Pringle, Cook, and Lunhart's establishment in. the
same towx h's suspended.
The Philadelphia Ledger of the 30th says :

"The investigation which has been going on for a
week or two past by the directors of the Bank of Penn.
Sylvania into the affairs of that institution, we under-
' stand, has been brought so near a close that an invita-
tion was yesterday extended to the presidents of the
other banks in the city to examine the result. This was
declined, on the ground that the city banks had appoint-
ed a committee of their number to represent them on
the subject, an 1 to interfere in the matter until that
committee had made its report would be indelicate and
improper. We understand generally, however, that the
exhibit is not favourable. The immediate liabilities of
the bank, in round numbers, independent of capitsl
stock, we are informed, are about 2,000,000 dole., to
meet which there are assets appraised at 1,750,000 dole.
If this appraisement and amount of liabilities are correct,
the bank would seem to be unable to pay its debts,
leaving nothing for stockholders."
vf: 11 (Boston Traveller of the 29th says :
" There was quite a reaction in mining shares, and the
few orders to purchase, induced by the very low quota-
tions now ruling, had an electric effect upon the mar-
kets. Minnesota advance] $lO per share ; Rockland
opened at 16i, but closed at 20. Pittsburg sold after
the board at 168, an improvement of $3 per share over
the auction pries of yesterday."
The New York Life Illustrated says :
" There is scarcely a publisher who has escaped from
the list of ' failed or suspended.' We may name without
discredit the following :—Harper and Brothers, J. H.
Calton, and Co., H. Cossperthwaite and C 0.,. John P.
Jewett and Co., J. S. Redfield. P. J. Cozzens, Miller,
Orton, and Co., R. Marsh, 3. M. Emerson and Co.,
Miller and Curtis, Bangs, Brother, and Co., G. P. Put-
nam and Co., Sanford and Swords, H. W. Derby and
Co., Fowlers and Wells, and others, who found it im-
possible to meet their engagements during this unpre-
cedented panic, which so completely deranged the cur-
rency throughout the whole country."
The Secretary of the Navy was said to have
made arrangements whereby the mechanics attached
to the various navy yards will be kept fully em-
ployed throughout the winter.
The United States' steam frigate Saranac, which .
recently sailed for the Pacific, encountered a severe
gale, during which she sustained such damage to
her machinery as to compel her to put into Norfolk
for repairs.

The Deinocrati of Newbury port had nominated
the Hon. Caleb Coshing for their repre.entative in
the State Legislature, and he accepted the nomina-
tion.

The city of Baltimore had been placed under
martial law by the Governor of Maryland, iu order
to put a stop to the outrages committed by gangs
of rowdies during the election.
An immense meeting of the democracy of the
city of New York was held on the evening of the
29th, in and around Tammany Hall, when resolu-
tions were adopted ratifying the party nominations
for county officers, endorsing the Kansas policy of
Governor Walker, and recommending amendments
to the banking system of the State.
The steamship Granada arrived at New York on
the 29th ult., with Havannah advices to the 24th.
She brought 156,358 doll. in specie. It was thought
that the Quaker City would take a large amount of
specie for New York. The money crisis in the city
of Havaunah had caused Government to issue a de-
cree ordering an examination to be made as to the
solvency and capital of all the newly formed joint-
stock speculation concerns on the island. Sugar
had declined in price, and trade generally was dull.
There were no freights for American vessels in port.
The reports of the sugar crop were favourable.
Colonel Blythe, the United States' Consul-General,
had returned to his post. A large cargo of slaves
had been landed in a starving condition. The
steamship Star of tie West, from Aspinwall, for
New York, with the California mails and treaBute,
had not reached Havannah at 6 o'clock ou the
morning of the 24th.
By way of Havannah we have news from San
Jose, Costa Rica, to the 23d ult.-20 days later
than previous accounts. Gen. Canes had left the
capital on a diplomatic mission to Nicaragua. It
was evident that the relations subsisting between
Costa Rica and Nicaragua were anything but cor-
dial, and it was announced as very probable that
the two old parties in the latter country would soon
again be arrayed in arms against each other.
The steamer Tennessee had arrived at New Or-
leans with news from the city of Mexico to the
18th, and from Vera Cruz to the 21st ult., and a
quarter of a million in specie. A new Cabinet had
