As a respected contemporary some time since file clued, peace or war was decided not by generals and potentates, but by some half-dozen elderly gentlemen with spectacles on nose, and account books in hand, who decide amongst themselves on the reception that a new loan would be likely to re ceive on the bourses of Europe, and. encourage or suppress, according to the result, the ardent spirit, in the would be belligerents. At first but little is thought on this all important question. Auto crat.' and despots plunge into hostilities, with as little forethought as s9ntimental young ladies into matrimony. The former have just as vague notions respecting making " war pay its own ex penses" as the latter have of " love in a cottage," and of the objects of their tender affection being litviUirt4 to accept Government situations" when thefew pounds available have been squandered on the wedding excursion. A stern law, however, • ePeedily dispels the pleasing illusions of Princes and of love-sick demoiselles. The formar find that " enthusiasm" will not fill a military chest, or Dre•vide pay and rations and means of subsistence for their soldiers, about the same time, that the latter discover that " love" will not liquidate the butchers' and batte r ; bills; and that although the cottage arr4e m ay be very elegant for a small f am ily free from juvenile responsibilities, the s t arn demands of landlord and tax-collector must b.e met with something mare substantial than - either tears or kisses. So it will be with the Indian mutineers. They hare thought of nothing 33 yet but the destruc tion, under the most horrible circumstances, of the Feringhees." It was rufficient that they ca u ia slaughter officers, whose chief, if not their only fault, was that they had exhibited extraordi• bary kindness towards their assailants, and degrade and dishonour English women. Pampered and petted as they were, with all their ridiculous scruplea recognised and respected, with ample means that rendered them objects of envy to the surrounding population, they turned against their br.nefactors—ready to " rend the hands that gays them food." But they had not calculated en their available resources. The mock King of Thum might promise double pay and double allowances to every deserter ; but whence would it proceed ? Where would be the "gold melburs" and shining "rupees" with which these ob- eip 12.= "V . -4 14 T A C i 'lO 0 Fiti , ligations are to be liquidated ? The senile candidate for the " Musmud " might pass a few lakhs, or possibly even a " crore" of rupees accumulated. But how long would the largest conceivable amount supply the demands, and exigencies, of these discontented spirits? Plunder might for a time act as a useful auxiliary, but what would the wealthy bankers, jewellers, and shopkeepers of Delhi and the other disturbed dis trict;, think of such a course, which, however pleasing to the military, would be by no means agreeable to the civilian portion of the popula tion. Systematic robbery would speedily ex haust the fountains of wealth, and it is obvious that, with an army encamped before Delhi, ordi nary fiscal resources could not be made available without our organisation. We find it a hard task to wring the authorised contributions from the hard hands of the contributors, and for years to come the mutineers could not obtain from similar sources the means of support. Large sums have unquestionably been taken from the public treasuries. Many of the rebels have secured considerable " swag," but it has been what is termed, on their own " private hook." They have not even sympathised with the " com panions of Jehu," who only robbed "for the good of the cause." The rebel sepoys put the plunder in their own pockets, and held it for their own use. The miscreants who were killed, had gene rally large sums in specie on their persons, trans ferable by what is termed " the rule of thumb," but that does not fill the treasury or make up the means for paying soldiers. " JOHN CoSIPANY" bas Great Britain at its back. Our guarantee will still be available. But the octogenarian quasi MOGUL has nothing to look to. A rumour was circulated that he had been hanged, n)t as he ought to be, by a British executioner, but by the mutineers. Such an event is by no means improbable at any time, and each day must increase the danger of the would-be King of INDIA. The resources cannot be maintained, and s. d., or perhaps we ',should say rupees and annas, may prove no less formidable to the Ma homedan Pretender than the muskets and bayo nets of the avenging army, determined that the slaughter of their countrymen and the degradation of