“NEW YORK HERALD. ‘The Herald for Europe. We shall publish two editions of the Herald Sor Europe to-morrow, one for the French steam- er Missouri, which will leave this port on that day; and one for the English steamship Cambria, which will leave Boston on Wednesday. The mail for the Missouri will close in this city at 12 0’clock, noon, and that for the Cam- ria at half-past four in the afternoon. ‘These editions will contain a complete and perfect summary of American history—com- prising the latest news from the seat of wa: telligence from all parts of the United States; the letters of, Mr. Bennett from Europe; our correspondence from Washington; the reports of the markets, crops, &c. &c., since the sailing of the last steamship. : The edition to go by the French steamship will, as did the edition which went by the last French steamship, contain a summary of Ameri- can intelligence in the French language, for those in Europe who are not acquainted with our lar- guage. With the view of making our transatlantic friends acquainted with the places conquered and occupied by our troops, we shall illustrate our war intelligence in the next edition of the Herald for Europe, by publishing in it an accu- vate engraving of the city of Puebla, in Mexico, which was the place at which our forces last encamped. The price of the Herald for Europe will be as usual, 64 cents each. They can be mailed at this office. The French Steamer. According to the passage of the Guadalquiver, the French steam ship New York is now due. The European News—The Failures among the Corn Dealers, We have received, by the arrival of the steam ship Guadalquiver, from Liverpool, ten days later intelligence from all parts of Europe. The most unfavorable feature about the news is, that ourprevious accounts relative to prices of breadstuffs are confirmed. In addition to this, we have advices of extensive failures in the corn trade, failures amoynting to over six millions of dollars. This might have been expected from the tremendous depreciation in prices, but the reality must produce a vast deal of embarrass- mentin commercial circles, both in Europe and inthe United States. A large amount of pro- tested bills of exchange, will, without doubt, be returned by the packet of the 19th instant, now at sea nearly eleven days. It is impossible: to tell, at present, where the bulk of the losses will fall, but we have great fears that it will fall heavily upon parties in this country. It, by no means, follows, that because bankruptcies to a certain extent are reported, the losses will be any where in the neighborhood of thatamount. The aseets of insolvent houses generally amount to a fair per cent on their liabilities; and itis fair to suppose that the re- sources of houses engaged in the corn trade, bear as good a proportion to their liabilities as those of any other class of business. For more than twelve months past, prices for breadstufis have been steadily advancing, and handsome profits have brenjrealized. It, therefore, appears more extraordinary that the first reverse should have carried down so many houses, and pro- duced so much bankruptcy. The announcement of failures to the amount of $6,000,000 is well calculated to create consi- derable of a panic on this side of the Atlantic; but when the thing comes to be analyzed, we think there will be very little cause for appre- hension. That serious losses will be the result of the recent heavy fall in breadstaffs, no one can fora moment doubt; but that the effect will be as alarming as may be at first anticipated, we do not believe. The depreciation in prices alone has not, in our opinion, been the whole cause of the failures reported. The difficulties in the money market have, no doubt, had a very im- portant influence upon thos: temporarily embar- rassed, and compelled many to suspend for the want of immediute means, who will be ulti- mately able to prove themselves solvent. It is, however, always best to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Notwithstanding the decline in breadstuffs, and the favorable prospects relative to the har- vests, throughout Great Britain, the cotton mar- kets on the other side, according to the most re- cent reports, were exceedingly heavy, and prices by no mesns firm. This, in the face of accounts from this side re.ative to the yield of the last crop and condition of the growing plant, is very strange, and would be unaccountable, but for the tightness in the London money market, and the advanced rate of interest. The packet of the 19th inst—the Caledonia—will give us more definite intelligence about the har- vests and the embarrassments among the dealers in breadstuffs. It is our impression that they will be much more favorable and encouraging. ‘Theutrical and Musical. Panx.—Mr. Fornest.—Tho great talents of this dis- tinguished actor have for the last twenty years been so much the object of the critio’s pen, that it would be only repeating a twice told tale,” to enter into & minute ex- emination of his many excellencies. By universal con- sent he stands at the head of his profession, and justly 90; for to a refined taste, a solid judgment, and a erea- tive imagination, he unites a manly form, and powers of voice unlimited, In tho fidelity and force with which he describes the gradual progression, the full violence, and the minute manitestations of passion ; in the con- summate skill with which he reconciles the utmost yehemence of emotion with suavity of expression, we recogaize the hand of a master, whose execution evinces a@doeper and more perfect knowledge of his art, than any actor, except Kean,— “The father, not the son, we mean.’” Mr. Forrest has chosen the character of Lear for bis debut this evening, and we invite the attention of the public on the occasion. Of this great performance there has never been but one opinion : itis # perfect specimen of the genuine feelings, spirit, and genius of his art ; it is great, without ceasing to be natural. Boweny Tueatay.—The play of ‘Slander,’ and the tragedy of “Pizarro,” at the Bowery Theatre to-night.— Two capital pieces, with good acting. Mra.

