them, without sending them away to be maintained at the expense of our and other cities, who have no such fund. We have come to the determination to send all back, as fast as they come, hereafter: and. as a matter of Justice to us, we call upon you to use your authority to y the evil, or if you have no power in the premises, ut Teast to expose the matter, so that we may know where the blame rests and apply the proper remedy.

Drak Sm—Your letter of the 23d inst. respecting the guppored trans-+hipment of foreign criminals and punpers from this city to the West by the authorities and errigrant societies of New York, would have been replied to sooner but for pressing public duties. I have now the pleasure to advice that uch is not the fact, and that Iam conf- dent no such violation of the common principles of justice and courtesy has ever taken place in this city. You are quite right in supposing that my own feclings and views would be hostiie to practices of this character, upon the part of nuthorities and others here. The stand taken by me with reference to the shij it to our port of these unfortunates by the local authorities of European govern- ents, would precluce me from countenancing the perpe tration of the came wrong upon the people of your city.

The principal points of interest, however, were the speeches of Hon. Robert Tocmbs' and Alfred Iverson, representatives of the State of Georgia ip the Senate of the United States. Having ae to the organization of the society, Mr. Toombs said — It presents @ practical question—one that addresses it- self both to our interests and our patriotism. Upon the mistion of Missouri into the Union, * consent of the South, slavery was prohibited in all the Territories lying north of 36 deg. 00 min, For » long while this vast coun- try was whsbited only by the ret man. For a few past the fertility of that portion of it known as the Terri- tories of Kansas and Nebsaske, lying immediately west of Missouri ard Iowa, bas attracted thither a large number rs and emigrants. They recently wr Yerritorial governments; the re- sult was the haseage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, “The principles ef the bill are familiar to all. The promi- nent feature of it—the only one of practical im- Rae to the South, was—that it was a repoal of the issouri restriction that it left to the people of the vast Territories of the Weat the sole tion of their do- mestic institutions—that it prohibited the interference of either Congress or the States in their regulation. He had voted for the bill; he was content to abi’e by its principles, ‘The North consented to let the natural laws of emigration people these Territories. Such was the un- Cerstanding of all upon the pi of the Dill, Ihe fcuth desired to carry her institutions into them, yet the did not ack for them the proteetion ot Congress.’ She wes, and is wow, ready to stand by her compact. Has the North done s0% Has she acted in good faith? Is she not deing everything In her power to thwart the mani- fest orjocts and purposes of the tall? Why ner Emigrant Abolition Aid Society? She does not disguise her inten- tions; are they nut'wrovg upon principle? Should she succeed by such efforts in overpowering the gallant Mis- sourians and make Kansas free soilf When she applies for sdmission into th) Union, the South is pledged not to object, If she applies with a constitution recognizing slavery, the North is bound by a similar pledge. ‘The cay is near at hard when she will be seeking ad- mission. Our enemies were already in the field, why stand we here idle? Delay was fatal. It was time the South was aroused to a full sense of her danger, He was now in favor of Emigrant Aid Associatfons at the South, to counteract the efforts of the abolionists--to avert, if possible, the threatened danger ia Kansas. We must look to our own stout hearts and strong arms for the protec. tion of our rights in the Territories. He would have op- pored the tuking of initintory steps of this character, by the South, in aiding emigration to the Territories, Tho South had not done so. The North was responsible for them. self-protection required, demanded, that we should teach the latter that we will not submit to such diabo- lical attempts to abolitionize » Territory whose climate, soil and productions indicated it so favorable for the ex- tension of slavery. It was an attempt to circumseribe it. He was not sispored to force slavery upon any people or Territory; the natural laws of emigration ought to settle the question of its extension in the West. Yet, since the North will not agree to this, 1et ue look to it at once that Southern rights, Southern interest and Southern honor shail be defended and represented there by ‘good men and true.” For one he was ready to open his purse and wovide with means thore who were willing te battle in Kansas for the South and slavery. fe appealed to the patriotism and pride of all present to give, and to give liberally, material aid to the society, to carry out its patriotic purposes; to give promptly, for now was the day and now the hour, The North has forced this course upon us; we have no other alternative left. Let us not be I-ggard in maintaining our rights; the issue was a momentous one; the struggle in the Ter- ritory was for empire; it was worthy of our best, our noblest efforte. He proceeded to show the importance to the South of the admission of Kansas into the Union as a lave State; it was the key to the great West; the high road to the Pacific; its influence in the formation of States from the ries South and West of it. It was of vital conse- quence to the slaveholder in Missouri. Tc Lad been said that slavery would not be profitable in Kansas; this wasagreat mirtake. It was in the same latitude with Miseouri; its soil very much the same. In no State in the Union’ was slave labor more profitable than in Missouri; the history of the institution there was the best evidence of this. By the census of 1810 her slave population