The “ Staie Democratic Cowncil'— Meeting in the Capitol— The Old Animosities—Pierce nor Sey- mour Endorsed—The Party not yet United, §c. It will be recollected that a mass State Conven- tiom was held at Utica, 9 day or two previous to the election, in November, and was called a “demo- ratio” council of the young men. It was called by the Union Club of the city of New York, who select- ed the place of meeting in honor of Horatio Seymour, whe was then the popular candidate for Governor. The assembisge was large, spirited and enthusiastic, and its efforts no doubt contributed largely towards the large majority for that then popular nominee, though an under-ourrent set in, which had the means of electing a whig Congressman at thé same time. The demccrat upom the same ticket with Seymour was shamefully defeated, notwithstanding the whig vote was divided between two of their own men. George W. Clinton, of Buffilo, was the able President of that democratic council. A gentleman named Dillaye, took, or rather ammumed, a leading position during the day; be was by common consent allowed to officiate as a kind of subordinate master of ceremonies. A self- constitated sub-committee met in a private room at Baggs’ hoe’, 17d agreed upon a list of names to compose 8 “ Siaic Executive Committee of the Young Democracy,” the announcement of which was to be made by Mr. Clinton before the mass meeting, but was not done. After the exercises in the field were ended, this sub-committee re-assem" bled, and upon reproducing the paper (which Dil- laye kept in his pocket during the afternoon, and without handing it to Mr. Clinton on the stage, as he was directed to do), it was found that the name of “J, M. Lyon” was erased, and that of “ John B. Miller” was substituted, as the member of the com- mittee representing the Tweutieth Congressional This produced quite a hubbub. A large majority of the committee expressed themselves in indignant terms at the erasure ef Mr. Lyon’s name. Nobody seemed to know it occurred, or who caused it, though, the paper had been in the possession of the same during s2me six hours, was | alin facie evi- Seuce that he had cognizance of the intcrpolation of another name. The fact at length became dis- closed, that the reason why Mr. Miller’s name was inserted, was because certain of the Utica regency declared that he was a more reliable friend of Hora- Seymour than Mr. Lyon, although the latter gen- ‘tleman was the editor of the leading democratic old hunker paper in the: city of Utica, and in trath of Contral New ¥: . The friends of Mr. Lyon con- tended that as Seymour was a “ hunker and not " the paper, over whose columns Mr. L. ha must, under every party obligation, give the ticket ite unqualified support. the , Was finally appealed to, as the his, ee make a selection, who appoint 4 last heard oF this “executive com- a3 it was never organized, appointed no empowered no one to call them together, entirely forgotten; and every person be- their existence passed off the elec- and the “glorious victory.” But it seems there @ great mistake in this matter, for on the 27th July, M.

Dillaye wanted & separate committee to report an address; but several others believed the harmony of the party might be disturbed by a multitude of high-sounding words, at this particular jun:ture. Considerable dis- cussion ensued. It was advised to refer the subject to the Committee on Resolutions. But when Dan | Taylor made ve acknowledge that he had an ad- drees prepared in his pocket, which might spoil, if | not brought out, the committee became convinced, by @ very sensible speech from Capt. Rynders, that address should ve presented, and a commitice ‘was accordingly raised.

He believed it alinded to those factionists who belted io 1848, and he did not feel desirous to pass this reprimand upon them. The readi) of the Senotioosht passage was again called for, when the attention of the committee was called. Messrs. Burr and Monell, two of the sub-committee, did not con- cur in the sentiments, though neither of them satis- fied the meeting why they suffered Dillaye to report ashe did. A motion was made to strike out the ob- jecticnable clause; but, before the Chair could state the question, another motion was made to lay the address on the table, which motion had precedence of the other, was put, carried, and the address was thus summarily rejected. Immediately thereafter, ae o'clock a eo committee a, aed sine ae ‘hus ep. gathering. [ts proceedings throughout indicated anything but harmony.