Another full house, of course, CratHam Toeatre.—Miss Clarke, Mr. Waloott and the regular company, will appear in three capital pleodh to-night, viz.: the “Wonder,” “Tompkins Blue” and “Nipped in the Bud.” The admirers of comedy will be yloured to their hearts’ content with this bill. The Chatham is aoing wonders under the new management. Patmo’s Ornna ‘Housr.—The bill of smusements at Palmo’s @pera House to-night is choice and varied, Mis Taylor, Mr. Sefton, &e,, will perform In the “ Swiss Cottage,” and the Ravel tatnily will perform the “ Gi- elle” aod the urual amount of tight rope exercises and pantomime, Caste Ganorx.—The Havana opera troupe will per- form Bellini’s grand opera, “ La Sonambula,” at Castle Garden this evening.

Sporting is about to partici- pate in the revival of business generally, consequent upon the return of those who usually spend their sum- mer vacations amid the enjoyments of the fashionable watering places, or in seeking amusement in the seques- tered shades of the country, with a brace of setters and 8 double-barrel * Manton.” The meres ot the sports to-day will induce numbers to attend, not so much from the celebrity of the horses which are entered for the occasion—as the majority of them are unknown to fame—but from the desire to select from among them fresh favorites for the coming year.

Onty ini \e ~ . Fing in Nassau Staeet.—About 12 o'clock last night, one of the compositors of this office, discovered fire in the basement of the large five story brick building on the corner of Ann and Nassau streets, oceupied by James Conner & Son, type founders; Jared Bell, printer: Mercer, restaurateur, and others. In almost an instant after the flame was seen in the basements it shot up through the well hole, and spread through- out the building, which was completely gutted in about two hours. Our energetic firemen were im- mediately in attendance; and those who doubt the value of this class of our citizens had better attend a fire like that last night, to be convinced of. their value. Woe are glad to learn that the books, papers, and a large portion of the most valuable part of the stock of the Mesars. Conner were saved, but their loss is very great, probably $20,000, about one fourth of which was insured. Mr. Mercer lost all his furniture and fixtures, and his family barely escaped with their lives. All the type and presses, &o., &c., belonging to Mr. Bell were wholly destroyed; loss probably $6,000. The building was owned by Mr. Van Rensselaer, of Albany; loss about $12,000. The total loss is not far from $50,000, The upper part ef the building next to the above in ‘assau street, was slightly injured. Fine —An alarm of fire occurred yesterday, abeut bal free one o'clock, P M., in consequence of the voluntary ignition of a quantity of oil of vitrol, on board the steam- er Guadalquiver, Captain Hosken, which had arrived in the early part of the day, and put in at the foot of Clin- ton street. Capt Hosken, who commanded the steamer, together with most of the crew, were soon on the spot, aided by the police and fire companies. The mate and crew were actively en; d with these companies in sup. pressing the fire, aided also by several citizens. The police officers were most active on the occasion, were officers Caslin, Keeny, and Seely. In about thirty minutes gfter the alarm occurred, the fire was got under, and a vast crowd were collected about the steamship, feeling much anxiety for her safety. After receiving satisfactory explanations the crowd soon dispersed. A Txeasere.—An infant was found about 12 o’clook last night, at Whitehall, by one of the indefatigable boat- ‘of thi jer, It was taken to the station house. As officers there could not properly attend to it, Mrs. Tate, of Na 58 Whitebull, kindly offered to take charge of it until it ceald otherwise be provided for. Tue Weatnen.—The thermometer rose yesterday in Wall street, at 12 o'clock, M., as high as 82 dogrees, and stood at the Northern Hotel, at the same hour, no higher that 75 degrees.

In the meantime some altercation took place between his wife and one of his neighbors, which appears to have produced consider- able excitement in his mind, id shortly afterwards he was found in his room with a stream of blood running from his throat, and the razor with which he had com- mitved the rash act on the bed Verdict, death by com. mitting suicide by cutting his throat with a razor’ Metancnoty Accivext.—The coroner was called, yesterduy, to hold an fuquest at No. 46 First street, on the body of James Winchell, aged 23, & native of New York, who lost his life under the following melancholy circumstances: From the evidence adduced before the coroner, it appeared that the deceased was employed in the Warren monary, in Warren street ; that on Becar day he was engage in fitting up @ punching machine, the weight of which was about 12 000 pounds ; and, after being raised to the proper elevation, two props’ wore placed uoder it, with a view of supporting it in the por tion desired.

