England'g Summer, 1857.
This is tetter poetry than we usually see in the news
paiiers. We find it in the London " Times," and take it
to bo from the pen of R. Moncton Milnes :
The echoes of the T8ge of war
Fade in the Eastern distance :
Two years ago " looms very far
In our well filled existence :
n that broad East, yet more remote.
We waste not thought or feeling,
But muse on British flags afloat,
And swarthy millions kneeling.
Week after week the summer sun,
Undimmed by cloud or shower.
w ltn an Italian speed brings on
The happy harvest hour :
The arts of peace, by plenty nurst.
Proclaim the world's alliance,
Even in the merry trumpet burst,
And shouts of gay defiance.
Then flash along the sentient wire
Some words so brief and fearful,
That they who hear them scarce desire
To see their children cheerfu' :
Tidings that through wild Hindostan,
Where Britain's rule stood surest.
No life is safe of Christian man,
The loftiest or the poorest,
U it a nation roused to meet
In amis a strange dominion ?
A people maddened by the heat
L'S jiu-t or false opinion?
No ; soldiers cared for as our sons,
And clothed with England's honor.
Have turned their parricidal guns
With basest craft upon her !
Soon things that make young blood run cold
We whisper, while we tremble ;
Or cry that truths shall not be told
We to ourselves dissemble ;
And hideous images affright
Our soul's deep hiding places,
And in our sleep we start at sight
Of unknown forms and faces.
Our fair expanse of green and gold
Can hardly find us grateful,
The very smi that could behold
Such scenes is almost hateful ;
Warm rco's flare up to cruel heat,
We sicken and we languish.
With those on whose sad heads they beat
Intolerable anguish !
We markkas comes the breeze of morn
To freshen and to sweeten
The ripples of the oaten corn,
The billows of the wheaten ;
And feel that not one such sweet breath
Can reach where parch'd and tangled
The earth gives up to wasting death
Our brethren foully mangled.
And oh ! the pangs of those who know
What never must be spoken
Hearts that will bear about the woe
Of memory until broken :
God give them thoughts of those who died
In Christendom's first ages,
The child, the veteran, and the bride,
The saints of history's pages !
For these are Christian martyrs too
And England's all the dearer :
The mighty work she has to do
These agonies brings nearer ;
Conjuring her by that pure blood
No moment to abandon
The task of world-embracing good
She once has laid her hand on.
She cannot match the develish deed,
Nor mate the hideous treason,
Her blow is not the traitor's meed,
But self-defending reason :
That will be lavish of its life,
And hold all cost uncounted,
Till through the length and breadth of strife
This peril be surmounted.
Then may she pardon only then
When shame aud conscience-stricken,
The credulous or slothful men
Who let the horror thicken
Who little knew and nothing planned
The evil bond to sever,
Nor dared to burst it with the hand
Of resolute endeavor.
Yet while the rulers we condemn,
Who failed in due provision,
We trust for Britain, as for them,
In history's great decision,
That subject lands more justly ruled,
And strength more mildly wielded.
Had never been, than when befooled
To noble hopes we yielded ;
Hopes of a world the force of law,
The worth of knowledge prizing ;
From Heathendom's debasing awe
To Christian reverence rising ;
Hopes of a people struggling forth
From custom s deep entraucement,
Led by the conquerors of the earth
To Freedom's safe advancement.
Be this an Oriental tale
By Saxon pride engendered,
Hopes for a hundred years may fail, J
et not be all surrendered :
And now from each distracting scene
Of passion fiercely nourished,
We know what India might have been
Had Moslem tyrants flourished :
So would have been, and yet would be,
If England shrunk from duty.
Then watch your harvest wealth with glee ;
Rejoice in Nature's beauty,
Making her bounties ministers
Of toil and self-denial,
And Victory's surest harbingers.
After the fiery trial. R. M. M.
From the Philadelphia Argus,
Daniel Wcbatcr on the Evils of a PnjH'r Currency.
