Happily, too, as regards the fature, it may be hoped that the advance to 9 per ceyt will have the good effect of causing the home government to insist that these financiers, before availing themselves of the casy method of drawing upon what they faney to be the ex- baustless resources of England, shail be compelled. to at. tempt the discovery whether a country which for a long time has been absorbing silver from us at the rate of Six millions per annum cannot be made two provide in some degree for the cost of its own sdisturbances. Periods of insurrection are precisely those in which & suspension of specie payments is not only legiti- mate, but in most cases, as a matter of justice, indispen- sable; and even if it were an unmixed evil, instead of a salutary precaution, it would be better that the natives of India should be subjected to the slight inconvenience of receiving their dividends and other claims in interest- Doaring but temporarily inconvertible paper than that the commerce of Europe and America should be convulsed, and thousands of families be thrown out of employment, in order that there should be no discomfort on that side amd no in- terruption to the facilities of hoarding. It is the business ‘of the Indian government to consider what they would do if they had not the English exchequer to fall upon. Would they abandon the country, or would the wholesome stimulus of necessity yield its usual results? We have supplied men and munitions, and India is rich enough to find money. There is no reason to assume that the issue of @ note circulation, even on a large scale—sup- ing it requisite as a last resource—a circumstance far rom certain—would be attended with difficulty. The natives weuld be found sufficiently keen to estimate the value of a government note, carrying 6 or 7 per cent inte- rest, and receivable at par in the course of six or twelve months for revenue dues, and at the same time we should bave the satisfaction of knowing that every one with paper of this description in his pocket would feel an ac- cess of loyalty and a proportionate desire for the main- tenance of order. ‘An average business has been transacted in the foreign stocks generally, at the depressed prices of yesterday.

The market has been more setiled than might have been anticipated, owing to the gloomy tenor of letters from London. It is supposed that the rate of discount has been raised to 9 per cent by the Bank of England, and to84; by the Bank of France; but no official notice has yet been received. Tt appears that a railway company hav- ing requirec of the government the necessary authoriza- tion for issuing a new loan to continue their works, the France has consented to make advances on the ‘w debentures, so that no further issue will be made on the market.

But the tribunal, finding that the said operations were of a gambling nature, Mahler never bay ing had the intention of receiving or providing the securi- ties he ordered to be purchased or sold, but ouly of re- ceiving or paying the difference that might be occasioned by a rise or fall in their value, dismissed the action with } } | mediately in Paris, and produces the same effects, jn unless they | pplication | would therefore simply be a request in another form that | ‘ther can it be for any enlargement of the circulation means of an issue of one pound notes, or any similar device. on the plea that the existing amount is not suf- ficient for the commercial wants of the country, Trade has undergone contraction in all directions, and there has been an enormous fall in prices, yet the aggregate of notes shown by the Gasette revarn of this ever to be in the honds of the public it nearly a million in excess of the total in uw June, 1856, when the rate of discount was only four und a balf, and the increasing magnitude our transactions was a daily subject of surprise.

