(PROM OUR GPRCIAL CORRUPORDINT3

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.

There is no relief in our monetary affairs. The
pressure is great, and is growing worse. The rail-
roads have swallowed up the banking capital of the
country to such an extent that we cannot see any
mode of immediate relief.

In addition to the heavy drain on the Banks and
credit of the nation, a spirit of speculation has been
rife in every department of business; the capital
of tradesmen and business Corporations has been
largely drawn from every vital source of supply ;
hence every regular channel of trade; has found its
legitimate flow interrupted. This has given rise to
most of our financial troubles. The national Govern-
ment is the soundest there is on the earth. It is offer-
ing to-day 16 per rest. (on a notice of twenty-seven
days) ss a premium to all holders of public stocks of
18 per cent., if the holders will allow the govern-
ment to redeem its debt before it becomes due. This
stock has only eight or ten years to ran.
Perhaps to-day we may say the times are some-
what better ; but we must not forget that a large
portion of the active capital of the country has been
sunk for the time being in speculative enterprises,
which cannot immediately pay.
The last arrival from California, with about the
usual amount of gold, has given some relief to our
business world, and it is the opinion to-day at the
latest moment that our financial affairs have reached

the lowest depth of depression, and that after this
we arc likely to begin to rise. The United States
Banks, which dictate financial law to the Union, are
on all hands believed to be sound. It is certain that
we have had the most abundant harvest the country
has ever produced. Speculation has received a
salutary check, and the general business of the
country has not been, nor will it be, materially
disturbed by these accidental and transient causes
altien have for a short time disturbed the serenity
of the commercial world.

NEW YORK, OCT. 7.
The money stringency bu grown into a general
pressure on Banks, merchants, and capitalists; and a
feeling of apprehension has grown into a panic. The
Banks of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington
have suspended specie payments, and their example
will probably be followed through the South and
West. The worst fears are realised, and the finan-
cial affairs of the country are in a worse state than
they have been in alone 1E137. The last hope
lies in the New York City Banks. From the present
exhibit of their affairs, they are as strong, if not
stronger, than they have ever been.

They would some of them, however, have gone by
the board, had not the Secretary of the Treasury at
Washington devised every means in his power fur
their relief. Our Government Officers have not the
power to loan the public money, nor can it even be
deposited in Banks. The Government is in all senses
its own banker. But the Secretary of the Treasury
can often regulate the disbursement, of the Govern-
ment to the advantage of the public. In this pre-
sent crisis Mr. Cobb has done much. When these
troubles began, with the failure of the Ohio Life and
Trust Company, on the 24th of August, there were
twenty-two and a half million dollars in gold in the
eity of New York, of which twelve and a half mil-
lions were held by the Government in its own Sub-
Treasury. The Banks had already been drained of a
large share of their specie, and the most discouraging
prospects opened in the future. At this moment
Mr. Cobb came to their relief. Large appropria-
tions had been made by the late Congras, the exact
tune of whose payments rested at the discretion of
the Secretary. All such sums as he had discre-
tion to pay were disbursed as fast u possible.
The result was that within thirty days Mr.
('nhb had reduced his balance in New York from
121 to less than three millions. Nearly all this gold
went direct to the vaults of the city banks. But
this was not all. He has determined to reduce the
premium which he is paying on the public stocks
unless they are at once presented for redemption.
This will induce safety fund and trust fund oompa-
pies to cash these securities which they hold, and
several millions will thus, before the Ist of No-
vember, be thrown into circulation. By these rapid
movements Mr. Cobb has commanded the re-
spect and gratitude of the business world in on
eminent degree. He has always been re-
garded as one of the ablest financiers and
practical business men in public life. The
high service' he has rendered to the country in
this period of depression and ruin have saved
us from still greater calamities that would
otherwise have overtaken us. But it is impossible
yet to assign any definite limits to the present finan-
cial crisis. The means of ultimate relief, however,
exist in the abundant harvests of all kinds thathave
been reaped in every State of the Union. Bread-
stuffs are coming down to their old prices,
and it is hardly too much to say that during
the approaching winter one dollar will go a
third further in procuring the means of sub-
sistence than daring the past twelvemonth. We
are going to suffer, however, for some time to oome
in every department of business, in consequence of
the loose and reckless manner in which business of all
kinds has been for many years conducted in the
United States. The manta to be suddenly rich has
demoralised the larger proportion of our business
community. The largest field for the operation of
this passion has been in Railroads. It will be a long
time before American
held, and which never would have
Railwatreirecover the position
they once
lost but for thaw causes which have on former oc-
casions indicated.