At tills time when the question of the currency is
attracting so much attention the views of Daniel "Web
ster on that subject will be read with interest. It will,
doubtless, surprise the advocates of a so-called paper cur
rency, that that great statesman left upon record as de
cided a protest against that kind of money as ever did
Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson. II is clear intel
lect could not fail to see the disastrous effect which it
was certain to produce upon the business interests and
laboring classes, even nau it not been cniigtuenea uy a
close and familiar acquaintance with the teachings of
history. To those who cannot yet make up their minds
to lavor a return to the currency oi the constitution, aud
who consider the policy which favors it " democratic
radicalism,
we commend the followiner from their favor-
ite statesman, Daniel "Webster,
The following extract of a speech made by Daniel
"Webster in the United States Senate, in 1832, may le
found in Benton's Thirty Years' View, page 244, vol
ume 1 :
A disordered currency is one of the greatest of po
litical evils. It undermines the virtues necessary for the
support ot the social system, and encourages propensi
ties destructive ot its trappings. It wars against in
dustry, frugality and economy, and it fosters the evil
spirit of extravagance and speculation. Of all the con
trivances tor cheating the laboring classes ot mankind,
none has been more effectual than that which deludes
them with paper money. This is the most effectual of
inventions to lertilize the rich man's field by the sweat
ot the poor man's brow. Ordinary tyrrany, oppression,
excessive taxation these bear lightly on the happiness
of the mass of the community, compared with the fraud
ulent currencies and the robberies committed by de
preciated paper. Our own history has recorded for in
struction enough, and more than enough, of the demor
alizing tendency, the injustice and the intolerable op
pression on the virtuous and well-disposed, of a degraded
paper currency uutaonzed bv law or any way counte
nanced by government."
Again he says :
" The paper circulation of the country is, at this time,
probably seventy-five or eighty millions of dollars. Of
specie, we may have twenty or imriy millions ana mis
principally in masses in the vaults of the banks. Now,
sir, this is a state of things which leads constantly to
overtrading, and to the consequent excesses and revul
sions which so often disturb the regular course of com
mercial affairs. "Whv have we so small an amount of
specie in circulation? Certainly the only reason is
because we do not require more ! "We have but to ask
its presence and it would return. But' we voluntarily
banish it bv the trreat amount of small bank notes. In
most of the States the banks issue notes of all low de
nominations, even to a single dollar. How is it possible,
under such circumstances, to retain specie in circulation.'
All experience shows it to be impossible. T he paper
will take the place of the gold and silver. V hen Mr.
Pitt, in the year 1797, proposed, in Parliament, to
authorise the Bank of England to issue one pound notes,
Mr. Burke lay sick at Bath of illness of which he never
recovered, and he is said to have written to the late Mr.
Canning : Tell Mr. Pitt that, if he consents to the is
suing of one pound notes, he must never expect to see a
guinea again.' "

European Officers vrltk the Sepoys.
It is not a matter of surprise that the iutellkrence
from India, published on the continent of Furope, should
be more gloomy in its tenor than that which makes its
I appearance in the journals of Great Britain. On Some
, accounts the former would appear to be more reliable
than the latter ; lor it is evident enough to any one who
wul attentively read the London 1 lmes the press which
gives tone to this Indian business, as on many other
subjects of public moment, to the Euglish newspapers
that it is putting the best possible face on matters, and
endeavoring to inspire a confidence which it is far from
feeling. The continental papers have no interest in var
nishing the truth, and therefore might be looked to with
much of confidence, were it not that their prejudices
warp them. It is to be suspected that their predictions
of calamity to the British in India arc oftentimes fath
ered by the wish ; and the news put in circulation i to
be traced to the same paternity.
There is one part of the Indian advices received and
published at Paris, however, that we are disposed to
credit, and all the more so, since it was foreshadowed
long since in some of the English letters from the East.
The intelligence is to the effect that the mutineers are
under European generalship. There arc several circum
stances which render this not improbable ; and what is
more, every day that the rebellious Sepoys continue in
arms increases the liability of efficient European officers
being added to them. There are numbers of thorouo-hly
trained soldiers always to lie found floating about in
Europe, men who have received their professional educa
tion in some of the military schools of France or Ger
many, who arc ready for any service, however difficult
or dangerous, which will afford them profitable employ
ment, or plunder and license. At present Europe is at
peace, and the great continental armies are being reduced
to a peace footing. These military adventurers find
their occupation gone in the western world, and it seems
very likely that many will seek for occupation in India,
and those who do not find service with the British will
join the Sepoys, by whom, no doubt, they would be joy
ously welcomed. Through one secret avenue or another
it is represented that the insurgents have already received
important acquisitions of European officers.
