The Mews, The money panic is the topic of the day, and we devote a large portion of our space to the subject. There was a flurry yesterday with regard to the Park Bank, and at one time quite a run upon it. The bank, however, stood its ground, and came off without damage. The Bowery Bank, late in the afternoon, stopped payment, and was in conie- quence suspended from the Clearing House. We understand that as, in common with the other banks of this city, the bills are secured by stocks of the State of New York, they will hereafter be received ‘ss usual by all the city banks at par. The Central Bank of Brooklyn has stopped, and its affairs are in the hands of a receiver. The meeting of bank offi- cers held yesterday at the Merchants’ Bank, re- sulted, we are informed, in little else than the adop- tion ofa resolution to the effect that they will afford the merchants all the relief in their power. This, in reality, cannot be said to amount to much ina time lilse the present. The table annexed gives the movements of bread- stufts yesterday at the various points indicated:. Raorirrs Flour, bbls. Wheat, bush. Corn, bush ‘6,008 b4,009 ‘18,000 350 8,000 106,000 4,100 48,000 27,000 7'500 6,000 none. 36,000 + none. none. 11,000 At Detroit,on Thursday, the receipts amounted to 2,200 barrels fiour and 10,000 bushels wheat. Produce is rapidly accumulating at all the lake ports. The telegraphic reports of the election in Kansas, which we publish this morning, are of a character to please all parties. One authority reports that the democrats have carried the Legislatare by a small majority, while another gives the election to the republicans by a large vote. All accounts, however, agree that the contest was carried on without vio- ence, and there is some satisfaction in that. The European mails to the 26th ult., brought by the steamer Niagara, reached this city yesterday afternoon. We do not find in our files of papers | anything of special importance that was not em- braced in our telegraphic summary of the news sent from Halifax, except the weekly statement of the condition of the Bank of England, and the details of the trial of the parties implicated in the frauds on the Northern railroad of France, both of which may be found under their appropriate head in today’s | paper. The Metropolitan Police Commissioners met yes- terday afternoon and transacted considerable routine business. A mandamus was received forthe pay- ment to Samuel C. Jolly for 4,000 glass ballot boxes, at $15 each—amounting in all to $60,000. It was laid over. A resolution was adopted reinstating each members of the municipal police force as had not been legally dismissed. A resolution to fill vacancies by members of the municipal police was laid over. Several policemen who had been sus- pended were reinstated. The sum of $2,000 each was voted the families of policemen Jarbo, Sparks and Anderson, who were killed in the discharge of their duty. For several days past, owing to the non-payment of wages due, there have been apprehensions of a disturbance among the workmen at the Erie Rail- road tunnel at Bergen cut. Yesterday the laborers, to number of ten or twelve hundred, assembled, evidently with the intention of making a hostile de- moustration, but, after detaining one or two trains fora short time, through the intercession of the Catholic clergy man and the Sheriffof Hudson county, and the presence of a force of military, which had been ordered out, the mob was redaced to quietness, Our Washington despatch states that the Walker filibusters are actively recruiting at the South, and that already several hundred have gathered at New Orieans. Late accounts from Texas state that the sloop Elizabeth cleared at Galveston on the 29th olt., for Tehuantepec, with a number of “aiven- turous Texans on board.” It is said that the United States officers at the South sympathise with the Alibasters, and the latter, therefore, apprehend no difficulty in carrying out their plans. Our Santiago de Chile correspondent gives us an interesting account of the trial of the Southern railroad in Chile, and a view of the extent and cost It will be seen that most of them being built under English auspices and with English capital, the South Americans have taken proportionately “a longer and a #tronger’’ pull at Joan Bull's purse than our railway men have. The chemical works of John Eastwood and the grist mill of Josiah Rhodes, at Belleville, N. J., were totally destroyed by freon Thursday morning inst. The entire loss is estimated at from ten to fifteen thousan@ dollars—insurance fifteen hundred only. James Gaynor, a native of Ireland, aged forty years, committed suicide by hanging himself to a bedpost at No. 153 Washington street yesterday, He bad been somewhat deranged for some time post. The Excise Commissioners met yesterday, and after granting one license, adjourned till Monday at ove o'clock, when the counsel for the Liquor Deal- ere’ Association will be