We regret to learn, that that fe11... scourge of humanity, the cholera, has broken out at St. yin_ cent, and that several deaths had been reported. There is but little news from any quarter of the EUropean Continent. The insurrection in rland is now completely put down Government authorities appear to have acted with considerable promptitude in subduing gents, and thereby, happily, prevented any serious extent of bloodshed. The Royalist movement having thus entirely failed, it is exceed ingly unlikely that any further conflict will take e, as the federal authorities are certain to take ns against renewed violence Of the movements of the Emperor and Ethpress of the French, we have but little advice. Our Paris lette s say, that the news of the dissolution of the Spansh Constitution Cortes created no days ago THE NORTHERN TIMES in the first instance, have to look to the general assets of the concern, and the shareholders will be liable only for such deficiency as may exist after the distribution of the assets'of the bank." Our columns,' to-day, narrate several ship dis asters, attended with loss of life, and we have also accounts of a painful nature as to a sad accident on the Great Northern Railway. From the secrecy observed by' the officials, the full particulars of the latter case have not transpired. The Manchester Mechanics' Institution Exhibi tion, which was to be opened with eclat on to-mor . row, with Lord Palmerston as the lion of the day, has been postponed, in consequence of his Lord ship being unable to be present at the inaugural meeting. We learn, however, that the Exhibition will be opened to7season ticket holders for private view on that day as originally contemplated, with out any ceremony whatever, beyond a very brief address by the President. We perceive, in somerof the papers brought by the Canada, a long and severe attack upon the captain and officers offthe:Arabia, abusing them in very strong terms for bringing the ship home when she was in such a leaky state. The fact that Capt. Stone arrived safe here, and delivered both ship and passengers uninjured, is a matter of com mendation to him and the officers under his command ; and the circumstance of only four days being required to complete the repairs required by the Arabia, demonstrate that the injuries were neither serious nor extensive. Our American friends would display more good sense if they were less inclined to carp at our steam-ships and their management. Certain, it is, no lino of vessels, steamers, or sailing ships have had—considering the extensive duties performed— fewer disasters of any kind than those belonging to Messrs. Cunard and Co. Order and regularity mark the movements of every one on board, and a never-ceasing vigilance is manifested by officers and crew to preserve the ships from dangers or mishaps. No better proof of the good management of these ships can be found than in the fact, that during all the time the line has been established as the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-ship Company, only one of their vessels has been lost. ---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. Britain is the last Power in the universe that should excite the commiseration of those who feel for the needy and weak at heart. Yet we desire to keep our own. We watch over peace as we would guard a gem of incalcu lable price. We would have life spared and property protected as things which cannot be replaced, and of too much value to the present age, and to posterity, to be thrown away in foul and terrible strife. England is often thought too selfish, because foreigners are apt to forget that we look upon ourselves as a unit of that great family of nations whose peace, happiness, and prosperity concerns one and all of its members alike. We feel concerned about the maintenance of peace only because the world at large must have repose. Other people need only to reflect on the horrible traditions of war—we have to bear the weight of 880,000,0001. of bloodshed, and this is the weight we thrto4v into our counsel. And the country will certainly expect to hear that that counsel has been tendered and honestly employed in endeavouring to avert the calamities which must follow the Coup d'etat policy which is rapidly extending itself so widely over the Continent.

The Emperor of Austria having returned to Vienna, has set out for Cor inthia with the Empress.

We have Marseilles advices of the 7th instant, and Constantinople dates of the 28th ultimo, which state that Admiral Stewart had returned to the latter city, Kupres le Pacha had arrived at Odessa, and Soukom Kale and Ptol Kale had been delivered over to the Russians. It was said, at Constanti nople, that the ministry would undergo some modifications. A despatch from Moscow announces that the coronation of the Emperor was attended by beautiful weather.