their countrywomen shall be fully and com pletely expiated. Amidst all the horrors of revolt in India, and all the dearth of legislative reforms at home—with darkening prospects before us of the continuance of a war income-tax, and of the probable delay yet longer of the promised improvement of the parliamentary system—we have at any rate the immediate and substantial consolations derivable from a magnificent harvest, and from crops (gene• rally) of unusual abundance. It is a circumstance at all times of importance, but it periods like these (periods otherwise disastrous) it is, we may truly say of the very last importance. A harvest like the present comes to us in mitigation, most opportunely. It yields the nation at once solace and encouragement. It inspirits us to bat tle manfully with the evils we are called upon to contend against simultaneously with the good thus directly enjoyed from the bounty of Heaven. And the magnitude of this good may be at once more fully appreciated if it be only considered for a moment how deplorably our present anxieties would have been multiplied, if to the horrors of war abroad, in India, in China, and until very recently in Persia also, there had been added the miseries of a deficient harvest—all this coming moreover upon the very morrow of the close of the Crimean conflict—a struggle as ruinously expen sive as it was, alas, fruitlessly sanguinary. Every thing considered it becomes, indeed, mat ' ter for earnest gratulation amongst ourselves that —with no Reforms and plenty of Bloodshed—the harvest generally all over the land is repaying our husbandmen a hundredfold. From all quarters the intelligence received in this way is a great deal more than simply satisfactory. It is of a kind to inspire us with gratitude and exultation. It is much more than an average crop ; it is a crop in many directions unusually plentiful. Sometimes the improvement observable is simply one of gnat.- tity—sometimes one of quality—sometimes (and this frequently) of both together. It is the same thing pretty well with the wheat crops, and the oat crop, with the crops of rye and barley, with the whole variety of careal products collectively. And as with the grain, so, for the most part is it with the fruit generally. Particularly in the apple-growing counties—Devonshire for instance —where the cider pressers give promise of affluent overflowings. Meanwhile our English vineyards, such for example as the beautiful hop gardens of Kent, present a contrast more than ordinarily re- markable to the great continental vineyards, where the grape disease has still revealed a very deplor able prevalence. The yield of hops, generally speaking, throughout the hop-growing districts, being here of peculiar excellence, there of an abundance quite extraordinary. Simultaneously with these good tidings, there has come to us from Ireland the happy intelligence of the almost uni versal disappearance Gf that destructive blight among the potatoes, which, for some years past, had really seemed to threaten the extermination of that important vegetable. It yields one the hope that that other serious scourge of vegetation, already referred to, may prove, after all, one of merely temporary duration—that disease of the grape vine which has hitherto been so far spread, and so virulent as to threaten the wine-countries in the south of France, in Germany, and in the Iberian peninsula, with universal desolation. Consoled by a harvest so opportunely abundant, England will now, we may rest ,assured, with double energy and renewed determination, continue resohitely to encounter and to conquer all her op posing difficulties. Drained though she has boa n of 100,000,0001. by the late deplorable, because utterly futile and bootless, war with Russia, she will yet begrudge no additional war-expenditure, however considerable, if by means of theme new disbursements through the Horse Guards, and the Admiralty, and the Ordnance, and the Commis sariat, and the other War Departments, she ►nay only witness the evidences of vigour, promptitude, and unflinching determination on the part of the Imperial Government. Whatever recruits, what ever money that Government may demand, they will have at once yielded to them,.without demur by the country, and yielded cheerfully, if, iu return for this confidence in their rulers, the people only behold a resolute repression of the Indian mutiny and a strong though t trdy rejoin der to Chinese Zinsolanca- Nothing more than time we do really believe is wanted fur the accomplishment of both these great enterprises. Ana a very brief interval, please GOD, will bo amply sufficient inoec to falsify