On the Stock Exchange every thing has | declined feartully—especially railway shares, which in two mouths tiave fallen trom £5 to £10, and seem disposed to tall sulllower. A stock broker has fail- ed tor upwards of 3,000,000 francs, and has taken limself offto England or Belgium, out of reach of the poli who, as gentlemen in Newgate would say,“ want” him. Two other stock brokers have had to be saved from failure by the assistance of their colleagues. Some considerable failures have teken place in Paris,and at Lyons,Marseilles, Nantes, otler important towns; eminent banking and other mercantile establishmente have led also. Tradesmen have little or no money, and cannot get paid by their customers. More mercan- tile disasters are dreaded, and, in short, every thio is in a deplorable state. The primary cause of all this, has been the over speculation in railways, which occasioned great scarcity of money. A child- ish and foolish fear has also contributed to it mate- niully, taat feer being caused by Enghsh holders in railw naving made extensive sales, and by the disasters and the fall in prices which ‘have taken place in London, Liver, and other places. Jt is hoped, however, that the *‘ crisis” in Paris will not be of much longer duration ; it js abot as bed as it can be, and we all know that wher things are at the worst they begin to meud. Besides, two railways have just been cor- ceded to companies—one to a company headed by one of your townsmen, Mr. Mackenzie, and a large number of English capitayists, and another to a com- iny formed ot several independent companies, in waich eso Englishmen have a large stake. These compauies have received ten or fifteen times more movey than they wanted, and they will proceed to restore it without delay. Two other railways which also keep locked le some enormeus amounts, will shortly be adjudged, and thereby will set at liberty | other large amouats of capital; so that money will fove become more pleutiful, and as it becomes mor utiful, confidence will increase, and the erisis gradually disappear. Tne Minister of Commerce has published some very lengthy documents on the state of commerce in Chi It appears trom them, that in 1843, the United States sent 534,095 kilogrammes of cotton to China, whilst ia eight months and twenty-two days of 154 'y sent 156,094 picula, or 9,439,500 kilo- imes—imore than double ot what was sent by ‘and from her East India possessions.

The latest news from Caucasus was, that _an autumn campaign had been resolved upon. The Russian Generals had tried hard to destroy the for- ests by fire, but had failed. They had consequently to proceed to the laborious operation of cutting down trees, eo as to get at the mountaineers. The Russian government has issued a new decree to merease the difficulties of emigration from that empire. A Russian subject who desires to make a tour of Europe must be 21 years old, pay £88 to the government, and produce a certificate of morality; besides, he 1s obliged to engage himself to come every two years into Russia. If those formalities are neglected, the estates are confiscated. Madagascar. The following intelligence, which 1s extracted from a Bourbon paper, was received by the last arri- val, and ha~> been transmitted by Captain Pinnid, commander of the French brig Sans Souci:—The brig Sans Soaci saiied from Bourbon on the 24th July, for Fort Dauphin, Madagascar, and anchored on the 6th August, after having met with very bad weather. On their arrival, the captain and super- cargo went on shore, where they were met by one of the Hova chiefs, who told them that, having re- ceived from the Queen a formal order, under pain of death, not to allow the exportation of any merchan- dise of any kind, they were only wasting their time if they expected they could getacatgo. Water and fresh provisions were equally refused. The next day Captain Pinnid was getting ready to weigh, | when a signal was made that a vessel was in sight. This induced him to stay. In the evening, a Dutch ship of about 1,200 tons, the Prince Henry, Captain | Feyfer, came to anchor. The Dutch captain, and the supercarge of the ship, M. Leguével de La- combe, who at first called himseif by another name, appeared annoyed at finding the Sans Souci in the harbor. They stated that they came in tor provisions; but it was evident that some mys- tery was lurking under their voyage, as the ar} Yangements on board indicated a longer stay than that of a vessel merely calling in for provisions.— The next day the boat of the Sans Souci, manned by six men, disappeared. It has been asserted that she wus sunk by the Hovas ; but all attempts to find the men, or hear ot their fate, have been fruitless. ny after the supercargo of the Sans Souci re- ceived a letter from Captain Pionid, inferming bim that he was detained a prisoner, and forty dollars de- | manded for his ransom. Al] protest was vain—the ; money was therefore pai ,,and the captain released. In the meantime, a certain quantity of gunpowder wae landed from the Dutch ship, and guns fired by the Hovas as a token of rejoicing = While this was going on, an officer trom the Dutch ship came on board, and told us that his vessel was loaded with eae and ammunitions of war, that they had on ard guns, engineers, smiths,&c. That they were bound to Fort Dauphin, Manouran and Tamatave, and were to be followed by two other vessels, con- signed to and under the immediate and sole control of M.de Lacombe, the supereargo of the Prince Henry. He stated further that they came from the Mauritius. On the 12h the Sans Souci weighed , anchor. Shortly after two vessels hove in sight, probably those expected at Fort Dauphin. Indla. The extraordinary ta hopes in anticipation of the Bombay mail of the 15th October, reached London the 22d ultimo. It brings intelligence of the butchery by the Sikh soldiers of Jowahir Singh, the Wuzeer. His death was the result of a deep-laid plot, and effected in the most deliberate manner. innii September, the troops had begun to throng towards ore, where their demands forced the queen- mother to quit the fort, and to take the boy-king Dhuleep into their camp. The queen-mother and her brother the Wuzeer, had endeavored to appease their violentclamor ; but on the 2lst of September, | the queen got into a well-protected palanquin, went to the cainp, and was treated with respect by the soldiers.

