But the effect | of the difficulties in our money market was felt to some extent, in the manufacturing districts especial- ly. The London papers make bat little comment on | the American crisis. We give a few extracts else- where. By this arrival we have a fortnight’s later news ! from India. The dates are:—-Delhi 12th, Cawn- | pore 13th, Calcutta 234, Madras 29th and Bombay | Olst of August. The accounts are gloomy for Eng- land. The position of affairs in the Bengal Presi- | Geacy had not improved, while there had been more mutiniesin Bombay, and symptoms of revolt had appeared in Madras. The Queen has promoted Colonel Havelock to the rank of Mejor General, and ma‘e him a Knight Companion of the Bath. An ill feeling is beginning to prevail in England that while her soldiers are risking their lives in India ministers ere junketing in the country, with no governmect sitting, and the Queen far away in the Higbiands. The speedy assembling of Parliament is loudy called for, and it was said that the ministry were taking the matter into consideration. The great event of the day in Europe is the meet- Sng of coe Emperors Louis Napoieon and Alexander at Stuttgardt, the capital of Wurtemberg. Several other potentates were also present, among them the Empress of Rassia and the Queen of Greeve. The effect that this convocation will have upon the aSiairs of the world will be developed in due time. In otker respects the intelligence trom the European Coatinect is not of moch importance. The American shipmasters in London had contri- buted £40 to the family of Capt. Rogers, who was recently bung in Liverpool for causing the death of ove of his seamen, at the same time assuring his widow of their conviction that be did net commit moarder We understand that Mr. Edward M. Archibald, Late Attorney General of Newfoandland, but for a saort tume past residing in Brooklyn, has received from Lord Clarendon the appointment of British Consnl at this port, and that he will immediately enter upon the discharge of the duties of the office. The Board of Supervisors were a Jong time in ses- pion yesterday, the principal business being the pay ment of various bilis. Sirenuons opposition was mage to some of them by Aldermen Tacker and Biont, aa being extravagant. In fact, the outside monelary pressure seems to begin to pinch the city suthorities in their official capacity, aud the claims of contractors are closely scrutinized. ‘The Board of Aldermen transacted no business of Importance last evening beyond the ordinary rontine matters of reference. ‘The session of the Board of Councilmen was occu- pied last evening ‘n confirming the names of the canvassers and inspectors for the ensuing election, recommended by the Special Committee. Some of the wards were laid over till the next meeting, when ail the candidates will be appointed. Mr. Warner presented an ordinance to compel bakers to sell Dread by weight, which was laid over, and that is probably the last we shall hear of it. The Police Commisssoners met yesterday, and transacted some unimportant business. Mesars. Wood, Bowen and Stranaban were appointed the Special Committee to decide as to what policemen of the oid force had not been properly dismiased. ‘The Committee on Police of the Board of Coun cilmen met yesterday in the chamber of the Board to examine the doctor's bills for services rendered at tae station houses daring several months past. The committee decided, owing to the stringency in the money market, to report in favor of not deducting ‘More than half of the amount of the bills. A petition was filed in the Surrogate's Court yes- torday to admit to probate the will of the late Seth Groavener. The testator died on the 4th inst. Two millions of dollars are disposed of in his will, 9200,000 of which are devised to charitable purposes. ‘The petition is returnable on the 30th of November.

