"Panis, 30th August, Eprror N, ¥. Hemany— : The utter stagnation of political news here, owing to the adjournment of the Chambers, the absence of the King and royal family, and of the principal members of the government, has been broken by the horrible drama of the Hotei Sebastaini, of which you will probably have hesrd something, even sooner than the arrival of this letter. Nevertheless, the account of an eye witness and car witness, resident on the spot, may not be unaceepta- ble to your readers, where the event is one, which, con- sidered in all its bearings, may perhaps be said to have no parallel in the history of society in civilized life, for halt s century. Marshall Sebastiani was, as is well known, a distin- guished commander and diplomatist under the Empire and under tho Restoration, He has engaged the espe- clal confidence and friendship of Louis Philippe. Un- der Napoleou, as Emperor, he was sent as Ambassador to Constamtinople, and shortly before bis departure for that place, he married the daughter of the Duke de Coigny, » member of the haute nodlesse, and one of the oldest and most distinguished fumilies of the Faubourg St Germain. The ledy had a large fortune in possession, end still greater one in reversion. At Constantinople sho gave birth to a female infant, and died in so doing, lesviag? the Marshal and Ambassador, her husband, a young widower with « newly born infant. The child, ‘under the oare of a nurse, lived. The state of Europe was such gf that time, that communication with Con- stantinople otherwise than by land was impracticable, aud the imfunt was accordingly brought to Paris through Turkey, Austria, and'the German States. This cole child gréw into # beautiful and highly accomplished wo- men, and became the inheritress, directly and by rever- sion, of the fortunes of the Duke de Colgay, her uncle, Marshal Sebastiani, her father, General Sebastiani, her unclo, and other wealthy relatives. In fine, her fortune, in jon and Xpectancy, amounted in value to twenty millions of dollars. At eighteen she formed a love match, contrary to the wishes of her family, with the Duke de Choiseul-Praslin, only one and twenty, and the head of another no- fawily, not less illustrious by descent than her own, if a large inheritance. To this marriage bora, six daughters and three sons, and the parents were still short of the meridian of life, the Duke being only 42 and the Duchess 89. Causes of dissension arose of late years between them, out of cir- cumstances which engendered jealousy in the Duchess, and a separation was threatened by her. The Queen and Madame Adelaide, who honored her with their espe- cial friendship, however, intervened, and brovght about a seeming reconciliation. On the 17th of the present month the family, who were staying at their magnificent chateau of Vause-Praslin, came co rae by - oe be thes bothine os the hag pod of proceeding r the season. ontieed iu town at nine o’elock in the evening, and te mediately left the railway station intwo carriages, oneof which containing the Duchess and some of the children, ‘went directly to the Hotel Sebastiani, their town resi- dence, in the Rue taubourg, 8t. Honoré, and the others, with the Duke and the other ohildren, drove first to the residence of a lady who had been lately governess in the family, to visit her, ead thence tothe Hotel Sebistiani, where it arrived about an bour later than the former oar- riage, which brought the Duchess. Common report says thet the Duchess expressed her displeasure in strong language at this visit to the gover- ness at such an hour, and especially at her daughters being brought there, and that « sharp altercation en- sued, Bethisas it may, all was quiet, andthe family hal retired to rest at eleven o'clock. The Duchess’s bed room was on the ground floor, the windows opening up- ‘on the colonade of the hotel, which looks be oa the gar- it bya cabi- den. The Duke's room was separated from net, ante-room and other ee } ‘Those who wxe familiar with this quarter of the city, will remember in waiking up the avenue of the Champs- Elysées, which runs atthe rear of the rue Faubourg St. Honore, after passing the garden of the British em- Ddasey, and befor riving at that of the Palais Elysees Bourbon, there is # pretty enclosure, defended by iron railing, fronting a handsome hotel having @ stone colon- ade. This building is the Hotel Sebastiani, and was the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Praslin, who oc- cupied it ia common with Marshal Sebastiani, the father of the Duchess. ‘he hotel adjoins the Palace on the west side, and the Hotel Castellane onthe east. The bed room of the Duke looked on th den, a8 well as on that of the Palace. That of the Buchess, next the Hotel Castellane, looked only on the garden, Such being the description of the place, let us retarn to the awful narrative of the facts, not as they were un- folded at the moment, but as the circumstances since de- veloped he incloged them to us. ms At balf past four in the morni: 0 Duke proceeded to the room of the Duchess, provided with three means of murder, that is to say ;'with cords to strangle, with knife to stab, and with @ loaded pistol. 81 ulation Presented several obvious advantages, and was, as is sup- posed, first tried.