was only 40,000; by the census of 1850 it was more than doublé this number. Ont of its eighty, odd thourand slaves, the census showed that 50,000 of them were in the western border counties of the State, immediately ac jacent to Kansas, Hemp, tobacco, wheat and corn are ihe principal products of Missouri. The soil of Kansas bas been foun cauelly as well adapted to their growth. ‘Their cultivation was far more profita- ble than cotton; ihe history of slave labor in Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri had proven it to be 80. Mr. Toombs having: concluded, Capt. Lomax being loudly called for, responded iu a few Dilef and spirited remarks. Kansas was the applied to Congress to Missouri, but to exch g States that it should come into the lave State. The admission of California had deprived us of the balance of power in the Senate. Now waa the time, and this the occasion to restore it. The hour for action had arrived—united and vigorous action. Missouri, led on by her gallant Atchison, had done nobly. It was. a struggle of life with ber; it behooved the South to rush at once to her rescue. Shall she appeal in vain to Southern hearts and Southern patriotism? Her cavse was the cause of the Sonth. He concluded by calling upen all present to unite with the society in its patriotic efforts, 10 open their purposes and give material aid to those stout hearts and strong arms, who were now ready to emigrate to Kansas and pattle f.r Southern rights. Hon, Alfied Iverson then arose and addressed a few re- morks to the society. The policy of the North, said he, was to surround the South with a cordon of free States, and, by confining slavery to a limited area, to crush it out.’ In this point of view, the maintenance of slavery fa Kansas was o matter of vital interest to the South, If slavery gives way in Kansas, Missouri will be surrounded on three sides by non-slaveholding States, and the imstitution must give way there; it will also be in peril in the Indian ter- ritory lying south of Kansas; it will then omly remain for the abolitionists to extend their influence to Western Texay, and the great object of their ambition will be at- tained. The’ South will then be reduced to a hopeless minority in the Union; her mstitutions will be confined to the narrow limlis they at present occupy; aad their overthrow will only be @ question of time. On the other hand, he contended, that if slavery were maintained in Kansas, it would be also maintalaed in Missouri, it might possibly be exterded to Utah, New Mexico und Southern California; it would certainly be protected in the Indian territory avd Texas; and when the northern provinces of Mexico are annexed to the United States, as they certainly will be in the course of time, the field of the extension for Southern institutions will be indefinitely elarged. Upon a propesition of John A, Jones, Fsq., to be one of ten to subscribe $250 each to arm and equip a compan; of emigrants to Kansas, a short discussion arose, partici- pated in by Mr, Jores, Judge Crawford and others—as to the best and most expedient method of raising funds for the use of the society, Judge Crawford suggested that every man should subscribe one dollar for each slave he potesred; that if every slaveholder in the State would do fo, a fund of not Jess than four hundred thousand doltars could be rai-ed, which could te increased at least to half a million of dollars by the subseriptions of others, If the other slaveholding Sites would unite with us in this un- dertaking, aca the subscriptions be in accordance with this per capita system or some similar method, we might, in the fifteen slavebolding States, raise a fund equal to that which may be raised by the Emigrant Aid societies of tke New England States. Give Southern emigrants four millions of dollars, in addi ion to the inducements to and the bright, prospects of slave: Iatjor in Kansas, and ere long she will be seeking admission into the Union as a slave State. Fatal Railrond Accident. A frightful accident occurred on the Georgia Central road on Wednesday afternoon, the particulars of which are communicated to the Savannah Erening Courier, by the messenger of Harnden’s Express Company:— A freight train from Macon had reached to miles and a half below station 13, when the boiler of the locomotive exploded with fearful violence. The cause of the explo. sion has not as yet been examined fully, and the death of thore immediately aware of the facts renders it difficult to ascertain. The locomotive was thrown torward by the force of the explosion forty feet in advance of the point where the boiler burst, and there planted crosawise. ‘The engineer, named Kelly, (a Pengsylvanian, and who had recently come upon the road,) was instantly killed, as was also the fireman. An eye witness stated that the body of the engineer was blown literally high into the air, and it is further said that the dead of the fire- man was found upon the rearmost car of the train—fear- ful proofs of the awful Voleosy of the sudden blow which hurried them into eternity. ‘brnkesman on the ten- ded. Ho was in a most critical state at last accounts. The kcomotive is a complete wreck. It will be cof: siderable loss to the he gO but this is of Jitde import. ance when compared wit! he loss of life by so sudden and terrible a calemity.. The names of the sufferers by this accident are as fol- lows :—Meriland Kelly, engineer; fireman, —— Barnes ; brakesman, Michael Shecahan. The damage to the road ix estimated to amount to ,00C—the (rack is torn up for the extent of one hun- dred and fifty feet. We also learn that it is the opinion of Mr. Wadley, the Superintendent, that the accident was the result of the carelessness cr ignorance of the engi- neer, The accident cceurred at 2 o'clock P. M. The en- gine was one of Baldwin’s make, and five years old. It is worthy of remark that this is the first time an ee. cident of this kind has ever occurred upon the Central Railroad. * Theatres and Exhibitions.

