2 ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE. wee ARRIVAL OFTHE MARATHON, Another Advance in the Bate of Interest by the Bank of England. Effect of the American Crisis In Europe. LOUIS NAPOLEON'S VIEW OF SECESSION. Proposed Withdrawal of the French | Fleet from Gaeta. INTERESTING LETTER FROM GARIBALDI. AFFAIRS ON THE CONTINENT. DECLINE IN CONSOL COMMERCIAL &., ‘The Cunard screw steamship Marathon, Capt. MoArthur, from Liverpool at two P. M. on the 8th inst., arrived hero carly yesterday morning. ‘The political and general news is of no interest, but in financial sense it is of much importance, On the 7th inst. (Monduy) the directors of the Bank of England suddenly and unexpectedly advanced their minimum rate of discount from 6 to 7 per cent. ‘The effect of this advance upon tho funds was scvere, caueing a fall in consols of 34 a 5; per cont—the closing quotation on the 7th being 91% tor account. Railway stocks, both British and American, wore also mach preju- diced, the average fall being 14; per cent. In the discount market on the 7th there was an ab- sence of pressure, and just before the action of the Bapk direotors was published goods bilis were negotiable at a fraction below 6 per cent. Afterwards, however, the range was 7a 73g per cent. ‘The applicatione for discount at the Bank at the ad vaneed rate were not numerous. ‘Yhe London Daily News, in enumerating the reasons as- signed for the action of tho Bank of England, says:—Tho Bank of France is in an unsatis‘actory positien, the effoct of the American panic having relatively beea quito as much felt in France as in Fngland. There is also tho fact that the reaerve of notes tn the Bank of England by last returns showed a falling off of upwards of a million pounds. The pews from America is supposed to have had the chief influence in the Bank parlor on Momlay, the impression being thas further gold shipments woukl be made to New York daring the week. ‘The London Times says the bank movement created no lasatiefaction, and there was not the slightest symptom of internal preesure or discredit, Commercial men are dispos7d to believe in the prosprroua course of business later in the year, ‘The Londen Daily News says that, while there is uot the slightest appearance of panic a fesling of discourag- ‘ment and uneasiness is becoming more plainly observa bie. . It is feared further stroug action may be necessary ‘on the part of the Bank. Some apprehension is felt as to the effict, even in the presnt sound coudition of trade, occasioned by the struggle for bullion between the threo greatest money markets in the world—those of England, Franee and America. Dr. Kern, the Swiss Minister in Paris, im hia last report to the Federal Council, announces that the prevailing opinion in official quarters at Paris is that paace will bo maintained, and states that Sardinia is endeavoring to arrest the plans of the Garibaldiaus, and hopes to succeed in her efforts. Prince Couza mate a public declaration, on the 234 ult., that in the stroggl+ which was evidently about to take place in Hungary he would make the noutrality of the Roumaine territory be respected, and shat for this purpote the cadres of the army should be filled up. He ‘was determined to suffer no colleetion or agglomeration ov the Moido-Wallachian soil, either of the soldiers or of the foce of Austria, Ho would not auffer conspiracy, Dut would not admit any law of extradition, or give up INTELLIGENCE, &e., &. any fugitive who for political reasons had taken refuge | in the Principalities. ‘The Paria correspondent of the London News saya. — There is much talk in Paris of two autograph letters, one from Francia Il. to the Emperor, telling him that be bas made up his mind to die sword in hand rather than quit Gaeta; and another from oa TIL to Victor Emanuel, urging upon him the necessity ef giving up his idea of an united Italy, and coming into the tape rial idea of a coufederation as the ouly scheme likely to moet with the assent of Europe, and to be pormanently successful. It ts hinted by goverument journaliste that a reported spe ch of Victor Emanuel, insisting upon the necessity of lualy keeping up the bost understanting with ber “true allies,’’ moans that be is obliged to sub. mit Wo the dictation of th» Tudor ies. There is no confirmation whatever of the uews tele. grapbed from Berlin tha: Victor Emanuel and Mrancis HL. were negvtiating fer a long truce. Upon the oceasiou of the reception of the diplomatic body at the Tuileries on Now Year's day, Louis Napoleon is reported to have addressed these romarks to Mr, Faxtk- ner, the American Minister: — T hope it is not true that any of tho States have sepa- rated from the general confederation. My sinoere wish is that you should long coutinue a united and prosperous people. The Fepero of Turin atates that King Victor Emanuel, at the grand reception of the constituted bodies of the State on New Year's day, said — Tam extremely to find myself sgain in the midst of my oid subjects.