Instantly the Knife was resorted to, and ® stroke was the neck, simed at the jugular artery. A wound ‘was inflicted and bivod flowed, but the object aimed at ‘was missed, and the wound was not mortal. The Duch- ona was us yot on the bed where she had been asleep. A strong and powerful woman, opposed to # man under the middle size, she now struggled tor life. she sprung from the bed, and a struggle, body to body, ensued. ‘The as- sassin Was still armed with the knife, with which he in- flicted in rapid succession half a dozen blows about the neck and a eh, noue of which, however, inflicted a death-wourid, The Duchess made for the bell, which ‘was beside the chimney-piece. she succeeded in reach- ing it and ringing it.

The window shutters being closed, the chamber was faintly illuminated by a night lamp; the Duchess was st: ed on the floor with her he: leaning op the divan. On lighting the candles, which as stood on the chimney piece, the horribie spec- tacle presented by the chamber was disclosed to the affcighted servants. The floor was literally a sea of blood; various articles of furniture displaced or overturned in the struggle laid disarranged around the room. ‘The Duchess still lived, but was speechless, and soarcel: sensible. ‘The first impulse of the domestics was to r forth and call for uid One went to rouse the door-porter to send for madical assistance and the police; the other wont to the Duke's room, when he presented himself dressed.

A considerable time elapsed, many enquiries were raised, searches made through the premises and in the — before the slightest suspicion fell on the Duke. coording to some reports the eaquiries addressed to the Duke were not of such » nature as to indicate the horrible susp‘cions entertained by the magistrates until the dey of the 19th. Doubtless these function- aries brooded on that suspicion long before they could make up thelr minds to let it be preceived by the Duke. At length, however, the question of the Pro- cureur General assumed an unequivocal shape, and the Duke saw the point to which they were addressed. He is reported to have become as pale as & corpse, and to have betrayed in bis person and manner, the profound agitation which he felt. He retired to his room, the au- thorities not yet deciding to place him under arrest nor to treat him in any respect as an accused " was at that moment that he is supposed to have swallow- ed a large quantity of arsenic. The medical inquiries subsequently instituted show that the effects produced by this poison are so nearly identical with those of cholera as to be undistinguisha- ble. In the first instance, the medical men in attend- ance are admitted to have neen betrayed into an error by this ciroumstance, and to have ascribed the prostra- tion, vomitings, and other symptoms exhibited by the duke, to cholera, brought on by the high mental excite. ment consequent en the catastrophe. On the mornin, of the 21st, between four and five o’clock,¢he duke was removed to the prison of the Luxembourg, the evidence being deemed sufficient to establish a charge of murder against hin. The Chamber of Peers was constituted into a court of justice by royal ordinance, and a com- mittee appointed by it proceeded on that day to ex- amine the dul Various reasons sre given by the medical men for the slow and intermitting effects of the poison; but the highest authorities in the faculty agree that there is nothing exceptional in the case, and that the poison might remain in the system for several days without producing death. In fine, the duke became gradually worse on the 22d and 23d, and on the morning of the ‘24th his approaching dissolution became evident, the curate of the parish was called in, and the last rites of administered, and, after an agony of fifty died at 35 minutes past 4, on the afternoon tes, of the 24th. The populase, highly exasperated at the atrocity of the deed, and believing in the possibility of the victim being snatched from justice through the influence of bis Fanik and wealth, crowded round the prison in large numbers, and the’ authorities apprehended that his re- mains might even be violated. After the body was ex- amined by anstomists emplyed for the purpose, and the viscera, brain, and other necessary parts, were taken away for analysis, it was determined to inter the re- mains in the darkness and silence of night. ‘The kesp- er of the Cemetery of Mont Parnasse, situated in the nelghborhood of the Luxembourg, was, sccordingty, or- dered to cause mt ot pe to be dug 4n a retired part of that cometery at midnight on the 25th, the grave-diggers being igoorant for whom it was intended, the scoret being confided only to the keeper of the place, who was an old retired oldier of the Empire, long ascustomed to strict obedience to orders, Meanwhile, » van, ac companied by