Spain. ‘The Istest news we have from this country is ‘Tho Latest Intelligence from i nok x C2 2 & under date of the 17th ultimo, and the accounts are conflicting as usual. £/ Heraldo makes the following calculation on the result of the late elec- tions, which, it will be seen, have turned out suc- cessfally tor the ministry:—One hundred and seven- ty-five of the ancient deputies have been re-elected, one bundred and forty-five have lost their elections, and one hundred and fifty-four did not belong to the last Congress. Since the withdrawal of M. Bravo Murillo, the late President of the Council, General Roncali has been nominated to that office. He is one of the officers who distinguished himself in the War of the Succession, and was Governor-General of Cuba during Lopez's first expedition. His experi- ence in the government of that colony may have contributed to his elevation to that high office, for there is evidently a feeling of great disquietude existing in Spain as to is possessions in the Antilles, The papers continue to announce “that the last news from Cuba is very satisfactory; but the repeated enanciation of the fact in the Spanish journals would augur the most anxious solicitude on the sub- ject. Of the other members of the cabinet, M. Liorente is certainly the most distinguished; he was lately in the ministry of M. Bravo Murillo, and, in | his present position of Minister of the Interior, was Girecting his attention to establish clearly the finan- | cial state ef Spain, when the late President of the Council left the cabinet. His object in doing so is to avoid personal responsibility, and not to mix him- self up with the official acts of the late mimstry. On his advent to office he found the national trea- sary in the most emBarrassed condition, some of the Madrid papers placing the deficit in the finances at the enormous sum of five hundred and sixty millions of reals, but at the same time accompanying the statement with the remark, ‘that they do not guaran- tee the exactitude of this news, nor the actual amount of public money in the treasury.” From the short ac- count under the head of “Spain,” by the latenews that arrived by the Africa, it would appear that the Bank of San Fernando, at Madrid, had agreed to make an advance to the government of fifty-two millions of reals, on the credit of the receipts at Havana in 1854, We learn, through other channels, that both | M. de Salamanca and M. Bahner, one of the repre- sentatives in Madrid of Rothschild’s house, have proceeded to Paris, in relation to the financial affairs of one of the great national enterprises which the government has undertaken, viz.: the establish- ment “of a railroad between Madrid and Iran. In the meantime, the ministry was busily occupied in preparing to lay as favorable a statement as possible ot the finances before the deputies, at the reassem- bling of the Cortes, which was to take place on the first of the present month; and the Minister of Finances had asked his colleagues to furnish their projects of budgets, so that he might prepare his to lay before Parliament. The hypothecation of the | revenues © Havana for 1854, in tavor of the Bank of | San Fernando, for the loan of fifty-two millions, which it bas made to government, establishes most conclusively, in conjunction with the other facts, that the financial condition of Spain was never ina worse condition than it is at present, and that, unless assistance is rendered from some quarter or other, the government will soon be on the verge of national bankruptcy. Nor can the political state of the country be viewed, in other respects, under more auspicious circum- stances. It will be remembered that, on the assem- bling of the last Cortes, on the lst of December, a controversy immediately arose on the occasion of the nomination of the President of the Congress. M. | Tejada was the candidate who was supported by | the cabinet of Madrid, whilst M. Martinez de la Rosa was the nominee of the opposition, who elected him. This gave riseto the dissolution of the Cham- ers, and it is, therefore, rather surprising that, by Whe very latest accounts received from Madrid, Yhe government should have fixed upon M. Martines de la Rosa as the ministerial candi- Sate for the office. From this and other attendant | Pircumstances, we are inclined to believe that the policy ef the cabinet will be to conciliate the opposi- tion; and should this prove to be the case, there is no | doubt that it will carry through those projects of | political reform which it proposed to accomplish with the concurrence of the new Parliament. These, indeed, would be great boons to the subjects of Queen Isabella, for, comprising as they do, a complete | reorganization of the constitution, and the establish ment of personal liberty, and the security of private property, they would meet the views of the most sanguine friends of reform in the State. Onthe other hand, La Gaceta, of Madrid, publishes a royal ordi- mance naming forty-three new Senators, with the view to neutralize the opposition in the upper house; and the Clamor Publico, La Espana, andthe El Diario Espanol,of the 13th February, were seized by order of government, (it is not said for what cause,) and La Nacion and the Las Novedades expe- rienced a similar fate on the preceding day. It is evident that the government found fault with certain comments of the press, for in a late number of the Clamor Publico we see it complains of the state of the press in Madrid, which, it says, was never more Precarious. Nearly all the journals of the capital had been seized, and some of them had to submit | four different editions to the fiscalof the press be- | | fore he allowed them to be issued. Tue accounts contained in the papers we have seen, are 40 conflicting that it is almost impossible to | give a definite idea of Spanish politics, but the above | may, in the main, be relied upon as correct. The | changes in the personne! of the administration seem | to be of frequent occurrence; but there is no doubt | the government would have assumed more stability | after the aseembling of the Cortes. We shall look | yith anxiety for the proceedings of that legislative yody, which, in the present state of our relations Jith Spain, possess more than usual interest. With woh men as the Count d’Alcoy and M. Llorente in be Spanish ministry—who are justly celebrated, as Yell for their distinguished literary attainments as their knowledge of the science of political gov ernment—they may pursue a different policy from that which has hitherto characterized the Spanish councils, and any change would be for the better.