A few weeks ago, you may have seen some ac-
count in the New York journals of an Irish meeting,
called to sympathise with " the patriot Sepoys to
India." It was a small affair. Not a man of any
standing in the city attended the meeting except
the reporters of the press. It was a contemptible
affair altogether; but its utter heartlessness and
brutality shocked every reader. Respectable Iribb-
men disclaimed any connexion with the meeting, or
sympathy with its objects.
But the Irish of New York seem to have been out-
done in Dublin, where one of its newspapers holds
the following language:—
Sweeter than the voice of love, sweeter than the warm
accents of friendship, dome than the mellowest sunshine of
tho heart, is the news of English disoonifiture in India to
the breasts of the Irish people. They are delighted, re-
joiced, and gladdened beyond measure when they hear of the
torture and humiliation of their ancient foe. nay is not a
yawl of hers which is smelted, there is not a general of hers
who le skin, there is not a battalion in her service which is
rested and overthrown, that the people of Ireland do not
*at over with the greatest satiafaction and delight. They
are consequently delighted by the intelligence received from
the Eke, where the forces of the Great Mogul &reanding
the sissies of Great Britain. Wherever England draws the
sword or light, the match Ireland prays for her defeat, and
at no time has oho prayed more fervently in that way than
she does now, when the patriot Sepoys of India are endea-
vouring to sums& the British power, sad sweep it root and
branch from the fair and fertile Saida of Him:loam
This indecent and blasphemous tirade ling been

eottensiccic copied into the American press, and uni-
versally brtsnded as a disgmee to the Irish nation.
The interest klt in events now occurring in the East
Indies is growing deeper in the United States every
day. The feeling is becoming general that England
is now engaged in a great struggle for a common
humanity and a common Christianity. She is now
pre-eminently fighting the battles of civilisation
against heathenism and barbarity, and Clod nerve
her arm for the glorious work.

We extract from the New York papers brought
by the Canada some more detailed information
respecting the state of commercial and monetary
affairs in the principal cities :

MONDAY, OCT. 6.
The California mail and treasure packet of September 6
arrived yesterday morning. Her treasure list is 1,288,734
dollars for New York. The previous packet of August 20
had only 1,219,000 dole. foe. New York, loot in the Central
Americs—heing nearly four hundred thousand dollars lam
than generally reputed. It will be 'cosi-uttered that the
snail and manifest of the unfortunate steamer were lost with
the gold, so that the RUM woe left to vague report or con-
jecture. The steamer, on the other side, left San Francium
on the 20th August with 1,600,000 dole., of which 370,000
dole. was for England and the South Pacific. The diffesemee
to the underwriters is equal to ons-fourth their apprehended
loss. Tho present snivel, if not as large so could be wished
just now, fa qualified by this unexpected piece of good luck.
It is also accompanied by satisfactory accounts from the
mina., a fair degree of business in the San Francisco markets,
splendid grain and other cape throughout the State, and the
ppooppular verdict of the people in favour of manning the public

The liquidstion is genus' and unexpectedly heavy In mob
d The figures show, in a very palpable way, the
e=rhet financial storm of Let week, and the extent to
which our links were drawn upon beams of the trouble in
other quartere ; the doubt or uncertainty which it inspired
here, and the aasistanoe which it called forth in coin to the
support of nearly all the specie-paying points. Nearly one-
half the large draft of four millions upon the line of deposits
appars to have been met in gold; meet of the remainder
going to the liquidation of debt due the banks. Little or no
ski was received from the Sub-Treasury disburaement of
2,029,000 dole. ; the Mint took 400,000 dole., and the savings-
, bank. 860,000 dole. Meet of the latter is held in their
owsivatilts, for employment in State Stocks as the oppor-

