We published yesterday, in the New York Herald, the most important news from the reat of war, that has appeared in this paper since the commenement of hostilities. It was received by a special overland express, It proves in the most conclusive manner, that all prospect of a speedy peace is hope- less, and that our infatuated enemy is obsti- nately determined to continue the war until he is annihilated, and his nation blotted out of the world’s.map. To this complexion hus it come at last; and it is folly in us to look for peace as long as a Mexican army can be raised and equipped. This news was received through Mexican @ources, and must, therefore, as far as the loss on our side is concerned, be re- ceived with caution. There is no doubt, TELEGRAPAIC. or THE STEAMSHIP HIBERNIA | TWO WHDES LATER | FROM [ALL PARTS OF EUROPE, IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ‘Additional Extensive Failures Burope.

The steamship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, was announced off Boston at ten o’clock yesterday mornning. She reached the city at twenty minutes of two in the afternoon. Our attentive correspondents in Boston imme- diately boarded her, and obtained our parcels, but not finding the letter usually prepared for us in Liverpool, in the mail, compiled the follow- ing summary of the news from tae European Times of the 19th ult. This intelligence was at once transmitted over the telegraphic wires to the New York Herald It came over the line in beautiful style, at the rate of twenty-five words a minute. It was flashed over the wires by Mr. Beach, the accom- plisied operator in the Boston office, and was re- ceived and copied with the greatest ease and fu- cility by Messrs. Foss and Cure, at this terminus of the telegraph. It is almost unnecessary to say that the news, in acommercial, as well as in a political point of view, is of the greatest importance. We refer our readers to the list of failures which have occurred in the two weeks previous to the 19th ult. It will be seen that they are not confined exclusively to the corn trade, but em- brace names which for nearly a century have ranked amongst the highest in the great com- mercial community of Europe.

Allison, Cumberlidge & Co however, that our loss has been severe; but whether Generals Worth, Pillow, and Smith, are among the killed, we cannot at present say, and cannot know to a certainty un- til we receive later advices. We fear, however, that there is too much truth in the Mexican statements to that effect. If the loss on our part was 80 severe, that on the Mexican side must have been tremendous. Indeed, we are inclined to think that the carnage which preceded the entry of our troops into Mexico, was greater than any that has occurred on either side since the commencement of the war. We shall await further intelligence from the capital with anxiety. On reviewing the terms submitted by the Mex- ican commissioners, we cannot avoid thinking that the armistice was a farce, and that Santa Aana never intended any thing more from it than time to enable him to complete the arrange- ments he was making for the battle which has recently taken place. It having been intimated in the Herald on several occasions that we were acquainted with the muin points of the terms of the treaty that Mr. Trist carried with him to Mexico, and likewise his instructions how to act, and nego- tiation having failed in securing what was hoped for, and Mr. Trist being about to return home, we consider ourselves at liberty to divulge them to our readers and to the world, a few days in advance of the time they would otherwise re- ceive them, for itis, we understand, the inten- tion of the administration to promulgate them through the Union immediately. The instructions to Mr. Trist were, to demand Upper and Lower California, and New Mexico, with the right of way for a railroad or canal across the isthmus of Tehuantepec, and as a per- manent boundary between the two countries, the Rio Grande, and thence along the thirty-gecond degree. His instructions were peremptory not to entertain any proposition that did not include the Rio Grande and the thirty-second degree; but if he were pushed very hard, and if immediate peace or @ continuation of the war depended upon insisting on the cession of Lower California and the right @f way across the Isthmus, or either, he was authorized to abandom them; but in no other case. In reply to these propositions, we learn that the Mexican Commissioners offered to cede that part of Upper California north of the thirty- seventh degree, but would not give an inch of Lower California or New Mexico; and relative to the strip of territory lying between the rivers Nueces and Rio Grande, they were not willing to cede