present and make known to the Board the opinions and designs of the Associa. tion, also the legal points of the suits they propose instituting against the Board. ‘The examination into the charge made by Nathan Levins against Israel Steinhardt of robbing him of £940 (nearly $5,000) in Engtish bank notes, was re- fumed yesterday morning before the Recorder at his office. The evidence adduced changed the aspect Of the case materially, for it seems that Levins and two other Jews, aided by a Tombs lawyer named Hcy ser, are charged with intimidating Steinhardt,and o“ering to let him go if he would give them half the money, which be did not do by the advice of coun- se|, who arrived at the seene of action while the Shylocks were demanding their “pounds” of flesh. Three respectable merchants testified that Stein- hardt exhibited the bills to them a few months ago. ‘The Recorder discharged Steinhardt from custody last evening, and ordered the money to be deposited in bank till the investigation is concluded. It seems that Messrs. Steinhardt and Levins have bean pretty extensive brokers in Europe, and they confeas that they were compelled to leave. On arriving here one ‘tries to rob the other. ‘The trial of John Fellinger, an aged German, @ lockemith, charged with burglary in the first de- gree, under aggravating cimpumstances, in breaking into the dwelling house of Simon Reinhardt, 228 avenue A, on the 24th of August, was resamed yes- terday in the Court of Sessions, and through the tediousness of counsel occupied the whole of the day. The evidence against the accused was succinct and conclusive, the complainant and his wife and another man positively identifying him as the per. son who was fcund in their bedroom and who stabbed them. After deliberating for a few mo ments the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. The Recorder in passing sentence said that he had evi. dence before him that the prisoner had served a long term of imprisonment in Germany for crimes of a cimilar character; that he wasa notorious bur- glar; that he had nearly committed two murders, and that it was his imperative duty to prevent such men from being at large. He sentenced Fellinger to imprisonment in the State prison at hard labor for the term of his natural life. Fellinger wept bitterly, and protested that he was innocent, as he was removed from the bar. Wm. Callaghan, 45 years old, pleaded guilty to bigamy. His first wife is 27 years old and the second 65. Remanded for sentence. Frederick Hagamure was aoquitted of a felonious assault upon Mary Ann Smith, residing at 231 Nineteenth street, on the 2d of September. The Recorder observed that it was the most remark- able verdict he ever heard, as the evidence seemed to be very clear against the accused. Tre cotton market was quiet, and no sales of moment were reported. mal! sbipments were made for Liverpool on owner’s account. Tne markets in nearly every branch of trade presented a remarkable condition. There seemed to be & want of animation and aotivity in nearly every desoription of trade, snd a wide margin established be tween rales for cash and on time. In flour, however, owing to the tomporery Interruption to canal navigation, by a bresk, the receipts were light and stock Iimited—in consequence of which prices of State and Werterc brands were firmer, with « fatr amount of sales. All except prime to choice lets of wheat were doll aud heavy. The sates were confined to small parcels of Southern white at $190 @ $l 95, and red do. at $1 20 9 $1 22 No ea'es cf Western of moment were reported. Tne supply of corn was light, and enios limited at 676. & 690, delivered, for Wostern mixed. Pork was easior, with mall gales of mess at $28.0 $23 50, closing at tho inside figure, Sales cf sugars were confined to 300 hogsheads, 260 of wbich were made in bond for exporta- tton—private terms. Shippers were waiting for the re- ceipt of the Niagara’s private letiers before doing much, and engegements were light. It was soppozed that the first tow with capal receipts, sinoe the repair of the break, would reach here by neat Monday mornirg a} farthest. What will be the Effect of the Kevulsion Abroad ? As day after day passes in the terrible financial agony we can see the country thrill from end to end. Bank failures succeed each other slowly but reguimy in the North and East. In the West theré has been so little money, and so much ‘business has been done on credit, that the revul- sion is likely to be more severely felt there than anywhere else; though hitherto none but the pre- monitory symptoms of it have been noticed. The city banks of New York and Boston still hold out, and the managers say—whatever they think —that they will weather the crisis. We hope some of them may. As tothe merchants, after the failures of this week no catastrophe could be re- garded as surprising. Failure has now become the rule and solvency the exception. Such are the melancholy fruits of six weeks’ revulsion