It has given official notice that it will settle its own por- tion of the debt which Peru owed Colombia. Our of them, undoubtedly aware, that when the republic was subdivided into New Gran- ada,Vi , and Ecuador, each State was entitled to a certain share of the debt, but New Granada was | in some sort empowered to claim the shares of the others as well as that of her own.

On the following mcrning (Sunday), at about half-past nine o'clock, some canoes came off from Massett r, we being ‘about four miles off, to the northwest. I commenced trading with them for fish, belie that to be their object, az nearly all of the canoes more or kk fish in them. I now counted twenty-five canoes around the ship, but never suspected an attack, having had a similar number around her before; I therefore continned trading on the starboard side of the quarter deck. ‘The chief, Edensaw, was passing the tobacco into the eanoes, one of the seamen lowering the fish into thg hold, | and another on the maindeck at the port gangway. While in this scattered position a large canoe came along on the port side, and ohe of the Indians jumped over the wettings on the deck. Iran from the quarter deck to stop him and make him leave the ship, but at this signal ‘the vessel was boarded simultaneously on all sides by at least one hundred and fifty men. I was in a moment completely surounded and overpowered. Robert Ford, the man in the gangway, was knocked down and stripped of his clothes; Jawes Cornden was served in the same manner; John Caulfield ran aloft; Robert Lang (the mate) made for the cabin to arm himself; the cook was caught in the galley, and Henry Smith at the wheel. All of these were unarmed. I rushed at the first Indian who boarded, and was about to fire at him, but was seized by two others from behind, thrown on my back, and dragged towards the stern of the vessel. Here 1 managed to break away from them, but was immediately covered by five or six muskets pointed at my breast, and was only saved by the chief ’s wife forcing herself between the In- dians and myself. The chief then came up to me, and by dint of force dragged me away from them,towards the cabin. . Previous tothis he had been defending the cabin against about twelve Indians, all armed with knives and most with muskets, Here found Robert Lang, with a musket, about to fire; but I prevented him from so doing by telling him that we were overpowered, and by killing one of them would cause the loss of all our lives. As it was, one man was standing over me with his knife close to my neck for the purpose of despatching me, but grasping his wrist I prevented him from accomplishing | his design, Edensaw then came up to this man, and from some conversation between them, the intentions of the latter were suddenly changed, and from being an enemy he became my friend. Notwithstanding thi reinforce- ment (our number being only ten), we cold not prevent a sudden rusk that was made, by which the cabin was immediately broken open, and a fight ensued between the chief and one of the other men, in which the former had his nose nearly cut off. During this time I managed to make my escape to the after cabin where I found four of my men secreted, all being stripped naked, and one lightly wounded in the side by a musket ball. lowever anxious the chief, Edensaw, and his party may have been to preserve our lives. they appeared equally anxious to share the plunder with the Massett tribe, for on our departure from the cabin, they began to ransack the whole vessel, cut down all the sails, and let go the anchors. They removed all the spare sails from the hold. as well as the fish and stores. They also took the | safe out of the Lavarette, (which was placed there for safety,) containing $1,500—$1,000 in gold, $500 in silver, | besides several small amounts of private cash, amounting to about $200. During the whole of this time, they were | shonting most vigorously for my life. I was therefore obliged to keep myself secreted, as it was their intention to shoot both me and my men if we made our appear- ance. Inthe meantime Edensaw made a treaty with best to enero our ures for a quantity of cotton and to- cco. whereupon they began cutting the upper deck of the after cabin, and the bulkhead eon teria. By this manoeuvre, and their numbers. they overpower- ed Edensaw and his men, and forced us to quit the after- cabin. Whilst I was making a rusb for the outer cabin one of the fellows made a thrust at me with his knife, which I avoided by falling down among their feet, and thus scrambled out on deck. Here I was taken prisoner | by a chief named Seowell, who told me. in pretty good English, that his wife’s father was a Boston man, and | that he would protect me. It being impossible for me to | return to Edensaw, I went with him to his canoe, where I was covered with a blanket for protection, when we im- mediately made for the shore. After many privations and difficulties encountered on the land, both by the mate and myself, we at length reached Fort Simpson, where | we were received by Mr Joha Work, chief factor of the | Hudson Bay Company, from whom we received every at- tention and kindness that it was in the power ef man to | bestow. Having stated our case to him, he immediately despatched a cance fur the remainder of the men, three of whom he was fortunate enough to recover, and one Edensaw brought himself to the fort. Tn concluding this narrative, I have to return my sin- cere thanks to Mr. John Work, chief factor, and Capt. W. McNeill, of the Hudson Bay Company’s eata