THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1857, AMERICA. Orleans. There discrepancies in prices are attributable -chiefly to the disturbances in the rate of exchangebetween the American cities named and Liverpool, and between each other, growing hut of the unsettled state of the do medic currency. Many merchants have sent orders to their correspondents in the country, where collections were due, ra•her than pay the heavy premium on ex change demanded to purchase produce at market rates, and forward the same on their account. This movement, of course, includes breadstuffs, cotton, naval stores, and other articles. This charge in commercial routine wilt tend to keep the money in New York usually sent into the interior to purchase produce, while its arrival here will go to liquidate large amounts of debt. The receipts of cotton at the Sole hetn ports since the Ist of September show a decrease of about 143 000 bales compared with the same period last year. Flour was somewhat lees active yesterday, while prices were without mange of moment Wheat continued firm for good or choice lots, and the lower grades steady, with a good demand for export.

The applicant ought to have waited on Mr Mtnsfield the stipenuiary magis - rate at Liverpool, who would have lis'ened to his statement, and if necesQary, granted a summons or warrant.. He had repeatedly to listen to statements of illusage on board American ships on the h;gh seas, and he b heisted that great tyranny had been too tf en practise I on bard the vessels of that country, both to Amari( an awl other seaman of all nations The applicant said that he wished to coition his counttymen against joining American ships, for the laws of this country, it smiled, 11,d no.jurisdictim over them if off.nc:es were ecnamit ed on the high sets, and it was in-- p )ss;ble to obtain any re 1.-e a if the party injured were in any port cf the United States.

Not msny ni e hts before we got into Liverpool, these barbarians caused a Jocose to be made in one of the ropes from the mainmast, and made us put our legs in the uocse, and the ship being on a wind it got a lurch.

