Commercial and Financial. Contrasting
the operations of trade, and the general aspect
OF monetary affairs of the country, for the last
fortnight, with those of the preceding, if is
gratifying to observe that slight, but still a
perceptble, improvement had taken place, re-
tarded by the stoppage of Trueman & Cook,
OF London, an eminent brokerage house, whose
liabilities are estimated at G35O, 900
The price of money is still nigh, and insol-
vencles are rife. The fury of the panic has
been stayed, but money is yet most difficult TO
be had. Commercial distress has not been
materially assuaged, but hope is higher, and
the future is promising.
The English funds for the last fortnight
suffered less fuctuaton than for considerable
time previously, with unequivocal tendency
to ascend, promoted by importation of foreign
gold, amounting to nearl y million and half
OF pounds.
The Bank of England still demands per
cent, while its branches refuse to advance I'M

New York 10 Liverpool, under circumstances
the most perfectly appalling that the magma
ton can possibly conceive. Mistaking the
light on Rock Island, near Cape Fear, on the
south coast of Ireland, for the old Head of
klnsaIe, she continued her course, to make
Cork harbor, but in less than quarter of an
hour, with suddenness which defed all hu-
man effort to avert her fate, she came broad
side on rock called the West Csff, about four
miles inside the Cape, and, in less than ten
minutes after striking, was dashed to atoms,
overwhelming no less than 90 of her hapless
crew and passengers, IS only of 40, survi-
wing, who succeeded in laundering up the face
OF the rock which forms a wretched island,
containing three fshermen's huts

Tur MESs.GE-We stated In our last that
we should offer some comments upon 'lie
Presidents Message to-day, but owing to the
fact that the Editor has been professionally
onoaoed since his return home last oatuFday'
he has not had an opportunity to attend to his
Editorial duties We, however, extract the
following article from the New Haven Regis
fer, which expresses our views OF the docu-
ment -
s. The Nessage.--We have never perused
an Executive Message which afforded US more
qualification than the recent State paper from
President Polk Clear, comprehensive and
firm-exhbiting unparalleled prosperity IN
every Department Of the Governments I'll,
umphant success in all the great national
measures of reform adopted by the DEMOCRATIC
party-a surprising economy IN the natlonaI
finances. and in the conduct OF the present war
it is convincing and unanswerable. In
demnitv for the past, and security for the 1u-
ture.' in the Mexican difficulty, is position
which the people will approve, and facuon
dare not assail, On this ground the PRESIDENT
will stand, and no other line of policy can
have his approval We shall now see II the
advocates of a dishonorable peace Will abide
the issue
The working of the Tariff OF 1916, has
refuted completely the prediction OF the pro-
tpctionists. which while yielding eight mil
lions more of revenue than the tariff of AZ,
shows largely increased foreign trade, with
= balance of several millions in favor of this
county! A proud triumph for the sagacious
and.able Secretary Of the Treasury.
"The predicted debt of $3.50, 100000, with
which the wing press has been ringing, exists
only in their hopes. Only $27, OOO,0 900 of
expense has grown out of the war and for
the repayment Of that we hold the lands and
resources of Mexico and only in the impro-
bable event of the success of the wing party
IN our national affairs, will Mexico be allowed
to escape the responsibility of her perfdious
conduct In conclusion, we urge upon our
readers an attentive perusaI of this interesting
document"

WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY-We
would advise our readers who are laborng under
an affection of the lungs, to make immediate trial
of this truly excellent medicine. The most intel
ligent and respectable families of our city have a.
dopted it favorite family medicine and per-
sons predisposed to Consumption, who have used
it, speak in the highest terms of its efficacy.
Scores of individuals have been cured of Asth-
ma, the early stages of Consumption, bleeding of
the lungs, obstinate coughs, ETC., by this Basam,
after hope had we'll nigh Welded to despair. We
say this in all candor. 1t is indeed melancholy
truth that thousands fall victims to Consumption
every year, from no other cause than neglected
Colds; yet we find hundreds and thousands, who
treat such complaints with the greatest indiffer-
ence, and let them run on for weeks, and even
months, without thinking Of the danger.

DR.. H. +. Peery's VermJiHge or g Dead Shot,"
for Worms.--The exceeding small quantity of
this Medicine required to test the existence OF
worms, or to remove every one from the system,
its operating in few hours, together with its great
certainty of effect, constitute it one of the most
brilliant discoveries of the age 1t seldom needs
to be repeated, and never to be followed by any
other purge. Therefore, in urgent cases, as those
of fits, spasms, or commissions, caused by worms,
its unrvalled superiority is manifest. Few medl-
cines better calculated to improve the health of
children, even where no exist, as it removes
those Of crudities that line and closely adj
here to the stomach and bowels, giving rise to
symptoms that counterfeit every variety of worm
disease. Although prompt and certain in its ope-
ration, and not unpleasant to the taste, it is per-
fectIy safe, and adapted to the tenderest age.