During the past week there has been considerable ac- tivity in several of the principal fancy stocks. The fluctuations from day to day have been very great, and prices at the close show an advance of several per cent above those ruling at the close of the previous week. The greatest rise has been in Norwich and Woroester, and the heaviest fall in Canton Company. 80 far as the actual value of these securities is concerned, not the slighest change has taken place, but that usually has very little to do with prices in Wall street. Every one at all acquainted with the machinery of fancy stock speculations, knows that combinations and corners re- gulate prices more than any thing else.

Such movements as these are sufficient to frighten all the amateur speculators, and force them into some other species of gambling, for the speedy ac- cumulation of @ fortune. 7 It is by no means probable that the high prices ruling for some of the fancies, will be sustained for any length of time. The advance has been rapid, and the fall will be equally sudden. As soon ag those ferming the com- bination for a corner have inflated prices as much as the bubble will bear, and have drawn in as many outsiders as possible, they will commence selling short, and a col- lapse will soon be experienced. Those who have for some time been bulls, will become bears, and prices will go down on the run. It would be well for those who have purchased for a rise, to get out as soon as possible, be satisfied with » small profit, pocket the proceeds, and get out of Wall street at the earliest moment. They will find it very pleasant to look on when the crish comes, if clear of the shock,and mark the hayoc it makes among the uninitiated. It would be useleag, even if it were possible, to make any comparison between the present price and present va- lue of the most prominent fancy stocks in Wall street. The first is actual, while the last is merely nominal. There is very little sympathy between these important matters, ‘and depend no more upon each other than as though they were in no way connected. We allude entirely to those ofa fancy nature. Holders of these stocks generally are pretty well posted up, as to their value, and the lots many hold havo been purchased at prices many per cent above those now ruling. They are anxiously look- ing for quotations to reach cost, and in waiting for that point, lose many opportunities of realizing at high prices and in coming in again at reduced rates, The money market continues comparatively easy, Within the past week the banks have been relieved from the active drain of specie, and they discount more freely Any amount ot money can be obtained on good security at tive per cent, and there is at present every probability of'an easy market for some time to come.

The importations of foreign merchandizo into this port have fallen off very rapidly within the past week or two, and the demand for specie for the payment of duties has consequently been much reduced. The importa- tions for the remainder of the season will be limited, compared with those of the past month, and the revenue from customs from this time forward, for at least six months, will be comparatively small. ,The annoxed ta- ble exhibits the value of merchandize imported into this district for the week ending Aug, 28th:— Commence or THE Port or Weekly Imports— an endis 46. 1847.

Tho per cent duty on the above imports for each year, corresponds almost precisely, showing that the two tariffa—1842 and 1846—do not differ so widely at times as the principles upon which cach was establisheds would warrant us in believing. Importations for the fali trade usually arrive during the month of August, and as the month is about gone, we have no doubt the bulk ot the imports has been recived. Our exports of agricultural produets are diminishing both in value and in quantity.

The elements above are in active effervescence, a fit illustration of the commotion of the foreign war and domestic dissensions that are tearing Mexico to atoms, while the lowering mass of clouds in the horizon to the eastward are equally a fit representation of the condition of the political ele- ments in Europe. We hear the ‘low distant grumblic of the mufiied ,thunder; we sea at intervals a quick, ¥| vid, keen, and sparkling illumination of the clouds, an we know that from these signa astormis brewing The clouds in the east, and the storm in the west, arw ap- proaching each other, and when they movt, thelr accu. mulated electricity will break forth im the shock of an earthquake, which will test the strength of the Ameri. can Constitution, and tumble the rotten dynasties of Christendom into iuextricable confusion. We see that Paredes has got into Mexivo in cog., en- tering boldly into Vera Cruz, and pushing at once iu ex- Press haste toward the capital. “He comes from France, Where he has seen the ladies dance,” But what is his purpose? What does be expect to ac- complish? Has he the secret support and countenanes of Louis Philippe and the Duke de Montpensier, and the Duke de Joinville, whose wife is of the royal house of Brazil? Has he that old monarchical scheme in view, of re-establishing, upon the rujas of the Mexican Repubiic, the ancient viceroyalty of Spain, to be held and admi. nistered by the Duke de Montpensier in behalf of the Queen of Spain? These are startling interrogatories, because they suggest the very extremities of European interference, which we had congratulated ourselves aa having circumvented and escaped, in the expulsion of this adventurer. What will Paredes do? Is not Mexico in danger of annihilation? Is not the Catholic church in danger of being superseded by the freedom of religion? Ww know these things to be so, We know that Mexico is in dan- ger of extinction as an independent nation—wo know At least there is no alternative between her dismember. ment and her acceptance of European vassalage.