THE LADIES OF AMERICA. AND. THE FINANCIAI, REVULSION. . . • The knights of old were in the habit of wasting a great deal of valuable time by defending at sword's point the reputation of some particular damsel to whom they inclined. The Chevalier Cusiti , g goes further, and enters the lists to do battle fir all the belies. He dectaees that they are not at all respensibla for the present financial revulsion; that their flounces and furbelows are only a bagatelle in the question of exports and imports; that their crinoline did not step the Erie Railway ; that their silks did not break the Ohio Life and Trust Company ; that their kid gloves and Lilliputian boa nets had nothing to do with the stoppage of the great dry goods houses; and, further, that their style of dress is quite the correct thing in' every way. And he, the s- id Chevalier, makes public proclamation that he will defend this issue after the good old chivalric custom. Hear ye, all men ! the Cheva lier, armed at all points, his viz or down, his lance in rest. awaits the combat. The Knight of Salamanca sgain is in the field. Now. we do not yield to any man in devotion to the fair sex but we are bound to say that nearly all our countrywomen who have money or credit or could obtain either, have been foe( eceral years shainefelly extravagant; that they are almost entirely resprhsible for the exceasive imports of articles of luxury, which imports have drained one pecie reserve and 1 aded down isur warehouses with articles that are of no earthly use; and that they are even now spending too much for articles they do not need, but which they buy simply on , account of a decline in price. Let us see the figures : Tee total va'ue of the itenerte for the ravel Nea r e ndir g June 39, 1856, was 314,630,942 dole., of whieh .. f it articles of lnx try cons s mei by womee, we have spent 43 624,558 dole. Forty-4hree millions of dollars. That is equal to the A hole prodect of the gold mines in California far one year, and that would have more than eufficed to save us from the ciais. Of this sum 31,211,766 dole were paid for silks and menttfactures of silks; 6 376 853 doll. for laces and embrodieries ' • shawls. 2,520 771 dole ; glow o, 1,311 550 dots. ; fairs, 864,731 dole ; jewellery,. 811,630 do's. ; silk and wte-sted paece gaols, 1.335 .247 - d As, We ,epeude t two millions more for si,k then for auger, and so on. We haee omitted many item) which would tell against the women as it may be urged ,hat men consume a portion of t:e articles eh ire e iurneratsd. The articles ornitte bijouterie, erti6ciel flowere, French shoes and b ots. fanny articles, aad a thousand aid one fripperies that make up that wonderful mystery, a feshionable womans attire - would more than balance the account. There is e.litthe item of 41 000 dole. for perfumed slap, which' pi e a good index so the whole thing. Again, it non. 4 be remembered that these figures are.taken from the Treasury reports, and that the ar idles are valued :it some thing under the wholesale rote, while our fair countrywomen are charged upon all such matters as laces at least 100 por cent. profit. A set of laces which coat in Peril 20 dols, could rot be boug'st hers in flesh times for less than 60 dole It should further be rememberei that 29,005 or 39,000 of our women either reside abroad or g o Europe nearly evai-yr summer. The amount of rich wears—silk?, swine, velvets, shawls, and -jewellery— which they ru s through the Custotn.hense free is eetnethirg enormous—not less than 1,000;000 dole a year ; and all luseries of not the slightes-, use to anybody on the face of ,he earth. We have seen on beard one ship a lady inter as her personal baggage tw-mty large trunks. No princess in the world would have- so much The travelled American cannot fail to have noticed the marked distiecti ,n between the promenade ere:siva of our women and of those abroad. TIIO French and Englishwomen go cut to walk in plain, neat seivicesb'e dresses while ours dreg their heavy silk's in the Butt-rs. American wont m are guilty of shameful extravagance and bad taste in wearivg for walking dresses, te bee which are made for the carriage or the driaw:noaroom More W 3 might adage, fo • 'ha subject is of the deepest iusport•in?, ; but statistic. ally, quite enough has been proved. The worst fact of all remains to be stated. As far as she cristion ef fashion g +—how a robe shall be cut, or the exact s:za of a hat or the measure of circumference to be allowed to a skirt that is no geeet matter. L' women desire to mske .hem selves the tat gets of coarse j keg, it is not for Us to deny them that luxury. Bat we will put to the Chevalier Cushing, and those who think with him. the plain propo sitila that, as the women of America are p aced on a pedestal bit a little below the angels, as they, toil not (we mean the icemen who are gnil:y of extravagances Fuoll as we have noted) neither do they spin, the men have to pay all the bil s—whe her so much money can be spent for luxuries clad be a mere bap . elle in the qu,stion of ex ports and imports. We do nos: know that crinoline and kid gloves broke the Ohio Life and Trust Campanv probebly the president and der eters can tell better. Bat the msj wiry of our W 0.7133 in good circumstances are drag, upon their huebands instead of b ing holp• mares to then If one does her duty simply it is trumpeted throegh all the papers as an example of Spartan virtue. The inference is plain that such exam ples are ta . uivst, uupreed.;euttea. Women. ritually throw away their own money ; no one is more prudent and care fel than a woman wh s han a fortune in her own right; but once her t ; per &gars close on an other's elle-pie-book the erase of Hercules could not uulo Ise them. The Chevalier Cu-hing ask., "Di l the women b-o lc the dry goods howes ' Yes The women, is the flash times of '54-'55, spent tries as much money as they ought ; they were capricious and diffi 'o please —they de meaded new styles—the mvasins cf Paris and the manufactories of Lyons end Valencleetes and Brussels were ransacked f or them. Tne imp ortaions were double who: tem, should have been. Thee was nothing to pay for them with. The crisis came. The houses broke, and their counters gro :n with s uffe for which there is no market. Nowhere in V: e world are the women dressed so badly and so expensively as in America: When we go abroe lwe are as onieshed b 7 the simple morning and promentde eestumes of the daughters of the Iteglish nobility—men with rent rolls to which an American f rtures is a drop in the sea A French Counted, with a fietel income of 1.10) 000 a year, will not spend half so much on her dress as the wife of a New York merchant wh tee business may gye him a. profit of 10 000 dollars a year, and rosy bring him in debt to double that amount. Let not the Chevalier Cashing look at the vulgar display meds at Saratoga. Newport, or Cape Msy, and compare it with the modest attire of the aristocracy at Baden, Brighton, or Biarritz The fact is, oar women take French lorette fat hloes at second , hand, and were they so attired in a Eernpean city they woull be taken for what they seem to be reeler than what, they are. Wa trust that bele the women of Anißr'ea and their charn• pion will thi'.k seriously of these things, for they are the truth, and just now we mast drink the cup, however bitter it may 1)e. We do not believe that there is anything radically wrong in our wom‘n; we we willing to believe with the sage of Neebusy port, that any one of them, were she propee!y instructed. would b: as prompt to please by fengali'y as well as luxury, red proud to make any sec ifice of fashion at the voice of duty and love."