lishment at | Fort Simpson, for their kind attentions to myself and | crew. MATTHEW ROONEY. | in prices has been attributed by superficial observers to an increase in the supply of money. Now, there has been little if any improvement in the money market. There is an active demand upon the banks from the mercantile classes for discounts, and out- standing loans are called in daily, or left outstand- ing by an increase in the rates of interest. This occurs every day. Several very heavy calls were made to-day, and the payment put off by increasing the rate of interest. More than three-quarters of the demand for money comes from the commercial classes, and it is likely to increase rather than di- minish. The importers will soon be in the market for exchange for remittance. In anticipation of a very | active demand and an advance in rates, exchange dealers are buying up all they can get. This tends to increase the stringency. The importers will put | off remittances to the last moment, with the hope that money will be easier; but they must come to it sooner or later, whatever the state of financial affairs may be. It is folly to suppose that the difficulties and em- barrassments so recently experienced in the money market can be so easily removed. The evil is still much greater than is generally imagined. The mer- cantile classes are so much expanded, credits have been increasing so long and so fast, and the volume has reached to such an enormous extent, that a long | period of liquidation will be required to make things | easy. A slight let up may occasionally occur, and | a short period of ease experienced; but we must look for some financial spasms, and many months of | depression. When we consider that, for several | years, we have rapidly progressed in every species of enterprise; that extravagance and speculation have for a long time been rampant; that almost every indivi- dual in the community has gone to the full extent of | his credit and means—we cannot but feel that we | | must now pass through the process of liquidation before we shall again rest upon a strong solid basis. A renewal of speculations at this time, would be the most fatal movement that could be made. It might enable some of the sharpest, shrewdest holders of | fancy stocks, to get rid of what they had on hand, but it could not be sustained, and the reaction would be most disastrous. Some of the organs of specula- ting cliques in Wall street, either ignorantly or designedly—-probably the former—attempts to | blind the public to the real state of things in | the financial world, and they, as a matter of course, are loud in their abuse of those, who, in their efforts to preserve if possible the great interests of the country, interfere with in any way, the accomplishment of the wild plans and projects | of their principals. Weeks before the recent contrac- | tion we predicted it would occur. We fixed nearly | upon the day when it would be felt with the greatest force. Long before any other journal in the city thought of it, we sounded the alarm, and we now say the difficulty is not yet over. A great deal of caution will be necessary to keep clear of greater troubles, but with care we may avoid a wide apread revalsion, At the first hoord today, Florence and Keyport advanced 2 per cent; Potomac, 4; Harlem, 3; Hano- ver Bank, 1; Erie Railroad, }.

It is not so good it has-no real security; and, in the event of a serious panic in the money market taking place, the banks of New England, established under the old system, would be the first to cave in. The only safe way for the community to act, is to take nothing, keep nothing, in the shape of bank bills, but such as are secured by a deposit of public stocks It is easy to dia- tinguish them from the trash that isso freely circulat- ed, and in so doing they will drive all doubtful issues to o'her parts of the country. Ifthe people of New England have so much confidence in the issues of their banks, they should keep them at home. We have a better currency within our own limits, and the West is supplying us with a safer paper cir- culation than the Eastern banks now do, or ever did. The issues of a bank regularly established in Indiana or Illinois, under the free banking laws of those States, are more secure, and entitled to more confidence, than the issues of any bank in Massa- chusetts. ‘The system pursued by the Suffolk Bank of Boston | may have a tendency to check any expansion beyond that permitted by law, but it does not improve the issues in circulation. It has a tendency to give credit to doubtful paper, by redeeming it so long as a certain deposit is kept in the Suffulk Bank, for the sole security of that institution. That deposit is no security to the public, but, on the contrary, calcu- lated to deceive the community, and give credit where it is not due. In the event of this deposit not being continued, or if at any time an increase should be required, and not be forthcoming, a special edict | is issued notifying the public that the bills of such a bank are no louger received, and the consequences can be easily imagined. Before doing this, the Suf- folk Bank secures itself, or rather it takes care to be protected at all times, and the community are The Suffolk: Bank gives an interior bank credit, and when it pleases destroys it. These are some of the advantages the public derive from the Suffolk Bank system. The Metropolitan is trying todo the same thing here. It is very desirous of becoming a regulator of a similar character; but fortunately the banks