[From the San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 5.] ‘The reeeipt of the accounts of the financial distresses in the East, caused considerable excitement in this city yes- terday, which was augmented by the information that drafts forwarded to New York on the 6th September, by Sather & Church, had been protested. fl * * * Farly in the day quite a run was made _upon the banks of Wells, Fargo & Co., Tallant & Wilde, Fretz & Ralston, B.

During the day attachments were sued out against the well known shipping and commission house of Moore & Folger, hide dealers, to the amount of $35,000. It is thought, however, that the house will soon be ‘able to re- sume, their present difficulties being only temporary, and ‘occasioned by the failure of Willetts & Co., of New York. The house of Moore & Folger bears a high reputation for honesty and good business, and it is hoped that they may come out of their troubles Without serious injury. ‘The Treasury Compromise. [From the San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. ig! The Attorney General informs the Union that he was present when the first proposition was submitted by Pal- mer, and advised the compromise if it could secure the State from ultimate loss by Bates & Co. Some misapprehension existing about the position of the $15,000 mentioned by the Union, in its previous issue, that paper gives the following further fgures:— In April, 1856, Treasurer Bates paid to Palmer, Cook & Co. $88,000, to meet the interest due on State bonds in the succeeding July. They failed to pay it, but after the Treasuaer contracted with Wells, Fargo & Co. to pay the same interest, Palmer, Cook & Co. gave Bates a trace on New York for b osege which was handed to Wells, Fargo & Co., and by eoWecto1. This sum Bates failed to charge himself wit& when paid back by Palmer, Cook & Co. ; the Legislative committee very properly ordered it to be charged against Bates, and it es @ portion of the $48,000 for which he is a defaulter. This $15,000 Palmer declined to pay in the compramisa, as he had once it, and as it is not included in the compromise, still stands as a portion of the Bates’ defal- We are told that the State is to receive $236,000 in real estate to cover the following debts, viz: that due by Pal- mer, Cook & Co,, $88,000, less the $15,000 paid back to Bates; the $124,000 due by Pacific Express the $48,000 due by Bates, making— pany, and Palmer, Cook & Co....... $78,000 Pacific Express Company. 124,000 Bates’ deticit........... 48,000 Total... eee eseeeees coe $250,000 In these cases the Union does not thi State would ever, by suit upon the bonds of Bates, Palmer Cook & Co, , receive $50,000. From the properly she may realize $200,000, The indictment against Bates is in the hands of the court; it cannot be disposed of by nolle prosequi, ex- cept with its consent. (From the San Francisco Herald, Nov. 5.) Governor Johnson, Treasurer English, Attorney General Wallace, and District Attorney Hereford, says the Sacra mento Hee of the 19th instant, have been eagaged during ry portion of the two weeks just passed in cooking f settlement on behalf of the State with the above named parties. On Saturday last, in San Francisco, the matter was completed. The judgment against Palmer, Cook & Co., for the non- payment of the July, 1856, interest in New York amounts to some $75,000, and that against Bates for the money given Rowe to pay the interest of this year in New York, which he failed to do, is for $124,000. As security for the payment of both these sums to tho Stato, the State officers are to receive from Palmer, Cook & Co. real estate now valued at $235,000, but which it is thought will realize nearly if not quite the full amount of $200, in cash’ A board of appraisers, however, are yet to bo appointed to place a cash value on the property, and it is to be taken at their appraisement. As a part of the settle- ment, District Attorney Hereford, who is acting in this matter, by the aut \y of the Court, is to enter a nolle i in the criminal case against Bates, and Rowe is to — pt pete in Consequence thereof. is nelle prosequi cannot prevent any future grand ju indicting Bates on the criminal charge, if they shall ne At to do so, Although a prosecuting ollicer may at any time refuse to proceed against a prisoner, and cause him to be discharged, he is not therefore exempted from the crime in the eye of the law. ‘The News of the Massacre Confirmed—Pertis of the Emigrants—Complicity of the Mor mons with Indians—Waslike Prepars- tions of the Mormons—Declaration of Mor- mon Independence. ue [From the San Francisco Herald, Nov. 3.] We have dates from Los Angeles to the 24th of October, and from San Diego to the ith of the same month. The hews is exceedingly important. The rephrt of the late massacre has been fully con. firmed. number of persons slaughtered by the I dians wi . Great excitement prevailed in Los on the announcement, shortly after the receipt the news, that parties were in town who corroborated all the statements that had been previously made. A public meeting was called, and the persons referred to attended it and made statements—a condensation of which we give. Their names are Power and Warn. They had latoly r turned from Salt Lake City. Mr. Power, in his narrative, says.