utterly and egregiously prophecies of the Unive.rs newspaper. It is not reserved y et for Mr. J. MiTcuELL, or any oth er o f the ruffianly Irish Sepoys to exult over the discomfiture of what the Hero of the Pike once foamed at (with more of alliteration than of eloquence) as "the bloody old British Empire." The Norfolk Parsons and Squires app ear to have taken rabbits under their special care. •Not very long ago we had Lord HASTINGS committin g labourers to prison for stealing rabbits from theic own commons, and all but fighting a duel with an editor who saw fit to publish his opinion of such Justice's justice. Indeed, his Lordship's violence went so far that an indictment was actually pre ferred against him at the Norwich Assize;, and would have been tried in Court but for a timely apology from the rabbit-preserving peer. We commented on the case at the time. It was one of great hardship to the morally innocent labourers, and in our judgment, as is that of the Editor of the Norfolk News, the men were legally innocent also, and were denied justice simply because their means did not admit of an appeal being made to a superior Court. In the local journal just referred to, we notice another rabbit case, and one in which we think the men were treated very harshly, there being some good ground to doubt, in this case also, whether the law was not strained against them. The special hardship of the case lay in the cir cumstances under which the rabbits were killed, even if the act were, by a rigid construction of the statute, illegal. All England over there are certain perquisites falling to the lot of labourers in every department. Those who labour or lounge in many a Government office pick up some, but none are luckier in that line than ecclesias tics. From the Bishop, and his numerous appointees, zegistrars, chancellors, surrogates, and we know not what, to the rectors and vicars, perhaps in some case to the very curates, fur whose spiritual-mindedness, as well as for that of bishops, we pray de- voutly every Sunday—to all of these goodly perquisites are ever and anon falling; renewals of leases and fuses in the case of the Conferrers of spiritual gifts, and what we call foes in the case of the receivers of such gifts. And these perqui sites to the spiritually gifted are, as we know by the Burial-ground struggles, clung to with an ex traordinarily tenacious grasp ;la five-pound note also or a five shillings for a marriage, seems to be duly appreciated ; and very grave does the man in holy orders look if a well-to-do bridegroom does not cross his palm with something for luck beyond what he can legally claim. Something over, to the tier of the knot, is expected for good fellowship's sake, and on such a festive occasion. We doubt not the Rev. T. J. BLOFIELD has often thought with pleasure of some present for his wife or daughters, if he have any, to be purchased with the proceeds of a wedding windfall. Now, the Rev. T. J. BLOFIELD is the owner . of some land at Hoveten, St. John, which land he lets to a Mr. JOHN BOURNE. On this land two young men, JOHN SMITH and SAMUEL IVES, were engaged in the hard but' cheerful labour of har vest. They were mowing some oats. Now, from time immemorial, if labourers would but mow round a nest of winged game in summer, they always expected to be indulged a little in re gard to the game that could run. They would not perhaps chase a hare in the presence of the squire or the gamekeeper if they knew it ; but it the scythe disabled one, and "the poor thing wa' put out of its misery," and lay under a labourer's jacket till night, and was put into the pot for his supper the next night, no rea sonable squire or farmer knew it, not even if he had seen it. It was a harvest windfall ; " a bit of luck for the poor fellow, who had not meat too often," and so forth. But if a rabbit came in the way, that was an acknowledged per quisite. A labourer would hardly think of an apology for killing a rabbit in the barley ho was mowing ; that was an acknowledged perquisite of harvest ; perhaps he could not legally claim it, but like the Rev. J. F. BLOFIELD, by the extra marriage fee, he thought it would make a pleasant treat for his wife and family, and custom gave ii him in the merry time of harvest. . But the Rev. J. F. BLOFIELD, however Mel he may approve of wedding joys overflowing in sovereigns for the priest, and silk and crinoline for the females of his family, does not approve of the toilsome but merry days of harvest providing , a chance hot meat supper for a labourer's family. The smiling faces of little JOHN and SALLY count ing on a limb of rabbit next day—the pleasure