Tre News. ‘Wall street and its neighborhood was yesterday the scene of an excitement such as is seldom wit- nessed even in this excitable city. It will be seen by the money article that several more failures among | the mercantile classes bave occurred, and that the | country banks are going down at the rate of two or | three every day. The extent of the defalcation in the Mechanica’ Banking Association has not yet | been discovered. The directors appear to know less about it than people outside. A description of the run upon several of the city banks, yesterday, together with accounts of the effect of the financial panic in various parts of the country, is given else- | where in our columns. | A despatch from New Orleans announces the re. ceipt of news at that city of a revolutionary out- bresk in Yucataa. The whole State was in arms. | The revolutionists were composed of the radical | party, and were everywhore successful. The Wilson Small Democratic General Committee | met at Tammany Hail last night, but after a short session adjourned without transacting any important | business. It was understood that acall for a pri- | mary election to choose delegates to the Democratic | State Convention was to have been ordered, but it | ‘was not done, there being some screw loose in the committee's machinery. It is understood that this | Geners] Committee will meet again at an early day. | Beverly Tucker, by and with the advice and con- sent of his friends, has accepted the Livepool consu- | ‘ate. He says bis letter declining the appointment | was written hastily and before consulting with his friends. ‘Another new association is formed. It is calied | the American Association for the Improvement of Railroad Machinery. The title suggests the objecta of the orgenization. The first gathering took place yesterday at the American Institute, in Broadway. | ‘The attendance was thin, very few of the original callers of the meeting being present. The proceed- ings will be found in full in another part of to-day's paper. The Central Park Commissioners met yesterday, but transacted no business of general interest, The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday and finished up a quantity of routine business. A resolu. tion was passed to collect all the laws having refer- ence to the Almshouse department, and the stand- ing rules and regulations that have been adopted from time to time, with a view to having them | printed. A resolution was also adopted to draw on | the County Treasurer for the amount collected by the Excise Commissioners from the liquor dealers for permits to sell ardent spirits. It amounta to $16,000. It is understood that it ison the tapis to cut down the salaries of the employés of all the de- partments, but the matter was not reached yester- aay ‘The fourth day's proceedings of the seventh an- nual fevtival of the Soctel Turnverein were highly interesting. The picnic at Yorkville Park was continned, and though there was a great diminu- tion in the number of visiters, the Americana were more nomerous thanon Mondsy. Our citizens of all nations seem gradually to become interested in these German social re-anions. Inthe evening the Stadt theatre, in the Bowery, was crowded to suffo- cation, on the occasion of # gymnastic and dramatic exhibition. The Comminsioners of Health met yesterday, but did no basiness of importance. The season is so far advanced that there is no longer any pressing dan- wer to the health of the city from infected restels, and the Commissioners, finding their “‘oceupation gone,” rarely held formal meetings, bat instead sit about five minutes in a corner of the Mayor's office or in the City Library, and there transact their business. Yesterday application was made by the master of the bark Express, now doling Quarantine duty, to come to the city. As it appeared the bark had been properly cleansed and fumigated the matter was referred to the Health Officer with power. This is the same bark that was libelled for alieged smug- pling of segars into this city by Surveyor Hat. Among the arrivals on Monday was the ship Rein- heart, from Bremen, with thirty cases of smallpox on beard. The election for State officers in Vermont took place yesterday. Of course the republican candi. dates met with but trifling opposition. The Post office at New Lonion, Conn., was broken into on Monday night, sbortly after the arrival o the steamer from New York, and the bag containing the Southern mail was stolen, The application of Mrs, Cunningham for a writ of habeas corpus to show cause why she should not be admitted to bail, was argued yesterday before Judge Peabody, of the Supreme Court, and the argument will be continued to-day. ‘The cotton market to some extent yesterday seemed to #) mpathize with the resent monetary excitement, though te stock in this market bas become quite light Yeuter ay wee the close of the cotton crep year.