s mourning coach, was brought into the garden of the Luxembourg by a’ gate remove from the prison, soon atter midnight, ‘The Chancellor, the Gi ernor of the prison, the commauder of the troops, and the Commissary of Police, were assembled in the cham - ber of death, anid formally identified the remains, which were then wrapped in a sheet and deposited by the em- ployées of the undertakers in a plain oak coffin, bearing Do losoription, which was forthwith iatroduced into the van, and followed to the cemetery by the four indivi- duals above named in the coach. It arrived at the grave before two o'clock, where it was deposited, without any religious ceremony, and where it lies without any mark to indicate the spot. Thus terminated the mortal career of the representative of @ long line of ancestors, hol highest rank and enjoying the greatest affluence ; and so far frem this obscure burial, conse- crated by no religious observance, followed by no mourn- er, and unattended by @ single relation or friend, being considered a disgrace or # stigma, the surviving family of the deceased consider themselves only too fortunate in having escaped the terrible manifestations of public exe- eration which would have followed this enormous crimi- nal had he ended his days, as he must otherwise have done, on the public scaffold. Connected with this, a curious polemic has arisen in the press. One of the journals has unexpectedly raised the question of the right to deal thus with the remains of the Duke de Praslin. In all countries where justice is respected, men are regarded, in the eye of the law, as in- nocent until ed are convicted of guilt by a competent tribunal. The Duke de Praslin, then, died legally inno- cent. By what right, then, it is asked, are his remains thus grossly outraged? Why is guilt assumed after death, when innocence is the legal presumption before it? His burial, therefore, rere) to these reasoners, should have been conducted with all the observances of ‘9 high noble, # peer of the realm, a chevalier d’honneur of the court, and a Christian. This curious question, however, we must leave to be debated by the casuists, Rome. Epiton N. Y. Herarp:— Rome, August 92, 1847, The progress of the liberal policy which was so unex- pectedly adopted by the Holy See, on the accession of Pius 1X., has been accelerated in an extraordinary man- ner by events since the date of our last despatches. We have already mentioned the detection and defeat of the plot of July 17, A considerable mumber of per- sons, of various ranks, including several of elevated po- sition, are now imprisoned for that affair in the castle of St. Angelo, M. Grasselini, the former Governor of Reme, charged with having countenanced the plot, has been exiled te Naples; and Colonel Freddi, and C aptain Alal, of the Carabiniers, who were to have been active participators in it, are in St. Angelo. Cardinal Ferretti, the Secretary of State, who worthily seconds the liberal views of the holy father, has publicly pledged himself that the trial of the conspirators shall be carried on in the face of the Roman poople. It has transpired that the object of this foul plot, which was concocted by the cardinals, aided by the secret agents of Austria, was to seize the Pope and transport him to the Neapolitan fron- tier, where he was to be detained as a hostage; mean. while an emeuce was to be excited, convicts liberated from the jails, and s collision between the troops and the populace provoked. ‘This disturbance could then have seized as the pretest for Austrian intervention— the Pope would have been compelled to accept the coun- cils of the Austrian embassy, and measures of reform could hi been postponed for another half century.— All this fine scheme, however, has proved abortive by the timely detection ef the plot. ‘The agency of Aus- in the affair, is proved by satisfactory indications; west promoters of the emeute, strangers to Rome ing been captured, with considerable sums in Aus- trian coin upon their persons, th the detection of this plot has probably saved the liberal cause im Italy, the sovereign Pontiff is still beset with difficulties. ‘ihe ambassadors of Austria and France throw every discouragement and obstruction in his way; and unfortunately Great Britain, the only great European State which has the power and the will, ‘86 woll as the interest, to promote the progress of an en- lightened and liberal Polley. in Italy, has no diplomatic representative at Rome. This is a defect which th igency of the occasion must soon corregt It is ie enn to convey an adequate ides of the in- tense excitement produced here, by the news of the oc- cupation of Ferrara by the Austrians; nothing could have repressed the movement of the on the occa- sion, but respect for the known wishes of the sovereign Pontiff, aud an unbounded