But perty, and leaves the rebels of South the mercy of their slavea, to whom the question of secession has given, not unnaturaily, now hopes and aspirations. Representative institutions ure upoa their trial in America, but the danger has been fomented and increased, pot by the action of the Legislature, but vy the unworthy policy of the head of the executive, who has preterred partisanship with the South to the vindi- cation and assertion of that power and influence of @ great and united natlon which a lees cowardly and vacil- lating course would have transmitted unimpaired to the ands of « successor. Tbe greater odium will only attach to Mr, Buchanan if, during his short tenure of office, that gentioman should suffer the great fabric of national ia- dependence and pational power to bo undone which Washington, with so much stronuoisness, zaal and ap- parently with so much success, strove to raise, con- Solidate and render permancut. {From the London Post, Jan. 8.] When wo read that the announcement of tho repeal, by a cnavimous yore of one hunored and sixty-ume mombers, of the fundamenta! !aw uniting South Carolina to the other Unitet Stuves of America was received with immenso cheering by the fanatical masses in tho streets of Caartos- ton, we are forcioly reminded of the day when, after Wedderburn’: great speoch against tho rights of the American colonists to self-taxation, the most enthusiastic of Lord North’s supporters sheuted and threw up their bats in trinmph, and of the remask made by an eye.wit- nese of the scene, that “The gentiomen who so loudly cheered Mr. Wedderburn bad some occasion to rue most bitterly the success of his party eloquence.” The guns tired, and colors borwted, and speeches made, the handker- chiefs waved by the fair seccssionists—all the demonstra- tions made to the honor ant glory of the “game cock of the Sonth” must be ‘acropted as frosh iMustrations of the ancient theugh somewhat homely adage which accords to Chanticleer the undoubted right of proclaiwing his own praise and glory within the boun- daries ot bis own territory. Meanwhile, the crowing of the “geome cock of the ‘South’ is answered in defiant notes by his rivals of the Nortn. Mr. Lincoln’s organ, the Springtield Journal, significantly announces that South Caroima capnet dissolve the Union by the simple passing of resolutions to thet effect. As Jong as South Carvlina does Dot obstruct the collection of revenues at hor ports, bor violate other federal lows, she will not virtually or practically leave the Union; but, should she proceed that length, the Presisent moat then uphold the fundamental laws of the United States, Me. Buchanan may shrink from the perfortounce of that duty, but Mr. Lincoin is otermined to discharge it. We soa, therefore, that the gauntlet, thrown down by the South will, a8 far as the bew President is concerned, bo resviutely taken up by the North. Our firm belief is that a stern conflict will com arrive; indeed, it is our greatest wonder that t shoutd have teen delayed so long. there appear, ata first glance, few points of reaom- biance between that Italian question which during the last two years has beon agitating Europe, and the conflict between the Northern ana Southorn States of tho groat American republic, of which the speedy iasna, itis with too much reason feared, will result ia the disruption of the federal governmen:s and the formation of » separate empire. Questions of nationalities and balance of power, of clerical influcnee and dynastic ambition, would appear to be but remotely related to these bearing on the poltti- cal and social relations between free citizenship and alave jnbor. The members of a Fox club, in tho far-ratiating sympathy which inspires th toast to the triumph of “ori and religious liberty all over the world,” might in- deed cowprehend the interest of botu questions in. ther post-pranutat rites; but beyond this very genorai and re- mote connection few will be prepared to admit a reaern- | blance between the policy which bas resulted in tho eles. | tion of Lincom, and the policy which has been so long | marked by the astuteness of Cavour. But when, from the examination of the special objects contended for, we direct our attention to the relative po- sition of the contending partics themselves, to the «tti. tude now assumed by the southern towards the Northern States, to the suecersive causes by which that atticute has been