that either, but wished it to remaina neutral territory between the two countries. These terms were of course refused, and our readers are acquainted with the result. Although Mr. Trist knew the sentiments of the adminis- tration on this subject, and was aware that he carried with him its ultimatum, he nevertheless asked for a suspension of hostilities for the apace of forty-five days, in order to allow time to com- municate with his government. To this he re- ceived an answer that he would get but five days. The torty-five days ought not to have been asked for. Oar readers may depend upon the correctness of what we have above stated; and we think we are not deceived in thinking that the armistice and the appointment of peace commissioners was a ruse ot Santa Anna to obtain time, and re- inforce himself for the purpose of making a stand before allowing our troops to enter the capital. We understand that it is the intention of the government to prosecute the war with the great- est vigor as long as it lasts; to conduct it so that the enemy, and not ourselves, will feel the bur- den of it; to levy contributions and make it pay for itself, without draining from this conntry any amount ol money of consequence. We are to have no more armistices—no more profiers of the olive branch—no more paying for supplies. The Mexicans are now to feel the full effect of the war. New Haven Marus—Aur, RIGHT GAIN.— The public willbe glad to learn tet We ae difficulty between the Post Master General and the Mail contractors on the New Haven route has been finally settled, an agent of the Post- office Department having returned here from Washington yesterday, with contracts executed, The mails are to go as formerly, by the steamer ‘Traveller, and the New Haven and Springfield Railroad, the new arrangement, as we under. | stand, commencing this morning.

Booker & Sons, ‘in London, have been well known, and their failure caused considerable alarm; but when the houses of D. & A. Denny, aid Gemmell, Brothers, of Glasgow, were known to have suspended payment, a general feeling of apprehensio », beyond the limits of the corn trade, spread far and wide. There have been many more extensive failures, and great commercial embarrassment was felt all over Europe. It is thought on this side, that the losses of Messrs. Denny will be felt severely in New Or- leans and New York. The London discount houses are great suffer- ors. The stoppage of Messrs. Gemmell, Brothers was cuused by the non-arrival of the last China mail; and its effects have already widely extend- ed, as the connections of the house were con- siderable, with Canton, Lima, and Valparaiso. The failure of A. Roux, [before reported in the | Herald,} in Paris, also connected with the Pa- cific trade, created a great sensation, the liabili- ties being between two and three hundred thou- sand pounds. The failures in Venice, Genoa, and in Paris, increased the general gloom. It may, therefore, be readily imagined what consternation wascre- ated in London on the 11th ult., when it trans- pired that Messrs. A. A Gower, Nephews & Co. of Coleman street, had stopped payment. The extensive banking and commercial relations of this house with Italy, Spain, France, South America, India, and the United States, cannot fail to produce corresponding mischievous re- sults, This house has been established nearly a cen- tury, and the founder died twenty years ago, at an advanced age, worth about £400,000. His nephews have since carried on the business. Mr. Abel Lewis Gower, the present chief, has been adirector of the Bunk of England for many years, and has also taken an active part in the company of Royal Copper Miners, but his connection with this latter body is said to have lately ceased. The liabilities of the house upon acceptances alone, were said to amount to £600,000. he other engagements, we should think, cannot fail to bring the total amount to nearly a million sterling. The house of Alison, Cumberledge & Co., of | London and Valparaiso, of which firm one of the Gower tamily is a partner, was immediately compelled to stop payment. It would be impro- per, atthia moment, to animadvert upon any act of the partner in Messra Gower’s firm, which may accelerate its ruin ; but it is plainly stated that losses on railway shures have contributed to this insolvency, whilet the failure of Gemmell, Brothers, of Glasgow, and the turn which politi- | cal affairs have taken in Spain, with which | country Messrs. Gowers were deeply compro- mised, have no doubt been the immediate causes of the catastrophe. From the nature of the dealings of the firm with Spain, it having been originally three- eights a Spanish house, there can be no doubt that the effects will be felt there as well as