in this country. Even if the evil were to be cured to-morrow, and confidence restored, business has received a check which it will take years to get over. But if such are the products of the revulsion here, what will they be abroad? What effect will it produce in England and France ? This question naturally directs attention to the great seats of manufacturing industry—Manches- ter, Paris, Birmingham, Lyons. To these towns we owe millions of dollars which we cannot pay. To add that our creditors must fail if they have not inordinate reserve means of their own to sus- tain them, is superfluous. But we must go be- yond this. Far more terrible in its results on the condition and prospects of Eagland and France than the suspension of paymenta by the manufac- tarers of Manchester and Lyons would be the stoppage of the mills for want of cotton. That would produce an absolute revolution; and what- ever happens, the Europeans will not risk that. The first consequence of the news will there- fore be a dreadful terror in England lest they thould ron short of cotton. And as they will be notified, simultaneously with the-news of our troubles, that produce is not being moved for want of specie to move it, we may assume as a matter of couree that specie will at once begin to come over from England. Our merchants talk confidently of an arrival of ten millions of gold from Europe wilhin a couple of months, with which to send forward the produce they cannot dispenee with. Where is this epecie tocome from? England at latcet accounts was seriously embarraseed. For twelve to fifteen monthe—we might almost say, ever since the close of the Russian war—the English money market bas been in a etate of per- manent stringency, and the demand for capital considerably in excess of the supply. Quite re- cently the Indian mutinies have involved a new and enormous outlay. That Indian rebellion must be put down with money sent from England— should it cost five hundred millions only, it would becheaply done. Then, turning to France, we find the Crédit Mobilier, which has overshadow- ed every other financial enterprise ia the country for so long, at length breaking wp and slowly tending to ruin and dissolution. SMe by side with this, the railroads of France which have been interwoven with and sustained by the cre- dit, are falling into precisely the same state as our railroads here; many of them must bresk before many months elapse. Now the question is, what effect will a sudden drain of specie from these countries to the United States have upon them?—for it must be well re- membered that the specie will come, whatever it costs. England end France caa dispenre with tolid merchants, but not with American produde- There is not a question but the effect of such a drain would be severe. It may seriously embar- rass the operations of the government of Eng- land for the quelling of the mutiny. Ht may Precipitate the fall of the Crédit Mobilier. It can- hot but aggravate the already insecure poeition of the Bank of France. But it may lead to far greater consequences than these, We have already noticed how the revulsion here has bad the singular effect of breaking up and destroying the anti-tlavery factions, the cla- mor between North and South, and the noise of the trading philanthropists. A simtlar revulsion in Europe might produce political effects of a far more disastrous character. They need not be speculated upon at length; suffice it to eay, that a crisis which should close the mills aad ruin the merchants might very naturally lead to the over- throw of @ dynasty in France or of a ministry ta England. Tus Panic amMoNG THE NewsPareRs AND Postiseme Hovses.—When the first eymptoms of the present crisis began to manifest themselves an outcry was raised against the press as being the authors of an unnecessary panic. The rapid progress of the epidemic, however, soon showed that its origin was deep eeated, and that the newspapers merely reflected the actual features of the malady. A little sober thought at the outset would have shown that this clamor against the alleged alarm- ist tendencies of the press was a senseless one. What interest have the newspapers to depreciate the property of commercial men or to paralyze the operations of trade? With the prosperity of both the welfare of the press is, as a general rule, inseparably allied, and what injures the one, must, to & greater or leseer extent, injure the other. In 1837 the disasters that swept away so many commercial houses carried in their train a hoat of flash newspapers aud periodicals, which had thriven upon the artificial stimulus applied to them by the prevailing extravagance of @e times. These papers were a luxury, @mér| not a necessity; and when the period for retrenchment arrived they were com- pelled to obey the inexorable law which regulates the demand and supply in such matters, With these superfluities went out of existence a number of publishing houses, whose books