Theatricals. Pauk Tuearne.—Last ovening, not a’large, but highly ashionable and discriminating au oe assembled at tho Park, om the occasion of the benefit of Mr. F. Gard- ner. The performances commenced with “ Lucy of Lammermoor,” which went off in the usual manner— Alter this, Mr. Gardner sang, in a very beautiful man- nor,the admired gem from the “Bohemian Girl,” “When the Fair Land of Polan This was most rapturously encored, After this, the musical farce of “The Water- man,” in which Mr. Gardner, as Tom Tug, sang three Supital songs, was played—and the evening closed with ‘Tho “ Spitolfields Weaver.” To-night, the sterling com. edy of the “ Voor Gentleman,” in which Mr. Placide ap pears as Cornet Ollapod, will he performed, with the far »es of the “ Double Bedded Room,” and “ Dumb Belle.” Boweny Trearne.—Yankee Hill was particulrly suc- cessful, last night, in sentation of Solomon Swap and Hiram Dodge, at this establishment, arid drew together an immense and highly gratified audience,— “Don Cxsar de Bazan,” one of the most popular p of receRt importation, concluded the performances o! the evening, and in which Mr. Scatt appeared with even more than his accustomed ability. So entirely and coin- pletely successful were these pieces, that the manage- ment, with an eye to the popular will, produces the same dill again to-night. Hern Avexanp: After an almost unparallele d suc, cess of three weeks, this wonderful necromancer of the Hartz Forest, leaves us this evening. Ever since he! been in this city, he has attracted to Niblo’s the mo: “ashionable audiences that our city can afford. He truly a genius; and his forte consists, not so much in mere deception and jugglery, asin the wonderful power which he seems to possess over his audience. He seems to have perfect control of them, and can do anything with them that he pleases. Not so much in his public, as his private performances, however, is the peculia! talent of Alexander exhibited. At a private party, o few evenings since, at the Astor House, the guests were very much surprised by Alexander's pulling nut-crack- “ers, silver forks, and other articles of value, from their breaste, so that somo one recommended to Stetson to take an inventory. When about ing, sevoral gen. tlemen found that a mutual exc! of svaiohes ti been made by the company, and they separated in gr ea We understand that Al inder leaves here for hiladelphia. The Philadelphians will receive him with open arms, and patronize him as he deserves. He posi- tively closes in this city to-night, and we predict a most crowded house at Niblo’s. Atuamna.—This charming little place of amusement continues to draw crowds nightly. There is hardly a place in this city whero an hour can be whiled'more pleaeantiy than at the ‘thatnra, Mr. TxmrLeron commences his musical entertainments atthe Tabernacle, on Monday evening next. All the beauty,’ fashion, and music lovers of New York, will, of course, be there. Ermorian Serunapers.—These knights of black faces and sweet strains,after a most successful tour through the South, make their re-appearance in this city, at Palmo’s, on Monday night. The strains of their sweet melody are till ringing in the ears of our citizens, and they will, of course, be gladly welcomed. 2r1n0%s Orena Comrany.—This fine company of sing- ers give three vocal concerts at Military Hall, Market street, commencing on Monday evening next. Onatonse or Samsox.—This magnificent comp of the immortal Handel, was performed lat the Tabernacle by the New York Sacred Music Sosiety, in the presence of at least five thousand persons. The house was so filled, that at least 500 were not ablo to to obtain seats, and were obliged to stand during the performance. As to the manner in which the Oratorio svas performed, it is sufficient to say that full justice was done to the immortal composer. Weucn axp Devevan’s Nationat Cincus—Sig. Jar ‘mani and Mr, Arthur Nelson made their first a] + a mgd on Wednesday night, at this circus in. Philade phia, to an immense house. They are said to be the very best in their line ever seen in this country, and their perform- ance was received with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Nel- son's performance on the dulcemo was encored, and the audience were enraptured with the beautiful strains he drew forth from this new instrument. “Putnam” was played for the third time in the National, and hailed as usual with peals of applause. North appears again in his delighttul trick act, on Monday night. MusicaL— Tu New German Orera.