in Cuba, whence large shipments of sugar come annually into their hands. The failure of another Bank Director go re- cently after the disqualification of Mr. Robinson, has revived angry animadversions against the establishment of the Bank of England. Mr. A. L. Gower, being at present out of office by rb- tation, no change of officers will be rendered necessary. The public had scarcely recovered from these shocke, when it further transpired that Messrs. Sanderson & Co., bill brokers, which house stood second in the metropolis in their branch of business, had suspended payment. They were known to be heavy sufferers by Leslie, Alexan- der & Co., and Gower, Nephews & Co., anda severe run having been made upon them for money of their depositors, held at call, they were compelled to stop. Itis quite impossible to estimate the extent of their liabilities, as the amount of their endorsements on paper in cir- culation must be enormous. _ The nischief and interruption to discounts from this failure must extend to numerous classes in the metropolis, and in the } i mining districts. Whilst closing this fearful catalogue of failures, the intelligence reaches us that Keid, Irving & Co. of London, one of the oldest 60 far as the press is concerned. houses in the West India and Mauritius trade, besides having considerable business with*the Q have been com- pelled to stop payment. — | By the death of Mr. John Irving, M. Autrim, which happened yei the house lost the fit of ti ity ex: perience. Hig ‘property descended to his ne- phew, a partner in the house; but the firm being deprived of Mr. Irving’s great capacity for bu: ness, has not been able to contend against the overwhelming difficulties with which it has been beset. Sir John Rae Reid, the present chief, was Governor of the Bank of England in 1839, and still holds a seat in’ the direction. Thus no less than three Bank Directors have succumbed to the times within the last four weeks. It is stated in the London Exchange, that a gentleman connected with the firm of Prime, ‘Ward & Co., of New York, arrived by the Cam- bria, and that his presence inthe city had given confidence ‘and satisfaction. "The bills of this house upon Overend, Gurney & Co., which ar- rived by the Cumbria, have been accepted in dur course. The amount however, was only two thousand pounds. Messrs. Gowers’ failure, will, it isfeared, se- riously affect a moneyed institution inthe United States, which is in the habit of drawing ou them. The Ohio Life and Trust Company, which har stood high and deservedly so, in public estima- tion, being one of those who in 1837, honorably fulfilled all their engagements, it was antici- pated, would have a large amount of their drafts on Gowers’ house, returned by the Hibernia, bur it has been arranged that the Ohio Company’: bills, accepted, will be taken up by Messrs. Bir nett, Hoares & Co., the London bankers. The bills received by the Cambria, the Gowers off» r- ed to accept, but the holders will probably prefer returning them to the United States. Itis said that the Ohio Life and Trust Com pany will be creditors of Messrs. Gowers, Nephews & Co., for not less than fifty thousand pounds. The relaxation of the stringent measures of the Bank of England, in allowing loans on bills and stock at & per cent., till the 14th of October, however it may have rendered f cilities in some quarters, has not, as we anticipated, improved the position of the Bank itself. In the last four weeks there has been a de- crease of bullion to the amount of £371,865, In the last three weeks, only, the securities, i. e., the bills discounted, have increased to the ex- tent of £1,687,039. The bullion has decreased £315,646, whilst the reserved fund, which had decreased considerably, has recovered itself in the last week. Under these -circumstances, with a smaller amount of bullion than the Bank has ever had since the Bank Charter Act, it could have been only an earnest desire to re- lieve the commercial body, which induced the bank directors so far to depart from principle as to lend money at 5 per cent., when its actua value was higher in the market. The inevitable result has been, decreased pow- er to assist, with perhaps ultimately the necessi- ty for further stringent measures to protect them- selves. The continued failures in the corn market suf- ficiently account for the further depression in the prices of grain. During the first week of the month, on the market day of the 6th ult. prices still continued to recede; but towards the close of the week, both wheat and flour were in ac- tive requisition. This improvement was further maintained on the market day of the 13th, when wheat advanced about five shillings per quarter on the quotations of the 6th, and flour, for