[From the London Mercantile Gazette, Nov. 6.] There is a rumor that the Bank of France is about ta raise the rate of discount probably to'814 per cont. That this step, if determined upon, is the result of the last move on the part of the Bank of England, there can be no doubt. The monetary sympathy between the two coun- tries is now so comp! iat a pressure here is felt € ° ct with the national establishments in both coun- at present i#, of course, to keep the specie in the country; and although France does not experience the drain ‘for India and China which is felt here, and which, unlor existing circumstances, must be met, sho has her own diffleulties to contend with. The largest cre- ditor which America has on the continent of Europe—per- haps the only large creditor—is France; and it is much to be feared that the effect of the crisis in the States has only be: gin tobe felt across the channel. During the period of ox travagance and high living which preceded the revulsion in the States, the wines and silks were imported in extra ordinary quantities. Tho day of reckoning bas arrived, and the consequence is that many French houses, large wn the American trade, have already stopped payment. Tho firm stand which the Lyons manufacturers have mado, vo far led to the belief that the pressure could not operate very seriously there; but this confidence ix not so well mainta\ned aa the pressure advances, and the consequence must be that many will succumb. It has been suggested that the French merchants and ship- pers should take their settlement of their accounts in cotton and grain and other American pro- duce, The suggestion is, no doubt, a good one for those who can turn it to account, but there are many manufac turers and wine growers in France who may hot be able to do so. The facilities which it is said the American danke are about to afford for bringing produce to the ports of ebipment are of the greatest moment, and will asset materiaily in allaying the disturbance and mitigating the pressure. American produce in the European markets is as cash, or, at all events, the most convertible material poesible. Many are, however, of opinion, notwithstandi: the recent very favorable of the French Minister Pinaner, that the finances of Prance are in a condition t) reverse of satisfactory, and that a monetary crisis in that country "ts an event neither improbable nor remote. If this be so. the present disturbance will mnquestionably preci- te an event which, sooner or later, mustarrive. If the credit syst is not attained ic pro. portions, it has certainly approached limits by no means consistent with te principles of sound finance; and the question is, whether it is possible to recede without pro ducing the convulsion certain to oecur under the existing system. PIUS THE NINTH AND THE MONEY CRISIS. om Galignan| of Paris, Nov. 5.) The Pope's Nuncio bas just published a notification to the effect that the Papal government “on ex changing the various vouchers of loans contracted in France at different epochs, which are now in circulation, for new securities exactly similar to the old bonds, ring the same interest, destined to be paid off in the same manner, and ing all the guarantees given for the louns—so that je paying off of all shall take place in @ unitorm manner.’ consequence, the Nuncio re- questa the holders of such vouchers to e: them at the offices of MM. de Rothschild, at Paris, from ‘20th of this mouth, and he announces that the exchange will be eflected without any expense to,them.

[From tho London Times, Nov. 6.} ‘There is nothing in the Central American question which is very interesting to the English people. For many years the Spanish States which are situated near the isthmus have shared that indifference with which we are accus- tomed to regard the politics of the mother country. Their social relations, their customs, their friendships, and their feuds have been leas studied on this side of the Atlantic | than the doings in Caffraria or Borneo. But of late an ad- yentitious notoriety has attached to these regions. They have been the scene of adventures which recall, however unworthily, the remembrance of the buccaniers three cen- turies ago. The United States, with an increasing popul: tion and great material prosperity, of course contain a number of restless spirits, who, having neither the will to work nor the capital to speculate, are. | gee of | bry grt ag which promises them excitement and congenial employ- ment. Hence the series of attacks which have been directed against the possessions of the Spanish race during the last ears. In the greatest of these the whole nation took and the resull was the annexation of the fairest por- ioms of the territory of the Union. The acquisition of Texas, California and New Mexico and the brilliant campaigns of Scott and Taylor have naturally made the despoiling of Spanish America a popular idea. Invasion has become to some extent a pastime for the idle and dissipated. Within afew years Cuba has been attacked and Nicaragua occupied for months by forces waging a kind of private war under the name of filibus- tering. The profound peace which reigns on the Ameri- can continent, the smallness of the United