—We had the pleasure of listening, the other evening, to the first rehearsal of the new German operatic compa- ny recently formed for the production of the best Cerman operes, at Palmo’s elegant theatre, and we have no hesitation in saying, that it is the best troupe we have had, either Italian or French. All the members of the association are perfect musi- cians. Boucher, the tenor, has appeared with dis- tinguished success at the first theatres in Germany. Madame Otto, the prima donna, is well known and highly esteemed here. Md’lle. Korsinski is a very _ pretty girl, and a very sweet singer. The choruses will probably be fully formed in December, and we | ve no doubt that the season will be very brilliant. | will commence with “Der Fretschutz,” and | will give us “Don Giovanni,” and other operas,with ali the original seores, ramsmir Hinensia Asnore at Care Race, | TRREE DAYS AFTER LEAVING Ha.irax.—This fine | steamer went ashore svon after leaving Halifax, on her last trip to Liverpool. It appears by ths Selah Hutton, at Halifax on the I8th, that the homeward bound steamer Hibernia went ashore at Cape Race, Newfoundland, three | days after leaving Halifax She had put into St. Johns for repairs, and was to | ave ugain on Wednesday last, the 12th inst., for ane ‘The homeward bound stearpyer Caledonia, after ; leaving Halifax, was hailed by the Selah ; Hutton, but did not answer The alee wished to give information of the accident to the Hiberma. The following letter, published in the Hal:fax Post, gives a more full account of the accident: Sr. Jonns, N. F. Lan, 8th Nov. 1845, ‘The How. 8. CunaRD :— It is with regret that we bave to advise you of tne arrival here on ‘Thursday evening of the “Hibernia, in a | leaking state, he having struck on the Point of Cape | Race on Wednesday night at about 74 o'clock.in a dente | fog. On her arrival here, there being no Wock into | which she could put, and the pumps, with-yut the aid of the engines, not being found adequate to che discharge of the water, Capt. Ryrie deemed it oe essary to put her forefoot ashore, and having selected the most suitable place for this purp W's there placed. We send you @ newspaper giving @ brief report of the oc- currence. The damage done is cor,sidered by Capt. Ryrie to te slight, and to be confine.4 to the forefoot of the vessel, and which he has decided to remedy by boxing off a small space on the, mside of the cutwater at the bottom of the vessel, a0’, to make the same watertight, and which work is now ‘progressing. tti'ag the vessel thus ushore, it that the Leak w: topped, and we, with Capt. R., enter- tein the most confident hope that the remedy he has ap- lit will make the vessel perfectly safe to proceed on her voyage in about two days. Capt. Ryrie has expressed himself confident that the engine pump would have taken the vessel to England in perfect safety without any repairs, but he did not feel justified under the circumstances of the case, to involve himself in 80 serious an amount of responsibilit; From all that we can learn from the passen, Hibernia, Capt. Ryrie’s conduct during their accident was beyond all praise. The very cool and able manner in which he conducted himself at the moment of the accident and during the night,re-established the most perfect tranquility and confidence amongst all persons on board with respect to their satety. We will eed to you further as soon as our better in formation will enable us. Faithfully yours C.F. BENNETT & CO. discovered Maenetic TELEGRAPH BETWEEN BUFFALO AND Locxrort.—There is no truth, whatever, in the statement made in some of the papers, relative to she wanton destruction cf some of the poles on this ine, some time since. The tacts of the case are, that the wires of this line run through and alon; some twelve miles of a forest between Buffalo an Lockport. Sufficient care was not taken in fixing the wires, so asto be clear of the branches of the trees. The consequence was, thatin the late gales, by the waving of the branches, several struck the wires and broke them. - This damage was promptly repaired, and precaution taken to_ prevent a like oc- currence for the tuture. The whole affair works ad- mirably, and gives universal satisfaction, Commu- nicanon between the two points is hourly kept up, which only requires a few minutes to send a mes- sage und receive an answer thereto, at either end. Novel, Srort.—A fox chase is to come off on the Beacon Course, Hobeken, about the beginning of the ensuing month. Some filteen or twenty couple of hounds, the best in the neighborhoed, are ex- pected to partake in the affair, together with twelve or twenty lively toxes. This will be a novelty ne- ver before witnessed in this country, and will aflord great amusement and sport, without danger to any one but the poor foxes.