— We found the Mormons making very determined parations to fight the United States troops, whenever they may arrive. On our way if we met three companics of one hundred men each, armed and on the road towards the pass over Fort Bridger. 1 was told at Fort Bridger that at Fort Supply, twelve miles this side of Fort Bridger, there were four hundred armod Indians awaiting orders: they also said that there were sixty thousand pounds « flour stored at Fort Bridger, for the use of theirarmy. Wo found companies drilling every evening in the city. The Mormons declared to us that no United States troops should ever cross the mountains. And they talked and acted as if they were willing to take a brush with Uncte Sam. We remained in Salt Lake five days, and then pushed on, hoping wo might overtake a larger train, which had started ton days ahead of us, and which proved to be the train that was mas. sacred. We came on the Buttermiik Fort, near the lone cedar, one hundred and seventy-fives miles, and found the inhabitants greatly cnragod at the train which had just passed, declaring that they had abused the Mormon women, calling them w——#, &c., and letting on about the men.’ The had refused to sell that train any provisions, and told us they were sorry they bad not killed them there; but they knew it would be done before they got in. They stated Farther that they were holding the Indians in check until the arrival of their chief, when he would follow the train and cut it to pi@er. ‘The next place where we heard of the train waa on our arrival at Beaver, 280 miles from Salt Lake, Here wo learned that when the train abead was encamped at Corn Creek, which was thirty five miles back, and at which place we found the Indians fo friendly, an ox died, and the Indians asked for it. Before it was given to them, « Mormon re that he saw an emigrant go to the car- cass and cut it with his knife, and as he did so would pour some liquid into the cut from a phial. The meat was eaten by the Indians, and threo of them died, | and several more of them ware sick and would die. The people at Beaver seemed also to be meensed against the train for the same reason as before reported. 1 asked an Indian, at Boaver, if there was any truth in the poisoned meat story; he re- plied. in English, that he did not know; that several of the indians had died, and several were sick. He said their watermelons had made them all sick, and he believed the Mormons had poisoned the: On Friday, the 18th of September, we left Parowan, and asrived at Cedar City, some eightoon miles, about’ ono o'clock. During the an ex, arrived from the Indians, stating one of their warriors had rae and looked into the corral and he suj that ‘only five or six of the emigrants were killed yet.” These were the words of the ex] . The same night four men were py — tpt bd what was the fato of the train, and, as Pretended, to save, if possib! some of its members. al sd T omitted to mention, in the r place, t \ Dame, President of Parowan, informen te that ho steak, on the train commenced on Monday, the 14th of Septom- ber, Tasked him if he could not raise a company and out and relieve the besioged train. Ho replied that he could go out and take them away in safety, but he dared not—be dared not disobey counsel. On Saturday at 12 o'clock, we left Cedar city. About the middle of the afternoon we met the four men who Were sent ous the night previous retarning in a wagon, Matthews and Tanner held a council with thom apart, and when they left, Matthews told ine the entire train hat ‘deen cut off; and, as it was still dangerous to travel 1% road, they had concinded it was better for ua to pass tho spot in the night, We continued on, without much son- versation, and about dusk met Mr. Dame, (I did not know that he had left Cedar city,) and three coming from the scene of slaughter, in company with @ band of some twenty Indian warriors. One of the men in company with Mr. Damo was Mr. Haight, President of Codar city. Mr. Dame skid they had been out to see to the Wering ‘the dead; but the dead were not buried. From what I heard, I believe the bodies were left lying naked upon the ground, having been stripped of their clothing by the Indians These Indiaus had a two-horse ing I could not see, as ets were carefully spread over the top. Tho wagon was driven b; . him, there were two or three Indians in it. Many of them had shawls, and bundles of women’s clothes were tied to their sadiles. They were also well supplied with guns or pistols, besides bows and arrows. The hindmoat Indians were driving several head of the emigrant’s cattle. Mr. Dame and Mr. Haight and their men yeemed to be on the dest of terms with the Indians, and they were all in high apirite, as if they were mutually p! with the accom- plishment of some desired object. While in San Barnardino, I heard many persons expres gratification at the massacre. Atthe church services on Sunday Captain Hunt occupied the pulpit, and among other things, he said that the hand of the was in it; “whether it was done by white or red skins, it was right; the prophecies concerning Missouri were being fulfilled, and ai would all