confidence in his rectitude and firmness of purpose. The determination to main- tain @ tranquillity, which in reality is more formidable than 0} violence, was confirmed, when it became known on receiving the intelligence of this Keres. sion and of the protestation of the Cardinal Legate, his Holiness was filled with indfynation; he is reported to have exclaimed with vehemence :—‘ |, io the first lace, protest against this outrage on my independence; that do not produce an effect | will launch the thun- ders of excommunication against Austria; and if that do not prove sufficient I will descend from the chambers of the Vatican and in person mount a horse, and three mil- lions of Chri will follow me to repel the invader.” Measures have lately been taken indicating a determi- nation to offer serious resistance on the frontier. Several regiments of the Swiss Guards have left Rome for Fer- Fara; they were escorted out of the town by the people, amidst shou's ot “ Vive, Pia nono’’—other troops have been marched into Romania.

Count Romandini and other nobles have been sent into the jons and the marches to-organise the provincial «u he ion of Fer- rare ns filled the whole rural population with enthusi- asm, and even the peasants demand to be armed and enrolled, and to march agalost the Austrians. Asaconsequencs of the recognition of liberal princi- ples, journalism is established in the papal States. Se- veral newspapers, edited with great ability, are now pub- lished in Rome and Hologna. The Contemporaneo is a journal which may be fairly put beside any of the lead- ing Paris papers. The Bilencia is 9 semi oficial journal of the government, while the Diario is ite recognized organ. There are several other papers of various pre- tensions published here, including an English jeurnal, called the Roman Advertiser.’ Italy. Bovocwe, August 23, 1847. Eoiton N, Y. Henatp. ‘The eyes of the Italian people have been directed late- ly to this quarter of the peninsula, by the unparalleled outrage against the rights of nations, committed by Austria at Ferrara, It is well known that the citadel of that city has beem, under the treaty of Vienna, garri- soned by Austrian troops. Recently, for nv discovera- ble reasons except hostility to the Pope, the garrison was not only doubled, but « large body of troops was collect- ed on the left bank of the Po, in the neighborhood. Soon after this « frivolous incident, probably intention- ally produced by Austrian agents, was seized asa pre- text for the military occupation of the town itself, by the Austrian troops. Their commander, Count d’Auesperg, sent an officer, accompanied by some inferiors, to the Cardinal Legate, to inform him of his intention to send detachments to ocoupy the various guard houses and rates of the city. Against this, the Cardinal protested iS the name of the Pope, but meanwhile entreated that the outrage should be postponed till the following morn- ing, to avoid the chance of popular disturbance; this ‘was peremptorily and insolently refused, and immediate- ly thetroops marched into the town; infantry, cavalry, and artillery, with muskets loaded, bayonets fixed, and matches lighted, ihe pontifical tetoge arisen fromthe guard-honses and the gates, collected around the palace of the Legate, and took ‘charge of the prisons, the only posts unoccupied by the Austrians, While this was proceeding, the guns of the citadel were pointed on the town, and attended by the gunners, with matches lighted. The city of Ferrara has thus continued in a virtual state of seige to the present time. The Austrian troops collected on the left bank of the Po have been actively employed in constructing bridges of boats, by which at any moment they can pass the river with cavalry and artillery, and svize the papal territory. é Fro: Aug. 24, 1847. Eprtor N. ¥. Heratn,— ‘The liberal tendencies which the Grand Duke former- ly manifested, and which were alluded to in my last des- patohes, have since ripened into action. An edict has just been published, abolishing capital puvishment, and substituting solitary confinement for hard labor. Jour- nalism hes taken reot, and several papers are now pub- Mshed here, under avery mild censorship. The articles permitted in these journals indicate a sympathy between the Grand Ducal and Papal Governments, and although nothing positive has yet been effected in the establish- ment of constitutional government, everything is ex- ted. Perhe Duke of Lucea, in consequence of some popular demonstrations in his States, lately applied to Austria for military sid. Against such intervention, the Grand Duke of Tuscany is understood to have protested, Dyer his remonstranees on his eventual title to the juchy of Lucea. On the evening ofthe 23d,a serious emeute took place at Leghorn. A large popular meeting was held in the piasza