Western left Bristol on the 24lh, and may be expee

a moro intense look for news from over sea, than
for this news now. The somewhat doubtful condi-
ton Of the Bgilish crops, by the last arrival, has ad-
ded not a little in the anxiety: for, if thrrc is an nc

ary and political condition OF Gfeut Britain one Of
extreme danger, the results will be most mischiey-

There is but little Of interest in the news mar
ket. The editors have hardly enough Of tho Tap
material to make a newspaper OF dufiag this hot
weather.
The New Brunswick newspapers appear to be
very much dissatisfied with the appointment oi
Mr.. FEATHERsrosHAuGH on the commission to ex-

Der I'd.
Specie to a very considerable amount was drawn
from the banks of this city, yesterday, by the agents
Of the Philadelphia Banks. The amount Is said 10
be half a million of dollars. This has caused some
sensation in our money market, and the banks
which have been called upon will necessarily cease
10 let cut, If they do not take in, more sail.
The arrivals of flour are but small, and the sup

The pressure upon the money market is unmiti
gated. The banks discount little OF none. In the
mean time, however, business men do not suffer
much. The banks are pursuing a proper policy 10
wards them. The opening of the fell trade, and
the rush Of money for purchases, sre TO them an es-

exchanges il, however, excrutiating foi all the pur-

RHODE ISLAND IS OURS, with two Wing MEM
bers of Congress, and a Wing Legislature. The
Rhode Island line stood impfegnable against all
manner OF assaults from the enemy. The selection
Of Mr.. DoRR, a Locofoco AbolitiOnist chief, TO Gust
a Wing member, on the grounds that he was a De-
mocratic Aboliionisi, | would commend to the at
tention of the Southern Administration press, who
attempt to blindfold their readers with the idea
that Atolitionism is confined exclusively to the
Wings in the North.
Money affairs ate in a very bad way. The pres.