The Mexican continued to hold out against the government forces: and it was reported that Alvarez had been assassi nated. The town was rife with rumors of commercial failures yesterday, most of which were en‘irely without foundatioa. The Grocers’ Bank, however, stopped payment, and there was somewhat of a run on one or two of the savings institations, among them the Bowery Savings Bank. The depositors received their fands as fast as they could be counted out. This bank yesterday received $607,000 from the Secretary of the Treasury for re deemed government securities, and may there- fore be regarded as impregnable. The Pennsyi- vania House of Representatives yesterday, by a vote of thirty-four to fifty-six, defeated the Senate bill legalizing the suspension of specie payments by the banks. We are happy to learn that the statement that Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co. had discharged a number of hands was unfounded. Doubtless their employés will be equally satisfied to learn that they have no intention of discharging any of them. The following are the movements of produce for the twenty-four hours ending at noon yesterday: — ‘mPTs Obicago ‘The banks, we understand, have determined to afford some facilities for bringing produces to the seaboard before the close of canal navigation. During a dense fog which enveloped the bay and rivers yesterday about dusk the steamer Empire State, of the Fall River line, which left at five o'clock with a large number of passengers, includ- ing one hundred and fifty laaies, bound for Boston, struck a rock near Blackwell's Island and sprang a leak. She was headed for the New York shore, and onthe way struck a sloop, The passengers were all landed in the clothing in which they stood, but the baggage and freight remained with the steamer, the cabin floor of which was under water. About the same time the Staten Island ferry boats Hunch- back and Southfield came in collision near Bedloe’s Island, and both vessels were cut down to the water's edge. Fortunately no lives were lost. The American Mayoralty Convention organized last evening by the appointment of James W. Barker as chairman, and E. Meredith as secretary. After satisfactorily settling several disputes with referencs to contested seats, the Convention adjourned to the Sth of November, the chairman having power, at the request of twenty-two members, to call an earlier meeting. ‘The republicans held their primary elections last night to choose delegates to conventions for the nomination of such city, county and Legislative officers as are to be voted for this fall. The affair passed off quietly. The bone of contention among the republicans now is the propriety of fraternizing with the Americans on local nominations, and a very active canvass is going on to effect that object ‘The Chess Congress which has been in session in this city for a week past, lastevening adopted a itution organizing the “ American Chess Asso- on the plan of the Chess Association of Great Britain and Ireland. The next meeting of the Association will be held in Philadelphia. In the Marine Court yesterday, in a suit for ser- vices as clerk in the Street Commissioner's office, Judge Thompson held that the Governor of the State had no authority to appoint Mr. Conover, and that Mr. C. Devlin, the nominee of the Mayor and Commonalty, was de facto the Street Commissioner. Thus one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, one of the Judges of the Common Pleas and one of the Judges of the Marine Court have decided in favor of the legality of the appointment of Mr. Devlin made by the Mayor, &c , of the city, whilst another of the Judges of the Supreme Court has held that Mr. Co- nover is merely entitled to dhe possession of the ote Committee on Assessments of the Board of Councilmen met yesterday and heard the petitions of parties claiming a reduction of their assessments, The Committee on Sewers of the same Board met at the same time, and concurred with papers trom the Board of Aldermen, in favor of building sewers in Howard, Grand, Grove, Washington and Front streets. ‘There were mo sales of cotton of moment reported yes terday, and quotations were nominal. The shipments curing the week ending yesterday amounted to about 6,000 bales, leaving ® reduced stock In this market of only about 2,000 bales. Fiour was beavy, and deolined about 6 to 10 cents per barrel, with moderate sales to the local and Eastern trade. Wheat was steady for prime lote of Bouth- erp, while common grades of all kinds were heavy; choice Scuthern white sold at $156 and red at $122; red Oato a1 $1 10 and Chicago spring at $20. Corn was dull and lower, with sales of Western mixed at 660. a 660 Pork was held above the views of buyers, and small salos were made at $23 8 $23 0, while higher prises were asked.

