European News by the Niagara.

The commercial news by the Niagara, which
has arrived at Halifax, whence we have full tee-
graphic dispatches, highly favorable to the pro-
ducIng and mercantile classes. Cotton has again
advanced half farthing on the pound, and bread
stufis have an spward tendency. American stocks
remain firm, with limited demand.
The political inform alton is well worthy Of ex-
animation. New interest centres upon Denmark
and the Schleswig Holstein Duches The
latter, so fer from yielding to the former, seems
determined 10 carry on the war with all possible
vigor, and To resist the entertainments of the
Danish power. The whole OF northern Germany

porting the Duchies, while the Russian power
threatens take the field, to preserve the rights
enjoyed under the treaty of 1915. Should the Gar
persist in this view, England may follow the ex-
ample; and, from present Appearances, such an
event would not be singular. II is certain that the
intricate question between Denmark and Schleswig-
Holstein is source of much perplexity to the Eu-
rop.an powers; and should the Duchies be assisted
and fortified by Germany, serogs, protracled war
may be the consequence.

auL GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION OF 1851
From the little we hear of preparations, on the part
OF our people. to exhibit specimens of their industry
and ingenuity in the great fair, which is to be held
in London, next year, We are very much inclined
to believe that the project does not meet with as
much favor as might be expected. We do not know
how TO account for this apathy. II may be that
our citizens working cautiously, and are deter
mined TO take the world by surprise, in the beauty
and elegance of the articles which they purpose
exhibiting, and are therefore silent We hope sim
cerely that such is the case. American mechanics
and artizans need not fear competition with any
nation in existence, in any department of industry
and we are confident they do not. We cannot,
however, account for the apparent apathy which
exists on this subject 1t must be recolected that
the time for the opening of the exhibition APP
proaches rapidly, and that there are but few months
more within which to prepare for it. We expect to
see our people their full share Of the prizes
and we will be much disappointed if they do not.

There was activity in the stock market to-day
and prices compared with those at the close
yesterday, show slight improvement. At the first
board Farmers Loan advanced q per cent; Canton
Company, u; Reading Railroad, III Erie Railroad 4;
Harlem. q Reading Railroad the fhvorite to-day,
among SPECTATORS, the sales having exceeded two
thousand shares Erie Income Bonds were in better
demand, hut prices with difficulty sustained and
the market closed weak 1t would be good thing for
the bears prices went up four five per cent and
good thing for outsiders If prices should fall on %
much. Something is required to give the market q
start Great difference of opinion exists in Wall street,
relative to the future complexion Of the money market
There has been a more active demand for money
during the past two weeks and the out door rates
hrve improved little This is partially the result
of the recent mercantile suspensions but there is .
larger amount of capital required at this season
10 engage in the ordinary enterprises of the day We
must be prepared for one Of those sudden and
countabe changes in the money market which have
heretofore created so much embarrassment among
commercial classes and resulted in So much bank
ruptcy. In the principal markets there is already
greater stringency and higher rates Of interest have
been established.
The receipts at the office Of the Assistant Treasurer
of this port to day, amounted to $S4 O0O payments

duties imports paid thus far this month, is
less than for the corresponding number of days In
July. The imports for August win probably be
raj millions less than in July. g

$500 264 in coin, principally silver.

ImpOriHht FROM " OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of the New Mexico Bali In the Senate.

The Senate seem determined TO make up for lost
time, and to finish the business before them with
commendable alaerity. Having disposed of the
Utah BILL the Texas boundary BILL and the bill for
the admission of California, they made the bin pro.
yiding a territorial government for New Mexico,
the special order for yesterday. We are glad rn
b. ing able To say, that, after little debate, il
ordered to be engSossei and will in all probabili-
ty, be passed to day Indeed there is doubt oft.
Alithese bills with the exception of the last were
remitted 10 the House of Representatives, where
they lie on the Speakers table; BIT that body
present, and proceeded with the consideration Of the
Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill AS, by re-
solution, deba'e cannot be extended to longer than
Friday on that measure, the probability is that
every thing will give way to il, and when that is
disposed of, the territorial bills will be taken in
hand. This is the way in which we construe the
refusing TO take the Senate bills in hand that
il, that the vote of the House, declining to take
them up is not an indication of hostility TO them
the part Of that body, but as evIncDg desire to
dispose OF the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill first There some members of the House
who WILL nevertheless contest the passage of those
bills TO the last inch, and, from present appear
ances, Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, will be the most
prominent opponent BY the provisions of the bill,
giving government to New Mexico, she can be
admitted as a State, with or without the Wilmot
proviso in her constitution.

attention in the feeling which proRpts such |
thoughts as these yet we know not how to ascer
tain remedy, while the navy is VIGOROUSLY in
capable of rvalng private enterprise in the results
of its designs and labors. While individuals are
producing steamships which challenge and receive
the admiration Of the world-which are equal 10 the
demands of long voysges-and which promise TO
outs;rip in speed in beauty, in model, and in
strength, the best finished specimens of a proud
and brilliant rival, where, we may inquire, do we
find the results of navy enterprise inviting the GO
yeTnment 10 abolish its economical policy of en-
ployiDg the merchant steam marine Has the navy
Vet produced any thing, in any measure, comparable
to the work designed and finished by private indi-
viduals IL is in vain that we look among the
steamships Of the navy for compariso with the
magnificent private steamers running in and out of
this port Even at this moment we he ar that the
United States steam frigate S4ranac is a failure.
She has been so badly constructed that she cannot
take coal for more than seven DAYS consumption
and the consequence is, that she is now destined
TO be overhauled, at very great expense, fit her
for the purposes for which she was originally de-
signed. Till such specimens Of foresight, sagacity
and skill in the navy department, are less frequent
think it will be impossible to convince any in
tellieent government that anything can be gained,
by Withdrawing patronage from the merchant
steam marine Our belief is, that the present Sc
cretary Of the Navy has feeling, this subject,
coinciden with that of the psblc and that he will
not take any step backward, while private enter
prise promises TO be SO largely beneficial to the
people and to the government, and to be so supe
rior in accomplishing every demand made by ne
cessity and circumstances II is but too signf-
cant fact that the steamers of the United
States government are altogether unequal to be the
rivals, in any particular, of those splendid floating
palaces, which are equal Ia anything of the same
kind in the world, and which are superior to all
those built under the auspices of the navy. When
the Navy Department, passing out of the realm of
words and promises, shall demonstrate upon the
broad sea practical results that it is right and
proper to conine government duties above its own
exclusive kees, and within its own privileged ribs
then, and not till then, we presume, will it be
deemed advisable for the government TO withdraw
countenance and support from private individuals,
who aided by the prestige of its favor, have real
ized the dream of fond hope, fully and aistlc-
torily, that their has become, very Justly,
and very naturally, subject OF national pride.
While such feeling exists, think the old and
gallant navy officers viii do well not to beat against