Mr. Everett's Confirmation—The Albany Journai’s account of it=—fhe Facts ta tho Case. [From the Buffale Advertiser, Aug. 11) The Rochester American says:—'‘ The only whig news afloat is that Mr. Thurlow Weed sat up all | night in the summer of 1841, and saved the Union by manufacturing a public opinion which secured e confirmation of Hon. Edward Everett a3 Minister to England. The Tiibune is inclined to think that Mr. Clay had something to do with that matter. The jicular reason for bringing up this bit of litical history, at this particular time, is not given.” his extract reiers to a strange, rambling aud jum- bled account given in the Albany Journal, [den sedly in answer to @ correspondent, of the circum- stances of the confirmation of Mr. Everett's nomina- tion as Minister to England, in 1841. The history of the affuir is in the peeber ar the editor of the Journal—tall of egotixm sheet ensrecene metaeing of the he performed in the and faerie ts at the material facts, and abound- that over-weening vanity and self-importance which the editor often in such a manner as to ox- cite the pity of hi nds, and general derisiou among all who do not pin their political faith to his aleeve.

Formerly suoh appliances were werless when directed to the Senate of the nited States; and we have no doubt that this influence in affecting results is much overestimated at the present time. Kditors and letter writers flatter themselves that they are potential in controlliog legislatioy; aud it is not t» bewen ed that such instrunentalities ar> oftey important at Albany ; but a different condition of affairs prevails at Wash »gton. It will be withia the recollection of many of those who were at the seat of government in the “spring and summer su ceeding the death of General that the editor of t'e Journal made many attempts to bring the small ¢ ctics that bad been found 40 effica- cious at Albany, to bear upoa the national logisla- tore, an” that the event showed his efforts to bo ludicrouslv abortive, in every instance. He wasall the time groping about wit out access toauthenticsources of information, distrusted on all hands, and ouly tolerated in consideration of the countenance showed him by certain members of Concress from tho State of New York. If he should think of trying his hand at political history again, we advise him to restrict his efforts to this State, or some county or ward. He is av adroit man, but not on a scale sufficiently com- rehensive to embrace national matters. We recol- fect well that the water around Washington was much to deep for him, He was off soundings all the ume. The Late Presidential Election. [From the Freawan’s Journal, August 10.) The elevation of Genera! Pierce to the Presidency, forms one of the most remarkable episodes in the political history of the Union. The idea that his nomination by the Baltimore Convention was the spontaneous act ot the delegates, is, we believe, one ot the veriest humbugs ever nonce in ‘this country. To a large number of the leading men of that body, the selection of General Pierce was, no doubt, a foregone conclusion, that had been reached long before the mass of the delegates had been named. But so perfeotly was the network woven, aud so peter ay was the seorct kept by the men to whom it was confided, that when the mine was at length sprung npoo the party, (he old leaders were ing in illogical inferesces, and instinct throughout with the moet ludicrous misconception of the influ- ences under which such men as composed the Senate of the United States twelve years ago, were accus- tomed to act. The editor says, in substance, that be prevented the rejection of Mr. Everett, by mana- facturing “ public opinicn,” and bringiag it to bear upon the Senate. But as we iu nothing but simple justice to Mr. Weed, we will, before farnish- ing a correct history of the transaction, give his ex- traordinary narrative in his own words, to wit :— In the spring and summer succroding the death of Gon. Harrivon, we were several weeks at Washington. Ar. Everett bad been appointed Minister to Eogland, and was residing at that court Pasvieg an everiog at the room of Senator Mcrebead, of Keotuchy—who is oue of the no- dlest sons of that proud State—we learned from bim that several whig senato:s from Southern States ware opposed tothe coviirmation ot Mr. Kverett, om account of his alleged abolition sentiments, aud that some understand ings bad been entered into with democratic Ssaatora which he feared would hazard his comfirmation Governor Morehead concur.ed with us in the opisien that such a reevlt would be equally us just to Mr. Everett and inju- rious to the country. ion. Mr. Mangum, who lodged im the same house, was thed sent for. He at first de- etined participatiog in the oomver-ation, ly because it related toexecutive business, and partly becan-e the arrangement was intended to be kept secret. But Mr. Mangum was too true a pat:iot and whig when the mis- ebiefs of such a movement bso preveated to his mind, to rewsin passive. Neither of those Senators had sanc- tioned the movement ; and efter further conversation, guts, ager of pre- cipitating ** sections! agitation”? by aa act of indefensible roccription, said the Secaie had beun canvassed, and the Bred was to be done on the next executive day. He pro- duced memorsnéa containing the names of Senators who were committed to vote against the confirmation. Among thece the only whigs whom we sow remember were Mr Merrick, ot Maryland, and Mr. Henderson of Misrissippi, though there were others. Mr. Oisy depre- cated the movement and would vote for Mr Everett’s com- firmation, but intended to give a silent vote. It was uiged by thoce ho sought the rejection of Me.