The complexion of the commercial accounts is more favourable. In the New York Stock Market, on the 28th, there was an active busibess done, hut with considerable fluctuations in price. A New York paper says : There was an active business at the Stock Board this morning, particularly in N. Y. Cenral, of which nearly 4,000 sh, res vrera sold, the market fluctuating serilusly. The stock opened at 631,:.against 63 yesterday, declined to 611 and then recovered to 631 regular. and 64, buyer thirty. The operators for a decline were disposed to sell. but generally on short•time. The foreign sews has been co;:strued as favourable, and the gold brought by the Persia e; conrages the bull party.

A despatch, dated Albany, Oct 28th, is as follewg The freshet is etill upon us. A - . twelve o'clock last night the water rose to its height, within two and a half feet of the great February freshet. The water remained sta tionary some six hours, when it began to recede, and during the last twelve hours has fallen some eighteen inches. The business portion of the city is yet submerged some two or thre3 'eet. No canmunication with vessels lyiug at the docks, except by boats, censepently no load ir or discharging cf cargoes can he effec•ed. A large number of vessels are lying at the lenaber district wailing for their cal gee', but they cannot be approached. as the entire district is und3r water. Canal b ate can neither enter the basin nor depart westward. In truth. all manner of bu iness carried on near the river or canal in entirely suspended, and merchants can only approach their stores by means of boats and entering in the second stories. Never •within the recollection of any one has ,uela a tre mendous freshet recurred in the mild and genial month of October. The steamers on the river, plying from this city to New York and verioui places on the river, fin 1 very difficult navigation and dangerous lending, and sev. ral to day abandoned tlieir trips. Intelligence recdved here from the west, gives fearful tidings of the storm. On Lake Ontario several vessels hive been foundered. From Os veg.° we learn that several vessels wire wrecked lit their approach to the harbour. No account tom these outside, but fearful apprehensions are entertained. At Syracuse the freshet w .s unprecedented:The southern rations of the c'ty were inundated, and families had to t scape from their dwellings in the best manner they could, some wading through the weer three feet deep. For the last thirty years such a terrible freshet has mt been witnesvd in the Onond-ga creek At Utica the Mohawk overfl )wed its banks, and covered the whole cluntry for many miles ; and indeed, all along the Mohawk flats down to the juneti .n of the Hudson, the whole valley presents a fltld of water scarcely ever seen before. The standing crops of cltn, potatoes, buckwheat, and hundreds cf tons of hay in the stack, have been swept away with the tremendous current. We have no account from the upper Hudson in t'e northern part of ihe State, but there is reason to believe, from the effects felt here, that the streams no in Saratoga, Wa-hington, Essex, & & must have swollen to a fear fal extent, and cawed immense damage to farms and lumbermen.

One thing is cer•Ain—.he Saints are determined, if threats of resistance will do it, to prevent the advarce of the troops into their valleys du jog the present winter. Whether they would go the length of ac'ull resistance, is qaite another ques ion ; still it is by no mans impossible. "We Gentiles," says the Net, York Tribune, rnigh; think such a proceeding 'he heieht of folly.'' But then it is to be recellec‘ed that the Mormons are enthusiasts, acting, as they think, under special divine gnidence. and their actions, of conr , e, are not to be mewured or anticipated according to any calculations of worldly prudence There has been so much of the extra ordinety in thei► history, and the whole system is based upon such• entire delusions, that there is no anticipatirg what they might undertake to do. Certaiely, if the government was really in ea nest in this ma-ch ',pen Utah, the busine , s has b•en most shockingly mismen ged. But we doubt much whoth, r they are or ever have been in earnest and we are etroeg'y inclined to thick that excuses will be found in the Maness of the seasrn, the want of grass and the difficulty f obtaining supplies, for wintering till next spring. In fact, and. r existing circumstances, we hardly see what else can be done. In the present tentp3r of the Mormons it would be very questionable policy to send a small and inade quate fire's into s heir count' y to be cut off by the approach of winter from el poseibility of reinforcement or aid We do not know the precis. number of the force new at Fort Laramie, but it can hardly exceed a thousand or fifteen hundred men. It must he confessed that, considering the violence by which the Mormons have formerly suffered, they have grounds of suspicion and apprehension ; while on the other hand. a due regard for our own character ( ) emends great caution in the appliea•ion of mlitaq force liable tobe c.mstrued into an attempt to put down religious fanaticism by force.