Mr. Cusuaan reported on behali of the committee | appointed to consider the expediency of petitioning the Emperor of Burmah on the subject of missions, that it was not expedient atthis time. The report was accept- | ed, and it was moved to refer the whole matter tothe Ex- | ecutive Committee. . After some discussion, the motion | was withdrawn, a special committee appointed to | consider the subject. The Corresponding Secretary then read the report of acting Board on the state of foreign missions.

Rev. Mr, Anuorr also protested against abandoning | the Arracan Mission or any others. Rev. Mr. Srowr remarked, that there was no inten- tion of giving up the Arracan Mission. | Rey. Mr. Kincarp said, he thought at first there was a | desire to retrench, but he had come to the conclusion that a spirit of liberality pervaded the convention, and he believed no missionary stations would be abandoned After some further discussion, the report was ordered to be printed. ‘The Secretary read the names of those who subscribed $100 on Thursday evening. Several additional names were handed in, and the Chairman announced that the necessary sum’ ($10,000) had been raised, and $5,000 besides. Rev. Mr. Benet, chairman of committee appointed to nominate a board of managers, made a report of 75 names. After some discussion, which ensued in conse- quence of the committee not having obeyed their i structions, by dividing the names into three classes, the report was recommitted for their further consideration The new constitution declares that the board of mana- ; gee shall consist of 75 persons, one third of whom shall e laymen. It also says, they shall be divided into three classes ; the lat class to go out of ollice at the 1st annu- al meeting, and thus in regular succession one third of the bourd going out of office at each annual meoting; their places to be supplied by a new election. The convention took a recess for half gn hour. Upon again assembling, it was moved that when the conven- tion adjourn, they adjourn to meet at Brooklyn, in the Pierpont street church, on the Tuesday before the third Thursday in May, 1846 —adopted. ‘The committee, to whom the report on the board of managers was recommitted, now Feported 75 names, which were accepted, and the report adopted. v. Mr. Cusuman offered a resolution, returning the thanks of the convention to the Tabernacle Church and their pastor, and also to the citizens of New York, for their hospitallity and kindness. He also moved, that a collection be taken up for the benefit of the sexton of the church, who had kept open house and rendered great services. Carried, and collection taken up. Rev. Mr. Haccx, of Boston, then offered the following resolution “Resolved, That while this convention solicits the | 20 operation of all the friends of missions to the extent of their power as individnals, and commend their cause to | the remembrance of those who have property to be- | quoath by will and testament, yet would now especially call uponall the churches, to remember that the commis. sion of our Lord and Savior constitutes each one of them | & missionary association to spread the gorpel throughout the world, and entreats each one, regardiug this work in its church capacity as its chief business,to come up to our help ; and, more than it ever yet has done, to act in ac- | cordance with the primitive design of its constitution, like those apostolic churches which were the “glory of | Christ” and “the lights of the world.” After a debate, this resolution was laid on the table. Rev. Dr. Wexcn, of Albany, with appropriate re- marks, introduced the followin; “ Resolved, That this coavention, entertaining a high estimation of the self-sacrificing and devoted labors of the acting bo lo express to them their entire confi- dence and affection, and most cordially appreciate and approvetheir fidelity to God, his cause and people, in the trying and difficult circumstances in which they have been placed.” This resolution, we suppose, relates to the fact of the Alabama convention sending a letter to the board, ing slaveholder might be appointed a missionary, To which the board replied ina circular, that he could not. 6 was also one of the causes which led toa between the North and the South 5 aid he hoped the resolution would not pass | at this time. | , After remarks to this effect from others, the resolu- tion was withdrawn. | ‘The Convention now adjourned, to meet in Brooklyn in May next.

Mittrany.—In consequence of the foolish vote taken to Suppress the celebration of the 2/th November, the feel ing has become intense among the military, to celebrate tho day with more than usual parade ; it has brought out many of the indepeadent companies; among the number we notice with pleasure,that well disciplined and elegant corps, the New York City Guards, Capt.

After some apparent scrambling among the Funks, one of them, who seemed to be a very green foreigner, bid it off for forty dollars. He was re- | quested to go behind the desk to pay for it, and soon came back, looking very blue. ‘The clerk then stated to the auctioneer, that “ the gentleman wished to leave a deposit of ten dollars on nd would call in to-morrow and settle for it” At this the auctioneer seemed very wroth, and said that‘ no gentleman must bid on it, uo- | leas he had the money to pay for it with ” put up again, when a greenhorn, who stoo thinking the gentleman did not take it merely because he had not the money to pay for it, bid twenty dollars, and it was at once knocked down to him. The auctioneer, with a amiling face, then informed the crowd “ that there wouldn’t be no more sales not to-day.” We see that the banners which were paraded, for several weeks, before have been removed, and no precautionary meusure is used to prevent greenhorns from being swindled out of their money. ‘The banners, however, were of but little service. The first measure adopted by the Mayor ought to be pursued. This w to station ofticers at the door of each of these establish- ments, for the purpose of personally warning all strau- Itis a ply that some effectual plan may not be devised to rid the city of these nuis- ances.

