The week ending yesterday witnessed a pretty genera] curtailment of business, in consequence of the prevailing political anxietics, The Castom House figures, which we subjoin, do not convey an idea of the movement that js proceeding among merchants, Every one seems impressed with the idea thet, whatever comes of the present Southern imbroglio, bnsiness {s irreparably injured, and the prospects of the spring trade, which were so bril- Kant a month ago, are very gloomy indeed. No merchant of pradence will order large consignments of spring goods under present circumstances;it will be well, indeed, if the houses engaged in the Sonth ern trade can weather the storm as it is. Not a few Southern houses will act upon the suggestion ofthe South Carolina Legislature, and take this pportanisy of repudiating their debts. T following are the tables of the trade of the port for the week and since January 1: imvorrs For the woek 1558 1860 1989. ry goods. 3570906 = 945 594 1,248. 874 Gen'l merchandise 2246913 1,598,009 (3,085,931 Total for the week $2917 819 2.483,000 | 4,834,805 Previous y report'd.126,204 602 202,443,365 195,008,256 Simce January 1.9180122,981 204927,008 202, Exrorts or Proocer axp Man 1 1869 For the week $870 510 1.980 549 reported £2,985.469 65,043 087 dary 1..805,870,019 56,823,016 Excomns oF Syace. / 1853 1859 1880 For the week S181 081 1.519.673 105 4 Previous'y reported 28,674,608 64 808,502 Since January 1. $20,858,749 65,828,286 The banks will probably show a loss of specie to-morrow, as their depositors have been sending money freely to the South. Their last statement showed an average specie line of $22,1%4,994—a decrease of $603,008 from the week previous; at the corresponding date last year they held $20,228, S42 in coin. In view of the heavy shipments of Produce, and of the condition of the foreign ex. change market, our banks can afford, without risk or fnvonve their specie lise to rua down to $15, » between this and New Year. We vena ec or four millions every De- smber to the South, which comes back to us in the course of the early spring months; the uneasy ondition of affairs down South renders it peculiarly desirable that our remittances at present should be prompt and liberal. The public need be ander no apprehensions as to the South drawing our specie from us. The debt of the South to the North is probably never less than ten times the amonnt of gold which we are likely to send to New Ovicans. The Sub-Treasury contiaues to gain money; the balance last evening stood at $5,738,740, ag 6. & the cl of last week, and $4,808, rresponding date last year. The bank discounts will probably show a curtailment to- morrow. The last average was $125,224,594, an increase of $1,871,958 from the week previor At the correspoming date last year the banks had aned $120,118,037. The withdrawal of deposits, in consequence of the shipments of gold to the Sout! ybak ave admoaished the banks to stop the expansion which be a fortnight since. The oneasiness in financial and commercta! circles, consequent upon the political sgitations at the South, has at last affected the money market, \d we note a marked advance in rates since last week. Call loans on good stocks, with a wide mar- gin, are still offered at seven per cont. But very little paper, indeed, cowld have been passed yoo terday at that rate. We quote, at present, the best short paper, 8 per cent, and first class 4a 6 months, endorsed, 9410 per cent. Names not generally known go at all kinds of rates—1 per cent a month being a fair average for good names. The advance in rates is due, o any increase in the demand, or diminution in actual supply, bat to a feeling Of panic, which induces lenders to withdraw their funds from the market. Should the present an- easiness subside, money would rapidly fall in pri and the market would resume its wonted aspect of We have to report a firther teoline fa foreign exobahge.

At the current rate of foreign exchange, specie can be profitably imported from Great Bri- tain. It is hardly likely, however, that the ex- periment will be made.

