More failures had been an- nounced, and the revulsion had reached some ot the most extensive houses in the united king- dom. The suspension of the Royal Bank of Liverpool had created a great deal of alarm, and it was impossible to form any idea of where the ;novement would be arrested. At the rapid rate of descent realized within the past three months, the bottom must soon be reached, and the panic subside for the want of materials to feed upon. Itis announced, by telegraph, that filty-five failures have been reported between the depar- lure of the Cambria and the Caledonia, a period of fourteen days. We should judge from the repetition made in the list of names given by this arrival, that many of the old suspensions have been included in the last reports. At all events, a sufficient number has been announced to satisfy any one that the commercial credit of the country had been shaken to its centre. The suspepsion of the Royal Bank of Liverpool is, ia fact, nothing more than the suspension of any large commercial house, and the actual effect willbe no more. The suspension of one of our State or city banks, would have as much in- fluence upon the markets in this country, | as the suspension of the Royal Bank of Liverpool will have upon the markets of England. The failures announced by this arrival are no more than we anticipated. We have all along predicted more suspensions; and the next steamer will, no doubt, bring another batch; but we have no fears that the revulsion will have sufficient influence upon the Bank of England, or upon the leading bank- ing houses of London, to produce any disestrous results. The Bank of England is beyond the reach of any crisis in the money market. It stands as fast and as firm as the government itself, amidst the crash going 02 around it. Whatever may be its losses, whatever may be the condi- tion of the banking department of the institution, a suspension is entiely out of the question; and those who look for such an event, will be most agreeably disappointed. The issuing depart- ment is so fixed, under the present act, that there is no-such think as a suspension, so long as the government securities are of any value; in fact, the government guarantees the 1s- sues of the bank for a certain amount; and if every pound of bullion in the vaults of that institution is drawn outof it, the circula- tion cannot go below fourteen millions of pounds sterling. We see by our accounts that the bank had passed a very important crisis in the revul- sion—the payment on account of the Govern- ment debt; and it is highly probable thatthe embarraesments of many houses became so great “the Country, and the defeat of the democratic | Was so much distinguish to take an i and successful stand next year, when defeat in New York would be identical with the defeat of the party throughout nominee forthe Presidency. Their mada if madnass it was, had in it; and wewould | not be surprised if the democratic party in th | State would next yearemerge from its voluatarily dug grave, aud sweep the State as completely and perfectly as it was swept by the whigs in the election which has just terminated. The very fact of the whig majority being so tremen- dous, is proof of what we state; for it is well known that the ‘two parties are pretty evenly balanced in the State of New York, und that no one can boast of ever having, in times of the greatest political excitement, a majority of more than three to five thousand over the other. No, the struggle between the contending fac- tions of the democratic party for ascendancy, has directly produced the result we have just witnessed ; and itis folly to regard it as a deli- berately expressed censure, by the masses of the people, on the course of the general administra- tion, or an approval of the principles of the Wilmot proviso. Larer rrom Arrica—Arrivat or THE UNITED Srares Bric Douruin.—The U. 8. brig Dolphin, John Pope, Esq., Commander, arrived yester- day, having sailed from Porto Praya on the 12th ultimo, leaving in port the U. S. frigate United States, Captain Joseph Smoot, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore George C. Read, and the U.S. brig Boxer, Henry H. Bell, Lieut. Com- manding. The officers and crews of both vessels were in good health, The Boxer had just re- turned from the Coast, and reported that the colonists at Liberia had declared their indepen- dence, and were proceeding to elect a president. The Dolphin has been absent two years, hav- ng sailed from Norfolk in November, 1845. This is a longer time than any vessel has been kept on the Atrican station previously. She has made four long cruises on the West Coast, be- tween Sierra Leone and the Congo. The health of the fofficers and crew has been good, with some exceptions. She has lost no men with the coast lever. Died, at sea, Feb. 28:h, 1847, James Smith, ship’s cook, (colored) of dropsy. October 19th, | David Harris, landsman, dysentery.