Francis, M. D., who referred to the fact that this was the eighth anniversary of the institution, and alluded to the objects it designed to effect, and the success which bad hitherto atiende its labors and deliberations. He then called upon the Rey. Dr, Hutton to address the ‘Throne of Grace, after whi :h he introduced Joux Watson, M. D., who delivered the annual adaress, of which the following is the substance:— Ihave not reacily consented to come before you this evening. since 1 believe that our profession, from its Dabitual acquaintance with the sick room, is’ more in- clined to rententiousnees than to the forum. Few physi- cians are distinguished as public ageakera. Eloquence ee spirit to the palptt, end is ap ornament to the dar; nt our profession is a silent one. Yet T have not folt ab lierty to refuse to address you this evening. To the initiated, many pleasnres attach themselves to the medi- cal profession, which to others «ould acem incompatible with its cares; and who wonders that the votaries of the healing art are, like others, drawn together in the bonds of a social and scfentific union’ The attention Sitionary history of | ancient be prevent day so universally practised hat it seems almost incredible tat a nation should have ever existed without having enjoyed its benefits; but we learn of several of the early nations who had no physicians. Among these were mentioned Persia, whose monarch was compelled to import the first prac: titioner of medicine into that country. ‘The Romans, also, were without the services of a physician until the year of the city 5€8, when they obtained one from Greece. ‘The success of this individual, however, was by no means equal to the efforts made to secure his’ services, and the inhabitants of Rome were so little gratified at the result of their experiment thot many yearsafterward, as we Journ, Cato found the country enjoying immunfiy from the presence of doctors, The ubvriginese of our own country had no other practitioners than those moderate- ly acquainted with the properties of a few herbs, and who Wrought upon the superstitions of their patients, ‘They porsersed great influence, but their personat safety was not equal to their influence. In Egypt, the priests wore and still are the only physicinns, aad the grentest deter. ence was prid to them. ‘They devoted themselves principsl- Jy to the treatment of special Alseases, wome attenting to iseases of the eye, others to those of the ear, others still to thore of the vital orgons. Among the Greeks there were three sources of medical knowledge: the Gymnasis, the Schools of Philosophy, and the Temaples of A’sculapiu:. In the first, the art of music, intellectual pursuits and athle- tic exercises were chiefly taught, but the gymnasiarchs, 0 vernors of the gymnasia, being frequently called upon ‘0 exercise their pkill in cases of accident, gained some dexterity in the treatment of other diseases. It is diffi- cult to say how far the teaching of medicine was carried in the sebools of philosophy, but we know thet Plato was somewhat acquainted with the subject, as taught by his contémporary, LO aha Pythagoras, any of the philorophers of the school of Crotora, also attained distinction in the practice of the art. The temples of Esculapiue were the chief sources of acquaintance with the principles of medicine. Candidates for admission to the Xsculepian schools, whose parents were not Ascle- pindes, were required to be of the age of 20 years, and Betore’ entering the temples were obliged to go through the ceremony of purification. A series of mysteries were then gone through with, the initiatory of which was called illumination, and the ultimate was coronation. In the process of these mysteries, the student was obliged to take an oath in the name of Apollo, Panacea, Hygeia and all the gods and goddesses, to maintain certain ob- servances cf honor and justice, and to lead an almost spotiess tife, which the physicians of the prosent day cht imitate with advantage. Many of the Athenian physicians were mrintained by’ annual salaries from the tate, although there were others who practised medi- cine privately. They did not usually visit the sick, but retired into the temple, and after purification, ’pre- tended to have a vision in which they were in- structed how to treat their patients, The slaves of the physicians were al4o allowed to practise among their own class, ‘The ancient practitioners, while they ponersed less skill in administering to disease requiring medical aptnees, were in many surgical diseases nearly as successful as their descendants. In the early life of Plato much objection was made to the attemot to cure chrenic diseases, and the argument was used that Esculapius would’ never have undertaken or sanctioned such endeavors. Great fault was also found with the nosology of disease, and no one believed that the presiding divinity of the healing art would have given countensnce to such names as dropsy, catarrh, &c. Restricticns were placed upon certain surgical opera- ns, and the sale of poizonous drugs and medicaments, yy mountebanks ang empirics—peddiing priests, as Plato denominated them, OF the personal history of Hippo. crates we know but little. He studied under some of the most distinguished of the Asclepiades; and it iscertain that during the Peloponnessian war, his services to the State gained him many distinguished honors. To bis efforts ix seatly due the removal of the study of medicine from the schools of philosophy, and making tiem the object of separate schools. He firet reduced the science of medi- cine to a system, and finally died ut the advanced age of 85. Afterallusions to the contemporaneous school of Nidos, and « comparison of the principles of that with the school of Hippocrates, and some ad iitional remsrks, the lecturer announeed that he had already exhuusted’ the time urually oceupled inthe annual address, and re tired. It wns voted that the thanks of the body be tendered to Dr, Watson for his address, and that he be invited to finish it at bis own convenience, and the session was declared adjourned. Married.
