According to our local reports and our telegraphic Gdvices from all parts of the country, yesterday was the gloomiest day of the present dismal finan- cial period.* Our readers will naturally turn to the money article for the details of business in this city. In Philadelphia the Governor of Pennsylvania has at last yielded to the solicitations of the financiers, and bas issued a proclamation calling an extra ses- Bion of the Legislature, for the purpose of legalizing the course of the banks in that State in suspending specie payments. The banks of Providence yester- | day res to suspend. The steamship Jura, which left Cork on the 17th nst., arrived at St. Johns yesterday morning. The Jura has been chartered by the Englith government to carry troops from North America to India. By ‘this arrival we should have advices four days later than those brought by the Canada to Halifax, but as there was only one Irish paper, dated on the 16th ‘inst., on board, our news summary is meagre. In | the London money market the funds were very dull | on the 15th, and much more gloomy on the 16th ‘inst. There was a large increase in the demand for money at the Bank of England. The financial ad_ vices from New York, with news of a second in- crease in the rate of discount by the Bank of Hol- land, bad had a prejudicial effect on operations. It ‘was thought that all the German banks would imi- | tate the example of the Bank of Holland. Consols | for money closed at 90} on the 16th inst—a slight de- | cline. Flour bad very slightly improved. We have ‘no report of the cotton market. From India we have cews dated outside of Delhi city on the 29th of July, and at Bombay on the 16th | of August. Delhi was still held by the mutineers, | who made severe sorties on the English troops. ‘They were always repulsed with loss. Five hundred | English eoldiers bad been killed. The Neemuch | mutineers had entered Delhi. General Nicholson | had tuken command of the English, in place of | General Read, who was ill. Bitpoor was occupied | dy the British, but Nana Sahib had escaped. Ten | thousand mutineers had been defeated near Luck- | now. On the two last named occasions the rebels lost twenty eight guns. The reports of the massa cres of Europeans at Cawnpore are confirmed We publied elsewhere a brief letter from Lieut Gen. Beott, replying to Gen. Pillow’s recent ela Doraté revelations respecting the alleged bribery of General Santa Anna during the pendency of the | ‘war with Mexico. General Scott declares upon his honor that he never gave Santa Anna a dollar, and he evidently regards General Pillow as something | wore than a humbug. We learn from Washington that the Ministers of Guatemals, San Salvador and Costa Rica have ad dressed a note to Gen. Cass informing him that ‘Walker is fitting out # new expedition against Nica- | ragua, the men of which are to go from the South | and the armament from New York. The expedition is to gather and be put together at the harbor of Bocas de! Toro, a short distance south of San Juan del Norte, and then to isnd at that port. The Min- ‘isters request that a vessel of war may be sent to | the jormer harbor, and that the one lying at San | Jnan de! Norte be ordered to prevent the landing | They also desire that the filibusters may be sent back to the United States as transgressors of our laws and disturbers of the peace of friendly nations: | We e the points of Gen. Casa’ reply to this letter | Bome Gays since | The Lowber claim against the city of New York, n 4 contract for lote on the East river, sold for the purposes of a public market, and on which judg” ment and execution were obtained to the amount of $196,000, was decided by Judge Roosevelt yesterday, | on exceptions taken by the Comptroller in his offi cial capacity and in his standing as a taxpayer. | ‘The Judge decides that the judgment obtained by Mr. Lowber against the city in a suit undefended by the Corporation Counse|—although he was directed by the Common Council not to defend it—must be vacated and set aside. The suit, which has already cost Mr. Lowber and the Corporation many thou- wand dollars, mast be commenced de novo, and no doubt various other contracts will be put in. ‘The sums collected up to yesterday morning, in mid of the sufferers by the wreck of the steamer Central America, amounted to $16,702. This is cer- @ainly very creditable, considering the tightness of the money market. The committee are actively engaged in inquiring into the circumstances of the spplicante for assistance. Mrs. Sarah Magruder, ‘wife of the Mayor of Washington city, has issued fp appeal to her countrywomen, proposing to raise by sub-cription @ sum suflicient to provide an annui- | partion to fill several foreiga orders Doyers at 70c , while The. were asked. Pork was dull and | | le €d a 1s. Od , and cotton ratification meeting in Bleecker Buildings, corner of Bleecker and Mor‘on streets, last evening, when addresses were delivered by Dudley D. Field and Gen. James W. Nye. In the courre of his speech Mr. Field acknowledged that the new Port Wardens’ bill was a bad act, and said he wou d not undertake to defend it. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, avd having paseed upon a few bills adjourned to Thurs- day next The Board of Aldermen met last evening. The report reorganizing the Finance Department was called up, but recommitted. The report from the Councilmen re-districting the city was taken up, and, after the adoption of an amendment creating an ad- ditional district in the Fifteenth ward, was con- curred in. A resolution to have one thousand copies of the laws passed by the last Legislature relative to this city printed in document form for the use of the members of the Common Council was passed, The Board adjourned to Monday next. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening. Mr. Haswell offered a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Mayor to inform the Postmaster General that it is not within the power of the Common Council to dispose of any lands of the city except by public sale. It seems that it has been represented to the Postmaster General that the Common Council could allow him to erect a build- ing in the Park, and in order to correct this erro- neous impression and to expedite the erection of the new Post Office, Mr. Haswell offered his motion. A resolution was adopted, on the report of the Com- mittee on Ferries, directing the Comptroller to advertise for sale the ferry franchise from the foot of Jackson street, East river, to Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, for aterm of ten years. At present a large number ef mechanics are obliged to cross in small boats. ‘he reorganizing ot the departments in conformity with the new charter was made the special order for Wednesday, to which time the Board adjourned. The Board ordered a fire tele- graph apparatus to be placed in the City Hall, and requested the Mayor to appoint two operators to take charge of it. In Committee of the Whole a resolution in favor of awarding the contract for lighting the city north of Seventy-ninth street by the Harlem Gas Company was passed to a third reading. The ordinance for redistricting the city was returned by the Aldermen in order that this Board might concur in a slight amendment, which was agreed to and the ordinance adopted. Tke Committee on General Discipline of the Me tropolitan Police Commissioners met yesterday, and examined witnesses in the cases ot officer Joseph Knight and James McKay, of the Sixth precinct, They were cha: ged with receiving a bribe from John Jacobs and James Adams, whom they had under arrest for passing counterfeit money. Three wit nesses testified, and were cross-examined by counsel for the defence, when the further hearing was ad- journed till Wednesday next. A typographical error in the Hraxp, a few days since, made it appear that James E. Center, ot the Second precinct, was charged with intoxication. The correct name was James C. Carter. The charge will probably be dis missed. The examination of Joseph Daly, one of the per- sons implicated in the atiack upon the members of Engine Company No. 41, on Saturday night last, was commenced yesterday before Justice Welsh, and will be continued to-day. We give a report of the testimony in another column. The semi-annual report of the Comptroller, show- ing the condition of the city finances, was pre- sented to the Board of Councilmen last evening. We give an abstract of the document in another column. ‘The sales of cotton sterday were quite limited, and prices were uncharged. Holders were shipring to Liver. pool on their owaaccount.

The reason is obvious; The general government, with its Sub-Treasury and its substantial financial poli. cy and resources, holds now the balance ot power ae our great financial regulator. The Sub-Treasu- ry has become a fixed, permanent and popular in- stitution; whereas, in the political reaction which culminated in the Presidential election of 1840, the policy of Jackson and Van Buren, first against the United States Bank and then against the pet banks, rallied the incensed speculators, financiers and stockjobbers of all parties against Van Buren’s re-election. Thus, with the popular cry of “anything for a change,” the combined anti-administration forces swept the field in 1840, How stands the matter now? The adininistra- tion of Mr. Buchanan is founded upon a rock, Clear of all sorts of banks, and resting upon a epecie basis, it will survive “the pelting of the pitiless storm” which is upon us. Like a staunch ship under a capable captain and crew, it will ride out the gale, and hundreds of shipwrecked financial voyagere drifting about upon the waves will seek the shelter of its decks. “Bleeding Kanevs” and the nigger agitation have built up ty of twelve or fifteen hondred dollars for the widow an overwhelming anti-slavery organization ia and daughter of Commander Herndon. The ladies | the North; but this financial earthquake will re- mre invited to hold meetings, and transmit whatever | call the thinking Northern people to their senses, fumes may be collected to George W. Riggs, banker Washington. Deubtiess this appeal will be liberal Jy responded to. The borricane deck, wheel-house, pilot house, &c., belonging to the steamship Central Ame: ‘was ecen on the 17th inst., about fifty miles east of Cape Hatteras, by Capt. Slocum, ®chooner b. Townsend, hence at Charleston. The American Judiciary Convention met last evening and organized by appointing Gen. Jobn