be accomplished. M ‘arn, in hia statement, says that on his journey through the settlements, which was a week or ten days sl juent to the passage of the murdered train, he everywhere heard the same threats of vengeance them for their boisterousness and abuse of Mormons and Mormonism, as was reported; and these threats seemed be made with the intention of preparing the mind to expect a calamity, and also when the calamity occurred, it should appear to fall upon transgressors as @ matter of retribution. ‘Mr. Warn says, according to his memorandum:—“On the 5th of September we eccamped at Corncreek. Here Thad conversation with the ladian Agent concerning the poisoning of the ox. He said that six Indians had died; that others were sick and would die. Upon one of them the poison had worked out all over his breast, and he was dead next morning, as reported. Afterward I con- versed with an Indian, said to be the war chief Ammon, who spoke good English. I inquired how many of bis tribe had died from eating the poisoned animal. He re- plied not any, but some were sick. He did not attribute the sickness to poison, nor did he give any reason for it. His manner and that of bis people towards us was nov only friendly but cordial; and he did mention the train which had been doomed. Breage Mormon train there were encamped at this place two or three emigrant trains, amonnting to fifteen or eighteen wagons, with whom the Indians were as friendly as with our: selves’? ‘One reason that may be assigned for the massacre of this train is, that it was known to be in possession of con siderable valuable property, and this fact excited the cu jy of the Mormons. It was said that they had over four hundred head of stock, besides mules, &c. They were well —— with arms and ammunition,an clement of gain which enters largely Mtoall Mormon calculations. The train was composed of families who all seemed to be in good circumstances, and as they were moving to Cali. fornia, their outfit indicated that they might be in posses- sion of considerable funds, The men were very free in speaking of the Mormons; their conduct was said to have been reckless and they would commit little acts of vio- lence for the purpose of provoking the Saints. Feeling perfectly safe in their arms and numbers, they seemed to set at defiance all the powers that could be brought against them. And they were not permitted to feel the dangers that surrounded them until they were_ cut off from all hope of rellef. MORE OUTRAGES ON THE PLAINS. Afew days after the above meeting took place, Mr. Honea, of Arkansas, arrived at Los Angeles from the plains. In the train in which he came they were subject- ed to constant and harrassing attacks from the Indians ever since (eof left Sait Lake City. They were behind the train which had been so cruelly massacred at Santa Clara canon, Two of the men belonging to the train which Mr. Honeaaccompanied were wounded in a 4 with the Indians, and 326 head of cattle driven off. No one who reads tho statement given by Mr. Honea, says the Los Angeles Star, can for a moment doubt the com- plicity of the Mormon leaders in these scenes of crime and outrage. The immense sums paid to the interpreters, and their refural to fulfil the terms of their contracts—not to say what is very plainly charged against them by our in- formant—that they conspired with the Indians to commit the depredations and outrages complained of—would alone aera ae of @ participation in these murderous as- saults. From the statement published by Mr. Honea, we ex- tract the following — With the exception of an attack by the Rappaho Indians, on the Arkansas river, on the 20th of June, on the com: pany of Capt. Henry, of Texas, who lost 151 head of cat- Ue, nothing of interest occurred on the journey, nor did they perceive any symptoms of ‘ition, or of armed bands, till they came to Fort Bridger, in Utah Torritory. Here they saw a large quantity of provisions stored, a considerable number of Indians encam; all round the of making parations to go out and meet General AG Per told by a merchant that at Fort Supply over 400 encamped, awaiting orders to ai- tack the United States troops. About thirty miles from Fort Bridger met three companies of men, generally mounted, and all well armed, having abundance of bag- gage, their wagons being numbered in messes. : THE ARMY OF ORSKRYATION. Hero had a convergation with one of the Mormon gol- diers, an Englishman, who camped with our company, and over the camp fire became communicative. He re- ferred in bitter terms to the treatment the Mormons had received in Illinois and Missouri, reflected on the injustice and tyranny of the people of the United States, and said that the time was come to geteven. He said they wero on thefr way to moet General Harney, to see what he was coming for:—If be was coming peaceably we will let him come; but if not, we will drive him back,’’ were tho words used, Another 5 Killion, an old man who lives about seven miles from Salt Lake City, spoke bitterly against the United States, denounced Judge Drum- mond and all the federal officers, and yo what the time had come when the Saints would be avengod on their enemies—that_ men were found who could face the enemy, and that Harney, with his 2,600 men, never would ‘enter Salt Lake City, H also stated that Go- vernor Brigham Young had ordered the le to prepare S ; that they should not sell emi- rants anything; that they must lay up provisions; that the men and women must not dress up in store clothes any more, but that all must be saved to forward the cause of the church against the common enemy 5 that the men must be content with buckskin instead of broadcloth, and have plenty of guns and ammunition. