AMERICA.

NEW YORK, JULY IB.•—The panic continues in
the Stock market. It was thought that we had
touched the lowest depth, hilt there is still a "lower
deep." An ovee-issue of about 8,000 shares of
Vermont Central Railroad stock has been discovered
at Boston, and Mr. Crane, the president, has re-
signed. It is presumed that the temptation in his
case, as in those of Schuyler and Kyrie, was stock-
gambling. The downs and tendency of all railroad
stocks is rapid, and the alarm is deepened by a re-
mark in Saturday's Mirror, which says :—" It is
whispered in Wall-street this morning- that there
is about to be another grand failure that will put
even Schuyler in the shade. We dare not hint the
name of the party." The meaning of this paragraph
is unknown, but you will readily imagine that it
is eminently calculated to weaken confidence. Per-
haps the writer may allude to a rumoured hotel
failure on an immense scale, but that has been since
contradicted. But really the ruling passion of
New York grandeur, of social luxury, dazzling
show, and living (often at the expense of creditors)
in the Fifth 'Avenue at the rate of 25,000 dols. a •
year,.is yet destined to hurl, many a splendid ad-
venturer into hopeless ruin. Although the money
market is easier on undeniable securities, yet capi-
talists are reluctant to lend on railroad stocks, be the
terms what they may, for these over-issues have en-

tirely shaken the confidence iu the validity even of un-
doubted shares. The Erie Railroad Company, after
an investigation, have officially reported all their
issues to be correct. There is quite a dispute upon
'Change as to whether the New York and New-
haven Company ought or ought not to assume the
payment of the over-issues. They are, no doubt,
in common sense and common law, liable for the
over-issues' as they appointed the delinquent pre-
sident and transfer-clerk, thereby rendering all his
acts official, right or wrong. But should the point
be contested, the stock market will be more agi-
tated than ever, for who would buy stocks if they
are not guarded from the evils of a spurious issue
—made, too, by the officers of a company ? We
may judge of the effect of all these things by the
subjoined , quotations of railroad stocks between
the two last Fridays :
