Our advices are highly im- portant. The Arabia, City of Washington and Ful- ton had taken out the news of the suspension of the banks of New York, Boston and throughout the North, but the reports had not produced any serious * effect on the London money market, owing, in a great measure, to the reception of the news in Lon- don of the fall of Delhi. A number of failures are, however, reported, including the suspension of the Borough Bank of Liverpool. ‘The following are the names of some of the houses which had suspended:— Thorpton, Higgins & Co, Charies Smith & C .. Manchester, Manchester. Perth. A ship owner A manufacturer. . M. Fries (emcide aleo). Rorongh Rank, suspended John Haley & Co., suspended... Messrs. Jaffrey & Co., suspended Great St. Helens. J. 8. De Wolfe, suspended... Leadon. Gould & Davies, suspended. . London. Robert Morrow & Garbrett, suspended. . London. In London, on the evening of the 30th ultimo, consols closed firm at 897 and 89} for money, and 894 and 89) for the account. American stocks were unsettled, but there had been some operations in State securities. Cotton was dull in Liverpool at a Gecline of one penny per pound from the prices last reported. Flour was inactive. Sugar was very much depressed, and prices had declined from one shilling to one-and-sixpence a hundred weight. The news from India is highly interesting. It is dated at Madras 13th and Calcutta 25th of Septem- ber, and Bombay 3d of October. The bombardment of Delhi commenced on the 5th of September, The sity was stormed by the British troops on the lth, who entered by the Cashmere gate, and after a terri- ble struggle with the sepoy mutineers took the north- ern portion of it. On the 10th they captured the maga- zine and one hundred and twenty-five cannon, and, according to native authority, the English flag waved over the entire city on the 20th. The newly proclaimed King, with his two sons, fled, diguised in women's clothes. No quarter was given to the armed mutineers, but the women and children were #pared by the conquerors. It was said that the ex- pelled rebels had taken up a strong position about eight. miles from Delhi. Agra remained quiet. Lucknow still held out. The northeastern frontier was ina very disturbed state, and some new con- spiracies had been detected at different points. Our advices from China are dated at Shanghae Ist and Hong Kong 10th September. The blockade of the Canton river was strictly maintained, and a number of junks attempting to force it had been captured. The United States sloop-of-war Ports- mouth had left Shanghae for Japan. It was said that the Emperor of China approved of the course pursued by Commissioner Yeh at Canton; but it was boped the Envoys of England, France and the United States, when they arrived at Pekin, would induce bis Majesty to alter his ideas, althongh it was re- ported that he had determined not to receive either of them officially. We learn from France of the sudden death of Gen- eral Cavaignac, and of an intended reduction in the ermy. We publish the names of the new Cabinet Minis- ters of Spain, It was thought that Senor Mon would soon succeed Admiral Armero as premier. The Spaninh-Mexican difficulty was to be negotiated to- wards # settlement in Paris. The health of the King of Pruwia was much im proved, but he was not yet able to attend to the af fairs of State, and the Crown Prince had assumed the duties of the regency The Biamese Ambassadors had arrived at Ply mouth, England. A grand ball had been given by the officers of the frigate Niagara to the élite of the inhabitants of Ply mouth and its neighborhood. We learn that the Niagara was to have left Plymouth on the Sth instant, so that she may be expect ed at this port some time between the 15th snd 20th, The last mile of the cable was discharged on the morning of the 29th alt., but the arrange- ments for ite reception next spring have been left tontouched, so that she will be ready when she re- turns to England to commence taking it on board. In consequence of the additional length ordered for the next expedition the work of coiling will occupy bout six weeks altogether, and the telegraph fleet will begin the work from mid-ocean some time about the Ist of June next. Mr. Ten Broeck’s horses, Prioresa, Babylon and Belle, were badly beaten at Newmarket, in races for the Cambridgeshire stakes and a sweepstakes. Liverpool. london. We have news from Buenos Ayres to the 15th and Nontevideo to the 18th September, and from Rio Janeiro to the ist ult. Reports had been cirea- lated by the Rie papers of a mutiny of the crew of the frigate St. Lawrence, and that the Commodore had been obliged to call upon the French and Eng: lish vessels of war for assistance. These reports were entirely without foundation, and had their ori- gin in the fact that some half dozen of the crew of the ship had becn court martialed for offences of an unusually serious character. In Buenos Ayres the attempted enlistment of the sons of foreign residents continued to create much trouble and dissatisfaction. At Montevideo the elections were progressing, and bloody events were expected to ensue from the