So confused and unreliable is Mr. Weed’a recollec- tion, that he ante-dates the affair a twelvemonth, and speaks of Mr. Everett's confirmation as haying cell ois before Gen. Harrison was elected, au while Mr. Van Buren was President of the United States. This, however, is a triding matter, too in- considerable to meution, except tvat it tends to illas- trate the Vober mpi oi the man in undertaking to speak so positively of events that he could not by any Poesilility be well informed upon.

By this time there was ® nervousness for an ad- journment, as the members and eventny steamers.

Captain Rynders, who had eloquently, though somewhat sar- castically, advocate one, was now desirous to hear it read.

Mr. Saugham moved, oe a | desired to take the cars | cannot fail to admire the harditood of the editor of } the Journal in putting forth a statement so directly | in conflict with the fa-ts of the case. The truth is, | the nomination of Mr. Everett was concurred in on | the last duy of the session—September 13, 1841—by | a vote of 23 to 19; and his contirmation was owing | | to the adroitness of his friends, who took advantage | of the absence of several Senators that! were sare to | have voted against him. Mr. Clay was a sincere and earnest supporter of the nomination from the begin- | ning. He never hesitated for one moment; and | | those who know his character wi!l not require to be | told how incredible it is, that upon a question which he esteemed so important he could have avowed a | purpore to give a silent vote. He spoke on all con- siderable questions during that session, and almost | always with astonishing power and effect. He made | an impreesive speech pending the nomination, admonihing Southern Senators of the impolicy of making Mr. Everett's alleged abolition principles a | ground for his rejection. and of the iajurious effect | it would produce on the country. But Mr. E. would certainly have been rejected, nevertheless, if the Senate had been fall. Nine Seuators were absent when the vote was taken—tive of them democrats— | | Pierce, of New Hampshire; Wright, of New York; | | Nicholson, of Tennessee; Williams, of Maine; and | | Walker, of bere The whigs absent were | Kerr, of Maryland; dev of Delaware; Barrow, of Louisiana; and Henderson, of Mississippi. The five democrats would of couree have voted in the negative; add to these Barrow and Henderson, who | are known to have been opposed to the nomination, and Mr. Everett would have been thrown out, even if Kerr and Bayard had yoted in his fav The only whigs who yoted against the nomination were | Mesere. Archer, of Virginia, and Preston, of South | | Carolina. It is impossible, at this late day, to ascertain how | many of the absentees left the Senate in order to | avoid voting upon the nomination; but the ‘under- | standing at the time was, that Messrs, Wrigh | Pierce and Williams were purposely absent, because | they were anwilliog to bear any of the responsibility | of rejecting Mr. E. for the reasons assigned and urged | against him, to wit: his euppored abolition senti- ments. Others who voted against him—and among them webeard Messrs. Buchanan and Tappan named —diselaimed the reasons, but found some other frivo- | lous und, which theie Northern associates just | named cid not consider tenable, and would not put themselves npon. The nomination was pending in | | the Senate for a long time, and many sveeches were ™ yon it, Mr. Chonte taking a leading part in the dis on, Atno period during the debate did | the sagecious friends of Mr. Everett anticipate his confirmation, unless some circumstance, then unfor cea, should arise to yive the mutter an auspicious | turn.

The overthrow of the democratic party in 1848, broke it into such minute fragments that nothing short of arefusion of the old material could save it from crumbling to dust. But before a scheme 0 ex- tensive as that could be attempted, it became neces- sary to experiment awhile upon the amalgamating properties of the constituent parts. It is hardly ne- to say, that the experiment was a precursor of complete success. As early as the month of March, 1852, we were, as it happeaed, shown letters from prominent politicians in this State (who have since obtained their reward,) laying down to some extent the programme of the new organization. At that time we looked upon these letters us idle speculations. and cast them aside as the contemptible efforts of a faction whom we supposed was already sunk to the lowest sel ed of political oblivion. clique was the Van Buren wing of the democratic party. The leading point in the programme was to sound the ind and ascertain where the deepest water lay. ‘he progressive tendency of the country pointed with anerring certainty to the great West and to the claims of Mesers. Cass and Douglass. But firstof all, it became ne to subject to the fiery ordeal certain individuals, who, up that timo, had never stood the test of a white heat in the political furnace. Tpis delicate certain was confided to one Capt. Robert Scott, of inia, whose letters to the vari- ous Presidential candidates will be remembered, and who has since been rewarded with the Rio consu- late. It is not a little singular that he drew the firo of every man except one, whose opsourity was at that time the ambuscade behind which the battery was entrenched. That man was General Pierce. To Mr. George Saunders was given the interesting task of uprooting the snags in the Western watem, and of ing the ‘Little Giant.” Our readers are familiar with the menner in which he did this, by the magic words “Old Fogy and Young America;” and they will perceive, too, how well his coudact has been appreciated Ls gag? gift of the consulship to London.