Beneditti an equally handsome token of remembrance. These testimonials are much prized by the recipients, and the kind consideration of her Majesty which prompted their presen tation, tends to enhance her still more in the estimation and esteem of the people of France. Of the Coronation of the Emperor of Russia we have as yet but little additional intelligence. Late advices from St. Petersburg say that an Imperial Ukase had been published, raising the state of siege which had been established in Taurida and Bessarabia. A proposition of the Council of the Empire, giving new facilities for the importation of foreign goods, has been approved of by the Czar . In virtue of it, goods can remain in entrepot for fifty days after their arrival, on payment of moderate duties. Our accounts from Prussia speak of the intention of government to have a large increase of the navy, and that great activity is displayed in the different ministries in preparing bills to be presented to the Chambers next session. The consistory of the province of Prussia had sent to the clergy of the province a circular, according to the terms of which the prohibition of the carriage of a noble with a female of the class of or petite Sourgeoisie still exists, not lg Act 4 of the Constitution. In the idrid journals there is hardly an item of vithstan Le least political importance. Public attention as called to the approaching election of members extenso The domestic incidents of the day are somewhat numerous, and in some respwts painful. The failure of the Royal British Bank continues to attract much attention, and fears are entertained that the disaster will entail upon many of its share holders pecuniary loss of a serious nature. As the affairs of the concern become known there is fresh cause for complaint, as to the management of the bank. It is now suspected that the Sadleir frauds have had something to do with the concern• Nothing could be more culpable than the conduct of the directors at the late annual meeting Duplicity stamped, their proceedings on that occasion, as they represented the affairs of the company, not only in a satisfactory, but in a highly prosperous condition, while, at the same time, it was then actually insolvent. The suspension of this bank teaches a most important lesson to the people of this country, and suggests the pressing necessity of an immediate and searching enquiry into our monetary and banking system. Meetings of the shareholders are being held, and hopea are yet entertained that the affair will be " wound up " in a manner not to press too hard upon the victimised shareholders, as w6ll as the unfor tunate depositors. Indeed, we should not feel sur prised if the fact of the stoppage of the Royal British Bank be attended with other con sequences of an evil character. Public confidence is much shaken in private and Joint Stock Banks —the doings of Paul, Strahan and Bates—and the gigantic frauds of Sadleir and Co., followed by the present smash, may cause a "Monetary crisis,' , which although most undesirable, is by no means improbable. Alluding to this matter, yesterday's Observer states, " that the committee formed of depositors of the late Royal British Bank, under the presidency of Mr. James Wyld, appear disposed to act with energy and promptitude in relation to the steps to be taken for the protection of the interests of the general body of creditors of the bank. The policy of avoiding recourse to legal proceedings is no loubt a good one, but, like many other well-inten• oned plans, it may be found to be an impracticable lay be perfectly true that some of the ho aro liable not merely for the yet called up, but for ciency which may exist beyond that, have ihareholders w balance of their shares, not s at once either to pay up which they are liable, or to give d their readin the amount fo for payment by instalment. But their resolution does not and cannot bind the whole body of shareholders, among whom may be found some who are able, but unwilling to ecurit ^2ntribute their quota, and others who h ave th e will, but not the power of so doing The powers vesiid !D. the courts of law under the up Act will, we fear, ultimately have to ked for the purposeof securing fair con a from all those who, unfortunately, are be called upon to make good the losses tribUtio liabl9 to sustained ti the directors Improper management of dertaking The offer of some of the shareholders to pay up by instalments the remaining balance due on their shares appears to be somewhat premature, as the depositors will, ME violence of the Prussian Royalists in Switzerland may be received as the second act in the drama of Continental reaction. Following so closely on the sanguinary movements in Spain, and possessing all the characteristics of a coup d'etat, its objections and origin cannot be mis taken. Neufchatel, the scene of Prussian violence, is not of sufficient importance either in population or extent of territory to cause Switzerland or Prussia much uneasiness, still the Swiss claim it as an integral part of their confederacy, which they re•took from Prussia in 1848, and which they have ever since retained. Neither the Royalists nor Republicans need care much for a small spot of earth containing only 70,000 people, of whom nearly one-half are foreigners. It is the manner in which the attempt has been made