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. On the 17th of Aogust passed through the city of Salt Lake. Remained only three or four hours. Had a con. versation with a merchant—a Gentile—who stated that on the previous Sunday, Brigham Young had declared, in the Temple, that henceforth Utah was a separate and inde- pendent Territory, and owned no obedience or allegiance to any form or laws but those of their own enactment, and called upon the _ to stand together and su; him in maintaining the cause of God and the church. Was told that the house of Gilbert & Garrison had orders from Brigham to pack up and leaye before the Ist of November. ANS LEVYING CONTRIBUTIONS. Next morning the Indians sent down an order by tho Bishop of Beaver, demanding cattle from us. Whilst in consultation on this demand, intelligence was received that five of the Corn Creek Indians had come down, and the Bishop went off with the Indians, without waiting for our answer. Hore it was considered necessary to remain some time, agthe grass was good, and our men went up to the Bishop to obtain permission to stop, and also to have smithwork doue in the town. THR DEAD UNRCRIED. Dame advised us not to pass where the other train had been massacred, but to take @ left hand trail, which wo finally did, having first proposed to go and bury our de. ceased country men; but the interpreters objected, saying that the Indians would serve us the same way. Here we met the two horse thieves, the brothers Young, who stated that the Indians were very troublesome on the Muddy, and advised us to hiro additional inerpreters, expecially Hatch. We hired Hatch and four others, pay” ing them $500 in advance, Their contract was to come With us to the Cottonwood Springs. THE INTRRPRETERS LEVY BLACK MAT. While they were with us, they made us give beeves to the Indians on tho Santa Clara, and advised us not to twear before the Indians, as they would know us to be Americans, and probably kill us. On passing down the Rio Virgin we had to give more deeves to the Indians, who stole a horse from one of the company. We lost several head of cattle; Hamblin, the interpreter, sent Indians to search for them, who drove them back to Hambiin's house, other cattle strayed off, and were Immediately killed by the Indians. On the Vir gin, Mr. Samuel Weeks lost 50 from his wagon. A thorough search was made in the train, but it could not be found. The opinion was that the it had stoten it, ae most of the company knew of the money being there. A man named Lovett joined us here, who had no ostensi. ble reason for coming to us. He lived with Hamblin, and it waa the opinion of the company afterwards that the plan was concocted here between Hamblin and Hatch for our robbery. ATTACK RY IYDIANS—LORS OF STOCK. Proceeded about eight or ten miles along the canon. The cattle were in advance of our wi about half a mile, The cattle were stopped to enable the wagons to come up. While waiting, observed Hamblin on the top of the hill, apparently looking for Indians, He came down from the bill, and by this time the w: is had joined the advance party, and the train moved on. Befere this, however, Hamblin had a conversation with a young In: dian who accompanied us from the Muddy, and who Rmet out to him where the Indians were located. hen we started on, the Indian asked for water; there was none in any of the vessels, and he then ran in advance of the cattle and gavea whoop. The yelling then becamo general along the hills, where previously we could not per- ceive a single Indian. At this time, three of the four in. terpreters who remained with us were in the rear of tho train. The other advised the captains to fall back and leave the cattle, and guard the with the wemen and children, This was done, wi & large body of Indians, over two hundred, made a descent on the cattle, and ran them om, to the namber of 326 head and five horses, Some of the Prepared to fire on the Indians, but the interpreter prevented them, saying wo would ail be killed. He then rode in the Indians and soon returned, saying that they had sent word if we wanted to fight to come on, He waa requested to goagain to the Indians, when he asked to exchange an old gun for a valuable navy revolver. It was given him. He then started off, in company with some of the train, on th. con- dition that, if danger threatened, he would fire the pistol, whjch would be the sigual for thean to return to the wa- ru .. He fired the pistol—all the interpreters left ain, and were not again seen. siilint ‘THE MURDERED 5 ‘The train which has been so cruelly massacred was uD der the charge of in Baker, familiarly br wong “Uncle Jack,” from . wards and WiRiam Baker, son of known to have been in the train.