coming within the same category of un- necessary indulgences, were among the first to be lopped off. The same phases seem to mark the present crisis, Literature aud journalism are both affect- ed to pearly as great an extent as any of the leading branches of commercial business, The paper makers were amongst the first to fail, and now some of our great publishing houses are fol- lowing in their wake. Where the latter have tot been compelled to suspend payment, as in the case of the Harpers, they are obliged to’ relieve the pressure upon them by stopping the further progress of their literary undertakings. The Appletons, for instance, who had a large force of writers engaged upon their Encyclopedia, have dismissed the greater portion of them, although the work is not half complete. When houses of this character are reduced to such necessities, the condition of establishments of in- ferior resources must be bad indeed. It is in the nature of things that most of theee latter con. ceras should fall, for as three-fourths of the books published are neither instructive nor useful, they will have to incur the fate of other superfluous Tuxuries. As in 1837, thege disasters amongst the paper makers and the publishing trade generally wili be followed by the disappearance of a host of weekly newspapers and other ephemeral journals, which have no vitality beyond the passing caprices of the public. To these the New York Ledger will probably be an exception, from the energetic business habits of its proprietor and the peculiarity of its circulation. The daily papers which have been conducted on anything like sound business principles, and which have been kept free from connection with stock gambling and building speculations, will scarcely feel the pressure. Some of them whose proprietors have been bitten by this mania, have, we understand, been compelled to retrench their legitimate business expenses in consequence. The Daily Times, for example, is not only cutting down its salaries, but reducing the number of its editors and employ¢és. Had its proprietors kept out of Wall street they might have avoided this most painful and repugnant necessity. The Henan, by confining itself to its legitimate province, and pursuing a straight- forward business course, has always been able to steer clear of such shifta, The errors which its proprietor may have committed in the couree of a long and arduous career, have never yet caused embarrassment or distress to its employds. The truth is that it is as much to the cound business system on which it is carried on, as to its literary talent, that the Henanp owes its present unex- ampled prosperity. Do our speculative cotem- poraries desire to know the principle on which that system is based? It is that a man should undertake no more thar his resources will enable him to accomplish. Ay Hoxest Conression As PAR AS It Goxs— Where is Tue Remepy?—The Albany Zvening Journal, the central organ of Thurlow Weed, Seward and Company, in @ late editorial on the crisis, says that “we have been dealing too extensively in high priced railroads.’ This is the truth, but not all the truth, in regard to the stockjobbing, lobbyjobbing and kite-flying speculations of such comprehensive political financiers as Weed, Matteson and a host of others, of all parties, of the same financial school, They have been dealing too largely in their lobby jobs, both at Washington and Albany—too largely in patent monopolies, in railroad land bills, in various schemes of moonshine internal improve- ments, in Western prairies, in lithograph Western city and town lots, in Kansas emigrations, specu- lations, and Kansas bleedings of all sorts; too largely in niggers, too largely in rotten banks, and too largely with the spoils and plunder mana- gers of party conventions and party legislative majorities. Now all these bubbles are bursting, and the worst of it is that the honest and unof- fending industrial classes of the country feel the shock most heavily, which is always the case, But is it likely that the developements, the dread- fal consequences, the misery and the ruin which the excesses of speculators, stockjobbers, lobby- jobbers, bam"; ‘Arends, and the follies of fashion, are bringing upod the whole American people, will be overlooked 904 forgotten this time? No. From this dark day benceforward, until there shall be some permanent a2 secure system for the regulation of our currency and our commerce, this important subject will be the paramount question in every section of the Union, and among all classes of the people. The nig- ger agitation must give way to the superior issues of safe currency, sound credits, and a solid and permanent basis of security upon which all the varied Gaaacial, commercial and business inte- reets of the country may repose, ‘The Legislature of Pennsylvania, in a «mall way, is endeavoring to provide a temporary alle- viation for the financial disorders which now so seriously afflict