exas- perated state of party feeling. Our correspondent at Curacoa, writing on the 28th ult., mentions the arrival at that port of two vessels with refugees from San Domingo, who gave sad ac- counts of the state of affairs there, caused by the civil war. Gen. Baez was still within the city, but not likely to hold out much longer. His force had been reduced by the sword, desertion and famine to not more than five hundred men, and there was no hope of his obtaining reinforcements. Santana, with a force of five thousand men, was encamped within two miles of the city. He had erected batteries, and many houses had already been destroyed by the fire from them. Santapa is said to have been seriously wounded. The inhabitants of San Domingo were in a state of starvation, and large quantities of provi- sions were in process of shipment from Curacoa to their relief. Despatches have been received at Washington confirmatory of the report of the capture and des- truction of government provision trains by the Mor- mons. This first overt act of treason against the federal authorities was perpetrated on the 5th ult., near Pacific Spring. No one was killed in the affair, as the small escort of the trains offered no resistance. A Cabinet council was held yesterday to consult upon the intelligence, but probably nothing will be done until official despatches are received from Col. Johnson, the commander of the military expedition. It is stated that the Mormon force at Pacific Spring numbered seven hundred, and there was a force of fifteen hundred men at Great Salt Lake City. The effective strength of the army for Utah does not exceed one thousand, and a portion of them, being fresh from the everglades of Florida, are but illy fitted to contend with the rigorous climate of the Northwest. As it is not deemed possible to for ward reinforcements and supplies until spring, the troops are in a desperate strait, and we soon expect news of a bloody collision between the opposing parties. ‘The steamer Isabel has arrived at Charleston, with advices from Havana to the 10th inst. They, how- ever, contain no news of interest. We publish elsewhere a card from Mr. James E. Cooley, accepting the nomination for the Mayorality of this city. A new steamtug, named the Independence, which has been built under the superintendence of Capt. Ezra Nye, formerly of the steamship Pacific, went on 8 trial trip yesterday. The Independence will in, due time proceed to Valparaiso, where her owners have secured a monopoly of the towing business. The Collins steamship Adriatic went to sea yes- terday on a trial trip. The workingmen’s demonstrations in Tompkins square are daily growing beautifully less. Yester- day at no one time were there over five hundred per- sons present. Some considerable fun and excitement were created in the afternoon by the appearance of Madame Ranke, who, with several men, attempted to speak to the crowd, but each was prevented from making any extended remarks in consequence of the feelings of the people having become prejudiced against so much talk, which, after all, has resulted in so little good. Madame Ranke, however, succeeded in making several interesting explanations regarding her peculiar theories. One speaker was driven from the ground minus his cap, and Madame Ranke had to be escorted off by the police. The meeting finally wound up by a proposition from a German named Joseph Rink to employ forty or fifty men during the winter to chop wood in Virginia at forty cents a cord. The Special Committee appointed by the Board of Aldermen to confer with the Governors of the Alms- house and the officers of several philanthropic insti- tutions, relative to making provision for the unem- ployed of our city, were to have met yesterday, but Alderman Tucker was the only member of the Com- mittee present. Two or three citizens appeared, and thought it would be advisable for the Committee to wait and see what action would be taken by philanthropic bodies, and remarked that the socie- ties were going to do something. The Committee on Lands and Places of the Board of Aldermen held a meeting yesterday to consider the propriety of purchasing 56 acres of land on Ward's Island for the city. No decision was come to, and the Committee adjourned till Tuesday next. The trial of James Rodgers for the murder of John Swanston, in Tenth avenue, resulted yesterday in a verdict of guilty. Immediately after the rendi- tion of the verdict the prisoner was joined by his mother and sisters, who wept bitterly at the result of the trial. ‘The Young Men's Republican Committee met last night at the Stuyvesant Institate, Broadway, and, without transacting any business, adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. The news received yesterday by the Arabia hnd the effect of checking sales of cotton. The light stock, how ever, in this market induced holders not to press sales, and in one case for a reepectable line a buyer offered to take itat a half cent decline, which was refused. The moderate receipts and light stock of broadstutfs also tend ed to prevent a decline to correspond with the depression of prices in