In order to estimate the perils which must arise to the
British, if such really be the fact, it must be remembered
that the Bengal army, composed mainly of high caste
Hindoos, Brahmins, and more largely of Rajpoots, Ro
hillas, and other high castes, soldiers by profession, have
distinguished themselves under British lead in many a
hard fought field. The men of whom the Bengal army
is composed are much superior in soldier-like "qualities,
intelligence, and courage, to those of the southern Presi
dencies, and are also physically superior. If they can
but be furnished with that European lead to which they
are accustomed to look, they will make an extremely
formidable enemy. And if the agencies that are admit
ted by the British themselves to be at work amongst
the native regiments of the Madras and Bombay Presi
dencies, should be successful in iuduciug a revolt if the
mutiny that has now spread through the whole of Ben
gal and the Northwest Provinces, should also extend to
central, southern and western India, the gloomiest pre
dictions for the British that have yet been" made would
be realized, ine probability is, that everything will
depend upon the arrival in India of the reinforcements
that have been dispatched from Great Britain. Already
small bodies of troops had begun to arrive at Calcutta
and Bombay, and seemed to have cheered the European
residents to an extent proportionate to their limited
numbers. But these are regarded as an earnest that
more are on the route, and that India is not forgotten at
home." Doubtless the Sepoys will suffer discouragement
as the European spirit rises, for when left to themselves
they have a great awe of Europeans, and this awe is
the most important auxiliary the British have in India.
Without its aid they could not long hold the ground they
stand on.
At the last advices the greatest anxiety respecting the
fate of Gen. Havelock was felt, both in Calcutta and
Great Britain. It is known that he had a second time
fallen back to Cawnpore after his small force had been
redufd hy sifiknooe to locc tlmn half Us nuuiuer. J lis
gallant little army had displayed almost incredible ac
tivity, and fought, it is said, more battles, with uniform
success over an enemy greatly superior in numbers than
was ever before fought in the same time. Especially
the Highland regiment had awakened by its dash and
achievements the memory of the best days of Scotland.
But men of northern race fighting to the waist in water,
exposed to heavy rains at night, amidst rice swamps,
without any shelter, and to the glare of the almost ver
tical sun of an Indian midday cannot long live. Disease
has done to Gen. Havelock's army what the enemy could
not, and he has been forced to abandon his attempt for
the relief of the garrison at Lucknow. It now seems to
be apprehended that no assistance can reach Lucknow
in time to save it ; and as for Gen. Havelock it was rep
resented that the enemy was moving on him from three
quarters in overwhelming force, completely enclosing
him from Oude, from Gwalior on the west, and Dina
pore on the southeast. This was about August lGth,
while the Secretary of the government of India, writing
on the 23d of August, says that rein for cements could
not reach him in less than ten days.
The Times htus only the cold comfort to give, that no
new horrors can reach British cars ; that the catalogue
of torture and insult has been exhausted ; and the next
intelligence, if it be calamitous, can but be a repetition
of what has has already occurred. Xot very soothing,
this, to those who have sons, husbands, daughters, broth
ers, sisters, in India. But notwithstanding the concert
ed movement of the mutineers on Cawnpore, which looks
exceedingly like European generalship lor the native
officers, though good regimental ones, arc incapable of
concerting and conducting the large and important com
binations of a campaign the British cause is by no
means utterly desperate in Bengal. If Delhi were once
captured, and the British army lefore it free to operat
eisewnere, anu especially wun remiorccuients arriving,
we should hear news very different in character from that
which now drives the blood from the ordinarily ruddy
cheeks of John Bull.
Tiie Custom House Robbery at Richmond.