Mr. Honea says that in coming into San Bernardino, about fifteen miles the other side of the sink of the Mo- have river, he met the mail wagon for Sait Lake City, having a large quantity of pistols and ammunition. The driver wished to purchase arma from the party, but they refused to sell. To give an ideaof the fraud and extortion practised by the ‘mons on emigrants, Mr. Honea states that their company paid to interpreters, six in all, the onormous sum. of $1,815. The duty performed by these gnides and in- terpreters was to conduct the company from Cedar City to Cottonwood Springs, a distance of not over three bundred mil yet this contract was not fullilied, although pay- ment was made in advance. THE MORMONS AND THE LATE MASSACRE. {From the San Francisco Herald, Nov. 5.} Three emigrant families arrived yesterday in Sacra mento, by the Carson Valley ronto. They report, says the Union, many sad evidences of outrage aud murder at different peste along the route, part'culurly in the vicinity of Goose - Near this creel their attention was at tracted by the apnearance of a human foot protruding from the ground, and on examining the spot the remains of three murdered men were found buried only three or four inches below the surface. Upon another grave there lay two dogs, alive but much emaciated, and £0 per- tinacious in retaiuing their lonely resting place that uo effort could entice or drive them from the spot. Their master was, most probably, the occupant of that grave, and their presence there, under such circumstances, was a touching exhibition of canine instinct and devotion. A few miles further on, they came upon ano- ther scene of murder, where upon the ground wore strewn a few bones, and also knots of long glossy hair, torn from the bead of some ill fated woman. Near by were the remains of three head of cattle, with the arrows still sticking in them. Reports brought by these families tend strongly to cor- roborate the suspicion already existing against the Mor- mons as the instigators, if not the perpetrators, of the re- cent wholesale massacre of immigrauts at Santa Clara canon. Mr. Pierce, who came by way of Salt Lake, and joined the other two families at the Sink of the Humboldt, reports some five hundred Indians encamped near Salt Lake, who, as he learaed from the Mormons, were retain- ed as allies to operate against the troop’ sent out by the government, He was also assured that these Indians bad been instructed not to molest the emigration this year, as preparations were not sufficiently complete toenable the Mormons to make a stand against the United States, In the city itself large crowds of Mormons were nightly pragtising military drill, and there was every evidence of energetic preparations for some great event. Before his family left Salt Lake vague declara- tions of a threatening character were made, to the effet that, next year, ‘the overland emigrants must look out;”’ and it was even insinuated that the last trains this year might be destroyed. From the Mormon train which re- cently left Carson Valley, and which these families met ‘on the Way, similar statements were vaguely communi cated, one Mormon woman even going so far as to con- gratulate an old lady in one af these families upon her safe arrival so near her destination, and assuring her that “the last trains of this year would not get through 30+ well, for they were to be cut off.” We give these state- ments as we received them from members of these fami. lies, and, admitting their correctness, which we have no reason to doubt, they certainly will’ go far to confirm a terrible suspicion. [From the Alta California, Nov. 5.] ‘The most important items of news ‘by steamer is the display before the public of a large amount of evi- dence, going to show that the party of one hundred and eighteen immigrants, massacred in the southern part of Utah, while on their way to California—news which occurrence