Lioy?, of the Seventeenth ward, as chairman. The ‘Thirtenth ward contested seats were disposed of toy admitting the G. ©. Dean delegation. A large ‘Troma ¢ Of names were submitted to the Convention viidates for the Judges of the Supreme Court, the « on Pleas and Marine Court, all of whicd were onthe table The Convention adjourned for o ek, ate late hour, without proceeding to bal Got jor a candidate to either of the offices. The Niath Ward Republican Association beld a and the financiers, stockjobbers and speculators of all parties will be among the first to take toundings and tack ship. Let ue see. Underlying all this hue and cry over “bleeding Kansas,” and ail the clamor against the aggreations of the ‘shave power” for several years past, the real busines of the Seward party has been a reckless game of lobby jobbiog, spoils, plunder, Western railroads, Western lands an town lots, and speculative adventures, and stockjobbing operations of all kinds. The House investigation of the Inst Congress disclosed, to some extent, the schedule of the spoils and plunder jobs of the Seward Congressional lebby gang at Washing ton. All told, these schemes of spoliation against the public lands and the public treasury covered # margin of not Jess than two hundred millions 324., closteg quite | will rally the eolid business classes of the coantry | of dollars. There were, also, many democratic politicians and speculators over head and cars in these stupendens lobby combinations; bat the financial managers of the Seward party were the leaders in the game. Nor can we estimate the extent of the land and railway speculations, baok inflations wid bavk suspensions resulting from the Kansas agitation and the stimulus thus given to Northern emigration Westward, not only to Kansas, but to every part of the North- west, from Illinois and Michigan, to Kansas, Ne- baaska and Minnesota. We cannot overlook our heavy exports of specie, our excessive importations of silks aud laces aud French bijowerie, and the continually increasing spread of crinoline and fashionable flammery which call so urgently for the widen- ing of Broadway; we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the combined resources of our Egyptian granaiies of the West, our world-clothing cotton fields of the South, and our inexhaustible gold fielés of Cali- fornia, have failed to meet the demands of our reckless extravagances. But the great primary cause of these excesses of vanity, fashion and folly, and of this searching financial revulsion, may be traced to those Northern and Western railroad and land and town lot speculations, in which the North and the West have been operat- ing upon a fictitious margin of hundreds of mil- lions of dollars. In the creation and inflation of these land, railroad and etockjobbing bubbles of all kinds we find the financial managers of the Seward ! coalition, from Wasbingten to Albany, and from Wall street to Kansas, in the foreground; and we shall find them in the end reduced to their proper level. Money is a more powerful argu- | ment than niggers; for that which touches the | pocket convinces alike the reformer, the philan- | thropist, the fanatic, the politician and the stock- jobber. “Where shall I go?” said Daniel Web- | ster, when left alone in Captain Tyler’s Cabinet. “Where shall we go?” will now be the cry of all sorts of deluded stockjobbing and speculating | politicians. “A national bank is an obsolete ides; we have no hope from pet banks or State bavks of any kind, in a party movement. The | republican party is powerless at this crisis—the Know Nothbings are done for. Where else can we look for relief or safety, but to the administra- tion, and its solvent and solid financial system? Thus, with this present financial revulsion, the seeds of a.great political revolution will be sown broadcast over the Jand, from the East to the Weert. The federal administration holds the balance of power; its financial system and its fivancial resources and solidity will thus exert a positive and universal influence in the recon- struction of our political parties, and in shaping the issues which will hereafter divide them. Io this view, the prospect for our November elec- tion aseumes a widely different aspect from that of tbree short weeks ago. “ Bleeding Kansas,” which was then in the foreground of the Seward move- ment, now falls into the background; and the argumentum ad hominem, or cash argument, now touches ihe pocket of every speculative and stockjobbing politician in the State. A remarkable feature of our late Syracuse State Convertions—democratic, Know Nothing and Seward republican—was the very remark- able coincidence in eentiment among them all, in reference to a searching reform in our- policy of legislation at Albany; but it is a still more remarkable fact that, with all these fine confessions and fair promises from democrats, Know Nothings and Seward republi- cans, they were all mavaged pretty much by the eame stockjobbing influences. Now, with this financial revulsion upon us, and with all this fic- titious system of speculative profits, paper divi- dends and imaginary mountaius of wealth fading with a puff of wind away, like the vision of cities, lakes, rivers and palm trees in the desert