Liverpool. Flour, with moderate sales, closed at a decline of about Sc. « 10c. per bbl , and common and medium grades of whent also fell off 2c. a Se. per bushel, while prime was scarce and sales limited. Corn was easier, with sales of Western mixed at 7éc. a 78c. Pork was quiet, with small sales of mess at $19 76. Sugars were in fair demand, with sales of about 524 blids. and 576 boxes at prices given in another column. Coffee was quiet and prices unchanged. Freights were steady, with moderate engagements at full prices. ‘The Fall of Dethi. Delhi, like Sebastopol, has fallen, and what- ever repute the British enjoyed formerly as sol- diers, there can be no question now but they will henceforth rank among the first military nations. The capture of Delhi is one of the most magnificent military exploits of modern times. It will be remembered that at the beginning of September General Wilson lay opposite the place, to the north of it, on a ridge of hills, with some ten to eleven thousand men—not enough to justify an assault—and with no siege train. In the first week in September he re- ceived a reinforcement of some two thousand men from the heirs of the late Gholab Singh, of Cashmere, and also a siege train. These ob- tained, he commenced work without delay, and #0 buttered the place that by the 14th of Sep- tember the assault was begun. the most obstinate fights on record, and reminds one of the capture of Monterey in our Mexican war. On the first day the English took the bastion nearest their camp. On the next, they spread their lines, and seized a piece more of wall. On the next they took the magazine. Next day they found their way a little farther into the town, and finally, on the sixth day of inces- sant fighting, they compelled the insurgents to evacuate the place and made thethselves com- plete masters of Delhi. Strange to say, in all this fighting the loss was not over 600 men; the English were evidently well managed and taken care of by their officers, Though the King of Delfi, and several thou- It was one of | sand mutineers made their escape across the river, and, in all probability, will elude the small iorce of cavalry sent in pursuit, there can be no doubt, now, but, as the London 7imes says, “the neck of the rebellion is broken.” Delhi was the only fort and arsenal held by the mutineers. It was the only respectable raly- ing place they had. Out of Delhi, they become mere vagubonds and marauders, without ammu- nition, without commiseariat, without organi- zation, without headquarters, without any base of operations or even any possible concerted plan. They only require to be let alone to pe- rish of hunger. Moreover, if, without reinforcements from home, a single regiment has been able to hold Agra, a handful to defend Lucknow, less than eight hundred to capture Cawn- pore, and less than a regiment to hold such places as Allahabad and the other stations of the northwest against any force the rebels could bring against them, what will become of the sepoys when the 85,000 Englishmen who are to be in India by this time are let loose upon them? Why, there will not be the shadow of a shred of a sepoy uniform to be found in all Bengal or the Northwest by next spring. Thou- sands of them will have expiated the monstrous cruelties of Nana Sahib and his men with their lives; the rest—like the King of Delhi and his sons—will be very glad to seek some obscure shelter in the dress of women, The rebellion in India may be regarded as over already. ? Startling News from the Mormons—The War Commenced against the Government, A few days since it was reported from the West that the Mormons among the Rocky Mountains had captured the advanced provi- sion trains of seventy-eight wagons belonging to the United States army corps en route for the Great Salt Lake. A special correspondent at Washington now informs us that the President has received official confirmation of this intelli- gence through a despatch from Judge Echols, (appointed for Utah as the new Chief Justice of that Territory, and accompanying the army corps,) dated at the army camp on the Sweet Water, twenty-one miles east of the South Pass. From this despatch we learn that three go- vernment trains, numbering in all seventy-eight wagons, together with their contents, had been captured and appropriated by the Mormons | without resistance; and that the advanced Mor- mon force concerned in this capture numbered seven hundred men, while the reserved force at the Salt Lake numbered fifteen hundred. These acts of treason and rebellion appear to have been committed at several points, within two hundred miles of Great Salt Lake City; and as the army route over this interval lies through a confused mass of wild and desolate mountains, with frequent difficult passes and defiles highly favorable for guerilla warfare, we may reasona- bly infer that, having crossed the Rubicon, the Mormons will follow up their work in a stub- born defence of these mountain approaches to their capital. We should not, therefore, be sur- prised if the next information from this new seat of war were tidings of the destructian of an advanced detachment or two