We have repeatedly | adverted to the palpable abuses that exist in the Police depattment—their utter inefficiency as a force to protect the interests of our citizens—their incompetency in the discharge of their duties, and neglect in numerous instances, to the injury of the public. We hear every , day of cases in which some of the police connive at the offences against justice andthe laws, through the influ- ence of friends of the parties accused, or for other con- iderati back, where an offender who had been placed under arrest for assaulting his wife, was being conducted to prison in custody of an officer, when the oflicer was actually assaulted in the jischarge of his duty by adrunken cobler somewhere in Suffolk or Clinton stri and nothing has since been heard about the matter. This police officer was connect: ed with the police office situated in the Bowery, which was latterly removed to Essex Market, and the cobler, who has, a8 we understand, some connexion with the light fingered gentry” who figure near the precints of the Hook” and elaewhere, has been allowed to go at i s hanging over him, and suffered of the laws” is only one of the numerous heard of—and as we consider this a case for nvestiga- tion,we shall take care that public officers will not allow themselves to be opposed in the discharge of their du tios by the drunken rowdies and pickpockets who infest us in every quarter, and live npon the plunder which they rob and steal in their midnight migrations through ourcity. As was natural to expect, the husband and the wife made up the quarrel, and the former was dis- charged without prosecution, while the drunken knight of the lapstone was suffered to escape; and so rests the Rowen’s Orrice, Nov, 21.—That unfortunate man Dunn, whom we mentioned yesterday as having been dragged out of the dock, foot of Duane street, died early yesterday morning.

Parkinsoi being @ title deed of property in Grove street ii ity, and conyeyedto Wm. Parkinson in the month of May, 1342, for ‘a consideration of '$3600'; the other, a title deed of property in Middlesex county, N. J. of the value of $8000, purchased by Parkinson, and recorded on the 20th of October, 1441.” Counsel for defence mitted that there was & mortgage, upon the property in Grove street to the amount of $2000. The defence here rested their case. Rictanp Sicvox, called by the prosecution—He depo sed as follow. have seen Robert Foster; he once called at my house; | once took a letter which my wife received from him, to Parkinson; | found Parkinson in a shop rear of William street; when I went into the shop Parkioson was up stairs; down; Parkinson took it out and read it in my,presenc after opening the letter, he at first appeared to have me difficulty in reading it; he took it upstairs, but soon returned with it, and stated that he understood from the note that I wanted to ascertain where a certain girl was; he appeared to be somewhat confused at the time; 1 understood her name to be Sarah Allen; he said chat he knew where she was but refused to tell me; according to the best of my recoliection, he said that Foster knew where she was, and wondered why he didn’ttell me; and that he didn't wish to be brought intoa scrape about it. ‘The note or letter referred to was then read by Mr. Whiting; its contents were as follows :— Mx.

He refused to inform me where she was, and that he was surprised that the writer of the note had not inform- ed me where she was, as the writer himself knew where she was as well as he did I then begged of Parkirson to tell me where I could find her,as she had come from England with my family, and we were very anxious to know where she was; she left us in consequencn of some misunderstanding ; after explaining to Parkinson my reasons for wishing to know where the girl was, he still refused to give me any information respecting her, although he said he knew where she was; Parkinson held the note very loosely in his hand, and’ I observed that it was addressed to Mr. Edwards, and knowing him by the name of Parkinson, I took hold of the note and said, that the letter did not appear to be directed to him ; he repliad that it was directed tothe person in whose service the girl was; 1 then requested him to tell me where {could find this Mr. Edwards ; he refused to do so; I then told him that if he did not tell mo I should go to the Police, as | thought that Foster and Parkinson had abducted her; he still refused to give me the informa- tion 1 desired, and J accordingly went to the Police and Justice Taylor ; in consequence of informa: t on I subsequently received from Justice Taylor, | went Allen'has since gone back to England.

Ex-Sheriff Vay Dine, Officer Bip, of Brooklyn, and several other witnesses, also testified as to the bad cha- racter of Foster. The testimony on both sides having been brought to aclose, the Court took a recess until 4 o’clock, when James M Smith, Jr., a rose and ad- dressed the jury in behalf of the accuse: .R. Wuitine, Feq., late District Attorney, followed on the part of the people, in one of his usual able and truly impressive arguments. Mr. Gut losed the summing up for the de- lin behalf of hisclient.

