Bardgett and Picard, | corm merchants, whose suspension was announced on the jath ult, was held this morning, when the following un- favorable statement was submitted :— The habilities are stated to be £85,142, and the assets £16,166, exclusive of £1,425 anticipated surplus from the realization of securities held by creditors, and property of the valne of £9,824, at present in dispute. The debts toa firm in America amount to £38,646, and are estimated to | produce £10,000; but this is contingent upon tho satisfac | tory carrying out of an agreement entered into by Mr. Wallace, a debtor for £26,000, and other circumstances ar: out of the American crisis. The capital of the firm on the Ist of January, 1856, was £24314, but in this sum Mr. Wallace's debt, at that period not so large as at present, was in- cluded as good. The cause of the failure was stated to be losses from bad debts and depreciation in property. No proposition was made on the part of the in- Folvents, aud it was resolved to appoint three creditors to inspect the state of ailairs, the meeting being adjourned for a week. The meeting of the creditors of Messra. Hoare, Buxton & Co., appointed for Friday, is postponed to Monday, the 14th, in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Coleman, who has personally attended to this estate. A meeting of creditors of Mr, C. F, Perry was held yes- terday at Wolverbampton, when a composition of 88. in the pound was accepted, payable in four instalments, ex- tending to February , 1889. ‘The liabilities were stated to amount to £55,527, the assets being estimated at £34,7 LETTER FROM OVEREND, GURNEY AND COMPANY.

KUSSIA INVADED BY THE MONEY PANIC—EFFECT OF THY AMERICAN CRISIS ON TRADE IN THE CITIRS. {Berlin (Dec. 7) Correszondeuce of the London Times.] ‘The disturbing influence of the American panic has at length extended as far as Warsaw, as we learn from the latest advices from that place As it appears from the ac- counts they contain, the effect there partakes of what has characterized both this place aud St. Petersburg. While there bave been plentiful failures there of manufacturers and others carrying on business with borrowed or wsuf- ficient capital, there bave been as yet hardly any suspen- sions of payment by bankers or merchants of importance, nor bave acknowledged good investments, such as govern- ment funds, suffered a depreciation of more than two or three per cent, as has been the case here; on the other hand, there bas been an extreme demane for specie, proba- bly for exportation, as has been the casein St. Petersburg. For silver, in exchange for Russian or Pelish bank notes, as. much as Sper cent premiatn has been paid, for gold even 15 percent, and, strangest of all, Prussian money, whether in cash or in'good bills on Berlin or Breslau, commanded a premium of 18, 20. andon one day 22’ per cent. This latter ve: y singular apparition is probably con- nected with the Prussian prohibition of ail foreign notes circulating in Prussia after the lstof January, 1858, 30 that such persons as have to make purchases or payments in this country find themselves henceforth obliged to pro- vide themselves with Prussian money; and a3 Warsaw derives very considerable supplies from this country, per ticularly in the winter, and the excellence of the late har- vest bere has prevented much grain from being put in Poland, it would be natural enough that the money- changers in Warsaw should just now experience an unusual demand there for Prussian money. The Polish Jews, who in Warsaw more than any where else have possesion of the lower strata of the money world, had also taken advan- tage of this general demand for specie, and had absorbed into their own hands almost the whole of the silver small money necessary to the daily wants of the circulation, thus compelling the whole buying and selling communit; to pay them from 4 to 5 per cent premium for small change. The fall of the house of Joel, im Dantzic, had palled down several dealers m grain in Wlozlawek and some in aid of houses their difi- | few houses in Warsaw, at the bead of which may be mentioned the bankers Herrmann Meyer, Konitz & Co. Of several other houses it is said that they have been ehaky, and that others have sought and fi asmintan There bave deen lots of bills protested, and there hat been numerous instances of time being allowed, & The Baok of Poland had also taken a step charac- terized in Warsaw letlers as a very wise and & dent one, but the wisdom of which passes my Le. comprehension ; it had taken steps to buy ap its « otes abroad, and this was said to have had the | effect of reducing the premium on gold and silver, In tho Volsh capital also several or the first bankers had met together and proposed to borrow of the Bauk 4,000,000 florms on their jomt security,to be advanced to certain bankers of the second class who required a litte blster ing up, but this proposal has been rendered futile ty the opposition of two gentlemen at the bead of a largecom- mercial house there. From St. Petersburg we bear nothing as yet of fainres caused by the American, Englieh,and German pone] the prices of goods generally bought by English hoes have experienced some depreciation; and as regards m. orts, there is no willingness to purchase at preset, rom the impression that with so great a demand for money in London and Hamburg the prices of ove- sea goods will necessarily come down rery 200. One of the worst effects that this destruction of con- mercial credit in diferent parts of the world was expected to produce in St. Pelersvurg was, that dt woul Fright private persuna away from investing their capital in con mercial enterprise and thus annihilate (he small commen ment that Russia had already mate in this direction during the past twelve months. ‘be subscription that has been opened among the Ft lish residing here, im Berlin, was yesterday closed, the amount it has produced, 512 thalers, remitted to Foy. land; of this sum, ever, no lees than 350 thalers been ibnited: Lord and Lady Bloomfield.

The returns show an increase of more than 6,000,000f. in the metallic reserve, as compared with the preceding month, and of nearly 3,000,000f. as compared with the corresponding period of last year.

Considering the extent of the United States frontier, extending from Maine to Florida, and across the continent to the far west and to California—considering also the exist- ence of the Mormon revolt—common sense would seem to dictate that the proposed au; tation is a measure based upon the soundest views of policy. In defensive or ag: ive wars, the government of the United States has never felt the want of a large standing army, because the people, influenced by a feeling of patriotism or a love of adventure, have vo- lunteered by thousands into the service of their country, and have generally made gallant and effi- cient soldiers.