Park Tueatae.—Tue Orena.—Balfe’s beautiful opera} < ‘The Maid of Artois,” was brought out last evening, be, fore one of the most brilliant houses that ever met within the walls of “old Drury.” ‘The first and second tiers of boxes were crowded to inconvenience, and the pit was filled in every part. Madame Bishop’s Isoline was s most exquisite impersonation, full of gushing tenderness and truthful self-devotion. There was scarcely a heart in the large and educated assembly by which she was greeted that did not acknowledge the power Madame B. possesses over the imagination. Some artists enchain the attention, and gratify the sense, by melody and musi.) cal effect ; but here, the combination of dramatic acqui- sition of the highest order, with a voice of unequalled flexibility and purity, r Madame B. one of the most distinguished melo-dramatists of the presont day Every ‘ine of her intellectual countenance—every movement of her person—every change of her expressive eye—de- note the “ working of the soul within.” Who but has felt the effect of the passionate bursts of love and hatred and sorrow, a8 they come on the ear in the garb of her delicious music?

The losses which | have fallen upon a large portion of the commer- cial community of Great Britain, must be im- mense, and many of the failures reported by this | arrival, have, no doubt, been caused by the early suspensions. The commercial classes are so in- timately connected in all their business relations, that the stoppage of any number of large houses must inevitably lead to others; and so on, until the whole ground has been covered, and the connection completely dissolved. All these movements lead to one grand and de- sirable result the extermination of all those houses which have beer. engaged in speculations or operations beyond their means; and we can- not expect any improvement until the commer- | cial world has been purged of these concerns. The principal markets of Great Britdin appear to be in a deplorable state. Under existing cir- cumstances, we could not have expected any- thing differest. The state of the manufacturing districts forbids all hope of any immediate | change for the better in the cotton market. | As for corn, so long as the money markets con- | tinue so stringent, we must expect to see the de- | pression in pricce for breadstufls continue. Tar Resvct or tus Exvection—Tur Cavsr.— It is amusing to read the comments that have appeared in the whig journals con- cerning the result of the election in this Stat On perusing them, one can hardly refrain from laughing at the absurdity of the statements they set forth, and the causes | which they insist produced the defeat of the de- mocrats. The whig editors vainly imagine that 3n casting their votes for State officers and mem- bers of the Legislature, the people of the city id State of New York desired to cast censure the course pursued by the administration in ur Mexican relations, and approve of the in- diary and treasonable course pursued by the ilmot proviso party, in both branches of Con- es, during the last session of that body. So far from this being the case, we are satis- d the people of the Empire State never dreamed at such issues were at stake in the contest just rminated in favor of the whigs. The causes hich led to their success are palpable and self- ident. They can be clearly traced te the old lousy and bickerings in the democratic party, ich have been accumulating and increasing strength every day to the day of election. enthe scenes of the Syracuse convention hed the public eye, through the medium of press, every person of the least judgment ction which was to follow. The cohesion unity so essential to success in the political ‘id, were wanting in the democratic party.— ks were cut up and divided into factions, een whom there was not a particle of imity of purpose, and each of which ed disposed todo its utmost to cause de- and disgrace to the party at large. To carry is purpose, thousands in the city and State with their opponents; but to say that by as they did, they intended to favor the ot proviso, and acquiesce in the whole- lenunciations of the Mexican war, is to | ore than the premises will justify. | fact is, there were no principles decided the late contest. The democrats were ted and disunited; and it is shrewdly sus | that their leaders and wire pullers en- | ¢ moment they saw the party in danger, hope that defeat would reunite the party in w that defeat awaited the party at the | d the defection to the fullest extent, | sages,ending with those lines— “Thac once with high devotion warm, Is cold and altered now,” must be remembered those who were amazed and delighted by the half note shake. so imper- ceptibly blending in its ascent. In the third act, the scene between Isoline and Jules, inthe desert, | was mi with great effect, and it afforded Ma- dame Bishop another 0} unity of showing the versatility of her power.

