Many’s— iat I bave just received your no'e of this da‘e, expressing to me your desire to Know the causes of the deplorable catastrophe which took place on tue 15ta, in the neigh- Borhood of this city, as well as the means which | hold, and the measures I count on, to prevent hereafior mumiler disasters. From the evidence taken by the authorities of the eountry to discover the o: of the said dispute and ‘the authors of the crimes it followed therefrom, it appears that the disorder originated between a passenger | ‘and an individual of the country,‘ rom the tormer hav- 4 ng refused to pay for a fruit he had purchased from the Jatter. in said dispute the passenger mace use of his pistol, dischargirg it at bis opponent, who bad attempted to flee, and was followed by said passeoger and two ethers, who united themselves with him, tor which rea- won ihe people of the country, who were about that Jocality, took part in the dispute in‘ avor of the moles:- ed man, which led to » contest that became almost general, and was prolonged for some hours without the @fforts which with that object the authorities and some Granadians and strengers mace being sufficien: to paow’y ‘the one or the ether party. That you may know the facts more in detail, I enclose the copy of the declaration of a Granadian cod smother of 2s North American, employed at the railroad company, by which declarations you wiil eee that it was an unpremeditated and unexpected act, ome of those inevitsbie coliisions, when e- ments so heterogeneous as those which form our popula- don enc the Ca ifornian emigration, meet an in eollision. Notwithstanding this, and although the conse- quences of this collision were truly horrible, I can assure you thet by * miracle of Providence, neither women nor chiléren perished in it, as you a pear to have anderstoud. With regard to the disposicion I have, and means { po«- fees. to prevent in future disasters such as we lameat, I ‘thrnk you should not have dou»ted, for s moment, of my borror of said crimes, and of my constant disposition to vent them.

On doth occasions the disembarkation and traa- att of said passengers was made without the slighlegt ex- eitement, without the slightest menace agsiast the rity of cne or the other, and I hope this will take piace also in future. The said force that was present at the disemdarkatin of the passengers of the Goiden Age, and even a larger one, if necessary, shall always be seat to ‘the raliroad station when circumstances or analogous motives may make it necessary, as holding the conscien- tous views of my duties, and understanding well the great interests which are bound up in the preservation ef this line of universal transit, I shall! spare no eff rt or other means which may teud to provide for the seeurity of commerce and emigration which msy co:ne across the isthmus.

After reviewing the evicence that had been taken in the matter, he thus furs up bis conclusions; — From tuese statements I deduce certain conclusions. First, that either the attack was directiy premedicated, or that organization had been perfected amongst the out- side population, souctenanced and sesisted by certain whi e natives living in the eity (of y latter some were influenced by jealousy of the foreigr>™>, byanimosity toand jealousy of the raiiroad company), which organization was to beused upon ccocasivns such as was offered upon the night of the 15¢h, and was for the purposes of destroying railroad acd steamsvip pro- perty. acquiring plunder and shedding blood. Second, that there exists within the walis of Panama class of natives, composed of both whites and +!+-ks, who exert ‘and of my personal autho- tif the ead Urriols did The dep and others their influence to preserve order anc apramacy of the inws—who, while they are opposed :o the foreigner por g equal rights with themselves, endeavor. to orles in give him that protection which all ciy!l'"-4 o% the present age grant him, aud of whic! wequired the right by payment of taxes. Third, the police of the State, when eslled upon the ground 10 quell the rio‘, instead of placing themselves betwee the rioters, took part with the strongest. i 4th, That the Governor of State, instead aelling the riot, by drawing back bis own peopl+ the reach of apy fre that might have been com the pas- sengers, or advancing his police to the 1 between the rioters, allowed himself to give the ec to ad- vance and take the station, from which »pposed, and from vague rumors. there was firir g.

That the Governor was unable to effctnally sup- press the plunder that accompanied the riot. 7th. That the anthors of the massacre were the police force, and that the major part of this massacre occurred Curing their attack upon the station and grounds; that the police, alter obtaining complete posession of the station, in eo) blood Billed defence! passenzerr, crying for quarter, and that tney also assisted in acts of Nunder.

The reading of the report of the Committee on Assess ments was then commenced. The report shows that, ia some instances, some of the Presb; ies had paid the whole amount assessed upon them, that others bad paid & pert ot the amount, waile others had not psid any thing.

