This seems to have accelerated the proceedings; for the men were shortly afterwards given tp and sent on board. ‘They spoke in warm terms of the kindness they expe- rienced from the Duteh resident at Nangaseki, to whose house, we understand, they were taken after being liberated.

The Preble also touched at Loo-choo, a most welcome visit to Dr. Bettelheim, who continues to live there, free from any serious molestation; but from the fact that the Loo-ehooans were very urgent that he should be taken away in the Preble, we imagine he is making RO great progress in their good graces.

The steamer, sailing with was fortunately driven e before she and eunk. she her passengers remained on board twenty-four hours, when they were hutmanely rescued by the propeller Delaware, Capt. Tuttle, and bronght to this city this morning. When the storm tuged with the greatest violence, the scenes in the cubin and state rooms are repre- to have been truly heartrending; many of the passengers were unable from sea sickness to leave their berths, and the wailing of those able to be around the cabin, mingied with the roaring of the waters and winds, and the working of the tm- bers of the boat, is said to have been a scene that would have affected the stoutestheart. The and partitions of the state rooms near the centre of the boat, as each wave would strike, were torn to splinters; and persons remaining in their berths near this part of the boat were often in the most critical situation. The floor of the upper saloon would rise and fall conforming to the size of the waves, as a gentleman who watched it remarked, “tke a piece of canvass disturbed by the wind.”” Every moment they expected would be the last, and that the immense hull would break near the centre, and all find a watery grave. For many miles by the force of the wind and water, the noble craft would careen so that the water would nearly reach the hatches. ‘The fire- men, worked until they were driven from the hold by the water and the fires nearly extin- guished. When he first struck the shore, the crash of timbers and the shock was very severe, throwing the furniture and loose materials about the cabins and decks in the utmost confusion, and causing the wildest consternation among the per- sons on board. Nearly every moveable article in the cabins, kitchens, pantries, &c , was scattered im every direction. After she first struck, the three succeeding waves drove her higher up oa shore, which at this point fortunately is sand and rayel, until she lay comparatively stationary, gra- uel working into the sand and becomug tho- rou; rly imbedded. There was bat little freight on beard. Various opinions are expressed by those who have seen the wreck, in regard to yet her off; it ia, however, generally comeeded, that trom the appearance at the time the Delaware left, it would be a very difficalt undertaking. The en- gine, machinery, farniture, and considerable por- toa of her r works and cabins will be saved, without any Youbet. Captain flazcrd and the crew remained on board the Empire State, and were getting off and securing trom the wreck such por- tions a were in immediate danger. The Niagara ssed, on her way up, within sight of the Empire State daring the etorm; but it 1s evident, from there’ not being any intelligence from Mya that she did net discover the Empire State in dis- tress. The Empire State was the largest steamer on the lakes. Her hall was built on the St. Clair river, doring the winter of 1817, and sold to the present owners, who took it to Baflalo. ler die mensions were +310 feet deck, 37 feet beam, 60 feet extreme breadth, 15 feet hold ; 1,709 tons bur- es i ine was the most powerfal of any on » ot 18 inch cylinder, 12 feet strok horse power.