He was in magnificent voice. It has | been remarked in musical circles, that in tone and com- pass, Mr. Reove's voice very closely resembles that of | the celebrated tenor who accompanied Jenny Lind to London, (Monsieur Gardone, it we mistake not); and it has been further said, that if Reeve the same confidence and stage effect asthe other, he would not be | inferior to any living tenor. The “Light of other days” by Guibiely, was merely passsble. Signor De Begnis’ imitation of the mad musician rehearsing a grand over- ture, was capital, and kept the house in roars of laugh- | ter.’ The cavatina, “Se M’Abbandoni, given by | Madame G. Maocfarren, wos | wUeVen bus some | pe were pleasing, and were applauded. Ye | Pavetion “Dall Eridano si stende,” sung by A. Val- tellina, evidenced the fall volume and deep tone of a most powerful voice. which was managed with much science. Madame Bishop appeared in the acena and duetto from the second act of “ Norma,’ sasisted by Mlle Korsinski, The duetto was given with such scion- tifle jbo mp and sweetness that the audience, at its termination, broke forth iato one vehement burst of oheering. Mr. Brough sang “the Wolfe” in s very ef- fective and pleasing manner. The entertainment was wound up by scene from the opera of “the Love Spell,”’ introducing the favorite romanoe, “ In her dark eyes,” and the grand Rondo finale, composed by Doni- zetti, for Madame B. The chorusses were much im- proved, and the music was ster J thing that could be desired, remembering ita lim! numerical operatic pro- portion. Nothing could be more appropriate in bi ing the amusements of the evening to « delightful mination than plendid treat afforded in the Rondo. The sudience was unreasonable enough to encore it repeatedly. We seldom have witnessed greater enthu- siasm than pervaded the house; and taking ,the per- formances asa whole, we are convinced last’ evening will be long remembered in the musical annals of York. The “Maid of Artois” will be repeated evening, with the addition ofa grand scena snd cav tina from “ Tanoredi.”” Bowery Tutatre —As we announced in yesterday's paper, Mr. I’, H. Blakeley will take a benefit at the Bow- ery theatre this evening. A very good bill is advertised for the oooasion—one which, apart from Mr. Blakely’s claims on the theatre-going public, is well calculated to fill the house. The first piece that will be performed, will be the “ Carpenter of Rouen,” a drama, the merit of which bas been acknowled: too often to need our re- ferring to it.

C, Reiw’s Lecture on tHe Scouts anv Sen- vick of tHe Texan Rancens.—It is in the nature of | such wars as that which we are now engaged in with Mexico, to call forth, especially among a people such as | our people, extraordinary instances of talent and sur. prising developments of character and genius. Thus, it war has its evils,—and who will deny that it isa great and terrible evil ? yet does it bring with it countervail- ing advantages; and if it destroy with the ravaging power oi & tempest, it often leaves a good behind, in the purification it has made of stagnant and unhealtby ‘a'mosphere. We should probably never have heerd*the name ofthe gentleman mentioned at the head of this urucle, had it not been tor this war; and we have no he- elvation in affirming that we look upon Mr Reid as one of the extraordinary minds and spirits of our extraordi- times, der +. to shine, if life is spared, in a bril- nt course of high utility to his f-llow creatures, and eumiuent hovor u. uit»ge and cougtry. Mr. Reid,though quite 4 wog min. ani who has hardly got rid of ‘prima Janogo” of yvuthful cheeks, has yet gone through eae A reat and exciting scenes of life, such as no o1 woul fecaatoes tojudge by his very juvenile ap; earat A post,asoldie- an author, a lawyer,s lecturer, Mr Reid ta, ulready lived a losg life, though 1m reality but just puxeed across the tuxeabhold of its portals Such things sometimes are, though they are rere; but who, while he gives che meed of admiration to such a genius, would, if he knew the age of inward feelings gone through—if he knew thekeen sensibilities, the deep sufferings, all the long p«nfal mental life—who, we ask, would envy such Tare examples of precocious talent and variegated nius? But it is time we should take some netice of interesting lectures delivered by this young hero, on the singular subject he has selected, on the scenes of warfare he has been engaged in—of which he can say as Enas said of old, “quorum pars ma 6 fuk The an immense amount of romance in the histery of Texa: so much 80, that if not well authenticated, it wonld be inoredible in these, our unromantic times We well re- member the day when the first news