Yesterday was by far the bluest day that has been experienced in this city since the commencement of the present financial troubles. The disasvers that were announced in the morning papers created a fe- verish excitement among business men, which as sumed the form of a panic when it was ramor- ed that the Illinois Central Railroad Compa ny could not raise money enough to meet ite current obligations, and had made an assignment of ite effects. Then came romors that Erie Railroad paper had gone to protest, while the names of our most prominent and wealthy Dasiness men were mentioned as having failed or "Thos the day passed, every hour adding to the intensity of the excitement, ani the ——— houses: alarmed at the possible consequences of all these difficulties to themselves. The assignment of the Illinois Central Railroad proved to be true, and in the money articie ‘of this paper will be found the official statement of ‘the company, announcing this fact. The following ntlemen are the assignecs of this company, viz :— Scbuchardt, J. W. Alsop, L. L. Sturgis, Bs. Onenee, J. E. Pelee. The bonda of the com: y fell to 60 during the , and the stock to he It was deemed: incredible this railroad Samuel Osgood & Co., of 81 Nassau street, have two auctions a week, and make just about aa large sales and at as good prices as before the present financial difficulties, They deal in farniture, make sales for the Custom House, and for the United States Marshal. M. Doughty, of 79 Nassau street, thinks his sales of furniture, &c., bave fallen off one half since the panic, aud the sales that he does make are 30 per cent lower than formerly. Henry H. Leeds & Co., of 23 Nassau street, deal- ers in furniture, wines and all gorts of fancy articies, ee the largest establishment of ite class, do as much basiness, and at as aye prices, as they did before the panic.

Wilmerdings & Mount, corner of Broadway and Rector streets, have the largest dry goods auction store in the-city. For the last week they have en- tirely discontinued their sales, and will not probably resume them till there is a change in the money market. There are four or five other large auction houses of this same class, all of whom have “ shu! up shop” for the present. ‘There are five large grocery auction houses in the city. The proprietors of one of the largest of them informed us that the by these stores, during the months of daly, August and September, are at least two-thirds leas than they had ever been dar- ing the same months inthe past ten years. The sales are not only so much less, but the goods are sold at a considerably lower price. The sales of stocks and real estate will be found noticed in another part of the paper. THE BERGEN TUNNEL MEN’S RIOT AGAIN. HUDSON COUNTY, (N. J.) MILITARY ALL ORDERED OUT—THE MSN PAID OF F—SOMNES, INOLDE*TS, ACCIDENTS, ETO , RTC., BTC. ‘There seemed to pe no disposition on the part of the men empoyed om the Bergea tunnel to bide ther time for the money due (hem from the New York and Erie Railroad Company, and they were loud in threats that they ‘would destroy every particle of property belonging to the company, ‘money or no money.” H. B. Beaty, the ahe- riff, called upon Brig. Gen. Hatfeld, of the Hudson County Brigade, who re-or¢ ered the whole of bis brigade to turn out yesterday at 9 A. M. The brigade consists of the Highwood Guards, Capt. MoGee; National Guards, Ospt. Van Houten; Hudeon Rifles (German), Oapt. Bormtedt, and Hudson County Artiiery, with six large field pieces; also the Dea- geons, 8 German company, Capt. Hexamer. These oom- panies marched to the foot of Borgen bill, where they joad- ed with blank cartridges, and then marched to the Judson county jail, in the city of Hudson. When the companic: arrived on the bill they wore met by about 200 of the tun nel men, who shouted loudly in deSance of the military, Dut made no advances or intention to fight. When these ccmpanios arrived at ihe jail aboat 400 surrounded them, and after viewing the trooys fora few minotes, one of their number uttered a yell, whea the whole party departed bi and yelling at a great rate. At 11 o’olook the second div! from Jersy Olty arrived, with mosio and bapvers. This was sufficient osuse for the taunemwen to reassemble.

Perit, of the Seaifien's Bank, eesured our that all would be well with the savings banks, no matter what disaster might occur to the business community. These banks are too well secured for any finanzial calamity, however great, to affect tnem. It would be well if our wealthy citizens would show as much confidence in their banks as the poor people do in theirs. BFFECTS OF THE PANIC ON THE AUCTION STORES. ‘When all other business is paralyzed that of the aactionecr generally continues brisk. At the pre’ sent time some branches of the auction trade are as flourishing as they have ever been, while others are entirely suspended. Bangs & Co., of #5 Nassan street, dealers in fancy farnitore, &c., say their sales are depreciated one half, and those that they do make are at least 25 per ent lower than before the panic. “Mixed Western, per vasbel.