of " my missus" preparing the comfortable mess for "my master" on his return from his next day's toil ; and the comfortable anticipations of the senior JOHN himself on his walk home, have no charm for the man of wedding fees ! Itabbit4, yes, even rabbits—the poor man's game by cus tom as old as the custom of bouncing wedding fees—must no longer be even a harvest perquisite! Labourers are first denied the right of killing them on their own common allotment ; and then refused the privilege of bagging one which the luck of harvest, andof custom immemorial has given them. Now, we submit that this is hard. The clerical rabbit-owner does not wish to be dealt with ac cording to strict law himself when custom suits Min better than law ; ought he then to tie down the poor labourer to the most rigid construction of the most execrable laws, still retained from feudal barbarism in our present code ? Of the rev, gentleman referred to we know nothing. We never heard his name before ; but we submit to him that such rigidity in a clergyman is not the way to win the hearts of his flock. The case itself is soon told. Mr. BLOFIELD set a man to watch the labourers (whom he had told generally not to kill the rabbits) ; the man saw two killed by the mowers. One it was shown was wounded fatally, and accidentally, by the scythe first ; the other was chased a little way. But the men were not proved to have known of the prohibition, which was cf recent date ; and, whether they knew or not, they were but follow ing the custom of harvest. They were not tres passing, but pursuing their lawful calling, and it was not shown in Court that they were men of poaching habits. The 30th clause of the Act 1 and 2 War. IV., c. 32, under which they were prosecuted, expressly mentions trespassing in pur suit of game ; but the Magistrates—game pre servers themselves, no doubt—decided, that though not trespassing by being on the lauds, they became trespassers by going after rabbits ! A nice point, indeed, of law—one of which the poor men should certainly have had the benefir, as they could not try it by al peal. Under these circumstances the Magistrates fined the poor men sixpence each, which with the costs made the total penalty EIGHTEEN SHILLINGS each. Of course no Norfolk farm labourer could pay such a sum at once ; one week only is allowed them ; when, if they cannot pay Gd. each fur their guilt, and 17.5. Gd. for the benefit of the Magistrates' Clerk and other officers of justice to prison they mint go 1 THE GREAT GLOBE, LEICESTER SQUARE. DIORAMA OF DELHI.

PARIS, THURSDAY. The Moniteur has a letter from the Camp of the 23d, stating that the Imperial Guard bivouacked on Monday at la Suippe, in splendid weather, and returned the following day, at noon, to camp. The Emperor saw the Duke of Cambridge to the rail way station at Mourmelon, and then set out for Luneville ; from which place another despatch ap pears, stating the rejocings there in honour of the Emperor. Prince Jerome Napoleon, says the Illoniteur, will preside at the Council of Ministers during the Emperor's absence. The Univers contains the following : "The Constitutioirne/ is wrong in calling India an English colony. The English are only encamped in and are not established there. They have inter dicted the colonisation of India in order to prevent the recurrence of the spectacle given by the United State 4, in order to escape from the necessity of abandoning a colony which has attained too great a power to re, main united to the mother country. They have suc ceeded, but the danger has arisen from another side, and it is the vanquishel race that has shaken off the yoke. The English have taken no root in India. They are there for commercial motives, and they oppress the natives in the name of the leant generous and least ex cnsable sentiments of human nature. Europe dues not sympathise with England in this struggle ; it is neit'm r in the honour nor interest of Europe to prefer the domi nation of England in India to the affranchisement of the natives." The Spectateur expresses some surprise at tin articles published by the Patric on the isolation of Austria, and bears witness to the national feeliu created in Germany by the approaching interview .)f two foreign sovereigns on German soil. It says:-- ."For the last few days the Patric has published ‘rtieles on the of AustriA, which have aVracted ,ouch attenti.)n in Germany. We will not discuss the ',oaring of these articles, but we may inquire if it is by , mere chance or by intention that they appear, between the visit at Osborne and the interview at Stuttgard, in a journal which, from its position in the press, is