There was no great change in the market value of any stock, but the tendency throughont was downward. At the first beard Cumberland fell off 3 per cent; Hudson River Railroad, '¢; New York Central Railroad, 4; Ga- lena and Chicago, 34; Panama, ; Cleveland and Toledo, 24; Chicago and Rock Island, 4. Missouri 6’s advanced 4% per cent; Delaware and Hudson, 3; Pennsylvania Coal, 14; Michigan Southern, 44. The decline in Pana. ma is in consequence of the serious accident to a train of paseenger cars and the great loss of life. {t is report- ed that there were fifteen killed and thirt taagerously injured, Milwaukie and Mississippi Railroa. closed firm at yesterday’s prices. New York Central | siiroad was offered in large lota to-day at the decline and closed heavy. Erie was the stiffest, ateadiest s1osk on the list, and must continue #0. It is about the best stock to take hold ot for s rise just now. At therecond board the market was heavier, and not stallactive. With one or two exceptions, stocks ware lower, After the board Panama sold as low as 101 per cent; Cleveland and Toledo, 737s; New York Central, 80% 0 90. ‘We have not heard of any large engagements for ship ments of specie from this port by the steamship Hermann to-morrow, Saturday.

The advices are 00? at all im- pertent, and hardly interesting in any poiatof view, Quotstions for console show 4 slight improvement in @@ faoe of @ growing stringency in the money market. The benk returns show @ modezate decrease in bullion. The poliey pursued by the bank just now is @ conse-vative one. Tne public mind throughout Great Britain and the Continent is ripe for all sorts of schemes and speculations. This feeling was, in@ great measure, kept in check in England during the war, but the re-establishment of peace removed what was supposed to be the only diffeulty. It is the policy of the Bank of Englaad to destroy, if possible, this manis for new proje:ts, and it therefore retuses to make any further reduction in the rate of interest or to let up the pressure. Another thing weighing npon the London money market just now, is the probability of large government loan. The last, however, is, without doubt, magnified. A government Joan in time of peace should not tighten the money mar- ket. It is, im fact, the addition of so much to the paper curreney of the country, and rather advances than re- tards commercial operations. The cotton market in Liverpoo] was net +0 active or buoyant as last reported. Advices trom this side regarding the crop caused the charge. Breadstuffs were active and firm, with an up- wardtendency. From the manufasturing districts the accounts are favorable, The circular ot Du Fay & Go., dated Manchester, May 1, 1856, says:— The extent of the cotton erop is generally estimated at “ontinent af Europe, having rupplied tial eoeraally on uoas carly and coplousiy, the cblet experts will hencefor ward be directed to this country. We have, therefore, tne roepect before us to see the of eotton in Li pool increase somewhat in proporticn with the large con- sumption now going on of this article. The steadiness with which the cotton market has been maintained, not- withstanding the high rate of money, shows great conf- dence cn the part of holders.