to regain possession of the Canton, and the character of the belligerents which render the movement so threatening to the peace of Europe. Should Prussia lend her aid to the rebellions party, and the Swiss take up arms in support of their rights, we shall have a Royalist and Repub lican war raging in the heart of the Continent, at a moment when such a crisis ought to be most studiously avoided. The whole world needs repose. Asia and Africa have been reduced to the lowest depths of barbarism by tyranny and the sword, and millions of their wretched people must perish if they be not rescued from interminable wars. Europe and America have taken the great burden of human civilisation on their shoulders, and must fall and be crushed beneath its weight if they be not allowed to carry forward their great work in peace. Politicians may not see that from the rude labour of the most benighted nations comes all that gives life, wealth, and greatness' to the world ; and that bloodshed, when viewed politically, is as dangerous, no matter how near or far from home, to the maintenance of civilised life, as it is abominable in the sight of God. That the political mind of Europe has not imbibed a due appreciation of the blessings of peace, is demonstrated by the fact, that while we place no limit to our lists of field marshals, we are content with one or two heads to watch over the moral and religious training of millions of human beings ; and while we vote away thirty and forty millions annually, for the support of armies and fleets, we will not bestow one tithe of these sums to educate and enlighten the great masses of our fellowmen. While such a perversion of reason pre dominates, we must expect little else than war, and all its miseries. We can hope for nothing but anarchy, while every man labours to go through life in peace, and is thwarted, crippled, and over thrown by the burdens which some ruling folly or vice has left after it. The armed resistance offered to authority in a petty Canton of Switzerland, May not be thought of sufficient importance to call for these remarks. But we believe that we can scarcely give too much weight to any event which is likely, in the present temper of the Continent, to lead even to a discussion, in which great prin ciples are involved, and conflicting opinions must exist. The Swiss will not suffer their sovereignty to be interfered with by any foreign Power with impunity, and if they be compelled to resort to arms in defence of their rights, the struggle which must ensue will be no trifling matter. Switzerland cannot be erased from the map of Europe as the republic of Cracow was only a few years since. She may not have many friends abroad owing to the detestation in which her mercenary legions are held in other countries ; but she has in the mountains within her borders all that is necessary to enable a weak State to carry on an interminable war with a power of ten times her numerical strength. Nor do we think that the recent attack, sudden as it has been, will find her wholly unprepared for defence. The fact of there being upwards of 30,000 foreigners in Neufchatel when the insurrection took place looks strange, and if the Royalists were not all Prussian, the whole affair will have a still more singular aspect. It will look more like a great reactionary con spiracy than a mere outburst of popular discontent on the part of the inhabitants of the Canton. Had the rising been preceded by diploma tic negotiations between Switzerland and Prussia, with regard to the disputed territory, and had they failed, the affair would have appeared much more a natural sequence than an unprovoked coup d'etat, and the world would have had less reason to believe that there is a reactionary spirit abroad which bodes much evil, and which must be loudly denounced by Great Britain, We care not in what direction the peace of Europe is broken, it must prove most inimical to the commonweal. It is puerile nonsense to sup pose that we dread the occurrence of tumult on our own account only. Every European nation must feel its smarting more or less, and we do so only, because others suffer still more. In adversity we hold, happily, a very inferior position. Great Tun appearance of the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Mr. ROEBUCK at the Master Cutlers' feast at Shef. field was most unexpected, and would, no doubt, have produced some consternation in Ministerial circles had the hereditary peer, and the independent commoner came forward with the programme of a future campaign, instead of recommencing the recital of past defeats and frightful sacrifices. The noble Duke has nothing to complain of, however, beyond the abortiveness of his disinterested efforts to save a 'noble army from annihilation. His Grace tells us how hard he worked, and his bitterest enemies cannot deny that he did " work like a dray "atorse." But as the ex-minister had a fair trial given to him, and did not get through the work, the least said about the campaign in which he played so conspicuous a part the better. Mr. ROEBUCK was less ministerial and more triumphant. He did get a committee of enquiry appointed, and his services did contribute mainly to rescue the remnant of the old army, and the body of the new host sent out to the Crimea. For this alone, Mr. ROEBUCK is entitled to the highest national