STAMPED ~..sd. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF NEW YORK The commercial adtices from New York this week show that, although the ignorant confidence of the multitude in the paper issues of the Govern ment was still almost undiminished, many of the more shrewd financiers were preparing for the ap proach of the inevitable crisis. A curious specula tion had arisen in bills on Europe, which were now being bought for time, like stocks and shares. S ome of the contracts arc for tills to be furnished four or s;x months hence, and in other cases they are to be transactions s a u r p e p e l q i c u cl v a a i t c n o e t t month'so purchasing specie These at present prices to be deli vered at a futu re date. Meanwhile com mercial business, except in the exportation of grain and provisions, which is being carried on to an sex tent that Must leave the country in a p condition if the want of labour and any adverse condition of the weather should affect the crops during the coming seasons, was completely sta g nant. recar The traffic on the railroads, however, owing to this movement of produce, combined with the transport of materials for the army, was, on the whole, not unfavourable. All the hopes of a reviN from the removal of the blockade of New Orleans appear to have been disappointed. "There is," it is said, " not a sign of our being able to induce the inhabitants to trade." Under these cir cumstances it was more than ever difficult to And employment for money in the discount of commer cial paper, and the Government could, therefore, borrow with undiminished facility. The Treasury had consequently issued new invitations for de posits at 4 per cent. for not less than 30 days, and then at 10 days' call. By this means, and the un limited issue of certificates of indebtedness, the Government avoid fresh loans, and the public are at the same time assured that the public debt on the Ist of July will be much less than has previ ously been stated. There is no real doubt, how ever, that the worst estimates hitherto put forth will be fully borne out when all outstanding liabi lities are fairly included. Predictions of the date at which the rebellion is to be crushed continued to be put forth with equal Confidence but with less precision than formerly. If victory is secured both at Richmond and Corinth, the war is to be wound up in three months—the old 90 days ; but if the Confederates succeed at either of these places, " it may be prolonged for two years." The return to France of the French Secretary of Legation at Washington has given rise to conjectures, and the article on mediation in the Paris Constitutionnel of his morning may possibly have been inspired by :he information brought home by that personage. A FRENCHMAN'S OPINION OF DERBY. M. Amedee Achard, a htterateur of a different stamp from M, Assolant, has given, in the Journa des L' ebats, an interesting account of the Epsom races. in his reflections on the fact of a vast assemblage of people where gendarmes, troops, and sergens de ville were not required to keep order, he says :- 6 , If a savage were told that 100,000, 300,000, or 500,000 persons consented without being forced to do so to move along a road during four hours in the morning and five hours in the afternoon, exposed to the sun and enveloped in dust, for the sole purpose of tasting a pleasure which asted (watch in hand) but three minutes or so, would he not, in his rude simplicity, think that those 500,000 civi lised beings were all mad ? The case of madness apart, one can only explain the Derby by a conviction that the horse is a creature superior to man. And yet there is something grand and superb in that only great annual festival of Eng land. We feel the mighty breath of a people who, from the Tory to the Radical, from the lord to the cockney, feel the same passion, the same instinct, at the same moment and on the same snot. The gentlern..n, the soldier, the peasant, the sailor, the shopkeeper, the rich, the poor—all are of the same blood, all of the same race, all thorough Englishmen. They are all as but one man. With these unanimous feel ings, with these passions—the same in high and low—a nation is made. One tl ing by its very silence characterises the English people. There were at Epsom that day per haps 10,000 vehicles of every kind ; and yet you did not hear the crack of a single whip. Why, a single carriage descending the Champs Elysees after the races at Li Marche makes more noise than all of them. It is an ava lanche v hick thunders along. Hero 20,000 wheels and 40,000 horses, conducted by 15,000 grooms, flew along like a rivulet. When the disorder is here on the surface de pend upon it that order is at the bottom. The Epsom races, independently of the magical attraction they have for British imagination through the Derby, are again a striking testimony of the love Englishmen of every class have for physicial exercise. '1 hey hold it in great esteem, as you know, and practise it with constant attention. They see in it, and perhaps they are not wrong, an efficacious manner of developing the vital force of man, and making it produce the greatest possible result. In fact, it is a sort of political economy in a muscular sense. In this only you find the secret of the tacit protection which the most distinguished Englishmen accord to the Herculean family of boxers—and this strange to say, in spite of the letter of the law. One would say that a part of this spirit is infused into the brain of the horse himself. You see little animals that refuse no burden, and stick at no obstacle. They have the stubbornness of bulldogs and the energy of the:Saxon race. They die in harness. But when one has seen the Derby it is very difficult to cherish any illusion on the future of horseracing in France. No doubt, people do well in pro tecting and multiplying them ; but, in spite of all they do, horseracing will be an amusement only for a very small number of horse-fanciers. Large fortunes do not come to its aid, and decidedly the popular taste is not for it. At 11 o'clock at night the visitors to the Derby throng to Cre morne, where it is the custom to spend a part of the night after the races at Epsom. Cremorno is something like a masked ball without masks." 'lust published, price is., by post 14 stamps, sealed 22, THE GUIDE TO MANLY VIGOUR. By 1 - Messrs.