inspired with much reserve ? Tee French Jouraal of Frauk fort, under the head of ' The Stuttgard Interview,' ad wits that the said meeting has excited mistrust in Ger teeny ; it says—'This interview of t w o f ore i gn sove reigns on German soil, on the territory of a state which belonged formerly to the Confederation of the Rhine, coupled with the absence of the sovereigns of Austiia and Prussia, has inspired a mistrust which is scarcely Usguieed. In Germany, the press views in this meot ing a first step towards•an attempt on the unity of the federal relations.' If the Patric counts in its editorial tanks writers who are well able to jud ge o f w h a t i s pas -- ing in government circlesin Paris, the Frankfort Jour very exactly informed l We may add, on the authority of private intelligence which has rarely misled us, that it is not only in Austria th a t a t l eas t a p or ti on of the enjoys tone the of o reputation t i i of the population views with a certain 'mistrust' th e in terview at St u ttgard.

It is moreover to be observed that the journals of Berlin, Koenigsberg, and other Prussian towns, openly declare that it is requisite to draw closer to Austria, slid we are as sured that England is actively engaged in encou raging this intimacy of the two courts. We draw no conclusion from these facts and rumours ; we confine ourselves to the role of spectator and of echo." __ BOURSE, Sept. 24.—The following were the list quota.ions :--• Cash. .

Perry, from Alexandria. Amongst the cargo of the Colombo were 1,285 boles of silk, with large quantities of gum, wool, elephants teeth, opium, mother-of-pearl and shawls, together with specie to the value of 4,8001. Her Majesty's ship Desperate and Caradoc were at Alexandria. The Tartarus was surveying in Aboukir Bay, the Hibernia and Boxer were at Malta, the Vigilant was en route to Cagliari, the Vulturd and Curlew were at Gibraltar, Admiral Lord Lyons' squadron was at Algiers when last heard of. The Egyptian government had purchased the steamer Persia, formerly in the Australian Com pany's service. . The Colomb ) arrived off lhe Needles last night, but fur want of a pilot did not enter the Solent. She passed Hurst Castle at half-past six this morn ing, and cm° up Southampton Water, and was fastened on the West India buoy, off Netley Abbey, until the tide rose and enabled her to go into the docks, which she entered at one o'clock this after neon. Numerous steamers and boats went off to her for her mails and passengers. The India mail was landed first and despatched, and then the Aus tralian mail was landed and despatched to the General Pust-office. The whole of the mail brought by the Colombo consisted of about 320 boxes and bags of letters and newspapers. The Lady Mayoress arrived at Radley's Hotel, in this town, from London, yesterday, to await the arrival of the Colombo, in order to render any as sistance to the fugitives from India that - they might require. Intelligence of the approach of the Co lombo off the Needles was communicated to her ladyship, and she remained up all night in cense quenCe. Early this morning the Lady Mayoress, accompanied by Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton, of London, proceeded down Southampton Water to the Colombo in a small steamer that had brought the Indian mail ashore. Her ladyship was dressed in deep mourning, for the loss of her brother, Col. Finuis, who was killed by the mutinous sepoys at Meerut. Dr. Symes, a resident of Southampton, who has fitted up apartments in his house for any of the destitute Indicn refugees, was also early on board the Indian mail packet. The Mayor of South ampton proceeded to the Colombo in another small steamer, accompanied by Captain Engledue, the superintendent of the Peninsularand Oriental Com pany, and other gentlemen. The Lady Mayoress, as soon as she was on board the Colombo, was conducted to Captain Field's cabin, and her object in visiting the ship was communicated with the utmost delicacy to the passengers. Numerous rela tives and friends of the passengers also went on board, and their meeting with their friends from India was au affecting sight. They embraced each other in seeming unconsciousness of the presence of strangers,' and paced the deck with their arms en circling each other's waists. A great number of the passengers went ashore in one of the small steamers. A crowd of persons was in the dock, and here also affectionate greet'ngs took place be tween lung abs , nt friends and relatives, which drew tears from many a bystander. There were about sixty children on board the Indii.n mad packet, a large portion of whom were infants in