mark of distinction which could be bestowed upon him. But while Mr. ROEBUCK has claims upon the country for past manliness and honest indepen dence, he does not appear to have any definite policy to lay before the public for their future guidance. He seems to think that the best place he can occupy is the cross-benches of the House of Commons. He therefore leaves others to lead, while he reserves to himself the right to help or retard the movements of the Charioteers of pro• gress. A Ministry has but little to fear from the visit of such an opponent, during the recess, to his provincial Constituents. Mr. ROEBUCK and those who act with him, are like Mr. DISRAELI and his Conservative friends. They neither of them dare venture on propound ing a definite policy, while they recoile from the thought of giving a blind or consistent ad hesion to the course laid down by their political rivals. But the public will begin to see that when a popular representative cannot give his hearty support to those in power, he ought to protest against that which he, by his opposition, admits to be wrong, and prejudicial to the best interests of the country. Mr. ROEBUCK may not desire to be a leader of a strong Constitutional and national party. He may be leaving that high position to be filled by some man of greater weight; but this, we think, is a very mistaken course for the honourable member to pursue. He must see very clearly that reform and retrenchment must speedily force themselves on Parliament. He has, no doubt, observed that petty despotism, under various masks, is making rapid strides in England—he has seen the principles of local self•government trampled under foot—he finds the country with its • taxation increased beyond all possible endurance, and representation reduced to a perfect nullity—he can see how many men will be entitled to vote at the next general election out of a population of 27,000,000—he has heard the abolition of trial by jury in civil actions mooted by the London Press —and, lastly, he must have observed that there is not one man in either Houses of Parliament who ever dreams of speaking in defence of the Consti tutional rights of the subject. Routine has a perfect monopoly of place, and the most paltry expediency is suffered to rule the Empire. The man who is aware of all these things, and still he has nothing to say about them and remains silent, may be exceedingly honest and independent, but his provincial visits will not ruffle the feathers of his opponents in office, nor cause his most ardent admirers to believe that integrity and Statesmanship go together. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. There is still a pretty active demand for Cotton. Prices are well sustained, although there is a good , supply. To-day, 8,0)0 bales changed hands, of which 3,000 were taken for export and speculation. The steam-ship 'Canada arrived here this after noon, with New York, advises of the 26th ult. The Cotton market at that city was very steady, and sales to a fair extent were going forward. The crop prospects were good, and it was considered that the late storms in the South would not do any damage of a serious Or extensive character. The latest telegraphic despatches from New Orleans represent the trade in that city as being firmer. Full details of the commercial intelligence will be found in another column. The" Money Market remains in much the same position as last reported, There is a pretty active demand, but no change in the rate of discount, although it was expected otherwise, in consequence of the large export of specie. The imports of specie this week amount to 1,210,9781, and were— by the Asia, from New York, 520,905 dols., or 104,2001.; the La Plata, from the West Indies and Mexico, 3,122,133 dols., or 625,0001., of which 2,655,874 dols were in silver, and the rest in gold ; the Ravensbourne, from Antwerp, 62 cases 26 packages of bullion ; the Eglinton, from Constan tinople, 11 packages of spcmi,-; the Alhambra (s.), from the Nieditermueap, 5,99 N.; the Kent, from MAbouvne, 82,000 oz of gold, or 328,0001. ; the Retriever, from Africa, 2,000 ozs. of gold, or 8,300/. ; the Walter Hood, from Sydney, 4 2001. and 4,731 ozs. gold, or 23,1001.; the Baron Osy, from Antwerp, 2 cases of specie ; the Arago, from New York, 363,000 doll., or 72,6001. The exports of specie were—by the Oronoeo, for the West Indies, 14,9001 ; the Indus, for India and China, with 835,3021., of which 26,732/. was in gold, and the rest silver, divided as follows :—Gold to Alexandria, 19,9001. ; Madras, 167/. ; Singapore, 9701.; Hong Kong, 5.6951. Silver to Bombay, 115,706/. ; Madras, 5,000/. ; Calcutta, 161,299 ; Penang; 7,806/. ; Singa pore, 36,0251.; Hong Kong, 202,7011; Canton, 30,6621, and Shanghae, 249,371/., making a total of 850,000/. THE COURT SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday, Sept. 6.—The Prince of Wales landed in the docks from her Majesty's yacht Fairy, and proceeded to Richmond to visit the Ductless of Gloucester. The prince again embarked in the royal yacht for Osborne at twenty minutes past five. The prince was received on landing and embarking by Mr. John Levi, on the part of the dock company. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Wednesday, the 3rd inst., the nuptials between Major Dawson greene, eldest son of Mr. Thomas Greene, M.P., of Whittington Hall and Slyne, Lancashire, and Miss Mary Russell) second daughter of the late Sir Henry Russell, Baronet, of Swallowfield Park, Berkshire, was celebrated in Swallowfield church, by the Rev. Thomas Greene, M.A., brother of the bridegroom. The bride was attired in a high, rich white lace dress, with two flounces of deep Brussels lace, magnificent Brussels veil, and wreath of orange flowers, The bridesmaids were Miss Priscilla Russell, ;Miss Holroyd, Miss Elizabeth Wood, Lady Charlotte Cole, Lady Florence Cole, Miss Goodlake, Miss Hunter, and Miss Blanche Lovell. After the ceremony a splendid dejeuner took place, which was attended by a large circle of friends and relatives, DEATH or LADY RENDLESHAM.—Sophia Lady Rendle sham died, after a long illness, on the 31st ult., at the house of her son-in-law, Mr. William Rose, in Grafton Street. Lady Rendlesham was widow of Lord John Rendlesham, by whom she leaves two daughters—Lady Walsingham and the lion. Mrs. Rose. DEATH OF SIR HENRY F. CAMPBELL.—GeneraI Sir' Henry F. Campbell, K.C.8., G.C.H., expired on Tuesday, the 2nd inst., at his residence in Lowndes Square, after a long and painful illness. Sir Henry served during the Peninsular war, when he highly dis tinguished himself. He was twice married, and numerous families are placed in mourning in conse quence of his death. He was in his 87th year. DEATH Or SIR R. WESTMACOTT, R.A.—We record with regret the death of Sir Richard Westmacott, R.A. The deceased artist was well known as a sculptor, a much admired figure of Psyche, the Achilles in Hyde Park, and monuments to Fox, Sir Ralph Abercromby, Lord Collingwood, and others in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, being among his works. He had been a member of the Royal Academy 40 years, and was knighted in 1837. He died on the Ist inst ,in South Audley Street, aged 82, Mr. W. Avens's circular, issued this afternoon, contains the following remarks : The Money Market remains in a state of activity. The demand has been regular, and occasionally heavy; but no inconvenience has been felt in the Discount Mar ket. On the Stock Exchange a considerable demand has existed every day, and rates average 5 per cent., caused partly by the approach of the Consol settlement, and by preparations to liquidate the final loan instalment of 4'1,000,000. The suspension of the Royal British Bank, Which tookplace on Wednesday, has had little effect upon the Money Market, beyond causing an appreciable in crease of caution in making advances on certain classes of paper. Consols have been drooping all the week. Nothing has occurred to support the market, and there is, appa rently, a general indisposition to effect transactions for the present. The approach of the settlement, too, has restricted operations. From these causes, quotations are + per cent. lower than last Saturday. The next account is fixed for the Bth October; but the engagements for it are, at . present, upon a very moderate scale. Continua tions yesterday, were from #to per cent. Railways are also lower, with little or no business in them. Caledonians have partly recovered the extreme depression of last week. Some of the Scotch lines, such as North British, have been in favour at an advance in consequence of the divi dends officially declared; but the market generally has been weak, more from the want of support, owing to temporary causes, than to any abatement in the public confidence as to the value and prospects of railway pro perty. In Joint Stock Banks the principal event of the week;is the suspension of the Royal British Bank. Mis management has been the cause of this catastrophe. The depositors and shareholders are principally middle class tradesmen and shopkeepers, to whom the event will be extremely inconvenient; but in higher quarters it has produced no effect beyond suggesting reflections of more or less severity. Ottoman shares are still heavy at to dis. The London and Paris Bank shareholders are to bold a meeting on Tuesday, to consider the position and prospects of that undertaking, concerning which there is a good deal of dissatisfaction at the present moment ; and the directors have themselves convened a meeting for the 19th inst. It is confidently believed that the concern will have to be wound up. To.day the transactions in the English Stock Market have been limited, and the unfavourable Bank return slightly affected quotations. While arrangeinents are in progress for the settlement of the account the market is generally very sensitive, but in the present instance the quota tions are well maintained. Consols were rather flatter throughout the day, being 944 to 95 for money, and 94-Z- 95 at the close. For the 10th inst. they were 948 to 95, and " after hours " 944 The October price was 958 land 951 a. Exchequer Bills remained at 12s to 16s. The transfer books for the Reduced Annuities are shut, but they were quoted 95 with dividend for money. The New l'hrees were 95a Consols Scrip - was marked 3. The settlement of the English Stock Market is fixed for the 10th of September. The London Share Market to-day has not been active, and prices have undergone but little altera tion. Caledonian receded 1„ South Western -I, Midland -, 1 „, 2, and South Eastern also ea, but the others ruled firm, and Great Western were at a slight improvement. In the Foreign