He found all the organs hear lthy, and no natural cause for death. Upon opening the neck he found t he muscles discoloured from pk-essure. The windpipe was flattened and made thin, supa rently by being .squeezed. Those injuries could i:ot have been occasioned accidentally, and they were undoubtedly cause of death. The appearances led him to infer CIO some persons' fingers had been passed aro und the ellild's throat, and strangu lation effected in that way. The coroner said that the evidence showed clearly that the child had been wilfully murdered, and ho should adjourn the inquiry to give time to investi gate the mysterious circumstances attending Zhe death of the other child. Before the court rose information Was brow ht in that the body of a female child had just been picked up in Kin .- g's-square, City-road, by a police -con stable, and that there were appearances which in dicated that it had been murdered. MURDER NEAR LAUNCESTON. One of the most cruel and barbarous murders that has ever been perpets'ated in this neighbour hood was committed on Satizrday night, or early on Sunday morning, at Langore, a small village in the parish, and about two-and-a-half of miles from the town of St. Stephen' s ; in the borough ,Laun es© ton, upon an old ma n named Roger Drew, w:. - .in was a carpenter by trade, a nd kept a small grocer's sho p in the village. He lived alo his wife He was very industrious and saving in his habits, but frequently made a boast of the amount of his savings to his neighbours, and often took out his purse and said, "I have had a lot of inoney in this one." The deceased was in his usual staie of health on Saturday night, and was last seen in the Smiths' Arms, in the village, kept by a man named Basset, Deceased was there in company with the accused, John Doidge, who is a labourer. Doidge left the deceased at the Smiths' Arms, and in about On minutes afterwards the deceased left for his home, , and nothing more was seen of him that night. On Sunday morning a woman, named Martin, who went to the house of the deceased to obtain some sweets, having knocked at the door, and obtaining no reply, looked in at the window. There she saw the table and chairs in great confusion, and the ' body of the murdered man lying with his head in a pool of blood. She immediately ran to the Smiths' Arms, and informed Mr. Bassett and Mr. Cory of what she had seen. The latter immediately went to the deceased's house and knocked at the door, but getting no reply, he look ed in and gm De carw in his blood. Mr. Bassett then went into tl2- penter's shop, which adjoins the dwelling-hoose, and on entering the back door discovered that Drew' h a d been murdered. The police were immediately made acquainted with the fact, and they were soon on the spot. Inquiries having been made, it was ascertained that deceased and Doidge bad been drinking the previous night at the Smiths' Arms. Suspicion immediately fell upon the accltsed, and he was taken into custody by Inspector Woods. On his clothes being examined blood was found upc,n his coat, shirt, and trousers. He was charged wito: the murder, but declared his irinoect,m lie was taken ;n4,-. , -iistody, handcuffed. greatly agitated. Ile was conveyed to the lock 3p at Egloz,kerry, a village about two miles (lit , tant. On examining the deceased's bedroom it wos dis covered that a box had been broken open, contain ing some pence, silver, and gold. The former was taken away, but the latter in the hurry was undis covered ; marks of blood were found upon the stairs. The village was thrown into the greatest state of excitement. - A post morteni exam ination took place on Sunday afternoon by Drsd Thompson and Felce, and the wound inflicted on the head was of such a severe character that it no doubt caused instan taneous death. It appears the old man was pre paring for bed, as he had one boot unlaced and a slipper on the other foot. Since writing the above we have been informed that the deed was perpetrated by a bill or wood man's hook ; the latter implement Doidge is know n n to have had in his pocket on Satu rda y night whe in the company of deceased. Priso ner did not arrive at his lodgings until three or four o'clock on Sunday morning, and he got up before six o'clock and washed his boots and some of his vrearpg apparel, which was a very unusual course with hall When Inspector Woods came to themvillr thee_ accused was seen by Mrs. Sutten, with, to take a hook and hide it av_eay behind d to the water-barrel, and which Smitten produce with h hended, fresh inspector when he Ives BPPre into this neigh blood upon it.

