E {ony be the current of European Panis, Dec. 14, 1854. A Western Question to Succeed the Eastern One— apt. Gsbson and the Dutch Colonies of Oriental India—Count Scala and the Sandwich Islands— The Austro-Occidental Treaty—New Year's Fes- tivities—An Extraordinary Supper, §, &¢+ the earth ie round. This old fact, so familiar to American schoolboy, is becoming gradually ‘inet to political geographers in Europe. The latter rub their astonished eyes as they see how the Isthmus of Suez in the Old World and the us of Panama in the New, have suppressed, it’ were, the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Hora, id marvellously shortened the distance necessary the last century for voyages of circumnavigation; as they discover how readily accessible, both by the tlantic and the Pacific, is now that centre of at- ion for industrial Europe; the immense mar et which is formed in Oriental Asia by India , and Japan, with their six or seven hundred illion inhabitants; and, in fine, as they gaze with andisguised dismay upon the threatened develope ment of American democracy, not only in the Uni. fey’, States, but also in the different provinces of the |New World, in tne Antilles, in the isles of the Paci- ic and principally in several groups of Polynesia. They look with special anxicty towards the Sand- ich Islands, which they perceive seem destined to *x@rcjae an absolute supremacy in the vast ocean, of hich these occupy the centre. They know that islands form @ necessary post between Cape ‘Horn and the portsof Oregon, of Sitka, of the , Of Kamsschatke, and of Japan. The ri annexation of the Sandwich Islands to United States excited, of course, no little sen- Jon in Europe, and the news by the last steamer from ‘New York, that there was a talk of a naval ration against the Dutch colonies of Orien- India, on accvunt of “ the claims of certain Captsin Gibson which the Netherlands government fused to acknowledge,” (1 quote textually ‘om @ Paris journal), has recalled public attention the dangera which menace European influence on e Pacific Ocean and on the eastern seas. A series of articles on the Sandwich Ialands has y been commenced in the Gazette de France, yy the Count Scala, whom that journal eulogizesas Malte Brun and the Balbi of our epooh, adding that his political sagacity is on a level with his meographical and ethnographical knowledge. How- ver high his political sagacity may be, his politi- information must be limited indeed, if he be- jevea what be positively asserts, that the govern- nent at Washington sent out Methodist missiona- jes during the reign of Kamehameha, to study the -ountry and prepare it to receive the yoke of the ted States. It wil! be news in the United States hat the government at Washington has encroached ppoh the field occupied by the missionary societies pf the various religious denominations. Even if his were possible, it is by no means probable that Il the missionaries sent tothe Sandwich Islands ould be Methodists. By “Methodist,” however, |. Scala means simply “Protestant,” which shows at he knows aa litte of the se. tarian divisions of be American population as he does of that abso- lute separation of Church and State which dis- {Qalities ite goveroment from acting as a ‘board of missions.” Not only ignorance, but malice,s ve- itayed in several other stutements of M. Scala rela- tive to the history of the introdaction of the Ameri- van clement tuto the Sandwich Isiands. But the learned writer is right in assigning a vast importance to the geograpuical position of these nds ; and not a few of his remarks would de- special attention, if it were only because they ovinion. You y be sure that the Ostend conference and the ulé oiffivulty have not tended to check or change "igeano tronalate f few passages from the i4yme my é for you a few ‘om *tidles of Count Scala.