The French papers continue from time to time to throw their fliogs at England and her policy, in which they are not seldom joined by the other Continental journals. This has particularly been the case in recent discussions of the India ques- tion, and to such an extent that not a few have imagined they perceived evident indications of the end of the alliance between England and France. It.often happens that those who are lookiug at &® game from a distance, and without the engross. ing feelings that absorb those who are engaged in it, perceive more clearly the bearings and ten- dencies of the play thando the players them selves. So it is with politics and the march of nations in Europe. Observant and reflecting men on this side of the Atlantic often take views of European politics very different from those held by the actors themselves; who, instead of watch- ing the whole game, are wholly engaged in noting the particular effect of separate and individual moves. Looking from a distance, as we do, upon the great political game now being played in Europe, we do not at all share in these prognostications of a rupture of the Auglo-French alliance. The evidences which others thivk to find in these occasional flings at Eogland by the French and Contisental journals are, to our view, nothing more than the sea which continues to roll over the face of the | ocean long after the gale has subsided and the wind has set steadily in from the opposite quar- ter. A few words will explain our meaning more clearly. There are, in fact, but two nations that aim at dominion over the continent of Europe, and these two are engaged in a continued struggle for the mastery in shaping the policy of the other courte, These are France and Russia—the Weet and the East. England, properly speaking, is not a Continental nation. She is an island, and an isolated Power; ber developement is on the ocean, aud through that and the exchange of the products of icdustry ehe seeks her advancement. | Whichever side she takes in the Continental struggle is aesured of victory. This was most evident to the firet Napoleon in the beginning of the present century; and most strenuously did he endeavor to detach her from Russia, but with- out avail. His interviews and intrigues with Alexander failed to awaken the jealousy of England; and with the Czar he could do nothing unless he gave him Constantinople, or, as he phrased it, “the empire of the world.” The commerce of England, secure upon the ocean, yielded her ohumdauuy the sinews Ot war, while her fleets were ever available to transport or to sustain the armies of her allics. So the first Napoleon fell. The second Napoleon saw this, aud his first step on coming into power was to secure the | alliance of England. Nicholas saw it, too, and he also bid for it. A goodly share of the “sick man,”’ Turkey, was proffered to her ambassador, Sir Hamilton Seymour, and no word was said of any participation by France. But England’s power was thrown into the other scale of European politics now. Russia, fostered by her alliance, had grown strong, and was already too over- shadowing. If she could to-day offer to cut up the Turkish “sick man,” to-morrow she might find a new patient in Austria, or some other country, as she bad formerly in Poland, and her power was already looming up in the East Finding diplomacy unavailable to shake the alliance, che tried war-—striking her blows quickly, before the new bonds between the Western Powers should have become firmly knit. But the fleets of England, with the armies of France, were too strong for her. Failing in this, the sought for peace, and renews the diplomatic struggle. In this contest it is manifest England has little to gain or lose, except to counterbalance the over- weening power of Russia, She is being gradually excluded as a seller from the industrial markets of Europe, and seeks in distant regions room for her commercial expansion. She is impregnable in Europe, for it is evident that neither France nor Russia can successfully aseail her there. What they may do in India is now the question. To us, however, it seems to be no question at all In the present condition of affairs in Europe it is evi- dently for the advantage of Fraace to etrengthen England in every possible way. Should she need assistance to re-construct her empire in India, in the shape of drilled troops to meet any sudden emergenocy—for in no other way can she need it— it is evidently for the intercet of France to give it to her at once. Notwithstanding the oocasional sour comments of the French journals on Indian affairs— comments which emanate from the eub- siding sentiments of the past, rather than the true tone of present feeling—we are confident that the thinking men of France are ready to act with England in every possible way. In @ large and comprehensive view, a similar course, or at least one of forbearance, is the true policy of Rusia also. Universal dominion is a dream that never can be realized. If Russia pertinaciously insists in ex- citing hatred to the rule of England in In- dia, the consequences must react with tenfold energy upon herself, for she can only hope to in- fiict a passing injury. Her true policy is to court England also, so that she may not throw too heavily into the scale of French influence her heavy purse and stout sword. This is the grea game that is being played in European politics and the players will do well to keep it always in view. England, too, haea duty in the India question. She has consented to the existence there of a mass of tyranny and corruption that now, when the day of trial comes, fears the light Of 4 free press; and so it must be gagged. Such ap