the people of that State, with the restofus, Butno palliative in the shape of bread and milk poultices will reach the seat of the dieeaze. Congress alone can reach it; andia thie view, we look to the administration and to the next Congress for the practical agitation of more important issues than nigger abstractions or spoils and plunder. Let our worthy Presi- dent prepare his programme; the country will look to him for the initiation of the leading mea- eures of positive relief; and the experivnoe of the past will readily suggest to the cool, clear head of Mr. Buchanan the present and future policy of his administration. Niggers for several years to come will be but a secondary issue; and questions of finance, currency and commerce] THE LATEST NEWS. will be paramount. Such are the signs and the developements of the day. Oor Frvanctat, EMBARRASSMENTS AND OUR AmusEMENTS.—The theatres have not as yet felt the pinch of our monetary embarrassments, but they cannot hope to cacape it, To judge from the sppearance which they nightly present, one would imagine that money was till circulating freely amongst us. The Opera, which has been the only theatre to suffer, has beenagain crowded for the last few nights; but this is only a spasmo- dic and deceptive symptom. The falling off in the receipts last week were an unmistakable evi- dence of the prospects of the undertaking in the critical circumstances in which the community are placed. The revival of the last few nights was only such as usually marks the close of a season. The production of “Don Giovanni” was alco an attractive item to be taken into the account, The Opera will be a dead failure this winter, ge steps be taken by thoce immediately in- ested toredeem it from the stigma. When ablichments of all kinds are reducing their personnaj and their expenses, the Opera cannot exist as an exception to the rule. If the artists engoged feel any interest in the speculation, and are averre to seeing it come to an abrupt termi- nation, they will, like the Messrs. Chickering’s sagacious workmen, come forward to the relief of the management. As a half loaf is better than no bread, those who have made high terms with the directors in the anticipation of an upueually proaperous season, had better at once offer to reduce their pretensions by one-half, or at least one-third. This is the only way in which the Opera can be carried safely over to the epring, or which offers a chance to the artists engaged to obtain any portion of the salaries contracted for. Tn the same spirit we would recommend the first class performers at the other theatres to au- ticipate the pinch that must soon make itself felt in those establishments, and to make such ar- rapg¢ments with the managers as will relieve the latter from the distressing necessity of closing them altogether. This will be not only generous but just, and will in the end prove the ouly wise policy for all concerned. Opera singers and theatrical stars would do well to recollect that it is their eagerness to engross all the profits of their own performances which gives occasion to such frequent breaches of faith oa the part of managers. Tue Panic anp THE PreacuEeRs.—We presume that on to-morrow the sensation preachers will take up the popular topic of the day, and will edify their hearers with some new ideas as to the present financial revulsion. As a general thing, all these holy men manage when they take up a question of public interest, disconnected with the clergy, to misstate the facts in the first place, to make the wildest and most absurd deductions in the second place, and finally to suggest reme- dies which are worse than the disease. We would suggest to them geome points upon which they may enlarge. Let brother Beecher leave bleeding Kansas to Governor Walker, and attend to bleeding Wall street. Let him explain how his confreres of the Independent tumbled through. Let him or brother Cheever tell us how several pious houses, like that of Bowen & McNamee, happen to go to the wall. If preaching and praying are of any value, they have had enough of it,and of the good old orthodox Calvinistic Puritan Congregational fire and brimstone school, too. And finally, as all these pillars of the churches have been foremost in good works, let the churches now help them, out of their abun- dance. Let the pulpit euggest that Wall street be relieved by bleeding the Bible Society and Missionary funds. We want the money for our own heathens, who will soon be without a shirt to their backs, and thereby be in a much worse con- dition than the South Sea heathens, who consi- der the wearing of shirts an uncomfortable sacrifice to social prejudices. Then, as all theee preachers have been more or less mixed up with politics, let them recommend that the Irish Slieve- gammon Fund, the Hungarian Fund and the Kansas Fand be dug up and appropriated to the relief of Wall street. All this money would be very valuable in Wall street just