"That tt-ie British Government do not like the aspect
and condition of things at Panama, and have informed
our Government to that effect. They are fearfal, judg-
ing of the report of Commissioner Corwine some weeks
ago, that our Goverment contemplate, following out the
suggestions contained in the report of that gentleman,
occupying the isthmus of Panama with a strong force
sufficient to protect the rights of American citizens in
transit over that strip of country. Our Government, I
understand, have not eomo to any fixed determination as
to what they will do. The instructions, however, of
Mr. Corwine, our consul at Panama, are clear and ex-
plicit ; and if, in his judgment, anything should arise
which would seem to demand it, a Government vessel
will be sent there and remain there too, to protect Ame •
rican citizens at whatever hazard ; and Secretary Marcy,
I am fully persuaded, will so inform our anxious cousins
across the Atlantic."

The New York Courier and Inquirer says :--
"No candidate that was not elected has ever received
so large an electoral vote as Fremont, and no successful
candidate so small a one as Mr. Buchanan is likely to
have, if, indeed, he has been chosen by the people."
In Warren-street, New York, a fire had broken
out in a wholesale drug store, and destroyed pro-
perty to the amount of 500,000 dols.
A great conflagration had occurred at Syracuse,
devastating the city to the extent of nearly
1,000,000 dols. and rendering numbers houseless.
New York commercial advices state that the
stock-market, which had generally advanced dur-
ing the past week with an active business, closed
dull, with a tendency to reaction. The demand
yesterday was mostly of a speculative character,
but the prices generally were not affected. The
demand—for railroad -bonds was limited, with a
downward tendency of prices. At the second
board an increased activity prevailed at a heavy
decline for the leading railroad shares.
The demand for money was still active, mainly
from the produce dealers and stock operators, but
the necessities of the mercantile community at
large were not so pressing as they were last week,
and the general belief appears to be that the worst
of the " fall" stringency is over. First class
paper went freely at 9 to 10 per cent. for 30 to 60
days, and 10 to 12 per cent. for three to six months.
The Bank specie averages show a handsome in-
crease, despite the non-arrival of the Californian
packets and the large export from this port and
Boston last week.
In exchange the business for the Asia has been
pretty large, but, as low as prices were quoted,
bills on London were Si to 01 per cent. premium ;
Paris, sf. 20c. to sf. Mc. at GO days, and sf.
12c. short sight ; and Hamburg, 36 to 361.
In the cotton market the European and Southern
advices combined have exerted a depressing in-
fluence, and prices declined fully lc. ; at the de-
cline there has only been a moderate demand,
mainly to meet the immediate requirements of
home spinners.
The demand for pork has been limited to the
vrants of the local trade, which has been small, the