Three parties in the field—do- mocratic, republican, Know Nothing. The de- mocrats have the inside track, the prestige of their victorics last fall, and the moral and politi- cal weight of the administration to back them, and ought to win an easy victory. 2. Ohio—Governor, State officers, Legislature; three parties. The republicans will probably carry the State with a reduced majority. 3. Indiana—Election of two members of Con- gress to fill vacancies. 4. Minnesota—Governor, State officers, three members of Congress, in anticipation of the ad- mission of the embryo State into the Union, and a Territorial delegate to do duty in Congress in the interval to the State admission. These elec- tions are all in the fog; and the political parties of Minnesota will hardly be crystalized fora year or two to come, especially with the new is- sucs of currency and ‘commerce that are now rising to the surface all over the Union. 5. Towa—Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Logislature, &.; in which State the re- publican majority of last fall will be difficult to overcome in the first succeeding fight, with all the pressure of the Kansas agita- tors just over the border. Bat whatever may be the results of any or of all these elections, they will be but temporary, 4s the financial revulsion will immediately ope- Tate to work out a thorough revolation from one ead of the country to the other, in the political parties and party platforms of the day. Henoe, all these October elections and their results may be regarded as of very little practical value in reference to the future, inasmuch as the nigger agitation and the little side iseues involved will be buried out of eight ° boven Of eight with the suows of the oom. ‘The Bews from India. By the Atlantic, which arrived morning, we have news from Calcutta to the 23d and Bombay to the 21st August, in the shape of telegraphic meseages from Trieste in advance of the overland mail. The news is very gloomy. ‘The most cheerful point in the landscape last mail—which was Gen. Havelock’s manceuvres— is now overhung with doubt and gloom. It seems that Gen. Havelock fell back, not in consequence of cholera, bat because he found the road to Lucknow barred by an army of 50,000 men; and that the fatigues of the marsh, and the cost of the engagements he had fought, had re- duced hia brave little army to 900 men, who were at Cawnpore worn out by fatigue. Luck- now, Agra and Delhi were in statu quo. There was a rumor that the Delhi garrison were pre- paring to evacuate the place, and there was a rumor that Gen. Wileon had completed his be- sieging lines, and would shortly direct a general ssrault. It was also eaid that Lucknow had fallen. But none of these stories are yet shown to be bared on reliable evidence. The London Times plainly avows that the dan- ger isnot for this or that strong place, but for the whole of British India, which may be wrested out of the hands of the Eaglish and every Englishman in {t killed before the menth of September ends and reinforcements arrive. In this remark it seems only to refer to Bengal; the news indicates that the two other Presidencies are equally menaced. In their muzzled condition, the Bombay papers canaot icll us the whole truth; we know, how- ever, that a contest is going on, or has been just brought to @ close between the government and mutineers. In Madras,a cavalry regiment has refused to obey orders and been disbanded. The general tenor of the advices from India for the past month and more has driven every unbiased person to the conclusion that the revolt would be universal, and that it would require the English to re-conquer the country. What efforts have been made by the Indian government and other injudicious friends of Eagland to convince the public that this was only a local mutiny, growing out of bullocks’ fat, have simply excited derision for their authors. It was very easy a month since to foresee the events which are re- corded elsewhere, and to describe them in ad- vance, Nothing surprising is happening. Of course it is impossible to say whether the garrisons at Lucknow, Agra, Cawnpore and the other fortscan hold out till relief comes. Ineome places it would appear likely that they may. At Agra, which is an uncommonly strong fort, they have plenty of provisions, and a good supply of ammunition; the 3d Europeans, who are in the fort, are a fine regiment, and are likely to be able to fight the guns against any quantity of Se- poys. At Lucknow, the proepect is less cheer- ing, as the number of European eoldiers there is very emall, and the fort is not under- stood to be unusually strong. But at Cawnpore, unless the native army should be overwhelmingly strong, there is still a hope that the gallant Havelock may be able to hold his own during the two months which must elapse before the troops sent from England can arrive. So, at Delhi; as the besieging army has held out #0 long, and so well, it may finish the campaign with equal safety. But we are bound to say that the general pic- ture presented by the aggregate news items is adverte to the eafety of any European garrison. The whole population of Bengal seem to be rous- ed. The Sepoys fight with desperation; animated by religious prejudice, and stimulated by a per- fect consciousness of the merciless character of the warfare they are waging, they seem reso- lutely bent on having the life of every European they can catch. And it is dreadfal to think that they really have the power—such are their num- bers, and euch the effect of the discipline the English have