was sent from here by the last mail—wore murdered by Mormons. Mr. George Powees arrive! a few di ce at Los Angeles, from Salt Lake, and re- ports having heard many Mormons threaten to kill Gen- Ules passing through their country. He met a mixed party of Mormons and Indians going toward a Mormon settie- ment from the scene of the massacre, and they had in ion bundles of clothing and other articles, appa- rently the spoil of the murdered; and tho whole party ‘appeared to be on very friendly terms with one another, ee in high yy i. Mr. Powers also states that ino kine. B. M, Warn «ame through about the same time with Mr. Powers, be- jeves lso, (som numerous facts observed by him,’ that the Morinons are guilty of the bloody crime. Messrs. Ab- dott and Fine, two gentlomen who havo lately boen at San Andre, from the Humboldt river, report great hostility on tho part of the Mormons towards the immigrants com. ing to California by the South Pass, and great friendship with the Indians, who had made attacks on immigrants. Both Mr. Abbott and Mr. Fine know of cases where trains were attacked in the Mormon country, by Indiana led on 4 numerous white men, supposed to be Mormons. Mr. Abbottsays five hundred immigrants have beon killed this year on the road between Salt Lako and California by Indians and Mormons, but this estimate i certainly very much exaggerated, News from Carson Valicy. By a telegraphic dispatch to the Sacramento Union, dated Placerville, October 18, we have the following late and exciting intelligence from Carson Valley — Crandall’s stage arrived yesterday evening at half past two o'clock, with a full complement of passengers, mail and express matter. From W. W. Smith, who came passenger, we learn that an express messenger, Wm. Morehead, arrived at Genoa five minutes previons to the leaving of the stage, with news from Honey Lake Valley. A large number of Pitt River Indians came into the Valley, joined with the Washoes,and commenced steal- ing’stock, vegetables and other provisions. Their numbers are #0 great that the whites are destitute of the means of protection, and fear for their lives. Mr. Moreland asks aid from the Superintendent of Indian Affairs in California immediately, and warns parties intend ing to move into the Valley with families this winter not to risk their lives by Fo doing, The delegation appointed from Honey Lake Valley to attend the meeting at Genoa, on Wednesday last, were revented from coming by the Indian difficulties. Mr. lorehead left at a late bour on Tuesday night, and rode through to Washoe Valley without halting. Kirk’s train arrived here this evening. New Territory. [From the San Francisco Herald, Nov. 6.) Some two months since the residents of Carson Valley held a public meeting, at which they resolved to memo: rialize Congress for the erection of anew Territory east of the Sierra Nevada, including that and several other valleys at the base of the mountains. On the 3d inst., the residents of Honey Lake Valley held a meotingand endors. ed this action of their Carson Valley brethren. This design is to include in this new Territory the great basin between the Goose Creek range of mountains on the east, and the Sierra Nevada on the west, and between the Ore gon and Utah line on the north, and the Colorado river on the south. Both the meetings referred to elected Judge J. M. Crane their delegate to lay the subject before Congress. The Honey Lake Valley people resolved that if any attempt bo made to bring them under the jurisdiction of California, before the boundary line between this State and Utah has been officially surveyed, they will resist it, with all the power they can command. A committee been ap- pointed to ask the Legislature of Califoania to code and transfer all the State's interest to all lands lying east of the main Sierra Nevada to the United States government, so that theirs may be established on the other aide.