Wheeler and Sonierville, the two robbers of the Rich
mond (Va.) Custom-House, have been committed for
trial. The amount of the stolen money recovered is
said to be $17,180, leaving a little over $3,000 to be ac
counted for. It appears that Wheeler, in pursuance
of an agreement with the officers that he should after
wards be released, pointed out the spot in Richmond
where the money stolen from the custom-house had ljoen
buried by himself and his associate Sonierville. The
money was found under a wooden house, on the north
side of Broad street, near the stone arch, (over Khooko
Creek,) and m the creek. Alter the money had been
secured, the prisoner was released, according to agree
ment, but he was re-arrested by police officer Boss, a
short time afterwards, as he was about to proceed South
on the Petersburg cars, lie was lorthwith taken lx;tore
the mayor and with his confederate committed. A let
ter to the Petersburg Express says that bomerviile has
made a confession in jail. He says that Wheeler pro
posed the robbery to him, and he at first refused, but
fanally agreed to act as sentinel while heeler pertormed
the work. The bolt of the front door, he says, was for
ced back, and an entrance thus effected. The blowing
open of the safe made but little noise, and the booty was
carried off without detection. The robbery was perpe
trated about one o'clock in the morning. Bait. Sun.

Burglary Next Door. The clothing Store of
Hugh Graham, Esq., on the corner next to our office was
entered on last Sunday night, through the second story
window, and a quantity of goods abstracted. As it was
not stormy that night, and none but Americans were on
guard, the bold burglar must possess considerable eflront
ery or have a very contemptuous opinion of the efficien
cy of that watchful body of public guardians. He was
detected a day or two afterwards and i3 now in prison.
If some kind thief will steal some of our eld hopeless
accounts and collect them, we promise him half the prof
it, besides immunity from prosecution.

A Word to American Ladles.
We quote this sensible appeal to the women of Amer
ica from the columns of one of our best cotemporaries :'
" We arc in the midst of a great financial pressure.
Banks arc breaking, merchants failing, and old-established
firms suspending ' on very side. Onr fathers, broth
ers, and husbandd come Jome from Wall street and
Broadway with perplexed biows and doubtful faces, and
eye our housekeeping and shopping bills with anything
but an approving glance. Economize save retrench I
is the watchword of the hour.
" And it is our place, as women, to set the example of
reform in this matter. Therc is no country in the world
whore so much rcsjiect is accorded to women, and where
her social position is so exalted, as in the United States.
In all the records of the days of red-crosr, knisrhts and
olden tournaments, there is no such beautiful example of
chivalry as we have recently beheld in the sad shipwreck
of the Central America. In a country where women is
held in such an estimation as this, ought she to shrink
from any sacrifice necessary to maintain the standard ?
" But the reckless extravagance and emptv fnvohtv of
the modern fine lady constitute the surest mode of losing
this high national position. Look at the fashionable
women of 1837! She wears a silk robe which cost a
hundred dollars ; her 4 love of a fall hat ' was cheap at
fifty, aud she sports a set of Honitons at seventy-five.
She carries a small fortune round her wrists, dangling at
her tlivoat ciud gfloo-iaiLoor on hry fingers in the shape of
crosses, rings, and bracelets. She buys all the foolish
trinkets and extravagant trifles which happen to catch
her eye in the shop windows, aud caps the climax by
going into hysterics when her husband hints at retrench
ment ? Is this the beauideal of woman ?
" Our streets, ball-rooms, and places of public resort
are crowded with these walking advertisements ; general
emulation seems to prevail as to which shall sport the
most expensive silks and richest jewelry, and even the
more sensible and prudent, who have not moral courage
to declare independence, are drawn into the vortex of
extravagance. Nav, our very churches have" become
nothing more than show-rooms for the last new bonnet
and the latest moire-antique of the fashionable worship
ers. " We firmly believe that many of the failures in the
mercantile world are entirely owing to the recklessness
of woman, and the amount of misery, suicide, and dis
tress, for which she is thus indirectly culled upon to an-
swer, is perieetiy incalculable, man will endure al
most any degree of embarrassment before he will consent
that his wile shall deny herself an accustomed luxury, or
be exposed to the ridicule or censure ol her particular
clique.
