In common with many others in Virginia,I have read ‘of the disturbances in New Xork on the part of the unem- ployed laborers, and take the liberty of making a sug- by which all danger of the kind may be avoided the fature. It ia simply this—that the persons out of employment there # go to those parts of our country where there as a demand for labor. this part of our State, aud, in- deed, in the whole of Western Virginia, there ia a press- ing demand for almost every kind of laboring hands. We have few negroes—in some counties there are not a hun- ‘dred—and those we have are rapidly being carried off to the cotton aud sugar growing States of the South. Their piace can only be supplied from the free laborers of the North. So you will be doing your unemployed poor and tas, 100, a service by senting men here. We need farm hands, gardeners, nursery men, blacksmiths, miners, und, indeed, common laborers and artisans of every kin‘.

Those statistics serve to give a pretty taithful idea of the way the busiuess revul ‘ion is affecting the interior of New England.

MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, Nov. 22—6 P. M. The stock market closed yesterday with a decided upward tendency. In all the leading speculative stocks the highest points ruled, and an active de- mand existed from cash purchasers. The bull move- ment thus far has been a vigorous one, and the party engaged have become too deeply involved to relax a moment in their efforts to continue the inflation. With thousands upon thousands of shares of stocks in hand, which they are able to carry, and with the ability to carry as many more, there is very little doubt but that a farther expansion will be realized. The market is notlikely to be pressed with stock for sale without finding buyers, so long as the bull party continues able and willing to buy. But they must continue purchasers to continue the inflation and to keep the supply of stock from increasing. This we look for, and have no doubt of the success of the movement, so long as the absorption of stock goes on. The duration of this is the only point in ques- tion. It will we fear be found much more difficult to sell than to buy, and the effect of a withdrawal of the present demand can be easily imagined. The expansion in prices has already been to an un- precedented extent for the same space of time, and it would be something extraordinary if some im portant reaction was not very soon realized. It wil be seen by the current quotations that prices for most of the leading railroad stocks have already touched points exceedingly dangerous, except for wild and reckless speculation. No prudent person can think of investing in these secarities at these prices,and those who have involved themselves as purchasers have done so for no other purpose than the hope of imniediate profit. The principal opera- tors on the bull side entered the market as pur- chasers at high points. After they commenced operations for an inflation, the market rected ten, fifteen and twenty per cent. The improvement since, With the vast purchases required uponevery advance to sustain it and to create further inflations, have not much benefitted the position of the promi- nent speculators, and the probability is that av the game now stands it has not been a very profitable one. The vital importance of the market touching higher points, and of an outside absorption, is there- fore evident. The bull party must receive aid from sume outside source, or the burden will become too grea for them to carry. Without such aid any fur- ther expansion in market values will be a dangerous movement, for the higher points prices reach the less the probability of new buyers coming in and the greater the probability of an uncontrollable supply of stock coming into the street. In support of the position of speculators for a rise, even upon present high prices, is the fact that an easier money market has not been known in Wall street for years. The banks are free lenders on call at the rate of five and six per cent per annnm, and the brokers can hypothecate their stocks with fa- yorable margins to any amount. This gives all the facilities required for the most extensive cornering combinations, and the bulls are dixposed to avail themselves of this support to the fullest’ extent. How it will carry them through remains to be seen. We fear the result will not be so favorable or so com: fortable as the process of inflation has been, and that | many of the fine visions of profits will float away | into thin air. This, however, is a matter that may | not U& developed for weeks; and in the meantime we | must look to the position of outsiders, who ore holders to some extent of the principal railroad stocks operated in at the Stock Exchange. The proper point to realize is to outside holders of fancy railroad stocks the most important question for consideration. As a general thing, there are very few holders of this class of stocks, beyond the \'mits of the Stock Exchange who are not anxiously looking for an opportunity to sell when they can do so without loss. With many that time has arrived, and in many instances it has been improved. Every | advance approaches nearer and nearer the de- simed figure with all holders, and it is safe to calculate that every three or five per cent improvement in prices brings upon the street thousands of shares of this class of socurity. This unfavorable element the bull spec Tatot has to contend against, and the market has already become so much inflated, that the point for realizing has already been, for #0 many holders reached, and the difficulty of clearing the market of supplies of new stock must be very great. This is not only likely to increase, but another and a still greater difficulty is likely to arise. We allude to the Barry’s Tricopherous est article for dressing, beautify! serving and restoring the hair druggists, utter impossibility of finding new buyers at high prices, It has invariably been found a very easy matter to buy stocks, either for cash or on credit, and it never has been a very difficult matter to put np prices upon large daily purchases to almost any point desired; but it has, in every instance within our ex. , been the most difficult thing in the world to realize, to find buyers at high prices, or to get tid, at anything like cost, of the thousands upon thousands of shares accumulated during the process of inflation. This has in all cases been the cause of the break down in every combination, aud of the se- rions losses that follow. It trikes us that the bull stock speculators of Wall street are about en- tered upon this, the last phase of the movement, and that it will terminate as all others have before. If it does not, it will be the only exception within our re- collection. The steamship Atlantic at this port from Liver- pool brings ns four days later news. The advices in a financial and commercial point of view are highly important. The Bank of England has raised the rate of interest to ten per cent. The Bank of France has advanced the rate of interest to eight per cent— a point higher than ever hofore reached. ‘Those ovents, in connection with numerous heavy failures, produced quite # panic in financial circles. The sus- pension of Pennistoun, Wood & Co., with liabilities amounting to ten millions of doilars, created the greatest sensation. The failure of the Western Bank of Scotland is also announced. This bank has one hundred branches, and is said to be largely connect” ed with the American trade. The snspension of this bank caused a run upon two other banks. A large amount of specie had been despatched by the Bank of England to meet the demand. It was the belief in London that the rise in the rate of interest would prevent any profit on the exportation of gold to the United States. The Atlantic brings $127,929 in specie. The cotton market was vory much de- pressed, and a decline of one cent a pound is report ed. It follows, of course, that a very limited amount of business was transacted at the decline. Bread- stoffs were lower, and the demand not at all active. With such a rapid advance in the rate of interest, and with auch large failures, 60 ruinous to confidence, it must be expected that the markets for our staple exports and for merchandise generally will -be se- riously depressed. The failure of Dennistoun, Wood & Co. must fall, wo fear, with fatal effect upon many houses in this and other cities of the Union. As ex- change drawers they ranked next to Brown, Brothers & Co., and a very large amount of their billa must be afloat. The extent of their liabilities shows this. This failure must fill the minds of many houses here engaged in the import trade with apprehension, and create great anxiety regarding future arrivals from Liverpool. The advance reported in consola of one per cent is not at ail strange under existing circum™ stances. The general distrust in commercial affairs would naturally turn the attention of capitalists to government securities—hence the improvement in prices for consols. ‘The exportation of specie from this port during the past week has been us follows :— SHIPMENT!