FRANCE AND AMERICA. The Constantionnd publishes the following article as its first leader. It is headed" Mediation" : " Battles, great battles, are about to be fought in America ) and perhaps have been fought already at the very moment we are writing. It is impossible, in fact, for the armies of the North and the armies of t he South, in presence of each other at Corinth and at Richmond, not to come to blows. Deluges of blood will be shed, and, what is more sad to con e template, 'whatever the issue might be, these terrible encounters do not promise a solution to the actual crisis, either for America or for Europe. The vic tory, no matter on what side, will not be attended with any final result. " Violence, hatred, passions of every description, of which the first war of independence has given us the recital, are nothing compared to the hatred which now animates the South against the North ; but they may give an idea of the resistance and of the obstacles which the Federal armies will have to meet from the Confederates. Let history, whose lessons arc so rarely listened to, serve at least in some measure to give a material eloquence under such circumstances. We are willing to grant to those who do not share our opinion anything they ish ; we will grant to the Federals superiority by land and by sea; we will accept proximate triumphs for the North. The question which the positive spirit of modern civilisation is so fond of putting still remains : and what afterwards ?' Will the triumph of the Federal arms produce miracles P Will it change the seasons ? Will it dissipate the hot weather and the sickness which must ensue P Can it manage that the extent of territory con quered, and consequently to be occupied, is not equal to the whole extent of France, England, and Austria put together? Where are the armies to occupy such an extent, and where is the moral strength which could dispense with occupying them and hold the place of soldiers? " We simply wish to touch upon facts—nothing but facts. What do we see On the side of the Con federates ? They burn their produce, they burn their provisions, they destroy their railways, they blow up their dockyards, their arsenals, and their ships, they leave their wives and children to fight in battle. When, in a proclamation of savage energy, General Beauregard recommends to plan ters to destroy their crops which are within reach of the enemy, and to apply the torch to them with out delay or hesitation, it is not simply a captain excited by the drunkenness of war who speaks—it is the general sentiment loudly expressed. Had not numerous meetings already expressed their opi nion ? Once again, let us observe, we do not wish to express our own ideas on such acts ; we simply wish to give facts. " On the other hand, what are the Federals do ing ? What at once strikes us is, that the country of freedom par excellence has commenced by sup pressing freedom. Military directors have seized upon all the telegraph lines which traverse Ame rica in every direction. The same censorship com pels the newspapers to publish only what is favour able to the North and unfavourable to the South. And what is the result of this ? The North speaks to the whole world by the electric wires, while in formation from the South, when it does come, comes tardily. In fact, the journals and correspondence from the South, which reach us by way of the Ha vannah or St. Thomas, are sometimes five weeks behindhand, and thus lose all interest. . . . " The North proclaims martial law with all its severities; it suppresses every independent voice ; it threatens the suspected with death. In presence of such despotism the English press has not been able to remain silent. . . . " In the midst of such a struggle, between such dasperate opponents, who dare say that a spontane ous or likely pacification is possible ? Peace can only come from without, and the word which we have placed at the head of this article can alone put an end to a war which has desolated, steeped in blood, and decimated America already too long, and, 'what is more, caused Europe to suffer too long. The word we allude to is Mediation!' "But whence is this mediation to come, and on what basis can it be founded ? Whence it will come we have already stated. As regards the basis, it way easily be found. " First of all, it is evident that as ' mediation,' in principle, must be accepted by both belligerents, it can only represent ideas of justice and of modera tion, and that consequently it cannot be addressed to those who would like to engraft a slave war on a civil war, or to those who consider the institution of slavery as