was brought to ‘Washington City of the battle of San Jacinto and the capture of Santa Anna; the affair was so improba- bls—so ridiculously romantic nd improbable--that it was treated as a hoax in the Senate Chamber when related to the assembling Senators The whole history of Texas is @ similar romance, and it has met with its Livy in that able and.elegant bistorian, Henry Stuxrt Foote. Not among the least romantio of Texan feats, Texan exploite and Texan heroes, is the ody to whose daring intrepidity and valuable services Mr Reid has so ably succeeded in doing justice to in the lectures in question. This lecture was delivered yesterday evening, (Nov 4th) before u fasbionable and diatinguished audience, among whom might have been not ced the gallant General Gaines and other eminent characters. We are apt to imagine that we know all about the subject in question, if we have kept pace witn the ‘newspaper accounts as they come under our duily notice. Thisis a mistake, and we are persuaded that noone could have heard thia lecture without learning something new, and gaining instruction and information ot which we had uo previous idea. Mr. Reid was quite happy in his description and account of the Mexican peopie. Who would believe it possible? Yet such is the strange fact—Mexico at this day exhibits that singu ‘ar organization of society wich belonged, we had almost thought, to by-gone history, viz. the Feudal System! In Mexico there are the great the secondary lords ‘or tenants, and the serfs or vassals, all in as perfect a state of passive existence as we read of in the times of Richard Cceur de Lton, or of Henri Quatre. Much was to be learned of this interesting subject from this pleasing lecture, and the lecturer, though young in ears, is evidently ® rapid, vivid and keen observer. Bat with what poetic taste, elegance and imagery was bis description given of the great subject and theme of the evening, the scouts themselves! One might have fancied that one was listening to Sir Walter Scott him- self, in @ sudden excess of poetical inspiration, giving a glowing account ot the border warriors, in some wild and romantic expedition of the Lowland chiefs. Here we were introducnd to wild and romantic scenes,and the lecturer toucheofthem with the skill of a Salvator Rosa. ‘There were to be sven a rude, wild band of men with fa- vage looks, deep ,ieayy mustachios, long, flowing hair, encamped around cheir midnight fire, their horses mixed with them in unconstrained familarity—men with the stamp of fearless liberty on their brows- a band of bro- thers, ready to give death, and to take it, too at any moment, by night or by day. We feel we must quit the sabject, for we cannot do it justice; the lecturer, to be appreciated, must be heard. We shall say, therefore, nothing of his astonishing descriptions, especiully that of the rich rcenery in the neighborhood of Sierra Alvo —of his animated scenes of Monterey and Buena Vista —of the manner in which these famed Texans acted their part in all this war. We can only say that they are precisely such lectures as aie calculated to instruct and entertain all ages, to kindle patriotism, to awaken genius, toimprove the mind, and warm up all the best sensibilities of the heart. Prorssson Aoassiz’s Lecture Last Evexixa.— Another very crowded auditory assembled last evening at the Hall of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, to hear {Professor Agassiz. Indeed, the excitement pro- duced by these interesting investigations into the curious phenomena of the animal kingdom, and the phi- losophy of natural history, te increasing over “What is your views with regard to the succession of animals in geological times?” “Have you studied the doctrines advanced in the Vestiges of the C' ligious, philosophical and literary circles; and singularly totore eschewed all these subjects of philosophical ex- quiry, are amongst the most ardent disciples of Profesfor Agassiz. Even the ladies are becoming quite interested in this fascinating department of phiiosophy; so that Agassis divides with Madame Bishop the converss- tion of the drawing rooms, and the last plates of the fashions have given place to diagrame of the “radiata” and “molusoa.”” The performer was, as usual, greeted in very cordial manner on his en- trance into the hall He entered, in this lecture, upon the investigation of the articulated animals, and began by pointing out the defective character of tbe classifica- tion of this order of the animal kiogdom, as found in the text books at preseot in use He showed that the infuso ria and intestinal worms whic . have beon heretofore in- oluded amongst the radiated animals, wholly belong to the articulat.