Irex Trape, Dec. 4.--For several weeks past, the demand for iron has been small. ‘The complete prostration of the share market, the advance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England, the failures in the tato crops, are sufficient causes in themselves to pro- juce a serious reduction in price, and this would inevit | bly have taken place, had it not been from the difficulty | in’getting hands in the iron districts, and the consequent high rate of wages, and the necessary consumption of iron going on in the construction of public works of va- rious kinds in all parts of England and Ireland.

The manufacturing districts are not in such a prosperot condition as what we had the pleasure of previously re- | porting. The Woollen Trade, both at Leeds and Hud- | dersfield, is in a very dull condition. At the former there is nothing done in the way of purchases, except to express order; manufacturers acting, as they do, with extreme caution, prevents the accumulation of stocks, so that prices remain wonderfully steady. The Flann market, ut Rochdale, has felt the depression of the times, so that trade there is limited, and prices lower. The Wool market remains inactive, and manufacturers buy only for pressing wants. Accounts from Bradford, re- | specting the trade carried on in that locality, are of a | discouraging character; manufacturers there are work- | ing only limited hours, so that may hands are unem- ployed. At Manchester, the Cloth market bas been very | dull, and prices are now rapidly approaching the lowest point kaown in 1841-2, particularly for shirtings.

The news received last night, by the Long Island railroad, from Boston, with the intelligence brought from Liverpool, by the steamer Acadia, is highly important, both in a political and in a commercial view. ‘This news is favorable to peace and the settle- | ment of the Oregon question, but bad and gloomy on the state of the markets and moxey affairs. The intelligence received in England, relative to | the discussions in this country of the Oregon quea- tian, and the statement put forth by the Washington | Union, had created quite a war panic there for a | week. It had subsided at the last accounte-— ; aad there was a general expression in the presa, that, if Mr. Polk had offered the forty- ninth parallel, it ought to have been accept- ed. It 18 also said that the refusal of such an offer must have been caused by the influence i | of the Hudson Bay Company, at the expense of the other and greater commercial interests of England wiih the United States. The English press is far more moderate on the question than was ex. pected, and the French press still more so—nay, even favorable to the United States. Yet there is still a talk and show in England of army and naval preparations. We have reason to believe, however, | that when the President’s late message, and the cor_ respondence of Messrs. Buchanan and Pakenham, sha!l have been well perused in England, the press generally will be astonished at the folly of Mr. Pakenham in refusing the offer of the 49th parallel—and will attribute such refusal to the selfishness of the Hudson’s Bay Company, who would sacrifice a whole people to their own little in- terests. This feeling will be increased by the libe- ral views of Mr. Polk on the tariff, which is caught at eagerly in Eagland. On the whole, the news 1s highly favorable for the continuance of peace, and the peaceable settlement of the Oregon difficulty, unless the views cf our go- vernment on California inay create a jealousy in th, British government. In commercial affairs, matters are gloomy enough, and badenough. There is now no doubt of a gene- ral scarcity in England and Ireland—and of a speedy change in the corn laws. The League is making tremendous efforts—Lord John Russell and Lord Morpeth are both out against the corn monopoly.— The Parliament will probably meet in January, when a terrible fight will take place on the subject. Expresses ann THE News.—We did not run an express with the news brought by the Acadia. We thought we would not. Out of pure compassion to the Wall street papers, we refused to exert ourselves. What was the result? Why, the lazy chaps allowed the news to come on by the express of Adams & Co. Well, we will see what they will do with the next news. Post Orricr Enrgrrrize—The mail brought by the Acadia, arrived here at a little after 8 o’clock last evening, and yet we did not get our regular files till after 10 o’clock. Is this right? Is the Postmaster here or at Washington ? Newspaper EnTeRprisg.—It is pretty generally known, throughout the world, that no American newspaper has yet surpassed us in the acquisition of all sorts of news. We have beaten the combined press of this city, time and again, till we are almost ired, from the very ease with which we doit. All are aware that our expresses are the most suceessful intheir results. But there is one enterprising fea- ture in the Herald which is not so universally known as others, because there is a less number of persons which it interests. We mean the ship news. Those concerned in the shipping business, in all rt | parts of the Union, generally take the Herald, for ‘A , the comprehensiveness and accuracy of our reports; | but many, who take no other paper, are scarcely aware of the advantage they have over those who do not take the Herald, and who rely on other | sources for information. Scarcely a day passes that we do not publisn arrivals at this port one day in ad- | vance of our contemporaries. An instance of this | was strikingly exhibited in yesterday's paper. | Annivars Reroaten Dec. 19, Excuusivery in tHe New Yorx Herat. “a Vessels, Captains. Whence. _ Consignees.