of this State are required to make a general deposit with the Comptroller, for the benefit of all their bill holders. They make no dis- tinction for the security of a certain few, or of a cer- tain bank. This is the only system, and it is gradually spreading over the whole country. We trust the time is not far distant when every State in the Union will have a free banking law, an? that the issues of every bank will be secured by a deposit of | sound, safe public securities in the hands of the go- vernment. The annexed letter, from a gentleman belonging to Illinois, who is intimately acquainted with all the | pei railroad movements in that State, will be read with | interest by those concerned. It gives a short account of the attempt to get up a project under the name of | tho Micsiccippi and Atlantic Railroad Company :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. New York, March 12, 1853. Some of your papers of the 10th contain an article copied froma Madison Indiana paper, in reference to what is called the Mississippi and Atlant! which has been read by the Mlinoisans in this city with no little surprise. ‘The Mississippi and Atlantic Railroad has i pposed existence over the territory of Illinois, and, as a citizen of that State, I esk permission through your columns to cor- rect some of the misrepresentations contained in that ar- ticle. In the first place, there is no such corporation in exis- tence, and never has been, a the one named, created by special charter. It has long been a echeme of capitalists interested in the railroad connections terminating at Terre Haute to continue their line to Ilinoistown, oppo. site St. Louis ; frequent applications have been made to the Legislature of Mlinois fora charter for such connec- tion, and for three sessions thereof, as the Senator repre- senting the district, which embraces the western ter- minus of such contemplated road, I advocated the grant- ing of such charter ; but the Legislature steadily, and by increasing majorities, refused the legislstion desired, and evinced a settled resolution not to charter such a road. AState policy, very well underst 4 sustained in our State, bas been adopted, which renders the prospects of a special charter for such road hopeless for the present. The new constitution of Ilinois required a general rail- road law to be passed. At the special session of '49, called for that purpose and others by the Governor, ® general special railroad law was enacted. It was prepared with the express object, avowed upon the floor, of the Senate and elsewhere, of defeating uncer its provisions the con- struction of ® road from Terre Haute to Illinoistown, which it was supposed would materially interfere with other cherished works in our own State. In order the more effectually to accomplish this legis- lative design, the concluding paragraph of the 23d section of the law,declared, *‘And the Legislature hereby reserves the right to itself to indicate the routes and termini of said roads, and the same shall not be constructed or com- menced without the express ‘sanction of the Legislature of this State by 2 law tobe passed hereafter.” To the then friends ot the Terre Haute road the intent was so plainly manifest that they all voted against the law; yet, ax it is composed of fort sections, it may furnish sbundant room for legal criticisms, in the shape of opin- ions, as to the power of a corporation organized under it to build a road one hundred and sixty miles long. in the face of the registered inderdict of Illinois; but the inter. pretation of the law is reserved for the courts of that State, and capitalists who expect to build a road across Illinois in the face of her prohibition may find out when too late, ‘‘that the letter killeth—the spirit it is which giveth life Under this general railroad law an organization has been formed to build that road, which our State has steadily refused to charter entitling itself the ‘Missis sippi and Atlantic Railroad Company,” and under this title hae secured a large subscription to its supposed stock. It is understood i teken under the impression created by the opinions of do, 50 Haven 100 Mich Central RR, 106 2NH&N Iondon 60 100 Little Miami RR, 117 $2000 Erie IncomeBds 98 10000 Erie RC B’71b3 953 Bs 106 Mtg Bs Can.

At the time this il was introduced into the Legislature the President was St Louis, whilst the Vice President, Timothy Young. an ex member of Congress, and an amiable and gentleman in Illinois, was at Springfield ¢ his utmost persuasions to pass the bill cated it upon the ground that the road could not be uilt without the legislation asked for, and its opponents objected for the reason that, without legislation, the or- ganization was a dead letter. The bill was voted upon, and reccived, in the House of Representatives, twenty- five vores out of the seventy five members composing thst body. In two hours after the vote was announced, the President reached Springfield from St. Louis, where he had beén for fifteen days, in constant telegraphic communication with his Vice President whilst the bill was pending, A more complete discomfiture awaited it in the Senate, where it was known to have but eight friends out of the twenty-five Senators, so thatit may be truly eaid, by the Madison paper, that the Legislature left ‘‘the company precisely where it was, w: its rights unigopaired but the question where it was would puzzle a Philadel.hin lawyer, and as to ite rights, they lave been vo repeatedly prononounced against as no longer to be an open question.