His eloquent re marke, which he brought toaclose at half past one o'clock this morning. were listened to with deep inte- rest by those who remained in court until that late hour for thelpurpose. The court then adjourned till 11 o’clock, A.M, when the Recorder will deliver his charge, and submit the case to the jury. Police Int-lligence. Noy. 21.—Attempt at Rape —Nancy Ann Thomas, a very interesting young girl of 15 years of age, living with her parents at No. 263 Sixth “Avenue, on last Sa- turday, went to the house of Peter Henry, No. 101 we 17th street, for the express purpose of paying Mrs. Heney some money due her from George Diken, for some worl she had been doing. She saw Mrs. Henry, paid her the oney, and at Mrs. Henry’s request remained with her ort time, when Mrs. Henry,feeling somewhat sleepy, laid down on tke bed to to take'a nap; shortly afterwards Henry came home, and at once began to speak in very vulgar terms to Nancy, whereupon she ran down staira, he after her, and caught hold of her person in aviolent manner, and attempted to commit his hellish parpose by dvagging her into the back premises; she, howeve: screamed out, which brought a menthe let her go and returned running home, immediately communicated the her mother ; consequently the mother brought Nancy before Justice Roome, who took her affidavit of the facts relating to the whole affair, then issued a warrant for the Sane of Peter Henry, who is now fully committed for trial.

However, Mr. Stoops bolted in and spoilt all their little arrangements for the night, by taking his true love tothe watch house. By the bye, this is practiced to a greatextent in this community, as Dickey Riker used to say; conseqnently Capt. MeCirath locked her up in acell alone, for repentance.

The officer took him in tow, boarded this black “crib,” and got back his money and coat, and handed them to the Tar, who felt so delighted, and bles- sing his stars to think he had struck so lucky’ a planet, asked the policeman to take a drink; whereupon the poor “star” walked off, muttering at the same time that hia; H.

It appears that McGlone and i others went to the premises of Bartholomew Kea: there broke in the windows and doors with brick stones, &c., “common,y called an Irish festival, me time threatening to take away the life of Mrs. Touney, also to crack the head of Kean, providing he could be found. Now, Teddy knew too much to be guilty of showing himself, but stowed himself away snugly up stairs, until an opportunity offered to escape out of the back way,when,procuring a policeman,he had McGlone taken to the station house, when Justice Roome committed him to prison, to take a little of that finny edge off.

A Branch of the State Bank of Ohio, with a capital of $100,000, has been organized at Akron, and the stock is all taken. Its name, the Bank of Akron. It will go into operation immediately By the arrival of the steamship Britannia at Boston, from Liverpool, we have advices from that port to the 4th inst, and from London to the 3d instant,inelu be- ing sixteen days Jater than those brought by the Cale- donia, and thirteen days later than the advices by the Massachusetts, at Holmes’s Hole. The commercial ac- counts are of the most vital importance, and highly inter esting to this country. Advices from Europe, received within the past twenty years, have not been of such an important character as those by the last arrival. There are so many concurring causes to produce a complete revulsion in the commercial affairs of Great Britain, that we look for one of sufticient power to sweep away many of the institutions of that country, and, perhaps, change its whole political and commercial existence. The first thing of importance the deficient harvests will bring about, | must bea modification of the corn laws. The excite} | ment already created by the prospect of avery short | supply of food, and the loud calls for an opening of the | ports, have compelled the Government to consider the | demands, and there was a very great probability of their being acceded to Should it be determined on in coun- | cil to open the ports of the kingdom forthe admission of foreign grain at a nominal duty, it will produce a po- litical commotion and action throughout the country, | that will shake the very foundation of the government. | We seo that O’Connell has already commenced agitating | the subject in Ireland, and every political party in the | kingdom will, when the thing is ripe, gather its strength | for action. ‘The starving millions cannot wait for the | | slow movement of Parliament ; the government must take the responsibility of providing breadstuffs at the | cheapest rate, at the sacrifice of whatever political in- stitution of the country may stand inthe way. Every source of supply usually depended on in times of scar- city has failed, or will shortly fail. The most ex- | tensive grain-growing sections on the continent | have this year hardly enough to supply the de- mands for consumption from the local inhabitants. ‘The Baltic and the St. Lawrence will soon be frozen | up, France has no more breadstuffs than she re- | quires, and the only hope of the people in Great Britain is in the abundant crops of the United States. Fortu- | nately we have sufficient, and it is only necessary that | the restrictions which have heretofore existed, upon the | introduction of grain from this countryshould be removed | toensure a supply large enough to make good any de ficiency. An importation of grain into Great Britain from this country must be paid for in bullion, the same as though imported ‘rom any European country. The | balance in our trade. is already largely in our fa. | vor, and the addition to our exports of several mil- lion bartels of flour, will set the tide of specie this way and give us an immense supply of bu! ‘The Bank of England, in anticipation of a very great external de- mand for the bullion in her vaults, sometime since raised | the rate of interest; but the drain has not ceased, the re- | turns for the week ending 26th of October, showing a decrease in that time, in the bullion, of £280,865. A weekly decrease of this amount, would soon bring down the bullion to a panic point, when the drain would in- crease with an alarming rapidity, The deficient harvests in Great Britain have, no doubt, been the prime cause of the prestnt revulsion in com- mercial affairs, but there are so many concurring causes producing this erisis that it must be final. The speculations in railway shares, having been carried to such an imme! extent, will react upon the market, and the ruin perhaps he more general and more complete, in consequence of the high prices of bread-stuits and the severe contraction that must immediately follow such an immense expan. sion. Had the Bank of England placed restrictions upon the money market merely to have produced a crisis in the railway speculations, the check would have been re- | moved the moment the object was accomplished, and the market gradually relieved from the pressure, but the | doticiont harvests cannot be supplied as soon as the spec- | lations in stocks can be checked, and the policy adopt- ed by the bank must, therefore, be adhered to. | Thegdrain of bullion from the bank, which must continue successively fis ms, the crowded and fashionable xudiences that witnessed their emi- nent perfe ‘3.

