The demand for money to-day was very active, and the impression in the street early in the day was that the banks must have called in loans pretty sharp. When the bank statemeut appeared, and showed a contraction of only about thirty thou- sand dellars, the effect was by no means of a favorable character. I. wasargued that if money was ia such active|dewand withou; any contraction of bank loans, we might expect serious times when the edutraction comanenced. The reduction in deposits is an unfa- able feature in the present report. The demand for money cannot be satisfactorily ac-ounted for by the bank managers. They are a little astonished at the present activity, aud well they may be. Scocks were turned out to-day in large lots. Nearly every stock on the list was freely ofered, and all the cash purchases were by the shorts, for delivery. When stock was taken in, it was put out again immediate- ly, on time, boyer’s or seller's optiou. There are innu- merable causes for this decline in prices, andethese causes will operate strong enough and loog enough to bring about much lower rates. There is no out- side absorption, and there cun be none. Outside hold- ers will soon be obliged to sell, and as for acy new parchases, it is utterly outo: the question. Those who entertain a different opinion uow will soon change their minds. After the adjournment of the board the following sales of bonds and stocks were made at auction by A. H, Nicolay:— $4,000 Cai. & Rock Island Rk. L.

Draper will sell, to-morrow, among other secu- rities, at the Merchants’ Exchiuge, some of the bonds of the Lackawanna Rail and Coal Con- pany. These are first mortgnge b>nds, secured upon a valuable property, well kuwn to the large body of intelligent New York capitalists, who have for some time had their uttection fixed upoa this Lacka- wanna coal district. At the second board the market was very dull. ‘The aggregate transactions sum up only about five tuundred +bares of al! stocks. There are plenty of stocks on the market, but there are no buyers. The lower prices go, the greater the disposition to sell. After the Loard stocks generally were lower. Erie railroad closed at 594 per gent; Cleveland and Tole- | N do, 73; New York Central, « Michigan Southern, 894; Reading, 864, All these stocks were offered at these prices, without finding buye, except among the shorts. The market is decidedly sick, and we fear the disease is of a chronic character. ‘The Long Dock Compauy of New Jersey have called for another instalment of twenty per ceat payable on the Ist of September The Arago’s news is vo Ister than that received by the arrival at Quebec The detailed reports of the money aad produce marke's do ovt give as any- thing more favorable. Cousols were fat, without change in prices. Money was more active, andon the Stock Exchange rates ruled as high as four and a balf per cent, Tbe drain of batlion from London ccntinved, and there was no probability of a let up. ‘The arrivals in London from all qaarters were sent immediately across the Channel, and it was the im- pression in financial circles that the drain would be continued. The next Sank of Fngiand return is likely to be bad. We look for a great dearth in the specie reserve. The markets for our ataple exports are not in a very eatistactory condi- tion.

Meanwhile, the increase in France and the United States has been on a scale of equal magnitude. With * | regard to silver and copper, the present statement shows that the cost of the silver for the coinage of the above sum of £2,284,400 was £2,214,151, leaving a surplus of £70,258; the copper for the coinage of £138,795 coat £69,303.

