The. -notices to the pablic, howeviae are not to the effect that it is a permanent iota - pension, hut it says, "for the present" Whether or not the Bank will resume operation, is debated in many welf in- formed quarters. But as Banks exist on "Public Confidence," we opine that the hope scarcely can be entertained Lor its ever again regaining position. 'Still there is every reason to believe, • that, Depositors, and Bill and Stock- holders will not lose by the failure, for by the last published statement, which • was buta few weeks since, we find its t •ASsets, - , - $3,750,243 - =: - 2,307,580 These figures being correct, the bank is of cours'e perfectlysolvent. It is true, that such statements 'have in the cases ot the "Bank of UppettCanada," and the "Commercial," proved anything • hut reliable, eas•they, were holders a, "real, estate," in large quantities upon which ridiculous high valuations were placed . This,. however, does not apply in the' present case, as the "Royal Ca- nadian" h ol ds but a very limited quoit - .L tity of this sort of property.' The only deduction to be made from. the assetts, it the amount of bad debts, it is not supposed Will exce8d $200,000, which' will still give a surplus after paying all liabilities. We hope snchis.the case. The primary cause of this failure undoubtedly is, bad inalea,gentent, un- warra,nted favoritisiii, resulting in heavy losses, end at the same time having to cortend with the' Monopolizer, ' the . Bank of •Montreal, and still More re- aeptly the com-munications of Mr. M� - Donald, which while they showed up general tinismeatagentelit, they were putable' evidence, that the writer was equally guilty with his brother, di- rectors. - The COurIty of litiron will feel .the ceash as .severely as any- other part of the Province, for out of the four Banks doing busineas in this County, three of there are branches of the , Royal Chin, adian, consequently, those bills largely predominate; and the ten- dency wiltle to rnake money. "tighter" than ever. - We ace not anticipate its being anything but a temporary state though. So far as Seaforth is concerned, we .understand that a movement is already on foot for the establishment of e branch of the 'Merchants Bank, with every, prospect of success.. In the evert of which we are sure that- the LUSineSS men will endorse us in sayieg, we hope M. P- Hays, Esq.,- will be ap- pointed to the ageney. THERE is trouble anticipated from the grant given to the Neva Seotiens by the present Government. 'It is said that the representatives for Ontario and Quebec will not sustain those grants unless a corresponding amount is deducted from the excess of their debt over $62,300,000: The position taken by the Opposition in -thia case 'that the Government had no right to depart from the .Confederatien, Act. We trust this view of the question will be sustained. Although- Ontario is fir the richest Provinee,r: she has her rights equally with any other:, )and any thing like a spoliation of her resourdes either to enrich: or pacify the Lower Provinces, is evidently unjust Cont federation Was suphosed to be mutually adyiantageons; If so, equalrights sh.o'd be guaranteed to all, and exclusive proll(1,0 1 • THE ALABAMA (MAIMS. Senator Sumner's great speech on the Alabama Claimehae ex.cited no smell comment in the English Press—the mejority accepting it as meaning wale From the thee of this speech anti the response 1]chit has elicited, there is evert indication of unpleasant feelings between England and the United States. When Reverdy Johnson, in Ms after dinner speeches, talked in such wowing terms of the amicable re- bitimis existing between the two come - tries, and the desire on the part of America that they should continue, it was supposed that he was honestly re- presenting the true feelings of the Americana. It is considered now, however, that his speeches 'were mere "buncorribe"—a suippotition whice is pertly juttified by the adieu- of the Congress on the esolutions .vIii,cli he prepared. Did the Au e icai s desire -a settlement of this vexatious question, they. would certainlybe . . • mote leason- .: Able in their demands. . It sounds ab- surdly ridiculous to incltule in .the es- timate of damages inflicted by the Ala - bailee the expense incurred by what is 1 . - said i� be the unnecessary prelongetion of' the war. The, profit which might be. made out of the destroyed vessels ie another item, equally a,bsurch Such arithmetical ingenuity—though it may indicate ,the sharp Yankee, appeals bilt very bluntly to the British statesman. , , .. Besides-, the absurdity of the claim,' there is a • lack of generosity about Sumner's' speech, which docs little cae ditto his manliness or his love of jus - the). From beginning to end thme is not a single allusion made to the decid- ed position taken by England regardig the Southern States. Though' she ackuowleclged to them *bell igereet rights she would not acknowledge their inde- pendence, even though solicited to do so by her own ally—France. Had she acceded-. to this repiest what would have been the result? Would :,..the American Republic be the same gleti- ous whole that it is now represented to be'? Would she be receiving into ber coffers the duties hew, collected in Southern ports'? Would not the pres- tige which she receives from her terri- torial extent be materially diminished, and that power which popylation im- parts, be also materially unwired.? If Britain is to be charged so many mil- lion pounds sterling , for unnecessarily proti•acting the war, why not balance the account, ce at least credit her teith the fact that her conduct has prevented the triumph of the Southern States 7 Surely the _preservation of the -Union is.'full -value for the depredations of (me man-of-war; We fear that the .rapid progress of the United. States has de- veloped a sp!rit of meanace if not of audacity quite incompatible with, its resources. England will certainly not allow her dignity to be compromised one iota. The dicided, position taken in the "Trent". affair will be taken now if necessary, even to the arbitrament of the sword. She is evedeetly desirous of peace. It would be ruinous to her commerce - to declare war with Arne- iican. It would also be sad as regards the ciyililation of both countries. Hen- ry Ward Beecher slid long ago that war with England etrould be treason 'i,o _ , Christianity.. But ellth ugh this is all true, still her rightslinu be maintain- . ed, and that nation who interfereawith them must abide the result. • THE suppression by the Italian Gov- ernment of the traffic in organ boys, will be considered by the merchants,in- terested in its perpetuation, a grinding exaction. t But it is a good thing for the boys, however bad for their organs. Henceforth it will be illegal, .under heavy fines and penalties, to send abroad boys under sixteen years of age, even though their parents should permit them. A quantity of cheap music and a variety of old times will henceforth be missed in various quarters of the globe; but the Italian child will be saved the instrumental degradation, and good music and humanity will be the gainers. The Italian law has de- cided that organ -grinding is, in certain respects, inhuman, and we are not sur- prised to hear it. Obituary..

LAWSON'S report •on the route to the Red River Settlement, advises the connection cf the navigable lakes and.rivers by short railroads involving an immediate outlay ° of $250,000. These railroads could be so constructed as -to be afterwards connected and thus rut a continuous Hee between Toronto and Fort Garry, involving an -expense, of $5,800,000. Between Thunder Bay and the Restern extremity of naviga- tion a canal might be constructed with but little difficuIty. The expense of freight by this road from Canada would be only five and a half dollars per ton, by American railrohd it ;would be nine- teen and a half. !,The distance would. also be diminished by over 400 miles 4.