taught them—-of putting every European in Bengal to death before Sir Colin Campbell’s troops arrive. This, too, be it re- membered makes no allowance for Bombay and Madras. Take it all im all, we doubt whether in all her history England has ever known a more terrible month than this October of 1857 must be. Simul- taneously with the heart-rending accounts of the slaughter of their poor fellow countrymen, with their wives and children, in India, and of the utter destruction of British prestige throughout the country which was their proudest boast, the Eag- lish will learn that the debts due to them in America cannot be paid, and that we, instead of feeding their banks with gold, must draw gold from them to sustain ourselves, Mails from the Kast and mails from the West will arrive charged alike with disaster, misery, and ruin. No sooner shall they have recovered the blow of the loss of a city in Bengal, than a New York steamship will arrive with intelligence fatal to @ city in England. Each successive week will have its burthen of losses, sorrow, bloodshed. One such Gisaster as theee was enough for any country, however stout her heart and vast her resources: the two combined—the sweeping financial crisis in the United States superadded to the appalling catastrophe in British India—might overwhelm any nation. In these terrible times, it may keep up our own hearis to perceive that after all there are those who suffer even more than we. “Brienne Kansas.”"—Kansas has ceased to bleed. The other bleeding operations that are now going on here stopped the bleeding ef Kan- sae—just as when you knock one end into the barrel the cider ceases to ran through the at the other end. From all that we can instead of fire, and sword, and border rufiians, and blood and slaughter ruling the roast in the late Kansas Territorial election, it has been a model of law and order; and the funniest part of it is that nobody outside of Kansas appears to care a button about the resalt, one way or the other. Thus it is that a money pressure carries everything before it— banks, railroads, stockjobbers, Jeremy Diddlers, Kansas bleeders, nigger worshippers, nigger drivers, nigger agitators, nigger philanthropy, nigger freedom and all, For all practical pur- poses, the game of the Kansas politicians is wound up. Who will invest hie funds in bleed- ing Kansas with money at three per cent a month? Where is the Tribune fand? Recorper Swit ann THe Sickies Leer. Scrr.—In the Court of Sessions yesterday, Re- corder Smith gage his decision in the libel cace of Daniel E. Sickles against the editor of the Heraxp, on the motion to vacate a previous order made in the same matter by) the City Judge. That order was that the recognisance and com- plaint should be returned to the magistrate, so that the defendant might avail himself of his tight toa preliminary examination. Recorder Smith now sete aside that order, and thereby practically takes away a legal right. And this he does in the teeth of several of his own deci- sions aad of bis charge to the Graad Jury at the opening of the present term, to the effect that be would quash Bll indlotments that might be found in cases where the party bad note preliminary examination, Remarkable inconsistency! Srrenota or THE New Yor Banxs.—By the Bank Statement published this morning it will be seen that the anticipations indulged in as to the inability of the New York banks to maintain their posiiion prove wholly groundless, After the terrible week through which we have passed — a we k unprecedented in the annals of commer- cial suffering—they have actually gained specie, and remain etronger than before. There can be no greater proof than this of the eounduees of the system on which these banks are conducted, and of the benefits which it is conferring and will continue to confer on the community after the panic is over. It isthe position aseamed by the New York banks which constitutes cur chief element of eafety at the preeent moment. But for the stand that they have taken the pavic would spread through all classes, and the savings banks would in their turn experience the loss of confidence which the failure or suspension of the former must lead to. We have already seen in the re- sults of the foolish run which was commenced on two or three of the savings banks, how much they were strengthened by the position of the other banks, But cven without that support there never existed the slightest grounds for un- easiness on the part of the savings banks’ depo- a, we have repeatedly shown, there is-no scarcity of specie in the country which would justify the idea that we are suffering from a cur- rency pressure. On the contrary, money in its metallic form was never more abundaat amongst us. Since 1848 $500,000 000 of gold from Cali- fornia, and $500,000,000 from Australia have been added to the specie of the world. Of this amount, at least $200,000,000 are circulating amongst us. It msy not be found where it is wanted most, as is seen in the present anomalous etate of things, but its presence amongst us is not the lees certain and ascertainable. Wherefore, then, should there be a run for spe- cie on the savings banks or other institutions of undoubted strength? Those institations are con- ducted on principles which offer the fallest gua- rantees of security to the depositors, and any proceedings that may embarrass their operations will only be productive of injury to the working classes. When it is recollected that besides the epecie in their vaults these institutions make a large proportion of their investments