Its products are equally needful as those of agriculture, and more difficult to reach; they want to be worked by ‘the union of greater skill and more considerable capital. In agriculture a single man may raise some products; in mining an assoc ation of men is neceseary: hence the necessity of working mines to furm companies. Conse- quently: when we heard around us, ‘“iod deliver us ym mining stock’’ (a sentence so many times uttered of late)—from mining , without which it would not be possible to work mines—it is as absurd as to exclaim, “God deliver us from plantations, farms and gardens.” Although we confess it, this shows for the min ing industry a situation to which prompt remedies are necessary to make it as every other species of industry, ‘the object of legitimate pursuits—of wise aad prudent in- vestments of capital In this country, when the first explorers were mage over by the hopes of discovering precious motals—when hunting mineral wealth was the object of numerous and bold expeditios s against flerce and hostile po} tions —is it not astonishing how little nas been done yet for that object’ When ali the dillerent kinds of labor whieh afford a legiti- mate remuneration to the activity of the American pco- ple are progressing 80 rapidly a8 0 astonish the oldest bations, is it not astonishing how the mining industry, with its chances of rapid tortunes, remains in a state of inferiority, and raises aa an investment for capital, fears ee increasing’ Many causes produce this state of 3. Because masy mining adventures were the ramon So immediate and considerable benefite—decause many tunes were made in a short time—these facts have roused hopes which cannot be always , and 00 sanguine are shortly sucseeded by a discouragement of enterprises which would require for success more perse- versace and energy. ‘This inconsiderate notion of obtaining wealth immedi- ately in mining enterprise prevents perrons making a thorough examination of the chances of mines in such an enterprir—cof calculating what amount of capital will be necesiary to carry it t a successful end. The mning cence, Fo difficult from the great variety of scientific knowledge it involves, is lected, and the number of competent men being rather Micient, the difficulty to obtain candid and rc liable advice leads people, in most cases, to embark in the adventure without svflicient information. For putting up « large building, they call ou architects; for constructing a railroad, on civil engineers: but for opening a mine, sink at ran- dom a shaft, they rpend a largesum in a great many cases to Sud out water more or leas limpid, and then the Gisappeipted .sharcholders exclaim, ‘God deliver us from mining stock?’’ If a more favorable place has been found, affording ore which would pay with benefit ali the work done tor discovery, no calculation or estimate having been made beforehand about the capita! to end of the enterprise, the funds are exhausted when the discou: } ment i when it becomes more difticult to call stalments, apd a good and profitable adventure is wound up when the euccess was near at band. ‘The dieappointment of rapid fortunes induces, to resch the object £o anxiously hunted for, specu lations im stock e Of waiting the bene! trom the adventure iteclf; and in place of working mines, they are gambling in miner, For the success of these operations companies are formed with & fictitious capital; © proprietory with forty or fifty thousand dollars js put in stock at dye hundred and ope million of dol- Jars, and the value of the stock fMuctuatcs below par, in #tead of raising with the deyeiopement of the works of the mine. Hf, in of all these difficulties, the adventure main- talks from ite own resources, it is overrated by use less expenees; the management is divided between the cflice located in a large city and between the office at the mane; for want of competent men the imperfect and too expensive, and the dividends the sin- cere shareholders are looking for never come out, and from every quarter they exclaim, “God deliver us trom mining stock!

THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. Excitement in France—Napoleon’s Plans Avowed—The Fighting in the Provinces— Fosition of Marshal Narvaez Defined—OM- cial Changes at Madrid—O'Donnell’s Influ- ence Declining. OUB LONDON CORRESPONDENCE. Loxvox, July 29, 1856, Spanish affairs are still ina state of imbroglio, It ap- pears that nearly every town in Spain had risen. As the news comes through France, the O'Donnell government only allows such news to pass the frontier as is favorable to himself, The three days’ severe fighting at Barcelona ‘was anounced at first as a slight attempt at disturbance. ‘The news that Gen. Falcon had fled from Saragossa has proved false, and we learn by various announce ments that sundry towns have submitted. Now we never learned that they had risea, and yet one is the necessary consequence of the other, Narvaez has been waiting on the frontier like a tiger, ready to pounce upon tae first opportunity that offers itself, but he returned to Paris yesterday, Espartero is reported stillat Madrid. It is said Gen. Pulse has bomberded Saragossa, but that brave city is accustomed to Sighting. The Maid of Saragossa, the Spanish Joan of Arc, is not yet forgotten. I hear that some wholesale executions have taken place, O'Donnell is a bloodthirsty man, and disregard: buman life. Retaliation will follow, When bis meu are caught they will be shot, and we shall Baye a renewal of the fearful bioodsbed that prevailed during the former Carlist war. The French