States army, and the consequent want of an outlet for the military spirit of the lation, have no doubt led to those expe- ditions, which every one must condemn as reprehensible, and which would be ridiculous did not the courage and endurance of the misguided adventurers extort a kind of admiration. However, we are assured, and can well believe, that the people of the United States do not support these vio- lations of the law of nations. To say nothing of higher motives, it would seem that Americans are convinced that the possession of these equatorial regions, and their ad- mission into the Union as States, would be a curse rather thana blessing. There is a zene to which men of Furopean race must confine themselves in every part of the world. Whatever may be the physical vigor of Anglo- Saxons, or Irishmen, or Germans, they cannot hope to occupy the swamps and forest land of the tropics with impunity. al America and the West Indies may be cultivated by negro labor, slave or free, and « certain | number of whites may live in affluence and civilization as 2 July, was then sistant District Attorney, informed the Court that he owners or overseers, or traders or professional men, but the bulk of the population can never be of our own race. If whites settle in numbers they must degene- rate and become demoralized, and die out in the course | of a generation or two.’ These things are too plain to escape the observation of thinking men on either | side of the Atlantic, and consequently the Americans, | with the exception of the extreme Southern party and | the fanatics for annexation at any price, have no desire for acquisitions on the Spanish Main. The Tropicof Cancer must be the limit of Anglo-American republicanism. The path of civilization is Westward, and the nation must obey its destinies. The true statesman does not attempt to rule events: he merely watches and takes advantage of them. Every year thousands of acres are brought into cultivation fur to the west of the Mississippi, and towns are rising on the most distant shores of Lake Superior, | The whole impulse of the country is westward along the belt of Northern free States. Enropean immi- grants flock as naturally towards [linois and Iowa as the | native born lad from New England. To check or coutrol movement merely by the promptings of political | ambition is impossible, and the world may rejoice that t is so. We, in England, with a long experience | of tropical possessions, have felt from the first that the scheme for converting into American States the neck of | jand which joins the two continents could have no root tn any real national instinct hile, however, by the nature of things Central Ame- rica must be left in the hands of its present possessors, yet England and the United States must always have the deepest interest in the tranquillity of the country. That | Honduras, or Nicaragua, or Costa Rica can ever high position in the world as States no one can | But they may yet be peaceable, prosperous and ri ed. ‘The Spaniards have adapted themselves to the coun try better than we over should be likely to do, and thes have not that antipathy to amaigamation | with the Indian and African races which marks the Angio- Saxon. They are certainly the fiwest people to | inhabit the country; at any rate, they are there, | and we must make use of them. Bow wettle | the Contral American question must bo our first | object, The long disputes between the Union and this country are, perhaps, better understood by diplomatists “than by the public. In America they | have, no doubt, been followed with interest by the read- | ers of newspapers, but we Englishmen, amid the multi- | plicity of our relations and the never-ceasing succession of great questions, have paid but littie attention to a regen which we genorally associate only with mahogany, rattle snakes, and yellow fever. However, the question is | really important simply because it has been made so by | politicians. aggressive desigas of this “grasping | monarchy’ on Central America were, we will veature to say, the topic of some fifty thousand orations last Fourth of July. We cannot but rejoice, then, that our govern ment has determined to settle the matter, #0 far as lies in | is power. Sir William Gore Ouseley has been despatched to the United States, and will, it is eaid, be met in an a the American Cabinet. i aos.” S Se tigen new om ti cl ” wer | Treaty. It is well known that a ro in the | United States has seen with anger the government at Washington bind itself never to occupy the Central Ame- rican territory ly it is, we beliove only a party, | and the great body of the public will be contented with a | treaty establishing fhe neutrality of regions which, aa a possession, can be’ useful to no one, but a free | through which is necessary for the security of the world's | commerce.

The ques- tion has, no doubt, been complicated by the ayn a expeditions, which have excited the American mind, made it unwilling to consent to anything which seemed likely to check the occupation and conquest of the country. However, as thie excitement has now pretty well passed away, the sensible and oquitatle stipulations of the treaty are likely to be better iated.