The traffic on the railways continues to satiafy their friends, and the general commercial prospect would seem bright enough were it not for the black clond which overhangs the South. Both branches of the Legislature of South Caro- Ina have now agreed upon the 6th of December as the day oa which delegates are to be ele2ted to the Digonion Convention, and on 17th December as the day on which that Convention is to meet. A simi- ler convention is to meet in Alabama; but whether the-proslamation summoning the people to elect delegates will be isened before or after the aseem- bling of the electoral college remains a matter of doubt. It is telegraphed from Georgia that a con- vention will be called in that State also; but as we hear simultaneonsly that the Legislature bas acted upon Gor. Brown’s recommendation to tax the prodncts of States which have nuilified the Fugitive Slave law, the announcement must be received with caution, the two remedies being to some extent inconsistent with each other. In contrast with this intelligence, we learn from Washington that the President is in receipt of letters from leading men inal! the South- ern States, expressing abhorrence of disanion; while, on another side, Mr. Lincoln is said to be overwhelmed with applications for office from Southorn men. Whether these conse:vatives and office seekers will be able to control their reepec- tive States, in opposition to the disanionisis, when the question of disunion is fairly sanbmitted to the people, remains to be seen. The interest of Geor- gia and Alabama is so obviously on the side of Union that one would suppose that in those States the task of the Union party would be easy; but it is very difficult to be sure of anything when popular passion and popular prejadice are fairly aroused. One point may be considered as settled: the United States will not oppose by force of arms the secession of any Southern State. If South Carolina solemnly decides, by popvlar vote, that, in her opinion, her interests would be safer out of the Union than init, the people of the United States will part company with her cheerfully. The day has passed for the coercion of independent communities by force of arms. If she will go, no one here will try to hinder ber. There has been an attempt to cast censure on the President for not strengthening the garrisons of forts Moultrie and Sumter; but why should he do anything of the kind? If South Carolina goes ont of the Union the forts will be of no use tows; if she stays in, why disturb them? if she thinks it would do her any good to occupy the forts, what harm could it do to us? We have seen nothing thus far in the reports of the proceedings of the Legislature of South Caro- lina on the subject of the fimancial arrangements of the new nation which it is proposed to create. A motion has passed Uic State Senate to appropri- ate $100,000 for arms, and the suggestion has been made—informally, we presume—that Northern debts should be repudiated. Neither of these measures, however, will provide the new nation with the means that will be required for its start in life. We showed the other day that at least ten millions of dollars will be needed immedia‘ely to porchase the radiments of a navy, arms and ma- terial of war, to pay for United States forts and other buildings which South Carolina will have to purchase, and to equip and pay the military, na- val and revepne service which she will require. Where is this money to come from? It is not likely thet South Carolina, as an in- dependent State, could sell any bonds here or in London. The experience of the Texas bondholders would operate es an insuperable bar to any tuch negotiation. South Carolina enjoys a good credit at presemt; her five per cents are at par, or nearly so; but her stated. men must remember that secession involves a variety of possible contingencies, su as war with the United Stotes, servile Inenrrections, &c., &e., which would be pretty certain to defeat the sale of any new bonds she might issue. It may be within the knowledge of the South Carolina lead ers that Europeans, who have lent and lost so many millicns of doil Northern and Western railways, have always been shy of Southern rail way bonds; the reason is obvious, and would ope- rate with new force iu the event of disunion. The taxable property in the State of Soufh Carolina was valued, at the time the last census was taken, At $288,257,694, of which abont 175,000,000 was in slaves. What partof this property would be taxed to raise the ten millions of dollars that would be required during t t year of independence? Obviously the most available scheme for raising the money would be to pledge the annual cotton crop, which may this year be worth $25,000,000, as much of it is Sea Island cotton. An arrangement might be made bere or in London by which bilis drawn by South Carolina against fatare shipments of cotton would be accepted and paid. Of course the partics accepting these bills would expect to be paid for their risk; the cotton wonld have to be shipped to them atten or twenty per cont below its market value, and the planter would have his re. medy for indemnity against the State. There are parties here already who are on the lookout for some such operation as this. Meanwhile we are sled to learn that the report of the resignation of the Collector of Charleston is untrue, and that the resignations of the United States Judge and other officials are not to take effect till they have been accepted by the President—an ovent which may probably be de ‘erred till sth March or thereabouts. In the meantime it is vainto disguise the fact that the commerce of the South, and of all parties connected in trade with the Sout’, stands in a po- sition of great danger. A panic is in full blast in the Southern cities—a panic without «obstantial basis, but pone the jess formidalle on that a2count; @ panic which, if it be not allayed, will destroy oe half the mersantile houses and more than half the banks in the Southern States before the winter is out, and create @ great deal of trouble in the North also. At Charleston business of all kinds is suspended; and while tho mercantile men ap- pear to be engrossed with consiforations of flags and cockades, a bill has been introdazed into the Legtlature to authorize the banks to suepend spesie payments, and the credit of the Charleston banks is already gone. At Savannah the mer- chants evinoo more coolners and judgment, but among the people scarcely lees excitement pre- valle, A: New Orleans the banks refuee to nogo- tiate che amoal @xty day bill refoee to bay the beet sight bills on 3 Yors above 14 per cent discount.

New York banking houses, distrustful of the pending agitations, de- cline to buy at all for the present, Planters are tunable to send their cotton to market, or, when they have sent it to market, cannot get the money for it. Merchants owing money to the North can- not pay their debts. This is as far as the thing has gone as yet, The next steps in the course of events will be anopen quarrel between the mer- chants and planters of the South on one side, and the banks on the other, ending, of course, as the like quarve] ended here in 1857, in a general rua on the banks, and their forced suspension. Then would follow a general liquidation, and an enor- mous depreciation of property, including State stocks, which are largely pledged as # banking basis throughout the North. It is safe to say that if this panic be not ajlayed, it will do as much mis- chief ae the total failure of a cot:on crop. Some relief will be afforded when the remit- tances of gold which have been forwarded to New Orleans reach their destination. About @ million as been sent, and more will go. Our banks can well afford to spare four or five millions, and from present appearances it will pay handsomely to send gold for the purchase of cotton bills on the North. Less than this sum would probably restore the equilibrium, and set the wheels of commerce im motion afresh. Some good might be done by a mariifesto from Mr. Lincoln, specifying the princi- ples cpon which his administration will be con dnoted. As he has been elected without doubt, there would now be no impropriety in his stating in clear, candid manner whether this distrast of him which prevails at the South is well founded or not. Where millions of property are at stake, it is pusrile to talk about the restraints of etiquette, as considerations of dignity. Financial distarbances, growing out of political alarms, are no new thing either in this country or in Europe, and no monarch or minister has ever been blamed for seizing the first opportunity of checking panic bya frank ex- position of bis intentions and his policy. Mr. Lin- cola would do himself credit, not injury, byspeak- ing ont, promptly and frankly, in this conjuncture.