act is treason to that civilization of which England is the mother; and she owasit to herself, and to the whole world, to sweep away a state of things 60 false to all EngJish instincts and princi- ples, and to re-conetruct ber Indian empire upon 4 system more congenial to the political freedom of the Anglia world. Tux Artantio Capie—Morx Ligpt Wasted. —Notwithstanding the minute details which have been published of the accident by which the lay- ing of the Atlantic telegraph cable was brought to so abrupt and unfortunate a termination, there still remains one very important point to be set- tled, without full explanation of which the public will not and ought not to be satisfied. It ia not sufficient to know that the cable broke under an extraordinary pressure, owing to what seems to have been the negligence of the man who had cbarge cf the brakes at the time of the accident, and it is eminently proper and due to the people of both nations most immediately interested in the success of the enterprise, that a full and satisfactory report on the matter should be published without delay. It appears from the documents furnished by the Telegraph Company to Captain Hudson— which were published in the Heap of Mon- dey in our correepondent’s highly graphic ac- count—that Mr. Charles T. Bright was invested with supreme authority and control over the en- tire undertaking. All the responsibility rests upon his shoulders, and we submit that it is his duty to make a full statement to the public of the accident and ite immediate cause. On the most important points not a particle of light has been thrown, either by the English jour- nals or by the official report of Mr. Field. Even the correspondent of the Hzraup, though he has followed up all the movements of the enterprise, from first to last, with a fidelity and miautencas not equalled in any other journal either in this country or in Europe, fuils to give the required information in regard to the accident and the par- liculars atiending it, from the fact, we sup- pore, tbat it occurred at four o’ciock in the morning, when all on board, except those en- gaged in paying out or in managing the ship, were asleep in their berths. Nota syllable has been whispered about it by any one who was present at the moment when the cable parted. This is singular and looks myeterious. Of course, the insinuation thrown out by the minor journals that the cable was broken by design, upon dis- covering that there was not enough on board to reach Newfouudland, will not be believed by the public. Jf apy such thing was attempted, it would hardly be done when less than three hun- dred miles from the starting point, and before the deepsea portion of the voyage was fully tested. It appears from the despatch received at the Navy Department from Capt. Hudson, that Mr. Bright was persoually superintending the machinery when the accident occurred; and, for ought we kuow to the contrary, his might have been the hand which applied the brakes. The machinery, we are informed, was his own invention, and we trust that he was not, like so many inventors, too confident of the perfection of his owa work. It is admitted at all hands, that, to the deficiency of his machiae, and want of foresight in apply- ing it, the accident is due. Mr. Bright may be a very skilful engineer; but he is evidently not a nautical man, and knows nothing of the effect which the motion of a ship ina heavy sea may have on machinery. If he does, we hardly know how to account for the radhnees exhibited in applying the brakes with full power, at the moment when the strain on the cable was almost the utmost it could bear. In- deed, Mr. Bright does not attempt to shift the responsibility over on other heads; for he states in a communication to Capt. Hudson, that he does not consider the fracture of the cable to be in the least degree attached to any one connected with the clip. Another extraordinary event in the history of this expedition has aleo been paseed over without any attempt at explanation. It will be remembered that the day before the cable parted the conti- nuity was interrupted for two hours and a half, During that interval the electric current refused to pass to the coast of Ireland or back to the Niagara. The scientific men on board took coun. eel, and decided that the gutta percha had worn off a portion of the wire, and that the insulation was hopeleesly destroyed. It was actually agreed upon to cut the cable and return to England ; when suddenly, as if by magio, the continuity was restored, and messages began to flash along the wire. Among the wise heads which eur- rounded the machine that day are there none who can furnish a theory upon which to account for this phenomenon? If a submarine line is subject to such eccentricities as this, its value will be materially decreased. The public mind will not be content until the fullest official statement of how and why the cable broke is published. At present it is not eatisfactorily accounted for. Mere generalities and bald facts are not sufficient—the public want the particulars. Let us have more light. Meantime, we hope sincerely that the enter- prise will not be put off till next year. The di- rectors met on the 19th ult. to decide whether the attempt shall be renewed in October, or