The failure of this strong com mercial house was owing to the col lapse of the Union Bank of London, with whioh Duncan, Sherman & Co. transacted a large amount of foreign business. The house was also involved in unfortunate railroad -- and cotton transactions. Its liabilities are put down at nearly 46,000,000; its assets are not yet -- determined. The effects of this failure will be wide spread. Up ? to the time of its suspension there was no doubt of its solvency, as it was one of the oldest banking bouses in the country and ? correspondence. Happily the .panio which the failure created -- in Wall, Street, is not likely to. affect us directly, as & Co. had but one Duncan, corresponding house on the Pacific Coast, namely -- the First National Ooldjtalk of San Francisco, which is all right at present.

Quite a number of newspapers have finished the trial now in progress at Beaver, have made up their verdict and pronounced judgment, or rather promulged sentence, for there is very little judgment, to fay nothing of justice, in their conclu &ions. From the testimony of one or two witnesses, without waiting for or testimony that may be brought in rebuttal, they not only bring in a verdict of guilty against the acccused, but go beyond this premature and unfair decision, and advocate violence and murder against men who are not oa trial.
