SSE EEE FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. epiestntehent Waxowmapay, Nov. 30, 1859, Xt was announced this morning that the negotiations be- tween Commodore Vandorbilt and the Paciflc Mail Siean- sbip Company were broken off, on the point mentionad in this morning’s Henavp, The Commodore desired guaran- tees from the individual directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company against the renewal of competition; ‘this Mr, Aspinwall and bis associates refused to give. Another application by the Commodore for discriminating ebarges in his fayor on the Panama Railroad in the event ‘of an opposition line being established was likewise re- fused. On this Mr. VanderDilt’s representatives with- drow tho offer to purchase, and thus, for tho present, the negotiation ends. It seems singular, to use tho mildest term, that the directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany should haye expected to close the bargain with Mr. Vanderbilt without giving him guarantees against oppoei- tion. He guaranteed them against opposition under tho oid arrangement, and a guarantee clause of the kind is neual in deeds wheres, lino of steamers or vessels is pur- chased. Without such a guarantee, in fact, Mr. Vander- vilt would have made tho worst of bargains in giving $2,000,000 for seven old steamships, not worth, at most, ever a million. In ordinary cases, it is the vendor who @varantees his purchaser against opposition; in this case the vendor was the Pacific Mail Company, which was going iato liquidation and out of existence on the consumma- ion of the bargain; the guarantee, therefore, was natu- rally sought from the individua) directors, from whom alone opposition was to be expected. In refusing to grant this, the leading directors of the Pacific Mail Company ave laid themselves open to the charge of having meant nothing serious in the late negotiations. We should be glad to know that this chargo was unjust; but on the face ‘of it it Is plausible, and it ia likely to be generally enter- tained by the public, especially by that unfortunate part ef them who bought Pacific Mail stock at 90.2 93, on the strength of assurances by the highly respectable Pacific ‘Mail directors to the effect that the difficulty with Vanderbilt was adjusted. The stock opened this morn- ing at 84, declined to 80% at the close of the first board, rallied to 8244 between the boards, in the afternoon fell off again, and closed at 80 bid. The recovery in the mid- @e of the day was due to a rumor that the negotiation would be renewed. Business on the Stock Exchange continues active, espe- cially in the Western stocks. Rock Island was very buoyant this morning, advancing to 6634, and closing at 5% bid; Galena was lower: it closed at 725¢ bid; tho Michigan shares were steady; Illinois Centra) declined ‘234 percent, onthe news of a fall of 3 per cent in Eng- land, The business of the Company does not justify this decline, which is due to the fears of an early assessment wext year. Panama was rather lower. There was quite ‘en active movement in bonds; in the event of a general recovery of the Western country, some railway bonds, now very low, will advance rapidly and largely. The Erie securities are quieter; the business of the road is said to be good. In the afternoon, to-day, the market was rather lower, and stocks closed weak, at the following quota- dons:—Missouri sixes, 843; a ; Canton Company, 17 a 18; Cumberland Coa) Company preferred, 13; Pacific Mail Steamship Company, 80 a 14; New York Central Railroad, ©1% 0 74; Erie Railroad, 9% « 34; Hudson River Rail- road, 404 a 41; Harlem Railroad, 9X a 10; Harlem Rail- road preferred, 96 8 }; Reading Railroad, 80% a 40; Michigan Central Railroad, 413; « 44; Michigan Southera and Nortbern Indiana Railroad, 73< @ 5; Michigan South- ra and Northern Indiana Railroad guaranteed, 18% a 19; Panama Railroad, 132\{ a 3;; Illinois Central, 56a 0634; Galena and Chicago Railroad, 725 a %; Gleveland ‘and Toledo Railroad, 20% © 3%; Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, 66% © 66. ‘ We understand that negotiations are on foot bet Commodore Vanderbilt, the government of Nicaragua and our government, and that now it rests with the latter to say when the transit route across Nicaragua shall be reopened. The Commodore offers to open it, and to pay Nicaragua a handsome sum for the privilege of navigating her waters, 80 soon as he shall obtain security for the lives of his passengers and the property placed within the grasp of the Nicafaguans. He does not seek, and will mot accept, an exclusive grant, but desires only permission from Nicaragua to navigate her waters concurrently with ‘as many others as may wish to do the like, Thus far, Nicaragua has shown no disposition to accede to his de- mands; indeed, the government of that country seems to de in the hands of individuals who, like the Japanese, ob- ject to commerce and commercial intercourse. Whether ‘the government of the United States will submit to see a Japan within a few hundred miles of our borders, and on ‘the highway between our Atlantic and Pacific possessions, remains to be seen. It is in the highest degree to be re- gretted that so excellent a transit route as that across Nicaragua abould have so Jong remained closed, and the commercial community hope that no exertions will be spared vo reopen it at as carly a day as possible. The money market is active, with, however, but little ‘ebange in rates, Some of the discount brokers report an advance of 34 per cent on short paper, and a fair demand for money on call at 6 per cent. Other houses again re- port the market as easy as yesterday. It would be gratl- fying to know—as may be inferred from many indications— that the banks are pursuing a conservative course. ‘There was nothing done in foreign exchange two-day. ‘The steamer from Boston took out no specie. ‘The following table wilt show the price of sight bills on New York at the cities mentioned :— ‘Chicago. St. Louis. , Gold, it must be remembered, is worth 13g per cent premium,at Chicago; so that the 2 per cent premium above reported ag being paid for sight bills on New York is only exacted when the bills are bought with Illinois currency, 4. ¢, bank bills which are at @ discount of 1}¢ per cent in the place where they are made. How can a thriving commercial city like Chicago tolerate such a monstrous state of things? ‘The foliowing is the condition of the banks in the four Jeading cities of the Union, as shown by their last atate- ments to hand:— Circula’ Peres tts isa Gae Kath a8 Heigors 4s goyr one 19,756,184 13,226,366 9,787,424 $230,609,523 126,957,032 40,426,114 27,558,966 ‘The above shows a heavy falling off in specie and depos- jis, and a reduction of a milfion in loans. All the cities are Josing specie, but the greatest loss is in New York. New ‘Orleans will not probably fall mach below twelve millions. ‘The specie in the four cities is now lower than it has been ‘at any time since the panic.