grande, in consequence of the intelligence of the proceed- ings ofthe Austrians at Ferrara, Loud ories for the or- ganization ot the National Guard were uttered, and hos- tile shouts against,the Austrians were heard; demands were made to be armed, and to march to Ferrara to ex- pelthe Austrians. In the midst of this tumult the Go- vernor of Leghorn presented himself, and besought the people to disperse, assuring them that the Grand Duke was disposed to adopt the most conciliatory and liberal policy. The demanded » change of ministers, and were in ot of quietly dispersing, when unfor- fortunately a detachment of carabineers hom and the people a collision immediately trampled on. The consequences of this have not yet been developed. Switzerland, Bene, August 26, 1647. Eviton N. Y. Heratp:— ‘As elsewhere, the liberal cause progresses in Switser- land. Since the date of my last, there have been seve- ral debates and several divisions in the Diet, im all of which the liberal party have triamphed. The Diet has resolved to compel the Sonderbund or nullifying cantons, to dissolve their separate league. It has also authorized the Executive or Vorort, as it is called, to dismiss from the federal service all officers who shall enter the service of the cantons of the Sonderbund, and this the Vorort has been very prompt to do. Meanwhile, the cantons of the l are continuing to throw up entrenchments, erect fortresses, import munitions of war, and enroll troops, ‘The Federal government here are adopting cor- responding measures, and a formidable body of troops, weil drilled and ssuepes: are now ready totake the feld: Some of the separated cantons are, as you are aware geographically hemmed in by liberal cantons, while others, if not completely surrounded, are on one side or another, cut off from military resources. Consequently, convoys of men, and ammunition can only reach them by passing through one or other of the liberal cantons. Ordecs a1 ecordingly given to intercept such supplies én transitu—and this has, in more than one case, been acvually done. Thus several wagons of ammunition were passing through the canton of Tessino, on thelr route to one of the separated cantons; they were arrested by the authorities, aided by the people, and were dis- covered to have been suppled by Austria.’ France, which strange to say, has become one of the most inveterate foes to the progress of liberal ideas, under the regime of M. Guizot, has used every practicable intrigue to ex- cite dissension among the cantons, and to favor those of the league. In everything France is now the sworn friend and ally of the despotic States. You must not suppose that [ mean by this, that such is the spirit and tendency of the French people. But the French people and the French government are two very different thin; The Ffench government is Louis Philippe and M. Guizot, backed by » chamber and con- stituency in which they command a majority, by the practice of corruption on a colossal scale. ‘This, how- ever, cannot last long, for the nation gigantic efforts to effect a parliamentary and electo: re Meanwhile the liberal party in Switzerland has the countenance and support of the English govern- ment, which is compelled to be liberal whether it will or no, by the direct influence which the people exzrt up- on it ‘The Federal Exeoutive and legislature have not yet settled what means of compulsion will be used to com- pel the Sonderbund to dissolve itself,to expel the Jesuits, and to revere the federal pact. These the three great objects necessary here, to enuble liberal ideas to progress, The end of the next month will probably see something decided on that point. Spain. Maonnip, August 25, 1817, Eprror N. Y. Henaro:— Since the date of my last despatches little change has taken place, either in the political aspect of affairs or the internal relations of the palace; the same ministry remain in office, and the same court favorites maintain their ascendency. ;The heat of summer drove the Queen and her suite to the palace of La Granja, where a series of festivities and hunting parties have been given. Her Majesty on these oceasions ranges the forest on horse- back, and manipulates her gun with consummate skill. She seldom returns home without bringing down a fat buck with her own hand, and sometimes more than one, Her royal consort meanwhile continues to inhabit the Pardo, a small palace not far from Madrid, where he also enjoys the field sports. Every effort of the ministry to reunite the royal pair has hitherto been fruitless. The King has obstinately resisted every solicitation, and al- though the Queen was recently induced to return to Madrid, under the persuasion that the King would yield | tothgentreatios of the cabinet, and rejoin her in the alace, he has still refused to do This refusal, when last given, was