The stoppage dl the Savings Bank, the threatened default in interest on public debt, and tub almost total lack of hard cash throughput the country, form a condition of affairs quite without parallel, and people are beginning to speculate very disagreeably as to what may happen in the colonies, if reckless and spendthrift administration and excessive borrowing become a rule of pracf ice. Assuredly the disaster is ( one which ought to furnish a whole-, some mora lesson to New Zealand, I