Sather & Church, bankers, of this city. The advices received per John 1.’ Stephens, that some of the drafts of the house had been dishonored in New York, induced some parties to put attachments upon the house at @ late hour on Monday nigbt. Those attachments were, however, immoe- diately paid off, and the bank openedgas usual, for the transaction of business on Tuesday morning; but the de mands of depositors, before 10 o'clock, wero 80 urgent, that the stock of coin was exhausted, aud the irm were compelled to close their doors. ‘The stoppage of Messrs. Sather & Church will be felt as & very serious inconvenience to the mercantile commu nity, a8 it was almost the only banking house which af- forded facilities in the way of discounting business paper. There was little or no disposition manifested to withdraw deposits from the other banks, evidencing a strong belief in the public mind that they are solvent. What effects the financial crash in the East are likely to produce upon California romain to be seen, and we need not discuss them. One result thus far has been to retard bhi of goods hither, which is beneficial. © Suspension of operations at the Branch Mint, in this city, on the dist ult., has, of course, tended to make bars plenty, and they have been sold at our quotations below. In bullion we have to note that the market was swept of Mexican doubloons, for shi to Manilla, prior to the arrival of the John L. Stephens, and from 145 a 6 per cent premium on $16 was paid. The Stephens brought a con- siderable quantity of Mexican doliars, sales of which were made at 16 per cent premium In stocks little bas been done during the fortnight. A gale of $10,000 City 6°s was made a few days since at 55. We annex our] usual list, which has been carefully re- ined vised. With the excey of some operations of magnitude in raw sugars abd foreign rice, the ‘past fortnight fas. beon very barren of interest in a business point of view. The jobberr, as a general thing, have bought sparingly of groceries and | provisions, for the simple reason that the requirements of their country customers Lave been small, and necessitated in only a few particulars fresh additions to stocks, The general impression seems to be that during the present month more goods will be called for from the interior, but it is the equally generally re- ceived opinion that it is idle wo an “ae tive fall trade,’ or that, in other words, the country dealers will come forward for supplies to last them through the rainy season. In the first place tho facilities of communication are now such throughout the most set tled portions of the State that goods can be transported thither in the worst weather at moderate rates of trans. tation, compared with the high tariffs of former years; Bence, thore ia comparatively little inducement to ‘lay in winter stocks, except in remote lovalities, In the next place the country traders cannot buy goods upon an inded) nite credit, ‘eo? at convenience almost, as they did two and three years ago. In the same propor- tion that the city jobbers, either through choice or necessity have curtailed their current indebt edness to the commission and importing houses, have the credits extended to the country trade been con: tracted. It is only in exceptional cases uow that # bill ‘against a country trader is permitted to run over thirty days. Itis this buying only for immediate wants by the city and country trade that has steadily checked speculation this year, under what at former periods would be termed very favorable auspices. In fact, business here seems at last to have reacbed the common sense basis, and we doubt if anywhere else in the world supply and demand regulate prices with less interruption from outeide influ ences than they do to-day in San Francisco. Under the present condition of affairs it ia obvious to the plainest a, that shipments of merchandize to this mari movitably end in loss; rates profitable to the importer or shipper now only rule for articles of which stocks are well nigh exhausted. If three or four months supply of an article scattered among a score of hollers, = buyers seem to think they have a natural right to have their wants sup- plied at 10 a 20 per cent below the cost of importation, and if their ex in that respect are not realized, they retire from the market, or buy from hand to mouth, anti! holders give way. In view of these facts, we think it will be admitted that the fleet on the way from Atlautic ports as we write, although less than half as large as was that advised at ‘the corresponding period last year, will yet keep us amply supplied with goods for current require. ta. excess! ‘ket = must mente.

There is no later news from India, and no general news © importance from any part of the world. the financial advices brought by the Fulton, although Mo; 30 exciting as those of the Vanderbilt, are neverthe- legg of absorbing interest.

The Bank of France, as was angicipated at last advices, had announced its determination to immediately extend its issues. The rate of interest at Hamburg had reeeded, the last quotations being 915. Notwithstanding the improvement in the English money market, there had been several heavy failures in various branches of business in Great Britain. The more promi- nent of these are the following:— Jellicoe & Wix, merchants, in the Turkey trade; Jose, P. R. Sa & Co., in the Brazilian trade; Bardgett & Pickard; liabilities £1.0,000; Hoard, Boxon & Co., in the Swedish trade; and Edwards & Metthie, East India and colonial brokers, of London. ‘The Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Bank had stopped payment. Great excitement existed at Wolverhampton in consequence. The liabilities of the bank are estimated at nearly haf a million pounds sterling. Several won manufacturing firms had called their creditors together for the purpose of trying to make some amicable arrangements, in order to avoid, if poesible, a full suspension, The failures of most note in Paris are those of Borden, Dubint & Co., and Heusote, Philippe & Viber, ‘The Cunard steamship Europa, from Boston, via Halifax, November 4, arrived at Liverpool on the 16th, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
