day night, on this ground that the state of his
health still rendered it necessary to avoid public
dinners and speeches.
It would almost seem as though the slave
trade, the horrors of which ware so vividly
described in the letters of Dr. Livingston*
transmitted through Mr. Stanley, had grown
defiant and dared to brave us in our own waters
—which the British flag is supposed to keep in
innocent* of all such taint. A despatch from
Oonstannople informs us that •an English
steam,," arrived there on Wednesday with 90
slaves on board; and .44 though in a geo-
graphical sense not quite intelligibly, that "the
trade in slaves between Tripoli and Malta, via
Constantinople, is very brisk."
The value of money has been gradually
creeping up sines August last, and, beginning at
per mat, it has now touched exactly double
that figure. Nevertheless, we learn on Satur-
day, when the Bank of England directors made
their resolution known, no surprise was felt and
no excitement was displayed. Ever since the
enormous payments by France to Germany were
arranged, it has been foreseen that England,
being a successful maker of money, and a pro-
fessed money-lender on the grandest smile,
would always part with it at a price. Fibs has
accordingly done and is still doing DO. Hence
the stock wanted by ourselves for the ordinary
purposes of circulation and exchange has become
seriously reduced. Concurrently with this
borrowing on the part of Francs, other nations,
Including our own colonies, have also drawn
heavily on us, chiefly for aid to develop those
resources which the very prosperity of England
has made so much in request. Lending faster
than we accumulate, the inevitable result is
getting temporarily straitened, and that is the
stage we have now reached.
Boston, in the United States, le the prey to a
great conflagration in the business part of the
city, the damage of which Is estimated at
5a0,000,000 dollars. The disaster is terrible, and
It is said one or two merchants, overcome by
their losses, have committed suicide.
The United States Presidential Election has
terminated, as was expected, in the re-election
of General Grant. It is difficult to discover
what there could be in Mr. Greeley that made
him the powerful opponent he was at first re-
presented to be. The returns show that the
majority for Grant is remarkably Isrg sod that
in only a few minor States Mr. Grepy had the
confidence of the people. The Grant administra-
tion will doubtless be invigorated by the expert-
MOB of the contest, and adopt some of therefore..
desired by the Greeley party.