determined, to the thousand motives of pride, Of habit, of interost and of ambitiou, by which the slave: holding Communities of the Sooth ars actuated —whou we | look honestly in the face the consequences to which the logic of an iron and inexorabie necessity has led some of the free states, and to which it will asow y tead atl when we recognise the unquesiioned truth that oy. the | natural devolopemont ot the systems," eiwaen Dendage and free citizenship, as they ¢ fonn dation of the republic, have assumed a wholly different | character and # far greater maguitude—when, in a | word, we calmly sean the array and measure tho foree of the hostile partics,we shall perhaps be dis- posed toedmit that there exists a much cioser analozy between the American end falian questions than the sfeial observation would suggest. ‘The Southern stutes of tho American confoderation stand precisely in the relation in which rds Sardinia at the commencemest of Only & few days before that war broke jo, in the columas of this journal, ation in the Italian pant yin tho Now out we took | Tepreseat th a8 akin to the institution It virtually, necessarily, wnavoitably, subverted fi in all tho separate [talian States. and publ \ lations to the Austrian empire.

The following is a comparative statement of the exports (exclusive of specie) at New York for the week and since January 1:— 1859. 1360. 1861. Previously reported. 1,852,012 1,490,853 2.756311 For the week.......$1,171 188 2/537,7268 6,019,179 Since January 1...$2,523,200 4,037,570 7,775,400 The above table shows that the export move- ment continues very active, being nearly double that of same period last year. The bulk of the exports last week was breadatuffs and provisions. About $275,000 of cotton went to Liverpool and Havre. In the event of the blockade—actual or constructive—of the Southern cotton ports, New York will do a very heavy business in the export of cotton this summer. In any event it is proba- ble that that business will be larger than last year. Money is easier again to-day, and we have to report quite a fair business in paper at seven per cent. Fair average names go at cight to twelve, according to standing, &c. The amount of moncy offering on call at five is in excess of the wants of the street. It will thus be scen that moncy is already cheaper here than it is in London. Foreign exchange is dull. Bankers ask 106% for sterling, and 5.274% a 30 for francs. We hear ofa sale of bankers’ bills at 105%. Tho best mercantile bills are held at l06a%. It ia evi- dent that at these rates there can be no return of gold to the other side, and the hopes exprossed by foreigners, in their last letters from Europe, to the effect that rates would soon revert to the old figures, and the specie current set castward once more, are not near their fulfilment as yet. There is a fair profit on importations of gold against bills at to-day's rate. Heavy sales by parties who have been spocu- lating for the rise, together with the news from Lurope, cansed a general decline in prices on the Stock Exchange to-day, The indications of a strin- gency ia the London money market, afforded by the fall in consols and flour, and the advance in the rate of interest to seven per cent, are regarded As very menacing for our intercsts, A farthor fall in dour would embarrass our grain interest and check the growing business on our railways. The qu-stion also arises whether, in the event of a con- tinued proasure in the London money market, some of our stocks would not be likely to come back. As @ general rule, foreigners are not apt to seid our stocks back so long as the interest is paid. Bat the existing drain opon Ragland for gold for this country is an unprecedented pheno- menon, and, simultaneously with the increased stringency in their market, the English will be re- ceiving accounts of the steady advance in ours, One would naturally suppose that the advance of 35 per cent on Illinois Central would tempt some foreign holders to send their stock here for sale, At the morning board to-day Rock Island declined 144, Toledo 1%, Burlington an 1 Quiney 1%, ding » Michigan Central 1, Pacific Mail 1, Hud-on 14, Erie 1, New York Central 1%4, South- ern guaranteed 4%. After tho board things were still lower, and the market was heavy, In the afternoon the market was lower again, and stocks closed dull, The only securities which were bet- ter were some of the bonds, as Michigan Southern