The Paraguay Expedition. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger. t Onrre> Srares Baio DoLrum, RoapsTkaD, BUENOS AYRES, Doc. 23, 185! Our rendezvous, the ad Buenos Ayres, is situated on left bank of the de Ie Plata, which, considered reference to the tional amount of water it dis- = ne into the pote a Second or third in size in the World. {t is one hundred and twenty miles wide at its mouth; seventy miles up, at Montevideo, itis fifty-five across; and at Buenos Ayres, one hundred and twenty miles beyond Montevideo, it is thirty. Fancy the expres- sions of “urprise with which they welcomed it who were | strangers, Carambal what a river! Puenos Ayres is the capital aud emporium of the repub- lic of the same name, now an independent goveroment, Dut a few years gince '& province of the Argentine Confe- | deration, or Republic of the Ts Plata. The Confederation still incOrporaies all the other provinces excepting this west of the river Parana, and those of Entre Rios and Cor. rientes on {ts bank. Mr. Yancy, our newly accredited Minister, was received on the Ist inst., at ite capital, Pa- rana, by the President General, Urquiza. Spanish jour- nals take occasion to compliment most highly the atdross | of our representative, The name Ia Plata is not applied to the river, in which we are now anchored, more than thirty miles above Buenos Ayres. At this point it is cousidei ed to be formed by junction of two rivers—the Parana and Urvguay—which had run nearly parallel ‘or four hundred miles, about half that distance apart, the easternmost giving name to the little repablie of Urugua cailed Bunda Oriental, of which Montevideo Dank of the estuary of the La Plata, is the tract between these rivers co tes the provinces of Entre Rios and Corrientes, already referred to.

Until recentiy, these neighbor Powers were loud in praise of los Norée Americans, (the North Americans.) You must remember that these folks are exceedingly jealdus of the title Amerionn, and take con siderable umbrage at our assumption of such a national designation. Untila few weeks ago they spoke highly of us, but their tune has since markedly changed. One knows not whether it is the sympathy of blood that opa- rates to enlist men in the cause of their persecuted conge- mers, or whether they are jofluenced by the threats of ‘wholesome chastisement which our journals unreservedly ise to al! the insignificant republics of South and Central America at the hanis of the present expedition, and which are translated into good Spanish and circulated thronghont these countries as fast a8 each mail arrive Certain it is that, whereas a month ago we could have en- Tisted ten thousand volunteers in this one Slate for service against Paraguay, it is now probable fullas many will be i to assist her. Strolling along the strects one’s ears ure often saluted by anything bot complimentary refe- rences to the filitusteros of the North, and anything but healthful prayers for their future. ‘And yet, perbaps, there is less war talk here than at home. Shore folks look tous for news, and we inquire from them. Rumors emanate in plenty from both sources, and doubtiess of equal reliability. Some are bellicose— some are mili—others non-committal, Some thin': Lopez will yield after an expenditure of bravado; and others ask whence is he to get that $900,000 of damages. He paid the Frevch claim, but that amounted to a few thousand dollars, and even’ then be made a virtue of bis compulsory yield, by boasting that it was beneath the dignity of the Tepublic of Paraguay to discuss such a trifle, He is doubt- less tmoaking a show of geiting ready for resistance. On the 18th a Buenos Ayrean government steamer sailed up the Parana for Asuncion, Waded, it i3 said, with chains for obstructing ihe Paraguay, and one very handsome war steamer, the Rio Blanco, contracted for in Eng Jand, is shortly looked for. Consideratile curiosity is evinced to know if we will prevent her going up the river, and no little wonder expressed at our indifference. Betwixt ourselves, however, many a paternal heart of @ur squadron that bas throbbed at the mention of mcreas- ed pay by act of Congress, would throb quite es violently at the idea of hoisting a conquering flag over a new steam- er filled with the contraband of war. During the past month Lopez bas written considerable bravado through the columns of his official organ, El Seminario. Shall I quote some of these fulminades, and scare the wives whose lords are absent here? His Indian Donship is in- Guiging in some bold talk and gives vent to Spanish scur- rility, which sounds bad indeed in an English dress. Ho, or rather his journal, dilates about the degeneracy and Diackguardism of the present American Congress; but this, it must be admitted, is based on articles translated from New York papers. It intimates that the claim upon Para- guay ofthe American Navigation Company is a shallow myth, and that our government has mere'y on it as a pretext for extorting money from the Paraguayans; and it adds that Buchanan, whom they do not even dig: nify with «ttle, is to bea