arms, all of them hurried out of India on account of the fearful atrocities committed there. The scene on board the Colombo was very different from that which usually takes place on board homeward India packets. The usual female .passengers on board these ships are ladies in the gayest spirts and dressed in the - gor geous silks and shawls of the East ; but many of the lady passengers of the Colombo bore marks of great sufferings and anxieties, and their dresses betokened their losses, and the rapidity of their flight from the mutinous districts. Many of these passengers escaped from Delhi, Lucknoev, and other parts of Oude. Fortunately, they started from those places at the commencement of the mutinies. The language of their husl.ands was, " Get out of the country with the children as soon as you can, and never mind us." Many of them have never heard any thing of their husband since. Some of the ladies escaped nearly naked, lived in the jungle for days with their infant children, starving, and rarely able to get a handful of rice to satisfy the cravings of hunger. Few villagers were willing to assist them, and many of those who were willing were afraid t do so. Not the least interesting refugee on board the Colombo was a lit•le dog. It bad escaped from Delhi by faithfully following'its mistress and her children. It had nearly pail a heavy penalty for its fidelity. Its back had been literally burnt by th e sun, and is no: healed yet. some of the passenger s give a frightful picture of the state of Calcutta and the interior provinces of India. Many a time all the persons in the employ of the Peninsular and Oriental Company scught shelter on board the company's steamers, the gun i s of which were shotted, and on board which armed watches were kept night and day. The news of,the mutinies at Meerut and Delhi came upon the inhabitants of Calcutta like 4 thunder clap. At Ceylon all the European troops had left for the, Bengal Presidency, and none but Sepoy and Malay soldiers are left at Point de Gallo and Colombo. The Malay soldiers are eager to fight the Sepoy mutineers, whom they cordially hate. The Australian mail steamer , was at Aden when the Bentinck was at that port. The Australian passengers brought to Suez by the 0 Colombian landed here to-day from the Colombo. The Tamar, therefore, which took out the last overland mail, will only bring home the specie and cargo of the Colombian. Aboutl,ooo/. islikely to be raised in Southampten for the Indian sufferers. A letter has been received here from the East India Company stating that no official list of the persons massacred in Cawnpore has been received in-England. Mr. Delafosse and Mr. Bruce, who escaped from Cawnpore, are CJL fleeted with Southampton. GENERAL HAVELOCK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,.—l have .waited vainly for some days in the hope that I she'll I see some distinguished mark of royal favour best3wed upon that great man on whose proceedings trio eyes of the country are anxiously fixed as the one hope of Englandiu India, Galicia]. Havelock ; and all that has yet bean done to reward his glorious career is a pension of 100/, a-year, which he shams, I suppose, in common with fifty or a hundred ordinary men ! Is it possibl°, tir, that any cold etiquette can be allowed to stand iu the way of the expres4ion cf that intense gratitude which I venture to say the nation foals fur those brave and glorious deeds ? Who knows how soon a life of such toil and such peril may be cut shoat? Let it not be said that any time was lost in rewarding it while it lasted. Let the very next mail carry to General Havelock the news that his services appre:iated in Eng land, and that no honour is grudged to the man who with a handful of brave soldi'era has encoun tered over and over again incalculable odds and in eve ry conflict has come off victorious. _ - Little do our rulers appear to be aware of all that they lose by failing to reward, or by reward ing tlo late, the services of such a man as Have lock. Da they imagine t'iat France would have left such an officer for one week ungracycl by every tip le of honour and every form of reward which sol diers value or a grateful country can bestow ?