seconds and LaCrosse land grants, which advanced, the former 1, the latter 2 per cent. The following were the last quotations of the day:—Tennessees, 76a 14; Virginia's, 77 @ 4; Missouri 6's, 6894 a 69; anton, 144% a 15; Cumberland Coal preferred, 8% a %; Pacific Mail, 898%; New York Central, 79% a % Erte, 87857; Hudson River, 46 a 4; Har- lem, 16% a do. preferred, 39% a Reading, 46 @ %; Michigan Central, 56% a 57; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, Yi do. guaranteed, 33% 0%; Panama, 115 a 116; IMlinois Central, 814% 8 82%; Galena and Chicago, 71% a %; Cleveland and Toledo, 3 a 7%; Chicago and Rock Island, 67 a 4%; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 73 a %. We published @ few days since a telegraphic message from Governor Pickens, of South Caro- 4, (o the President of the Bank of the Republio his city, to the effect that ‘‘all trade was de- ined.’ and that “ail vessels in commerce only d be piadly received” at Onarieston At the me the despatch was publighed an attack upon | Fort Sumter by the South Carolina revolut'onists ‘was daily expected, and comment upon the Gover- nor's invitation was unnecessary. Now that tho suthorities of that State seem to have abandoned their intention of assailing the only remaining fort of the United States in their harbor, it may not*be amiss to devote a few moments to the very extra- ordinary appeal made by Governor Pickens to our mercantile class. It is the interest of the ship- owners and merchants of the North to establish and maintain commercial relations with every part of the world. It is especially their interest to maintain such relations with States, like South Carolina, which produce cotton, rice, &c.—commodities largely dealt in here—and which consume dry goods and general merchandise, such as we have for sale. If, therefore, no obstacles lay in the way of trade between New York and Charleston, our ship- owners and merchants would need no invitation from the Governor to send vessels to Charleston, But the fact is that there are obstacles, and very grave ones, in the way of any such trade; and until they are removed it will be vain for Charlea- ton to expect trading vessels either from the Northern States or from any other country. In the first place, the harbor of Charleston—a bad one at best—has been rendered peculiarly dan- gerous by the removal of the buoys and the extin- guishment of the usual lights. The steamship Marion—a regular liner between New York aud Charleston, piloted by the most experienced pilot last trip, and a | on the coast—ran aground on her last trip, anda | sdareanten, ea'scmapated wee GDC bE ibe Gritibes steamer belonging to the State—the only vessel she met—positively refused to render her any assist- ance. The ehances are ninety to one that a sailing craft in the position of the Marion would have been lost, Since then, we learn that two or threo sailing vessels have been sunk in the chan- nel leading to the port of Charleston, so.as to block it effectually. Every one who knows Charleston harbor is aware that the Ashley and Cooper rivers carry down to the sea.a quantity of vegetable matter, earth and sand, which is de- posited at the first point of resistance, forming a bar orshoal, It may be safely assumed that the sunken vessels are alréady embedded in a new | bar, and that the channel is absolutely closed. How did Governor Pickens expect vessels from outside to get over this difficulty? Did he wish to see them wrecked on the Pickens bar? But if none of these obstacles existed, and there were no risk of the gunners on Morris Island mistaking trading craft for vessels bearing food and coal to the beleaguered garrison at Fort Sumter, a fatal objection to trade would still exist in the fact that there is no United States Collector at Charleston. Mr. Colcock, the last Collector, was dismissed some weeks since. Mr. McIntyre, his successor, has hot yet been confirmed, and is probably at his residence at York, Pennsylvania. How could a vessel sailing to Charleston enter regularly at that port? To whom could she pay duties on any du- tiable goods she might have on board? From whom could she obtain a clearance when she sailed? What guarantee would her captain have that on sailing she would not be seized by the United States for smuggling, or by any stray cruiser as a suspicious craft, possibly a privateer? No prudent shipowner would run these risks for the sake of a prospective