coupled with the remarkable declaration that he could not consent to come under the same roof with her Majesty, until the expiration of four months. This intimation is considered as conveying an indelicate and ingulting,insinuation, the plain meaning of which i: that the King assumes that her Majesty is in a condi- tion, the visible development of which must, in the course of nature, take place within that period. You will recollect that in my former letters | men. tioned that public rumor assigned a certain Gene- ral Serrano, as enjoying the especial favor of her Majes- ty. The influence of this personage is still predominant, and there are not wanting those who ascribe to that in: fluence the estrangement of the King. Recently the embroilment of what is called the palace question, ‘aa well as financial difficulties, have brought the cabinet, of which Monsieur Pachecho is the Presi- dent, and Monsieur Salamanco the Financier, to a dead lock, In this dilemma Mr. Pachecho, with the sanction ofthe Queen, has recalled General Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, from the embassy at Paris to Madrid, to pre- by boy it is said, over a new ministry. The General left Paris on the 22d, ‘write this letter, is hourly expected.

Lisnox, Aug. 22, 1847, Eorton N. Y. Henarp:— Affairs arehere brought toa dead lock. When I lat wrote, the allied‘powers, that isto say, England, France and Spain, intervened. as it is called, to stop the revolt of the liberal party, aguinst an arbitrary and tyranni- cal ragime, resolving at the same time to compel the royal Government when restored, to govern according to constitutional principles. They soon discovered, how- ever, the truth of the old adage, that it is much easier to bring @ horse to the pond than to make him drink: After getting rid of the insurgents the Queen prepared to follow her old courses, and appointed the same party as her ministers, who had before given her wvil counsels ‘The allies remonstrated, and insist on it that she shall appoint others.

It has been currentiy reported in the city to-day, by parties who usually know some of the secrets of the bank parlor, that au immediate reduction in the rate of dis- count will take place. The reasons for this confident rumor are not given, but it is generally understood that the position of the Bank’s affairs warrants the alteration referred to. Under the old system of bank management, the public had some means of knowing the probable course of action of the directors. but since the restric- tions and impediments introduced by the Bank Charter Act, the commercial public are only able to form a very indefinite opinion of what may probably be the -decision of the court under eertain given circumstances. The bank’s return of this evening shows the actual condition of the establishment, and the public will be ‘The quarrel between Turkey and Greece, the origin of which I have explained in my former despatches, is stillvunsettled. ‘The interposition of Prince Metternich, has been hitherto unavailing, M. Coletti, the prime Minister ot King Otho, refuses to make the required rep- aration to the Envoy of the Porte.who had been insulted by the King of Greece, Meanwhile, all diplomatic rela- tions between the two countries are suspended ; consu- lar authorities are abolished, and commerce is thrown as it were, into a trance; this mischief to both coun- tries is mainly ascribable to M. Guizot. whose represen- tatives at Athens and Constantinople, have been in- structed to support M, Coletti in this affair, against the representatives of the rest of Europe. The English Government has exercised the power it possesses, (of showing practically its disapprobation of the course pursued by the cabinet of Athens ; it has de- manded through its Minister there, the immediate pay- ment of the portion of the interest on the Greek loan due to England, and has supported its demand by a por- tion of the Mediterranean +quadron in the Pirceus, M. Eynard, an enthusiastic Phillilene, came forward with quixotic generosity, and offered to lond the Greek go- vernment the fuads necessary to pay the interest claim- ed, namely, £20,000. ‘This offer, however, was not ac- cepted immediately ; time rolled on, and the lat Septem- ber approached,at which another payment of interest will become due; the amiable purpose of M. Eynard — relieve Greece, from the pressure and threats of her creditors, would not, as was evident, be attained, if En- gland should press as urgently for the interest due in September, as for that due in March... And it is accord- ingly expected,that M. ynard will decline making the payment, unless the English cabluet promises time for the interest falling due on the lst September, which it most assuredly will not do, What the issue of this situa- tion will be, remains to be seen.