Market the only feature worth noticing was the decline of the Northern of France to 40, owing to the alleged loss sustained by the company through the disappear ance of the cashier with 40,0001. Riga and Duna burg Company's shares were 1 -1 1 ., prem. Colonial Shares were dull at previous rates. Euphrates Valley were -4 a prem., and Lombardo-Venetian 51 6e prem. Trade, generally in the manufacturing districts, is in a healthy condition, and a comparative degree of activity prevails in the different branches of trade, with the exception of that of Nottingham silk, the price of which has risen to an enormous extent, and has placed manufacturers in a very awkward position. At Manchester purchasers have come into the market more freely, and a decidedly better feeling is manifest in both goods and yarns. For yarns an advance of id. per lb. is required, notwithstanding which a steady demand has been maintained all week. Buyers, who might have been disposed to hold back in consequence of the higher rates claimed, find, that in the absence of stocks, and with a rising cotton market, they are not likely to improve their position by delay, and therefore the hardening tendency later on in the week has rather stimulated them to prompt action than induced any holding back of orders. At the Leeds Cloth Hall prices are steady; and from the recent brisk demand, the stocks are low in the manufacturers' hands, and the mills in consequence continue to be well employed. The business at Bradford is of a steady character, and an improve ment is taking place at Leicester, more orders are to hand; and manufacturers are looking for a •good autumn trade. The corn trade. is Still in a state of comparative inactivity ' • some of the houses have a month's orders on hand, others are just going on, nothing more ; and, as we have said, there has been a partial stagnation by the discovery which was in a moment to be the means of saving a couple of pounds a ton in the production of finished iron. The Welsh houses have some orders in rails; in Staffordshire, that branch of the trade has been dull for some time past; the demand here just now is chiefly for bars and rods, with a few orders for plates for the home market. There have been orders in lately for bars for South America; in other respects the trade remains, as last reported, except that pig iron is rather more difficult to sell, and prices are a trifle lower. The make too is becoming larger than it was a few weeks ago. We observe that the London Times has fallen into a very curious error in rela tionigs reverseir the is dieth the to this. matter ; it states that during the recent hot weather the stocksoip trict greatly accumulated." The fact ; the hot weather prevented such accumulation as might otherwise have occurred; and even, now there are no large stocks on the banks. The pre liminary. meeting of the trade now stands fixed for ...the last Thursday in the month, at Dudley. Accounts from the wool market at Breslau, of the 29th August, a t t s e the Animation exhibited at the beginningo f that time, during which about 3,000 quintals were sold in the market; and this might have been greater had there been a sufficient quantity of certain kinds of wool to meet the wants of the manufacturers. The principal buyers were manu facturers and merchants from Saxony and the Rhine, and agents from other places. !Ile prices realised were as follows :—Silesian, 95 ritti. to 112 ditto per quintal; yearline ditto, 98 to 100 rix thalers ; Sterbling, 83 to 103 ditto ; long staple in grease 75 to 80, and Hungarian 55 to 57 ditto per quintal. The prices generally were much the same as at previous sales, and holders of stock had no difficulty in selling. Up to the close of the month there had been no wool of the present clip received from Russia, but a supply was expected shortly. The accounts from the Thins wool market likewise report some degree of activity as has been experienced during the previous few weeks, an d prices continued firm. This firmness appears t° be general throughout the continental markets. . By the arrival of the steam-ship Canada, th i l afternoon, we are informed that the Money Mar'f i at New York was fairly supplied for loans on c a !,', and also for sheet discounts, and the turn Wa g ts l i favour of the borrower where there was no do u , v , about the security. This was owing to the eet lu Bence inspired by the increased demand for produce to export, and the prospect of large payments front the Sub-Treasury.

Holders of the war debt ?: the State of California are required to present their bonds at the Commissioner's office in Washingt eT) : on or before the let Sept., when the interest on the bonds will cease. The Cotton Market was v ery steady, and had an improving tendency, but tber was not much doing in Breadstuffs or Provision% The excitement caused by the failure of t il .

A meeting of sever al of the shareholders met yesterday at the bank, in order ;0 consider the best means of arranging a settlem eol o but of course such an interview could have Il d , binding effect on the directors, who have conven e , t a meeting for the 20th instant.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, AUGUST 26,. # Iss ; ts The whole country is now agitated, from rAis en" , the other, by the excitement of the approaching Pr esi o6 dential election.