LOUISIANA. THR PINAXCIAL Calsi8 IN KEW ORLBANS. [From the New Orieam Delia, Ost 2.) Pestilences sometimes burst with mysterious om- nipresence upon nations without premonition and pass away, terrible riddies never to be solved. In a similar manner panics and crises not int come upon the financial world without any precur- sory symptoms, ana after a brief or protracted pa- roxysm, leave financiers and economists equally per- plexed to discover the true cause of their advent or eeenesanee. Such seems to be the character of the crisis which has just swept over eome of the . pal cities of the United States, causing many a lofty commerctal house to tumble, up factories, shaking banks to their foundations, col stocks and deranging exchanges. In the, face of peace in Europe and peace in America, abundant money, a plentiful grain crop and a prospect of a larger cot- ton crop that of the last year, the crisis came; Wall stseet was paralyzed; the kites of the kite- flyers were torn into shreds by the sudden tempest; Philadelphia, Boston and other cities felt the shock, and even here in New Orleans, where the financial basis is the solidest in the world, the money market has caught the contagion, and cotton itself has been for a moment But this shock to the cottop market is merely tem- porary. In fact, the crisis juestion is essentially superficial, and cannot affect deeply or permanently any interest so firmly based as that of cotton. The sudden squall which burst upon the Northern finan- cial community can cacvse no shipwreck of any sea- worthy vessel in the South. We may be brushed by the fringes of the storm; a littlespray may be da: in our faces; but we have no cause to fear that the black pall of disaster will envelope us, or that clouds will close in our horizon ali around. It is true, as our monetary article predicted, cot ton, withont settiing at any definite quotation, has ranged a little lower within the last day or two, on account of the almost dead lock to which the ex- cbaoge market has come. But if this be an evil, it is one which will surely work out its own compensa- tion. It will rid New Orleans of dependence upon Northern exchanges in effecting the sale of its eat staple ; it will bring the solid money from rare to fe Southern conn and will tend to at us in that direct rapport Euro} buyers br consumers which has been so loag Tesired, and yet so long baffled. In such ap event the English and continental demand for cot:on will be the governing standard of prices at New Orleans, aud hot capricious exc! or uncertain banking faci- litiex. The planter, therefore, and the planter’s fac- tor, have only to look forward with sanguine antici- pations of improved relations with the European cotton market. Cotton may waver a while ; buyers may have their hands tied a while ; but the equili- brium between Liverpool and New Orleans must at last Bae) money will pour in by millions to purchase the indispensal le staple, and cotton will reat on a foundation firmer than ever. A It is idle to think of a crisis so superficial and tran- sient in its nature, resulting from excessive intlation of business, reckless speculation in stocks, invest- ments in unproductive wild lands and town lots in imaginary cities in the West—a state of things much more likely to occur in a time of profound peace and general prosperity than any other—it idle to think of such a crisis as that materially or perma vently injuring a great intrest that rests oo such a basis, and is surrounded with such guarantees as that of cotton.

Some weeks since * fears were entertained that the nae in New York would extend to Canada, an i the same scenes of stringency, depreciation of pany and bankruptcy would be witnessed here os there. We then ventured to ex- reas the opinion that there was nothing In the Rnascial relations of Canada and the United States to involve us in the embarrassment of our neighbors —that our banks were sound to the core, and the most implicit confide nce placed in their stability at home and abroad—-that the stocks of our railway and other joint stock compaaies were all held abroad, and their fluctuations did not affect us—and taat though there had been some overtrading and un- wise speculation, yet that the business condition of the country generally was sound and healthful. So far these anticipations have been realized. While the strongest firms in New York, Boston And Phila- delpbia have had to succamb before the storm, not one failure of consequence has occurred in all Cana # long list of the banks of our neighbors Lot gh on npln Berar meh gO pr of Canada have had their i trouble has come. in the habit of replenishing their coffers by impor- tations of specie from New York. If taey could net pepe roduce drafts on that city, they sent on English exchange, sold it there for gold, and brought the gold on here by express. This sea- son there are no American buyers of produce in our market, and therefore few drafts in New York to par- chase. Hut more than this, from the convulsed of the New York money market, English exchange is in litte demand there, and only saleable at a great vacrifice. par valoe of London exchange ia New York is about 109; but it has gone down by yy until, at last, first rate bills have been sold at 100, and even at 98. To purchase gold in New York for importation to Canada, by the gale of Bag- lish exchange at such rates, we need hardly say, is a most expensive operation; and it is scarcely to be wondered at that our bankers have set all their wits ‘k, to throw the loss of such operations on hbore. Accordingly a strife has been car- ried on for some weeks among oor banks, to get the notes of sister tutions in their hands and — down on them for specie. Every dollar go goog ove the bank has been regarded as a trator 2 over to the enemy; and the weekly settling jay ‘S been looked forward to with exaltation or alarm, according to the prossect of paying or re- ceiving a specie balance.

HARD TIMES. Several of the manatacturing establishments in Newark, N. J., and vicinity, design re-commencing operations thia week, and wt!! employ @ large por- tion of their old hands. This is encouraging. E. F. Whittemore & Co., exchange and bil! bro kers, of Toronto, Canada, closed their doors on the ‘7th inst. It is understood that the firm is quite able to meet all its liabilities in full, and that its preseat temporary difficulties are chiefly occasioned hy the extraordinary pressure on its correspondents in the United Sta'es.
