It was account-dayin the foreign funds, and the
settlement of the differences of the past fortnight has
occupied the chief attention of the dealers. Most of
the bonds dealt in, on which dividends are suspended,
will be found, however, to be lower in value than was
the case at this time last week. Mexican, 181 to 19 ;

We are sorry to learn that the mining districts are
likely to be greatly injured by the stoppages of the
last few days, especially those of Messrs. A. A. Gower,
nephews, and Co., and Messrs. Sanderson and Co.,
the firms in question hating for years past rendered
most important support to the mineral and metallurgic
industry of the country.
Some other failures have been spoken of, but, if any
have occurred to-day, they were not of a character to
require particular notice. Liberties are, however, as
is but too commonly the case in times of trouble, still
taken with great names, not excepting those of the
first banking and commercial establishments in the
metropolis.
A gentleman connected with the New York louse
of Prime, Ward, and Co., has, we find, come over to
England by the Cambria steamer. His presence here
cannot but be calculated to restore confidence in the
sufficiency of that well-known firm. They may be
heavy losers by the failures here, but there seems to
be a pretty general belief that they will be able at
least to liquidate all claims upon them. A wide dis-
tinction is to be drawn between this house and one
that has absolutely failed, as the most wealthy estab-
lishment in existence is of course liable, under parti-
cular circumstances, to have its drafts returned upon
it. No one can, for example, guard against such
failures as we have recently had in the City of
London.

An action is, we learn, about to be brought by one
mercantile house against auother for proceedings tend-
ing to bring it into discredit.