profit on a voyage to Charleston; and, until Governor Pickens can satis- fy shipowners apd merchants that South Carolina clearances will be recognized by all mercantile na- tions, and that the United States will suffer goods to be centered at Charleston without payment of duty to some United States official, his invitations are not likely te be accepted. The only trade between Charleston and the outside world is now carried on in the four steamers owned by Messrs. Spofford & Tileston, of this city, and their associates. These gentlemen wish to have it understood that they are running their vessels at a loss, from a philanthropic repugnance to throw out of employ- mentthe two hundred men to whom they furnish work. Such acts of self-denial, in this mercenary age, call for general applause; it must be gratify- ing to the owners of the Charleston steamers to know that their self-sacrificing liberality is appre- ciated as highly here as it is by the shippers of the cotton, rice, &c., which they are bringing from Charleston. It may be questioned, however, whether these gentlemen should be suffered to go on ruining themselves, as they say they are doing, for the sake of the two hundred men they employ, when the stoppage of the Charleston line might yield decided political benefits at the present time. It is always ungracious to chill the generous im- pulses of warm hearts; but if the Charleston peo- ple will not permit us to send coal and food to Major Anderson, should we suffer these steamers to carry supplies to them? We understand that Mr. Baylor, an agent of the Southern planters of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, is in town endeavoring to make arrangements for the movement of the cotton crop. Itscems that the recent political dis- turbances at the South lave disarranged all the machinery of trade; the planters have sent Mr. Baylor to New York to endeavor to induce our bankers to make the advances which they used to make in former times. As it is, the planters can- not get a dollar advance on their cotton, or even insure it, and their needs are urgent in the ex- treme. ‘The following is Neill Brothers’ statement of the movements of cotton, for the last week and since Ist September last, compared with the five pro- ceding years: — Receipts —— Exports for Past Week.

The step came unexpectediy, and a few minutes pre- viourly to its notification money was obtainabla in the discount market ut @ fraction below the bank terms then current. ‘The reasons assigned for it, however, are sufliciently important. Not only did the Asindake out a furthor sum of £200,000 for New York on Saturday, but the feugouia, from south- | ampton this morning, bas oarrred £70,000, anu it may therefore bo inferred that the City of Waskington, Arago, Vigo, North Briton, Marathon and Niagara, to sai during the week, will ali or most of them have additional totals, expeciaily'ns the accounts to-day are. likely Lo ex- cite the confidence of romitters. At the same time the ad- vices from Paris are discouraging with regard to the po- sition and prospects of the Bauk of France, which in its approaching monthly statement ts expoctea to show a further very cousiderable reduction of bubion, tie effeot of the Amerionn panic having relatively been quite as mneb felt in France as 10 kngland. Tn addition to these considerations there is also the fact that the last weekly return of our bauk showed a falling off of £1,624,260 iu the reserve of notes, aud that the accounts from India, although they cuafirum the state- ment that no new native loan 18 contempiated, indicate that, if public improvemonta are to be continued in that country on any exteusive scale, it must be by funds drawn exclusively from this side. These things svemod to war- rant somo additional action on the moovy market, and hence, although the pabiic wore unprepared for the movement, it creates no desatisfaction, especially as thero is not the slightest symptom of internal pressure or discredit: and all commerci: men are disposed to believe that the progrees of busincas liter in the year will fully compensate for the abuormal circumstances now in ope- ration. Consols opened this morning at a decline of an cighth, and soon experiouced a fresh fall of three cighths per cont. The first bargains were at 924 a 4, and on the anpouncement from tho bank transactions took place at 91% 8%, which was the quotation at the official close.