now—worth three per cent per month, with collateral secu- rity. Whore is it? Let us have it out. A Srrexpip Cuance vor A New Lyvestuent. —Out of regard for the numerous eufferers who have gone their depth in the fancy railway secu- tities and other bubbles of the day, we call at- tention to an advertisement which will be found in our columns this morning, headed “Gold Mines, Iron Works and Negroes for Sale.” Here is a sale under mortgage of the property of the “High Shoals (Gaston county, North Carolina) Manufacturing Com- pany,” embracing fifteen thousand acres of land, gold mines, beds of iron ore, and sixteen negroes, “all but one fellows and mechanics.” We hope the quondam bulls in Wall street will not let this opportunity slip to obtain some salve for their fingers burned in the fire of their late operations. Some of those black re- publican philosophers who have been into every- thing and have been bitten every time, who have eunk no end of money in Kansas funds, Central Railroad stock, lobby speculations at Albany and Washington, and fancy stock gambling of all forts, can now have an opportunity to retrieve their fallen fortunes by an investment in some real solid property, over which the Brokers’ Board has vo control. Think of it, geatlemen. Land, gold mines, iron ore, water power and {if- teen stout likely niggers—all mechanics, and each worth at loast S{teen hundred dollars, with a good margin for a rise! Niggers Ste slways above par. The Worcester philosopher and pbi- | lanthropist, Eli Thayer, ought also to look into this matter. Here is a better chance for him to inves! his money than in the waste lands of the Virginia frst families. Let Mr. Thayer and the gored bulls joi fogether, buy the land, the gold mines, the iron ore and the niggers—don’t forget the niggers—take some of the Kansas funds to set the thing going, eend out some broken down stump orators to work the mines, and they may make money enough to get them off the shoals, where they have been bigh and dry for some time.

FILIBUSTSE MOVEMENTS AT THE SOUTA—THE WORE OF THE PENSION OFFICE, BTO. ‘Wassrxcros, Oot. 9, 1857, Private letters received here to day from the South, by persons who sympathise wiih Walker’s fllibusicring movements, stale the rosruiting business is progressing finely.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR PROCURING NEWS FROM THE BUROPBAN STEAMERS. Im Consequence of the temporary failure of the Atlante telegraph cabie, we, in conjunction with our associates of the New York Associated Press, have decided to employ, substantial news yacht a} Newfoundiand, for the par- pose of boarding, off Cape Raoo, all the sieamers from Liverpool, Southampton, Havre, Bromen, Glasgow, &0., &c., and in this enterprise—so important to the whole pub- lio of the United States and British American Proviness— we hope to receive the hearty co-operation of all the owners and commanders of the sevora! steamship lines now established. If the press should be seconded in this arrange- ment by the commanders of the steamers, there is mo reason to doubt but that we shall be abie to obtaim the news froma large majority of the steamers passing within ten or fifteen miles of Cape Race, and by availing ourselves of the New York and Newfoundland Telegraph Line, whioh is kept in admirable order, we shall be able to sproad the European news before cur readers in about six or eight days from the time it loaves the Engitet shores. The news yacht—a substantial, well manned schooner of sbout 100 tons—will be stailoned ten miles duc south eof the Cape Race light, and will carry a red flag, with a black ball in tts centre, Atnight the yacht will display two bold lights, and at short iatervals will send up rockets. Should the yacht, from any temporary cause, be removed from her regular station, as above, commander: are never- theloss requested to throw over the news parcel as near ag Pots'bie at the point indicated, in the hope that the same may be subsequently picked up in season to maxe the ta” tolligence valuable to us. ‘This arransement will involve very heavy expenditures: bat (he Associated Press cheerfully assume the burdes, not doubting but that the public will properly appreciate sbelr efforts afd sacrifices to promote the interests of the commercial public and the pleasure of the genera! reader. {he Upera at the Academy—Close of the Sea= | , | oa September, when M’llo Frezzolint made her United States as Amina in the‘ Sonnambula,”’ which she sang twice.

Mme. de La Grange has also sung in the “Barber” twioo, in ‘‘Eraant,’” (ho “Paritani,’”’ and “Don Giovanni.” M’lle Vestvall has sung in “Lucrozia Borgia,” “Ernani” (Oarlo V.), and the “Trovatore.”’ Signor Brignoli made his appearance here om the 26th, and sang in the “Trovatore”’ and “‘Luoresia.”* Amodio sang in the “Trovatore,”” Signor Gassier, one of the vory bost artiste we have ever had hers, has made = deep impression on the public, im the “Barber,” ‘Dem “Giovanni,” &c.,&0.
