Northern financial Crisis. A correspondent from Norfolk, who has the opportunity of reading the Northern papers, writes as follows: "The financial crisis in the North is increasing. There will be a break down soon that will throw the great "Mississippi bubble' in the shade. The banks of New York have a capital (total 54 banks in the city) of $69,493,577. They have loaned the Government $72,500,000. Thus you will see the New York banks have loaned the Government $3,006,423 more than their capital. No wonder a crisis is imminent! In the Legislature at Harrisburg, Penn., there was a caucus in which forty-seven Democrats refused to go with the Government. There were only seven Union Democrats. Mr. Gallat in boldly charges Secretary Chase with fraud and a violation of obligation with regard to finance. Go on fighting, Oh Yankees Wonderful people! What a pack of Kilkenny cats.'"

Arrivals from Kentucky. Two ladies--one of them the wife of Judge Moore, of the Confederate Congress, and the other the wife of Mr. Southall, of the Purcell battery--arrived in this city on Sunday afternoon by the Central train. They left their homes in Mt. Sterling, Ky., on the 9th of July, and traveled alone from that point to Richmond. Their route was through Pitsburg and Harrisburg, Pa., to Baltimore, where they remained for nearly two weeks. Whilst there they made several ineffectual efforts to obtain passports for Staunton, which were positively refused them by Gen. Wool. Finding that it was impossible to obtain Federal permission to reach the Confederate lines, they determined to visit Winchester, in the hope that its early evacuation by the enemy, or recapture by our forces, would enable them to reach their point of destination, without the necessity of again applying for passes to the agents of the Lincoln tyranny. Winchester being within the lines of the enemy, the

l Alien would allow them to take the seven horses captured yesterday, but he "could not see it." One horse was identified and reclaimed by the owner. All is quiet here and along the lines of the army to-day. Much mortification is felt at the successful escape of the rebels from the nets that were spread for them. The following wild dispatches, though not as late as the one from Frederick, are worth reading, to show the panic produced by the rebel advent in Pennsylvania: Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 13.--A dispatch, just received, says the rebels are at Cashtown, Adams county, and may attempt to pass by the Mountain road South; perhaps by the Shippensburg road, or maybe by the Greencastle road. About sixty rebel cavalry are just reported by one of our officers to be in the neighborhood of Fayetteville, six miles East on the pike. They seem to have been scattered, and are evidently tresting We are amply prepared for them, and every one appearing will be fired as at

Another report represents that a considerable Confederate force crossed into Maryland a day or two since, at Boteler's Ford, near Shepherdstown. A different party brings the news that the Capitol at Harrisburg, Pa., had been burned by the Confederates. I receive and give the statement as one which may or may not be true. A gentleman of this vicinity has just received letters from Maryland, stating that considerable difficulty had arisen in Baltimore between the Unionists and men of Southern sentiments, and that the Provost Marshal had been killed, but the precise nature or extent of the difficulty I cannot learn.
