That seotion of the puliaing fronting on Pear! etreet was loaded wiih floar and bos and was supposed to bave been capable of suste'ning al! the goods that could be stored ia it, At the time of = thes accident’ «there = were = 12,000 barrels of flour on storsge, which was placed on the dif- ferent floors with the view of eeseming the pressure a2 much as poemible, The architect caleulsted that the premises would coptain 20,000 barrels with perfect safety, but the occurrence of yesterday showed bow greatly be was mistaken. There were 4 number of laborers in fhe building at the time of the accident, but they all managed to mske their Peape into that part ofthe structure fronting on White- bay street before the final crash took piace. The alarm eipg raiked & Dumber of Citizens flocked to the ecene of ‘ne disaster, and Koon afierwards the First preciuct po- hive, under the command of Captain Silvey, appeared upoo the ground. Upon exemination, it was found that a portion of the wail had fallen into the yard of the tenement house No 20 Pearl wtreet. injorug the qirl, Catharine Kane, at niready alluded to The tenement house in queatlou was cecupied by some eighty persons, and their escape from the failing wail seems miraculous, considering tbe ueture of the aonident. The injured girl heard the crack ‘ng of the beams before the walis fell out, and boping to cscupe from the impending ruin sbe ran down the cellar wey, Dut before she bad proceeded many steps the wali come dow with s beavy craeb tn7 formed au arch over Abe apot where rhe had enroonoed herself. After considerable exertion on the part of the police anc ome citizens the girl was rescued from her perilous pesition, and removed to a pince of safety ihe unfortunate child wee found to be severe \y bruised apd cat, but she railied soon after breathing the freah air, and gave evidenee of re tnrpieg animation. A physician was promptly in Atiendence, and everything waa done to render the con dition of the wounded as comfortable as pres bie The police, fearing tbat a seooud crash would take place, and that there war nome danger of the roof of ine tenement boure being crushed tp, gave orders to she oc Cupants to quit the premises. A good deal of troabie was experieuced in g the tenants out of the build ing, rome preferring to remain and take the risk rather than leave their little stuck of forniture behind them; bat eventunily the piace was cloared. and a squad of patrol. mn wae placed around the building 80 as to guard agaiusi their return A number of builders subsequently examined the ruins aud the geveral conclusion arrived at was that tre walle were eptirely inavfloient in strength to bear the weight iwposed upon them The cutting through of several doors in the walls, after the building bad been put up, i ale) supposed to bave weakened the structure to some extent - ‘The accident ie similar in many respects to that which occurred ip Broad street last vear when Keot & Lo bers’ warehs tnmbled to the sidewalk aot k lea two Later in tbe day Sergeant Lord, of the , made @ complaint agaivet Mr. R. f.