of the United States army by the infatuated followers of the Mormon prophet. The inhospitable region into which the gov- ernment troops were penetrating affords sub- sistence for neither mam nor beast. The emi- grant trail through this howling wilderness is perhaps as thickly strewn with the skeletons of wasted caravans as the desert route to Tim- buctoo. The season is advanced. Ere this those Utah or Uintah mountains and their de- files are covered with the snows of a long win- ter; and if an army force of less than two thousand men, despoiled of their main supplies of subsistence, shall still be able to push through to the Salt Lake, it may be considered a very fortunate or a very wonderful achievement. More likely, from the loss of their provisions, the government troops will be compelled to fall back upon the plains, and wait the return of spring before resuming their expedition. All our advices of the last three months from the Salt Lake have foreshadowed this plan of operations on the part of the Mormons, as com- menced in the capture of these provision trains. It was certainly anything but a wise movement to send them so far in advance of the troops. The usual rule is to bring up the baggage and provisions in the rear of the army. To be sure, with all their threatenings and military prepa- rations, it was not supposed that the Mormons would be so foolish as to invite the alternative of a forcible expulsion from the country, by an overt act of rebellion; but a good soldier guards against all possible contingencies, and is par- ticularly careful of those supplies upon which the very existence of his troops depends, We see now that Brigham Young is really in earnest, and that his programme is a desperate struggle to maintain his dictatorship an@ his polygamy. We have been led to believe, from his speeches and his movements, that he expects to be able to beat back the present army expe- dition of the government; that by the next spring he proposes to organize all Mormondom into a moveable camp, and, with the approach of an army force which cannot be resisted, his plan will most probably be to evacuate Utah with the whole Mormon commu- nity, burning or destroying everything in their retreat which they cannot carry away. From his tour of exploration last spring, the Mormon prophet will thus, perhaps, move north- ward, across Oregon and Washington Territo- ries into the British Possessions, to try the hos- pitality of Queen Victoria. It is certain, at all events, that Brigham Young is fully aware of the extreme folly of attempting to maintain by arms his occupation of Utah against the United States government. Accordingly, we think ita safe conclusion that his scheme is to beat back the present government expedition, and to evacuate Utah in an Israelitish exodus, or by a peaceable dispersion of the Saints in the fpring, to be collected together again at some new Canaan, as their means and facilities may permit. In this light we consider this intelligence of the capture of the government army trains ag good news. It reduces this Mormon difficulty toasimple and easy solution. The chief and his whole gang of pestilent polygamists have chosen the alternative of rebellion. They must now prepare to submit to the strong hand, or to move their camp beyond the limits of the Unit- ed States. We have no doubt they have made up their minds to repel this first government expedition, and to prepare for a complete evacuation against the approach of another. There is no longer any peace or security for them and their adulterous and incestuous habits in Utah. They are fully convinced of this; and the policy of the administration henceforth should be that active military policy which will moet + peed ly operate to relieve the country of the ruisance of Mormonism without the effu- tion of blood. Give Brigham Young and his chief conspirators no promises of mercy; but leave every avenue open for their peaceable re- treat to some other part of the world, and let them go. Should they pass over into the do- minions of Victoria, let them go—for the most of them will thus be returning to their firat al- legiance. This news from the Sweet Water is good news, as it indicates an early removal of the Mormons beyond our boundaries, ‘The New Expedition of Walker to Central America, The telegraph has advised us that General Walker left New Orleans on the 11th instant, on board the mail boat from that city to Mobile, with eome three hundred followers, and that the party were afterwards embarked in the Mobile bay on board the steamer Fashion, and pro- ceeded to Central America. There is nodoubt that Walker has again gone to Central America, and we shall probably next hear of his landing at Greytown. What his available means and force consist of is not pub- licly known, for his secret has been well kept. It is evident, however, that they are not large, for the earrying capacity of the little steamer Fashion, in which he is said to have departed, is very limited. Besides, Gen. Henningsen and Capt. Fayssoux, who are in fact his military and naval arms, have remained behind. Whether this new expedition of