Inconnection with the settlement of to-morrow’s ac- count, it was understood this morning that» lady of title, long notorious as « speculator, would prove a de- faulter to some amount; before the close of business, however, the matter was said to have been arranged.

On the Corn-Exchange to-day there was again further depression, and the failure of Messrs. Alexander Dickson & Co., of Belturbet, near Belfust, increased in @ very strong the general gloom. Mr. Dickson was a large distiller, and has latterly been a miller and d tn grain, and the liabilities of the frm are stated ot £200,000. Some of the most prudent of the London corn factors are creditors toa large amount, as are alse several of the houses in Liverpool. This failure, moreover, has already brought down three or four smaller houses in Ireland From the London Chronicle, Aug. 27.) A failure of comparatively trifling extent, in connec tion with the corn trade, has occurred in Liverpool. We have seen letters from that quarter, which in allud- ing to this event, confidently assert that the condition of the corn importers there is more stable than that of the correspending class in London, in consequence of ‘the direct dealings with America in which the L| pool factors were engaged enabling them to effeot their sales before any serious decline in prices took place; whilst the London speculators, dealing as they did with the Mediterranean, the Levant, and the Black Sea, have been overtaken by the decline, before they could effect sales which would cover the whole of their orders. {From the London Chronicle, Aug. 28.) ‘There has been no great animation inaay branch of trade to-day inthe city. The failure announced in the ‘that of Messrs. Woodley—® house of very old standing, and the chief partner f which was report- ed to yatised a large fortune, has over the market. The liabilities £150,000. This occurrence, together with the foreign arrivals of grain and the pressure for money, have had 4n unfavorable effect upon prices, and in some instan: ‘© considerable reduction from last Monday’s quotatior has been submitted to. The transactions, however, have not been extensive, and were chiefly confined to the retail dealers. Had sales been pressed, no doubt the decline would have been more serious than that which occurred. The nominal quotation was about 3s lower than on Monday. ‘The additional failares in the corn trade, coupled with the fact, of the agents of Prime, Ward & Co., of New York, having declined to increase their liabilities on acceptances until the arrival of the next mail, has furnished the idlers about the Stock Exchange with a very mi topic for conversation, and the most ab- surd and unfounded rumors have been freely circulated, We need scarcely add that there is no foundation what- ever for these statements, s0 injurious to commercial credit, and so much to be condemned at a period of anxiety like the present. The practice of giving cur rency to every foolish statement of impending disasters is most repre! ble, inasmuch as though no harm ec- curs told and wealthy firms, great mischief follows, by loss of credit, to smaller establishments, which by inf. rence may be considered likely to suffer. The Bank of England are understood to have been liberal in their advances during the last few days; avd it is stated on good authority that reduction in the rates at which paper bas been actually discounted by them may be expected.- On the Stock Exchange as much as ten per cent has been paid for temporary ac- commodation at the settling, but this of course is no criterion of ths general value of money. (From the London News, August 26 } The report from Mark-lane brings the announcement of another highly Tespectable house in the corn trade having been obliged to stop payment, ‘This, togesber with large arrivals of home-grown wheat, had the effect of depreciating the price of grain fully 5s, below Mon- currency. y the return of the'Gareite, of this evening, th movement of the Bank of England for the week end cbanges compar: on the 2ist instant, the SE ES eran able to form thelr own opinion on the policy of the di- rectors in maintaining so high a rate of interest, under the peculiar circumstances in which the trade of the country {9 at present placed. ‘The directors must be ware that an appearance of liberality on their part in- spires confidence in others; and that the present disas- ters im one branch of trade result almost entirely from the want of contidence which circumstances have re- cently created.