post. poned to next summer. There is ample time be- tween that date and the first of October to manu- facture the additional cable necessary, and tho- roughly refit the paying out machine, doing away with the brakes altogether. With five hundred additional miles of cable, a well tested machine, & competent chief engineer, and the ex- perience of the past trial, we have every confidence in its success There are only three months in which an attempt to lay the cable can be safely made—Jane, August and October; and the latter month is just as favorable jor the undertaking as either of the others. The weather in that month is usually mild and genial, ‘and, according to our experience, some of the pleasantest and best trans-Atlantic voyages have been made at that season. We see no reason why the expedition should be postponed, and we opine that if the directors should have resolved to de- fer it, the disappointment and regret will be uni- versal. Tue Baxks axp Prices —The eudden curtail- ment of the banks, followed yesterday by the eus- pension of the Mechanice’ Banking Association, two or three failures of brokers and merchanta and afarther stringency in the money market and a fall in prices—details of all which will be found elsewhere—leads us again to prognosticate lower prices for the great staples of life, and to congratulate the public on the gradual break down of thoee great monopolies which have for years kept up the cost of land, rent, bread, beef and provisions by their perpetual creation of pa- per values and their constant demand for pecu- niary accommodation. The statistical accounte of the bank movemeut for the past five or six years show that while the epecie line has but slightly varied, the discount line has been enormously increased; in other words, that while the banks are no richer than they were, that they have been far greater lend. ere than ever. Itis but too obvious indeed that our city banks have in too many instances allow ed themselves to be made the tools of the rail- ways, ond have aided them in producing the scarcity of money which causes the dearness of all the necessaries of life. Banks are excellent inetitutions, when properly managed; but when they become the mere instra- mente of grasping monopolies, and the eupport of the speculators who intervene between conrumer and producer, and enable them to realise fortunes by inflating prices far above their natural level, they are a nuisance, and the sooner they break the beiter. There can be no doubt that the break of the railways will be @ blessing to the country; recent eventa lead one to doubt whether the ruin of a few of the banks would hurt us mach. THE SECESSION PRESBYTERIAN CONVENTION AT Ricumonp.—The Convention at Richmond of the seoeders from the General Assembly of thé New School Presbyterian church held some time since at Cleveland, Obio, has reached its third day, and the proceedings promise to be continued for several days longer. It will be remembered that the General Aesem- bly convened at Cleveland passed certain resolu- tions, by which the holding of slaves was declared to be anti-Christian and contrary to the doctrines of the Presbyterian church. This course at once placed all the members of that church who reside in the siave States without its pale, and the re- sult bas been that these have met in Convention, in order to prepare a Presbyterian plattorm on which they can stand, and to call a regular Gene- ral Aseembly for the purpose of organizing the government of their churches. The call for this Convention, which we re-published yesterday in the report of the second day's proceedings, is a very temperate acd modest document. It sets out with the dec’aration that the action of the Clevelard Assembly on the subject of slavery shows that pesce and barmouy can no longer prevail in that body, and requires the organization of acother Assembly, in which the agitation of the slavery question will be unknown. It goes on to argue that the Cleveland Assembly has declared slaveholding to be a sin in the sight of God and an offence in the sense of the consti- tution of the church, although there is not the most remote allusion to it in the standards of the charch; that it regards this action of the Assem- bly as a palpable violation of the spirit and let- ter of its constitution, involving an ecciesiasti- cal despotism as tyrannical as that of Rome; it declares that it holds the introducers of this vexed question as alone responsible for the con- sequences of the division of the church; and, final- ly, calls all constitutional Presbyterians who oppose such an agitation in the church to meet in the present Convention at Richmond. We are glad to eee that several Presbyteries in Pennsylvania are represented in the Couven- tion. The proceedings thus far are mostly pre- liminary. The report ef the Committee on Business has been made, and is now under discus- sion. This report isa very judicious one, and tbree of its six resolutions have been adopted without amendment. An attempt was made to en- graft the doctrine of implication—that is, of in- terpreting the constitution with latitude, in order to bring implied offences as well as specified ones within the jurisdiction of the Geueral As. sembly—but it was rejected. On the third day the discussion