Walker’s has been gotten up like the second expedition of Lopez to Cuba, of inferior materials to his first one, and as a desperate resort; or whether Hen- ningsen and Fayssoux have remained behind in order to follow with more men when Walker shall have effected a landing, is not known; and the latter supposition will probably depend upon the success that attends the desperate leader. That he has little or no connection with or favor for any of our New York steamboat Com- modores is pretty evident. The state of things which he will find in Cen- tral America is most heterogeneous. The Costa Rican forces guarding the lower part of the San Juan river will probably have gone up to attack the Nicaraguans in Fort San Carlos, and Walker may come just in time to save General Martinez and Nicaragua from being overrun by the forces of President Mora. At all events, it is evident that matters have not improved since he left that country, and the course which both parties have pursued there since his depar- ture has not tended to raise them in the estima- tion of the world. If Walker succeeds in getting another foothold in Nicaragua we hope that, unlike the Bourbons on their return to France, he will both have learned and have forgotten many things. Some of the journals are disposed to censure the administration and the federal officers for the departure of Walker. But any one at all acquainted with the state of public opinion in our Southern and Southwestern States well knows that it is beyond the power of the federal government to stop a small expedi- tion like those Lopez got off and this which Walker has taken out. The manner in which it is done is as follows:—A quantity of arms and ammunition, such as will abundantly equip 300 men, is placed in security fifty or sixty miles below New Orleans, on the bank of the Mississippi; the steamer that is to take the expedition clears at the Custom House in bal- last, and in the present instance was searched by the Marshal; nothing is found, for there is nothing on board of her, and no one except a few of the trusty initiated know where the arms are; she starts at nightfall, as do all vessels leaving New Orleans, so as to reach the bar at the mouth of the river by morning. On her way down the few boxes containing the outfit can be taken on board in an hour, and at day- break she is at sea. The next day Walker and his men embark on the mail boat or any other boat on Lake Pontchartrain as passengers and without arms; the Fashion is met at sea, the men are transferred to her, and the ex- pedition is complete. Lopez pursued a similar course with his first expedition, and, as no military organization was made until after he was out of the country, no jury could be found to convict him on his return. As for the federal officers in the South, no one will give them any information of what is going on; and so strongly does public opinion set with all parties against their straining to carry out our too strong neutrality laws, that when- ever one is found willing to do it, he is met with insult in the public places, and covered with opprobrium everywhere. Thus a law which endeavors to enforce our neutrality, by con- ferring too great a degree of power upon the government, overreaches itself by the reaction of the public mind. The administration is, therefore, as powerless to defeat small expedi- tions in the South, as it is to catch a ranaway slave in the North, enforce unpopular laws in Kansas, or restrain the rangers of Texas and the miners of California. ‘The Financial News from England. The city was taken by surprise yesterday morning by the news that the English, so far from succumbing under the influence of the news of our financial embarrasaments and the suspension of specie payments by our banks, bad taken the matter quite coolly, and thought, on the whole, that it was the best thing that could have been done. It was hardly reasonable to expect to hear by the Arabia the full effect of our disasters here, It will take some time for our catastrophe to react upon the commercial community of Eng- land. The houses which are doomed will strug- gle as long as they can, and may succeed in putting off the evil day for a longtime. In 1837, the bank suspension took place in May, and the Anglo-American houses in England did not fall till late in the summer. For the mo- ment, the exhilarating effect of the fall of Delhi and the proximate reconquest of the Presidency of Bengal have completely counteracted the damping tendency of our commercial troubles. Of course, ultimately, as the fall of Delhi will put no monéy into the pockets of the English their loss by us will be none the less, and what ever come of India, they will still have all the same to pay up their debts to us and to resign themeelyes to lose many of the debts we owe them. They will still lose a large proportion of the money they have invested in our rotten rajlways. They will still suffer severely by our batikrupt dry goods dealers and our insolvent merchants, But when all these losses are fairly written down and checked off, to what do they amount for a nation like England? Next to nothing. Our