tunny *anis.
The payment. at bank were spin heavy to-day, and met
with manifest difficulty in nearly all quarters. But for the
outlet which was found for something like 200,0001. sterling,
meetly outside bills, and the arrival of the California remit-
tance, the day would have been considered the bklest of the
semen. This relief was Immediately felt on the Corn Ex-
change, on the Stock Eachange, and in the payments at
Bulk ,• and notwithstanding the disappointment created in
the afternoon on the announcement of the Beak figures, the
condition of affairs is certainly less entangled than on Friday
and Saturday. The seaman that the banks In Boston hold
on to specie payment& affords a moral support to the market
and the Bank movement which they were without lest week
up to Friday afternoon. The banks been the present week
with about 12,500,000 dole. in specie. This le • milieu and
a half more than they held this lime last season, and they
owe ten millions lees in undrawn deposits. The males of
steeling to-day were chiefly at par ; seine few standard bills
were done at 101 to 102 i per cent. There was not much
done by the discount brokers; the rates 30 to 36 per cent.
per annum.
Wssumorox, Orr. 5.
During the week ending Saturday inclusive, the Post-
master-General signed drafts for the pay of mail contractors
to the amount of at least a million of dollars, which has
already been &iota from the *Tanury to the trissety
transactions the aggregate drifts for the earns period are
about three millions, of which Dearly two and • third
millions are on New York. Large amounts of United States
stocks come in for redemption. Fifty thousand dollars' worth
were received this morning.

PRILADZI.PHIA, OCT. 5.
The meeting of the democrats in opposition to the keell-
eaten of the imapension of specie payment was largely at-
tended this evening, principally by working men. George
L. Wharton presided. Realutions were °Erred, which
substance were es fellows That the present financial em-
berramorents occurring at a period when wealth came from
ell sources overflowing end in abundance, and in con-
sequence of over-trading, imprudent investments and
extonvagancee,which, in the opinion of the meeting, have been
stimulated by the improper expansions incidental to banking
upon en immure foundation; that we are in favour of the
policy of using !metallic camacy alone; that we attribute
the present perfect soundneee of the again of the government
to specie trumactions ; that the affairs of state and city
should be similarly administered, and the treasury opened
and discounted from the banks no the treasury of the 1. sited
Steles has been detached from such emaciation ; that legalise-
the of the present suson of specie payment by the
banks would violate the fundamental principles of public end
private morality; that the legislature about to convene
should leave the banks to the operation of existing laws,
tempered by such forbearance s the good sense of their
mediocre may suggest; that Mated should maintain a
sound currency in epode in such banks as are immediately
redeemable in coin, and that no other should be sanc-
tioned • that we are opposed to bills of steelier
denominations than the present, and that we denoance and
criminate bank presidents and directors, who shut their eyee
to the interests of the city and the smite ; and that we favour
the adoption of the New York Bank system, with the excep-
tion of the issue of small notes. Much enthusiasm was
caused by the mention of the name of Jackson ; end the
sentiments that we should speed leas—that extravagance has
been the cause of the present troubles—that economy is the
only redress, were received with applawie. Voluntary rano-
isa were attempted to be offered, but were overruled.
One of these resolutions asked the bank directors to resume
ripeopr weitin°rthirtyderlaants andmoeuvte ofa pledgeh 'to ,7rtetsfutor

canned much disturbance and confusion.

In discounting largely loot week the hanks arced mentally,
and, considered as • unit, intelligently. They deserve, end
they should moire, the thanks of the community. And
they should receive mom than thanks—they should have the
earnest support dell of us. As we remarked on Saturday,
the Boston- bank circulation is good tinder any circumstances.
The bills of the Beatoribanke are protected by real property
of seven times the amount, in addition to the personal
liability of bank stockholders, " the solid men of Blalock"
and its neighbourhood. Lct all attempts to draw specie from
the banks therefore be diftcouraged. Let every one use his in-
fluence end his reason to persuade others to let the banks
alone end keep quiet. Our people in general have confideskoe in
our banks and their circulation. When the proper time comes
we can suggest improvements enough in our banking sys-
tem ; bet we are free to say that, as they are, the Boston
banks are safe and sound, as far so the public io concerned,
beyond a question. Our banks now stand firm, with greatly
diminished liabilities. From the beet private information,
we have every merlon to believe that the condition of things
in Boston is even better than it is in New York. Our peo-
ple hare got thniugh with exploded railroads ; and now that
our expanded country bank circulations have been mostly
redeemed, our public has no pardeulerly weak spot. As yet
our hake have really lost very little money, and their active
0•011111.1 are large, and they will be, in all human probability,
soon on the increase. With nerve and liberal discounts in
the banks, patience, and courage with our merchants, we
shall yet go through.