The claims of lvania were to be adjusted on the basis of chanan’s having a clear chance for the nomi- nation by votes of General Pierce’s friends. These he received constantly, until his name was finaliy withcrawn es hopeless. This is proved by the strenuous efforts of Mr. Slidell in his behalf, and by the handsome compiiment tendered them both by the administration. O»io haviag no candidate, was confided to the watchful care of Mr. Medary, and to the elognent pleadings of John Van Buren. | The overt ming mujority she gave illustrates the »werful influences to which she was subjected. ‘the wii in the Eastern States were controlled by Mr. Cushing, and the manner in which he worked them cal. stows how well he deserved the Attorney- General-hip. We have thus far endeavored to sketch a brief outline of the system upon which was founded one of | the most powerfa! politica! schemes ever attempted, either in this orany other country. Asa piece of | intrigve, it is worthy of the palmiest days of old Mr. Van Buren. Such a “sule” of presidential sandi- dates was never heard tell of before. It is easy now to be scen how the election of General Pierce was | accomplished, and to account for the singular policy which has thus far marked his administeation.

All his political antecedevts are in opposition to it, and the readiness with which he endorsed the Baltimore platform of "52, is prin ve evidence of the weak ness of his faith in the ism of {ree soil. But, indepen- dent of this, it was a sine qua non with his coad- jetors ia the game that be should recant.

The first of the other can- didates for the place, of late, was Governor Boutwell, who was strengly backed by General Cushing, in re tarn for his own Justiceship on our Supreme bonch, which appointment was unanimously confirmed by a coalition, containing a mojority of free soilers. Bat for his signatare to the liquor law, Governor Bout- well would have distanced all competitors. The ultra hupkers—the real ‘ blue blood" boys—pressed for the appointment of Mr. John W. James, but would have been satisfied with that of Mr. 8. D. Bradford. The Post preferred Mr. Bailey, but in case of his failure were willing to have Col. J. W. Heard, editor of the Datly Chronicle, appointed. Judge preferred the Post Office to the sub-treasury; but his preferences were not taken into the account. The Post interest triumphed, as usual, and triumphed throvghout, for it bas carried its first choice. It has secured all the best offices. The Times also goes for Mr. Bailey, preferring him to either of the other en pamed. Thisgs seem to go all one way in the matter of appointments, and the stream that flows down Water street is decidedly Pactolian in its character. Mr. Chapin, who has been made Postmaster at Spnogfield, is 2 young man, son of Chester W.

