Highly Important Financial and Commercial
Intelligence from Europs-Increase OF Fall

Highly important Financial and Commercial
Intelligence from Europs-Increase OF Fall
ures.
BY the arrival of the steamship Hibernia, at
Boston from Liverpool, we have fourteen days
latter intelligence from all parts of Europe. The
advices are of startling importance, and nave
created a tremendous senoation IN commercial
circles on ,his side the Atlantic. What will be
tho Ultimate result, no one can tell.
1t appears by the accounts received, that many
ofthe houses which have failed, have been for
many years on the very brink of bankruptcy;
that they have been mere shells, likely to be
crushed at any moment, and have been able from
the position some of the partners have occupied
in the financial circles of London, to sustain
themselves wonderfully, considering the rotten
ness of their affairs. In the face Of immense
LOSSES in the face of an actual state OF bankrupt
cy many of these houses have enjoyed for
long time high credit, and have consequently
failed for very large amounts. 1t is fortunate
such houses have gone out of existence; the
commercial community at large WILDE benefit
ed by it, although many houses solvent under
other circumstances will be carried down in the
whirlpool. The atmosphere of the commercial
world will be purified by the process, and clear
commerce.
There are In every great commercial country
many concerns, struggling along under heavy bur-
dens of embarrassments, trusting to some fOrtu-
nate speculation in some ol the movements of the
day, to extricate themselves from the difficulties
with which they are surrounded. They use up
their substance long before they suspend. and
when their bankruptcy becomes public, there is
l..s hill l.Ss Al,
get comparatively nothing. A majority Of the
failures which have recently taken place in Great
Britain and on the Continent, will not pay ten
shillings on the pound, and many not more than
two or three shillings. The heavy losses re-
sulting from such rOttenness in the leading fall
ures will, we fear, fall heavily upon houses on
this side of the Atlantic. Our safety, to great
extent lays in the fact that the losses have been
pretty well distributed on the other side, which
acts as very general distributor on this side,
and in connection with TINS is the fact
that we are very strong, and are able
to stand a pretty good drain upon our
purses Two to three years of good, sound,
healthy trade, have given us resources which, in
times like these, will prove our salvation. Many
failures may ultimately take place here, but it
will not be until the last end Of the race, not I'M
til there is no hope left. We have no doubt in
many instances merely the skeleton of CONNER
cial concerns will be left, but if they can keep
that together, the shock will not be fatal. We
have an abiding faith in the indomitAble energy
and perseverance, Of our mercantile classes, and
hope for the best.
We annex list Of failures in Europe in the
months of August and September. 1t includes
names which few on this side expected to see in
such n nositiop

litsrsts, and hundreds will be .rreyocably ruin
ed, and no record oft meet1he public eye
The most important question likely to grow
out Of, or we might say which has. already
grown out ofths position Of financial and COM
mercial aff.irs in Europe generally, and Great
Britain particularly, is the probable effect upon
the financial systems of the world. The effect
upon the currency ofthis country, will be very
trifi6g, not of the nature, or TO the extent the
leading capitalists of England anticipate and de-
sire. We have specie currency, and so long
as we adhere to it, the current of the precious
metals will be in instead of out, to instead of
from us. The fnancers Of Great Britain will
BE- exceedingly disappointed in the result Of the
money crisis in their own country upon this.
individuals here may be serious sufferers, but the
system of finances which has in such short
time become SO firmly established, cannot be
shaken by any Of the revulsions which may
take place in Europe for all time.

THE FRENCH OCEAN STEAMERs.-We under
stand that the French steamship Philadelphia
received some damage on her voyage TO Cher
bourg, which must be repaired before she leaves
that port; and on that account she did not leave

injuries were not of great consequence but the
company to which she belongs considered it
prudent to thoroughly overhaul her before she
started again.
This circumstance having deranged the days
Of departure, they have been altered, and are
