6 - FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tomar, August 14—6P. My Business in Wall street has been somewhat unsettled today by a temporary depression oo the stock ex- change, which was however soon followed by a strong reactionary tendency. The monotony of the gold room was at the same time disturbed by 4 cable telegram from Kurope, to the effect that Prussia had formally declined to comply with the demand of France for an extension of her boundaries to the Rhine, and the price rose to 1504y, after opening at 149% and gelling down to 140%. ‘The borrowing demand was atthe same time brisk, and Toans were made at 1-16 a 3¢ per cent per diem in favor of the lender of the coin, The aspect of affairs between France and Germany is rendored all the more threatening by reason of the peremptory refusal of Prussia to cede the Rhine terri- Gory, and the somewhat pacific tone of the Moniteur aftords no indication of the purposes of the French Em- poror. The latter knew of the sentiment of not only Prussia bat all Germany, with regard to the Rhine, when he asked for the cession of territory which threw Berlin into a state of agitation; and Prassia, in re- plying, knows that, according to the Napoleonic idoa, the natural boundary of France on one side is the left bank of the Rhin Napoleon would hardiy have ventured to make a dethand without being prepared to enforce it, nor Prussia © have refused it without being prepared for the ‘uative, Hence a German-French war threatens, which neither Austria nor Italy will probably be able to take part in, for Austria, however bitterly opposed ( Prussia, could notact in opposition to the national sentiment, and her crippled condition, financially and otherwise, would prevent her doing much service to France as an ally in any event, while Italy is too much involved with Prussia to espouse the cause of her euemy, and would have to remain neutral. Should the threatened war take place, the immediate result would be extreme depres> on of the funds in every country m Europe, and frest 1 follow upon those which have at- ready The first effect of such a state of things seen bere ina further considerable ad- vance in tho gold preminm, accompanied by a demand for coin tor Lourding. This would be the result of dis- trust of the future more than of any more legitimate cause; but ft would ultimately be followed, if the war was prolonged, by largely increased exports of bread stuffs, to male up for the deficiency caused by the with drawal of European laborers from the corniield to the battlefierd Thus the exchanges would gradually be turned in our favor, bec meanwhils, in view of its scarcity, gold migut rise to double its present premium, for the immediate result of a war on so large a scale would be to close markets in Enrope, and thereby stimulate our own alicady enoymous import trade, With regard to onr avcurities there is every probability that, in the midst of the distract of other securities in Europe, they would Ancrease in popularity, but meanwhile _ five-twenties be returned to us frely as at the the Prussian-Austrian war, Our foreicn acting upon a natural but not always wise impulse, would be to some extent peremptory in their domands upon us for payment, and we should have to sbip more gold to meet them. We should in other words roap the ill effects of the war first and the good after- wards; but on the whole should be likely to derive more benefit than injury from a great continontal war, as it would stimulate agriculture at’ home, which i much needed.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Heavy Rains—The Wheat Crops Badly Dam- aged—That of Wisconsin Almost Entircly Ruined—Thirty Lives Lost-—-Towns and Frems Submerged—Houses and Bridges Swept Away—The Storm Recommenced. CHIcaGo, August 14, 1866, Complete returns have been received here of the con- dition of the wheat crop in the Northwest since the storm of Saturday and Sunday, which was one of the severest of the season, The wheat in the northern tier of counties in this State has been materially injured. In the Southern part of the State the crop has been pretty generally secured; but in the north much | of the whea was in the shock, and has com. menced «rowing badly, Along the Galena branch of the Northwestern Road reports from the Wheat are very unfavorable. The crop in Wisconsin is almost entirely ruined. The harvest thero is two weeks later than ip Illinois, and the floods of rain caugit the farmers in the told. From one end of tho State to the other come tidings 0° floods aud inundations, bridges awept off, and the whole country for miles under water. ‘Tne crops, both cut and aneut, are completely subm: and are heating aud sprouting to an extent that roi them. throogh the West. pAY, AUGUS? 15, took place yesterday at their rooms, No. 10 Stanton street. the chair was occupied by W.

POLICE HEADQUARTERS, Investigations by Superintendent Kennedy— Nature of the Evidence Against the Detec- tives—Nov Way of Testing their Veract- ty—Arrest of Officers in the Twelfth Pre- cinet, and What it Lead to, &e. The investigations of Superintendent Kennedy into the malpractices alleged to have existed in the detective office in Mulberry street are still going forward, it is said, but the officials are exceedingly reticent relative to the results thus far arrived at by that gentleman. The mat- | ter bas beon discussed in the ful! Board of Police Com- missioners, they being aware also of the character and volume of the sworn statements in the hands of Mr, Kennedy ; and it is agserted that they have considored it due to the officers comprising the detective force, as well as to the public at lorgo, that a rigid investigation should be made into the whole affair, and have so di- rected the Superintendent, There is a general desire at police headquarters to relieve the officers of the imputa- tions recently cast upon them, more especially as some of them are very nearly related to certain members of the Board. The proviem to solve is, how cau this best be done? NATURE OF THE EVIDENCE. This cannot be learned from an official source ; but the statements have already been shown to uumerous confidential parties, who were told that | they were taken down verbatim by a short-hand writer employed by government officials. It ix stated further that these investigations wore entered into by Uniled States government officials for the purpose of dis- covering how far United States criminals were being tampered with by Motropolitan detectives, and ax a means of breaking up organized bands of counterfeiters who were flooding the country with wortbloss issues, and who boasted that they did not fear the law, simply because they could buy and sell its executory.