Since the last statement the receipts have been large, and we should not be surprised to see a report of twenty- one millions of dollars in speoie at that time in the | bank vaultg. Such an accumulation cannot but be | very burdensome to the several banks, and must acd — very largely to the wrong side of the profit and loas | account. We do not see what stands in the way of | 4 general resumption of specie payments. We have | accounts from all parts of the country that | the banks of the different sections are only | waiting for the banks of tuis city to resume. The banks of all New England are ready to | resume in twenty-four hours after those of this city. The banks of Ohio are ready, also those of Illinois and Missouri. In New Orleans a resumption has already taken place, and all things have worked favorably. The buuks throughout the country gene- rally have new more specie in hand than at any time previous to the suspension, and there is no eut- side demand for it. The only infivence at work in opposition to the immediate res:mption of the banks of this city is the position of financial affairs on the other side of the Atlantic and the probable effect of ® serious and wide spread revulsion over Great Britain and the Continent. The managers of our bauking institutions may deem it the wisest policy to wait further developements from the money mar kets of Europe before taking such an important step, and that may be the safest course to pursue.

So far as the condition of the banks themselves is | concerned, there is no need fur a moment's hesita- tion. The epecie reserve is so large that no fears can be entertained of a drainage for any purpose, All apprehension of a demand for exportation has long since passed away, and there is very litle doubt bat that we can, at the worst, retain our California remittances. ‘The exchanges at the Clearing House for Satur- day were $11,719,820 47, and the balances paid $715,092 56, ‘The current quotations for specie are as follows: — Per ct, Eng. silver, £,.84 10084 76 American balf dollars... 104 American gold....%4 per et. “ quarter “ .. 102 Coined previous to 1853.