COMMERC'AL APFAIB MONEY 4ARKET. Sunday, August 19-6 P. M. The stock market closed yesterday very much de- | pressed. During the week, prices rallied once ortwice, but they could not be sustained, and the bears have since bad things all their own way. The money mar- | ket continues exceedingly easy, and, notwithstanding the inereased demand, the rate of interest ranges from | 4to 6 per cent, for loans on call. All this is in favor of @ speculative movement in faucy stocks; but there is | not the remotest prospect of such a state of things | arising, or the bulls having an opportunity of getting | rid of their large lots of stocks, Within the past week or two, prives have been very uniform, and purchasers have been obliged to carry their stocks, or sell them at loss, This disheartens operators, and {t is calculated to destroy what little speculative feeting there was left, | Purchasers of any particular fancy stock, for a rise, are | the most impatient speculators in existence; and if an advance is not realized soon, they sell out, and try their luck im some other. Years of such business haye almost completely used up the class of outsiders which has given at times such an impetus to inflations in Wall street, and the brokers have been left entirely to their own resources. The bears find purchasers in the bulls,and the bulls are compelled to hunt up purehasers out of the street. This gives the boars, at all times, | an sdvantege, which is made at times immensely productive, ‘The bulls purchase in anticipation of a demand; and if that demand is not realised, they must, by depreciation in priees and accumu- letion of interest, be large losers. How often this happens, is too well known by certain parties in Wall street, apd ninety-nine out of amy one hundred ont- side operators have a vivid recollection of a large handful of their fleece being left in the hands of some of the stock speculators of thet dangerous neighbor- hood. Wesee no more of these enormous cornering operations, such as vsed to create such excitements in Wallstreet, for the want of material, and in sonse- quence of the change which has taken place in the minds of the wealthiest and shrewdest operators rela- tive to the value of the leading fancies. There are very few brokers, either bulls or bears, who have any confidence in these stocks, or who really believe | they are worth any thing. All the difference that now exists between the two classes of stock operators, 1s, the | bulls believe that the fools are not all dead—that people ean again be brought into a speculation; while the bears Delieve that the public generally have got enough of | stock speculations, and that the events for the past year or two are sufficient to deter any outsiders from again meddling with such worthless and dangerous things.— ‘The bears have faith in the second sober thought of the people, while the bulls believe that it is only ne- cessary to properly bait the hook to eateh plenty of fish. The annexed statement ewbibits the quotations for stoeks in this market, for eaeh day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. It will be seen that there has been very little variation in any of the fancies:— Quoranions ron rae Parorean Sroexs im Taz = He = ew hl oy a ae es & ARAB E BS BY BY Bh Bi Fe eS on Unt fee market yesterday, with those ruling st the elose of the Previous week, exhibits a decline in Treasury Notes of ‘Sy per cent; Erie Railroad, ing Bonds of % per eent; Reading Railroad, %; Har- lem, %; Long Island, 34; Farmers’ Loan, 4; Centon Company, %. There is every indication of a revival of business, ‘The importations during the past week have been tm- mene, and our importers have inereased their stooks yergely. Several large cargoes are aficat, and will pro- bably arrive this month, when the bulk of the fall im- portations will beover. Our auction sales have eom- meneed with a great deal of spirit, and merehants from the interior already are crowding our hotels. The rapid | disappearance of cholera has given an impetus to trade, _ and notwithstending the misgivings which haveezisted, the prospect at present is highly favorable. There is ne city in the Union that affords so many inducements for the eountry merchants to visit it for business aa this, and the difference in prices, facilities for purchasing, and advantages of large stccks in making selections, are so great here, that it will repay @ visit from the most dis+ tantly loeated dealer. Our auction rooms alone are suffl- cient attraction to the country merebant, as he stands | side by side with the city jobber, and can purehase at the first price, and upon terms as favorable as those ‘with whom he would deal in other cities. So long as New York maintains the supremacy in the import | tiade, she has little to fear from the rivalry of other cittes, Suceessful competition is absolutely out of the question, The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, up tothe closo of business yesterday, | amounted to $200,170 63; peyments, $4,591 52; advices, $13,000; Dalance, $2 717,804 05. During the last week, | the deposits have increased about eight hundred thou- | tand dollars, and the amount on hand at the close yerterday, was larger eum than has been known fora long time. The receipts last week for duties, were rising $1,200,000, and this week the amount {s likely to be pearly as large. Drawers ot the best bills on London were yesterday ashing 0's @ 03 per cent premium, and we have no doubt but thet the rate for the packet leaving this port on Wednesday will rule well up to the epeeie shipping point. Parties having remittances to make are afraid to forward United States securitios, as the last accounts from London were unfavorable for any great increase of supply upon that market. It is our impression that shipments of epecic, to some extent, | will be made within the next sixty days. | Recent accounts from Havana are of the most favor- able character as regards the pending crop of sugar throughout the island. A speculative demand had, in the early part of the month, raised prices, and, al- though latterly not many transactions had taken place, planters held out firmly for the rates which have been paid. The exports, this year, have been much less than for the corresponding period last, notwith- standing whieh, the reduced stoeks of inferior quali- ties must prevent any material redyotion in prioes, » UF" Superior qualities were more abundant, and it was pro- | bable a decline in whites might be realized.