sbarer in the spoil. Then there are references to the “notorious criminal, Thomas Page,” reflections upon the character of our whole race, and afterwards a final burst of bravado, as is instanced in the following extract of a closing paragraph of one of these editorials:—*A refusal must necessarily follow such aciaim, since we are already informed of its ultimate tendencies. The natural consequence is war, for which the republic of Paraguay is fully prepared.” This flow of insult may as well be checked; and whatever be the on of folks here or eleewhere as to the validity of the claim of Mesers. Hopkins & Co, upon Paraguay, the ma- jority are doubtless satis‘led that we have cause sufficient Yor war in the insult to the flag when the Water Witch was fired into at Itapiru, and the hard talk they are now fool- ishly disseminating. Tt is almost a pity that we ever meditated an interfe- rence with these people. The poor fellows have quite as much as they can do to quiet their ever boiling over state of revolution. The Confederation has just suppressed a revolt in one of its constituent provinces—San Juan— where a most worthy ruler, Goneral Benavides, waz bru tally tortured and murdered: and as this country is itself a successful revolter from the Confederation, considerable gympatby was expressed for the effort of their imita- tors in the far northwest. Now rumors are rife that a quadruple alliance has been effected between Bra- wil, Paraguay, the Oriental Republic (Uruguay), and the Confederate Provinces (Argentine), for compelling the submission ‘of Buenos Ayres tothe federal authorities. ‘The most of these reports have no other origin than the device of some broker, who, finding business dull at the Bolsa (Exchange), seeks to create @ panic and canse a demand for bis onzas. The only fact that gives color to thie report is the consummation of a commercial treaty between Brazil and Uruguay, by which the latter is ex- empt from certain very onerous duties. Sach a result must be deprecated, since this is undoubtedly the most flourishing State in South America. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL 8 Moxpay, Feb, 21—6 P. M. The bank averages, made up this day, compare as fol- lows with those of the previous week :— Week end. Loans. Specie. Circulation, 1$120,106,318 25,419,088 7,872,441 « 127,476,495 26,544,955 7,766,868 Deposits 80,346,818 80,026,257 820,461 $1,629,823 s 925,867 The increase in specie is fully as largeas was looked for; Jess gold must have gone to the interior than was imagined. The decrease in loans is not quite fully up to the public expectation. It was asserted in the street by bank euthorities that the decline in the loan column would be fully equal to two millions of dollars. However, such as ft je, the statement is a satisfactory one, and if the banks continue the policy it indicates all will go well with them. But there should be no more expansion, We are enabled to quote a decidedly easier money mar- ket among the brokers. Moncy has been loaned to-day at 434 per cent, and we hear of offers below that figure. At the banks there is still a disposition to maintain the rates; ‘ut come of the more enterprising institutions have been in the market to-day seeking investments at very mode. rate figures, It need hardly be remarked that the appa- rent impossibility of maintaining money at a rate neigh- Doring on seven per cent arises less from the superabun. dance of the supply than from the absence of demand. ‘With the exception of the dry goods merchant, the other importers are doing #0 moderate a business that they need very little aid from the banks. As for the brokers, it is only when they are buying freely for outside clients that their demands for money become pressing; at the present time, no one is buying stocks, to speak of, and the brokers are refusing cheap loans, not because they are too dear, but because ‘they don’t happen to want money at any price. These are the reasons why money, after rising to an average of 64 a 7 per cent, has now declined to 434 a 5}g. No one who bestows careful glance on surrounding events can regard this relapee as permanent. It is evidently a mere reaction from the late rise, and must goon be followed by a fresh *pasm. During the week ending with last Saturday, the Prevalence of westerly winds retarded the arrival of a whole fleet of merchant vessels laden with European goods; hence, the duties, instead of amousting to a mil- Hon, as they should average at this season, were less than half & million, and the banks are so much the richer. This or next week we vhall have an enormous number of ar- rivals, and thé amount paid for duties will probably ex- ceed a million a week. Within the ensuing three weeks, moreover, the banks will be called upon to pay $5,000,000, the balance of the loan. Several new loans, some from States, some from corporations, will likewise presently come into the market. Should Congress suspendthe pre- sent tariff, the payments for duties would be eo much the larger. Altogether, signs are not wanting to show that wo shall have, before many weeks