(From the Philadelphia Res', OM. 6.)
The injury that suspension has worked against us affects
our own merchants trading to New York, or buying from
Europe, because it is noterioun that they must either pay in
specie, or suffix a heavy discount to the amount of the diffe-
rentia M exchange. There is not a Philadelphia merchant,
paid in Pennsylvania currency by its customers, who is not
compelled, first to pay 3 per cent. discount before o
in exchange for it Philadelphia notes; and, in the sobialcort
place, forced to par 4 per cent. premium to obtain gold, in
order to meet hie billo on New York or Liverpool. There
being the lowest ruling rates, make a difference against the
Philadelphia merchant of 7 per cent., and this is muted by
suspension. These are facts as notorious as they am dis-
agreeable. The knowledge of these feets impelled the cele-
brated meeting of our Board of Trade to advise upon the pro-
priety relies ing our merchants from the payment of the
New York bills in specie, and is at this moment the muse of
anxious solicitude on the pert both of the banks and the mer-
chants. How far these merchants may be willing to sell
cheaper than New York ander lynch circumstance', Islam to
save themselves from protest end suspension, we cannot
perceive.
HAIMIAACTO, PA., Ocr. 6.
The legislature of Pennsylvania convened to=

Pion by existing laws be required to make a satisfactory
arrangement with the State Treasury to convert the feuds in

solvent banks into specie as soon as necessary far the pay-
ment of the funded debt, and that solvent banks which hare
paid specie for ell their liabilities immediately prior to Ma
late general suspension be required, under limitations and
restriction", to receive the notes of each other continuing
solvent, at par, in payment. The tame of relief notes of a
small denomination should not be authorieed, nor the tanks
during their suspension be permitted to declare dividends ex-
ceeding 6 per cent. per annum. The Governor believe' that
the moneyed institutions of the state are in a mound and
solvent condition, and that if the measures suggested be
' adopted all will be right.

TILE MONETARY CRISIS AT HAMBURG.

(FROM ♦ COREMAYONDENT.)
HAMBURG, 9Fr. 17.

The pressure on our money market, which had
already shown itself last week, became much more
stringent when the telegraph brought the intelli-
gence of the Bank of England having made a further
advance in their rate of discount, and even for the
most unobjectionable paper it has been quite impos-
sible to obtain cash on lower terms than 8 per cent.
per annum, while many, who to meet their engage-
ments would readily have given 10 per cent. for
good but not select bills, found that they could not
get them converted into money on any terms, and
the consequence has been that heavy sacrifices of
goods of various kinds have been freely made to
meet the exigencies of the hour. At Bremen the
tightness has, if possible, been still more severe, for
as the direct intercourse between that city and the
United States is comparatively greater than that
which is carried on between America and this city,
they have been in addition exposed to many adverse
circumstances from the monetary and commercial
disorganisation in the chief cities of the Union
which has latterly prevailed. Both here and there,
however, the evil has been increased by the
almost simultaneous announcement, from official

I

authority, that the punctual payment of the call on
the Russian railways, which falls due in December,
would be rigorously enforced; and as, from the
financial connexion of Messrs. Stieglitz with Ham-
burg., and with Germany generally, a considerable
portion of these shares is held here both by private
parties and by public companies, this intimation has
come upon them at a very inconvenient time, and
may yet lead to much mischief. It is fortunate that
in England there will be no aggravation of the
effects of the present crisis from that cause, for as
their eyes were there opened in due time to the
various evils that might arise from a ready adoption
of that scheme, it is understood that only a very
. .