' ow it is your plain and simple duty, ladies ot
America, to stand up by your husbands' sides, and help
them to bear the heavy pnissurc of tins great commer
cial crisis ! It is of no use to sit up in vour eletrant
budoir, clasping your jeweled hands together, and be
moaning your incapacity to act. Help to institute a
reform in the dress question, and your husband will have
some substantial proof of your sympathy and allcctiou.
Lay aside your costly velvet and brocades deny your
self that coveted winter bonnet turn your back reso
lutely upon every extravagance. A true woman never
looks lovelier than when arrayed in a simple callieo or
gingham dress, and a straw bonnet worth seventy-five
cents. Y hat it the Mrs. Potiphars ot your acquain
tance pass by you with averted eyes ! haven't you the
moral courage to value their friendship at its proper
worth ? We respect the woman who, in these hard
times, dare appear in public dressed in the expensive
rainmcnt.
" Oh, for the good old times when one 1 best silk dress'
was the stand-by for years ! All that we need is some
lair leader ot the bcaumonde to take the helm and steer
a ship with calico sails .' The present time is an excel
lent opportunity tor the experiment, and we are quite sure
that the wise and sensible of the world will gladly wel
come the event of a dress reform."
Fanny Elssler.
Most of U3 remember Mademoiselle Fanny Elssler,
Lo cat Ko fashion, now Rf rommnn. nf nmttinfr Euro
pean for American Hoards. Her churegruphic career
was not long but it was extremely brilliant. Her beauty,
her grace, her elegance, the marked individuality of her
dancing, her wonderful talents as a mime, and her charm
ing, sprightly expressive face, made her universally pop
ular. Her fame, perhaps, acquired new interest to some
persons from the popular rumor which associated her
name with the ill-rated Duke de lieichstadtjson of Na
poleon and Marie Louise,) although she invariably as
sured her more intimate friends that it was an idle piece
n M a. il 1 t . i j Ti i .
oi gossip, wunoui me least lounuation. it was late m
1834 that r anny Elssler made her appearance m Paris,
and the history of her engagement is a rather curious
bit of stage history. Fanny, with her sister Thercse,
was playing at London when her fame reached France,
and the manager of the Grand Opera posted over to sec
on what foundation the rumors were raised. He came,
saw and was conquered. Mdlc. Fanny Elssler was very
anxious for an engagement at Paris. Mdllc. Thcresc
was afraid of that city, and these indecisions rendered
the manager's negotiations a very delicate affair. While
they were vacillating between a small salary, very ir
regularly paid, at London, and eight thousand doilarg,
and punctuality in Paris, he gave them a grand banquet
at the Clarendon Hotel, aud served them up, with a de
sert, a silver dish, containing forty thousand dollars
worth of jewels and diamonds, which was handed round
to the guests as if it contained so many pea nuts. The
sisters selected each one uf the most modest trinkets in
the dish though these bagatelles were worth two thous
and dollars a piece and to the gratification of the man
ager, signed an engagement after Mdllc. Therese's fears
had been satisfied by the insertion of a provision that
the engagement of three years might be ended at will at
the expiration of the first fifteen months. Mdlle. Thereso
did not come to America with her sister, and we are in
formed that we lost a great deal by her absence, as Mdlle.
Fanny was never so brilliant as when her sister was at
her side ! The two different talents completed each oth
er and made a harmonious group of an exquisite perfec
tion. Both ot these eminent daucers have retired Irom
the stage, the possessors of large fortunes. Mdlle.
Therese has been the wife (by a " morganatic marriage")
ot the Prince itoyal ol Prussia, and Mdlle. 1 anny Elss
ler married a wealthy physician of Hamburg.
National Productions. Nations are characterized
not more by their people than by their other aud interi

specimens" offered by several countries ; China has
tea, porcelain and long tailed mandinans ; Germany,

England has produced steatesmen, poets, orators, gen

American eagle whose sleepless eye watches over the
welfare of this mighty Republic, aud whose wings extend
from the Alleghanies to the Rocky chain on the West,
was rejoicing in his pride of place
Sthop, thar ! Sthop, I say ; vat has dis suit to do mit