(From the London News, Nov. 6. The huge steamer Vanderbilt, from the United States, was telegraphed yesterday as having passed Hurst Custio ava i Captain Higgins, ber commander, was in bed dangerously ill, and an East End pilot was on bowrd ia cominand of the ship. A dense fog was in the Solent. The Vanderbilt, on passing Hurst, was on her way t roads, where she was to put out her English m: tng steamer from Southampton, and then proceed Betwoen Cowes and Calshot Caetle there iv a gand bank called the Brambles, where now and then a small craft has been fort. On the Brambles the Vanderbilt grounded. Most fortanately she was at the time going at only one-third of her speed, the tide also was flowing, and a powerful tug steamer, with steam up, happened to be close by to aeawt her off again. As soon as the Vanderbilt grounded Mr. Billingsly, a gentleman from the firm of Messrs. Dunlop and Scbonles, the Southampton agents of the Vanderbilt line, happened to be on board the Southampton tug which was waiting at Cower for the Fnglicl) passengers of the Vanderbilt, and he immediately gave orders to go along: side the large steamer, and make preparations for assist- ing ber off, The tide had to rige eix or seven feet on the Bramble, and in about two hours after the steamer grounded she was afloat again; but not before she had lost ‘an anchor and broke a chain. Had it not been for the as sistance rendered by the tug, the grounded steamer would not have floated before the next tide. Atl P.M. yester day the Vanderbilt left Cowes for Havre without haying received any damage beyond that just mentioned. The Vanderbilt bas experienced noth storms and heavy gales across the Atlantic Court of General Sessions. MANSLAUGHTRE —BURGLARY—HIGHWAY HOBBERY— GARROTERS SENTENCED, ETO., ETO. Before Judge Russell. GRAND LARCENY. Nov. 20.—The first case that was tried this morning ‘was a charge of grand larceny, preferred against Samuel Doyle, who was formerly a porter in the employ of L. 0. ‘Wilson & Co. It was alleged, ona search of his houge, ‘that he purloined pieces of muslin and poplin from the store of his employers; but the two pieces found, worth $26. were not sufficiently identified by the clerks,and the jury acquitted the accused. Judge Russell said, that on ‘that verdict he was entitled to the property which had been taken from him and deposited withjthe property clerk, and granted an order to that effect. Doyle left the Court in company with his wife, who ap] very respectable woman, Some time since Doyle was tried and acquitted of burglary, L. 0. Wilson & Co, charging him with breaking into their store and stealing $2,100 in money. red :to be a BURGLARY IN THE FIRST DEGRER. James Beglan, indicted for burglary in the first degree, in breaking into'the dwelling house ‘of Heironymus He- rold, No, 196 avenue A, on the night of the 6th of last datthe bar. Mr. Sedgwick, the As- would take & pen of guilty of burglary in the seeond degree, and at the same time handed the papors 10 “Tudge Russell, who examined thom. Subjoined is the affidavits in the case:— Heironymus Herold, residing at 196 avenue A, deposed that on the 6th of July his store and dwelling house was forcibly and feloniously broken open and entered by some | person, and a A agen of leather, worth $6, was stolen herefrom ; that lan; for on the above night his wife awoke him and told him that some person was in the store; deponent up and took his revolver and went down stairs and heard some person in the store; deponent hallooed ‘Who is here?” whereupon a person rushed out of the store into ‘he eutry and ran out through the hall door: another one then came to the door, when deponent fired his pistol at him, when he fell and went to the front door of the store and unbarred it; deponent went to the entry door and stood there, and when he came out deponent shot at him again; he ran and deponent followed him around the corner in Fourteenth street, when Beglan turned round and shot at him ; deponent then went back to his store, andon examining it found a quantity of blood on the glass of the front door, together withjtwo pieces of bone; one appear- ing to be a piece of a jaw bone and the other a part of a ; deponent was informed by Dr. Powell, two days after, that he had dreesed a wound for a man by the namo of James Beglan, who had been shot in the jaw and mouth, and that he had taken several pieces of bone from his jaw and mouth, Dr. Powell, of No. 154 Second avenue, deposed that he was a physician and resides at the above number, and that on or about the 6th of July last he was called to go to Kighth street, near the First avenue, between 4 and 5 o’clock in the morning; that on arriving at the place he found Dr. Alexander B. Mott there before him, who was examining a man who had been wounded in the right w; the wound a) ed to be a gunshot wound; the bail entered between the chin and the teeth; three of the teeth had been destroyed; deponent did not attend to bim, as Dr. Mott had arrived first. James Beglan, on being examined according to law, said that he was born in the city of New York, was un- married, twenty years old, lived in First avenue, and was a gas fitter by trade. hen the City Judge had finished reading the deposi- tions he remarked, in sentencing the prisoner, that the papers exhibited a very clear case of guilt against him, and had he been