NEW YORK MONEY MARKET-JULY 8.

A most acceptable rain has set in, and although it has
fallen very gently, it will be of immense benefit to the
parched earth and wilted vegetation. The storm is, how-
ever, sufficiently severe to prevent the packets from sailing,
and to suspend all out-door business. The Exchange was
but thinly attended.
The St. Louis Republican of the 27th ult. refers to
some transactions in the state Bank of Missouri as
follows :—" The Bank shipped a large amount of gold,
$lOO,OOO or upwards, to New York. It was put
up in bags and packed in a keg, which was sealed
in the usual manner. The keg was shipped, in
charge of a respectable gentleman of this city, to New
Orleans, there shipped on board a vessel, and when
arrived at the Bank of New York (and it is said to have
arrived in good order and with the seals unbroken) was
deficient four bags, or about $23,000. This is the sub-
stance of the report. We have never heard that auspi-
cion has fallen upon any particular individual; in fact, the
whole remains a profound mystery, nor do we believe it
ever will be solved." "An agent of the Bank who was
sent to Europe to sell the State Bonds presented an ac-
count amounting to the modest sum of sixteen thousand
dollars. The agent, we understood, modestly offered to
make the payments easy to the Bank by taking it in instal-
, ments.

The Pa' is Journals of Sunday have all been received.
In the official columns of the Meniteur we find the fol-
lowing intelligence from Spain :
" Some new tumults took place at Barcelona on the
evening of the 21st and the morning of the 22d inst. At
two o'clock in the afternoon of the latter day order was
re-established. On the morning of the 23d all was tranquil.
" The French Ambassador arrived on the 22d.
" A telegraphic despatch from Madrid announces that
on the 21st inst. the Ministry communicated to the Cortes
that the assent of the Queen had been given to the Muni.
pality Bill. Madrid was tranquil."
The latest detailed intelligence from Barcelona and
Madrid will be found in another column. The RE-
GENT had made a curious compromise with EseAa-
TEEO. Her MAJESTY preferred giving up the Ministry
to refusing her assent to the Corporations' Bill. Well,
were ESPARTERO to seek to revenge himself, he has
only to dissolve the Cortes, and an appeal to the people
would be responded to by the return of Chambers who
would make no difficulty about the instant repeal of the
REGENT'S darling measure. He would thus manifest
the short-sightedness of the QUEEN'S late advisers, and
do a real service to his country, independently of the
triumph which he would achieve over all his enemies
and those of the Constitution.

The Eastern Question begins to excite a great sen-
sation in the political circles of Paris. The report of
a Treaty being concluded by four of the Five Great
Powers, from which France is excluded, has put the
French public in extremely ill humour with England.
Tile following semi-official announcement of the possi-
ble existence of such a Treaty is from the columns of
the Constitutionnel:—

" Rumours were circulated yesterday respecting the re-
solutions which had been announced for some length of
time against the Pacha of Egypt, having been agreed to in
London. The Representatives of the Four Powers, Eng-
land, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, have signed, in con-
junction with the Porte, a Convention, which is nearly to
the following purport :—The Sultan is to offer to the
Pacha of Egypt, Egypt as an inheritance, and the Pacha-
lick of St. Jean d'Acre as a life interest. If, in ten days,
the Pacha does not give his consent, the Sultan will not
offer more than Egypt alone. If he still refuses, the
Four Powers bind themselves to compel Mehemet Ali to
submit.

" The coercive measures to be resorted to are not men-
tioned. A blockade of the coast of Syria is spoken of,
and, if Mehemet Ali threatened the capital of the empire,
of a similar process as that stipulated in the Brunow pro-
position. This Convention, it is said, has been sent to
Vienna, Berlin, and SL Petersburgh to be ratified."