—I am, sir, your obedient servant; _ PHILAGAT EIO3. [Our cot respondent should male all .IVAIICO for the fact that there is scarcely a Minister in LAid.t , n, teat Lord Panmuis is more intent on the destruc tion of grouse than of mutineers, and that " the fountAiu of Honour" itself is far away in the High- laud.s out of nm:3ll even of telegraph. - - EDITOR , OF THE TIMES Two private letters from Calcutta, dated the Bth of August, state that 500 French troop; had arrived in the - Emilio at the same time as the *Lannon. We presu , ne these Frerich troops have come from Chins to . defend French interests at Chandernagore. AMERICAN AFFAIR& We extract the following from a letter dated New York, Sept. 12 : The long-pending negotiations between New Grenada and the United States have ended—the mountain has brought forth a mouse of an indem nity treaty. The people murdered in the Isthmus riots are to be paid for, those wounded. are to be indemnified, and a commission is to sit to deter mine who were killed and who were wounded, and now much ought to be paid in each case. The ;mat political questions of difference are left as beforeL.or rather worse than before—for discussion having been broached, and the parties having failed to agree, each party will have the pleasure of ad hering all the more firmly to its own views. The State of tPanatha laid, and still lay claim to levy a capitation-tax on passengers from the Eastern United States to the Western passing through its territory ; a severe tonnage-tax upon the shipping of the United States coming to the transit ports ; a heavy impost upon the goods passing in transit ; and onerous postal%harges upon the mailsfrom New York to California. The right to levy these rates, which have been resisted by the United States, is left unsettled. This Government will not subinit to them. It avows that it considers all these ques tions settled by existing treaties, and if the New Grenada authorities are so unwise as to provoke the question there will be every disposition to en force the American construction. They say that before American capital flowed through the Isth mus to the shores of the Pacific the track now tra velled by the locomotive was a wilderness, the site of Aspinwall a deadly swamp, and the streets of Panama overgrown with grass. The life and the wealth which it now possesses are the offspring of American enterprise. It is not right that after hav ing done so much fur the country capital and enter prise should be further taxed for the support of a set of lazy fellows who have not energy enough to take care of themselves. But they say further, we are not obliged to• fall back on the natural rights which the comity of nations gives to every Power. These questions have already been determined be tween the two countries by existing treaties, which the United State's will enforce. New Granada, oa the other hand, plays lamb to the American wolf, with this trifling exception, that it stands above the wolf in the stream. The "hard times" still continue. E day some new failures are announced. It would be wor'e than useless to burden your columns with the un known names. The banks have been for a few days back discounting more freely, but money is still in so great demand that holders of excellent investments are. obliged to throw them on the market, and sacrifice them at present prices. The Bauk Stocks are now feeling the effect of the pressdre in this way. Bank of Commerce shares, for instance, which commanded 108 not long ago, now sell at 95, and other banks in pro portion. In fact, everything is locked up. Sinoe Michigan Southern and Ohio Life and two great borrowers are out of the way the market ought to be easier, but the effect of their stopping has been to create such a want of confidence that business is carried on with difficulty. The dry goods people are the first to feel the pressure. I think I have several times pointed out to you that they would probably have trouble this autumn—though in saying this 1 certainly have no wish to claim to be a Cassandra, or to have foreseen the present state of things. Considering it as I do entirely unreasonable, with out a sufficient cause for its intensity, I have no wish to claim the demerit of having been its pro phet: To go back to the dry goods dealers, they are at present the heaviest sufferers, and in the worst repute. The produce dealers stand next. Flour must fall. They may try to keep it up by combina tion, but with a great crop in Europe and a great crop in the West combinations will be useless. At present the home crop is stationary, both because nobody has money enough•to move it, and because all interested in it are disposed to hold on for higher prices. But that state of things cannot last long. The wheat must come to marks-, the rail ways must have the transportation, the farmers must have money to pay their grocers' bills and for their wives' dresses—the first end of the hou , e that Jack built. And when the crop gets out bread will be cheap—the first and surest sign of returning prosperity. On the whole I think things look bettor