We may avoid further enumeration, by stating that altogether fifty-five howses have either bro- ken down or suspended payment, since the de- parture of the last steamer. Yesterday it was announced that the Royal Bank of Liverpool had been compelled to suspend payment, and the in- formation turned out to be too correct. At pre- sent it is impossible to give any thing like a re- liable statement of the position of the establish- ment, but it is understood to possess assets suffi- cient to meet all its liabilities.

The object of his visit had express relation to the monetary condition of the town, and to the best means by which trade could be relieved. ‘The Lord Mayor of London gave a splendid entertainment to the Duke of Cambridge and a large company, on Saturday week. The inv’ tions ineluded his Excellency the American | Minister and three Polish Princes. Mr. Ban- croft’s health was proposed, and his address was very warmly received. His Excellency has had two interviews with the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer this month. Parliament has been prorogued till the 11th November, when it will be further adjourned till January, for the despatch of business. The Mayor of Liverpool, attended by one of the representatives and five of the leading mer- chants of the place, proceeded to London on the evening of the lth, for the purpose of represent- ing to the government the deplorable condition of mercantile affairs. The prospects for Ireland, during the approach- ing winter, are gloomy eneugh. Famine in an aggravated form has already re-appeared,and the (Queen's letter issued, commanding general col- | lections to be made in the church establishment. In jltaly, Ferrara is about to be completely evacuated by the Austrian troops, and the Pope will be preserved undisturbed in his career of civil and administrative reform. e civil war in Switzerland is still impend- ing, and serious disturbances have taken place in the Two Sicilies. In Spain, Espartero has peen suddenly dis- placed from the head of the new ministry, and Navarez installed in his stead. French influ- ence has been again successful in that country.

Loxnox Money Manuert, Oct 18.—The money mar. ket continues most stringent, but the London papers of 1 «st night indulge hopes of a partial restoration of ease, owing to the ciroumstance of a very heavy payment on the consol settlement, the eivht millions loan, and the advances from the bank having been completed last week. The public seourities are very unsteady again. The stock exchange opened with some degree of firmness yesterday, but suddenly declined in the absence of any particular ascertained circumstance. Con- sols commenced at 81 a 81%, but fell to 903% 4 for transfer.

Tut Great Trotrine sporting community is ins high state of xcitement at the approach of the trotting match betwee: Lady Sut- ton and Ripton, which takes ploce at the Centreville course on Monday next. The contest is a match for $2000. Both nags are now in fine order—Ripton particularly ‘We learn from the owner of this horse that he wilt positively go, unless zome unforeseen accident intervenes. We are not astonished at the great interest manifested upon this affair—nor that strangers from @ distance are hurrying here to witness it; for we expect thet it will prove one of the moat interesting trotting matches that has ever taken place in America, and one upon which more money will be lost and won. In no other counti does the trotting branch of turf sports receive the tention it does hero The peculiar training which the trotter has to undergo in order to arrive at any degree of excellence, is, undoubtedly. better understood by the sportsmen of America than thore of Eogland—for here, while we com; with them inall the qualities of the fleet racer, we have not overlooked the quulities of the useful trotter, but have continued to improve the breed of the latter until it has almost reached per- feotion, and it may be sald, given our trotting nage w superiority over those of any other nation The match oa Monday next will, doubtless. afford evidence of the remarkable qualities of the American trotter.