tried on that charge and convicted, he could have been sent to the State prison for the term of his natural life. His Honor said he was informed that the Grand Jury had found an indictment for an assault with intent to kill against Beg- lan also, and had he been convicted of that offence, the Judge saic he would have felt it incumbent upon him to passa very severe sentence. He sentenced him to nine years and six months imprisot ment in the State prison. Beglan appeared to be a ‘Dead Rabbit,” and it was universally regretted that he was not tried on the charge of burglary in the first degree, in order that Judge Russell could have disposed of him for several years. As it was, he gave him the extent of the law. It is said that the “Rabbits” who wantonly attacked Dr. A. B. Mott, on the corner of Seventh street and Second ave- nue early this morning—the particulars of which will be found in another column—are confederates of Beglan, and that as Dr. Mott was a witness against him in this charge of burglary, sooner than risk a conviction of their associ- ate, they deemed it prudent to prevent Dr. Mott from at- tending at the Court of Sessions. Fortunately the ruffians who attempted to assassinate him did not succeed in their villanous design. MANSLAUGHTER. : Owen Kiernan, an old man, was tried for manslaughter insthe third degree, in causing the death of James McDer- mot by a cart rung,on the 20th of October. It seemed from the evidence that the defendant and the deceased met ina grocery store, when a difficulty first occurred between th 4 another man,in which a knife was drawn, aller which words ensved between the deceased and Kier- nan; they clinched and aflarwards went out, Kiernan first and’ the deceased following immediately. ‘Shortly after, when they were under the awning, they had hard words, and the deceased walked off fifteen or twenty feet, when Kiernan came up to him and struck him with a cart rung. He was taken to the Hellevue Hospital and died the next day. The physician who attended him swore that McDer- mot was struck on the head with a blunt instrument, and died from concussion of the brain. - The defence proved that Kiernan was a very peaceable and well disposed man when sober, but was in the habit of taking a little drop too much. ‘The jury, after baif an hour's consultation, rendered a verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the fourth degree. = will be sentenced to-morrow, which is the last day of e term. INGHWAY RORHERY. Jobn Carroll, jointly indicted with James McQuinney and William Brown, for garroting a French cook, named John Franeworth, on the 20th of October, and stealing $85 in gold coin, was next put on trial. It will be remem- bered that MeQuinney was tried and convieted the other | day and sent to the State prison for fourteen years and 1X months, The complainant repeated his stor: that on the day in question he was paid off iy captain in bila, which he got exchanged at a baker's in South street. He visited the Chatham street theatre mm the evening, and on leaving ft was accost- ed by the prisoners, who garroted him and abstracted his money from his pocket. He fought desperately, and on in- forming an officer of what had happened visited a number of dens in the Five Points in company with him. After a diligent search they found the accused, who were posi- tively identified by Mr. Francworth as the parties who robbed him, They were arrested on the spot and com- mitted by the magistrate. Mr. Larrowe, counsel for Carroll, called a man named Manke to establish an alibi. He testified that he kept a grocery store on the Points, and that he was in his store all the night; but the jury did pot credit his testimony, and after consulting for a few moments rendered a verdict of guilty. As soon as the verdict was rendered Brown pleaded quilty without delay, expecting that by #o doing the dreavied Judge, whose characteristics #eem to be well aecoees atthe “Points,” would be more lenient to m ‘The Clerk then arraigned Carroll and Brown, who were asked the usual questions. Carroll sad he had been a blacksmith and n worked at carpentering. On betn asked why the sentence which the law imposed ‘shoul not be passed, they commenced roaring and yelling as if they were a couple of mad bulls. Brown said that all this had been dene by the police officer, because he (Brown) promised to give him some money and failed to do #0, the officer told him that if he gave him some money he would speak « good word for bim to Justice Connoll the Tombs. “Tam as innocent of thi wid Brown, “as the Judge on the bench.” “So help tne, God, Tam innocent, | to,” reared Carroll; “Tamas innocent as a child, for was working for the man who testified that] was in bis store.” Judge Russell, in passing sentence, said;—Carroll, there is nothing in your Ly 74 to make me change my mind as to what ought to be fe course I should pursue in reference to your appeal. Youg, previous character is very bad, and I must Inpose a sifilar sentence to the one inflicted tipon MeQuinney, which was fourteen years and five months, and that is the sentenee of the Court in your cage He addressed Brown thus:—Brown, you are the worst of the three, and had you put usto the trouble of a trial, I should send you to Sing Sing for thirty years; but, inas much as you have pleaded guilty, I will’not be very se- vere with you.