government, after remaining silent for so Jong a time, bas, at last, come out, and, in an article attri- buted by many to the Emperor, approves of the conduct of O'Donpell, Tho Parts Monitewr, of 27th of July, says:— We have watched with interest the recent events in Spain, and we bave approved them to a certain extent, as we fancied we discovered therein a favorable chance for establishing the constitutional government on a firm basis; for France, which repreents in Europe the ideas of 1789, can entertain no other wish than that of beholding » neighboring State, in whose prosperity she takes a dee) interest, avoid anarchy or des) two shoals »0 dangerous to progress and liberty; and, as the Espartero Ministry did not seem to possess either the power to pre- vent exorsses or the be energy to lead a great country, it is patural to hail with sympathy a change of o nature to consolidate the throne of Isabeila Il. Some toreign journals, blinded by their unwarranted preference for a name, have called a coup d'etat that which was simply @ resignation of Ministers, accepted rarely and simply by the Queca after reiterated refusals. if the ri tion had been that of © Donnell, they would have found \t perfectly constitutional, Party spirit should Dever misrepresent things to such an extent, and thereby endeavor to mislead public opinion, The condition of pein had been deplorable for two years: that great country, for so long a time the arbiter of Europe, whose al ¢ but recently waa eagerly sought for, bad sunk into insignificance, It had neither finances, Lor army, 50F commerce, nor aiministration, nor influence abroad. In this difficult position ambitious men, instead of endeavoring to give strengih to what ex attempted to overthrow it, either by flattering the ms of the mob or by attempting to realize danger corders which have agitated Spain for the tant few years murt be attributed te the fatal idea of certal Ministers, iour years since, to make @® coup d'ftat, wh Spain was tranquil and prosperous, and when there no Cogent reason to urge them to make @ sudden chang: tn the laws of the kingdom. For a coup d'état to be legitimate in the eyes of poste rity it must be justified by a supreme necessicy, and be regarded by all men as the sole means of saving the country. We Tsow those who dreamt of coupe d'etat not with » view to modify some institutions, but to sub vert the throne or change the dynasty, either by uniting Portugal to Spain under the house of Bragauee or by establishing a regency. We theret ive credit (mows iui savons grt) to Marebal O'Donnell for having attempted, withoct a oup @élat, wo restore order in Spain, the first a indepensadle basis of liberty. 'e@ give bim ¢@ credit for baving, during the firet momeut of anarchy devoted aii hs care to the reform of the Spanish army, as weil ina moral as in ® material point of view, for it did not suffice to reform battaitons and squadrous—it was esventially necessary to give to soldiers who are as brave as they are capable of great things the only mamsprings for the maintainance of an army, duty and fidelity to the sovereign, and discipline. Let us hope, then, that the recert changes will pat an end to these coups d’état aud to those banetul mia mentor, for it ts our sincere deire that Spain, which con taing so many elements of strength and prosperity, should , in the midet of qmet, the rank which is ber due, instead of descending to the level of certain republics of South America, where neither riotiem, nor civic vir. tues, nor nigh principle are to found, but only afew generals who ¢ieqpute the power with the help of soldiers led astray by empty promises. VIEWS OF THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH CABINETS— THE NON-INTERFRRENCE PRINCIPLE ADVOGATED. [From the London Times, July 29.) The Inte article in the Menitewr on the affairs of Spain Tony de ta¥en as an announcement that the French govern ment approves the course taken by the Queen and her present Minister, and will give them at least its moral fupport. We cannot believe that the pabiic nie of thie covotey will acquiesce ia the judgment of 1! ries, but, a2 France seins not likely to convert a into active iterferenee, and ag England has long aban dove’ the notion that Liberal institations can be establieh y loud by foreign intervention, the disagreement valative than practical, Troating, Mon cur aa merely a0 essay on a politics, we may be allowed to re- mark om what seems to us its erroneous views of a coun- try which has for many years been the subject of atten- tion, but ts even mow but little understood. it are the Occurrences which within the last few doye bave agitated Spain? A constitutional Queen, who holds ber title to the crown by legal enactment against a relative ‘aiming by divine right, has guddeniy dis Misred, or causec to be 3 the Minister who during his bole career hae been the champion of ble go- verntnent im her dominions. Another politician, known only as a resolute and unscrupnious soldier, has been raleed to supreme power. This substiimtion of a n ito. riously absolutist Minister for a man of strictly constita- tional views would seem toa foreigner a dangerous act We miabt, however, be in the wrong. Bat when wo see the actual and immediate reau'ts we can no longer hest tate as to the obaract’r of the change. We find that in ® .rreetion immediately followetin Madrid, and that for this inewrs eotion the new government was thoroughly pre pared beforehand. We find that O’Ponne!l, taking ad- vantage of bie as Minister of War, bad concentrated thousand men on the capital.