small proportiOn has been allocated in that countri,
and the effects of this exaction will not therefore be

felt in any degree so intensely there, as they cannot
fail to be not only in Germany, but in Holland and
France also, where the great capitalists were not so
cautious as it is found that those who now take the
lead in such matters have proved to be in England.
Emigration to America goes on from hence on a
large scale. Yesterday live vessels cleared out with
1,201 passengers. Of these, 938 were for New York,
and 263 for New Orleans. Of the former, some were
destined ultimately for Canada ; but as the whole
chiefly consisted of families, and were, in general,
people of some property, they will be found, whether
they settle in British America or in the States, to be
a great acquisition to the country of their adoption.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, says :
" The Invalid. Raue cantatas a remarkable article upon the
events in India. Alter sessiming that England in the first
instance purchased India, and did not conquer it, the organ
of the Rumden government proceeds to consider what would
occur if England should find herself compelled really to oon-
quer that vast country. This work, it Bays, is unquestion-
ably beyond the capacity of England, but it would not be
beyond the power of Europe. If India was conquered by
Europe, it might be placed under a European protectorate,
and the propagation of civilisation there would become a
subject of international interest."
A letter from Tripoli of the Bth says :—" The
Sultan has given a new proof of his sympathy for the Chris-
tian populations of this regency by conceding gratuitously to
the sisters of charity of fit. Joseph a vast edifice for the esta-
blishment of an hospital. A few months ago the Sultan also
accorded a Orman for the erection of a new catholic church at
Benziud."

has brought a number of foreigners to this city to view the

ascended the mountain, in order to view the eruption as
closely as possible, are the Conde de Montanan and hie
brother, Don Fernando, and the Frince of Orange."

THE HEBRIDEAN Toun.—Owing to the nature of
the Hebridean coast& the tourist is enabled to traverse the
grandest and mat desolate scenery, and seas whose very
names am suggestive of storm and &tiger• with as close
view sit seated m a carrisge, and with as much comfort,
incident, and safety as if lolling in a drawing-room or on a
balcony. Soto idea of the extent and growth of thetretlic
thus driven through the most desolate and stormy regions of
the three kingdom., may he formed front the facts that last
year the number of paseengere passing through the Crimea
Canal, which forms part, though not an eseential part, of the
route, was nearly 50,000; that the number has been doubled
within about a dozen )ears; and that the tonnage, cattle,
sheep, and general goods have all increased in the same pro-
portion. Or, as an illustration of what has taken place a
long while before and on a still larger scale in many other
places, take the little town of Oleo, ono of the starting-
points or rating-plain in the Hebridean tour. Ile popula-
tion is 1,700; its inhabiud houses, 156; the annual value of
its property 4,4004 Often in the height of the sewn, 200

from the beginning of June to the end of September, is 2co,
which, making allowance for the number of beds occupied
by more than one person, represents at least 300 guests.
Hach of these is ascertained to pay on an average 10e. per
day, besides the hire of conveyances and the large propor-
tion of the eating and drinking performed on board the
Mesmer*. As the number of tourists sleeping in the place
d...t..ln.riezthe season ie at least 40,000, we have than, in four
a sum of 20,0001. of lowland money spent in this
liles;lage. The visitors are at least twentyfold the inha-
bitants, and the visitors expenditure four or fivefold the
value of the whole town.— Jidioebucch Buie ¢', new number.

BREID-STEALING EXTRAORDINARY. A gentle.
man, worthy of all credit, and who may be the more readily
trusted as his story acknowledges his own defeat, was roused
one night by a heavy bumping noise en the mein. Unable
to amount for it, he rose, donned his dressing-gown, and
with his candle in his hand, proceeded to investigate the
came. Halfway downstairs be perceived a large rat em-
ployed in facilitating the descent of a half-loaf by pushing it
iria from one step to another. Anxious to redeem hi/
property, the owner dereended after it. The rat at lint OOP.
tinned his exertions, but as the enemy gained upon him, ha
changed him tactics, and turning his front op-
weeds, began to climb towards his opponent. This
was kicked
such an intruder as might with all jostles have
been down stairs ; but so Mern was his air and so zpip•
pacing his aspect that the gentlemen hesitated, and heats-
tation ended in retreat. His feet being armed only with
*Unpin, he lost heart and began slowly to wend beebread':
whits the rat deliberately mounted after him, and thus
steadily drove him back to his bedroom, the door of which
healed in the far* of his foe, and terminated the adventure
by resider to bed, while the rat returned to hie well-earned
booty.—Sational Revive, new number.