of Sa- bara, our political party finaociers wil! be brought to reason. Many of them will see tbat there is no | secure shelter now except under the protecting wings of the general goveroment And here the democracy have the vantage ground They | have the federal treasury system and the adminis | tration at theie backs, and they will have the next Congress, Accordingly, we should not be surprised short as is the interval to our November election, if | the democratic party were to carry the State | from stem to stern. Perbaps this impending re- | ection avainst the nigger agitation may be de- veloped to some extent even in the October elec- | tions of Obio and Pennsylvania, Let us wait and | see. Revolutions never go backwards; and this | finaccial collapse must inevitably bring in its | train all the elements and isuce of a great poli- tical revolution. It is the fiercest thunder storm | that most thoroughly purifies the air, Ovn Horer, System.—At a period when every | man must feel that the money which he spends ‘on personal luxuries is so much taken from the means of propping up hie mercantile credit, it | would be well to consider whether some com- bined movement cannot be made to effect a re- form in our habits of living. It is so much the custom for people, now-a-days, to live in hotels, and the opportunity of concerted action in this respect is thereby placed so immediately within our reach, that the inquiry at once euggests itself, why should not the movement begin in those establishments? Their prices are exorbitant, their tablee are loaded with trash, and the pockets and digestion of their inmates are taxed to a point for which there i# no justification. Hotel proprie- tors themselves are as much convinced of these facts as we are, but plead in their defence the ne- cessity of conforming to the extravagant taste of the times, This excuse is now, or if not now, very soon will be at an end. People will be com- pelled to retrench in every direction, and the hotel keepers will be the first to suffer from this necessity, if they have not sufficient prudence to anticipate it. Unless they mean to let ruin over- take them they will at once cut down their rents: restore their tables to the standard of health and common sense, and dispense with the palatial splendor of their accommodations. If they do thie, instead of being obliged to charge two or three dollars, they will be able to return to the old money-making rate of a dollara day. When we compare the fortunes made ander the old “ive and let live” principle with the frequent failures of our modern hotel keepers, there can be no question as to the benefits to be derived from the change. Pietnora tw tue Perio Treasvry.—It is stated that the eurplus revenue in the public treasury, in gold silver and other values, amounts at the present moment to nearly $20,000,000. We seo that some of the editors of the provincial journals are puzz!ing their brains as to what will be done by Congress with this to them almost fabulous amount. They need give themselves no unnecessary trouble on the subject. The surplus growing out of the expansion of foreign imports will, we promise them, be ao cut up and diminished by the contraction consequent upon our preeent NEW YORK HERALD. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBEX 29. 1851. we ehould not be all suprised if, in the course of the next twelve months, the government, ins ead of having a sur- plus, should be obliged to have recourse to aloaa to make up fora deficiency. These theoretical pewepaper financiers need, therefore, give them- selves no further concern about the treasury plethera. In these critical times they will em- ploy themselves more profitably in taking care of eny little surplus that they may chance to have of their own. Erreots oF THE Revutsion on LireraTuRE.— One of the most obvious effects of the present finencial revulsion will be the ruin of one-half the present literary enterprises. Literature is ove of the first luxuries with which hard times teach people to dispense; the moment men cannot pay their way they cut off the weekly paper, the monthly magazine, ard the occasional novel, not only because they cannot afford them, but because in revulsionary times the daily papers contain far more thrilling and interesting matter in the shape of- news than the most fertile novel- ist ever invented. We may look, therefore, in the natural course of this revulsion, for a serious decline in all our existing literary periodicals. The Weekly Tri- bune, for instance, which is supposed to have Jost this year one-third of its entire subscription list, will probably lose the other two-thirds before another year is past. Harper's Weekly will be likely to lose half its subscribers, and Harper's Magazine cannot expect to fare any bet- ter. As for our neighbor—the New York Ledger —we give that paper six months to die out alto- gether; perhaps with careful management the proprietor may protract the agony to twelve months; but it cannot last longer. B+fore 1837 we had plenty of literary periodi. cals with extravagant circulation, and apparently excellent prospects. They all died off, however, somehow, in the crisis; and their successors of to-day will share the same fate. THE LATEST NEWS.
