T We suppose our readers are aware that Span ish coins are about being crowded out of circu lation in this country. For several months this money bits been circulated in most of the cities of the Union at a depreciation. ' The Baliimort Sun complains lh.it the Spanish coin is taken at its nominnl vane in that city, and the conse quence is that the American coin Is fast disap pearing before the influx of the foreign coin. -The Editors say : " What is to be done 7 The answer is plain. Refuse to ''take it. It must conic to this as a necessary act of self-protection. Already ivc find that tho " Spanish " coin is rap i.lly Increasing here, and the American ns eer t;iinly disappearing. And in this wc aro serving tho convenience of other communities, most ab surdly at our own expense. If it is steadfastly refused as a general thing in our markets and by our principal homes of business, everybody will i.j)ote of what they have on hand at a present trifling loss, ard the thing win end. If it'goes on as it is we sh.ill presently find ourselves with no silver money but a deteriorated .foreign . coin, and iu due time our gold will give way' before it. Baltimore will become the common receptacle of this refuse currency, and in the end must bear an onorrnous proportion of Its deteriorated raluo." THE KIN3T0N ADVOCATE. It appears that it is impossible fur us to be un derstood by our nt lghbor of the Adrocale. We know very well what wo mean, but we suppose that U of no coDM-qucncc unless we can hnpress others with our idea. We copy the whole of hi tiuiice; Right or St cEtcmx. We have, for some time been doing our best to gel tho Wilmington Com Ms Tcial to inform us, and (he public,' how it was, and whence it was derived, that there exists in a Stale the right 10 accede for canst, but that Ihr same right "cannot postibly ttist" in the came sov ereign lo secede at wilt. An important principle in our government machinery, i involved nod we would like to understand it. Plate's rights fi lends of riu', who are "warm advocates of the right of scccsMon," are, like us, on this point, unable to undersiand it. Neither tbey nor wo 'understand bow a Siate may by sovereign right secede for cause, and yet bare no authority, 1:0 right lo dclcr nine as to that caua. We do yet, as heretofore, respect f 11. ly - lmdst that as this is an important feature in our repub lican ) stem f government, that the editor of the Commercial explain It, so that all may com prehend it. For it is a myttery that ha not been sol red 10 the satisfaction of very many, even of the friends of the rltrht of secesfion. Our own opinion is that if a Klate baa a light to secede a!, all, clear and indisputable, with no power or au thority to call her act ion iu ques'loo. she fias by tu'COHity, tliu right lo decide n it, and therefore tho riflit to secede at will. If Ibis position be er roneous, wc wish the error shown. Wc have over an ! over again tried to show that to claim the right to ncccde al will, without furth er qualifications of the sentcne, implied the right to do so at the mere whim or caprice of the party. edl because teJl, i not the proper phrase in w hich to place Southern Rights. , Tho light to secede wit'jout cause' is denied; becaoae it Is a breach of contract or agreement, and ia morally and politically wrong. We fear our noijb bor docs not make a procr distinction between right and jmver. A sovereign State has thepower to secede without a eaose, but she baa no more rihl to do so than Individual have to break con tracts at will, or nations to abrogate treaties at will. We will likely tako'uu "the whole matter shortly, and may make ourselves understood. DABINO ATmiPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. August, Geo , May 27. We are informed by a gentleman of L0rano that a daring: attempt at highway robbery Was" made upon the person of Mr. Wm.

Correspondence ol the Commercial. New York, May 26, 1857 Tbia is the first cheerful day of the week, Till to-day we have had clouds overhead, rivers underfoot, aod between both an att&osphrre of which "aqueous vapor" formed ur more than the proper prportion.M Uod r. the influence of aocb weather, all the wheels of onr mnltitndinons life have moved slowly, or grown rusty for want of motion. Downtown there was-.desolation ; the lords of the great warehouses tarried lata over their savory breakfasts, leaving sub-clerks and porters to sttend to any chance customers whose wjuIs should drive thera abroad in spite of a wind and rain which laughed umbrellas to scorn. The pring Irsde in dry goods is closing very unsatis factorily. We have bad high pi ices for raw ailk, wool, colt n and flax, while the demand for fab rics has been nnnsoally limited, owing to the un favorable aspect of spring we t her, and tie tight ness in t bo Western money market.' There has been considerable dicnssk this week as regards the propriety of publishing Ibe failures in the bu siness community. This is tar less objectionable than the system f espohrase which the three "Commercial Agencies" of this city have estab lished throughout tho coaiitr. Their reports most natnrally be influenced to a great extent by the connections or pirjudjees of the, agents through w hom they obtain information as regards the standing aod prospects of thousands of amsll Arms scattered alt over the country. Mot of our merchants subscribe to all three of th sgencies and compare al) the reports before deciding 0-1 the character of a Customer. Tbey frequently differ very mater. ally in their statements. The bulk of the reports hoxtver, are ratber In the-non-cttnniittsjYe eff the Delphic oracle, and will bear a doobrexonstruction. The cbk-f ad vantage obtained from the agenciea is in the ear ly forwarding of actual failures, which often pre vents heavy loases to onr rotrcbaots. There are still some slavers fitting ont from thi-port- nbicb contrive to elude all the s-igilance of Marshall RyndeH.

They were a patriot stock, their father baviflg done revolutionary and warrior sefvice, in the war of independence.

It has seldom fallen to our lot to record a more distressing or singular case of shooting than one that occurred yesterdayjnorniog, about 10 o'clock, at a bouse 00 Lee street, near China street, in the southern section of tbe city. Tbe parties concern ed are both boys, and the. oldest is not over sev enteen years of age.- The facta in the ease ap pear to be these : A youth named John Richards, who resides with his parents at the house where the deed was committed, had a difficulty some time since with another boy named Joseph Har vey, who lives with hia mother in Warren street, back of Entaw street, and tbey were separated iu consequence. According to the statement of young Harvey, as be was yesterday morning pas sing the house of Richards, on hia return from an errand, he was called in by the latter, who said there was nobody home but himself, and he want ed to show him (.Harvey) something. He then went up stairs and returned with a loaded revol ver, which he presented to Harvey's face, at the same moment asking bim to look at it, which he did, and whilst Harvey was unsuspectingly look ing into the barrels, Ttichards, with bia finger on the trigger, raised the hammer Und it felt, explo ding tbe charge and driving a slug deep into bia face. I It entered on the right aide of the nose, and passing through tbe roof of the mouth, lodged in the back of tbe neck. Tbe boy did not immedi ately fall, but blinded by blood, groped bis way from the bouse by the back gate, and crossed the street before the persons collected by the ' report of the pistol became aware of tbe wound inflicted npon him, the general supposition being that the blood came from a bleeding nose. It was only ben he farctcd and fell that the discovery was made, when be was carried to his home, and Dr. "W. C. Kioman sent for. who probed the wonnd but failed to extract the slug. - As soouv as Richards saw what he Lad done lie attempted to escain by climbing over into a neighbor's raid. 'He was i umediatery taken into custody by officer Car roll, of the' soothers district, and brought before Justice Webb, who, after bearing the evidence in tbe case, committed him to jail To await the ac tion -of the grand jury. The wound of yonng Har vey is very serious, but it ia tbe opinion of the surgeon that death will not immediately ensue. As regards tbe Culpability of the accused, he con tends that tbe shooting was accidental, whilst on the other band it Is.alleged that it was a premedi tated act. There-are no witnesses to the affair.
