LAWS, AND EQUAL JUSTICE.

The T%ammnny ticket proposed by these Butt
Enders, &c, takes decided ground against small
bills, internal Improvements by the State, and for
the specie clause OF tho sub ieasury. Their adj
vertisements will amuse you, and their pledges are
of impor lance, SO that | commend your attention to
them all, "a specimens OF Locotocoism in New
York. Mr.. BEsroN is the candidate of all these
People for the Presidency, after Mr.. VAN buren,
goes out.
The State sub Treasures which these Locofocos
propose is also n matter worth attention. They
are now gushing for a State sub-Treasury with the
same pertinacity that they urge a Federal sub-Trea-
.ury. They reason well, that if the currency The
People have is not safe and good enough for the
Federal Government, it is not good enough for the
State.
The Governor General of Canada, Mr.. PoULETT
THOMSON, has issued his proclamation, in which
there is nothing new, unless it be the averment that
he will put an end to the suspension of the Consti-
tuition of Lower Canada when he can devise a pro-
per manner, and in a proper time.
In money matters there is nothing new. Stocks
have advanced a little today. great deal Of -four
is going out to England. Almost all that arrives
here is exported. Oar money relations with Eng
land begin to look n great deal better.
NV YORK, October 80.
Eight days later news from Europe we received
last night, by a packet ship from Liverpool, by
which we learn that the Ro,h.childs had agreed to
protect the drafts for 10, 900, 900 francs Of the Bank
of the United States, re fused by the flottinguers.-
That Mr.. Jaudon had been ob iged 10 ask assist
ance of the Bank of England, some accounts say to
the amount of El00, 900 sterling, and others 300,-
600, which he had obtained partly under the guar
anty of the Earrings. The 9t00, 600 were advan-
ced for a term, and e200 600 more we're to follow,
ii was said, on a loan of 80 days, in order to allow
time for the arrival of the Great Western. The
vessel, it is said, carried from here two millions of
stocks of the State Of Pennsylvania, and rom
$500, 900 to one million in specie, on account of the
Bank OF the United States, so that there is but lit
tie doubt that the bank will have a fair account
No bills have been drawn by the bank since the
24th August, so that, if this turns out "a expected,
all the liabilities incurred by MIR. Jaudon viii be at
an end.
For ten DAYS prior to the sailing Of The packet
ship, the weather, with some exceptions, had been
so favorable as TO strengthen the hopes for an av-
erage crop, and in consequence wheat had receded.
American flour, duty paid, was quoted at 80 to 40
shillings per barrel, and in bond, 3js. to 38s. GIL
Wheat is Cd. to Cd. lower. Wheat was high in
France, and the crop was not tuning out to be as
good as expected.
The Hon. Mr.. Macauley had been appointed Se-
cretary at War, in the place of Lord Howick, re-
signed. Feargus O'Conner has been arrested at
Manchester for a seditious conspiracy, One of the
Paris papers asserts that the intended marriage OF
Queen Victoria to the young Coburgh Prince has
been officially announced 10 the French Govern
ment. Miss Julia Webster. the daughter If Dam
iel Webster, was married 10 London to Samuel APP
pleton, Esq, of Boston, Mr.. Linn, of Missouri. and
Mr.. Young, of Illinois, with a great number Of dis
tinguished Englishmen and English ladies, being
present at the wedding.
The corn riots in France have been all sHppres.
sed. There is nothing new from the East, and Me.
hemct Ali has not yet given up the Ottoman fleet.
From Spain there is nothing remarkable. Don
Carlos was journeying in France, and order was
being restored in Spain.
The drain of bullion was going on. and the pro-
liabilities Of a suspension were anxiously discussed.
The effect Of the news here has not been favorable.
D.. s. Bank stock has fallen to-day nearly 10 per
cent. but other stocks have partially maintained
their ground. The rate of interest in London was
7 and 8 per cent. and one pound notes were talked
Of.
NEw YORK, October 81.
The character Of the foreign news is much dwelt
upon in the streets, end there is some diversity Of
opinion. The Bank of England seems to be ia al.
most as uneasy a condition as the Pennsylvania
Bank of the United States. The ability of thai, in.
stitution 10 maintain specie payments without one
pound notes, and tho character of the crops, will be
pretty well tested by the news which the Great
Western will bring in the eerly part Of next week.
Exchange here upon London has gone down to
1914 and 10Y, which demonstrates that no more
specie will be called for just now FOR export. Bills
on France are offered at 5 IS. This fall in eSchan-
ges quite settles tho question as to the ability Of the
banks to maintain specie payments. U. s. Bank
Stock sold to-day as low as 65 on time, but at 10
cash. After the Board of Brokers adjourned, sales
we're at72.
The Tammany party intend to have an immense
procession in the streets tonight. The following
persons are invited 10 attend in the various party
advertisements. (see New Era y Butt-enders, Point