She fac: that most o! the large home trace merchants hold very little atock will induce them to purchase more lsrgely when prices b: come cettied one way or the other; for the question an the present rate of prices be pezraanently nsin- tained? Cheaper mcney, with lower prices of food, will render it possible, if nothing else will. There is one point to which we have called attention previously, and waich ‘will be found to have some effect upon the value of cotton fabric, namely, the extravagantly high pric:s caused by a womentary scarcity of wool. Lat it be borne in mind that some descriptions of wool have risen 40 per cent since last November. Many fabrics o! woollen goods, par- ticularly coarse qualities, must be given up for the p sent. ill such @ circumstance have no effect whatever upon the prices of domestics and other heavy cotton ds’ The anewer is plain, and the realizationa matter the nearer continental customers are dia and Chins, are somewhat more favor ports, both to Australia and California, have latterly heen more fn unison with actual requirements, aad an increas- ing trade at remunerative prices, 1s now looked for in those quarters, On the continent the same absence of stocks of finished articles is noticed, as in our market here, Most manufacturers are working to order, or are engaged for weeks to com id the superior taste shown in the eelections of desigus and colorings has givea the German makers of mixed goods a preference in the Aweri- cen markets, as well as in this country, in all cases where prices are about equal. The recent la-ge direst exports ot cotton and colonial woo! from London ave an incieation of what we remarked, Bremen is becorsing an important market for cot! and the manuiactarers who formerly bought in Liverpool are now supplying them- selves nesrer home. It must be coniessed that the con- tinental cotton dealers have shown great foresight in sup- plying themselves freely at the beginning of the season, when prices were yet more moderate, Letters which we have received irom Russia to-day a of a probable modification of the tariff, whi:h the moment msy prevent shipments, while in a tive point of view a more extended busiaess may be the result. Stocks of goods sre also smailia Russia, and grrat activity is mow perceived iu the industrial estab. Nishments of that country. Both cotton and worsted yarns have sold well laiterly. If supply and demand have, ag seems to be the case, become more equslizad all cver the world, it argues well for a greater eteadiness of the va'ue of goods. Fluctuations in prives, such as we have experienced in former years, are 20% likely to occur under such clreumstarces. Tke Londom Bankers’ Magazine gives the foilowiag re- view of the money market for Apr: The intimated arrangement ® treaty of peace at the close of March had « beneficial influence on mone- tary and mertantile affairs. Genecally expected a3 it was, the event, when annonnsed, él'cited expzessions cf great satiefaction. It was not, therefore, surprieing that the commencement cf April was marked by cox- tinued buoyancy in all descriptions of secarities, and that increased confidence was exhibited with respest to & resumption ot sctivity in trade, The sustained de- mand for money. however, occationed some anxiety, the remsinirg instalments on the Loan and Exzheqzer Bil) funding pressing at intervals with severity. Not- withstanding the Bavk of France reduced the rate of discount from Fix to five per cent, no corresponding move- ment was made by the Directors of the Bank of Eng- lend. In this anomalous position of things—althoagh the polfey of the latter establishment was considered the most piudent—tbe payment of the dividen aesisted to relieve the existirg stringency, and as month advansed the demand for accommodation becsme less urgent. Still, despite all predictions to the contrary, the authorities of Threadneed!e s\reet have manifested no Gispesition to make concessions even to the extent of equalizing their rates; and it is now questionable whe- ther they will immediately do so, One reason for ex- treme caution in this respect is the muititude of oompa- nies, local and foreign, the promoters of which are seeking subscriptions in the open market; and were the directors to encourage by any relaxation. however sight, the spirit manuested to engage in these acventures. 9, large absorption of capital would take place to the prejmice of ccmmerce and recognized {nduatrial progress. other is to be found in the foresight necessary in ascertaining the views of goverrment as to their measures for raisicg this year’s supplies; and since it is now currently delievea that some finsncial operation. or an amount of from £10,000,000 to 218,000,000, is contemplated, it would be indiscrees to make a precipitate aiteration. It must, at the rame time, be borne in mind that shipments of the precious metals to the East, including remittances on account of the Turkish loan, have not yet ceased, and that the tm- ports of Australian and American gold, (although thore from Meloourne are now arriving more freely.) have failed to supply the deficiency which has grauaily in- creased in the Bank’s etock of bullion. These points con- sidered, the-directors feel themselves justified in tempo- rarily abstaining from interference with the quotations they bave hitherto enforced. In the early part of April the value of money in Lombard street was cent; it subsequently decreased, ard on the 23d and 24th first class paper was negotiated at 54 per cent, and compara- tive ease existed uring the liquidation of the last tnstal- ment on the loan. Since then there has been again an active demand, which is maintained throngh the reporis already referred to. It will be perceived, by our usual comparative table of prices, tuat the range in consols has exceeded 1 per cent, while the quotation of that security is now lower than at the commencement of the month. This mey be explained by the circumstance of the great rise hav: ing occurred antecedently to the successful termination of the conferences at Paris, through the speculative ops- rations of French capitalists avd otbers. Although the yment of the dividends has rince taken place, the pub- fe 'bave not to any great extent, preeuming that the government may find {t essential to increase the supply of stock by a fresh creation, to liquida‘e the out- standing engagements incurred on account of the war. The impression with respect to the negotiation of loan =? ae e mach stron; ee ieee th ev on , and ices have uently again given way. equer Pinte ‘continue to fuctuate between @ ling discount and par; but if the Treasury authorities, in ad ition to a direct increase of the debt, carry outa funding, the value of there securities will probably experience a al’ght im- provement. As indicat the state of business with re- ference to the ratefof money, advances on consols for short periods cannot be obtained under six Per cent. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of foreign dry goods entered at this port for consump- tion, for warehouse, and also the withdrawals from ware- house, during the week ending and including Thursday, May 15, 1866:— Movements in Forsicr Dry Goons, ion, Entered for I.

The spring trade has coatinusd to ajlater period than usual, owing to the season having Deen s backward one, and navigation late in opening. ‘Yet the aggregate trade has not equel'ad the expectations entertained before the commencement of spring. The heavy fall in the prices of breadstuffs, and, to nome con, siderable extent, in provisions, is felt by jobbers to in- terfere to some extent with their collections in the Western and Northwestern sections of the country, A stronger infatuation seemed to have seized both producers and traders at the West the past autumn. Because prices largely advanced, they seemed to consider that the war and scarcity in Burope were to continue, and that still higher priser: were to be realised in the spring. They were not satis- fied with $9 for common flour, $2 a $2 25 tor wheat and $1a $1 15 for corn, in this market. They could not see that the largest crops of cereals gathered for many jeara were to have anything to do with prices, Those who went inesrly and sold early made money. The sanguine dealers, who waited for spring and higher prices, have found a peace and lower prices, and must suffer heavy losses. Good Indian corn now eells as low an 68c., which would not justify the payment of over 100. @ 16¢. per bushel in Illinois, and delivered free of freights and charges in New York at scarcely anything Jess without loss, Az far as the country at large is con- cerned, however, it isa geiner, for the increase in the cotton crop and in its enhanced prices, more then coun- erbalances the decline in breadstuffs.