which there was an immense demand both in London and Liverpool, advanced three to four shillings per barrel. The top quotation for the better des- criptions of wheat was 62 shillings per quarter. In Liverpool the best Western Canal flour, which on the Ist was quoted at 25 chillings per barrel, and barely fetched that price, was selling on the 18th at 28 to 80 shillings. {Indian corn al- so had been in more demand, and higher rates had been paid for it; and the corn mar- ket, at the latest moment, appeared firm; but as large supplies were still expected from . P. for | abroad, and as the English harvest was admitted to be an abundant one, it was very doubtful whether further fluctuations would not take place before prices reached their natural level. Considerable purchases have been made in the market for Belgium and Holland, in consequence of the diseased appearance, of the potato crop in those countries, and these purchases have tended to strengthen the market. The state of commercial affairs and of the corn trade especially, render ic a matter of great difficulty to form a correct judgment of the fu- ture course of prices. At Mark Lane both onthe 15th and 17th ult. prices were alittle higher. There was a limited supply of wheat, and the stocks of the houses which had failed being withheld from the mar- ket, aided to produce a firmer tendency. The tenor of the advices from the United States, by which it is ascertained that no great supplies can go forward, has contributed to create a better feeling in the corn trade. Flour was quoted ia Liverpool on the 18th a 283. 6d. to 303., and in London on the 17:h at 293 ‘The grat want.of confidence which the late important London failures have produced in the money market, and the fact of the consumption of cotton still continuing upon a very contracted ale, together with the alieged unremunerating state of trade, have tended throughout the week ending 17th ult., toconsiderably depress the Liv- erpool Cotton Market, and to reduce quotations of a penny per pound. This quoted reduction, however, is perhaps rather more than the reality, except for the qua- lities which have been mostly acted upon, name- ly: the middling and inferior, and these are the descriptions which are not fixed by the Brokers’ Association in the standard price. It is in these that the greatest decline has been seen. It is quite certain that all reasoning still con- tinues in favor‘of cotton, but it is equally certain that if money is not only to be dear but ecarce, the trade of the country must suffer to such an extent as very soon to force upon government the necessity of considering whether the monetary system of the country is fixed upon a right foun- dation. Brazils, Egyptians, and Surats have all partak- en of the fall equally, and the transactions at the decline have been very limited. The sales for the week ending the 17th, with two thousand bales on that day, and a very quiet market, amount to 14,880 bales, including 120 American on speculation, and 3000 American and 50 Surat for export. i The quotations, according to the standard of the Brokers’ Association, are Fair Upland, 6263; Fair Mobiles, 6} ; Fair Orleans, 7}. The imports for the week were 40,708 bales, exclusive of four vessels arrived but not reported. At Paris, on the 3d instant, the Sardinian Am- baseador resident at the French Court presented at the office for Foreiga Affairs a diplomatic note from his government, of which the follow- ing is the substance : | In case his holiness, pope Pius 19th, should claim arm- od assistance of his mxjaty, the king of Sardinia, against Austrian invasion, his Sardinian majesty will consider himself bound not to refuse the sovereign pontiff that assistance, it being his duty as an Italian power, to cause the independence of ail the States of the penin- nule to be respected, »s guaranteed by the treaties of Vienna, ‘The communication was immediately forward- ed tothe King and M. ,Guizot, both of whom were absent from Pari In she chief politieal and diplomatic circles, this movement of Sar- dinia in favor of the Pope, excites the greatest sensation, sas ‘Telegraphic Despatch, No, 2. ult that the Marquis of No fy testi, * Guizot, and officially announced to him that the Brit government would not permit foreign ention in Italy. p tee on the ‘other hand, it was said, announced her intention of interfering in every town of Italy, in which a national guard should be established. The Semaphore de Marselles of the 13th ultimo, states that if the protests of England and France against the occupation of Ferrara, were produc- tive of no result, those two powers would effect a landing at Ancona and Civita Vecchio. The Pope was said to have declared to M. Rossi, that he would