If Paredes reaches the capital before Scott, what then? A revolution, which will save Seott the necessity of afight,ora junction with Santa Anna, which will cause a stouter Tesistance?

Of course, Whut side? Perhaps on our side, for once. Why so! To break the coalition of ‘those late royal marriages between France and Spain, and to weaken the power of France? Rea sonable; but what will be the result? The result will be the expulsion ofthe houses of »t. Louis and Brugan- za—the pacification of Mexico, allowing a large slice of the territory to the United States,and the seizure of the island of Cuba by Great Britain in indemnification of those bonds, or the declaration of its independence ‘Those things appear extremely visionary and impro- bable, based upon s0 insignificant an occurrence as the return of Paredes to Mexico; but they are not totally absurd or impossible, judging from the signs about ua, and the events of the eighteen months last past. But will such a strife of great powers on the fields and in the waters of Mexico, as that suggested, stop there? Not atall, Itcan’t. All Europe, ripe for revolution, will rise up in arms; and thrones, and kings, and queens, and prerogatives, will be riven to their foundations, like the gun cotton factory in the late explosion in England. | _ Sooner or later the struggle has to come, and the re- turn of Paredes may be the signal for the opening of the | grand revoiationary bolero. How utterly diminutive the Wilmot proviso in contradistinction to this picture of the grand drama ! Butin sober seriousness, we believe the day for this universal war will yet be postpoued for a time. Paredes, , is @ solitary adventurer, without the coun. France or Spain, without ny local eoalition support of the viceroyalty, without any in Me premegitated de | 1 of the sort hlinself, We suapeot that he comes in merely to try the chances of war, and the game for the upper hand in Mexico, A war of bia own commencing, he is likely being, somewhat ambitious, to end it in his own way, or tocontrol it as iar as he can We expect, too, that Santa Anna will be tound too much tor him; that he will be again taken prisoner, and sent out of the country, or asracsinated. This is a oritiest time with San nna. Boidness alone will save him now; and he cixing the policy with the temerity of desperation. Paredes, therefore, is in danger of a di rect fire feom « platoon of the National Guard, if he shows his face in Mexico. Indeed, his appearance at thie juncture, may tend more closely to uuite the Mexicans upon Santa Anna, and the Mexican Congress may dio- tate tho act of execution or expulsion of the uneulled for interloper. Suill, it is to be presumed that Paredes knows his ob- ject, his chances, aud his danger in the absence of « well defined plan of operations. But it may turn out that he is not there—that it was a humbug, after all We only bave to say that the ponies have brought us the news, and they have never yet failed of a faithful detail of authentic information. 1 Paredes has returned, our speculations will not have been idle phantasies—ifhe has not, our reflections may not be altogether unprofitable in view of future probabilities. It is safest, however, to as- sume that if he has returned, it is with the object of strengthening the resistance to our arms, rather than for the purpose of hastening peaceful negotiations. We have some hopes of Santa Anna, because be was reinstat- | ed by the intervention of the United States, aud we have some assurance of a compact with him in bebalfof peace; sut Paredes was expelied through the same inatrument- ality which restored Santa Anna; and he has returned without obligation to the Guif squadron for s pass, and therefore he owes us nothing but revenge, The subject has ied us off into an unreasonable length of prophetic pleading; and we dismiss it for the present, with the hope of speedy reports from Mexieo, nidcant of a speedy pacification, Recurring to domestic affairs, we are informed to-day | that Hon. Jobn ©. Clark, of York State, is to be a candi | date for clerk of the House. When we remember the ef- | teivat serviews of Mr, Clark in the campaign of 1840, and | bis active energies as displayed in the Congress of '41 | ‘42, when we recollect that be is, or bas been, ahead dirvotor, « principal adviser and manager of the party, | we are justified in the presumption that if he is to be « ~ | candidate, it will be from solicitation of the party, and in direct reference to the campaign of 1848, He, of all | other men, will know how to avail himself of the frauk. | lug privilege of the clerk im the distribution ot “ bon | doe in Mr, Sargent might be found «man bet | ter versed in the official duties of clerk, from experience fer many years as a reporter or letter-writer—in Mr. | Ramsay we might, perhaps, have 1am more distin. | guished for his personal amiability than Mr. Clark; but for the purposes of @ grand contest, for the duty of ro- ning here and barmeniaing the active operations of y sllover the country, the campaign of 1840 ts to John ©.