an institution of Divine right. " This mediation, a point most singularly over looked, corresponds not only to the most vital in terests of commercial Europe, but also to the most sensible minds that represent the interests of Ame rica. Let us remember that President Lincoln has pronounced himself in the same sense as, before him, Generals Burnside and Butler did against an ex citement to a slave war, and that, in his last pro clamation, he called to mind his special message, quoting the following resolution, adopted by large majorities, by both Houses of Congress : " The United States must co-operate with that state which might adopt the gradual abolition of slavery, by giving to each state, in its judgment, such a compensation as required for public or pri vate inconveniences resulting from such a change of system.' " Let us bring to bear upon this passage another solemn declaration made by President Lincoln in his inauguration address of the 4th March, 1861 : " ' I have no intention to interfere, directly or indirectly, in the question of slavery where it ex ists ; I do not think that I have the right to do so legally, and I am by no means inclined to do so.' "It is thus that the North speaks, in the spirit of moderation and of justice. Will the South be less accessible to this spirit of conciliation and of wisdom ? We do not think so, and we have a proof at hand. A man of consideration of the South, Mr. Yancey, a commissioner of the Southern States, at a banquet given at Fishmongers' Hall, on the 9th of November last, at London, spoke as follows : " ' When our adversary shall have become suffi ciently calm to treat us as belligerents, the aurora of peace will appear in the horizon. When that hour has struck, I think I may say that the Con• federate Government will not show itself inflexible, except upon one point; the care of our honour and of our independence. As regards the great interests of peace and humanity, our Government will know how to make concessions in everything simply material or of secondary importance.' " Those words were hailed with immense ap• plause ; and here, evidently, are to be found the basis of a possible arrangement—of an arrange ment such as may be proposed in the name of Europe by a great and free nation. " Beyond this—beyond this most opportune medi ation, is the point of view of European interests ; so legitimate is the point of view of humanity and civilisation there remain only catastrophes the ex tent of which no human eye can penetrate. The capture of Richmond would not advance the affairs of America one whit more than the capture of New Orleans. The South bathed in blood, the North plunged in bankruptcy and in anarchy, commercial Europa seeing its sufferings increase, such are the consequences of the continuation of this war. " Medi a ti on , on t h e con t rary , by p u tting an end to s a frat r i c id a l strugg l e, an d b y consecra ting a separation already accomplished without allowing one of the belligerents to crush the other, and cause desolatio n i nstead of peace, would render the most eminent ser v i ce to America as well as to E urope . "One y ear me offered her ago, when the war broke out, France to America. Tout offer was shed, what sad catastraon i p I c o r o o d s s not accepted. What h m es m , wenhsaet amount tioonf blood shed, the Atlantic , what ei ff i ering n our own homes, might have been spared if the voi • ce of France had then been listened to! " HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK. :From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The number of deaths in London registered in the week that ended on Saturday was'l,ll4, which is almost the same as that of the previous week. The mean temperature of the air in each of the last three weeks has been successively 55 6, 57.6, and 58'6 deg. The average number of deaths derived from the returns of corresponding weeks in the years 1852 61 (corrected), is 1,108. The rate of mortality last week scarcely differed from the average calculated for the first week of June. ment : With reference to zymotic diseases, the fact that chiefly requires notice is that typhus E till maintains its predominance in this class. It was fatal last week in 79 cases (the corrected average being 41). Ten of those were returned by the London Fever Hospital; five by the registrar of St. Margaret, Westminster; five by the registrar of Mile-end New-town, Of 37 deaths from scarlatina, 6 occurred in the sub-district of Lambeth Church, second part. In this sub-district 91 fatal cases of that disease have been returned in the last ten weeks. Five cases of murder or manslaughter were re gistered in the week. A girl aged 4 years - died from eating a quantity of horse beans; a boy of the same age from eating crab fish. A boy aged 4 months died from infantile cholera ~after two dayellineas,_ at 18, Aliodeswell-terrace, Mile-end Old-town. _ _ Last week the births of 915 boys and 878 girls, in all 1,793 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,797. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.766 in. The reading rose to 30.03 in. on Wednesday, and fell to 29 46 in. on Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 58.6 degrees, which is 1.7 degrees above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on •very day except Tursday. The highest day tem perature was 73.5 degrees, and occurred on Mon day. The lowest night temperature was 45.7 degrees on Wednesday. The range of the thermo meter in the week was therefore 27 8 degrees. The mean daily range was 19 . 1 degrees. The range on Monday was 26 . 5 degrees. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air tempera ture was 7.4 degrees. The mean degree of humi dity of the air was 78, complete saturation being represented by 100. On Saturday the humidity was only 67. The wind was for the most part in the south-west. The fourth part of an inch of rain fell, most of it on Thursday. The mean of the high est temperatures of the water of the Thames was 62.9 degrees ; the mean of the lowest was 60.7 deg.

MANCHESTER, Juno 10.--The political news from America, the improved commercial advices from India, the firmness of the Liverpool cotton market, and the harvest prospects, all conspire to-day to give more confidence, and we have again had a more active demand for cotton yarn and cloth. In yarn there has been a good deal of business, and prices have advanced id. per lb. upon last week's rates. The business would have been a good deal larger had spinners been willing to accept the rates they would have taken on Friday last, but there is a general disposition among all classes of pro ducers to raise their terms, and they find their h fi a rm nd n s es a s gnotodLdievaelrsptornelnagnthdetnheedgbryowthieng scarcity of activity and the raw material. We have found merchants buy ing yarns for all markets to-day—China, Bombay, Calcut a, the Mediterranean, Germany, and the home trade. D oubled yarns, which have of late been much neglected, have been a good deal inquired for, and there has been a fair business, ranging over all counts, from 80's to 120's. The telegrams are from Calcutta to the 24th and from Bombay to the 26th of May, quoting a considerable advance in yarns, and of 1 anna to 4 annas (lid. to 6d.) per piece upon the various descriptions of shirtings. This news, with the continued advance in cotton at Liverpool, has caused a considerable business to be done in our Manchester cloth-market yesterday and to-day, and the sales embrace most of the usual fabrics for India at an advance of 13-d per piece, and in some instances rather more. Most of the old stocks of cloth, which have been held from six to nine months past, made of American cotton, have this week been cleared off. Low T-cloths, longcloths, and domestics are more difficult of sale. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" Since Tues day last there has been a large business done in the better qualities of India and China shirtings at the full rates of that day. Yesterday and to-day, owing to the better accounts to hand per telegraph from Bombay and Calcutta; and the continued rise in the Liverpool market, an advance of about 3d. per piece is generally asked, but so far this checks business. In other goods there is no change to report, the demand continuing on a very limited scale, but prices well supported." cloth `halls to-day have b een of a holida y ch a rac t er.

The wool purchased at the recent series of colonial sales in London is coming to hand. It is well reported of, being mostly of the medium or best qualities. Generally the price of wools, English, colonial, and foreign alike, are steady. ROCHDALE, 91h.—The market for both flannels and wools has been of a quiet character to-day, but fair business is reported from the warehouses during the past week. The finer and medium qualities of goods are the most in request, but little being done in low goods. The shipping trade remains flat, es pecially the American trade. The 'Yorkshire goods trade is much the same as lately reported. The prices of wool keep steady, and there is a fair de mand, considering het usual disposition s hown on the eve of the new clip coming into the market. THE NEW FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.