trade with England, or rather that portion of it which can be affected by these commercial tem- pests, is a very emall part of the financial and commercial business of Great Britain. The mercheatg aud bankers who might be over- thrown by our revulsion are so infinitessimal a part of the Britieh community that the loss of them would hardly be noticed if they went out of sight altogether. The Anglo-American houses might be swept away and trade would go on just as usual; the great business of the country does not depend on their existence or their sol- vency. We may learn a wholesome lesson from the Britieh reception of our financial troubles, There was no flurry in the street, no clamor in the newspapers. The suspension of the banks was hailed as “a very good thing” on the whole; and as for specie, it was proclaimed that Eng- land would send as much as we wanted, pro- vided we paid for it. This is the tone and language of a sensible, practical, ripely intelli- gent people. We could do no harm by copying them sometimes, We are yet too near the re- vulsion to dogmatize on it; but when the time comes that we shall know the inside history of the revulsion and bank suspension of 1857, from beginning to end, perhaps it may be found that this community did not distinguish itself in that year for coolness, sagacity, courage or common sense, and possibly it may occur to the future historian of these times to illustrate his meaning by contrasting with our flurry and panic the manly attitude of some other people ina like crisis, England would present an obvious par- allel, Avyornzr Invaston or Wart Srreet.— Scarcely has Wall street recovered from the fright of one formidable invasion of outsiders, when it is to be visited by another. This day, at half-past three, the great indignation army of General Oakey Hall, and all the other gene- rals of the same name, is to assemble in front of the Merchants’ Exchange. We advise the bulls and bears to be on the qui vive, and the bankers and financiers of all descriptions to re- member that caution is the parent of safety. There is no telling what may happen. Numbers of unhappy men will be on hand, who know the exact places where the specie lies, and behind these men, for all that we know, there will be gathered together in Wall street, from the Ex- change to Trinity church, all the red republi- cans of Tompkins square. No doubt this Wall street assemblage will be one of the most amusing, imposing, extraordinary and ridicu- lous that has ever been seen in that locality, and every man who is afraid of his corns should keep away. Let the Cabinet be on the alert, and let General Scott be on hand awaiting orders. When disappointed politicians, and speculators, and hungry workmen, and red and black republicans assemble together in Wall street, there will be a high time. THE LATEST NEWS. ene ereered IMPORTANT FROM THE MORMONS. The First Overt Act of Treason Against the Federal Authorities. SEIZURE OF GOVERNMENT PROVISION TRAINS, de, deo, de. Wasutatox, Noy. 13, 1857. Dispatches were received by the State Department to- day from Chief Justice Echols, of Utah, dated at “Camp on Sweet Water, twenty-one miles east of South Pass, Octo- ber 13, 1857." Judge Echols says:— “An express has just arrived from Green river, and re- ports that on the night of October 6 @ train of twentySix wagons was captured by the Mormons, twenty-five miles from the Pacifle Spring. At the same time two other trains were taken near Green river—in all seventy eight wagons and loading. The Mormons said they had seven hundred men there and fifteen hundred more at Salt Lake City. “Col. Alexander is encamped on Ham's Fort, thirty miles im advance of the front train, which is destroyed. Ho sent Captain Marcy with four hundred men back to Green river, to enable the teamsters to collect their cattle. “The Mormons killed no one, for the reason that no re- sistance was made. “Col. Smith will collect the trains on this side and escort them forward. One train is now before us and two behind. We are in good spirits, and that is a groat help to all. The Mormons will likely attack us in a day or two, and may ruo their impudence. We have forty- seven men in this command, but Col. Smith is a host within himself, We have determined, if attacked, to use the rifles in the lines, Wo shall most likely take the route on Bear river for SaltLake Oty. The want of forage for our mules is the greatest hindrance, but we will go on if we have to walk aud carry our provisions.’ Tbe above despatch, showing tho first overt act of Mormon treasoa, was immediately laid before the Presi- dent of the United States, who summoned the members of the Cabinet for consultation upon its contents. The intelligence waa considered in Cabinet meeting in the afternoon, but no definite action determined on. The Secretary of-War thinks it would be hopeless to attempt to send reinforcements or supplies so late in the season as this. Despatches are anxiously looked for from Col. Johnson, who is in command of the army for Utah, The government officers do not fully credit the report received from Judge Kehols. ‘The California Mails.