The revulsion in commercial affairs must inev'- tably lead to a revulsion in political matters, and the re- sult will be a complete prostration of the principal insti- | tutions of the country. The government wil) be draw: into the general movement, in consequence of the agita- tion of the repeal of the cora laws the two parties in Parliament apn thie question, must come to an issue very soon, and all the small parties in every section will, no doubt, avail themselves of time to spread their Principles and act more collectively against the ministry Every element in Great Britain, politically and commer: cially, appears to be ripe for an explosion, and we have no doubt the result of the present state of things will be a complete and tnorough change in the operations of the, whole internal manogement of the offairs of the king- dom. The effect of this revulsion, which has been yeay* | maturing, will be felt for years, andthe unsettled state of things that must exist for a long time, will naturally induce people of limited capital to seek quiet and secn: rity ina country where the institutions are permanently fixed, and where they can feel satisfied that they can enjoy what they have independently. The difficulties that will inevitably grow out of the present state of things, will, without doubt, drive theuands to our shorer, and even capitalists may be induced by the superior advantages held out for the employment of capital in | every species of manufacturing on this side of the Atlantic to transfer their funds to onr markets. Emi- gration to this country must be much increased by the distress high prices of food in Europe will produce Tne depression in the cotton market had not been so great as might have been anticipated from the de- | rangement that exists in the money markets. The ope- | ,ations were, however, limited, and there appeared to be a pause in the movements of manufacturers and spe- | culators. The accounts from the manufacturing dis- | tricts continue favorable, and the work people were fully employed. The manufacturers will, without doubt, make great efforts to keep tn active operation, and if they are successful, the prices of cotton will be sustained. An extensive demand for fabrics from this country is looked for on account of our abundant crops and ability to consume larger than usual. A large fo reign demand for our breadstuffs, and an advance in prices, would undoubtedly have that effect. It is ex. pected that a vast increase in the export trade of Great Britain would take place on the opening of the ports tor the admission of foreign grain free of duty. ‘The evils that are spreading over Great Britain, of a | political, commercial, and physical character, can by no | means be confined to that country. A very serious d pression exists in the principal money markets of the continent. In Amsterdam the rate of irterest has risem | todper cent; in Hamburg the rate varies from 7 to & per cent; in Frankfort, Berlin, and Paris, money was scarce, and the rates of interesthigner. The railway panic had extended to all these places, and the commer- | cial clas jay they have neverbeen so much pressed | for a period of twenty years. | The Banks of England and France were about making | | { arrangements to obviate any derangement in the curren- growing out of the crisis in the railway speculations. ‘annex comparative statements exhibiting the con- dition of the Bank of England at several periods, for the purpose of showing the variation in the movement. | Baxw or Enataxp, | : wt.4.
