Commercial Ad-vertiser, under date of Dec. 18th, in speaking of the recent financial storm in that country, says "Meetings of creditors of various failed firms continue to take place daily in London and elsewhere. In two cases out of three, the balance sheets show a system of reckless trading to an extent wholly unsuspected by the public and it must be added that in a very considerable proportion there are strong evidences of the infamous accommodation bill system having been largely resorted to. At Glasgow, the revelations of this kind have been astounding. One firm, who are largely indebted to the Western Bank of Scotland, are shown to have drawn bills to an amount equal to $1,900,000, on about seventy or eighty people in London or elsewhere, all of whom were mere imposters.

In most cases, the letters of the Western Bank demanding pavment, have been oilmen. In South Boston, 2d intt, by Rev. Mr. FairchUd, Mr. Peleman H.

After the presentation of some reports from committees, the President's message was taken up in committee, and speeches on the neutrality question were made by several members. Kansas. The following dispatch was received from Cincinnati, oh Monday The St Louis Democrat says that passengers report that on Friday, the 25th ult, news reached Leavenworth that an engagement had taken place between the troops of Lane, at Sugar Mound, and the Dragoons. The officers ordered Lane to surrender, which he refused to do. The Dragoons then charged, but were repulsed with a loss of three of their number.

The Dragoons retired and sent to Gov. Denver fur reinforcements. Denver ordered four companies of Dragoons to the seat of war, and it was expected that there would be bloody work. As soon as the news of the engagement was received, the people commenced organizing, and were hurrying to assist Lane. It was expected that before the Dragoons arrived Lane would be reinforced to the number of 2500 men.

The excitement was intense, and the people of Lawrence were preparing to take the field. Gen. Calhoun hud fled from the Territory. One of the gentlemen who passed through Lawrence on Friday, saw Sen. Lane and Gov.

Robinson, in that town. They were mounted and completely armed, and appeared much excited. They were addressing the people, who surrounded them in large numbers, and urging them to maintain their rights and succor their friends. The above intelligence has not been confirmed, and is to be received with caution. The AVash-ington correspondent of the Tribune writes The War Department has received no intelligence confirming the collision with the troops in Kansas, and the report is discredited.

They telegraphed to St. Louis to-day without obtaining further information. Private letters to the 24th, written by persons from Gen. Lane's camp, induce the belief that bloodshed was imminent. It is supposed here that the hostile attitude of both parties and the reinforcements sent to Lane would affect the result of the election of Monday, otherwise twelve thousand majority is expected against the Lecompton constitution.

J. W. Denver had hardly got warm in his seat as acting Governor of Kansas, when the following paragraph appeared in the Lecompton Star, a pro-slavery sheet "Denver has given up the arms of the Territory to the outlaws from Lawrence. The very first act is a yielding to the rebellion. Our opinion may be an impulsive one, but we think this is the straightest backing out we have ever heard of.

Denver will be decapitated." Washington Gossip. The New York Times correspondent says that although the Yrissarri Treaty has not yet returned from Guatemala, he feels authorized to say that it will never safely pass the ordeal of ratification by the Senate, at least not in its present shape. The objections to it are many. Among the most serious is the fact that it must be construed either as an abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Convention, or as a violation of that instrument, or as a new ratification of it, with a practical interpretation of it. The Herald correspondent says, instructions of a peremptory character were despatched South on collectors, district attorneys, marshals, against the departure of fillibustering expeditions, and to rigidly enforce our neutrality laws.

The people of Minnesota have adopted a State Constitution and elected State officers and a State Legislature. The government is all ready to go into operation, and the Legislature has assembled at St Paul, but there matters come to a stand, for the reason, that nothing can be done until Congress admits Minnesota as a State.

The Lowell Advertiser of Monday gives the annexed particulars of the murder of Joshua Heath, of Dracut, by his son and daughter, on Saturday night last: Frank Heath, and his sister, Miriam York Heath, living in the farther part of Dracut, known as Black North, about seven miles from Lowell, were arretted, this afternoon, by Messrs. Butter-field and Shed, deputy sheriffs, for the murder of Joshua Heath, their father, last Saturday night It seems that Mr.

Heath, the old gentleman, was a blacksmith, somewhere between sixty and seventy years of age, and was of intemperate habits. He and his children, who lived together, were often quarrelling; they complained, especially the daughter, of his striking or beating them. According to the daughters confession, she had endeavored to poison him, by giving him tea made of Apple Peru, which he drank, as she thinks, in sufficient quantities to cause death, if he had been let alone. But the son, on Saturday night, shot him through the head, whilst he was sitting in his chamber, and towards morning, buried him in the shop, by digging a hole in the ground sufficiently deep to receive his naked body, and covering him over with earth. As both say, the work of burying was done yesterday.

This morning when inquiries were made for the old gentleman, they finally confessed that they had murdered him. They seem to have had but a very faint conception of the enormity of the offence of which they have been guilty, and as yet have spent but very little time in grieving over their detection, or in lamenting the awful consequences. A coroner's inquest was summoned, and returned a verdict that the deceased "came to his death by the wilful act of his son, Francis E. Heath the daughter, Miriam Y. Heath, being accessory before and after the act." Mysterious Loss of a Boat's Crew.

Nine Men Missing Two Bodies Recovered. C. Mears Co. are largely engaged in lumber ope-tions on the other side of the lake, where they have a large number of men employed. Mr.