clapse, a much more active money market than existed ten days fince; and no prudently ‘managed institution will suffer the present accidental re. Jaxation in rates to betray it into the delusion that money 4s again going to rule permanently below six per cent, There is very little doing in foreign exchange; bankers 105,583 NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1859. continue ‘to hold sterling at 1093) a %{, and francs at 5.1234 a 15. Commercial bills—which are scarce—can be Dovght at the usual reduction, ‘The stock market was dull and inanimate this morning, and the business done was moderate in amount. The tendency of prices among the public securities was toward & decline, A sale of government fives, for delivery fortnight hence, was made at 10234. Many persons in Wall street seem to expect that Congress will not renew the Treasury notes, and that Senator Hunter’s original plan for funding them—which would undoubtedly save money—will be adopted. Others, again, feel satisfied that even if the Treasury notes are funded, if the present tariff be not altered the government will require a fresh issue of ten millions of five per cents; and it is imagined that some such measure as a Dill authorizing @ new loan to that amount may be passed at the close of the sossion, Any fresh issue of United States securities would of course tend to depreciate the stocks now in circulation; abroad, the rate at which the Austrian loan is selling is not calculated to encourage hopes of successful negotiation there. State stocks were also a fraction lower this morning; Virginias and Missouris fell off 44 @ 3%. There were hardiy any transactions in railroad bonds, City and municipal bonds are reported by the brokers dull and slow of sale, Among the speculative stocks the tide of feeling sets an improvement in the most promising among the stern railway sbares, It is understood that the earn- ings of February show an increase over February, 1858, ou the Rock Island, the Galena, the Michigan Southern, and the Iinois Central; and speculators, arguing that as scon as business does revive, these roads must recupo, rote, and the stocks which represent them must rise, have been for come time quietly purchasing moderate lote. There has been no outside buying thus far; and so far as we can learn, the bulls inside the board have shown marked prudence in their purchases, But that many leading operators who have here. toiore been identified with the bear interest are now quiet but steady buyers of the most pro- mising Western shares there can be no doubt. Nor can it be reasonably questioned that, if business should re- vive, Rock Island, Galena and Michigan Southern pre- {erred would very soon feel the beneficial effects. Lilinois Central is affected partly by the accounts of increased earn- ings, and partly by the prospect—which is very strong— ‘that the company will obtain the balance of the expected loan ($500,000) from England. Reading was lower this morning. No reliance, whatever, we imagine, can be placed on the published reports of earnings or business on this road. We give them to our readers, in default of more reliable statements; but they must read cum grano. The Reading, with a capital of $25,000,000, is doing less business and at lower rates than it had when its capital was only $18,000,000; but the skill shown by the Philadel- phians who operate in the stock invariably enables them to beat the New Yorkers. New York Central is quiet and neglected; the deliveries on Wednes- cay will be made without difficulty. We hear from parties connected with the road now in town hat the abrogation of the October compact is now ad- mitted on all hands to be necessary. When the Erie will start the five dollar trains is not yet known. Coal stocks rather reacted to-day from the late rise. Considerable anxiety is expressed by parties in the coal trade to ascer- tain the Snancial position of the Delaware and Hudson Company. In afew days the new report will be issued. It will contain, as usual, a statement of the year’s busi- ness. May we suggest that it would be more instructive if it also stated the amount of stock issued and the amount of funded and floating debt. No one questions the sound- ness of the company or the integrity of the managers; but these are matters on which it would seem that the public ig entitled to some information. Cumberland was lower today. At the second board the business done was quite moderate, but on the whole prices were a shade better. Ilinois Central was the sub- ject of some sharp contention between the bulls and bears, The market closed steady, the following being the closing prices:—Missouri, 845; a —; Canton, 20 a 34; Cumberland, 23% a 5; Pacifle Mail, 7934 a %; New York Central, 78% a %; Erie, 12% a %; Hudson, 3214 a 24; Harlem, 18 a 34; Reading, 492¢ a 60; Michigan Cen tral, 6084 a 34; Michigan Southern, 17% a 18: do. guaran- teed, 44% 04534; Panama, 115% a %; Ilinols Central, 69% a %; Galena, 69}; a 54; Cleveland and Toledo, 31 a 1° Rock Island, 61% 062; Milwaukie and Mississippi 1244 a; Ca Crosse and Milwaukie, 1a 3.