in national stocks, which are convertible at almost any mo- ment, it will be eeen that they can experience no difficulty in meeting all the demands that may be made upon them. Within a period of two days the New York savings banks have it in their power to convert into specie government secu- tities to the amount of $5,000,000, a sum amply sufficient, with their other resources, to enable them to surmount any pressure to which they might be subjected. It is unnecessary for us to say to depositors under these circumstances how foolish and injurious it is to their own inte. rests to exhibit at the present moment any want of confidence in these institutions. By withdraw- ing their money from them they will only lose the interest upon their little capital, and run the risk of being robbed of it in the bargain. Tae Powrrciuanxs Overstavenep.—In the midst of this terrible crisis, the efforts of our po- litical party managers to raise the steam are absolutely ridiculous. The Know Nothings and the black republicans call their meetings here and there; but they present a most “beggarly account of empty boxes,” for the people have other fish to fry. The democrats do a little bet- ter, for they have the spoils of the Custom House and the city treasury to pull at. But as for the “time honored principles of the democracy,” and all such clap-trap preaching, it is just now about as seasonable as a strawberry picnic on Coney Island. However, upon the practical issues which have reduced this metropolis to an Albany provisional government the democracy will doubtless on election day sweep the city, and we should not be surprised were they to carry the State. The managing stockjobbers of our political parties are beginning to look with longing§eyes upon the administration, the Sab- Treasury and the spoils of Congress as the last resort, and the people are satisfied with Mr. Bu- chavan, A margin of a month or two more would make these facts perfectly transparent, and even as it is the inevitable political revolution before us may be inaugurated with our November elec- tion. When all Wall strect is turned inside out, and all the financial affairs of the country are turned upside down, it is only the tub that keeps ite bottom that will hold water. Reaction ov our Fivancta, EwsanrassMents Avroap—In another column will be found an article from the London Chronicle on the unpre- cedentedly rapid expansion of British commerce, as shown by the returns recently issued by the Board of Trade. From these returns it appears that for the eight months ending on the Ist of September last, the exportations had reached a total of £84,666,718—excceding by nearly seven millions the entire amount for any whole year anterior to 1853. In 1856 the eight months’ ex- ports were valued at £74,689,934, and in 1855 at £60,154,178, The gross expansion in the cight months’ commerce has therefore been about ten millions—the growth in two years exceeding twenty-four and a half millions Satisfactory as this statement may appear at first sight, as evidence of the growing prosperity of Great Britain, there is but too much reason to apprehend that the condition of things which it shows will only serve to render more disastrous the check that will be given to it when the extent of our own commercial embarrasements become fully known. The prosperity indicated by the above figures is, we believe, like our own, of a forced and arti- ficial character, and the question of ita soundness will eoon be tested by the effect of the news which last week's mails will bear to the other tide. The Chronicle, it will be soen, whilst it congratulates the country on the flourishing aspect of ite commercial affairs, speaks with a eort of prophetic foreboding of th? effects of the reaction of the excessive specula- tion in which the people of the United States bave indulged. When that article was written the impressions on which it was founded were derived simply from the failure of the Ohio Trust Company and one or two other concerns which were involved in its affairs, No oon- ception had then been formed of the wide spread and univereal character of the panic which has since been experienced in this country. ‘The reaction of all this upon the inflated and artificial condition of things existing in England, cannot fail to prove disastrous in the extreme. We see that in the last money article of ee Londen Time, the writer, in quoting the course of at New York on London at eixty days, at 108 per cent, takes comfort in the fact that after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest the present rate leaves no profit on the transmis sion of gold either way between the two countries What will be said when it is found that the ex- change has sunk to 98, and that a large portion of the Britieh capital invested in our railroads and other etocks has been irreteievably lost? With the drain of specie to this country which the low rate of exchange must lead to, the pressure of the expenditure caused by the Indian and Chinese wars, and the embarrassments created by the withdrawal from the market of such a large amount of American securities, we are afraid that the panic and euffering amongst the commercial community at the other side will be almost as intense as they are here, In England, however, as in the United States, the lesson that will be derived from these embarrassments cannot fail to prove beneficial. It will eerve to correct that tendency to unlimited confidence and expausion which leads periodically to these revulsione. THE LATEST NEWS. Whe Kansas Blection. Br.
