The War Renewed—Great Excitement— Condition of Sheriff Jones—Movemenis of the Military Men and Sheriff— Marches and Oowntermarches. We reached here this morning, having spent last night at Major Clarke’s residenee, at the House on the Prairie, ‘The Majcr is still expecting an attack from the people of Lawrence, His house is an arsenal; two men are Constantly engaged, and relieve eacn other hourly through the night. The pro-slavery people are organiz- ‘ing company of mounted riflemen, uniformed, fally equipped and well mounted; the sabres and rifles have already arrived, The attempted assassination of Sherif Jones has roused @ feeling of indignation which will mot easily be quelled, Men who were conservatives six months ago have now become cenverts to the doctrine that “for>earance has at length ceased to be a virtue.” ‘We saw Colonel Bugord yesterday. He will reach here ‘to-day; his party of some four hundred men have been ‘ivided up into squads, who have settled at various points, for the most part in this cousty. They have @one to work in various ways. As mearas can be ascer- ‘tained, so far, the Southern emigration is a! Colonel Sumner, acoompanied by his Adjutant, Lieut.

Another e will accompany the United States Leput Marshal (acge Faire) to Dea Wier, will go to arrest Governor Reeder, who resisted Governor Reecer has threatened the hfe of the Deputy Marshal, in which he was supported (as state!) by two bundred armed men. Gov. binson went to Westport or Kansas City a day or two ago. Reeder {s said to have eecaped to wenworth—it was reported in women’s ut this we presume to bea mistake, for, if report speeks true, there is hardly a woman’s dress io tne Territory unto which a man of Reeder’s weight coud slip himself. We saw Sheriff Jones yesterday. He is improving slowly; but, as the bail with s pertion of his clothing is lodged among the muscles of his back, mear the spine, his ultimate recovery will be tedious, if not doudtfal. In any event he will probably be crippled for life. The act of shooting bim was the work of # coid-blooded, cowardly sesassin, who should be hung upon the first tree; and we regard the principals in this transaction as litte better ‘than the tool who executed their work. Mrs. Jones is expected at Franklin, where poor Jones lies ill, to-day. Gov. Shannon {s here and looniog well.

An agrecable change is indeed coming over the ss- pec’s of this xather extensive city. Once more do the ‘wheels of traffic, which have been so long clogged, begin to revolve slowly, and once more, for nearly the first morning in several months, do the ncisy and narrow thoroughfares of the town, as well as the waters of this epacious bey, present » scene of business and ef trade. ‘That staple article, and the main one of export—coffes— ‘which #0 lopg bas been kept back for still more advanced rates, is row being slowly shipped, and vessels which Ihave been lying here for one, two, three and four months, now lock forward anxiously to = prospect cf getting a cargo. But the freights are low, very low, yet, and scme vessels have even refused the prices offered, and gone home in ballast. Vessels of moderate tonnags— from £00 to 400—are the more fortunate, as the ship- ments are yet small; but news having errived of the advancement of that commodity in the New York mar- ket, those most ranguine will doubtless begin ere long to ship more largely, and before many weeks Rio coffee will De quoted at considerably decreased rates in your reports.

The steamship America, from Boston fox Liverpoof day, carried out $774,000 in specie on freight. The steamship Cavada, at Helifex from Liverpoo', brings up seven days’ Ister intelligence from ail parts of Europe. The advices, both financially and commercial- ly, are of # favorable character. Quotations for consols show a firm, steasy market, while money continues in about the usual demand, at full rates of interest. The cotton market was active, without change im prices. Breadstuffs bad slightly improved, and there was s good inquiry. A moderate business was reported in Ameri- can securities, at previous quotations. The returns of the Bank of England show a small increase in the amount of bullion on hand, and the monthly report of the Bank of France is satisfactory. From the Continent we have accounts of the progress of the specu’ative ma nia, and there are strong indications of a serious ard sudden collapse. In Great Britain they are yet co wparatively free from it, and the Bank of England is doirg all in its power to prevent the «xcitement from crossing the channel. A steady adherence to its present poliey will do much towards checking the desire to enter into new projects and wild schemes, and confine tne ex- pansion and collapse to continental nations. So long as the people of Great Britain keep out of these speculations, an explocion of the numerous bubbles will not have much effect beyond their particular locality, The stringency of money matters in England is, at this moment, s dlesaing to the country at large, and there is mo doabt but that it will continue until all danger is past. There will be no reduction in the rate of interest by the Bank of England as long as the continental speculations are in the course of inflation. The high rates ruling for console, show tha there is no difficulty in raising money on firatelass seeuri ties, ‘The Assistant Treasurer reports to-day as follows: —~ Paid on Treasury account... $97,881 80 Received on Treasury account, 107,000 76 Bavence on Treasury account 10,078'501 72 Paid for Assey office..... ts) 84,095 47 Paid on disbursing checks. : 283313 93 Tke warrants entered at the Treasury Department, For the redemption of stocks + $59,914 52 For the Treasury Department. 2 1/000 67 For the Interior Department. 90,505 89 For Customs, 91,979 70 War warrants 100,562 69 War repay warrants received and ent 691 °5 War appropriation warrants, 1,696,327 12 From Customs, 12,273 31 Frem miscellane 11 64 On account of tke navy. . 89,708 O22 Ard on the 19th :-—- For the redemption of stocks. + $28,151 03 For the Interier Department . 10 For Custom: From Jands., From miscellai Toe following earnings of the Chicago and Galens Rall- road Company for April were :— Freight ..

Notwithstanding the large falirg off in the supply of beef cattle, 1,200 head, as compared with last week, # far: ther decline of 3c. per Ib. was established to-day at Allertou’s. This reduction is attriputable, maizly, to the nereaeing supply of small meat and vege:abies, waich imite the demand for beef very materially. The order of things at the eattle yards would seem to be reversrd. Sellers have been evabied, the past twe or three years, to terms to a certain extent, but the hign prizes dictat having at length stimulated increased production of stock, & substantial reduction in values must svener or later take place. The offerings for tl comprised 2 668 , and the range was 8c. a 10c. per 1b., averaging 9c. The quality of the eattle generally was good.