It ie impossible to quote any improvement in the demand for paper; first class short bills cannot be passed under 12 per cent. On call the supply is fully equal to the wants of the street; some houses have heavy balances over. But capitalists are very unwiting to deal in second class paper. As a general rule, perhaps, the feeling among mercantile men improves. Peo- ple are beginning -‘o think that one of the chiet causes of the recent panic was the evidence of the strength of the country, furnished by the state of the foreign exchanges. From the South the ad- vices are a shade better. There is more currency for bills at Mobile and New Orleans; rates range from 10? ty 169¢ for decumentory hills. From Savan- nab and Charleston the private le‘ters are gloomy; the merchants seem to expect no relief until the banks suspend. At Charleston it is understood that the banks bave followed the example of the banks of New York, avd placed their specie ina common fund The difficulty there, however, arises chiefly from the extended circulation of the banks; the State Bank, for instance, has ten dol- lars of paper out for each dollar of specie. Under the cirenmstances, it can hardly be expected that billbolders will refrain from demanding specie for their bills. The stock market is dull, and prices for the day are steady enough. United States 5's sold at a de- cline of 4 per cent; State stocks were about the same as yesterday. After the morning board an exaggerated version of the excitement at Charles- ton reached the street, and @ ramor of a collision between the United States troops and the people of South Carolina was generally cir- entated. It did not affect prices materially, however. An impression pervades many minds that prices have been knocked down low enough antil some new event occurs to shock confidence stil! further. In the afternoon business was limited and prices lower. Comparing the final quotations of the day with those of yesterday, we note a decline of § in Tennessees, j in Central, } in Hodson River, 4 in Reading, 1 in Michigan Cea- tral, | in Panama, | in [inois Central, | in Galena, 1j in Rock Inland. Pacific Mail advanced 1j. The prospect of increased dividends on this stock is tempting capitalists to purchase at the present unusually low price. At the close of the day the market was dull, the following being the quota- tions:—Virginia 6's, 78 a 80, Missouri 6's, 69 @ 4; Tennessees, 764 & j; Canton Company, 14/; Cam- berland Coal preferred, 9; Pacific Mail, 80g a 814; New York Central, 74 @ 4; Brie, 28} a 4; Hudson River, 43; Harlem, 14 @ jo. preferred, 324 « 4; Reading, 34 ® |; Michigan Central, 494 a 60; Michigan Seathern and Northera Indiana, 1440 j; do. guaranteed, 390; Panama, 113} 4 115; [liaots Central, 57f @ §: Galena and Chicago, 62] a 63; Cleveland and Toledo, 27 & 3; Chicago and Rock Teland, 624 a4; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 69 a 70. Governor Gist, of South Carolina, recommends in hie message, transmitied yesterday to the Legis- Jature of South Caroliva, that endeavors be made at once to open a direct trade with Burope by eliar tering a large steamer, freighting her with cotton, and sending her direct from Charleston to Liver pool. It is intimated that by thas taking the initis tive in this matter of direct trade, Charleston will assert ber supremacy over the other Southern ports, The move would undoubtedly be a good one. It ie the interest of the North, as well as the South, that the large quantity of cotton now lying st Charleston should be sent for #ard to market soon a8 possible; and though it would cost some- thing considerable to send it by a steamer char- tered here for the purpose, if cotton advances at Liverpool the operation might not involve a very heavy loss after wil) We dare say that the agent of the Rothschilds or the Browns would be willing to advance three-fourths the value of the cotton op receipt of the oilts of lading. There never kas been any obstacle to the establish- ment of foreign trade at Southern ports, Charles- top alone last year exported nearly $16,000,000 worth of domestic pradnee, If she only imported #1498 635 of foreign goods, the reason was simply that the bulk of ths goods consamed by the people of Seuth Carolina were more cheaply imported via New k then they cowld be vie Charleston. Governor Gist is not satiafied with this, and want to incresse the foreign trade of Charleston, How can it be done? Bitker, on the one haed, trade must be taken away from other Soathern ports, and the exports of Charleston thus increased, or some tax must be levied upon goods importad from the North, and thas Southern consumers compelled to import direct, We onderstand that both these projects are in contemplation.

New Orleane +e kt is believed that, by taking the lead in the matter of secession and direct foreign trade, Charleston would get the bulk of this export business, and that while the exporta of Savannah would probably de- cline to seven or eight millions of dollars, and those of Mobile to fifteen to eighteen, those of Charics- ton would increase to thirty-five millions aud over. With regard to importa, it is understood to be the purpose of the Southern secessioniste to dispense with all customs duties and to provide the ex- penses of their government by direct taxation. This would throw difficulties in the way of the im- position of duties on foreiga goods imported via New York. How conld such goods be subjected to a discriminating duty if there was no revermue service in the seceding States? But if this difficulty were obviated, and some means discevered of tax- ng in South Carolina foreign goods imported via New York, it is evident phat the tax would come out of the pocket of the consumer. South Carolinians would pay just so much more for the sake of get- ting their goods direct to Charleston, Where would be the gain of this? Why should the people of the cotton States—already taxed heavily for the sup- port of an independent government—be still far- ther burthened by a tax on every article of foreign manufacture consumed by them, in order that Charleston may be built up as a Southern New York? Why should they not be permitted to buy their goods where they can get them cheapest? The Chemical Bank did not join the other banks in the arrangement made the other day for the ex- pansion of bank discounts. Action was taken on the subject this morning at the Clearing House. The following is the official report of the matter: Ate meeting of bank officers of the city of New York, duly called at the American Fxobapge Bank, 00 Tuesiay , the 27h day of November, 1860, the following report was submitted, viz — Naw Your, Nov. 22, 1860. committee sppointed to walt upon the two banks wach ‘were pot represented wt the meeting of bank ff) cere beld om the ist of November, and to invite their copeurrence in tbe agreement then entered into by all \he other banks in the city of New York for the relief of the business community, by * the extension of loaus and aiscounte, aud for the purpose of faciiitating the settle ment of exchanges between the banks,” fret called oa tbe Presicent of the Mercantile Bank, woo very promptly ‘ud cordially agreed to enter into the agreement.

In reply the Chemical Bank simply states that it will continue as heretofore to receive on deposit the bank notes and certified cheoks of the other city banke, We presu ne tha: the assoviated banks will reconsider their action before very long.