Neither the words nor the idea they ex) are English, aud we may bes! well concede to the Sfoniteur stricter accu- Whether, coup e’ he has by vio- lence and in pursuance of a premedit plan, dispersed the Legislature, disbanded National Guard, and ov thrown the constitutional liberties of the country. capnot think that this is a conel t struggles and sacrifices of during sey gd bo years. We cannot think that the man who has com ted this act can be fitly described as ‘ha to restore order to S| ‘9s the first and moat indispen- sable basis of liberty."’ Knowing, a3 we do from experie rnce, that repreesion must produce corresponding resiat- ance, and that, however extended and st it may be, the reaction must come ut last, we are far from feeling that “it is natural to bail with be mcd a change of @ nature to consolidate the throne of Isabella IL.” It is not to be denied that on the Continent England is im many minds the object of suspicion, on the und of @ supposed selfish and Machiavellian policy. We who kpow our own country, bow little the care about fcreign affairs, and how completely in this their goverm- ment represents them, can hardly conceive that the ac- tions of even well informed Continedtal politicians are swayed by a notion that England is always on the watch for the extension of ber intluence in Spain, in Port: Ttaly, and the East. The French politician of Louis Ulzavoon sgaan rages, iat witch Higian. sopreme ations sgains , wi uy; over the second rate States, should take the oad. thts notion, as wild as that of the bourgesis about = jand’s desire to monopolize the commerce of world, was once wide! prevalent, and seems to bave left some tions even % has itself passed away. One of these is the dislike of Espartero which has distinguished successive French govervments, re repubjican and imperial. The chae racter of this well meaning old gentleman is well kn-wn. He has proved himself during a long career an honest, brave and good hearted man, with [sie re to which he has always been ready to sacrifice pereonal interesta. His defects have been timidity and irresolution at a sud- den crisis, a want of foresight, and a nature easily im- ported upon by the kind of persons with whom he was likely to be surrounded at the Court of Madrid. clan who does not feel the are bound to him, no received, but by what likely to be long in office parte- ro one of these, and, consequently, he bas now to lament—if It be ‘ot any use—the ingrati- tude of the Queen, the King, and of O’Donneli bimeelt, his own familiar frieui and disciple. This is the mam who, according to notions now & quarter of a cent oid, is the representative of British influence at Madrid. It is needlese to tay that he has never dune anything for us in Spain, since, of course, there is nothing that we wish done, Beyond our rock of Gibraltar we hoid nothing om Spanish, cr, indecd, on continental ground, and our oniy interest in Spain is that there should be a stable govern ment, under which the people should live happily and develope thc mselves and their resources 1u their own way. Nor bave Eugitsbmen any wish to uphold a constitution merely because it is acopy of their owa. The timeis past for apy such partiality. For seventy years wehavescem the venerable institutions ‘of this kingdomgmimicked with every variety of the sad, the horribie, and the burlesque, by the voprepared intelligence of two hemispheres. We look to the establiabment of Upper and lower Chambers, the inauguration of Prestdente, and the regulation of Par~ lamentary procedures, only with feelings of apprehension aud distriat. Neither from any hope of matertal adyaa- tage, por from any ambition for influence and prestige, now fromany national vanity, bave the people oi this country given their sympathies ty the couse of moderate govern- ment in Spain, and to the man who, to the best of bis ability, has been its constant supporter.