Figaro. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Tavnspay, Jan. 4—6 P. M. The effect of the recent heavy failures is still visi- ble in Wall street, The stock market has not re covered its former buoyancy, and the feeling of dis- trust ia daily becoming deeper and more chronic in its character. The hope entertained by many of an immediate recovery, has been abandoned, and all now look forward to a long period of gloom and de- pression. The evils we have to contend with are too deep seated to be reached by mild applications. The dixesse has taken such a strong hold upon the body, financial and commercial, that a long course of depletion will be required to bring about a healthy action again, and we must by care and caution prevent a relapse after the recovery com- mences. It is very natural for those engaged in ac- tive business pursuits to hope for the beat, to look for a speedy return of better times, and to con- sider any pressure merely temporary; but with them the wish is father to the thought, and they hope on in vain, until it maketh the heart sick. The community in this way deceive themselves, and their anticipations are never realized. Toney are continua'ly in advance of the reality, and the times are therefore more or less ever out of joint. At the commencement of the last great revulsion in mercantile matters the busi- ness classes did not dream of the result. No one seemed to suppose fora moment that more than two or three failures would occur. Those who were firat prostrated, felt confident of resuming in @ day or two, and it was the general opinion that a week at the most would remove all difficulties. At the end of the wiek a complete panic had seized the publis mind, and the failures averaged full a half dozen per day. Amidst all the excitement and prostration, the impression still prevailed that it would s20n be over--that it could not be of long duration. The re- suit is well known. The failures in this city alone reached nearly one thousand, and every interest of the country was al- most ruined. The bettom was not fairly touched until 1843——-six years after the revulsion commenced: During that time efforts were repeatedly made to revive and restore credit, but after a glimmer or two the spark disappeared, and left a darkness more profound, until finally a reaction was visible, and confidence returned by almost imper- ceptible degrees. Tue recovery was gradual, but the foundation being fixed upon the very deepest sub- stratum, the credit aystem became firmly establish- ed. Six years of contraction, liquidation and economy, with the “blessings” of a general bankrupt law, eradicated the disease, which previous years of prosperity and extravagance had engendered, and placed the country at a point from which any move- ment could not but be forward. The progress at first was slow and sure, for all were weak in re- sources. A year or two gave strength and conf- dense, and the expansion was gradual, and only in proportion to the legitimate wants of commerce. The credit system continued sound, and the opera- tions of trade were confined to legitimate channels, until the excitement attending the production of gold in California led the community into all sorts of speculation and extravagance, to an extent never before equalled. It was not until 1850 that the supply of Califor. nia gold began to alarmingly inflate our credit sys: tem. During that year the expansion of the banks amounted to about fifty millions of dollars, cansed principally by the mania for extending internal im- provements. More schemes were concocted in that year, more railroad projects planned, more specula- tions commenced in every section of the country, than ever before in any ten yearsof our nation. al existence, acd the whole financial of the world was put in operation for our benefit. For about four years all this worked apparently smooth- ly and satistactorily. Immense fontuses were made on paper. Men who, previous to 1850, had not two dollars in the world to jingle together, could count up tens of thousands in stock, scrip, deeds,’&c.,and it was certainly gratifying to see enterprise so liberal- ly rewarded. In the midst of these halcyon days we sounded the note of alarm. We warned those engaged in the excitement and strife of speculation to prepare themselves for @ reverse, and poiated out the result which was as sure to follow as night follows day. It was as clear to our mind’s eye as the sun at mid-day. Previous to the reval sion in 1837 we frequently foretold its approach. Certain causes produce certain effects in financial and commercial affairs as well as in physical mat- ters, and it requires no great foresight to see what must be the resultofcertain acts. It is only neces sary to be removed from the great maelstrom in which so many were whirling about at such a rate as to derange their vision, to take a cool, calm view of the position of things, and to arrive at just con- clusions. During the past two years we have made every eflort to induce the community to pause end extricate themselves from the curreni which was bearing them rapidly along to inevitable destrac- tion; bat they were deaf to our appeals, and we now find them struggling in the vortex from which no human power can eave them. After twelve years of unprecedented prosperity, the entire com- mercial community is plunged into the deepest depths of depression, from whish it will require years of economy, retrenchment and reform to re- lieve ua. The stock market opened to-day unsettled and feverish. At the firs} board Erie income bonds fel! off { per cent, New York Central bonds, 1; New 4; Galena and Chicago Railroad, 14 per cent. Vir ginia 6’s sdvanced 1 per cent, Iinois Ceatral bonds, 4; New Jersey Zinc, j; Nicaragua, }; New York Cen- tra) Railroad, 3; Reading Railroad, 4. The decline in Galena and Chicago Railroad stock since Tuesday has been twenty per cent. The failure of Wadaworth & Sheldon is the cause of this enormous deprecia- tion in market value. That house conducted all the financial operations of the railroad, and the compa- by will lose at least forty thousand dollars by the suspension. There were rumors in the atreet about an over-issue of stock, and other kinds of modern financiering, but they were contradicted on good authority, and the excitement subsided. Between the boards the stock advanced and was in demind. ‘The finances of most of the western railroad com paries are miserably managed, and by some of these failures which are so frequently occurring may be heavy losers. It was reported in the street this morning that a private banking house of high standing, just out of Wall street, was deeply involved with Messrs. Wade- worth & Sheldon, and considerably embarrassed, but it was officially contradicted. A Wall street bank has become involved to @ largo amount with the above named firm by certifying checks in the absence of deposits. The failure of a house en- gaged im the flour trade was reported to-day. It ‘was @ very respectable, but{not very large, concern. Its loeses have been from advances made. The refussl of the American Exchange Bank to assume the payment of interest on the bonds of the State of Illinois has created come talk in the street. ‘That bank and ite President—David Leavitt—have received large sums of money from the treasury of Ilinois for past services, and it was expected that the credit of the State would have been, under the circumstances, protected. We hope the Governor of Illinois will bear in mind the course pursued in the premises by that institution, and govern himself accordingly.