One of the con- parties is said to have elected to ge the House of Correction for two months, rather than pay @ fine and costs, and give heavy bonds not to sell again. The friends of the law cre very active just now, and seem bent upon making all the mischief they can. They talk of ening tickets in every county aud town—a course which the whigs assure thom they are bound to follow, as honest men, and if they would have the temperance cause upheld. The whigs are amazingly disinterested. The assessed value of property: in the city of Bos- ton, tMis year, is $205,922,400. Of this, the real es- tate is valued at $115,261,000, and the personal at $90,661,400. You must add tweoly millions, at the very least, to the sum, to obtain even an Cn Si tion to the truth. Tbe number of polls 30,000, and the rate of taxation is $7 60 for every thousand dollars. In Lowell, the valuation is $20,357,963, and the rate of taxation is $8 80 for every thousand dollars. The number of polls is 7,632. Increase since last year, in value of proper » $504,740, is stated that Mr. Samuel Ktivf, of this city, has in the English prees a work entitied “ History of the Barly Christians.” Mr. Eliot ia sometimes confound. ed with Mr. Samuel A. Eliot, formerly Mayor of Boston, and lately a member of Congress from tho Svffolk district, but heis a much younger man. Some years since he published a work, in two vol- umes, on Rome, being the first instalment, I think, of what he prooneed, ould be a “ History of Liber- ty.” The idea was a fine one; but unluckily for the world and for his own reputstion, Mr. Eliot lacked that power of execution which alone could render such a work worthy of favor. His work on Rome was about the dulest affair, in the shape of his- tory, that I ever got hold of. A more brilliant subject a scholar conid not have than the consti- tut history of the greatest and most remark- able of countries. Mr. Eliot made it about as captivating as a treatise on fluxions. From be- ginning to end there is scarcely a sentence with power or light sufficient to vary the leaden dul- ness, the sandy dreoriness of the work. It isa pity that it is so, for Mr. Kliot has certain qualifications that are indispencab!c to the writer of history—he is rich, industrious and conscientious. In America, no man can be a histor.au who is not wealthy, and who shall not be in a position to be independent of his literary labors. If he succeed, his wealth will not injure him; if he fail, it wil! prevent his fall from proving eerious. Mr. Eliot is a benevolent man,and a8 done much good for the poor, expending several thousand dollars annually tor the benefit of poor children. Such a man can afford to write an in- different history, as he has other claims to cousider- ation, and such as ought to be held much higher. A ratber curious quarrel has broken ont between one of our great rsilroad companies and a conutry town. Some people in Concord (Mass.) have com- pelled the directors of the Boston and Fitchburg Company to put a gate at a “crosaing” in that town, and have had them indicted for not complyin, with the law’s requisitions on the subject. te will cost the company some six or seven hundred dollars | to keep a man in charge of the gate, as trains run through the night. Augry at being thus forced to comnly with the terms of the law, the directors threaten to cat Concord off from pretty much all her recent railroad facilities. But one train from ‘itehburg, and another from Boston, they say, shail stop there hereafter. At presout three trains leave there fer Boston. Should the directors carry out their threat, there will be some work for the law yers, for the company have suld season tickets to Concord people that have months to ran; and legal gentlemen say that each holder of such tickets would have his action against tre company for every time that he should be prevented from going to Boston, according to the arrangements existing at the time he purchased. As there are some seventy-tive season tickets held at Concord, and about a ‘quarter of a million of the company’s stock, and the receipts from other wources to the company from the town are not less than $20,000, perhaps the gentlemen directors may think better of it, especially as those Ceoncordians who had the company indicted did no more than follow the requisitions of a State law, or the directions of the County Commissioners. The matter is important only as it shows the disposition of men who have control of great means to set aside the law, or, failing that, to punish those who, in bes ary e of their duty, ina upon the law being obeye The potato rot is spreading over the State, and entlemen agriculturally interested are of opinion that our potato crop wil this year be very small indeed. In some instances flue looking potatoos have been dag and taken into cellars, and the signs of the rot appeared on them in a few hours thereafter. In most cases, however, the disease shows itself long before the hour cf digging has arrived, aud at least saves the necessity of digging what is to prove worre than worthless. A Salem paper of yesterday, sta‘es that the disease has made a appearance in that vicinity, with unexampled vira- lence, See like fire through whole fields, and leaving not a hill worth the digging. The squashes in some fields, too, in that part of the country, have experienced a sudden blight. It would prove a very alarming evil, if, peside potatoes, we are to lose other articles that enter largely into the food of both bipeds and quadrupeds Squashes are oultivated to au immense extent in Massachusetts, and are used in various ways ; and should they be blighted in Massa- chusetts, men here would be cempelled to ascertain the real value of articles of wh'ch they now think lightly, or not at all, because of their very common- ness. Squashes are important in connection with our mit, butter and cheese business, and especially so from the partial failure of the hay crops. Perhaps, however, the disease in the squashes of Essex is merely local, and not like that which burns up our potato ficlds, and treating almost every locality with the same merciless impartiality. ‘The project of laying down railroads in our streeta, to make communication more eory with Roxbury and Cambridge, is meeting with more opposition than it wus suppored it was doomed to encounter. People are of opinion that in these days of railroad accidents it would hardly answer to have our streets travelled with steam engines and long trains. There ie not, inthe United States, another such city as Boston for narrow and crooked streets; and for the trains to come into them, would be to greatly in- crease those chances of destruction that are now quite too great to be pleasant. One has to take one’s life in in one’s hand in passing over two- thirds of our streets, and many fear that there would be no safety at all if steam were put after the pedestrian, with him to ran for his life, like an In- dian with a mounted rifleman on his track. The managers of the Metropolitan road aver that they con construct their road, so far as the Bos- ton part of it shall be concerned, in six weeks, without interrupting business in the streets in the least. Ocr city government is understood tobe favorable to these city railways, under the supposition that the city’s lands would be enhanced in value from their construction; but that joint is not quite so clear a8 that the speculators of Ca:a- bridge and Roxbury would make a good thing out of the affair. ‘The stock of the Metropolitan is to be thrown open to the V+ nr in a few days.