than when I last wrote ; and could one foresee the course of Indian contest and the effect of the New York cramp upon extended Western credit, we might be disposed to think it sunshiny. The Banks are discounting more freely, andtheir specie reserve has increased nearly $3,000.000, and will show on Monday between $12,000,000 and $13,000,000. Specie keeps flowing in here from the country. So far as the moneyed institutions are concerned they feel decidedly better than a week ago. The two things I have alluded to above give the principal reason for tear in the future. New York is not so very expanded for the amount of its capital, Lor is its real estate swelled to fabulous prices. But there are little towns in the West where every man considers himself worth half-a-million (in building lots), and gives his obligations accordingly. A tumbledown there may react injuriously upon New York ; but in no respect as it did 20 years ago. This country is nowsolidlyprosperous; and though, as in all times of prosperity, there will be over trading, over-speculating, over-gambling, and fol lowing checks, revulsions, and failures, and though even some solid fortunes may t nmble with the gorge ous palaces and cloud-capped visions of the gam bl, re, the great agricultural districts are far richer than ever before, the commercial towns have much more accumulated capital than in any former crisis, the manufacturers are rich, and the accumulating capital of a single year can wipe out all the indebted• ness that presses heavily —can, that, is if people, instead of foolishly falling helpless iu fright, will put on. a gentle but steady curb, and check instead of stop. As to the other cause, the Indian trouble 4, they are regarded herewith an interest second only to that which they excite in London. We have no sons fighting, no daughters being massacred, but the intercourse between the two countries has been so intim ite that there are few American gentlemen have nut more or less acquaintances in the British army. And, even without the exci'ement of per sonal interest, no human being can read without emotion the stories of the savage atrocities perpe trated in India. The commercial effect, too, of tie revolt is felt here almost as soon as in London. Long ago the electric wire of mutual interest was laid be tween two great monetary centres. THE SULTAA'S CONTRIBUTION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS IN INDIA. The following is a copy of the correspondence which has taken place between the Turkish am bassador and the Lord Mayor, with reference to the relief of those who are suffering in India : "Bryanston-square, Sept. 23, 1857. "My Lord Mayor,—l have the honour to inform you that his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, my august Sovereign, has been pleased to order the sum of 1,0001. to be sent to me for transmission to you as hie subscrip tion to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Indian mutiny. "luclosing herewith accordingly a cheque for the above amount, I have• the honour to be, my LTrd Mayor, your very obedient servant, " C. Musunus. " The Right Hon. the Llrd Mayor, &o. &a." " Sir,—l have have had the honour to receive and lay before the committee your Excellency's letter, dated 234 September, stating that his Imperial Majesty the Sultan has been pleased to order the sum of 1,0001. to be paid to me, as his subscription to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the mutiny of India. "The eommittee have received with great satisfaction the proof which this munificent donation affords of the sympathy of the Sultan. Persons of every rel gion in India are left to worship God according to their own persuasion, without any interference ; and the govere merit is considered as a trust from Almighty God, with a view to the benefit of the people. These fundamental maxims will never be departed from, and, with God's blessing upon them, India will attain to a degree of prosperity wnich she ha s never yet enjoyed. "The committee request that your Excellency will convey to the Sultan their respectful and grateful ac knowledgments for his contribution, and that you will i n form his Imperial Majesty how highly it has been appreciated. " I have the honour to be, sir, 3 onr Exeelleney's most obedient humble servant, "THOMAS Q. FINNIS, Mayor." His Excellency the Netherlands Minister is staying at the Lew, Ross-shire, on a visit to Sir James and Lady Matheson. The Marquis Conyngbam and Lady Cecilia Conyng ham have arrived at the St. George's Rota. The Earl ar.d Countess of Dunraven and family left Farrauca's Hotel, Belgravia, on Thursday, for th 3 Con- ti neat.
