( ' | nil nf # Imsn ura iiuinrli Kti lira 1 enormous public debt which existed at the commencement of the war, and since increased to the extent of twelve hundred millions of dollars, is obvious. The people of the United States are interested only in ascertaining all the facts bearing upon public affairs on the other ! side of the water. The war itself has been sufficiently discussed; its effects npon com nterce, trade and business are already apparent. Every mail from England brings , us tidings of the nervous and agitated . state of public feeling, and tbe most stri, 'ting feature of the whole affair is the uncertainty and doubt in which their noblest k men treat the financial interests of their f countries. The energy and sagacity of ' the London press, which up to the pre* > ent time has probed every movement of I the hostile armies, and lias brought to , light every secret of diplomacy, is confessi edly st fault in its efforts to solvo the comr plicated problem of tbo finances of lvng, land in connection with the Continent.? I Twenty millions of dollars iu specie has I been suddenlv drawn from the bank of - England to Tarts and elsewhere; and it i is explained upon as many hppolheses as there are writers, and none of them are at I all satisfactory. It has been bought up > by the bank ot t ranee at an enormous sa- | t erifice to that institution; it has been with- r drawn to be tent to Russia to satisfy a so- . > eret loan made to that govern meot; it waa j the work of continental operators, who , aent to Loodon long paper, had it discoun , ted, and withdrew the proceeds, which 1 ? meat be returned in due course of lime, k It woa a movement of the French Kmpe- < ror to fortify hia capital with specie to | k meet the extraordinary demands upon hia ' government consequent upon a failure of ! 1 the grain crops in hia dominions. All k those are reasons thrust forward by as , rmny papers and writer who seem to i % ' V ? 4 itcmuuk iiia inui iii.u me war lias withlrawn from the ordinary channels <* rade, directly and indirectly, more thai i hundred millions of dollars, generating suspicion of governments and their finan sial agents alike, and rendering the lattei tt any tune liable to tho withdrawal o! argo deposits, which constitute animporant itciu in all bankiug institutions. We regarJ tho financial disturbance! >vliieh have created so much alarm as on y the beginning of what the future is tc infold. In the present condition of the lelligereuts, their immense public debts, he enormous expenses of the war, tin critical and excited state of the public nind, tho history of the past, the shorl trops, the union of the great banking initilutions of the Continent with the governments, there is -luite enough to acrount for the sudden withdrawal of tweny millions of dollars f. oin the money captal of tho world. And there is evidence u this that tho war itself will be protrac ed. It is made by the allies upon Russian territory; and by Russia upon Eugish and French commerce, trade and inlustrv. The withdrawal of the funds ol lie Imperial family from England, the luuuorn aim unyielding spirit of the Uusinn people and government, the characer of their industry, the immensity o! heir resources, the economy of their ex enditures, fighting upon their own lerriories and subsisting upon their own pioluctions, none of which will be permitted o fall into the hands of their enemies, ire enough to show whr.t will he the fuure course of events. Upon the subject >f money ttur? j* little sensitiveness in tussia; on that suhjeel all history shows hat England is more sensitive. When Russia, in violatiou of ihe treaty f Vienna, hi 1832, absorbed the King lorn of Poland, the very thought of a genral war produced so innrked an effect upn the Hank' of England that Lord PalDerston m.a wu b^n?tv 1W amo forward,in obedience to the deiu<*>.a. >f commerce, and to avert tho threatened alainity to the bank, and announced the lubmission of tho government to the fall >f Potftnd. Tim u mil ioli tlinn flirowt incd the industry of England is fully up>n it now. In the present instance, the unda have been kept up, and the fiiiau :es of the countries involved in the war ustained by the delusive hope that Rusia would yield and peace be restored. In he forty years of general peace?forty ears of unparall ded industry?England las only been able to reduce her nationd debt $200,000,000. It has become na 11 ifeat that I lie load she hears is al! that ihe can sustain. France has gone on in:reasing her debt. The suspicion of cap talists rightly sets in at this very point, tussia knows this, and she knows full veil that a great financial crisis, which hall compel a suspension of specie paynents, and throw the public securities uto discredit, with no prospect of peace, vill inflict upon the Allies a calamity far iioro serious and incurable than thai vhich she has suffered in tho loss of So astopol, and may suffer in the loss of the Crimean peninsula. The failure of the crops in England, France and Germany, is not less than (if,y-fivc million bushels of wheat, This is ull as much as the whole surplus of the United States, and cannot he supplier] with less than $110,000,000. The withlrawal of this sum alone will be sufficient o put the great bauking institutions ol lie Continent to a severe test?a sunt icarly double that of tho specie basis ol lie Hank of England, and greater than hat of the two banks of London and I'uris. The felly of the union cf financial and political interests is now made apparent. Hie former partake of the discredits of the alter. As tho war progresses, and expenditures accumulate; as individu d sua licion of the ability of the government? ,o meet their engagements increase; as .axes becorao more and more oppressive jeaco more distant; as commerce and gen >ral industry incur shock after shock from heir great enemy, war?-wo inay look to he bank* for shortened resources, and, fi rally, to an entire (suspension of pay ncnts.

Iu speaking of tlio e\^nt, she touohingly and beautifully alludes to the love of the poet for MnVy Chatworth, th.ua: "Strangely sorrowful, almost agonisingly ' regretful, were the thoughts which swept | away over my mind, wave after wave, and shook my heart like a tempest as I stood in the place where the young poet passed many hours of silent thought, or it may be of lonely wretchedness. I never before so deeply felt how passing mournful was the sto ry of Byron's first and only love. That Mary Chatworth returned the passion of her young poet lover, I have not a doubt; but like the Montagues and Capulets, houses of Chatworth and Byron were at feud.

This, not Shakspeare's, was tho true soul of tragedy. Might she cot have redeemed even his wayward and erring nature by the divinity of a pure love | and steadfast faith? But it was not to be. Mary bestowed her hand upon a man of whom little better can be said than he ranked among tho most eminent sportsmen of the day, lived, it is said, to weep wild tears over the words which have linked her namo in sorrowful immortality with her lover's, and died in broken-hearteduess at last. wbil9 he, grown reckless and defiant, the very coro of his heart turned to bitter ashes, forgetting his G.jd, and distrusting and despising his brother, swept 0:1 in his glorious,shameful, sorrowful and stormy career, til) the shadows deepened, and the h ng night closed in."