not, until the last extremi- ty, claim the assistance of the foreiga powers, and that he still hoped to induce the Austrians to evacuate the town,by the firmness of his attitude. It was rumored on the Bourse on Thursday, the 16th ult., that M. Guizot had refused to con- cur in any intervention in the affairs of Italy. Madrid journals of the 10th and 11th ult. state that the Duke De Frias had declined to accept the Presidency of the Council, but at the request of the Queen had promised to reconsidez the sub- ject, and to announce his definite unswer to her ajeaty on the 11th. Narvaez, who is intriguing actively, in con- junction with the Duke of Glucksburgh, for the over hrow of the new ministry, had an inter- view with the Queen on the 11th. The Faro states that an order had been given on the 6th to send 200,000 rials to General Es- vartero, and aleo to pay the Queen’s househ-ld. The same journal states that Marshal Soldanha has been nominated Minister of Portugal in Madrid. M. Cabestana, the new political chief of Ma- drid, had arrived, aid had immediately entered on the discharge of his duties, The latest letters from Catalonia mention the defeat of a Montemolin band of 300 men at Bin- olas Depostobella; of another from 800 to 900 men at Sabadell, and of three or four others oj minor importance at different places. The Fomente of Barcelona, of the 10th ult. states that the French troops had surprised a band of between 110 and 115 Carlist refugees, com- manded by Cortasa and Col. Ramonaibones, just as they were preparing to enter Spain, and that most of them were taken prisoners. Gen. Concha was to arrive at Barcelona on the 12th. Italy is still the scene of great excitement. Ta Lucfa and Tuscany, it will be observed that the population have extorted from their rulers a sort of pledge to promote progress, whilst their liberties have been secured by the institution of the Civic Guard, from the two Sicilies. The accounts which reach us are vague and conflicting, but it is evident that a serious move- ment is gradually working in favor of popular rights. The Austrians have faltered in the execu- tion of their ambitious designs on Italy. Prince Metternich no doubt imagined that the Italian states might be as easily absorbed into Austria as Cracow was last year; but the resistance of the population of the whole of Italy, and the decided opposition of England, have so tar wrought upon Prince Metternich, that he has written an apolo- getic noteto President Ochbensein, whose po- litical existence he before scarcely recognized, endeavoring to explain away the occupation of Ferrara by the Austrian troops. There is no doubt that some diplomatic ex- cuse will be framed to enable the Austrians t« retrace their steps, and retire from Ferrara, un- less some event should happen, either in Naples, or in the Papal dominions, to excite further the alarm of Prince Metternich, lest the liberal sen- timents now finding loud expression throughou Italy should extend into Venetia’ Lombardy, and perhaps reach Vienna itself. The Germans are as ready as the Italians to strike a biow in favor of constitutional and reli- gious freedom. Letters from St. Petersburg of the 7th ull., state that the city has been visited with the most terrible storm of wind and rain ever expe- tienced within the ‘memory of the oldest inha- bitant.” It rained incessantly for forty-eight hours, whilst the wind blew with intense vio- lence. The result of this visitation was the de- struction of above 400 houses. Atone period fears were entertained for the safety of the en- tire city; and some timid and superstitious per- sons apprehended that the end of the world was athand. The Nouvellisn de Marseilles, of the 14th ult., mentions that an insurrection took place at Na- ples on the 8th. One account stated that the King had fled. And another that he had fa'len into the hands of the insurgents. The Censeur de Lyons contains the same an- nouncement. Bologna letters of the 9th ult. announce that the Duke de Modena and his family had left their dominions, and retired to Tharma. It was currently believed in Bologna, that Austria would take military possession of the Duchy; and was determined to interfere in Ro- magna and Tuscany. In Jreland there appears to be a general incli- nation to resist the repayment of the loans ad- vanced by government, through the reliet com missioners, to the several poor law boards throughout Ireland, for the purpose of alleviating the universal distress which prevailed in that country during the past year. Sach conduct will, no doubt lead to very serious results, especially ifthe government insists upon the repayment ot {Here the telegraph suddenly stopped, and re- fused to have any further communication with New York.