The Courrier Francais is still more explicit and
more menacing. As this question is at the present
moment of the utmost importance we cannot omit
quoting the strong language employed by that Journal
in discussing the probable results of a line of policy
assumed to be dissented from only by France. We
reserve for another article our own observations upon
this subject. How the French Government and the
French Press could have so mistaken the real merits of
the Oriental question is to us quite inexplicable :
The news concerning the affairs of the East has excited
a great sensation on 'Change. At the same moment we
learnt that the Divan, at the instigation of Lord Ponsonby,
had rejected the Viceroy's proposition, and that the four
Powers had succeeded in coming to an understanding as
to the best means for settling the differences at present
existing between the Porte and its vassal, and this to the
exclusion of France. Moreover, several English vessels,
which have recently left Vourla for the coast of Syria, state
that there was a probability of war. The. Five per Cents.
have already fallen 20::. in consequence of this news.
It is a matter of immense importance if England, in
concert with Austria and Prussia, have actually given her
sanction to the propositions of M. de Brunow. War, a
European war, with all its dreadful consequences, must
inevitably succeed the peace which has lasted for the last
twenty-five years. The Government must satisfy the
public anxiety on this subject as soon as possible. If Eng-
land have really deceived us—if Lord Palmerston have
been cajoling France by pretended commercial negotiations,
in order to gain time to form a coalition with the oppressor
of Poland for the purpose of dismembering and dividing
Turkey—the public ought to be made acquainted with it.
Europe ought to know in what quarter perfidy is lurking,
and in what quarter good faith reposes.
But we shall scarce be justified in supposing that the re-
cent conferences at London between Lord Palmerston and
M. de Brunow have so far succeeded as to give no serious
cause for alarm.

Letters from Constantinople distinctly prove that the
ambitious designs of Russia are gradually gaining ground
in the Divan, notwithstanding the retirement of Chosrew
Paella. Mehemet Ali's moderate proposals, which the
Porte seemed disposed to sanction, have just been rudely
rejected, The skilfully-projected insurrection in Syria, if
it has not been worked up by Lord Ponsonby, has at all
events raised the hopes of the Divan. But the Porte has
neither finances, fleet, nor army.
We have more than ever cause to regret the blindness
and obstinacy of the Porte. Had she acted on her own
inspiration she would have accepted the honourable peace
which Mehemet Ali offered her, for the present armed
truce does nothing but exhaust her. To shut her eyes to
the dangers which must inevitably result to an empire
falling in ruins, from the prolongation of the present order
of things, she must have been given to understand that she
might rely on the assistance of the Powers. If England
have not already signed M. de Brunnow's propositions, she
has promised to sign them ; and it is on the faith of this
engagement that the Porte is about to act. Nothing is
now wanting save the ratification of France, a trivial dif-
ficulty, which has not in the slightest degree disconcerted
the negotiators, but which will, if the Ministry be so
resolved, completely paralyze the plots of this new coalition.
The subjoined extracts include what other news we
find in the Paris Journals of Sunday :
It was affirmed yesterday evening at the Opera, says the
Temps, that in consequence of the increased difficulties of
the affairs of the East, Admiral Rosamel is recalled, and
will quit the command of the reserve squadron. His suc-
cessor is not yet appointed.
The Journal du Havre, of the 25th, announces that the
Marquis de Lavalette, Charge d'Affaires to the Persian
Government, had arrived that morning from St. Peters-
burgh, on board the Tage.
The Vigie de Dieppe affirms that the arrival of the
King at the town of Eu is officially announced for the Ist
of August. The Velose steamer has already been sent
from Brest to Treport, and two select companies of the
25th Regiment of the line are ordered faom Rouen to Eu.

The Courrier de Bordeaux of the 23d of July contains
the followirg article
" ThJ crops of corn on the whole basin of the Gurerrne
hold cut the promise of an abundant harvest, which cheers
the farmers of that country, and gives rbason to hope a
winter favourable to the poor. After the extreme drought
of the year, it may well be supposed that the farmers must
be agreeably surprised at reaping a harvest which, with
few exrei,tions, may be ccmpared to those of the best
common years. Other descriptions of agricultural pro-
duce seem unhappily to be less promising, even should the
ruin continue to fall as it did yesterday. In fact, the hemp,
though so stinted in its growth, is already in blossom ;
cobacco the same, and we cannot depend on the Maize;
'he potato crop will, however, escape, and be as abundant
is that of corn."—Le Commerce.