So much has been said on this sub- ject that it seems like a hopeless effort to endeavor to con- trol shippers. We have been compelled to write in the game tenor it this year, and if their interests have suffered, the fault lies elsewhere than with authori- ty from this side. The are 80 obtuse as to fail to appreciate the magni- ficence of the schemes of those who supply California so erously, and at present they look on, wondering whe- er bade oped or oi a nee eigen Cs) people give out, these now the only alter- natives that present the prospect of a change. ‘The following, if reliable, is of the highest importance. It js likewise from Coleman's circular:— E; ‘Within the past month our resources in regard to the recious metals have assumed a new and most interesting Feature. ‘We say our resources, though properly speak- ing the new developements have been made rather be- yond our border. We allude to what has been called EO noe inappropriately, however) the Washoe diggings. these valuable mines, rich both in gold and silver, lie on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, in about Jatitnde 30 deg. 25 min., distant some ten miles from Washoe Val- ley, Nevada Territory, and eight miles from Carson river. That is to say, the main discoveries have been made in the locality named, though indications are favorable to the conclusion that much of the adjacent hg for many miles in extent, partakes Jargoly of an auriferous and argentiferous character. At Virginia City, or Silver Hill, as it is variously called, mines have been opened, as yet ‘but afew hundred yards in extent, which yield al- most fabulous amounts of silver, and in some instances of gold, to the ton of ore. These metals are found in the same vein, and mingled with each other in irregular pro- portions, some ore yielding about one-half of each, while other specimens are principally of silver, generally about three ts of silver to one of gold. One assay of ore is locality yielded per ton $2,939 in gold, and $2,857 in silver, while some b! sand from placer ings ad- jacent yielded $3,000 in silver and $300 in gold. The mine now worked is owned by a company, the agents of which in this city are Donald Davidson & Co., who are part owners. Judging from the announcements of the in- terior preas, we infer that some forty tons have already deen arded to this city, afew tons of which have been shipped via Panama and New York to Havre, for analytical examination. Tho assays made in this city leave no doubt that the ore will yield from $3,000 to $6,000 per ton. We lear from reliable authority that from seventy-five to one hundred tons will have reached this city before the inclemency of the season will have si pended At the mines some rude efforts at ‘smelting the ore have been made, which have proved suf- ficiently wine gia A to warrant the parties concerned in ert prosecuting the undertaking, and thus economizing on the cost of tri tion to this city, which at present is about $700 per ton. ‘The Washington Constitution says:— ‘We.compile from recent French statistical reports the fol- lowing comparative exhibit of the amount of taxes levied by the French government on one of our leading staples during the first nine months of the years 1859, 1868 and 1857. It would seem almost incredible that, in this en- lightened age of the world, any government would im- ~ such onerous taxes upon a leading staple of a nation like ours, that proffers commercial reciprocity to every flag; but that so enlightened and liberal a government as that of France should annually levy a tribute of some twenty-six millions of dollars upon the tobacco producers United States would be incredible if we had not official custom house evidence of the fact. We need not arsuge our readers that every effort has been made, and that every effort will still be made, by the present ‘administration, to effect, on a basis of mutual advantage and fair reciprocity, a reduction of these op- reasive exactions, if not an entire abolition of the to- co monopoly system in France; and when it is borne im mind that every article of French industry—agricul- tural and manufacturing—is admitted into the United States, and Ginds among our consumers a free and unre- stricted markct, the aur) ig that the goverment of France has not, before this, yielded to the persistent ef- forts of our government to the commercial relations of the two countries on a footing more consistent with the liberal spirit of the age, and certainly more advantageous to both governments. ‘The following is # comparative statement showing the amount of indirect taxes in France on leading items during the first nine months of 1857, 1858, 1859 :-— Hteme comporing the in- direct taws as affect fercign commerce. 168%. 1858, 1859.