The sen tence of the Court if that you be imprieoned in the State prigon for fourteen years and five months. Francworth, who bad been detained in prigon as a wit. ness, was allowed $25 for the time he was detained to answer the ends of justice. RORWERY BY A CHINAM An indictment for robbery was found named Hoe. an the complaint of Gasen Hing man. who deposed that on the night of the #th of Novem: ber he was in Church street and had a rencounter with the aeeused. Hoe struck Hing in the fhee, seized him by the throat violently, garroted bim with as much noncha lance as a‘‘member of the jon’ at the Points, and ab stracted a wateh and chain worth $40, and $16 in gold coin, from bis person. complainant and the accused were brought fgece to face, but the Assistant District Attorney , nor any other in court, could understand a word they enid; and after listening for a few moments to their “yahe” and their “ yohe ye let them go, facetiously remarking that @ Chinaman’s oath was as valuable aa broken china, The calendar being exhausted, at half past four o'clock the Court adjourned till to morrow morning, which ts the last day of the term, when some important sentences will pronounced. It was rumored yesterday that the Grand lury would make a presentment on Saturday relative to the recent horrible murders that have been committed ja this city. Svreme or How. Psnon Brackman.—The citi zene of Newark, Wayne county, were thrown into great excitement this morning in consequence of the announce mont of the suicide of Hon. Bxbon Blackmar, not only & prominent clten of Wayne county, but well known throughout Western New York. On Monday last Mr. B. was compelled to yield to the pressure of the times, and make an assignment. His poounery liabilities were very large, bat his assets wonld have been ample to meet them in ordinary times. Tt is supposed that his financial em: barrasemente eo depressed his spirits as to cause him to commit self-destruction. ‘The particulars of the suicide are stated thas:—The servant girl in the family of Mr. B. made fires at 6 o'clock this morning, and soon after saw him come from his room and pass out as usual. A short time Inter, one of the family noticed that the hat and cloak venally worn by Mr. Blackmar were in the house, which indicated that ‘he had not left the premises, After a esearch of an hour or more the lifeless body of Mr. B. was found in a spring or shallow well in the cellar of his house. His head was downward, and the feet projected just above the surface ofthe water. Mr. Blackmar represented his district in Congres some ten years since, and wae widel known and esteemed as a man of ability and integrity, Ho was largely engaged in banking and in produce dealing. He leaves a family and a large circle of acquaintances ard friends who will sincerely mourn his lows, as will the mi in which he resided.—Rocheger Union, ow. 19 has good cause to suspect James - | Frovr Leagvx.—They have a “ flour league” at Hollidaysburg, and on Saturday last it sent an order to Pittsburg for twenty four barrels of extra family, which is to cost $6 64 delivered to the subscribers.