pending was as to the tcope which should be given to the new Synod, the committee's report wishing to make it na- tional, while an ameudment was introduced to limit it to the South. One of the evidences of the prevalence of a correct spirit in the Conven- tion is that it has determined to drop the term “New School” ari retnen te the id title. We are not disposed to look upon this new split in the Presbyterian church as foreboding any serious evils to the country. The movement that caused it is one of a series that seems to run through the several churches of the world, all of which spring from the same mauia for intro- ducing new doctrines and inventing new reasons why Satan should catch us all. The English Episcopal church is split on Puseyiem, which in- troduces the new doctrine of genuflections ; Rome, after letting the faithful for nearly two thousand years go to heaven without any par- ticular opinion as to the Immaculate Conception, now insists upon closing the gates of St. Peter to all who do not implicitly believe in it; and the New School Presbyterians now determine to make a cardinal sin of what has been looked upon as merely a social question for more than four thourand years. The result of all these new doctrines is practically to decrease the re- spect of men for the churches; for it will be very difficult to persuade the sons that they must be damned for doing the very things that did not take away a single iota of their fathers’ chances of going to heaven. Derarture or Curvaiter Wikorr For Evrore—His Misston.—Amongst the passen- gers for Europe by the Jason, to-day, is that distinguisbed diplomat, politician, litterateur, amaur journalist and carpet knight—the Cheva- lier Wikoff. He returns to the Old World laden with honors During his last visit to us he has led a busy, and, we believe, a profitable}life. To tum up in a few words the resutts of his achieve- ments, be has published an American edition of his “Roving Diplomatist,” harmonized the trac- tious rump of the democraxy, patronized the dinners of our Fifth avenue millionaires, broken the hearte of half a dozen of our fashionable belles, and finally carried away with him a hoet of agreeable, social and political souvenirs, which he will no doubt give ‘o the world in somo tutare publication. Some of our contempcraries, who profess to be intimately acquainted with the Chevalier’s eecreta, and who have chronicled his movements with the fidelity of the Court newsman, have from time to time anrounced his appointment to various important posta, At one time he was aid to be nominated to the Consulship at Paris; at another to that, of London; more recently still, to the highey diplomatic appointment at Berlin. A venerable daily, which devotes itself to the eolution of scientific problems, undertook to explain the myeterious variety of these rumors by the announcyment that he was to be entrast- ed with the important mission of regulating all our foreign legations, and of posting up our ministers on their duties and reeponsibilities, Now, we donot for a moment doubt the capacity of the Chevalier for each and every one of thoee posts, and still less do we doubt his readiness to accept of them. The man who, under Lord Pal- merston, undertook to preserve the peace of the world, must feel himeelf equal to anything, and Wikoff is not @ man to belie his destiny, Unfortunately, however, for the accuracy of these various items of semi-official information — unfortunately, too, we will say, for the credit of tome of the nonentities who represent us abroad —the Chevalier goes out to Europe without any local or general authority connected with our foreign missions. We are neither to have the advantage of his valuable services in ® consul. thip nor as flapper-general to our Baropean lega- tions. We deplore it for the sake of the country, we deplore it for that of brs numerous well- from the highly have lately appeared in the columns of our elty contempo- raries, it eeems to us that no appointment would have been more popular. The President, how- ever, has not thought fit to act upon the recom- mendations 60 broadly given him, so Wikoff re- turns to Europe withont a post, but still, like Cincinnatus, as distinguished and as inextingnish- able in his obecurity as in any political elevation that could be conferred upon him. We believe that the Chevalier’s present visit to Europe has relation solely to his own private af- faire, and not to apy political object whatsoever, He goes to Paris to re-publish in French his last remarkable work, in which he eo ably analyses the condition of France in 1851 and the events which led to the coup d’éat. The Emperor has, we un- derstand, read the narrative in English, and is a0 gratified with the general tone of it, that he has waived in its favor the interdict on foreign politi- cal works, Its publication in Paris, at the pre- eent moment, is calculated to be of great service to the Imperial réyime, and there is nodoubt that its author will in turn reap some benefit from it, This task accompliehed, our roving diplomat will probably again turn his attention to political affairs, The settlement of the Indian difficulty and the accommodation of the quarrel with Commissioner Yeh are objects which may open up a eufficient field to his ambition.
