11E4-ALM—We have already stated that the new-,
brought by the North America is three days later tha.:
the last intelligence from the United States which ha,
reached this country. We are unable to give an opinion
as to the degree of probability which may attach to, the
article from Lockport relative, to the reportkl, violent
rescue of Mr. 35PLeod by an armed body of Canadians. This is not the time to enter upon a question Which is
raised simply on the affirmative or negative of that fact. - x
But whilst we feel that the series of aggressions and out-
rages which has been visited on the personal liberty and . .
the personal safety of M'Leod would amply justify him :o
escaping, by any means that might offer, from an iie-
prisonment commenced in an act of lawless violence (...=

whether at this particular juncture we should be pre.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
POST.—The principal dealings in the Share marloct
were in Brighton Railway. A meeting of the proprie-
tors of this Company was held in the course of the day,
and until this was over, a feeling of uneasiness prevailed,
lest, perhaps, some discouraging disclosures shoal be
made concerning the traffic of the line in its more ad-
vanced and expensive state.
The accounts lately received from Mexico give a very
deplorable idea of the condition of that country. The
enormous rate of duty laid on all foreign productions,
under one 'form of authority and another, operateki
as a complete prohibition to legitimate importations.
The result of this had been, that several vessels coming
in with cargoes were ordered away again ; and if the
.same fatal system should be persisted in, the resident
foreign merchants would be compelled. to quit the Re-
public. Some measures were to be broqght before the
Legislature in relation to the foreign debt ; but as they
would first come under the consideration of the De-
puties, and these persons are paid for their services out
of the public treasury, it is not expected that anything
will be done for the relief of the bondholders. The
same circumstance will in all probability interfere with
the remittances promised to be made to England on ac-
count of the dividends, as required by the provjsions.of
the late conversion.

AD VE RTISER.—The advices received to-day througl,
indirect channels from Germany and Italy, notice, we
regret .to find, the occurrence of more failures. AL
Vienna, Messrs. Deutsch and Co. had suspended, and at
Gractz a large house in the iron trade, viz. that of Mi.-
chey. At Trieste the Hebrew firm of Raphael Salem
had stopped for 280,000 florins, and as it carried on a
large business with the Levant, it was . feared it-might
lead to embarrassments at Alexandria, Aleppo, Jaffa,
Smyrna, or Beyrout. Two Greek houses, involved in
losses by Guy Muller's failure, had also suspended, viz.,
Messrs. Clinuy and Cappair, and A. S. Minz. The firm
of J. Hagenaner, at Trieste, loses about 50,000 florins
by the Mullers, but its credit has remained unshaken
by it.
TIME4.—The failure of Messrs. Trottghton and Sons,
the West India merchants, has created a great noise
among their Demerara connections, and will ne dottl•i
do the same here when the particulars are fully known ;
although, as far as at present appears, there is nothing to
justify censure. The Demerara papers received to-day,
of the 3d July, are filled with the particulars of the melt-
ing which was called to investigate their affairs and to
choose trustees for the benefit of the creditors, at which
the leading partner out there submitted a statement of
their accounts, which, though he would not pledge him-
self to its perfect accuracy, considering the emis.s.
rassed state of their affairs, and the short time
they had had to prepare, tsontained, he believed,
fair estimate of their liabilities and assets. The ex -
tent of their liabilities, on the showing of this ac-
count,
exceeds what was originally anticipated by A ,
bout-50,watt for -It i 8 stated -that tore iecistaivivtow
bills likely to come back, including those for tiv,
Adelphi estate not yet paid, is 120,030/. ; the colonic'
debts are placed at 10,0001. ; and the debts at home at
30.0001., making a total of 160,0001. The assets arc.,
described as consisting of remittances to the firm in •
London, in amount 18,000/., notes of hand 12,00'11., ,the
Adelphi estate 20,000/., book debts 25,000/., anti stock
7,009/,,, making a total of. 82,000/. The differeice of
78,000/ is accounted for by loss on 1,735 hogsheads,' 143
tierces, and 39 barrels of sugar, all arriving after the fall'
in the produce-market in the early part of this year;
17,500/. ; on 2,254 puncheons of molasses, 1.,200/. ; on
1,094 puncheons of rum, 10,5001., making altogether a.
loss on produce of 40,000/. The loss on the Adelphi 'es=
tate is reckoned at 10,000/., bad debts 10,0001., bad stock.
2,000/., profit and loss 4.000/., loss on ships 1,0001., loss
by failures of grocers 4,0001., loss by immigration to
Berbice 2,000/., with other losses of 5,0001., the partiets;•
lass of which are not stated in the papers. The
party who exhibited this statement was questioned
by many of the creditors, with the view, it `could appear,
to show that the firm had been for a long time in a bank-
rupt state, and that the declaration of inability to pay
had been deferred to the latest possible period. It was
admitted in answer that the concern had been in embar-
rassed circumstances, but they "were not of such magni-
tude as to lead to the supposition that by prudence and
circumspection they might not be eventually righted. The
firm contemplated no stoppage till the severe depreciation in
produce occurred, and then it was seen that they could
not carry on business further. They had, in the mean-
time, confined their transactions as much as possible, in
order to render the catastrophe less paralyzing t 9 the
mercantile community. Naturally enough, in the course
of an examination like this, a variety of questions mere
put, which, though relevant to affairs out there, would
not be interesting here, and therefore, without enumera-
ting these, it is only expedient to add, that trustees are
appointed to examine and take possession of all property '
for the general benefit of the creditors. The papers do
' not convey any other news of interest.
SUN.—The amount of business transacted in the funds
to-day was of a very limited character, and, as regards the
fluctuations, they were confined to the same extent as
on Saturday, viz., about 4 per cent., taking the extreme
prices. The market was rendered a little heavy in the
morning by the loose statement, contained in an Ame-
rican paper, of an attempt having been made by the Ca-
nadians to rescue M`Leod. Very few, however, attached
the least credit to it. What we want now to give firm-
ness to Stocks is fine weather, and an early solution of
the intentions of the Legislature on the -all important
subject of Commercial Reform. For immediate transfer,
Consols realised 891 to 1; and for account 89i to i. E.-
chequer Bills were 14s. to 16s. premium, Bank Stock re-

LONGEVITY.—There is now living at Be'grove,
near Welling, in Kent, a venerable man, named Reeves,
who was a soldier in the British army at the battle of
Lexington, in America, April 19, 1175. He was then
25, and consequently is now 91. An aged person, who
frequently stands at the gate of Greenwich Park 'was
also in the army opposed to General Washington in 1780.
He was also on board the Royal George when that ship
sunk at Spithead, and is now, by his own account, in his
90th year. The first of these old men is surrounded by
two generations, his descendants, all located near his'
place of residence.
THE CROPS.—We had very heavy rains on
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday ; but dig
weather has been better since, and we have good hopes
of a safe harvest, if advantage is taken of every hour of
sunshina. The wheat will be under an average crop.—
Hampshire Guardian.

Barley harvest commenced upon Tuesday last,
the 3d inst., upon a field on the farm of Garronhaugh,
parish of Rothiemay, belonging to Mr. William In-
gram, and proves to be a most abundant crop.—Abirdeett
Herald.

PARAPETS ON HIGHLAND ROADS.--We are
glad to learn that Mr. Grant, of Gleninoriston, is agitat-
ing the 'propriety of parapets being erected on the most
dangerous parts of our Highland roads. On the haukt
of Loch Ness such protection is much required, and We
trust the county will assent to the Proposition, whenit
is formally introduced at next Michaelmas meeting._:,