" In reply to an official inquiry from Major- General Pope General Halleck stated he included newspapercorrespondents among the "unauthorised hangers-on." All the journalists who could be notified then met, and with a single exception united in presenting this memorial to Major-Gen. Halleck:— " ' General,—The undersigned loyal citizens and accredited representatives of loyal journals respect fully represent that they came in compliance with the order of Secretary Stanton, authorising jour nalists to go with the army, some of them bearing passes issued by his authority, and have remained here several weeks for the sole and exclusive pur pose of recording the pending battle. They are now informed that Field Older No. 64 requires them to leave the army lines. " 'While they will not attempt to remain unless they can do so openly, with the permission of Ma jor •Gen. Halleck, there are many newspaper letter writers attached to the army in fictitious capacities who, notwithstanding any precautions that may be taken, will succeed in evading Field Order No. 54, and remaining with the army, while the duly ac credited and responsible representatives of the press are excluded; which is manifest injustice to themselves and the journals which they represent. " While desirous of avoiding everything inju rious to the army, or any portion of it, they repre sent that their exclusion just on the event which they came here especially to record will be unjust to the loyal journals and to the country which looks to them for information ; and they respectfully ask whether, as has been suggested by Colonel Scott, Assistant-Secretary of War, there are any condi tions on which they will be permitted to remain. " To this memorial we tried to secure a written answer, but failed. Gen. Halleck replied verbally that he knew nothing of our loyalty, that the enemy had spies in our camps, and that to make sure of ex cluding them he had resolved to exclude all civi lians and would make no exceptions. If we could suggest any way of obviating this diffiulty in our case he had no objection to our remaining. He alleged no offence against any of us as journalists, and said repeatedly, "I have no objection to what you may write. I care nothing about what the newspapers publish." " ' After further conference, held at his sugges tion, we unitedly presented the- following resolu tion : " That we will all present to Gen. Halleck sa tisfactory proofs of loyalty; give him our where abouts in the army, that he may know where to find us at all times, and give the exact parole of honour which the Secretary of War has announced will be required of journalists as a condition precedent to their passing within the army lines under his order, which is now in force in all the other military departments of the United States. " Upon reading the resolution General Halleck replied abruptly, 'lt will not do at all ;' repeated that he would take no proofs of our loyalty, and turned his back upon the committee, who at once withdrew. " The order, in its general application, is not rigidly enforced. Many civilians remain in the camp ; others pass in daily from the rear without encountering any obstacles. On the day before our conference civilians passed directly from General Halleck's head-quarters on the most travelled road through the camps, and outside all our pickets, toward Corinth without interruption. We ourselves might have remained, as the regimental and general officers freely tendered us nominal military positions, or offered to assist otherwise in evading the order, but self-respect forbade us to assume borrowed robes or dodge provost-marshals by skulking like criminals in places of concealment. But one honour able course was left us—our immediate withdrawal. " Two of our number had passes authorising them to pass within the lines of any United States Forces, issued at the War Department by order of the Secretary of War,' and signed by Colonel Anson Stager. General Halleck said he had no official knowledge of the issue of such passes, and if he had he should not respect them. General Halleck sug gested that if we would remain in the rear of the army be would furnish the news. Inquiry, however, showed that he meant merely to give us access to a bulletin board at Pittsburg Landing, 17 miles in the rear, on which are posted abstracts of the despatches to the Associated Press. " Thus far the Associated Press despatches have been just and reliable, but General Halleck only permits them so long as they are prepared under his supervision by a member of his staff. " The matter amounts, therefore, simply to this, that General Halleck, for the alleged purpose of ridding the camp of spies,'.determines that the people of the United States shall have no informa tion in the public press (unless smuggled through) concerning the condition of his army, treatment, and conduct of its soldiers, or the management of battles and other movements, save such as come from himself or some officer of the army whom he shall designate.