Messrs. Morse & Co. have reorganized their stock bouse under the name of Morse & Wolff. The same partners re- main in the firm. The Cincinnati Commercial of Saturday says:— It is stated that J. H. Riemar, one of the heaviest provi- sion dealers in Baltimore, or indeed upon the seaboard, is in the reeeipt of letters from Clarke & Co., of Pittsburg, agents of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, agrecing to take four hundred tons of freight from Terre Haute, In- diana, to Baltimore, via Pittsburg and Harrisburg, for sixty cents per hundred pounds, being five cents below the regular tariff agreed upon at the St. Nicholas Hotel be- tween the four Atlantic lines. The meeting of railroad presidents to consider the above and other infractions of the October compact takes place in this city on Wednesday. ‘The following is a statement of the earnings and expen- see of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company during the month of January :-— From freight.. $55,904 07 From passenge + 60,169 83 Frorn mail, + 4482 20 From rent of road 5,500 00 Miscellaneous... 100 00 Total $116,156 19 « 98,735 83 Increase (22 6-10 per cent)......... days Expenses, Conducting transportation, $18,565 97 21,420 37 Motive power... 80,450 03 Maintenance of cars, 9,271 92 Maintenance of way, 24,534 05 General expenses, 5,039 44 $88,461 41 Expenses during same month last year....,... 68,562 51 Increage......66 oe Net earnings in January, 1859.

There debts, including the interest on the mortgages, were all paid out of the earnings at the early part of the year, and thus afore- closure that was threatened prevented.

This road has connee- ions at Cleveland with the Cleveland and Toledo and Cleveland and Erie; at Pittsburg with the Penngylyania Central, at Wheeling with the Baltimore and Ohio and Central Obio, and at Steubenville with the Steubenville and Indiana roads. Thus there is a through line from the West to New York and Philadelphia, shorter than any other, by the way of Pittsburg; a through line to Balti- more and Washington by way of Pittsburg and Wheeling; & through line by way of Pitteburg and the Eastern cities to Columbus and Cincinnati, and a through line to the Northwest by the Cleveland and Toledo road, The report states that the road is 206 miles in length, besides sidings, with an excellent road bed and superstructure, fully equipped with locomotives and cars, having a large busi- ness in coal and other freight, with a passenger travel ex- ceeded by few roads in the West, and which must be in a few years immensely increased. From a revival of the kencral trade of the country, and the increased business in patnengers and freight which must flow to this road from ite many connections, the stockholders may expect ‘at an carly period to be remunerated for thelr investment. ‘We read in the Pottsville Miners’ Journal :— iron are tiver, coups what they paid with w order to compete with fore gn iron 11 of course must continue until the p otective established.

Now that we have reached the time when trade and commerce reeovering from the paralysis of 1867, show signs of re’ vival and activity, we enter upon another contraction, artificially created, as was that of 1867, by previous undue expansion. Ite duration and extent are questions of mach interest, and worthy of careful consideration, Its necessity is un- doubtedly occasioned by the same causes that have eo often produced like effects, and need not at this time be considered. Banks never contract voluntarily, and only from necessity, Contraction once entered upon becomes aimost immediately uncontrollable, Like the sliding snow on the mountain side, its power increases as it moves, until it becomes the mighty avalanche, too often crushing down all before {t into the valley of bankruptcy. In 1857 the loans and discounts were contracted in ten weeks $25,000,060, and $2,000,000 more in the six weeks following the suspension which was caused by that con- traction. Until the Inst of those trying ton weeks the variations of the specie reserve were emall and unim- portant; and had tho banks during that period seriously attempted to stem the torrent by an expansion, as was proposed, they would only bave precipitated the final catastrophe and have received greater injury. The banks after losing in the previous three weeks four millions of coin, have last week gained back $900,000; and baying bad the highest discount line ever before reached, find It neceseary to contract to enable them to check the outward flow of coin, and to meet the increased demand about to be made on them. Within three weeks they will be called upon tofarnish $6,000,000 for the balance of last 6 per cent government loan, probably at the rate of $1,000,000 per week, $330,810 having been paid in to-day. ‘The duties, which yiclded to day $133,000, will probably be $700,000 or $800,000 per week, perhaps a million, and the exports of specie will perhaps be about as much—in all sboat tp o len miiions 9 ory within Ls is 6 month, during w! rome may recelv from California’ Iris not unlikely that, too interior ‘wil foon want somo coin, and it that govern- ment will have to borrow in some fem. Conan mil- therefore a moderate estimate to say that within sixty days the banks will be called upon joo, ten mil- lions of dollars more than will arrive from California with- in that time. To contract to that extent, with a more ac- tive demand for money than there bas beon at any time since the fall of 1857, and that sure to be increased by the necessities of the spring business, how just commencing, will not be easy or pleasant, but prudence will demand it. ‘The banks seem to entertain the views which we have ex- pressed, by their having followed 4 this week the con- traction eptered upon last week. jeir specie strength bas been i 1-10 per cent of their liabilities; and are copsequently nearer that pont considered secure by the py New York system recommended by the Board of Currency, namely: Once and # balf capital of $68,020,850... ....$102,030,525 Specie...
