Its great admirers and slaves were los-

People looked around_ for a safer invest-
ment. Land was suggested, and gold,
hid away for years, was brought to
light, and -invested in land. There is no
other insta-nce in the world where con-
fidence in gold was so completely shaken.
But so far as Canada, at all events, was
concerned, there was another influence
at work. About that time (1849,) the
first railway that was ever built in Up-
per Canada -the Northern -was opened.
The engines, puffing and whistling up
through York and Simcoe, sent a thrill
through the Province. Then! followed
the Great Western and the Grand
Trunk. The atabunt of money, those
roads put into cirentation in Canada Was
immense: Every one had money, and.
the all absorbing question was how to
invest it, or what to do with it. Land
was considered the only thing secure.
The railroads had changed the course of
travel, -and, in some wayk the idea be-
came prevalent that a citf was to grow
up at every railway station. Surveyors
an lithographers were in requisition.
Farms were laid out into cities, and puff-
ed and advertised everywhere. Slee
took place; excited crowds madly bid-
ding to secure corner lots, before it were
yet too late._ The man who owned only
a piece of worthless tamarack swamp
yesterday, was considered worth fa,ncied.
thousand t to -day. A shoddy, or a spu-
rious aristoceacy, arose in Canada.
There was no end to our imaginary
prosperity. The Russian war, just then
occurring, added fuel to the flame, and
the curious spectacle was witnessed of
nearly whole communities, becoming
crazy at once. -A few sober, sensible
people, here and there, tried. to stem the
current; but it was useless. Even they
were borne into the wildewhirlpool, like
Walpole at the time of the "South Sea
Bubble." But Sebastapol fell. The
-wasteful expenditure of War was in -
In the Globe of the 4th inst., there is -
a report of a lecture, delived in ,Toronto,
by Mr. George Hague, on Commercial
Panics. If Mr, Hague is correctly re-
ported, he only.took a very superficial
view, indeed, of this interesting and
ithportant subject. Its antiquity is very
great; much more so tha,u Mr. nape
appears to suppose, and th causes of

f'f0
pantos are most varied, and ten amus-
ing, as .well as grave. In some cases
they do not extend beyond a country,
generally they spread over a whole
co tiuent, and more or less affect every
cidllized community in the world.
Such was the famous "South See Bub-
ble," which ruined thousands, and sent
hundreds of fancied millionaires to an in-
sane asylum. A sketch of this remark-
able panic would be interesting. if I did
not feel that nearly all your readers
must be acquainted with it. At another
time a panic commenced in Holland, and
speedily extended to Great Britain, and
all through Europe, regarding tulip
roots -a queer cause for a commercial
panic. But a man's wealth, at that
time, was estimated by the quantity and
quality of the tulips he possessed. Peo-
ple becifme crazy on the subject, as, in-
deed, they do in regard to every panic.
In several idstances 1G has been stated
that hundreds of pounds were paid for a
single tulip root. reople sold much of
their property to buy the coveted roots.
But the decline of the panic was as sod.
den and as mysterione as its rise. The
roots so much in demand lost their
value.. People looked on them with
contempt, aud in this day. it is difficult
to conceive thet anything of the kind
ever occurred. In a decade or two after
the tulips, there was a panic about fancy
walking sticks, which ran a brief period,
and then suak into oblivion. There
were several other great panics, but
space barely allows to allude to them.
To write of them all would be to write a
ldrge book. There - was the great Rail-
way panic, in England, when Hudson
was 'king." At one time that man was
considered worth minim's, nay, hun-
dreds of millions of dollars, yet he died
in abject obscurity, unhonored and un-
sung. There were panics about mining,
about banks and joint-stock companies,
of various kinds, and, strange to- say,
even about asses -about hi) porting Span-
ish asses to improve the breed ot mules.
About ten years the.re was a panic
of some kind; but not always of na-
ture to prove commercially disastrous.
People seem never inclined to learn from
the past. Nearly all of us can remem-
ber a small panic about Shanghai roost-
ers, and what very high prices were paid
for the birds and the eggs. I have seen
refined ladies not ashamed to carry the
xiasty and ungainly birds m their arms
through the streets of one of our greatest
cities. But that absurdity is almost
wholly forgotten now. The panic, how-
ever, with which the public are best
acquainted, is the great ic of
1856-57. Mr. Ilague O.ppears to at-
tribute this panic to over speculation in
land. That was an effect -not e cause.
if ever there was a panic that apparent -
ment for life. It is generally believed in
,the neighborhood that he had no inten-
tion of murdering his victim.