We shall be enabled to ascertain from the book how far Dr. Judson’s labors were succesaful; and this is a poiut that is of interest even to those who are not icnlar'y struck with the importance of missions considered only with reference to themrely: it relates to the it question of civilization.

Mr. Sargent has been fortunate in severing his connection with the Boston ne’ an who keep up that con- nection not g in the way of perfecting their chance of Heaven—if any they have—through an accumulation of that which is said to be un- favorable to 'e hopes of the great fature. The Treanor duel affair has been happily disposed of for all parties. Yesterday, when Captain Treanor came up for examination, together with Mr. O'Do- nobue, the Court, after the evidence of the prosecutor, Mr. Kelly,declared that no case had been made out, and dismissed the parties. Ei body, I believe, is pleased with this result, for our laws are extremely severe on the sending, carrying, and ac- cepting of challenges, and it would have been really too bad to have imprisoned, for fifteen or twenty years, some three or four individuals, who, in the passion of the moment, forgot that they were not ving within the iules of the Galway code.

ALGoBMa. FOIANCIAL AND CUMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET, Sunpay, August 14—6 P.M, It has been stated that the Lomdoa correspondents of the Erie Reflroad Company have not direstly givon iati- mation that the boods of the compsny, held ia hypothe- cation, should be immediately redeemsd; bat in what doen this contradiction disagree with the s:atement that, inaowuch as the boads were net negotiadle, the holders now look to the company for an early settlement. It is Bot the Exio Railroad Company alone, which bas large amounts of bonds on hypothecation. The by or call loans to this company do mot exceed $2,500,000, while the ag- gregste of bonds now lying in London, om which draftshave been made, is over $30,000 000. If the demand for money should increase, which the best Londoa authorities think inevitable. with or without war, the rate of money, in Tondon, they state, could not be loss than five per cent Thus we have every reason to apprehend that the bonds to which we have referred will be returned te this coun- try for sale. Coupling with this state of facta, we have the prospective probability that the money to be thus recovered will be ordered home in the shape of specie, to meet tho extraordinary depletion of the Bank of Engiand, which every successive arrival gives us notice of, It is eaid that the contraction which the banks are mabirg has kept dowm exchange, but it is equally true that by #0 doing they have given a check to the general exportation of the country, and thus, while specie is temporarily retained, almest ceasing to be an article of commerce through these artificial means, our imports are increasing to am alarming extent. To practical mer charts the prot peot presents an acoumulation of difficul- ties, as they well understand that in the absence of the exportation of the produce of the country, there oan be no exchange, except such as is drawm on the responsi- biity and credit of bankers. This is, of course, a source of sccommodation im its nature very limited, and caa |. only be temporary, tobe made good by remittances in specie. The contraction is beyord doabt necessary, aad we hope timely, but it also shows to what an extrava- gant extent the banks mast have been expanded to have produced distress through the whole country. Ths ea- tire trade und finaaoial operations are virtually sus- pended. If we will reflect for s moment, we cannot fail to come to the conclusion that wo are buying forvigu gooda at an expanded payer currency, while we ace selling our pro- duce abroad on a limited apecie bacis. Tne specie founda- tion of our circulation does not excaed one to twenty, while that of Eogland ison an equality—dollar fur dol- lar—paper beicg us:d merely as a conveniexcs, and not ay an inheremt measure of velue, Ifit were not for this irregular, shorteighted scheme of financisring, the ba lence of trade would draw the precious metals to as, instead of » constant forced export io Europe. But to come back to the $30,0.0,000 of loans nor resting in Londoa ou the hy pothecation of railroad bonds, we thirk we are justified in the conclusion that we mus acd that speedily, have to encounter the witheriug effects of a return of the bonds on our market—a result certain and inevitable, ehouid the price cause, as is feared, the importation from the continent of unusually large amounts «f grain, ‘The stock market rallied on Saturday by the purchases of extersive operstors for deivery, and again reacted on the re-alos for a further fall in the market. These spsou- letive movements are based on ths continual contraction of the money market, and the belief that the future in- formation from Europe will prove of a warlike character.