The Railroad Committee of the City Council, in connection with the City Attorney, made an official demand upon the company, the result of which is embodied in the fol” lowing report :— Your committee directed a letter to the treasurer of said company, a copy of which is herewith enclosed. The verbal information received from the treasurer of said company im answer was entirely unsatisfactory, con- sisting in vague promises that the company would finally pay the interest, and declining all defiaite action until the return of the president of said company ,a letter from whom, directed to Mayor Cross, has been since received, which gives no better explanations, and wherein it is only stated that the company are going to fund their floating debt, which arrangement wil' take them from thirty to forty days, and that by that time they hope jo pay (ho interest on the city bonda. This dereliction of duty on the part of said company makes it imperative on the Common Council te protect the city from apy loss arising therefrom, by selling so much of the securities of said company, now in the hands of the city treasurer, as will guftice to cover the interest now due, including cvsts and expenses. To attain this object, your committee recommend the adoption of the fotlowing resolutions :-— Resolved, That the treasurer of the city of Milwaukie, be and he is bereby directed, and he is required to ascer tain, at the expiration of thirty days from the first day of November, inst., whether the Milwaukie and Missisaippi Railroat Company Lave paid the interest coupons which matured on suid first day of November, on the Milwaukie city bonds, issued in pursuance of an ordinance entitled “An ordinance to authorize the issue of city bonds to the Mi Iwaukie and Mississippi Company, passed October 9, 55. Resolved, That in case said company shall have failod to pay said coupons at the time aforesaid, certificates for 3,250 shares of full paid stock, amounting’ to $325,000, iasued Decomber 24, 1855, by said company to the then treasurer of the city of Milwaukie, in pursuance of aresolution of the board of directors of said company, passed October 10,1406, as collateral security for the pur pose of Indemnifying and holding harmless the city of Mil waukie from any loss by reason of the non-payment of the principal or interest, as tuey become due on said city bonds, and in pursuance of the stipulation contained in tho same, said stock certilicate shall become forfeited and the treasurer of the city of Milwaukie shall then be, and he 1 hereby empowered and directed to give thirty days notice to company, and to advertise in at least two daily papers in the city of Milwaukie, and in the daily Herarp in the city of New York, that he will sell at public auction to the highest bidder, at the office of said Keane so many shares of the special certificate above referred to a will produce a sum sufficient to pay the amount of said interest in arrears, together with all costs and expense incurred by the city on account of the non payment of said interest. Resolved, That when a sale shall be made in pursuance of the premises herein stated, the treasurer of the city of Milwaukie shail surrender the above described certificate to said company, and thereupon said company shall issue to the purchaser or purchasers of said stock or any portion thereok, certificates of full paid stock in the usual form, which from the date of a and —_ — the holder to all the righta and privileges enjoyed by other stockholders; and for any portion of the stock unsold the said company shall be required to issue to the city of Mil ‘waukie a certificate similar to the oae above referred to in form and substance. ‘The report was signed by all the members of the Railroad Committee and the City Attorney. It was accepted with but one dissenting voice. In relation to these proceedings the Wisconsin says:— The default of the Milwaukie and Mississippi Railrond Company war brought before the Couneil last night, wud tho sale of sufficient stock to pay the defaulting intorost was ordered, but the Mississippi Company wil! pay.the in torest, They claim to have abundant moans from froight stored in their warehouses along tho line, but which freight the merchants to whom goods are consigned are not able to pay. The financial affairs of the city of Milwaukie are in good hands, and the prompt action of Mr. Comptroller Gardiner shows that nothing on his part will be left undone to sustain the credit of the city treasury.

The anction sales the present Week have been on 4 | reduced scale, and erally at low rates; | and with the exception of ono or two sales of some importance to come off next week, the season may he considered as having nearly reached its clove, , hastened, as usual, by the proapect of the closing of the canals, There has been the past season an over | importstion of shawls and scarfx, especially of the ( chenille class. Notwithstanding the heavy offerings at the auction houses, ¢ considerable amount of stock must remain over. There has been a great demand for all wool Saxony shawls, and the last sales made of good and desirablo styles brought improved prices. In silks and fancy goods the sup- ply has been in excess of the demand, and a good deal of the stock must go over. American staple cottou cloths have gained moro strength, and hold- ers look forward with more confidence to the future, and believe that they have passed their lowest | joint, and that “any considerable change i ereafter must be for the better. Owing to the de- | pression in the business of ready made clothing, woollen cloths suitable for manufacturing purposes were quite dull; and though the stocks of desirable | descriptions are not excessive compared with ordi- nary seasons, yet the trade ruled dull, and prices were suppor’ with difficulty. Manufacturers, in the ee summer, (when winter stocks ure usually made up,) not anticipating a panic in the autumn, overstocked the market. The consequences have been that many of them have been compelled to make forced sales at greatly reduced prices, while some few have been compelled to suspend. The change in the times has also affected the city tailors, who complain that their customers are in foo many instances economizing by wearing ont old clothes in- stead of replenishing themselves with new. This com- plaint, however, is less common as the winter weather advances, and orders for new onttits are becoming more common. ‘The city retail trade has improved the present week, and storekeepers have been well em- ployed, while jobbers have meaaureably ceased offer- ing their stocks by retail at wholgsale prices. There has also appeared more inquiry the present week for cotton piece goods for export, especially for Mexico and South America. The collections from the West, though slow, continue to come in rather more satis factorily, as the interior exchanges become better regulated. The auction sales of the present week embraced a sale on the 18th inst. of a catalogue of about 340 lots millinery goods, embracing ribbons; the latter were average, and sold low, while the more desirable lots of other articles were sold at fair prices. On the 19th instant, a catalogue sale of 347 lots of shawls was made which was well attended, but prices were low, though they compared favorably with previous sales, On Friday Stemr. Van Wyck, Townsend & Warrens held a catalogue sale of lace goods, curtains and French embroideries, of the manufacture of B. Kunz- ler & Rheineck, which comprised 629 lots, and on a credit of 4 months, for endorsed notex, payable in New York. The sale drew a fair company, ‘and the embroideries and laces sold low, though under the cireumstances they commanded fair prices compared with other previous sales, Curtains and curtain ma- terials were heavy, and several lots were passed.