Mears writes from Little Saubie that on Christmas day, about 3 P. a large fishing boat with a crew in charge, was despatched by him from Little Saubie to Pent Water, 15 miles. About noon of Saturday, the boat drifted on the bar off Pere Maquette, with two of the crew lying dead under the thwarts but no traces to be found of the rest of the crew or the remainder of the cargo. The mast of the boat was un-stepped, but still stood nearly upright. The whole party of nine men would seem to have perished, but through what means is most incomprehensible.

The night was by no means a severe one, the lake was smooth, and the men were all experienced sailors and reliable men but apparently not one survivor is left to tell the tale. A few of the lighter articles composing the boat's cargo have since drifted ashore, a few oars, boxes ands trunk; but nothing gives any clue to the probable fate of the entire unfortunate crew. Chicago Press. Another Officer Murderously Assaulted. In this city, on Saturday evening, officer William Prescott, of the 1st Police, arrested a young rascal about half past six o'clock, for stealing a cap from Higgins' store in Merchants' Row, and while conducting the thief through Blackstone Street, on his way to the station-house, his prisoner drew a knife and struck him a severe blow on the left breast, inflicting a very severe and dangerous wound just above the heart.

At the same moment a fellow who is supposed to be an accomplice of the thief and assassin, seized officer Prescott from behind, and threw him violently upon the sidewalk, thus forcing him to release his hold of his prisoner, who together with the accomplice escaped. Mr. Prescott had bis right leg broke in two places by the fall, and for a time was supposed to be in a critical state, but is now more comfortable. The assailants of Mr. Prescott were arrested on Mondiy.

They prove to be boys 16 or 17 years of age, named Thomas J. Barrigan and Daniel Nolan. Flower Farms. The Paris correspondent of the Journal of Commerce furnishes these facts concerning modern efforts to perfect the science of perfumery. He says "The most novel and remarkable feature of the present manufacture of perfumes, is the establishment of flower farms.

Some of the fairest spots of Europe and Asia are devoted to the cultivation of flowers, of which the fragance is no longer wasted on the desert air, but preserved for the enjoyment of all who choose to purchase it. Flowers have taken the place of ambergris, musk, civet and the odoriferous gums, which are now only used to give stability to the more evanescent scents. There are flower farms in Europe and Asia and another is likely to be created in Australia for the cultivation of the wattle, a plant of the acacia genus, and resembling in odor very powerful violets. England has her flower farms at Mitcham, in Surrey, where lavender and peppermint flourish unrivalled. Roses are also cultivated there, but only for the purpose of making rose water." Charles Fenno Hoffman.

We observe a notice going the rounds of the press that Charles Fenno Hoffman, tjie celebrated poet, who has for some time been an inmate of the Pennsylvania near our city, is lying dangerously ill. We are requested to state by Dr. Curwin, the efficient superintendent of the above named institution, that the report is without foundation. Mr. Hoffman, so far from being ill, is in the enjoy ment of most excellent health, and hopes are en tertained that at no distant day, with the treatment now observed, the distinguished gentleman may be restored to that position in society of which he was an intellectual ornament.

Harris burg Telegraph, Largs Fire in Boston. On Monday after noon a fire broke out in a small stable in the rear of a long row of wooden buildings on Charles- town Street, between Cooper and Stillman Streets. The fire raged fiercely, and before it could be subdued, the stable, and the block of buildings in front of it, were pretty thoroughly consumed. The building on Charlestown Street was occupied by three liquor dealers, two sash and blind dealers, and various mechanics, who saved a portion of their property in a damaged state. A horse was burnt in the stable.

The total loss is about $15,000. The origin of the fire is attributed to boys, who either purposely or carelessly set the table on fire. The Peasant Petticoat. A Washington paper in its account of the New Year's celebration furnishes the following paragraph, which will doubtless interest the fair sex "The lady promenaders on the Avenue, this morning, were somewhat horrified at the appear ance oi a aisnnguisneu loreigner, wno neia up ner dress so as to display an undoubted scarlet flannel under-skirt What an idea!

The Democratic State Committee met at Concord, on Monday, and adopted a scries of resolutions, in which they express their unshaken confidence in the popular sovereignty principle, affirm that the people of Kansas have the right of forming all their domestic institutions, and declare it as "the opinion of the Democracy of New Hampshire, that no constitution oughl to be imposed upon them, or the people of any other Territory, until it has received their express approval." After thus fully committing themselves to the Douglas heresy, these nimble politicians hop over to the other side of the fence, and proceed to express their "abiding confidence in the integrity, patri otism and statesmanship of President Buchanan and his Constitutional advisers, and in their fidelity to the great principles upon which they came into power."

Tni Farmers of Wisconsin in a Tight Place. One of the plans for building railroads in Wisconsin, has been to induce the farmers along the route of a road to be built, to mortgage their fai ms to the railroad company, and then the com pany sells the mortgages to raise the money, guaranteeing to pay the interest and the amount of the mortgage when due. It is said that from 2000 to 3000 farms are thus mortgaged to railroads in Wisconsin; that the railroads cannot pay, and to release their farms will strip nine-tenths of them of the hard earnings of many years.

Mr. Pugh asked and obtained leave to introduce a bill to provide for the admission of Kansas into the Union. The bill was referred to the Committee on Territories. Mr.
